Chapter 035: Comforting Parents
When his mother's mood stabilized, he told his mother that he had applied for a job on night duty at the Tianhua Auto Repair Factory, with 30 yuan a day, and the phone he was using now was the duty phone of the auto repair factory. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Then, he told his mother that he had repaired a sports car worth more than 3 million yuan with his colleagues today, and helped the owner of the auto repair shop earn tens of thousands of yuan in repair fees, and the boss was happy to give a large sum of money to several of their employees.
My mother didn't believe it on the phone, saying that it was possible to repair a car for tens of thousands of yuan. Meng Wentian talked about an incident reported in the media, saying that the cleaner of a hotel in the provincial capital spent more than 100,000 yuan just stepping on the bumper of a luxury car, and also talked about the fact that in the past, the color TV maintenance master had to charge 100 yuan before repairing the machine, which made his mother suspicious.
When his mother recognized that he had received a large sum of money, Meng Wentian blew up half of the year-end bonus he had won.
When the mother heard this, she was surprised, proud, and relieved, and thought that her son was the smartest and most filial child in the world. When the goal was achieved, Meng Wentian said that he had used the money he earned to pay off the debts of his cousin's family, and on behalf of them, he gave his cousin 3,000 yuan to drink wine.
When my mother heard this, she cried even more.
However, her cry this time was a cry of joy, a cry for the release of pressure.
During this period of time, what made the parents depressed and guilty was that they owed money to their cousins and sisters-in-law, and it was the cousins and sisters-in-law who wanted to accept their daughters-in-law, which was the time when they needed money the most.
One of the reasons why the two of them have to go to the south to work after the New Year is that they can't stand the complaining eyes of their cousin's family, and they feel too much guilt for their cousin's family to marry but have no money.
In order to pay off their cousin's 3,000 yuan, which is heavier than Mount Tai, they have tried everything they can: they have been reluctant to eat a meal of meat; whenever they see a mineral water bottle on the road, they immediately run over to pick it up and get together to exchange it for change; they have to consider comparing it when they take the bus, and strive to save a few cents and a dollar; ......
In order to save the cost of renting a house, they cheekily discussed with a fellow villager who worked in a garment factory, asking them to temporarily lend their rented house to live in for them, guard the furniture for them, and wait for them to return from their hometown for the Chinese New Year. When the fellow agreed, they quit their own rented room.
In other words, the two of them are not the real tenants of the landlord now.
……
But they never expected that their son would quietly repay the debt for them, and also gave them 3,000 yuan for drinking wine!
3,000 yuan is a heavy gift now, enough for them to straighten their waists when they meet their cousins and sisters-in-law in the future, and they no longer have to worry about someone saying that they are defaulting on their debts, and they will be able to raise their heads at relatives' houses in the future.
"Wentian, thank you, Mom and Dad. You're such a sensible child. Mother said with tears in her voice.
Meng Wentian smiled: "Isn't this normal? You are my parents, and I am your son." …… By the way, Mom, is there any other family that has a debt that must be paid right away? or they are in urgent need of money, maybe I can pay it off a little. ”
The mother stopped talking and said, "Forget it, you've done enough." You can use the money you earn for your own use, and you have to pay tuition and fees when school starts, and you have to prepare for living expenses. ”
Meng Wentian said: "Mom, don't worry, I can earn back this money." Do you know? I'm working at Tianhua Auto Repair Shop now, and my boss told me that if I fix the car, I'll get half of the profits. ”
My mother was surprised and asked, "What do you repair?"
Repairing a car with a colleague and repairing a car by herself are two different concepts, and the mother absolutely does not believe that her son, who is in high school, can repair the car on his own.
Meng Wentian said with a smile: "You underestimate your son and me again, but I have studied computer science and physics." There are a lot of electronically controlled cars in the car, such as lights, generators, starter motors, instrument panels, in short, there are many, many places that I can get my hands on, our high school teacher told me. And I used to watch my dad when he was repairing his car? I remember a lot. ”
Hearing that the teacher told her son that he hadn't read much and didn't know much about electronics and electrical appliances, his mother chose to believe it again and said, "Son, you are awesome! You know, your dad made that girl boss miserable. Ay...... By the way, why didn't she deduct your money? We owe her more than 300,000 yuan?"
Meng Wentian continued to flicker: "She's embarrassed, she takes half of the money I earned, and she still earns it." …… , I also told her that if the money is less, I will take it, and if the money is more, I will pay off part of the debt, and she agreed. ”
"This girl is a good person. …… , you have to do a good job...... "The mother was a little suspicious, thinking that this boss seemed to be too good.
Meng Wentian said: "Of course not, other employees will take another third." However, I don't get a basic salary, I don't have a basic salary, I don't have insurance or anything, so of course she has to give me a little higher. Besides, it's the time of the Chinese New Year, if we don't send more, we all run outside to play, what should she do?"
didn't understand the inside story, and admired her son's mother, who was confused by Meng Wentian for a while, and even had a self-blame that she didn't understand anything but loved to nag.
Although she still felt that her son's affairs were a little strange, she couldn't think of what was strange.
At this time, Meng Wentian said lightly: "Mom, let me tell you one more thing, I broke up with Ma Lili." ”
"Ahh......h This...... What should Boss Ma say...... "No, I'll have to ask your dad about it......"
Meng Wentian said: "Mom, I called Boss Ma just now, and he agreed. …… , I know that you are for my own good, but I, Meng Wentian, will have a future on my own, so why cling to them? Didn't you always say that you still earned it yourself?"
My mother didn't know what to say for a while, but after a while, she said, "We are so good to Lili, don't we just hope that she can help you in the future and help you find a good job......?"
Meng Wentian smiled: "You are good to her, she looks down on our goodness, and she is not rare for our goodness." Give her that little gift money every year, where will she see it?...... Actually, don't worry, she said today that if I can't find a good job in the future, she is still willing to help. ”
This is a half-truth. Ma Lili did say that she would help in the future, but he firmly refused at the time.
The mother smiled bitterly and said, "This is not to coax you, once you break up, where will she help you? Even if she agrees, her future boyfriend will not agree." …… , well, now you can also make money, you can call the shots, and you can divide it. It's okay like this, so that every time I see her, I will be scared, for fear of offending this aunt and grandmother of the Ma family. ”
Because of Meng Wentian's foreshadowing, especially in her heart, she created the impression that her son could be in charge, and Meng Wentian's words just now hit her again and again, making her habitually accept the reality and no longer worry too much about her son.
Meng Wentian smiled when he saw that his goal had been achieved and that his mother had no overreaction.
Soon, he changed the topic and told some trivial things about the marriage between the uncle and aunt and their in-laws, saying that the other party was going to the hotel to hold a banquet, and that the aunt and uncle needed exactly 5,000 yuan.
After a few words, her mother's thinking was immediately taken to other things by Meng Wentian, and she no longer asked about Ma Lili.
After asking the names and amounts of several creditors who needed to pay off their arrears as soon as possible, Meng Wentian asked his mother to hand over the phone to his father, who had already come over to listen to them, and asked them a little about their living conditions.
Although his father reported good news but not bad news, he still heard that his parents were living a very hard life, and he couldn't help but feel a sour nose.
He persuaded his parents to come back and find a job or start a small business in the county seat, and their future life would definitely be better.
However, his mother interrupted him very resolutely, not only saying that they are not bitter now, saying that they are only in their forties and can completely bear it, but also that the relationship between the two of them is much better than before, and that both hearts are working together, and there is no previous quarrel, and there is a sense of accomplishment in suffering.
