Chapter 45: Helplessness
There are too many helplessness in real life that we can't escape, so we can only choose to face and accept. (I think this sentence has been used, so let's leave it at that.) )
On the day Mengmeng was discharged from the hospital, Chen's mother called early, saying that her granddaughter had to celebrate when she was discharged from the hospital, and asked Chen Yang's family of three to go over for dinner at noon.
Chen Yang was very happy because of his daughter's recovery, but his mother's proposal to have a reunion dinner made him a little upset. Chen Yang was a little apprehensive about this brother-in-law who had never met, after all, he was twenty-eight years old, and he lost the payment of 100,000 yuan in a gamble, and he and his sister had a quarrel to the point of not recognizing each other.
Chen Yang learned something from Gao Yue's mouth, saying that his brother-in-law is an honest and responsible person, and he has done it step by step from the lowest decorator to now, and has become a small contractor. Although I met my sister on a blind date, I have been in love with my sister all these years.
Hearing that her aunt's family was coming, Mengmeng was very happy, saying that she could see her two brothers again.
Chen Yang has seen his twin nephews a few times, and he is quite close, the two of them are three years older than their daughters, and they all say that their nephews are more like uncles, and the two nephews are really similar to themselves, and they still like it very much in their hearts.
The first thing Gao Yue did when she came home was to clean, her little cleanliness habit made her a little unbearable to stand the dust at home, Chen Yang followed behind and did what she could.
It was almost noon, Chen Yang's family came to his parents' house, and the two nephews were playing downstairs at their parents' house.
Two days ago, when my sister went to the hospital to see Mengmeng, she brought the two little ones with her, and now the two of them are pretending to be big brothers when they see Mengmeng.
"Mengmeng, you're well, my brother brought you the best-looking windmill. The eldest nephew said.
"Mengmeng, my brother brought you a garland, which is better than his. The little nephew said.
"My good. ”
"My good. ”
Seeing the two little guys arguing, Chen Yang smiled bitterly and played the round, saying that the two of them were fine, and then led a few little guys upstairs.
Ring the doorbell, it was my sister who opened the door, she was wearing an apron, she should be cooking. Seeing that the two little guys were making a fuss, my sister changed her face and reprimanded a few words, and the two little guys instantly shut up, it seems that my sister's tutor is still relatively strict.
Gao Yue went straight to the kitchen to help, and her sister and mother both said, "I've been in the hospital for a few days, let's go and rest, we'll just cook the meal." ”
Gao Yue said with a smile: "It's okay, I also ate and slept there, and I didn't feel tired." ”
This is where Gao Yue's cleverness lies, she will not abandon traditional virtues at any time, and let her sit back and enjoy her success with peace of mind, which will only make her feel uneasy.
To Chen Yang's surprise, his brother-in-law did not come, and his sister and parents did not propose to call his brother-in-law, which made Chen Yang very puzzled.
After a hearty lunch, Chen Yang led a few children out to buy toys, Chen's mother and the three were busy in the kitchen, and Chen's father made tea and listened to the play with the radio.
When Chen Yang led the children back from outside, there was no trace of Chen's father in the living room, but when he went to the kitchen, he only saw Gao Yue's figure.
Chen Yang let the children play in the living room, and he went to the kitchen to Gao Yue and said, "What about Mom and Sister?"
Gao Yue turned around and whispered: "My sister seems to have quarreled with my brother-in-law, and my parents are persuading me." ”
Chen Yang was a little puzzled, he heard his parents and Gao Yue say that his brother-in-law and sister had been married for more than ten years, and it seemed that they had never blushed once, so how could they quarrel.
Chen Yang was a little curious, he left the kitchen and came to the door of his parents' bedroom, just before the door was closed, he held his breath and put his ears up.
