Cheng Yanling and my mother-in-law were originally dissatisfied with me because I asked Cheng Shaojie to transfer the brick factory, but they didn't dare to show it in front of me. Later, my mother-in-law's attitude towards me suddenly improved, and I knew that the Cheng family knew about our cooperation with Liu Jianguo to make money. Maybe it was Cheng Shaojie's admonition, they didn't mention it in front of me, I just pretended not to know, and still lived our days peacefully, guarding the two children every day, taking care of them in an all-round way, crossing out the time on the calendar one by one, and the red flag of the college entrance examination is getting closer and closer.

In the blink of an eye, the Spring Festival, because Jiang Xinya's help in the power plant's account has been settled very smoothly, and I have moved some money from Lin Xiaoran, so the funds have been very sufficient, and we have made a lot of money. But in order not to disturb the minds of the two children, we never mentioned it at home, and the Spring Festival was as plain as ever.

The business went well, and although my mother-in-law didn't say it, she admired me in her heart. When the family had a group dinner during the Spring Festival, my mother-in-law said to me with a smile on her face: "The fortune teller is really accurate, you are really a prosperous man, since you entered our house, Cheng Shaojie has done everything smoothly."

I was secretly amused in my heart, this fortune teller was myself, but I didn't show it on my face, and when I saw two children in front of me, I said: "Fate is in my own hands, and if you want to get it, you have to pay first, isn't it Li Haoyu?" You worked hard to harvest the grass in the autumn that year, and sold it for a good price in the winter! ”

Li Haoyu nodded and said: "That is, people's destiny is in their own hands, my destiny is in my own hands, I have to work hard now, and I also want to go to Beijing to go to university."

Cheng Jiahui looked at Li Haoyu from the side and smiled slightly, I knew that he was laughing at Li Haoyu This time it was so easy to get on the road.

Cheng Yanli, who had been waiting to see me beside her, pouted and said, "Mom, what does it have to do with you no matter how much money my brother makes, how many can you spend?" Now I don't live in this shabby house, and the food and clothing are not the same as before, who in our family has taken advantage of my brother? ”。

The mother-in-law glared at her when she was talking too undecently, "What do you want?" You need your brother's money if you don't eat or drink."

Cheng Yanling saw that her mother was also a little annoyed with her and said angrily: "I don't need his money, but Cheng Yuyu is also his daughter, and my brother also has her share in his property."

As soon as her words came out, the room suddenly fell silent, everyone looked at her, and her mother-in-law suddenly changed her face and said, "Yanling, you shut up for me"

The eldest sister sitting next to her smashed her elbow and whispered, "You're crazy, what nonsense?" ”

Cheng Yanling slapped her elbow back and said, "What's wrong, I'm not wrong, what's so scary." ”

I know that Cheng Yuyu is the daughter of Cheng Shaojie and his second wife Lu Lina, seeing that everyone is secretly looking at my face, I put down the teacup in my hand and said unhurriedly: "If your brother dies suddenly and does not make a will, each of his children and parents have the right to inherit his property according to the law, but when he is still alive, his property is at his disposal, and he can give it to whoever he wants."

Cheng Yanli sneered, "Isn't my brother's money in your hands, do you think we don't know?" Can he dominate himself? ”

At this time, everyone's eyes looked at me unabashedly, and I understood that they all thought this way, but Cheng Yanling said what they thought.

I am extremely angry at their behavior of showing their faces of fighting for money and profit without scruples in front of Cheng Jiahui and Li Haoyu, but I can't show it at this time. I smiled indifferently and said, "If he wants, he can take it at any time, as long as he wants."

Cheng Yanling pouted and said, "It's a good saying, who believes it!" ”

Everyone's eyes wandered between me and Cheng Shaojie, and Cheng Shaojie said with a dark face: "Does our family's affairs have anything to do with you?" You have so many things to do all day long! Shut your stinky mouth for me, and if you eat too much, get out of here."

Cheng Yanling couldn't get off the stage after being scolded, slapped the chopsticks in her hand on the table and cried: "Since you married her, you only have her in your eyes, your mother is not your mother, your sister is not a sister, what's so great about her?" Isn't it just a broken policeman, who doesn't take our family in his eyes, others gamble and fine the money, and it's over, you not only fined the money but also went to jail for fifteen days, who in our family got a little bit of her cheaper and fell on her a little better? You offer her all day long, when she is your aunt and grandmother, don't count me in it, this is my home, I can say whatever I want, you don't want to listen to you! ”

Cheng Yanling was crying, only to see Cheng Jiahui suddenly stand up, slam the bowl in his hand on the table, turn around and leave the table and walk out of the door, I said to Li Haoyu: "You go and see where your brother is."

Li Haoyu got up and chased out, and then I also stood up and picked up their clothes and chased them out, quickly escaping from the place of right and wrong, and let them say whatever they wanted, I didn't listen to my ears and didn't bother.

