Chapter 61: It's Good to Have an Ally
Thinking of this, Zhao Hemao suddenly opened, and the mess that had plagued him for days was completely unraveled.
It was right that He Qingdong grabbed her one step ahead of him, but in the end, it is still unknown who can hold the beauty.
Just like in a gambling game, the person who has a good start may not be able to win in the end. On the contrary, if you lose a few hands at the beginning, turn the tables again and again in the later stage, and finally win a big victory, that is the real winner.
"Thanks! Dot! He whistled at the nestlings in the nest and beckoned to the next taxi.
"Where?" After Wu Yue followed and got into the car, he asked slowly.
"Go back to the hotel first, then go to the airport."
"Are you really back in Kyoto?" Wu Yue looked at Zhao He, who seemed to have changed into a different person, and couldn't react for a while when he blinked.
"Hmm." Zhao He bent his lips and smiled, patted Wu Yue's shoulder, and called, "Wu Yue." β
"What?"
"Next semester, you can help me make up for the class. Whether it's a retake or a make-up exam, please take the time to make it up for me, I don't want to postpone graduation, or take another year, it's too embarrassing. β
Wu Yue: "......"
Young Master He, where have you been in the past three years? There is only the last year of college left, and it is only thought that you have completed the course?
However, thinking about it, Zhao, a scumbag who gave teachers of various subjects a headache, finally decided to rise up, as a confidant roommate, should he cry with joy and then run to tell each other?
β¦β¦
The people of the old He family, when they heard that He Xidong was admitted to Qingshi No. 1 Middle School, they were as happy as the second old man, envious as the second uncle, and the eldest aunt was jealous and deeply despised.
But no matter what these people think in their hearts, on the surface, they all say that they want to give gifts.
If you want to give gifts, you can't escape a banquet.
Fortunately, the second elder didn't say on the phone that he wanted to go to Qing City, which was mostly to let their family go back to Hejiabu and then entertain relatives and friends there.
It's even better!
He Mu came back from the phone call next door, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to He Wei: "Eighty percent is your second aunt who said the conditions when our family rented Jiangsan Lane, so many people came and there was no place to live, so they didn't say that they wanted to come to Qingshi." β
Father He nodded: "Then go back and set up two tables, and tell them about buying a house." β
"I still need you to teach!" Mother He glanced at him with disgust, walked into the room, and neatly washed rice and vegetables.
When there are no outsiders, the lunch and dinner of a family of four are eaten in the woodware shop, which saves the new family a lot of fumes.
He Wei helped Father He sort out the order list for a while, put the delivered ones in the drawer, and put the undelivered ones on the wall with small clips, so that Father He could look through them at any time, so as not to forget them.
After sorting out the order form, I walked inside and asked He Mu if she wanted help. He Mu handed her a small bag of edamame and asked her to sit outside and peel the bean meat and fry the shredded meat for a while.
At this time, He Xidong also came down from the attic, and showed He Wei a few newly taken photos of woodware like a treasure, and asked her to choose a few of the best ones, and planned to send them to the online store after dinner.
Since He Wei helped him choose once, He Xidong gave her this task.
It's not that he's lazy, but the photos were taken by him, and he will always be aesthetically tired if he sees too much. And the photos selected by my sister were uploaded to the online store, and the click rate was higher than the ones he picked, what does this mean? My sister's aesthetic ability is stronger than his. The so-called capable person works harder, and he unceremoniously handed over this task to her.
While peeling the bean meat, He Wei picked out the photos that she thought were good one by one, and when the bean meat was peeled, the photos were also selected.
Taking advantage of the fact that the family is there, He's mother stir-fried while flipping the old yellow calendar, and simply set the day to return to Hejiabu, August 23, which is an auspicious day for the zodiac, and it happens to be the small birthday of He's father's solar calendar.
So, for the next few days, the family was busy with themselves.
Father He is naturally in the store to catch up. He had to rush out in advance for the few days when he returned to Hejiabu, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to the customer.
He Mu is packing her luggage, since she is going to have a banquet, she has to prepare cigarettes and alcohol, right? So she asked Xiao Wang from the cigarette hotel next door to pre-order a few cigarettes and a box of eight-year-old glutinous rice wine. As for the other ingredients, she ran to the food and non-staple food wholesale market to get it, and if she didn't put it, she could only wait until she went back to the town to buy it.
