Chapter Twenty-Nine: Scare the Uncle Away
"You go and sleep for a while, and I'll call you when dinner is ready." ”
drove Zhang Meng to rest, but Xu Yi shrank up on the sofa.
"In the blink of an eye, it's been so long. ”
Cover your eyes with your hands, and let yourself reminisce about the past.
……
……
Xu Yi and Zhang Meng were both homeless people.
After the college entrance examination ended, Zhang Meng's parents suffered an accident, and after they were both killed, just like Zhang Meng said, those relatives who were smiling and amiable on weekdays all changed their appearance in the face of large amounts of compensation, and even Zhang Meng's grandparents were involved.
Zhang Meng, a student who had just taken the college entrance examination, was at a loss and unable to cope with his relatives who should have been close relatives but hurt him.
At that time, Zhang Meng was already an adult, and he had just turned 18 years old and took his ID card, so he didn't need to transfer his guardian, otherwise, the house left behind by his parents after leaving was likely to be snatched away by those relatives with the right of guardianship.
Before Zhang Meng started school, this time could be regarded as leaving a curtain, and the compensation was four points, Zhang Meng's grandparents, uncles and aunts got three copies, and Zhang Meng only had one.
A young boy who suffered the sudden death of his parents, his aunts and uncles who suddenly changed their faces, and even the grandparents he always thought were kind.
At that time, the world was twisted in his eyes.
At the beginning of his freshman year, Zhang Meng didn't like to talk at that time, and in the boss's first impression, they thought that Zhang Meng, who had just entered the school, was a person with a gloomy personality.
As for why it turned into the current appearance of a proud and foodie, that's another story.
Much like Zhang Meng's experience, when his adoptive parents died, he was only 16 years old, and he was in the first and second years of high school.
The grandparents who didn't like him very much, only said a word on weekdays because of the affection of their adoptive father and adoptive mother, and after their adoptive parents died in a car accident, their attitude towards Xu Yi was even more indifferent.
During that period of time, Xu Yi almost dropped out of school, and the reason why Xu Yi was able to enroll in the end was because of the village secretary's sympathy for Xu Yi and won him the autonomy to finish high school.
At the beginning of the second year of high school, Xu Yi could only live in the school.
Because the house was taken away by the grandparents, they only gave Xu Yi two years of high school tuition on the grounds that Xu Yi was not the biological child of the adoptive parents.
After being admitted to the university, Secretary Chen, who sympathized with him, introduced Xu Yi to a place where he could work in the summer to earn the cost of the first year of college.
Thanks to the kind secretary, Xu Yi carried the photo of his adoptive parents and embarked on the journey to work, and never went back to that place.
College days.
For four years, they were in the same dormitory, Xu Yi and Zhang Meng often worked together, so their grades were not up or down, and they were able to graduate smoothly, thanks to the eldest and third in the dormitory.
After graduation, Xu Yi applied for the first job, but because of a colleague's stab in the back, he had to leave that company.
After that, Xu Yi looked for a few short-term jobs, and he inquired in many ways and chose the team of Xu Foreman, this job is relatively long, and some people are tired, but the reliable foreman and the workers who get along well are Xu Yi's most satisfied.
After graduating, Zhang Meng applied for a job in a company and worked in it for a year without moving.
……
Tonight, because the mood was not very good, Xu Yi made a few more dishes.
"I've let go of the past. ”
Eating quicksand and small red bricks, Zhang Meng woke up and talked about what happened today.
"Didn't you say that you have nothing to do with them, why did you come to you again?"
was busy with the affairs of the store, Xu Yi didn't know that Zhang Meng's relatives were here.
"A few days ago, they called me and told me that my family's hometown had been demolished. ”
"They wanted the demolition money, and in the afternoon, the uncle came over and asked me to sign the demolition consent and transfer form. ”
"Is there something wrong with them?"
Xu Yi was furious.
He is not the biological child of his adoptive parents, so when his grandparents did that, Xu Yi didn't have too much resentment, after all, those belongings didn't belong to him in the first place.
But Zhang Meng was born to his parents, and the compensation money was taken away, but the real estate was worked hard by his parents, and Zhang Meng was an only child, so those properties should have belonged to him. Now the house is going to be demolished, and they want to take the demolition money.
"Why are they so big-faced, you won't agree, will you?"
Xu Yi asked, thinking that Mengzi shouldn't be so stupid.
"No, they were sprinkling around all afternoon. ”
Zhang Meng is not easy to mess with now, and he and the uncle directly tore his face.
Without Zhang Meng's consent, as an adult with legal rights, as long as Zhang Meng resolutely refuses to give, even his grandparents and uncles will not be able to get the demolition money.
"That's fine, if they come again, I'll be your bodyguard to scare them, and the clerks can come and scare people. ”
Xu Yi, who is tall and strong, feels that he is wearing a black suit and should be bluffed.
"Then trouble the tall and mighty Xu bodyguards, if they still come to disturb me, please come out. ”
Zhang Meng smiled dumbly, his depressed mood suddenly improved a lot, and he felt that the luckiest thing in his life was to meet Xu Yi, a brother. Since college, they have been helping each other, and after graduation, the two have also shared a house to reduce the pressure of rent.
