Volume 1 The Beginning of the Journey Chapter 24 The Reason for the Matter [Ask for Recommendation, Collection]
Seeing his father and his sister regard themselves as transparent people, Wang Jue immediately realized that it was impossible for them to say good things for him.
The real master of their family is not his father, but his mother.
If it was in normal times, they would have helped themselves, but now that their mother is obviously angry, they are not stupid, how can they set themselves on fire, and they are not comfortable finding themselves?
"Okay, you were born to me, I don't know you yet?"
The queen mother can't beat her own family, scolding is not the same thing, a faceless and skinless son, she really feels very helpless, but helpless, no matter what her son is, the mother still feels sorry for her son: "Come back so late, have you eaten?" Do you want to get you something to eat?"
"Eat, I ate outside with Luoshui before I came back, hehehe......"
"After eating, I quickly go back to my room, and I will be annoyed when I see you. ”
"No problem, I'll go now, don't be angry, it's too angry to hurt your body. ”
"Why are you talking so much bullshit?
Wang Jue: "......"
With no family status, he didn't dare to speak again, so he could only honestly go back to his room.
Wang Jue, who turned around and walked towards his room, frowned slightly.
He could easily feel that the atmosphere in the house was obviously not right at this time.
It's almost half past nine in the evening, and if it is normal according to normal circumstances, my parents should come home at this time, and my sister has already gone to bed.
Like now, a family of three is waiting for him, especially when he notices that although the expressions on the faces of his parents are well concealed, he is still aware of his worries.
From all the above weirdness, he dared to pat his chest, definitely something happened that he didn't know.
Could it be that something happened to the noodle shop?
Or something else?
Wang Jue, who was puzzled, returned to his room, he was a little worried about the strange situation at home, he naturally didn't have much heart to cultivate, and he originally planned to surprise his parents after getting the subsidy money tomorrow.
Although the subsidy he received was only 60,000 yuan, which was not much compared to other students, this money should allow his noodle restaurant to buy some other ingredients of better quality and add several different flavors of noodles to the store.
After all, always eating one kind of noodles will make people feel tired after a long time!
However, when he thought of the strange situation in his family now, he was not a fool, and naturally knew that this matter should not be as simple as he liked.
And it doesn't seem to be an ordinary thing, otherwise his parents wouldn't have shown this kind of worry that he could detect after trying his best to hide it.
Wang Jue, who was lying on the bed, felt that it was not a solution to know nothing, at least he had to figure out what the situation was.
So, he decided to go to his sister first to ask, his father didn't have to think about it, as long as his mother was there, even if he wanted to say it, he didn't dare to tell himself.
As for the angry mother, it is not very likely, the safest is still his sister, he believes that with the character of that girl who sees money, he should still be able to ask something if he gives money.
Thinking of this, Wang Jue got up from the bed without any hesitation and quickly slipped out of the room, but he didn't expect that as soon as he stepped into the living room, he encountered a thunderous attack from his mother: "You don't want to stay in the room to study, what are you running out for?"
"Hey, Mom, haven't you slept yet?" Wang Jue's body stiffened, and he looked at the place where his mother was sitting with some embarrassment, but found that his father and sister were actually gone, and now his mother was left alone in the living room.
The queen mother said expressionlessly: "What about you, what are you doing when you don't study in the room?"
"It's not that I don't want to study, I studied well, but I don't know when there are mosquitoes in the room that have been 'buzzing' non-stop, I searched the whole room and didn't find mosquito repellent, so I plan to go and get the bathroom first. Wang Jue's desire to survive is bursting, and he is in a hurry.
He knows that at this critical moment, if he wants to deal with his angry mother and avoid being scolded again, the best thing to use is these usual trivial things.
Really.
When the queen mother heard this, she didn't suspect it, and still sat on the sofa and didn't move, but when Wang Jue was secretly happy that she had escaped a catastrophe, and was about to walk towards the bathroom, she heard her mother's voice ringing out: "Okay, you don't need to go to the bathroom to get it, I know where the mosquito repellent in your room is, I'll go in and find it for you." ”
Wang Jue: "......"
Pill!
No, Mom, shouldn't you continue to sit on the couch and get angry?
Why did the anger disappear all at once?
In the end, Wang Jue's idea of going to the bathroom was shattered, and he had to follow his mother into his room dejectedly.
As soon as she entered the room, the queen mother saw that Wang Jue had no books on the table, and the very conspicuous mosquito repellent on the table, her face suddenly sank, and she turned her head and said, "Say, what do you want to do when you leave the room?"
When she saw the bottle of mosquito killer on the table, she knew that Wang Jue was not looking for mosquito killer at all.
Wang Jue's eyes were a little wandering, and he didn't dare to look at his mother at all.
The atmosphere became a little oppressive for a while.
After half ringing.
The queen mother's voice regained its usual gentleness, and it sounded in Wang Jue's small room: "Do you honestly confess yourself, or do you want to experience the 'pain of flesh and skin' before explaining?"
