There was silence again.

After a while, the eldest aunt Zhao Chunjuan asked in a weak voice: "Dad, how much does it cost to repair this house?" Do you know that Yuzhong has not had any harvest after spring sowing, and it is not easy for Gang'er to work outside to make money, he is not young and has to save money to marry his daughter-in-law, Shu'er is in the third year of high school this year, and it is a big expense to go to college immediately, and I haven't done anything, I ...... This is ...... at hand" Zhao Chunjuan's voice became lower the more she spoke, and the words behind her could hardly be heard clearly.

"That's right, Dad, you can't just listen to a child's nonsense and just agree. Money doesn't fall from the world, and it's not easy for my family to work, and I have to support my son and daughter, and I don't have any spare money!" Lin Jiaojiao immediately took over the conversation.

"Yes, Qiaoqiao, or don't be in a hurry to pretend ......"

"That's right, wait until next year Uncle has spare money on hand......"

“……”

It's just for money. Cheng Qiao lowered his head, feeling a little sad in his heart.

Old Man Cheng looked at his granddaughter's appearance, frowned, and slammed the crutches in his hand to the ground, making a thud. "Shut up for me! That house was originally reserved for Qiaoqiao, she likes to pretend or not, what are you talking about, did she say let you pay?"

The uncle, aunt, and third uncle listened to their father's words, and their faces immediately turned red with shame. Cheng Gang, Cheng Yuan, and several of their juniors didn't dare to speak, lowering their heads and pretending to be transparent people on the background board. Only Lin Jiaojiao immediately exploded when she heard the old man's words: "Dad, you can't be so eccentric, right! The old mansion should have a share in every family, why is it now that this little girl is alone?"

The old man glanced at Lin Jiaojiao with a smile, raised his crutches and pointed at her and asked, "Are you really stupid or pretending to be confused, do you have to make my words clear?" When the village raised funds to build a new house, I asked you to pay for it, and you all shouted that you had no money, who gave the money at that time, have you forgotten?"

He paused, and his voice unconsciously raised a few points: "It's Qiaoqiao! She took out the alimony that her mother had sent her over the years to build a new house for our family." What did you say when you asked her to pay at that time? The family who didn't pay the money took the old mansion's share to pay, and the IOU in black and white was still in the cabinet in my room, why did you get carried away and didn't want to admit it now that you were living comfortably?" The more the old man interceded, the more excited he became, and his chest shook violently.

"Grandpa, don't be angry. Cheng Qiao hurriedly got up and walked behind the old man, patted his back with one hand, and stroked his chest with the other, comforting.

Old Man Cheng took a few breaths, grabbed his granddaughter's hand, his face changed, and his voice became desolate: "The second child is gone, no one from outsiders has gone to tea and cool, but our own family is bullying his only daughter at home, what is the matter!"

The two brothers of the Cheng family suddenly turned red.

Cheng Yuzhi glared at his daughter-in-law and motioned for her to quickly admit her mistake to her father. Who would have thought that Lin Jiaojiao would be unhappy with the old man today: "Dad, you can't say that! You said that she is a girl's family, and she will never marry into someone else's family in the future, what do you want that house for?"

Old Man Cheng closed his eyes and snorted: "I'll leave that old mansion to Cheng Qiao as a dowry, what's wrong?"

Lin Jiaojiao was unwilling to speak again, but she was immediately yelled at by her husband: "You shut up for me!" and then bit her lip and reluctantly turned her head.

Cheng Yuzhi hurriedly wiped his stupid daughter-in-law's buttocks, and said in a remedial voice: "Dad can leave the house to whoever he wants." We have no opinion. ”

Cheng Yuzhong also hurriedly said: "Our family has no opinion. ”

The old man's face softened a little, and he turned his head to his granddaughter and said, "Qiaoqiao, just do what you think." ”

Cheng Qiao lowered his eyes and whispered, "Thank you, grandpa." ”

Lin Jiaojiao returned to the room, she was holding her breath and lying down or sitting, and she was even more unhappy when she saw her husband lying on the bed and taking a nap. She sat on the edge of the bed, and shouted at Cheng Yuzhi in a sharp voice: "You say what happened to Dad, you know that you are used to Cheng Qiao's girl, and she will give it to the big old house!"

