"Hey, Dad. ”

"You also know how to answer the phone, how many times you call and don't answer. ”

"No, Dad, I didn't turn on my phone before, so let's talk about it first. ”

"Ahem, your brother is getting married, you know?"

"Well, I just knew. ”

Dad paused for a few seconds and continued.

"What about your brother, he has been working hard since he was a child, he is not as good at studying as you, he has not been able to find a suitable job after graduation, you are good in the city, and you don't know how to help, so let him be idle all day long. ”

"Now the boss is not small, and it is not easy to talk about the object, our family, even if it is smashing the pot and selling iron, we must help your brother marry this daughter-in-law into the door. ”

"I heard from your brother that the girl is already pregnant with my grandson, and my old Jiang family can be regarded as a successor. ”

"As the boss, it is natural for you to help your brother, I have already collected 100,000 yuan, and I am still 200,000 yuan short of the bride price to marry that girl and enter the door. ”

"200,000 is not a big deal for you, you can give it to your brother directly, don't think about him, family, there is nothing that you don't pay back. ”

I froze in place, not knowing what to answer.

Dad has been partial to his brother since he was a child, although I understand that he is the eldest and deserves to be pampered.

But now that I'm married and have my own mouth to eat, I can't sell my house to make up the 200,000!

What's more, this house was bought by my wife!

With my mind settled, I said into the phone, "Dad, I can't take out that much money." ”

"When I married Xu Mei, she didn't ask for a bride price, how could my brother-in-law's family be so open-mouthed?

My tone wasn't very good, and my dad exploded on the other end of the phone.

"Jiang Wenshan, what are you pretending to be with me? You and Xu Mei earn so much money a month, what's wrong with giving your brother 200,000 yuan?"

"Don't say it's 200,000, I want you to subsidize your brother with 2 million, and you have to smash the pot and sell iron for your brother to get it together!"

"He is your brother, not someone else, your brother is in difficulty, and it is your obligation to do your best to help him!"

"The girl is still waiting for the bride price, you have to give your brother 200,000, I don't care what method you use, anyway, your brother's marriage must be concluded!"

"Dad!"

"Dut...... Toot ......"

The other end of the phone had hung up, and the mood that had been better suddenly fell into discomfort again.

They are all sons, why is there such a big difference?

When I first married Xu Mei, I was so poor that I didn't even have the money for a wedding, and I didn't see my father so actively pooling money for me.

Now that my brother has changed, how can it become that he doesn't care whether I live or die, and desperately wants to make up the 300,000?

He's biological, am I not biological?

Sometimes I wonder if I just picked it up on the side of the road.

Putting down the phone, my wife looked at me worriedly, and my brother asked.

"Brother, Dad has made it clear to you, when will you give me this money?"

I'm disappointed, my heart hurts, how can I have such a brother!

Dad was so loud on the phone just now, they must have heard it.

The wife asked the elder brother with a frown.

"Wencai, I didn't ask for a penny of the bride price when I married into your family, if my brother-in-law asked for a 300,000 bride price when she entered the door, then I will mention the bride price to my father now. ”

"A bowl of water should be level, your wife wants 300,000, and I also want 300,000, so it's fair, otherwise, no one should ask for a bride price, otherwise, this family will not have a good time in the future." ”

Although the wife's tone was calm, there was no room for negotiation in the meaning.

The elder brother was also a little angry.

"Sister-in-law, you have already married in, there is no reason to ask for a bride price, and besides, you and my brother have saved a lot of money over the years, let you take out 200,000 yuan and deduct and search like this, and you are not afraid of people's jokes!"

The elder brother's words completely angered his wife.

"Jiang Wencai, did I give you face or what? 200,000, open your mouth and ask for it, why don't you go and rob the bank?"

"Don't you know how I got over with your brother all these years?"

"We're still paying off our mortgage every month, and we don't even have the money to buy a car, and it costs money for Shanshan to go to school. ”

"You only see us making money, why don't you want to think about how much we usually spend and what money we can save?"

"200,000 yuan is a small amount of money for us?

"Let me tell you, either tell your daughter-in-law not to collect the money from selling her daughter, or you will find a way to make up the money yourself and ask us?"

"I'm sorry, I can only make up 20,000 for you!"

The elder brother and his wife looked at each other angrily, and they did not give in to each other.

After a confrontation, the elder brother saw that he couldn't please him, so he dropped his cruel words and left angrily.

Looking at my wife's majestic appearance, I suddenly remembered the scene of my wife fighting a group of long-tongued women in the community in those years.

That battle, a war of words, my wife is not afraid!

But now, alas.

The past is back to the past, those days of common suffering are far away, and now life is gradually getting better, but there is no longer the same hatred and hatred that I had at the beginning.

My wife helped me back to the ward, and after some advice, I took my daughter back to the hotel to sleep.

I lay quietly in bed, my mind always reminiscing about the past.

Although those days were a little harder, our family of three was very happy.

Even because I was poor and lived in a simple rental house, my wife did not complain against me, but comforted me and always told me that everything would be fine.

But such an understanding woman who is willing to accompany me to endure hardships, I can't imagine that I would carry me and other men behind my back......

Whether in the eyes of outsiders or in my eyes, my wife has always been a virtuous housekeeper and a strong woman with a successful career.

As a woman, the wife is undoubtedly successful, has a family, children, and a career.

As a man, I was undoubtedly a failure.

Not long ago, my wife and I were named a model couple by the community.

Now it seems that this is a joke!

I tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep, so I just got up and walked.

Today's potion has been infused, and there is no need to drag a bottle to move around.

There was no one in the aisle outside.

Walking in it, the quiet environment seems a little eerie.

I couldn't help but sneeze, and the sound of sneezing immediately echoed in the hallway.

"Eh, who is that? Why don't you sleep at night?"

Hearing this, I was shocked, turned my head and smirked.

"Is that you, get up and go to the bathroom?"

I nodded along the way, it turned out to be the beautiful nurse who changed the potion for me during the day, and it seems that she is on duty tonight.

The beautiful nurse walked towards me with her waist twisted.

"Isn't there a separate toilet in the ward? ”

I laughed awkwardly, I don't know how to explain, I actually can't sleep and want to go out for a walk.

"Can't you sleep?"

Huh? Can read minds?

"I, I really can't sleep, I pick the bed. ”

"Many patients can't sleep on the first day they come, it's normal, so let's walk in the corridor, but don't make noise and affect other people's sleep. ”

I nodded again and again, anyway, I was bored, I didn't want to think about those bad things, it was better to chat with the beautiful nurse and pass the time.

"Sister nurse, what's your name?"

The beautiful nurse pointed to the nameplate on her chest: "Lu Yinyin." ”

"Lu Yinyin, this name is good, it is a beautiful girl's name when you hear it. ”

Lu Yinyin was amused by me and came out of the dispensing room and took off her mask.

Only then did I see her appearance clearly, she looked like a pure female college student, looking like an intern who had just graduated.

"Sister Yinyin, why are you studying medicine?"

"My family is often sick, so I study medicine so that I can deal with some minor problems by myself without having to go to the hospital and spend money. ”

"Oh~ I didn't see it, you're still a good girl who is diligent and thrifty, are you talking to someone?"

Lu Yinyin raised her eyes and looked at me: "Uncle, you don't want to tease me, do you?"

I?

Am I that kind of person?
