Chapter 068: Sister and Brother (Part I)
"Chinese New Year?" In just a few words, Aunt Xiu said bitterly, Zhou Mingluo also listened to the look moved, it turned out that she had been thinking about selling the house recently, and the purpose was to let Zhou Mingluo buy some things when he returned to his hometown for the New Year, and go back in style?
Speaking of which, Zhou Mingluo except for the first year when he came out of Xinchuan, although he also met Fang Shutong quickly, but after all, he just came, and his relationship with the Fang family was not deep, so when he went home that year, he was also very shabby in all aspects, but he just went back, but when he went back in the second and third years, he also had a small amount of savings, so every time he went home, he brought back a lot of things, the price was secondary, and he mainly wanted his parents to know his filial piety.
If there had been no change in the yellow book in his hand a while ago, and there had been no continuous leakage and gambling stones, it is estimated that he would have become very embarrassed when he went back this year.
He didn't expect Aunt Xiu to even think about these things.
"If you go back empty-handed this year, maybe it will make the eldest brother and sister-in-law think what you think, thinking that you have suffered here, since you are here with us, I can't let the eldest brother and sister-in-law worry." When Zhou Mingluo's heart shook, Aunt Xiu still had a trace of bitterness on her face, but she still smiled and said, "Besides, it's not just to make you look good when you go back, you have followed your uncle for three years, and you already have knowledge and ability, and even your uncle often praises you in private, saying that you are better than blue in antique porcelain, but to do your business, not only to have eyesight and knowledge, but also to rely on luck, if you want to do something in the remaining month or two, it is too difficult to rely on luck, Even if you regain your old business, you also need capital, and myself, I am also ready to find a job again in the next few days, after all, the two of us have to live, and we can't do it without money, and when we operated for your uncle before, although the house in our hands was not sold, but we also borrowed a sum of money from outside, and this debt also has to be repaid, so let's sell the house. ”
This explanation made Zhou Mingluo a little surprised, indeed, if it weren't for the change in the yellow book in his hand, the situation he and Aunt Xiu opposite him was really difficult.
Even when Fang Shutong was operating a while ago, he was sentenced a few years less, and the two did not sell the house at that time, but in addition, they still borrowed a sum of money from some acquaintances.
This amount of money is not large, and it adds up to less than 100,000, and it is all from Aunt Xiu's relatives.
If it weren't for this small amount of money as the last fund, just barely enough, it is estimated that the house would have been sold at that time, and now Aunt Xiu has lost her job and has no money in her hands, if she wants to survive, she must have capital, even if Zhou Mingluo wants to restart his old business alone, like the previous Uncle Fang running back and forth to collect antiques, he also needs capital, and that kind of thing depends more on luck.
This line of work is really like that now, you just have eyesight, knowledge is not enough, you must also rely on luck, otherwise even if you have the ability, but you can't touch the real thing, or you can't touch the cheap real thing, it's also a blind run.
And there is no doubt that in today's years, the collection craze has risen for many years, even in the ordinary people have a certain sense of antiques, even in a particularly closed and backward place, there are more and more second-class dealers who often run there, and it is naturally more and more difficult to pick up leaks and encounter good luck.
This is life, very realistic and helpless.
After some contemplation, Zhou Mingluo also sighed with emotion in his heart, if things didn't take a turn for the better, the next life would be really difficult for a while. But now all this is naturally not important, and there is absolutely no need for Aunt Xiu to sell the property, he has long promised Uncle Fang to take good care of Aunt Xiu, how can she really sell her last home?
"Aunt Xiu, it's okay, don't worry, we don't have to sell the house, I'll handle these things." After sighing, Zhou Mingluo's face swelled with joy again, and he was ready to hand over the property rights of the jade shop to Aunt Xiu.
But at this moment, a mobile phone rang suddenly, but it was from Aunt Xiu's side.
"I'll answer the phone." Aunt Xiu took out her mobile phone and looked at it, and got up directly.
"Okay." Zhou Mingluo could only suppress the words in his heart, nodded lightly, and then saw Aunt Xiu holding her mobile phone and just saying a few words, so she looked out the window with a surprised face.
When Zhou Mingluo also turned to look, he found that in the crowd outside the window at this moment, there were two figures standing in the window.
One of the women holding a mobile phone is quite beautiful, dressed extremely fashionably, and it is very attractive in the crowd, it is a beautiful young woman above the level, and on the side of the woman stands a sunny and handsome young man with eyebrows vaguely similar to Aunt Xiu, who looks like twenty-seven or eight.
"Ling Yu, why are you and Huaijun here? Such a coincidence. When Zhou Mingluo looked out the window, Aunt Xiu on the opposite side also let out a low scream.
The woman holding the mobile phone outside also squeezed out a smile on her face, but no matter how she looked at it, the smile was a little reluctant, and she quickly hung up the phone, and walked towards the door of the hotel with her steps, and the young man beside her also followed slowly.
"How did you meet them, if there is only one Huaijun, it's okay, hey, I'm afraid I won't be happy with this meal today."
At the same time, the surprise on Aunt Xiu's face gradually calmed down, and there was more bitterness.
Even Zhou Mingluo frowned slightly, Aunt Xiu's full name is Yang Huaixiu, the woman who was talking to her with her mobile phone just now, and the young man are not outsiders, the man is Aunt Xiu's younger brother Yang Huaijun, and the woman is Yang Huaijun's wife Ling Yu.
It would be a good thing to meet relatives and friends outside at other times, but that one is not very popular.
The situation of the Fang family is that Uncle Fang's parents are dead, there are no brothers and sisters, Aunt Xiu still has both parents alive, and there is also a younger brother.
A while ago, the Fang family was isolated and helpless, and when Aunt Xiu was still hesitating to sell the house, Yang's father and Yang's mother did not hesitate to take out 50,000 yuan, and even Yang Huaijun quietly took 40,000 yuan, which was the borrowed money.
And the conditions of the Yang family are not good, Yang's father and Yang's mother have retired, and they all rely on some pensions to live, and it is already the limit to be able to take out 50,000 yuan, as for Yang Huaijun, he is just a small clerk sitting in the office, and it is really benevolent and righteous to be able to take out 40,000 yuan at once.
But the key is that Ling Yu didn't agree with the money he took out, and as soon as Yang Huaijun mentioned that he wanted to fund his sister, Ling Yu turned his face directly, saying that he wouldn't let him go, and then he secretly sent it over, originally thought that Ling Yu could only accept it after causing the facts, but he didn't expect this one to refuse to give up, and made trouble more than once or twice, and a few times a person came to collect accounts from Aunt Xiu, although Yang Huaijun also worked hard for this, but that one was obviously a little afraid of guilt, and couldn't suppress this beautiful tigress at home, Until now, I heard that both of them seem to have some emotional crises.
This is also due to the fact that Yang Huaijun and Aunt Xiu have a good relationship with their two siblings, otherwise it would be extremely difficult for a person who is very afraid of his wife and is not wealthy to privately decide to take tens of thousands of yuan from his family to support others, even if this other person is not an outsider.
And that's what Aunt Xiu said about repaying the debt before, because their sister and brother have a good relationship, and she doesn't want to really make the other party have a conflict over this matter.
"Eldest sister, it turns out that you are eating here, it seems that life is good, and the grade of this Qingxiang restaurant is not low." Just when Aunt Xiu and Zhou Mingluo were a little wry, the two figures outside also walked in with the door of the hotel, and Ling Yu woke up directly to the table of the two, and opened his mouth with a chuckle, but his face was full of ridicule.
