Chapter Forty-Eight: Man Depends on His Clothing
Qiao Na reluctantly turned her head and walked away, Zhang Zhening was reluctant to step into the door of this family, but she was still dragged in by her mother.
"Dad, are you feeling better, I brought some souvenirs from my hometown, they are all your favorite food......
In the middle of my mother's words, my grandfather rudely interrupted, "I don't need these things, keep them for you to eat, let me ask you, what are you doing when you go back to the countryside this time?"
Mother said, "To deal with the land in the countryside, now that we are all in the city, no one takes care of the land in the countryside, so I ......."
"Who told you to go?" Grandpa looked at his mother coldly, "Do I agree? Who allowed you to make your own decisions?"
Grandpa's words directly froze my mother in place.
Zhang Zhening on the side finally couldn't help it, from the moment they entered the house, his grandfather's family didn't greet him and his mother to sit down, and they were always standing and talking.
Now that my grandfather is speaking aggressively, Zhang Zhening couldn't help it, so he said, "Grandpa, it's not interesting for you to say this, those lands in the countryside, except for our own family, as early as a few years ago, you forcibly sold the land to us, and now what we do with our land, that is our freedom, and it has nothing to do with others!"
Zhang Zhening is telling the truth, his aunt's family has been a matter of the past two years, and he also lived in the countryside in the past.
Later, when my uncle was working in the city, he accidentally found an opportunity, but he lacked capital, so he asked my grandfather to find his mother and forcibly sold the few pieces of broken land in the countryside to his mother at a high price.
At that time, in order to buy their few pieces of broken land, my mother took out all the savings that my father had left for my mother when he left.
Therefore, those lands in the countryside have nothing to do with my grandfather's family now.
And Zhang Zhening also knows why his grandfather suddenly got those pieces of land, because there was a recent news that the state is going to build a highway, which happens to pass through his hometown, and will give compensation for land acquisition according to the land area of each family.
In this place of China, the government has never treated the people badly in terms of demolition and relocation, once this news is true, one day the government really requisitioned land and paid compensation, then Zhang Zhening's family is very likely to get rich overnight.
"Brute, is it your turn to speak here!" Grandpa blew his beard and glared at Zhang Zhening.
"I'm telling the truth, aren't you just going for the land requisition compensation, but those few pieces of land have nothing to do with you now, why did you ...... when you forcibly sold the land to our family?"
"Zhening!"
Mother angrily reprimanded Zhang Zhening, Zhang Zhening had no choice but to hold back his grievances, twist his head to the side and stop talking.
"Dad, Zhening was a little anxious to speak just now, don't be like him, but he is right, you have indeed sold those pieces of land in the countryside to my family a few years ago......"
"Presumptuous!"
Grandpa slapped the table fiercely, pointed at his mother and said angrily, "At the beginning, your brother and sister-in-law were doing business and needed money urgently, but what about you? You obviously have money in your hands, but you have to hide it, so we have to mortgage those pieces of land to you, and now we want to redeem those pieces of land, is there a problem?"
"But ......"
"No, but, the land you bought with 60,000 yuan, now we give you 70,000, you transfer the land in your name, and the land we sold to you before in the name of your brother and sister-in-law, you go back to the countryside tomorrow, if this matter is not handled well, don't enter this house in the future!"
"If you don't enter, you won't enter!"
Zhang Zhening couldn't help it, looked at his grandfather and said loudly, "When did you treat our mother and son as your own?" I'll leave the words here, we won't give the land, where you fall in love, you can make trouble wherever you want, and we will take it when you go to the court!"
As he spoke, he tugged on his mother's arm, "Mom, let's go, ignore them......"
Syllable!
Before Zhang Zhening finished speaking, his mother suddenly slapped him in the face, with tears in the corners of his eyes, and said loudly, "Shut up, how did you talk to your grandfather, don't apologize to your grandfather!"
"But mom ......" Zhang Zhening felt aggrieved in his heart, he actually didn't think that his mother was not a weak person, and he didn't want any benefits from his grandfather's family, but why did he always keep his voice low in front of his grandfather's family?
"Don't apologize to my grandfather!" the mother scolded again.
Zhang Zhening gritted his teeth, then turned his head to look at his grandfather, and said lightly, "I'm sorry......"
"Hmph, untouchables are untouchables, get out of here, go back and do what your grandfather says, otherwise, be careful that I make you look good!"
Qiao Na hurriedly added fuel and vinegar to the side, saw Zhang Zhening glaring at her angrily, and said in her voice, "Zhang Caobao, what's the matter? You still want to rebel, don't you? Do you still think that Fang Yiming will support you? Now that the Fang family has fallen, I see where you can find a backer!"
The eldest aunt next to her also followed and said, "That's it, I thought this straw bag was still somewhat useful, but now it seems that he is a broom star, whoever he touches is unlucky, I think the fall of the Fang family is his mold, hurry up, don't pestle here, bad luck!"
Zhang Zhening was so angry that he smoked, if it weren't for his mother, he would have rushed over and slapped them a few times.
When she walked to the door, Jona also threw out the bag of souvenirs in the snakeskin pocket, and said bitterly, "Take away this garbage, don't put it in our house!"