He Xidong is still running at home and at the master's place. Pipe network shop when you are at home; I went to his master's place, and naturally I learned antique knowledge.
He Wei was not idle, in addition to taking care of the flowers and plants on the balcony at home that were often carried by He Xidong to the attic as photo props, the main thing was to go to Yuxiu Pavilion to do embroidery work. When I come back, I sometimes bring some silk thread and satin along the way. After eating in the evening, I had nothing to do, embroidered a few stitches, accumulated a few embroidery pictures, and then framed the photo frames that He's father had made and put at home, and hung them in the rooms of myself, my parents, and my brother.
Don't look at just a few small embroidery pictures, hang them on the wall, and suddenly add a bit of elegant charm to the home.
Of course, she picked out those embroidery samples with simple embroidery methods, even if people who know how to see it, they will praise at most "the embroidery is good", and put it in front of the father and mother and He Xidong who do not know how to do it, only that she is the result of running Yu Embroidery Pavilion every day, and there is no doubt at all.
Just when the family was vigorously busy preparing for the banquet back to Hejiabu, Lao He's family called and said, "There is no need to go back, the eldest family, except for Gangzi who is in charge of the store in the town, the other three have gone out to travel", which is Grandma He's original words.
Mother He immediately became angry and bloody, and asked Grandma He on the other end of the microphone: "Eminem, how can you do things like this?" I bought a lot of things, and the number of people at that time was also set by you, saying that it was two round tables, one table for my own family, and one table for cousins who came to give gifts, and now I say ......"
Grandma He interrupted Mother He impatiently: "It's not that I don't want you to invite, it's not that the boss's family is not there." Dongzi did well in the exam, and the two of us were happy, but when it comes to treating, we have to be the whole family to look good! Leaked the eldest family, what does it look like to pass it out...... Everyone knows about it, you tell Dongzi, let him enter the first middle school and do a good job, and come back with a good score in the New Year's exam, you and the third child will ask everyone to rub together......"
Hearing this, Mother He was so angry that she couldn't say a word, hung up the phone with a "click", and went back to her store in a rage.
When Father He saw her like that, he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" Didn't Xiao Wang say a call from his hometown? Who came? β
"Who else!" As soon as Mother He spoke, the two lines of tears of "Huh" came down, and while sobbing, she told Grandma He's words to Father He as they were.
When Father He heard this, his face turned pale with anger. What does that mean? Originally, their family did not have the intention of receiving gifts or treats, and it was only after the hometown said that they decided to go back to hold a wine banquet. Now that everything is almost ready, he said that he didn't need to invite him, oh, he wanted them to change it to the Chinese New Year and go back to invite it again. What does this day mean, do you treat them as family? Or are they deliberately humiliating their family?
One of them silently wiped his tears, the other sulked, and Xiao Wang next door shouted there: "Lao He! Sister-in-law of the He family! And your phone numberβ"
He Mu wiped away her tears, rubbed her red and swollen eyes, and got up to pick them up.
This time it was the second aunt of the He family who came.
"Wanfen, did Eminem call you just now and ask you not to come to make wine for Dongzi?" The second aunt asked on the other end of the phone in a suppressed voice.
"yes. What kind of thing do you think this is! We have prepared a lot of things in our house......" He Mu saw that there were more allies, and Balabala vented the depression in her heart.
After hearing this, the second aunt sneered and said, "Eminem is saving face for the eldest family, what kind of travel, it's almost the same as running out to avoid debts." β
"Huh?" He Mu was stunned, "What the hell is going on?" β
"What else can I do! He Boss's gambling nature does not change, two days ago it was exposed that the big debt came, this time it was even more outrageous, some said more than one million, some said three million, the specific number I don't know, I only know that it is the last time the debt was paid off after the new debt, said that it is not believed in evil, it will definitely be able to turn around, the result is good, the loan shark there is a lot of interest arrears, and the interest can not be paid before poking it out......"
