"If we don't raise the rent, you will definitely lose money! How about this, there will be no increase in the next two years, that's a deal." Tian Chengcheng was afraid that the Zhang family mother and son would feel bad, so she thought of a compromise.
Even after the matter was finalized, Zhang's mother and son still felt like they were dreaming.
In the blink of an eye, not only did their family escape poverty, but they also lived in a big house!
This was something that was unimaginable before Tian Chengcheng and the others came yesterday.
Excited, Zhang's mother knelt directly in front of Tian Chengcheng, "Fubao, you are our family's great benefactor. On behalf of our family, I kowtow to you."
Tian Chengcheng was so scared that she almost jumped up. After she came to her senses, she hurried to hold her back.
"Aunt Zhang, what are you doing? Hurry up and get up. I'm a junior. Aren't you shortening my life by doing this?"
However, Zhang's mother still knelt on the ground, "This has nothing to do with seniority. You really saved our family. If you need anything in the future, as long as we can help, I'm willing to sacrifice my life."
"Aunt Zhang, you're being too serious. This is called mutual benefit. We give you money and you give us a house. Although we are an employer-employee relationship, I would rather make friends with everyone. When you're out and about, every friend you have opens up new avenues."
Although Zhang Youcai's family is poor, they are native locals. In addition, he has been hanging around the area all year round, so it is more convenient for him to be involved in many things.
Tian Chengcheng couldn't pull up Zhang's mother, and looked at Zhang Youcai anxiously, "Brother Zhang, please help pull Aunt Zhang up quickly."
However, the next second, Zhang Youcai knelt down next to his mother, and the mother and son kowtowed to Tian Chengcheng together.
"Fubao, my mother is right. You are our family's great benefactor. I kowtow to you and thank you for your help to our family."
“…”
When Tian Chengcheng saw this, she was so scared that she quickly jumped away, shouting as she ran, "Uncle, uncle, come quickly! I can't pull up Aunt Zhang and Brother Zhang."
She really can't stand others kneeling to her.
Watching her running away with all her might, Zhang's mother and son looked at each other, a little unsure of what to do.
Fu Xinhan said, "Hurry up and get up! You've scared Fubao! Fubao is a kind person. She feels sorry for anyone who suffers and wants to help them. You're lucky to know her. You'll definitely become rich in the future."
After saying that, he went after Tian Chengcheng.
The Zhang family mother and son were stunned for a moment. Zhang Youcai helped Zhang's mother to stand up, "Mom, kowtow and get up. Don't scare Fubao."
When Tian Hengyuan heard Tian Chengcheng's voice, he thought something had happened and ran out to hug her.
"Fubao, what's wrong?"
Fu Xinhan told her what happened. Tian Hengyuan felt distressed and helpless. He patted her back to comfort her while finding Zhang Youcai and his mother.
"Sister Zhang, you are talented. Fubao is a little timid. Please don't mind it. But please don't do things like kneeling. Fubao can't bear it." Tian Hengyuan said.
The Zhang family mother and son nodded, agreeing.
Then, the group and Lao Liu roughly settled the required supplies and the approximate amount of money needed.
At Tian Chengcheng's request, the decoration of the rental house and the stove needed on the south side were given to Tian Chengcheng and his team, while the Zhang family was responsible for the north house. In addition, Tian Chengcheng originally said that they would be responsible for the hardening of the yard ground.
But Zhang Youcai felt that Tian Chengcheng and the others should not be responsible for this, after all, this was their home.
"The hardened ground in the yard belongs to us. It should be ours. Besides, if you don't want to rent it, you can't take it away." Zhang Youcai said.
Tian Chengcheng thought about it and felt that half for each family was reasonable.
Moreover, the initial investment costs were shared by them and Wang Xiaohong and her daughter, so it would not be a good idea for her to make the decision alone.
"Okay, then the ground in the yard will be hardened, and each family will pay half. Two hundred yuan per family is about enough."
Tian Chengcheng looked at the list and asked Master Liu to list the hardened ground separately.
At this time, Zhang Youhua, the second son of the Zhang family, spoke up, "Brother, doesn't the hardened ground belong to them? If you take it over, you'll have to pay more. Do you think we have enough money? It's two hundred yuan. If you think you have more, give me more."
Zhang Youhua's words instantly changed the originally harmonious atmosphere.
Only then did Tian Chengcheng notice the second son of the Zhang family. He was about fifteen or sixteen years old, dark and thin, with a slightly hunched back, a pointed chin and slightly thick lips. His eyes were naturally a little swollen, and the way he looked at people was not very pleasant.
Although we should not judge a book by its cover, but seeing this face, especially that look in the eyes, Tian Chengcheng still wants to say: Appearance reflects the heart.
People who are open and honest in their hearts have sincere and firm eyes that reveal kindness and make people feel comfortable.
Zhang Youhua gives people the feeling of being petty and uncomfortable.
To put it bluntly, this kind of person is not easy to associate with!
When Tian Chengcheng looked at Zhang Youhua, Zhang Youhua also looked at her, and his eyes were even offensive.
Tian Chengcheng's face immediately darkened and her eyes turned cold.
"Youhua, what are you talking about? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll slap you in the face!" Zhang Youcai immediately stopped him.
Zhang Youhua lowered his head, but muttered, "It was all agreed upon. You must be sick to be giving money away. Who else have you seen giving money away on their own initiative?"
"I." Tian Chengcheng said bluntly, "Do you mean I'm sick?"
Zhang Youhua didn't say anything. He just saw Tian Chengcheng glaring at him.
He's just a bastard, yet he thinks he's a lucky treasure. Ugh! Yesterday, he'd already inquired about the details of Tian Chengcheng and the others. He knew that Tian Chengcheng was picked up and kicked out by her original adoptive mother. He also knew Fu Xinhan's background; he wasn't a good person.
Zhang Youcai was furious and kicked him. "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you to death. When is it your turn to speak in this family? Go inside and stick a few more matchboxes together if you can."
Zhang Youhua was kicked to the ground but didn't say a word. He got up, brushed off the dirt on his body, and complained to his mother, "Mom, my brother hit me."
Zhang's mother's face was not looking good either. She only said, "Go inside. Your brother is the boss at home."
Zhang Youhua didn't say anything else and went straight into the house, but it was obvious that he was very dissatisfied.
Zhang Youcai said apologetically, "My brother is young and naive. Leave him alone. Let's continue our discussion."
However, Tian Chengcheng couldn't pretend nothing had happened.
She was careless!
I had a preconceived notion that Zhang Youcai was a simple and honest person, and I thought his family was the same.
But obviously, she was wrong!
Maybe Zhang Youcai was also wrong. The burden he shouldered alone and his selfless dedication did not earn him the slightest gratitude from Zhang Youhua. Instead, it made him extremely selfish, thinking that everything he got was his due. Once one day Zhang Youcai stopped contributing, it would become Zhang Youcai's fault and he would be hated!
"Fubao?" Zhang Youcai felt very embarrassed when he saw that she didn't speak.
Tian Chengcheng came back to her senses, looked at Zhang's mother and then at Zhang Youcai, "Actually, I think Aunt Zhang is wrong. Although you are brother and sister, you can't have the final say in this family."
