Chapter 416: Surrender
People are like this, they can't look down on others, but they look down on those who are worse than them, the whole complex of contradictions. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Auntie, grandma, if it's okay, then I'll leave first!"
Uncle counted on Lin Quan to bow his head, of course Lin Quan would not bow his head, rather than spending himself here to make himself uncomfortable, it was better to walk away.
If you don't give me a good face, I also take the initiative to put a hot face on your cold ass, and then let you take the opportunity to slaughter me fiercely, so I'm not a fool?
So Lin Quan decided to break this situation.
When he said this, his aunt and grandmother were both anxious, and grandpa sighed, unable to see the situation at home, and embarrassed to speak by himself, so he shook his head and went out.
The uncle also seemed to be a little anxious, and opened his mouth, but in the end he still didn't speak.
"Xiaoquan, it's not easy for you to come here, why don't you have a meal at your aunt's side before leaving!
While giving her uncle a look, her aunt pulled Lin Quan's sleeve and didn't let him go.
Lin Quan had no choice but to stop and say to his aunt: "Auntie, I really don't need to do this, I really have something to do, Lin Qiao will go to her classmate later, I will send her away later!"
Lin Quan definitely didn't want to stay here to eat, he went to the door, this was already an expression of his attitude, there was no need to eat, he didn't decide to forgive his uncle and aunt, if this meal was left here to eat, they would misunderstand if they couldn't keep it.
"Then let's cook early, you eat early and send Qiao'er away and come back, don't you say you brought Xiao Dan over, we didn't have a good chat, you left like this, I don't know when we will meet next time!"
Lin Quan didn't have time to grind with him, so he gave Lin Qiao a look, Lin Qiao nodded, stood up and said to his aunt: "Auntie, my classmate has made an appointment with me, meet at Beihai Park in the county seat at half past ten, now there is only one hour, we won't stop eating, aunt, we all remember your intentions, then if it's okay, we'll leave!"
My aunt was speechless for a while, and she didn't know whether what Lin Qiao said was true or false, if it was true, then the other party had made an appointment with her classmates before coming to her, and even the time had been booked, and she didn't plan to eat at her side, so she naturally understood what it meant.
And if what she said is true, it means that the other party doesn't want to stay with her now, and makes an excuse to leave.
But whether this is true or false, the fact that the other party wants to leave is really not fake.
Thinking of this, my aunt knew that if they didn't take the initiative to showdown and take the initiative to give in, then today's matter would be difficult!
So she gritted her teeth and said to Lin Quan.
"Xiaoquan, your aunt and your uncle were really sorry for your family back then, we were a little guilty all these years, but I also had a hard time with your uncle, your uncle was a soldier in the army back then, I followed your uncle to the south, we don't know much about what happened here in my hometown, and the second is that the whip is out of reach, and when your uncle comes back from the army, we also had a hard time at that time haha, you have seen it, although we live in the city, but the house is only fifty or sixty square meters, this is still renting someone else's house, even your aunt and I opened a shop, are also renting other people's shops, we say that we live in the city, but it's just a rural person without roots, your grandfather's health has not been good in the past few years, he has been hospitalized, prescribed medicine and bought nutritional products, and spent a lot of money!"
"And your cousin and cousin, they also cost money to go to school, your cousin is about to take the college entrance examination, his grades are not good, we have suffered from no culture, and we don't want the next generation to suffer like this, so we want to send him to the county No. 1 middle school, don't everyone say that knowledge changes fate? Our own fate can't be changed, we can only pin our hopes on the next generation, counting on him to have a head run in the county No. 1 Middle School and be admitted to a good university, my aunt knows that your brothers and sisters have suffered a lot outside for so many years, but if we can get this money, we will never talk to you, it is not easy for everyone, we know this, but now we can't help it? Xiaoquan, for your mother's sake, help us, okay!"
Lin Quan was silent, he had a little hesitation in his heart, it wasn't that he pitied his uncle and aunt, nine out of ten sentences in his aunt's words were false, but half of them were false, and he would definitely not be able to escape.
Yes, in the early years, my uncle was indeed a soldier and served in the field troops in the south, but my aunt also followed.