On the way back, Zhang Zhening didn't say a word, and his big molars were almost crushed.
After returning home, Zhang Zhening angrily went to take a shower and prepared to go to bed.
To be honest, at this time, he blamed his mother a little, he really couldn't figure out why his mother had to swallow her anger at his grandfather's family everywhere.
"Zhening, come here. When her mother saw Zhang Zhening's appearance, she screamed.
Zhang Zhening exhaled softly, then turned around and sat on the sofa.
"Zhening, I had to slap you today, don't blame my mother, my mother apologized to you here. Mother looked at Zhang Zhening and said sincerely.
"Mom, you don't have to apologize to me......" Zhang Zhening looked at his mother like this, and his heart softened suddenly.
Mother waved her hand lightly, sighed, and said, "I know you have never understood why I should compromise in front of my grandfather's family everywhere, and I also know that they have gone too far, but I still say that the grace of a drop of water, when the spring reciprocates, no matter what, if it wasn't for your grandfather to adopt me, I would have starved to death on the street a long time ago, just rush to this, your grandfather's kindness to me I will not be able to repay it for the rest of my life." ”
After Zhang Zhening listened, he let out a long sigh and said, "Mom, maybe you are right, your grandfather has a life-saving grace for you, and we must repay this kindness, but I myself think that everything has a bottom line, no one can be an exception, kindness is one thing, but human dignity is another." ”
After listening to Zhang Zhening's words, her mother didn't say a word, just sighed silently, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Zhang Zhening saw his mother's old and tired face, and suddenly felt distressed, and hurriedly said, "Mom, maybe I said the wrong thing just now, don't take it to heart, in short, I am always your son, I will do whatever you ask me to do, Mom, it's not early, you can rest early." ”
Mother nodded, looked at Zhang Zhening and smiled, over the years, the only thing he felt relieved was to have such a son as Zhang Zhening, Zhang Zhening and his father were simply printed in the same mold, whenever her mother saw Zhang Zhening, she couldn't help but think of the man who was enough for her to let go for the rest of her life.
The next day, when Zhang Zhening woke up, his mother had already returned to the countryside, and there was a breakfast and a few hundred yuan on the coffee table.
Over the years, Zhang Zhening has always had a knot in his heart, that is, he took his father he had never met.
's mother has always been silent about this, and she has never told Zhang Zhening any information about her father.
Zhang Zhening just remembers that when he was in junior high school, he was wronged at school, and when he came back, he cried to his mother, saying that other people's children had their father's support when something happened, but his father didn't know where it was.
At that time, Zhang Zhening also complained a few words to his father, saying that his father was a shrunken turtle with no responsibility or responsibility, and he left himself in his mother's belly and disappeared silently.
How do you know that after her mother heard this, she flashed Zhang Zhening in the face on the spot, and told Zhang Zhening in a straight way, saying that he was never allowed to speak ill of his father, and that his father was a man who stood up to the sky, and was definitely not the kind of person he imagined.
Then that night, the mother cried all night.
It was from that time on, Zhang Zhening never mentioned his father in front of his mother.
After breakfast, Zhang Zhening was about to review his homework when the phone rang suddenly, and when he saw it, it was Su Weiwei calling.
Zhang Zhening patted his head, and then remembered that he had promised Su Weiwei the day before yesterday that he would accompany her back to her hometown as her boyfriend today.
"I'm sorry, I forgot about this, where are you now, I'll come to you right away, or let's go to the station and meet." Zhang Zhening answered the phone and said a little apologetically.
Su Weiwei said on the other end of the phone, "Don't worry, I just went to the mall to pick out a set of clothes for you, I told my family that you are a rich second generation, you have to dress decently, otherwise you will be dressed, you come to my house first, change your clothes, pack up well and then go." ”
"Okay, I'll come right over. ”
Su Weiwei regained her former look, dressed up extraordinarily sexy and sultry, and after seeing Zhang Zhening, she hurriedly took out a bag of clothes and said with a smile, "You try it first to see if it fits." ”
Zhang Zhening nodded, took the clothes and went to Su Weiwei's bedroom, and after seeing the price tag on the clothes, he secretly smacked his tongue, these are all brand-name clothes, and the price of one piece is enough for his living expenses for a semester.
It is said that people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, and when Zhang Zhening, who changed into brand-name clothes, stood in front of Su Weiwei, even Su Weiwei was taken aback.
Although Zhang Zhening's facial features are not handsome, they are very coordinated, and there is a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, coupled with his straight waist and natural temperament, even if he stands in front of those stars at this time, he will definitely not lose points.
"I can't see it, you're still a handsome guy!" Su Weiwei jokingly praised Zhang Zhening.
Zhang Zhening shrugged his shoulders and said casually, "I don't think there's any difference, it's just clothes, just clean and tidy." ”
Zhang Zhening's words are not pretending, but from the heart, when a person's heart is strong to a certain level, even if it is ragged, he will not feel half embarrassed in front of everyone, the kind of person who needs to rely on bright clothes to have self-confidence is a manifestation of weakness in his heart.