Don't look at the queen mother's voice is very gentle, but there is a chill in her words that makes Wang Jue creepy.
"I'm grown up now, don't you beat people like you did when you were a child?" Wang Jue knows that the softer her mother's voice is, the more angry she is, and she understands that if she continues to pretend to be stupid, then there will definitely be no good fruit to eat.
"If you don't want to be beaten, you can be honest about your purpose. The Queen Mother half-squinted, and her voice became softer, but the chill in her words became heavier.
"Actually, I was going to go to Xiao Yu'er just now to ask if something happened at home?"
Sensing that his mother was on the verge of breaking out, in order to prevent his mother from cleaning up herself, Wang Jue had no choice but to bite the bullet and directly asked the doubts in her heart: "Don't think about hiding it from me, let alone trying to fool me, I'm no longer a child, nor a fool." ”
"Uh......"
Hearing this, the Queen Mother's face changed slightly, and she was a little hesitant to say it.
"Mom, I'm also a part of this family, I have the right to know what's going on at home, and the exam is less than a month away, if you don't want me to affect the exam with my crankiness, then you can tell me everything. ”
Looking at the hesitation on his mother's face, Wang Jue struck while the iron was hot, not wanting to let go of such a good opportunity in vain: "To tell you the truth, I haven't had much heart to study since I went back to the room just now, and I've been thinking about this all the time." You don't have to think about lying to me, if it wasn't for something happening in the store, you wouldn't be at home at this time normally, but just came back, if you don't say it, then I'll take leave tomorrow to go to the store to have a look. ”
In the past, the royal father and queen mother paid great attention to Wang Jue's learning, but now even if Wang Jue breaks through and becomes a martial artist, they still haven't changed their attitude.
The main thing is that they know that on the one hand, their families can't afford the consumption of martial artists, and on the other hand, they know very well how talented their sons are.
In their eyes, it took their son more than nine years to break through, which is enough to prove that he can't go far on the road of martial arts.
Instead of wasting time on this road that you know will not lead to results, it is better to put all your mind on studying.
After all, there is no better way out for a poorer family like theirs than to study.
"This ......"
After hearing Wang Jue's words, the queen mother showed a tangled look on her face, frowned and was silent for a few seconds, and finally made up her mind, she gritted her teeth and said: "Okay, in order not to let you think nonsense, I can tell you the matter, in fact, this matter has nothing to do with our family's noodle restaurant, and it has nothing to do with our family." ”
"It's not a noodle shop, it's not our family's business?"
Wang Jue frowned slightly, as if he thought of something, he was a little surprised: "There are not many things that can worry you and your father, except for me and Xiao Yu'er, the rest is my aunt's family, won't I really guess it, right?"
"That's right, it does have something to do with your aunt's family, but it's not a family matter, but a hotel business. The Queen Mother nodded with a wry smile.
Hearing her mother talk about her aunt's hotel, Wang Jue instantly became clear.
Although on the surface, their family only has a small noodle restaurant, but in fact, his parents and aunt opened a restaurant together.
It's not true to say that it opens together.
In fact, it should be that their family lent money to their aunt to open a restaurant a long time ago.
At the beginning, Wang Jue was still young, and the family's noodle restaurant business was just right, and he made some money.
At that time, my aunt Liu Wenting came to Wang Jue's parents to borrow money, saying that she wanted to open a restaurant by herself.
For Wang Jue's only relative and aunt, his parents naturally borrowed the money without saying a word.
At first, my aunt's restaurant didn't have much business, but it slowly improved.
Although the aunt's restaurant made some money, they had planned to pay it back slowly one by one, and the rest of the money would be used for the hotel, so that the hotel could have enough money to continue operating.
Unexpectedly, after those relatives learned that someone had taken the money they borrowed, they all came to the door together, and what made the aunt's family even more stunned was that after these relatives wanted back the money they lent to the aunt's family, they were very shameless and asked them for interest.
At that time, there were a lot of disputes between the two parties over this matter, and the husband of the aunt saw through these relatives, and did not hesitate to return all the principal and interest to them at the risk of the hotel closing.
For this reason, their hotel was closed for a period of time, and they had to borrow money from Wang Jue's parents again to reopen the hotel.
Maybe it's related to the sudden closure of the hotel before, but the business has not been very good when it opens again, and it can barely keep it at a loss, but it can't make much money.
It may be that the aunt and her husband felt that they couldn't always owe money to their brother-in-law's family, so they proposed that the money lent to their family should simply be regarded as a joint venture between the two families and jointly managed by both parties.
It's just that the royal father refused on the grounds that he had a noodle restaurant, and just told them that the restaurant was still theirs, and they would return the money to themselves when they had enough money in the future.
After so many years, my aunt's restaurant has not made any money, at most it is just a mix of food and clothing, so that the money owed has not been repaid.
Although the money has not been repaid, the relationship between the two of them has not changed much, but it is better than before.