For so many years, he has already regarded Xu Yi as his relative.
"You kid, do you still know how to tease me?"
A strong King Kong palm slapped Zhang Meng's shoulder, with Xu Yi's current strength, it was a crackling sound.
"Ahem!"
The palm power was too strong, Zhang Meng was speechless when he was patted, and he only felt that his shoulder was like a heavy hammer.
"Stop, stop! If you keep shooting, I'll take the dog." ”
"Look at you, come on, I'll put two stitches on you. ”
The two laughed and scolded each other, and they no longer thought about the past, just let the past really pass.
Say the other side.
Uncle is unwilling to get the money, but no matter what kind of nonsense they are messing around, Zhang Meng is unmoved with a cold face, from entering the university to get along with his brothers, leaving the campus and entering the company, after stepping into the society, he is no longer the weak teenager he once was.
Today, Zhang Meng is a big boss with more than a dozen employees who manages a store. Family affection, when parents die and relatives are forced to deal with each other, is already gone.
On this day, Zhang Meng's uncle came to the door with his grandparents.
"Zhang Meng, you are so unfilial, you don't even care about your grandparents?"
The uncle's greedy face is so ugly, and the two old men around him are also helping to abuse.
"What do you have worthy of my filial piety, my parents are long gone. ”
Zhang Meng felt that the uncle's face was really ridiculous, even the law did not stipulate that others should be filial to non-parents.
"You! You're not filial! If your dad was still around, it wouldn't be like this!"
Zhang Meng's grandfather was on crutches, blowing his beard and glaring.
"Xiao Meng, your parents left early, and we were also sad at that time......"
Grandma pretended to wipe the corners of her eyes to persuade and tried to use Zhang Meng's parents to play the emotional card.
"My parents left early, so you also want to send me to accompany them?" interrupted grandma's words with a cold face, Zhang Meng didn't want to hear them mention his parents.
Because they don't deserve it!
"Xiao Meng, how can you think so?!"
Grandma still wanted to say something, but Zhang Meng didn't want to listen anymore, and threw the glass on the table to the ground with a wave of his hand.
"Boss!"
"Boss!"
Xu Yi took the lead, wearing a black suit and sunglasses, looking like a bodyguard, and his momentum was very violent, which scared the uncle and them for a moment.
Followed by the employees in the store, all wearing black suits and sunglasses, stood behind Zhang Meng with Xu Yi, looking at the opposite side menacingly.
A group of people stood behind him like a bodyguard, making Zhang Meng like a successful person with an aura of two meters eight, especially like the kind of big boss who would bankrupt if he didn't agree with him.
Uncle ran away with two old men with urine, he didn't expect Zhang Meng to become a big boss after not seeing him for many years, and there were so many bodyguards, otherwise, he wouldn't have made trouble unreasonably and had to ask for demolition money.
In the final analysis, people like him are bullying the weak and afraid of the hard.
in the living room.
"Poof!"
Seeing that people were so scared away, Xiao Deng couldn't help laughing out loud at first.
"Hahaha!"
"Hahahaha!"
The other clerks, both in the front hall and in the back kitchen, couldn't hold back their laughter.
"Seriously, they are all 'bodyguards', so hold on. Xu Yi said with a smile.
"Poof, big boss, I, hahaha...... I really can't help it. ”
Xiao Deng rubbed his painful belly with laughter, and laughed a lot, this melon baby has always had a low laugh, and he can laugh for a long time when he tells a cold joke.
"If you keep laughing, you have to be careful that our boss Zhang deducts his salary. ”
"Since Boss Xu has spoken, it will be all deducted. ”
Zhang Meng took the joke and pretended to deduct two cents a day.
"Boss don't wow!"
Xiao Deng, who loves to make trouble, shouted loudly, and Xiao Zhuo and the others also shouted and played, surrounding Zhang Meng and Xu Yi saying that they had worked hard and did not deduct money.
Zhang Meng was so troubled that he couldn't do anything, and he was in a good mood to scare away the uncle, not only did he not deduct it, but he also increased the wages of all the employees in the store.
————————
"Dad. ”
"Mom. ”
A small figure, walking in the open field, crying for Mom and Dad.
In the wilderness of no one, the little short legs of the child have walked for a long, long time, and the road ahead seems to never see the end.
The whole earth, empty, only that small figure, a lonely existence.
"Wow, Mom, Dad, I'm so hungry!"
Crying out loud, the child didn't understand, why was his mom and dad gone, and why was he here?
Fear, fear, hunger, and coldness, ominous shadows to swallow him up and plunge him into endless darkness.
"Gee, how come there's a kid here?"
The sound illuminated the space, and the toddler was gently picked up by the owner of the voice. The soft gibberish soothed his restless mind.
Warm embrace, hot food, so that this toddler is no longer cold and hungry.
……
In the dark, Xu Yimeng opened his eyes, did not turn on the night light at the head of the bed, and did not close his eyes until his eyes were sore.
For a long time, in the silent room, a sigh echoed.