Cheng Yu woke up his wife before he fell asleep, and he was not in a very happy mood at the lunch table, and he had to listen to her complain at this time, so he said angrily: "Dad is right, the floor we live on now is indeed a coincidental money, but at that time, you ran to tell Dad that you can't come up with the money to come to the old house, as long as the new house gives us a floor to live in, you have amnesia after only a few years of hard work?"

"You!" Lin Jiaojiao just wanted to find someone to complain and vent her dissatisfaction in her heart, but she didn't expect her husband to speak out to defend Cheng Qiao, and suddenly the fire in her heart burned even more, and she raised her hand and slapped Cheng Yuzhi's arm hard, "Okay, you are all facing her." I don't want to think that the girl's family will always marry in the future, such a big house will become someone else's!"

"How do you beat people?" Cheng Yuzhi was a little upset by her, sat up and yelled at her, "What's wrong with getting married? Don't you also marry our family with the dowry of three acres of land, and the annual rent of those three acres of land will fall into your private house, and our Cheng family doesn't want a penny!"

Lin Jiaojiao was so choked by him that she couldn't speak, her body trembled, and tears fell down: "Okay, if you know Cheng Yu, you know how to bully me! I won't have anything to do with you!" After speaking, he opened the cabinet and took out a canvas bag and stuffed clothes into it.

Cheng Yu knew that she had been married for many years and still didn't know her virtue of crying, making trouble and hanging herself, so she simply lay back on the bed, closed her eyes and said: "Hey, I don't think you're happy staying at home, it's better to go back to your parents' house for a while to relax." ”

Lin Jiaojiao's hand holding her clothes paused, where did she want to go, but she just wanted to find a step down, and wait for Cheng Yuzhi to take the initiative to keep her. What I didn't expect was that the other party didn't act according to her script at all, and she was a little dumbfounded, and she couldn't pull down her face for a while, so she could only cry more to hide the embarrassment on her face. While crying, he shouted angrily, "Okay! I'll go." Cheng Yuzhi, don't regret it!"

Seeing that the person lying on the bed didn't respond for a long time, she wiped her eyes and ran out of the door with a canvas bag.

Cheng Qiao didn't know what happened to the little uncle's family downstairs, she was nesting in the room, burying her head in front of the computer to draw pictures. Renovating her old house is not an easy task, and she still has a lot to prepare.

"Wow!Wow!" the golden retriever barked at her twice, interrupting her thoughts. Cheng Qiao turned his head and found that his eldest aunt Zhao Chunjuan was standing outside his door and hesitated.

She immediately got up and walked to the door, took Zhao Chunjuan's arm and said with a smile: "What is the eldest aunt doing standing outside? ”

Zhao Chunjuan was more and more embarrassed by Cheng Qiao's enthusiasm, and hurriedly said: "Qiaoqiao, the eldest aunt at the dinner table today is confused, don't take it to heart." As she spoke, she took out a silver/line/card from her pocket and stuffed it into her hand, "I have discussed with your uncle, decoration always costs money, although there is not much money in it, but it is all I have saved in the past few years, you can use it first." ”

Cheng Qiao was stunned for a moment, and then stretched out his hand to refuse: "Auntie, let him pass the past." You take back this money, I know that you have been working tirelessly at home to take care of your grandfather for so many years, how can I ask for your money? I still have some money in my hand, and I estimate that it should be enough for decoration. ”

"This ...... This ......" Seeing her niece stuff the silver/line/card back into her pocket, Zhao Chunjuan was stunned and didn't know how to pick up the stubble.

Cheng Qiao hugged her, opened his mouth to relieve her, and said jokingly: "Auntie, there are a lot of decoration matters, and maybe I will have to trouble you and my uncle later." Don't bother me then!"

Zhao Chunjuan laughed at this time, patted her chest and said: "How can it! If you have something to do with me and your uncle, it must be no problem if you can't do fine work!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, sweeping away the estrangement caused by the previous unpleasantness.