"Huh! My sister-in-law came to ask our family to borrow 500,000 yuan, saying that the steel business would pay us back first, and only by believing in her would there be a ghost! I asked our family before that the loan had not been repaid, and this was a new debt, and I replied to her directly: at most 100,000 yuan, is there more. The little money in the family was saved for Xinxin to study in college and beg for her daughter-in-law, and it was given to her, what will our family do in the future? β
She said I don't know, the goods in the steel store have been moved by the creditor, how can it be possible to rely on this money in a short time? If it weren't for the fact that the loan shark with a three-cent interest rate is not supported by the law, eighty percent of this matter would have been stabbed to the court, and none of the houses and cars could be saved, so how could they have to hide from the debts as soon as the courtyard door was closed......
The second aunt spat and spoke, and finally concluded her statement: "In short, the eldest family is a big deal this time." β
After answering the phone, He Mu returned to the store with a strange expression.
Father He looked at her in wonder, and was about to ask her who was calling this time, so that her face was not as ugly as before after answering, could it be that there was some good news in her hometown?
Without waiting for him to ask, He Mu poured beans into the bamboo tube and told the second aunt about the news.
Father He was also stunned when he heard this.
More than a million? Million? Or ask the loan shark for gambling debts!
Boss He, is this the rhythm of "as long as today is not tomorrow"?
When the He Wei brothers and sisters came back, they saw their parents sitting there sighing for a long time, and they hadn't even picked up rice for dinner, so they couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Dad?" Mother? What's going on? What's going on at home? β
"It's not our family, it's your uncle's family."
Mother He told the two children about this in the afternoon, and sighed at the end: "In order to help the eldest family, your grandmother lied to me and said that she was going to travel, in the final analysis, it was not that our family was poor, and she didn't even ask us how much money we could make up to borrow the boss......
But this time, Mother He wronged Grandma He.
When the creditor came to the door, Grandma He first cried and grabbed the ground, and when the convulsions passed, how could she not give her eldest son an idea and ask him to ask her two younger brothers to borrow money to raise money?
It's just that the eldest uncle wants to save face, firstly, she is still resentful of He Wei for stealing Uncle He's gambling luck, and secondly, the feng shui takes turns, for fear that after the third family knows, they will laugh at them in turn, so they forced Grandma He not to say it.
"I came and asked Mom, will you borrow it?" He Xidong loosened his shoulders for He Mu and asked funny.
"Of course not! You couldn't afford to go to school at that time, did your uncle and aunt squeak and say that they wanted to borrow us? I didn't even see them fart! They're still gambling debts! Not to mention that our family can't come up with a few dollars, and we resolutely don't borrow if we can! He Mu said categorically.
"That's it, Mom, what are you struggling with?" He Xidong's three sentences smoothed the depression in He's mother's heart.
Also! If it weren't for the second concubine who secretly revealed the news, their family wouldn't have known about it at all. Since the second elder would rather make excuses than tell their family the truth, they are happy to match this cooperation and treat it as if they don't know, and it is a serious matter to manage their small family and children well.
As for the pile of ingredients that were originally going to be brought to Hejiabu to feast on relatives, what to do? Easy to do! Invite my daughter's teacher and her family to have a light meal at home to repay the favor, so happily decided!
A few days later, Mother He was urging the two children to prepare supplies for the start of the new semester, and the second aunt called again.
Xiao Wang next door shouted at Mother He, and his daughter-in-law sat on the counter and stabbed in a weird manner: "Two calls come in three days, where is the telephone in our house still called a public phone, I think it should be changed to your He family's hotline." β
When He Mu heard this, the smile on her face was immediately replaced by embarrassment.
It's still the second uncle who called.
said that Boss He's gambling debts were paid off, and it was the eldest concubine who begged her brother for help.
The eldest concubine's mother's family also started in the steel business, and the family background is naturally not thin, and now it is the head of the family with two sons. But if they don't say a word, they take out 3 million to help their brother-in-law pay off his gambling debts, which is a matter that no one has. No one is stupid, let alone a businessman, shrewd.
Uncle He asked He's mother to guess what the two brothers and sisters-in-law of the eldest concubine promised to help Boss He pay off the three million gambling debts.
"Charge some bank interest?"
