Chu Yuefang didn't want to think ill of Ling Hanmin, but now that he had delivered something to her door, she did feel that it might not be anything good.
After Ling Hanmin and Zhou Meixiang got married, they became richer and their clothes were obviously different. They rode a brand new 28-inch bicycle, wore black leather shoes and a watch.
However, Ling Hanmin did not give any special care to the Ling family. Of course, Ling Hancheng and his wife did not need it. It was just that Ling Hanmin himself ate well and lived well, and only gave two or three boxes of snacks to Mrs. Ling during the holidays.
Regardless of the amount of things, Old Mrs. Ling didn't see any filial piety from her youngest son.
Since it has come to this, why not just maintain face?
The promising eldest son thinks about her from time to time, and the sensible second son accompanies her. Old Mrs. Ling does not expect anything from her youngest son Ling Hanmin.
Now that Ling Hanmin brought the pork over, Chu Yuefang didn't believe he had any good intentions.
"If you have something to say, come to this room and talk about it."
Chu Yuefang walked towards the twins' room and gave her eldest son a look, asking him to go into the room and watch over his younger siblings while they slept.
Ling Hanmin's behavior clearly meant he had something to ask for, and she was afraid that if she couldn't agree to what he wanted to say, they would end up arguing...
That would scare the children.
After entering the kitchen, Chu Yuefang sat on a stool and pointed to the stool opposite, indicating that Ling Hanmin should sit down as well.
Ling Hanmin put the pork on the table with a smile: "Sister-in-law, these are all hind leg meat, very fresh."
Chu Yuefang actually believed what she said. It was said that Zhou Meixiang's second brother was working in a pig slaughterhouse in Donghu Town, so it would definitely not be difficult for him to get some pork.
She didn't touch the pork. She looked at Ling Hanmin and said, "Just tell me what's going on. Mom's not here. If you had nothing to do, you wouldn't come here."
Ling Hanmin was embarrassed for a moment: "Look at what Second Sister-in-law said. If I have nothing to do, can't I come to see you and Second Brother?" He paused and said, "What happened last time was all my fault. It was also because Mom was so cold to me. I couldn't control myself at the time and lost my temper at you and Second Brother. I admit my mistake. Second Sister-in-law, please don't bother with me!"
Chu Yuefang looked at Ling Hanmin with a little disbelief.
It’s only been a few days, and Ling Hanmin actually came to apologize?
It's really strange.
Chu Yuefang thought for a moment and said, "I'll let it go. You hurt your second brother, I have no right to care about it. When your second brother comes back, you can tell him this."
Some things can't be resolved with just an apology.
Ling Hancheng was really sad about Ling Hanmin's matter. Over the years, Ling Hancheng had been speaking well of his younger brother in front of Old Lady Ling, but Old Lady Ling was also very stubborn and it was difficult for her to change her mind once she had made up her mind.
Ultimately, Old Mrs. Ling was too disappointed with Ling Hanmin.
Ling Hanmin made his own choice and led to the current result, but he did not think it was his fault. Instead, he put the blame on Ling Hancheng.
Not only did Ling Han succeed, but even his sister-in-law Chu Yuefang was heartbroken.
This is not something that can be ignored just by throwing a few pounds of pork.
Ling Hanmin forced a smile and said, "Yes, my second sister-in-law is right. I'll apologize to my second brother in person when he comes back. But right now, there's something I might need your help with..."
...Look.
It is true that one does not visit the temple for no reason.
Chu Yuefang was not surprised at all to hear this, and even felt that it was as she expected.
"Let's talk about what it is first."
Chu Yuefang was wondering what exactly she needed their help with, and whether this favor was worth Ling Hanmin specially bringing so much pork.
Ling Hanmin said, "The thing is, my second sister-in-law also knows that my father... I mean my father-in-law, Meixiang's father has been getting worse and worse recently. I estimate that he may only have one or two days left."
Chu Yuefang nodded.
She knew about this.
Old man Zhou is not young anymore. When he was young, he made money and smoked and drank every day, which ruined his health. Last year, he suffered from hemiplegia and has been staying at home ever since.
I went to the county hospital last month, but unfortunately came back empty-handed.
People in Huaihe Village said that Old Man Zhou had died in the past few days.
It’s really hard to get through the New Year.
However, Chu Yuefang didn't understand what Old Man Zhou's matter had to do with their family.
Ling Hanmin said, "This... Meixiang's father is dying, and Meixiang's two brothers are planning for his funeral. But Meixiang's father was a bit of a scoundrel when he was young. They have contacted many families in the village, but no one is willing to help. There is really no other way..."
Chu Yuefang finally understood.
Old man Zhou was too rough when he was young. Even though his family was rich, few people in Huaihe Village were willing to associate with them.
Now that he's almost dead, funeral arrangements need to be made, right? Someone needs to help carry the coffin, right? Someone needs to help clean up, serve, and wash the dishes, right?
When Old Man Zhou was young, he offended every villager in the village. It is impossible that anyone would be willing to help him now.
Chu Yuefang asked, "But why did you ask your second brother for help?"
"No, no, I definitely can't trouble my second brother with this kind of work," Ling Hanmin said, "Actually, it's like this..."
Ling Hanmin explained his real purpose.
The Zhou family couldn't find anyone to help them, and they regretted not having established good relations with the villagers before. That's why they were in such a difficult situation. They wanted to find someone to help them establish good relations with the villagers during these two days.
Ling Hancheng is a teacher. Many children have been taught by him. Most people in Huaihe Village have a good relationship with Ling Hancheng. After all, they expect him to teach their children to read and write.
The Zhou family really couldn't think of any other solution, so they could only ask Ling Hancheng to help talk to each family, at least to ease the relationship so that the Zhou family wouldn't be ignored in the future.
Only then was Ling Hanmin "sent" out.
The pork was given by Zhou Meixiang's second brother. In addition, Ling Hanmin also took out a watch from his pocket.
It's impossible to ask someone to do something without giving them any benefits.
This watch is more expensive than the one Ling Hanmin wears, and Ling Hanmin is jealous.
Chu Yuefang raised her head and looked at Ling Hanmin. For a moment she didn't know what to say.
How dare you ask for help like this?
