Chapter 209: Hometown
"By the way, my elder brother went back to the village some time ago, do you know about this?" asked Zheng Fangyi.
Qin Mutong was a little surprised: "I really don't know about this." Since my grandmother and I returned to the county seat, I know almost nothing about the affairs in the village. ”
Now, after all, communication is inconvenient, unlike in the following ten years and decades, no matter how far apart the two people are, they can understand each other's situation clearly with a phone call.
There are only a few people in the village who have installed telephones.
Besides, the phone bill is quite expensive right now. The Qin family doesn't have any special friends in the village, so naturally they won't call back to the village from time to time to ask about the situation or something.
Zheng Fangyi also guessed that Qin Mutong definitely didn't know.
If he could, he didn't actually want to bring the embarrassing things of the Zheng family to Qin Mutong to talk about.
But no matter how much he doesn't want to have anything to do with the Zheng family, he is also a real Zheng family, and it is impossible to be too clear with the Zheng family in this life.
So, how the Zheng family usually lives, it has nothing to do with him. But once something really big happens, then he has to at least understand the situation clearly.
Otherwise, if he accidentally gets involved in those things of the Zheng family, then is he wronged or not?
"My lobby brother, everything is good, it's just a good face!" Zheng Fangyi said helplessly, "The face is in his place, it's even bigger than the sky! Especially in the rules of filial piety, he can't wait to be 12% good, for fear that others will find something wrong with him. ”
Therefore, Zheng Jianguo's tolerance for his family is very high.
As long as the family is in need, he will definitely be the first to rush forward to contribute money and efforts.
It seems that if he doesn't do this, he won't be able to show his ability, and he won't be able to show his identity as the eldest in the family.
But often because of this, sometimes, Zheng Jianguo obviously spent a lot of effort and filled in everything, but people still didn't appreciate his affection, thinking that he was hiding it, and he definitely didn't take out all the things.
This is the case with the Zheng family now.
They not only want to get benefits from Zheng Jianguo, but they always feel that Zheng Jianguo has not given them enough benefits, and they feel that Zheng Jianguo definitely doesn't really regard them as a family.
Qin Mutong and Zheng Jianguo didn't have much contact, but they also more or less figured out some of Zheng Jianguo's temper.
I have to say that a person with a character like Zheng Jianguo is really tired of living.
He wants people to say a good word about him everywhere, so how can he do it?
In the end, he just wronged his wife and children.
"After I called you before, did you immediately deliver the letter to your lobby brother?" Qin Mutong asked.
"Yes!" Zheng Fangyi nodded, "When my lobby brother came back before, he left a phone call for me. I'm afraid he also knows what kind of virtue my uncle's family is, and he's afraid that I'll be bullied again, and then he will give me a place to cry out. ”
Qin Mutong: "......"
I have to say that as an outsider, there is really nothing to blame for Zheng Jianguo.
"My lobby brother doesn't seem to want to go back this time, there should be something going ......on at his house," Zheng Fangyi said, "I heard him arguing with his daughter-in-law on the phone, as if he was talking about how old and troublesome things were going on in his hometown......"
There's no way, such a big thing happened at home, if Zheng Jianguo didn't know, it would be fine, but since he knows, he is a filial son, how can he still sit in the provincial capital?
It is understandable that his daughter-in-law is becoming more and more dissatisfied with the people in her hometown in the countryside because of this.
"Then what about your lobby brother after he goes back?" Qin Mutong asked, "He helped Zheng Jianqing pay off his gambling debts again?"
I am afraid that the gambling debts last time have hollowed out a lot of Zheng Jianguo's family funds, and this time Zheng Jianqing owes more gambling debts, and I don't know if Zheng Jianguo can collect them.
Zheng Fangyi sold Guan Zi at this time: "After I told my cousin about the smashing of my hometown, I also called Ying Ang and asked him to find Chen Ming and bring a letter to Zheng Jianqing." ”
Chen Ming left the village relatively early, and when the Zheng family had an accident, he had already gone to the city to work.
If it hadn't been for Ying Ang's inform, Chen Ming would not have known about the affairs in the village.
And Zheng Jianqing was also thrown into the construction site after being brought into the city by Zheng Fangyi.
There is a lot of work on the construction site, and I am not afraid that Zheng Jianqing will be idle.
It's just that the work on this construction site is generally hard, Zheng Jianqing hasn't suffered much since he was a child, but he suffered a lot of sins this time.
Originally, he wanted to follow Zheng Fangyi to do some light work, but how could Zheng Fangyi be willing?
Fortunately, Chen Ming is an acquaintance with him, otherwise, Zheng Jianqing will not stay for a day on the construction site!
Thanks to Chen Ming's tight mouth, and he really didn't know much about Zheng Fangyi's affairs, so no matter how Zheng Jianqing inquired, Chen Ming couldn't say anything, and in the end, Zheng Jianqing had to stop and work honestly.
When Ying Ang asked Chen Ming to bring a letter to Zheng Jianqing, Zheng Jianqing was almost not happy!
His wife's pregnancy is too timely!
Zheng Jianqing immediately proposed to go home, he didn't want to stay in a ghost place like the construction site for a minute!
The joy of being able to leave the construction site even made him forget the fear of being collected for his debts.
In the end, Chen Ming cautiously reminded him, which made his excitement a lot less.
But this letter has already been passed on, and Zheng Jianqing really can't bear the work on the construction site, where can he stay at ease?
So, within two days of getting the letter, Zheng Jianqing quietly found the foreman, wanting to settle the salary with others and leave.
From beginning to end, Zheng Jianqing worked on the construction site for more than ten days, and there were still many times when he was lazy and slippery. If this is changed to another place, how can the foreman pay him for his salary, and he is already kind if he is not driven away!
However, Zheng Fangyi had already guessed that Zheng Jianqing would not be able to endure the hardships on the construction site, so he quietly asked Ying Ang to say hello early in the morning. If Zheng Jianqing really can't stay and wants to leave, he can calculate his salary as he wants, and he doesn't have to give him preferential treatment, but he doesn't have to deliberately deduct him.
Therefore, in the end, when Zheng Jianqing left, he still got a salary, but it was a little lower than other people's salaries.
But Zheng Jianqing doesn't care about this at all.
As long as he can leave the construction site, let alone deduct some of his salary, even if he deducts more than half, he is also willing!