But they are definitely not without money, at that time my aunt opened a store in the army, and the relationship between the army was the only store in the army, which was a monopoly business, perhaps because the monopoly business was too much, so after returning to my hometown, my aunt who continued to look at the store in the county town has always been famous for her service attitude, but this service attitude is not very good, but very bad, the monopoly business is the seller's business, after she adapts to the kind of high-ranking role, she naturally will not look at these ordinary customers, so the business is getting worse and worse, and finally to this point!
However, at that time, at least in the few years that my uncle had served, they had earned more than 500,000 yuan with this store, which was still the number estimated by Lin Quan, and only they knew how much.
This is the early 90s, the situation in 9596, more than 500,000, almost equivalent to 5 million now!
With such a large amount of money, they still shout poor, it is really poor, and the poor are only left with money!
But they were so rich at the time, did they think about helping Lin Quan and Lin Qiao's brothers and sisters?
Not at all!
After my uncle retired, my aunt went home with them, but a bunch of people from my aunt's house pounced like sharks smelling blood, eager to divide all the money that my aunt and uncle had saved.
As a result, my aunt was so generous to my mother's side, but I didn't pay any attention to my uncle's own brothers and sisters, this kind of chilling thing, now that I think about it, they don't feel guilty at all, and they dare to ask Lin Quan for money, you are so good to the people on your mother's side, why don't you ask them?
So Lin Quan just thought about it a little more, and immediately threw away the idea of helping them in his mind.
It's just at this time that the aunt, who saw Lin Quan's face change, threw out a killer idea.
"Xiaoquan, your mother used to leave some things on your grandmother's side, when we came back to clean up things this time, we found this, I was going to send it to you, you came just in time this time, I'll bring it back for you now!"
Lin Quan's words came to his mouth and swallowed deeply.
Mother's stuff?
He had some doubts in his heart, but also some excitement and anticipation.
Lin Quan's impression of his mother is almost completely gone, except for a few black and white photos he left, so if she really has something left, this is very important to him.
Lin Quan remembered that when he was a child, he was always ridiculed when he was in school, ridiculing him for being a wild species, without parents, for which Lin Quan often fought with people, and every time he fought, he fought very fiercely, at the beginning he couldn't beat others, and then he learned ruthlessly, and the fight was particularly fatal, so others couldn't beat him, and those who dared to laugh at him were beaten by him, and these beaten children went to complain to their parents after they went home, and then the parents took the children to Lin Quan's house.
Lin Quan, who was also beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, was often beaten up again by his grandfather, which was regarded as an explanation to the other party's parents, and Lin Quan still clearly remembers what a parent said to his grandfather and him: "I know that there are no adults in your family, and it is not easy to bring a child, but this child has been bad at learning since he was a child, he has no parents to teach him, he has no parents to raise him, and he will go out of society after he goes out, and he is also completely uneducated, which will be laughed at for a lifetime!"
This sentence caused indelible wounds to Lin Quan's young heart, and even now, he has not recovered.
Sometimes, in the dead of night, he always thinks: If I didn't have no parents, if I had parents to love, have parents to discipline, and even have parents to scold, then what would my life trajectory look like?
This man has no answer to his question, and no one can answer him.
Therefore, Lin Quan is especially envious of those children who have complete families.
The things he left behind his parents were very valuable, except for a few photos, he had nothing else.
Lin Quan took out his wallet from his pocket, and took out a plastic black and white photo from it, which was a black and white photo of about an inch long, the photo showed a woman with braids and a somewhat thin figure, the photo was already a little blurry, the smile on the woman's face gradually became unclear, but Lin Quan felt very kind in his hand, and the connection flowing in the blood seemed to be awakened all of a sudden.
The woman in this photo is Lin Quan's mother, when she took this photo, she was still very young, I heard my grandmother say that she was only nineteen years old.
Young people in rural areas start a family relatively early, and it is not uncommon for them to marry at the age of nineteen, Lin Quan's mother was married at the age of 20, Lin Quan was born at the age of 21, Lin Qiao was born at the age of 23, and he was also 23 years old when he died.
