Chapter 268
268
Mother said, "Xiao Shen, speaking of which, you have never eaten at my place." I know, it's not that you don't have time to come to Mom's place, it's that you don't think much about coming here to meet Mom. Alas, it's useless to blame me for talking about it, these days, it's really getting worse and worse. You also saw it just now, our husband and wife sold a few loads of rice and made a little money to get through this year. We're getting worse and worse!
However, there are many people who are getting better and better. Take our village as an example, some families have built a three-story house, not to mention, they have to go to the city to buy a big house. Oh, speaking of which, our family is so poor that we don't have a face to see. Sometimes I wonder if I had left your father and son and gone with a rich man, it would have been a different story.
Well, if that's the case, I can help you when you need money the most, and maybe even when you buy a house and start a family. Then you will be grateful to me, you will come to see me every now and then, and we will have a good time between mother and son.
However, the reality is too chilling. I don't blame you, because I know it's not easy for you to get into what you are today. When life is not good, it is boring to talk about this and that. Xiao Shen, do you know why Mom is getting worse and worse here? Actually, you can't blame Uncle Lai, because he is a person who has been injured for decades.
Therefore, he can't go out to work to earn money like other rural laborers, and our family has been confused for so many years. Your Uncle Lai is a good person, but he is easy to be impulsive. He used to use knives in fights with people. He stabbed someone. But at the same time, he was also stabbed. He was a hero. But as soon as this injury falls, it will be a lifetime affair. As he got older, the injury seemed to be getting worse again.
Oh, you see, our family has no way to make money in the first place, and there is still such a thing wrapped in it! You say, "Can you live a good life?" Your brother is also a very uncompetitive person! We were counting on him to be like you.
Because you don't have any great skills. But you're self-conscious. You don't need to be supervised when you're studying, and the conditions are not good, but your grades are very good. Later, you just finished your normal education on your own. If your brother can be like you, then we will be happy. Because a boy can do his own big things, it's easy to be a parent!
But your brother is so disappointing, he just doesn't want to study hard. When he was studying, his grades were so bad that he couldn't learn from you. Find your way by reading. After graduating from high school, I sent him to work as an apprentice outside to learn the trade. But he couldn't learn anything, and he spent all the money we had worked so hard to save.
He is now just a fool all day long, either watching TV and sleeping at home, or hanging out with the few young people in the village, going crazy on the streets of Huangzhen or in the city. He couldn't earn a penny, on the contrary, in order to go out crazy, he still had to ask us for money.
This is also something that can't be helped, and there are many young people like him now. However, this is the most worrying thing for us as a couple. Because we are getting older, if he doesn't settle down as soon as possible, what will he do in the future?
Our husband and wife were born like this, we have been poor for so many years, and we are used to it, and we don't have any ideas when we get old. But if your brother doesn't do it well, he will definitely not be able to marry a wife in the future, and then he will be a bachelor for the rest of his life. He has no brothers and sisters, and when we leave, he will have no relatives. Oh, by the way, he still has your brother. But I don't think you're going to pay attention to him.
We talked a lot to him, but he just couldn't hear it. He also told us that he went crazy to solve his personal problems. He said that it was precisely because our parents did not create good conditions for him that he could only spend a little money to deceive other little girls outside. If you really deceived a little girl to come back to be a wife, wouldn't you take a shortcut?
Ouch, your brother was still very eloquent when he said this, and your uncle Lai also helped him, saying that this is also a good way. Are they stupid, do you think they're stupid? If this was similar 20 years ago, how could it work now? Yes, there are some little girls who don't have enough brains and are easy to be deceived.
However, now people see the little things between men and women as simpler, and they are thicker than before. When people are happy, they will follow you everywhere and spend your money; If you are not happy, you will run immediately. People with poor conditions, even if they deceived the little girl at the beginning, as long as she came over to live a hard life for a while, she would definitely be uncomfortable and ran away soon. Now there are so many of them!
I guess that's your brother's excuse for being lazy. He doesn't bother with his own business, but the pressure on us is getting bigger and bigger. If we don't solve his affairs properly, we live in the countryside and are always scolded behind our backs.
Xiao Shen, I know that your conditions are getting better and better, and now you have become a city person again. You have a lot of classmates who work outside, so you should have a wide range of paths. I know that the policeman surnamed Shen at the police station on the street is your classmate, and you are still good buddies. Do you see if you can use your brains, spend money to find someone to trust you, and find a good way out for your brother?
You think, if your brother gets better in the future, it will actually be beneficial to you. For when I am old, it goes without saying that I will still need you two brothers to share the burden. If your brother doesn't look good, then the blame falls entirely on you. You can't run away from this, because without me how can you be?
Heck, I don't want to say more, you come over after the New Year and take me to your house in the city to play. If you are generous, bring your Uncle Lai with you, we are all relatives. By the way, you can write me your phone number, and I'll call you if there's anything. ”
Speaking of which, the mother has already picked the vegetables. She rubbed her hands and prepared to find a pen and paper for Zhu Yushen to write down her phone number. Zhu Yushen said that there was no need, because he carried paper and pen with him. After he finished writing, Lai Wu returned.
Lai Wu said: "Our place is so bad that we have to travel several miles to buy some meat dishes." Mr. Zhu is from the city now, you see, our environment here is really bad! So it's normal that you don't want to come here to see your mother. However, we are getting older, and I am not in good health. Maybe in a few years, I'll be going down.
You see, I'm much better tempered now than I used to be, right? Because when you're old, people can't do it anymore, what do you always do? I'm thinking, if I go down that day, your mother will be pitiful. When the time comes, you will take her to you. That son of ours can't count on it, and sooner or later he's going to be caught in jail.
Okay, without further ado, we're really going to have to move around more in the future. You know, people say that poor people have no relatives. Our family is poor, and none of our relatives and friends can afford us. So I'm glad you're here today. ”
When they spoke, Zhu Yushen didn't say anything, he just answered quietly. He felt that the atmosphere today was not bad, better than he had imagined. (To be continued......)
