Chapter 15: A Snobbish Family
In the next few days, Zhao Tianming almost stayed at home, frantically absorbing knowledge about antiques. The knowledge of antiques is all-encompassing, which opened Zhao Tianming's eyes.
It wasn't until he called from his hometown and told him bad news that Zhao Tianming hurriedly packed up his things and rushed back to his hometown immediately.
The father at home called, Zhao Tianming's second brother had a car accident, and there was nothing wrong with him, and he suffered skin injuries. But the passenger in the back of the motorcycle was unlucky and broke one leg.
Zhao Tianming's second brother Zhao Tianhua came out to do things after graduating from high school, and later bought a second-hand motorcycle to pick up passengers in the town, and he could earn three or two thousand yuan a month.
After this incident, the family members of the passengers demanded 200,000 yuan in compensation, otherwise Zhao Tianhua would be sued and imprisoned.
200,000 is a huge amount of money for the old Zhao family. The family's savings are tens of thousands, which are intended for Zhao Tianming's brothers to marry their daughters-in-law.
It's still not enough to throw them all out! For this reason, I borrowed money from my relatives everywhere, such as uncles and uncles, and made up three to five thousand like this.
That night, Zhao Tianming returned to his hometown in western Guangdong. It was a mountainous area, a relatively poor and backward place, and the winding mountain roads made motorcycles have to be careful.
"This stupid guy, tell him not to go out that day, don't go out! The yellow calendar has indicated that it is not suitable to go out, but he doesn't believe it, is it okay?" Zhao Tianming's father, Zhao Guanghui, said with hatred and iron.
Zhao Tianming was speechless, his father was also an old superstitious, and he had to read the yellow calendar when he went out. A yellow calendar was flipped through all day long, and Zhao Tianming doubted whether he could memorize it.
Zhao Tianhua, who has always been angry with his father, did not speak out this time, looking very aggrieved.
The mother next to her did not speak, her face was full of sadness. So far, there is still a difference of 40,000 or 50,000. There are still three days left before the deadline given by others, where to find so much money?
The tens of thousands of yuan she had saved so hard evaporated overnight, and she owed a lot of debts, which made this rural woman a little confused and didn't know what to do.
"Otherwise, go to the child's aunt's house to borrow some more. Zhao Tianming's mother said.
Zhao Guanghui's face suddenly turned ugly: "What are you going to do?
Zhao Tianming's sister-in-law is the richest among many relatives. At the beginning, in order to provide for his sister-in-law to study, Zhao Tianming heard that his father had suffered a lot.
However, this time she went to borrow money, but her son was humiliated, and finally took out 2,000 yuan to send it away, and said that she didn't have to pay it back, so she should repay the kindness of the year.
Zhao Tianming has seen the snobbery of his sister-in-law's family, and when he used to visit relatives, the last thing he wanted to go to was his sister-in-law's house, and his speech was yin and yang.
On the contrary, my mother's family and my aunt's family made great efforts, and my uncle took out 50,000 yuan for emergency relief.
"What else can I do? I borrowed everything I could. You're going to send him to jail?" the mother cried.
"If you go to jail, you will go to jail! Let him grow snacks in the future, he is not born at such a big age. Zhao Guanghui scolded.
Seeing that the second brother Zhao Tianhua couldn't help but speak, Zhao Tianming pressed the guy's shoulder and patted him: "Don't talk, reflect on it! Fortunately, there was no death this time." ”
After speaking, Zhao Tianming turned to his father: "Dad, how much money is missing?"
Zhao Guanghui liquidated: "Your uncle borrowed 5,000, and your uncle borrowed 3,000...... plus your uncle's 50,000 and our family's more than 70,000, a total of 156,000, and a difference of 44,000. ”
"Speaking of which, this time it's thanks to your uncle. The 50,000 yuan is still for him to use for a small business. Zhao Guanghui sighed.
The brothers are not so powerful, but the wives and mothers help each other one by one.
Zhao Tianming nodded: "Those who are good to us, we will remember them in the future." As for others, there is no need to complain, and people are not obligated to borrow money. ”
"No, I borrowed so much money, and I don't know when I'll be able to pay it off. Zhao Guanghui said worriedly.
Zhao Tianming was about to take out the money to solve the current predicament. Before he came back, he took out more than 200,000 yuan in cash from the bank and carried it back.
At this time, two people walked in outside, it was Zhao Tianming's sister-in-law and her son.
"Tianming is back, too? yes, something like this happened. Speaking of which, your family Tianhua is really too ignorant and has caused so much trouble for the family. Tianming, how is your work now?" said Zhao Tianming's sister-in-law.
Lao Zhao's family is very unhappy to listen to, no matter how you listen to it, it has a taste of teaching people, and it seems to be superior.
"Sister-in-law, is there something wrong?" Zhao Tianming asked in a deep voice.
The two mothers and sons were not polite at all, and found a stool to sit down by themselves. The sister-in-law's son Li Hejun sneered: "Big cousin, if we don't come, the second cousin will wait to go to jail!"
Li Hejun also doesn't read much, he is more insidious, he was once beaten by Zhao Tianhua, and he has always been obsessed.
However, he is considered a rich second generation, his son gave him hundreds of thousands, opened a big supermarket in the town, and he is considered to have a successful career, and often ridicules Zhao Tianming, the eldest cousin, what is the use of reading more?
When Zhao Tianming's mother heard this, the other party seemed to be here to help, so she hurriedly poured tea for the other party and said something nice.
Zhao Tianming looked a little sad, and felt sorry for his parents to whisper to others for the sake of their children.
"The surname is Li, you are very happy now?" Zhao Tianhua suddenly said angrily.
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Tianming's parents' faces changed. Finally, people took the initiative to come to the door and help solve the problem. You're a good kid, you can't hold back your temper at all, and you offend people right away.
"Go back to your room!" Zhao Guanghui said with a glare.
"Ah Hua, you don't have to say a word, your cousin is also kind, how can you say that about others?" Zhao Tianming's mother also said.
Li Hejun's mother and son naturally didn't have a good face: "Since you are kind enough to be a donkey kick, let's go! We don't care about this pile of shit." ”
Zhao Tianming doubted the purpose of the mother and son from the moment they came in. The character of the sister-in-law's family, he is very clear, and he is not so kind.
"Sit, sit, what are you angry with the child? Why does he say that he is also your nephew, and he can't bear to watch him go to prison?" Zhao Guanghui took his sister's hand and asked her to sit down first.
Then, staring at Zhao Tianhua sternly, let his son quickly apologize.
This man just said that he would simply let his son go to prison, but in fact, he is also a knife mouth and a tofu heart. There is no parent who does not love his child.
Zhao Tianhua resisted the urge to hit people, and stood there stunned without moving.
This is also a stubborn guy, Zhao Tianming knows that if he wants his second brother to apologize to Li Hejun, it is better to send him directly to prison to squat for a few years.
"What? Open your mouth, do you feel embarrassed?" Li Hejun said disdainfully.
At this time, Zhao Tianming couldn't stand it anymore.
"That's enough, sister-in-law, you can go back! Dad: Give my sister-in-law's 2,000 yuan back. ”