Chen's mother said: "Xiao, don't blame Taozi, he is just too stressed, so he will say those hurtful words to you." ”
Chen Xiao cried a little: "He is under pressure and I know, I only blame him for being too honest, the real estate developer does not give him the settlement of material fees and wages, so he takes out all the money from his family to pay wages to the workers, and now he has no money, and he has borrowed everything he can borrow, he really can't think of a way." I know he's upset, but what kind of anger he is making for me, and he keeps mentioning the 100,000 yuan that Yangzi lost, isn't this deliberately getting along with me, why didn't he mention the 150,000 yuan that his sister used to buy a house. ”
Dad Chen sighed and said, "Xiao, don't talk about it, in the afternoon, Dad went to find my old friends and lent 100,000 yuan to Taozi." ”
Chen Xiao hurriedly said, "Dad, I didn't mean that, don't be angry." ”
Chen's mother said angrily: "You dead old man, can you not make trouble." ”
Chen's mother continued: "I told the two of you, Yangzi has finally settled down with Xiaoyue now, don't make any more trouble because of this matter, you two guard your mouth for me." Xiao, listen to Mom, don't mess with Taozi, take the child home in the afternoon, just act as if nothing happened. ”
Chen's father's voice was a little anxious: "You are an old fool, this money must be given to Taozi, although he is a son-in-law, but he can't let him look down on our family and our son like this, and our girl has to be wronged in his family because of the 100,000 yuan." Girl, don't worry, Dad can still borrow 100,000 yuan. ”
Chen's mother said angrily: "As long as you have the ability, you don't know what the situation of our family is now, after giving Yangzi money last time, there is only your salary left, usually eat and drink, and give a gift to personal money, there are still a few left." Can you borrow 100,000 yuan and come back, but what are we going to pay back to others, do we rely on your retirement salary, or let Yangzi pay it back? Yangzi is still renting a house to live in, and I am still waiting for him to save some money to buy a house, otherwise it will be a problem for Mengmeng to go to school at that time. I don't want my old face anymore, I gave him all my daughters, let's be clear, even if I borrowed the 100,000 yuan, what if I don't pay him back. ”
Dad Chen said in a trembling voice: "You, you... Anyway, I can't stand this anger, I'll go, you, you can say it. ”
Chen Xiao shouted: "Dad, Dad, Dad." ”
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Chen Yang quickly moved his body and hid in the bathroom, and Chen's father went out of the bedroom, changed his shoes and went out directly.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Chen Yang walked out of the bathroom with a calm face.
After thinking about it for a while, he said to Gao Yue through the door curtain, saying that he went to Li Dong to talk about something, asked her to take care of the children, and then changed his shoes and went out.
Chen Yang is extremely disappointed, because of his own reasons, caused the current situation.
My sister was wronged, my father was holding on to her dignity, and my mother was so helpless that she even played a scoundrel. The mother in my impression would never say what she just said. All this made Chen Yang's heart very uncomfortable, he didn't want the people closest to him to suffer because of his own mistakes
Chen Yang doesn't have any prejudices against his brother-in-law, in this society, his brothers still have to settle accounts, and he is just someone's brother-in-law, and he lost other people's money in a gamble, so there is no reason not to pay it back to others, is it really as his mother said, a scoundrel?
Walking on the street, Chen Yang looked around blankly, thinking about where he should go to borrow the 100,000 yuan.
Chen Yang contracted the box car in the past few months, and after paying back his cousin's 30,000 yuan, there were only a few thousand yuan left in hand, and his daughter's hospitalization fee was almost not enough, but fortunately, Xiaomei gave Mengmeng 5,000 when she came, so that Chen Yang could solve her urgent need.
The question is, who to borrow money from now?
Forget it, Li Dong should have so much money, but he just had a child, and the turnover in the store is also tight, and he doesn't want to trouble him anymore.
Sister De Gemei can't do it, she and they haven't been in touch for a while, and it's not a small number.
After thinking about it, Chen Yang thought of the fat man and Xiaomei, the fat father was born as a coal boss and is now doing real estate in their local area. The fat man is running a bar now, and 100,000 yuan shouldn't be a big deal for him.
But Chen Yang was really depressed, he only reunited with the fat man a few days ago, and today he went to borrow money from someone, and he was really shameless.
Will the fat man lend himself money? Although he was not sure, Chen Yang really couldn't think of any other way. He didn't want his parents and sister to suffer because of his own fault, and all he could think of was to turn the pressure on himself.
