Chapter 45: Relatives of the Forces
"Yo, isn't this Shaokai? Why are you here too? A woman said as she walked towards Hong Shaokai, followed by several women and a bunch of young men and women
Hong Shaokai turned around and looked, it turned out to be his fourth aunt, his father's sister Hong Xiumei, the young men and women behind him were his son and daughter-in-law, and the other women should be her friends. From her tone, Hong Shaokai could see that this fourth aunt looked down on him very much.
However, Hong Shaokai still replied very politely, after all, he was his elder. But he just said lightly: "Fourth aunt, you are also here, one of my classmates invited me to dinner, so I came." ”
"I guess so, otherwise you would still be able to come here to eat like you. You kid, I heard that you've been missing for a while, when did you come back, did you hide from your debts?" Hong Xiumei said with a disgusted face
"No, I went out to work for a while, and I came back just after a break. Hong Shaokai still said very politely, although he was very unhappy, but it is understandable that his aunt would think so, after all, Hong's father had asked her to borrow money before, but she shirked for various reasons and didn't borrow a penny, so Hong Shaokai gave his father 200,000 yuan to pay off the debt, and he had paid off the debt, but he didn't owe her money, although she didn't know, in her heart, she should still think that Hong Shaokai was borrowed by a loan shark to hide outside.
"Shaokai, don't be so face-saving, who doesn't know about you, all your relatives know that your family is already poor, and now you are so unlucky, you are being collected by loan sharks all day long, and you have suffered my uncle. The young man said in a deep voice. This young man is Hong Shaokai's cousin is Hong Qiumei's son Chen Baolin, three years younger than him, but he is already married and married a very beautiful girl, but he is still very arrogant, and even his cousin is not called by name.
And the woman, who was Chen Baolin's wife, also looked at him with disdain.
At this time, Hong Shaokai was not happy, he didn't owe them a family favor, and he was still a relative, so he was looked down upon by them, and just as he was about to speak, a woman preemptively said: Xiumei, this boy is a relative of your family?
"Yes, it's my brother's unsuccessful son, but our family doesn't have much contact with them now, and there is nothing else good to do except borrow money from our family, so we plan to break it off. Hong Xiumei said arrogantly
"Yes, it's better not to have such a relative, you are blessed now, your son has a family, and now he is still working in a large company, with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands, and he has just graduated for two years and bought a car and a house, which is really angry" Another woman next to her also said with a jealous face.
"Yes, Xiumei, Baolin seems to be a leader now, my son is about to graduate, when the time comes, help see if I can let my son go to work in his company too?" said another woman to Hong Xiumei flatteringly
"Okay, my son is working in a large group now, this little thing is no problem, son?" Hong Xiumei asked Chen Baolin
At this time, Chen Baolin shrugged his shoulders and stood up with a proud face and said: "I am now working in the Li Group, no, I was promoted to the director of the company in just two years, with an annual salary of 600,000 yuan, so I just bought a house in the city with a mortgage." ”
In their small city, there are 600,000 people with high salaries a year, and they can still buy a house, and they can have a successful career, so they will naturally show off.
"It's so powerful, I've only been a leader for two years, and I must let my son study hard with you in the future, otherwise I will be hidden outside by loan sharks like some relatives and dare not go home." The woman glanced at Hong Shaokai and said
"It's okay, this requires its own efforts, but it also requires human sophistication, and we have to communicate with them more or less with the leaders above, and we usually move around a lot. Chen Baolin said, although he said it very tactfully, but he understood that he needed to give gifts and so on, and said that this was also knocking on the side of the woman, and his son would have to study hard with him in the future.
At this time, Chen Zhijian walked out, and when he saw Hong Shaokai, he hurriedly walked and said: "Shaokai, why are you still at the door, I thought you couldn't find a place, let's go in, everyone is waiting for you" pulled Hong Shaokai and wanted to go inside.
"Young man, you invited Shaokai to dinner," Seeing that they were about to go in, Hong Xiumei hurriedly spoke
"Yes, who are you, this aunt?" asked Chen Zhijian with some confusion
"You don't need to ask who I am, but I can tell you in advance, this Shaokai owes a lot of money and is being chased by loan sharks, so you can't lend him money. Hong Xiumei looked like an elder advising a younger generation at this time
Chen Zhijian looked at Hong Shaokai a little puzzled, his face twitched slightly, but he still said thank you, and then pulled Hong Shaokai and walked in.
However, at this time, Hong Shaokai was extremely dissatisfied, how could there be such relatives, there had never been such a person, if he didn't help, he would fall into the ground. I was so angry that I gritted my teeth and thought about it, and I wanted to slap such a relative to death.
"Who are they, how can they say this about you?" At this time, Chen Zhijian asked Hong Shaokai
"It's my aunt and my cousin, and my father used to ask them to borrow money, but she didn't borrow either. Hong Shaokai said with black lines on his face. Because this fourth aunt said this, this made him feel a little unable to raise his head in front of Chen Zhijian.
"How can you have such a strange relative, if your relatives don't help, even if you don't help, you will run in front of outsiders, won't she feel ashamed like this?" Chen Zhijian also said a little unhappily at this time, on the one hand, it may also be to comfort Hong Shaokai.
"Well, let's just not have such relatives. Hong Shaokai said with a sigh
Then the two of them went into the box, and there were seven or eight people in the box, all of whom were former classmates, and then they began to eat and chat, most of these classmates were relatively friendly, but there were also a few who were powerful. But soon, after eating, I drank some wine and then it was over.