Tears blurred Lin Quan's eyes, I don't know how many times this has been, it seems that every time he sees this photo, he has a strong desire to cry.
He heard someone sobbing in a low voice, Lin Quan raised his head in surprise, but saw that Lin Qiao couldn't cry anymore.
Denise carefully comforted her on the side, and then glanced at Lin Quan worriedly.
Lin Quan turned his head and secretly wiped a handful of tears with his sleeve, people often say that the snot is flowing sideways, the snot here refers to the snot, and the snot refers to the tears.
But in fact, when people cry, nasal mucus is actually tears, and the tear glands secrete too much tears, which not only gush out of the eye sockets, but also flow into the nasal cavity from the intranasal tube in the lacrimal sac, so there will be a situation of sobbing and cross-flowing.
The uncle also seemed to be touched, his eyes were slightly red, the cigarettes in his mouth were smoked one after another, and the cigarette butts were lost on the ground after a while.
"Okay, don't cry, Qiao'er!"
Lin put his whole hand around Lin Qiao's back and rubbed it on the back of her head with his hand, every time she wanted to cry before, as long as Lin Quan used this trick, it would be 100% effective.
It's just that this time, it doesn't seem to work well, and Lin Qiao is still crying.
It just so happened that my aunt walked out with a box in her hand, and there seemed to be a few letters under the box.
Seeing this scene, my aunt paused slightly, and then walked over.
"This is what your mother left behind, this is the letter she wrote to your father before her death, there are 29 in total, here are two, and 27 are in your grandmother's room, I will give it to you later!"
My aunt handed Lin Quan a cardboard box that looked very old.
Lin Quan stretched out his hand and took it, it was a light yellow cardboard box, the carton was not very large, about fifteen centimeters long and only seven or eight centimeters wide.
It seemed to contain some small things, Lin Quan stretched out his hand to open it, but hesitated, hesitated for a long time, and finally put it away and handed it to Lin Qiao.
"Thank you!"
Lin Quan whispered, his aunt saw his heavy expression, and she was also very worried in her heart, she didn't know if this step was correct, it stands to reason that the weakness of these two children is the relic of their parents, and if she takes this thing out, they should not help anymore, but she still has no bottom in her heart, and it seems that it is too despicable to do so, and she actually took this thing out as a bargaining chip, and her own heart was a little uneasy.
In fact, they had already discovered this thing a few years ago, except for these letters, which were kept by his grandmother, the rest of the things were actually found when they cleaned up the things they didn't want, but they didn't think about exchanging these things to the Lin family, but were going to throw them away as garbage, just because they didn't stay at home for a long time, and most of the time was spent in the county.
So this matter is just talking, not put into action, and now, these things that were supposed to be thrown away by them have actually become the hole cards in their hands, which is really unexpected.
"I also hope that my cousin can have a good future, aunt, you are right, knowledge changes fate, it is always good to read more books, so let's do it, I don't have much on me, you send an account over, I will transfer 500,000 to you, which is a thank you for helping our brothers and sisters keep my mother's relics for so many years!"
Lin Quan took a deep breath, looked at his aunt and said, "If you still find anything about my mother's things in your hometown, aunt, please keep them and return them to us, and we will provide a reward!"
"Oh, you said this too much, your mother died early, she didn't have much left behind, and there haven't been many things left over the years, but don't worry, if there is really something left, we will definitely protect it for you!"
When my aunt heard the figure of 500,000, her heart was simply overjoyed, not to mention that this money was more than enough for her son to choose a school, and even they had no problem buying a new elevator room in the county!
My aunt has already planned, and after sending her son to the county No. 1 middle school, she will go with her man to buy a school district house next to the county No. 1 middle school, so that she can take care of her son and daughter nearby!
The price of housing in the school district is relatively high, a house costs more than 300,000 yuan, this price was unimaginable to them before, but now, this price is completely out of reach for them.
It's just that seeing Lin Quan give 500,000 yuan with a wave of his hand, my aunt was very puzzled, how much money did he have? 500,000 yuan was like an inappropriate thing, and she was thinking about Lin Quan's other possessions!
