Chapter 4 Human Warmth
It was my mother who came to open the door, she was still holding a mop in her hand, at this time my aunt Zhang Yun'e was sitting on the sofa while watching TV while eating melon seeds, looking at my mother was sweaty and tired, I felt very uncomfortable, although my mother often lived in my aunt's house, but after all, she was a guest, how could there be a reason to let guests do housework? Not to mention looking at this posture, it seems to be commonplace, to put it mildly, purely regard my mother as a nanny.
I have been busy earning money to pay off my debts, and I haven't come once in a few months, but I call every once in a while to ask about my mother's situation, and she has always said that it is fine, and my aunt and uncle also take care of her, but now it seems that it is not like that at all.
"Mom, take a break. I quickly took the mop.
Obviously, my mother was very happy to see me and Li Xiaolu coming over, with a smile on her face that couldn't be hidden, and the topic she asked me the most was what was the relationship with Li Xiaolu, for fear that with my career to zero, Li Xiaolu would also leave, and it would become a laughing stock in the eyes of outsiders.
"Auntie, this is for you. I kept my face calm and put the fruit and cigarettes on the coffee table.
"Thanks, Xiaolu is here too. The aunt smiled, and Li Xiaolu shouted, which was quite polite.
"I want to remind you that my mother is a guest with you, not a servant, so there is no need to call her. I said coldly.
My aunt was obviously stunned for a moment, my mother was talking to Li Xiaolu, so she hurriedly walked over and said in a low voice, "How did you talk to your aunt?"
"Oh, Jianhui, you're mistaken, it's not me calling your mother, it's that she can't be idle, she takes the initiative to take care of a bunch of housework, I also want to do it myself, and I can lose weight!" she said in a weird manner.
"Heh, is it interesting, to say such disgusting things?" I smiled coldly.
"Jianhui, how can you talk to my elder, yes, your mother did help work here, but in the past two years, she has not asked for a penny for food, and she has been given a place to stay, if you are not grateful, forget it, what do you mean by saying these words?"
"Hehe, you have to give money to the nanny, what's more, when my career was booming in the past, you bought this house, I took 200,000, Xiaokun bought a car, I gave another 50,000, and I borrowed 500,000 from your family, and repaid 400,000, I have already said a write-off, and I still say outside all day long, I still owe your family 100,000, are there relatives and elders like you?"
"Xiaohui, don't say a word!" my mother tugged at my arm and scolded.
"Mom, I don't know how much you have been wronged, but I saw it, you must not pretend to be deaf and dumb, it's okay, let's not live here and get angry, Xiaolu, you go and help our mother pack up her things and move back." I commanded.
Li Xiaolu was slightly stunned, frowned, and did not act, in fact, I noticed that my mother had a bad stomach, so I planned to let her move back to live, but our house is two bedrooms and one bathroom, she didn't want to share a bathroom with my mother, and she didn't want my mother to live in the baby room, so this matter was put on hold, but when I came to my aunt's house today, I found that the situation was not at all as my mother said, and I couldn't bear it.
"What are you doing?" I wasn't very happy.
Li Xiaolu glanced at me and pulled me out the door.
"Husband, don't be impulsive, this time is different from the past, I can understand your feelings, but you don't need to be so angry, your mother moved to us, not necessarily comfortable, you can still chat with your aunt and uncle here, peers also have topics, and next year the baby is born, the baby room will come in handy, so where does your mother have a place to live, isn't it? Li Xiaolu lowered her voice and paused, "People have to bow their heads under the eaves, you should understand this truth, husband." ”
I was already irritable, and when I heard her say this, I was even more annoyed, what was wrong with my mother? Is she disgusted with it? She didn't know at all, if it wasn't for a temporary phone call from my mother yesterday afternoon, maybe now Lai Yumin would have been in a different place, and she would never have ended well, it was my mother who saved three families and prevented me from causing a big disaster.
"Hehe, you don't have to worry about it, it's a big deal that I took my mother out to rent a house, how comfortable you are to live by yourself, and you can..."
It was his uncle Zhou Daqiang, who was carrying a bag of vegetables in his hand, and said in surprise, "Xiaohui and Xiaolu are here." ”
"Uncle. Li Xiaolu shouted, and I reacted, I almost said that I missed my mouth just now, but I didn't think much about Li Xiaolu's appearance, otherwise it would be bad.
I also shouted, Compared with the bitter aunt, I am still closer to my uncle, when I was in school before, he always brought me food, although it was only by the way of his family Zhou Peng.
But my aunt showed me a look, there is another reason, Zhou Peng just graduated a few years, he has not found a suitable job, and then I asked someone to find a relationship, arranged a good job, slowly promoted in the past few years, to the position of department head, as a result, my business went bankrupt, people did not give face, after the infighting fired him, Zhou Peng can only go to the field to join friends, not only earn less, can only return home once a long time.
My aunt has complained for a long time, but I didn't have a chance to see me, so I can only toss my mother in another way, so I think about it, I am relieved, as the so-called people are good and bullied, when the scenery is infinite, some people say that it is fragrant when you fart, and when you are down, no matter how good you do, you will be picked in the eggs, isn't this the truth?
The uncle smiled kindly and said enthusiastically, "Why are you standing outside, go in and sit down." ”
After entering the house, I heard my aunt complaining to my mother, saying that it was not easy for her, and my mother explained that my life has not been satisfactory recently, and I should not talk back to her and not take it to heart.
My uncle was a smart man, and he quickly figured out the general situation, and said reproachfully.
"Hey, Jianhui finally came once, can't you be polite? If it wasn't for Jianhui's help, our family would not be where it is today. ”
"Hmph, I'm already very polite, it's him who shouted when he came in, no big or small. My aunt said disapprehantly, although she was not so hard, but her eyes were still contemptuous when she looked at me.
"It's okay, don't worry about this, I'm here to pick up my mom today. I shrugged.
"What, you've earned money?" said the aunt's tone changed slightly.
"What kind of money do you make, aunt, don't be like him, he's just hard-mouthed. Li Xiaolu didn't unite with me, and she still glanced at me as she spoke.
"Ge Jianhui, don't play with a child's temper, you need to earn money to pay off your debts at the moment, if you rent a house for your mother, it will inevitably be another expense, not to mention, there is no one to accompany her. ”