"Confiscate a centim of interest, but it's much more ruthless than bank interest!" Uncle He's voice was full of laughter, and she explained to He's mother: "The old family's three-story building, the storefront room in the town, and a car and a van were all transferred to the sister-in-law's two maiden brothers. But the eldest family is still using it, the house is still lived in by them, the car is also driven by them, and the storefront in the town is managed by them, but how much money they make is not something they can get, but the mother's brother will pay the two of them, and when the three million debts are paid off, they can redeem the house, car, and shop......"
"Poof!" He Mu almost choked on her own saliva, "There is still such a help?" β
"Not really! After we heard about it, we were dumbfounded, but if we think about it carefully, this is also a helpless way, otherwise, Boss He will run out to gamble again, and the sister-in-law will really look for death and life. Now it's okay, the matter has spread all over the town, everyone knows that Boss He has no family background, and he still lives with his mother's brother, and then goes out to gamble, and no one is willing to lend him if he loses money, and if he can't get it back, those people ask for it......"
ββ¦β¦ But in this way, the face of the eldest family in the village and town is completely ruined. Don't you know, when I saw them coming back from my mother-in-law's house that day, their faces were ugly, and Daddy Eminem was so angry that he almost couldn't get out of bed, and he sighed all day long......"
"But Wanfen, I kindly advise you, this matter, you should not know it, don't come back, sister-in-law is here, and she is still talking bad about your Weiwei in front of Daddy Eminem, this heart is really smaller than a needle......"
Hanging up the phone, He's mother was in a complicated mood.
When I returned to the store, after telling Father He about this, I couldn't help but complain: "Was the head of the two of them kicked by a donkey?" It's come to this point, and I'm still complaining about our family Weiwei. Did Weiwei ask her uncle to gamble? Or did Weiwei let her uncle lose the gamble and go to the loan shark? is so old and even hugged his granddaughter, and he is still so confused......"
But-
She raised her tone and couldn't help but say: "Boss He really kicked the iron plate and a dead crab this time, Baba ran to his mother-in-law's house to borrow money to pay off the gambling debt, and in the end, the debt was repaid, and there was no house, car, or storefront left." is equivalent to his two wives and uncles, who bought them for three million. The people who have been doing business for decades are different from us, they have a lot of flowers, and if you want me, where do you want to get this kind of help......"
Anyway, it's finally settled. Although He's father and mother have repeatedly discussed and decided: even if the eldest family comes to the door, they will not use their hard-earned money to lend them to pay off gambling debts, but after all, they were born to the same father and mother, and if it has not been resolved, and I heard that borrowing usury will not be cut off or something, I will always feel uncomfortable. Now that it has been solved, everyone is naturally happy. As for how aggrieved Boss He's family will be in the next days, it's not for them to manage.
After that, Grandma He called again, saying that the eldest family was back, and asked them when they would go back to make wine for Dongzi?
Mother He was laughed at angrily, she really took their family for fools! Bullying them for not having eyeliner in Hejiabu?
At this moment, Mother He suddenly felt that it was good to have an ally like Eryujiao, and as soon as there was any disturbance in Hejiabu, Eryujiao would call to inform her. Otherwise, his family would really be kept in the dark and deceived by the second elder.
So, He's mother turned around and told the second aunt the address of her new home, didn't He Xin read it in Qingshi No. 2 Middle School? After the summer vacation, he will be in his third year of high school, and he usually doesn't go home on weekends, so if he thinks the food in the canteen is poor, he just comes to eat at home. Now that the house is big and the bed is big, if you can't go back to school in time, it won't be a problem to sleep with He Xidong.
However, the second aunt thought that it was their newly rented house, so she didn't put this matter at ease, and only said that she would talk to He Xin when she came back, so that he could come if he wanted to. As a result, He Xin was thin-skinned, and felt that the last thing had been, and he lost face and made a big ugly appearance in front of He Wei's family, and heard his mother say that he had to go to the third uncle's house for dinner on the weekend, but he didn't come until he graduated from high school.
As a result, He Wei's family moved to a new house, bought a new shop, and the living conditions have risen a lot, and it has never reached the ears of those people in their hometown. R1152