Out of the courtyard to see Li Haoyu and Cheng Jiahui standing at the gate, Cheng Jiahui looked into the distance with a cold face, I walked over and pulled his arm, gave him his coat and let him put it on, he lowered his head and whispered to me: "I'm sorry"

I smiled and touched his face and said, "It's okay, don't take it personally, I don't care about this, I know how I do people and how I do things, they want to do whatever they want, you don't have to go to your heart, let's go in."

Cheng Jiahui said stubbornly with a calm face: "I won't go back, I don't want to see them."

I knew that Cheng Yanling just mentioned Lu Lina and Cheng Yuyu to give me a good look, but she didn't expect that it was Cheng Jiahui who was really hurt.

I patted him on the arm in understanding, and I didn't want to go back. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: "Shall we go to your Sister Mei Duo's house to pay New Year's greetings?" ”

Li Haoyu immediately jumped in agreement, Cheng Jiahui also showed a smile on his face to agree, drove to the store at the entrance of the village to buy some fruit snacks, and our group arrived at Mei Duo's house.

Mei Duo's family didn't expect us to visit us so uninvited, and they were at a loss for a while, but as soon as Li Haoyu entered the door, he greeted Mei Duo's sister, uncle, and aunt with a smile, which made everyone feel at ease, and it seems that Li Haoyu's affinity should not be underestimated.

Meadow's father was a lean and sturdy man of about fifty years of age, and her mother was a fair, round, kind-eyed woman, who spoke very gently and decently. Although Mei Duo's father is a man who doesn't talk much and doesn't smile much, he is very calm in his speech and demeanor, and he looks like the person in charge of the family. is not like Cheng Shaojie's family, her mother-in-law is a person who takes things. Although I am not a patriarchal person, I always feel that the family headed by the man is always more stable, and the family headed by the woman is easy to jump in trouble, if there are a few more strong women in this family, it will blow up the nest at every turn, like the current Cheng Shaojie's family, I don't know what that group of people is arguing about now.

Mei Duo's house is not big, enter a room with a front hall and a back kitchen, a door to the living room and a kitchen in the left room, leading to two bedrooms, although the room is the most dilapidated clod house in the village, but the walls are smeared by them to be polished and white, the very simple furniture is neatly placed, wiped clean, the glass window is still pasted with window grilles, the room is not big but clean and warm.

Seeing us come to pay New Year's greetings, their whole family was overjoyed, and the room immediately became lively, Mei Duo's mother was looking for food, we repeatedly excused ourselves, they still gave us a pot of dumplings and mixed three cold dishes.

Mei Duo's father took out the wine to drink, and I said that we don't drink, but Mei Duo's father pointed to Li Haoyu and Cheng Jiahui and said, "These are two big men, how can anyone not drink?" In our place, they are as old as they can take wives."

The eyes of the two young men lit up when they listened, and Li Haoyu chased after them to ask about marrying a daughter-in-law, and Mei Duo and I pursed our lips and laughed at the two of them. Mei Duo's mother smiled and said, "A handsome young man like you is rare in our hometown."

Li Haoyu listened even more with his eyebrows fluttering. The parents pestered Meiduo to tell the story of their hometown, and the six of them laughed and laughed happily.

When I got home in the evening, Cheng Shaojie had already come back first, Cheng Shaojie asked us where we went, I said that we went to Mei Duo's house to sit for a while, Cheng Shaojie said: "Yanling was not like this before, today she is like crazy."

I smiled disapprerovingly and said, "It's not that she's crazy, it's the money that's crazy, it's all about money."

Cheng Shaojie looked at me, took his eyes off my face, and said while undressing: "Cheng Yanling's words, don't take it to heart."

"Is it about Cheng Yuyu and Lu Lina? These things have nothing to do with me, and I won't take them to heart. Also, tell your family that they can do whatever they want behind their backs, but they are not allowed to talk about business or money in front of their children."

"What do you call the people of our family? You take the child and leave without a word, do you put our family in your eyes, I don't care, Cheng Yanling can also ignore it, but I still have parents at home" Cheng Shaojie said angrily and threw the clothes he took off on the sofa and said: "My business and our family's affairs have nothing to do with you, you can't see me and my family, you have never taken it to heart and will never take it to heart, right?" As long as it's me and our family, you can leave it alone."

I met Cheng Shaojie's angry eyes and said, "What are you doing here?" Will you continue to quarrel with me instead of Cheng Yanling? It's not my problem, it's yours! I have my own standards for how I behave, and I won't accommodate you if I marry you."

"It's my problem! It's that I'm not worthy of you, no matter what I do, no matter how good I do, no matter how much money I make, I can't meet your requirements, you don't care if it's not, I don't care about it."

I looked at Cheng Shaojie and said word by word: "Our relationship has nothing to do with money"

"What does that have to do with that? What the hell do you want me to do to be satisfied?"

"I don't want you to do anything, I just need you to be yourself, I just need you to keep your own nature" I took a book and put it next to my pillow, at this time I remembered Chen Jingde's gentle and calm appearance, and I couldn't help but have a trace of distraction.

Cheng Shaojie looked at me blankly: "I don't understand you, I don't understand what you want?" ”
