Chapter 42 The tree is big and has dead branches
When Qu Yingying received a call from Cheng Ke, Zhang Shuqiu just stood up and toasted the first glass of wine.
As soon as Zhang Shuqiu heard that it was a fat woman who came to trouble her second aunt, she knew that it was Zhao Fen who came to make trouble again. quietly left the table under the pretense of answering the phone, and hurriedly ran home, just in time to meet Ning Ye, who was in the dust.
Zhang Shuqiu calmed Ning Ye and walked back, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a happy smile. Some things really print that sentence: a thought arises, thousands of rivers and mountains, a thought is extinguished, and the vicissitudes of life. It turns out that giving up the struggle with your heart is not so hard. Late that night, after she was told by Zhou Ting, she suddenly felt that maybe she could give it a try......
At the moment, it seems, it's not bad......
Ning Ye was appeased by Zhang Shuqiu, and turned back satisfied. Cheng Ke had already taken the children to finish their meal and play in the yard, and the second aunt and the eldest aunt sat at the dinner table, chatting while eating.
When the second aunt saw Ning Ye coming in, she hurriedly got up, and introduced with some embarrassment: "Xiao Ye, this is the eldest aunt," and said to the old lady: "This is Xiaoqiu's friend, named Ning Ye, and also a classmate of our Xiaoyun." ”
Ning Ye was very satisfied with the introduction of the second aunt, and greeted the eldest aunt with a smile. When Ning Ye sat down on the table with a bowl of rice, the two old men had already eaten almost enough. The second aunt smiled: "Xiao Ye, I asked you to watch a joke today." ”
"No, second aunt, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, don't take it to heart." Ning Ye comforted.
"This matter, it's a long story, don't listen to my unsuccessful daughter-in-law's nonsense, Xiaoqiu is a great favor to our family, they are all the two little ones in our family, I don't know what to do, hey......" The second aunt was afraid that her daughter-in-law's words would have a bad impact on Zhang Shuqiu here in Ning Ye, so she wanted to explain it clearly.
The eldest aunt saw what the second aunt meant, and probably knew in her heart that the person in front of her should be Zhang Shuqiu's boyfriend. Zhang Shuqiu's marriage, everyone can help sweat. He nodded and began to say, "This matter has to start with the eldest of our family." Originally, our place was very poor, and the entire Li family, the third child, that is, Xiaoyun's father, competed for luck, and when the college entrance examination was resumed, he passed the exam. Since then, this big family has been counting on the third foil. ”
"The third brother basically responds to these brothers' needs, but the two of them also earn dead wages, and Ah Heng became a lawyer part-time, which is considered to be better economically. At that time, we didn't have these tours or anything in this place, and we all lived on a little bit of land.
The eldest of our family did a small business in the city, and he didn't want the child to stay in the mountains, so he wanted to buy a house in the city so that the child could study. At that time, although the house was cheap, we still couldn't scrape together the money, so we went to the third child for help.
Later, the son of the fourth family settled in Shanghai, and he also found the third child to help, which is not a small number. The fourth family will definitely not be able to pay it for a while, so they transferred this piece of land, which is the house where Xiaoqiu lives, to the third child. We didn't know at the beginning, but when something happened to the second child's house, Ah Heng told us that the money was all from Xiaoqiu. ”
Speaking of this, the second aunt continued: "Hey, these two are angry children, and the third child also feels uplifted, and they have paid back all the money one after another over the years, and they have never forgotten their third uncle during the New Year." But the one in our family, I don't have the face to say. ”
The son of the second aunt's family is named Li Jianchang, and he can be regarded as the most unpopular one in Li Yun's generation. Li Jianchang couldn't study, so he followed his second uncle to drive a truck early to run transportation. But he has a particularly bad habit, which is to gamble.
On the first night of the second uncle's accident, Li Jianchang gambled outside until 3 o'clock in the middle of the night, got out of the car early the next morning, drove fatigued, had an accident on the highway, and overturned after hitting the car in front. The Santana in front was scrapped, and the driver driving inside died on the spot. The second uncle was seriously injured and later died in the hospital.
The second uncle couldn't close his eyes when he was dying, if he didn't have no choice, he couldn't wait to confess to his son and help him go to prison. He couldn't speak, but his eyes were full of tears and he looked at his younger brother Li Guangming. Li Guangming and this second brother are the closest, when Li Guangming went to school, his parents were not in good health, although the brothers had help, but the second brother was the most foiled. And during the time when Zhang Shuqiu was sick in the middle, it was the second aunt who put down the affairs of the family and went to Jiangcheng to guard her every day, and Zhang Heng was also very grateful.
In this case, Zhang Heng was responsible for contributing, and Zhang Shuqiu was responsible for contributing money, helping Li Jianchang get a suspended sentence and not go to jail.
Before Li Jianchang's accident, he had already said that he had a family affair, that is, his current wife Zhao Fen.
Zhao Fen's mother saw that something had happened to the Li family, and she didn't say that she would return her relatives, and she didn't want to return the bride price she received before, so she put forward two conditions, one was to add another 50,000 yuan to the bride price, and the other was to find a serious job for Jianchang. If the Li family can't do it themselves, it is the Li family who regrets the marriage, and don't want to get back the 50,000 bride price they gave before.
Li Jianchang has no education, and he has a criminal record, although it was a traffic accident, it is very difficult to find a job. Plus 50,000 yuan at that time is really not a small amount. The second aunt was in a dilemma, and she had nothing else to rely on, so she knew that she was crying in front of Li Guangming and his wife. Now, it was Zhang Shuqiu who paid the money, and Li Guangming who made the effort, and finally married this Zhao Fen into the door.
Who knows, after this Zhao Fen entered the door, it was an ancestor who entered the door.
At that time, Shishan began to develop tourism, the village re-planned, Li Guangming and the fourth brother gave him this land, near the newly built tourist road, and asked to rebuild the house according to the unified plan. Li Guangming's family is better, and he has been tinkering, but the fourth brother had built a house in his own land closer to the town earlier, and the original house was about to collapse. It happened that Zhang Shuqiu was on vacation at that time, so he came back to build a house.
Zhao Fen inquired left and right, and didn't know how to hear about the situation of the two families buying houses outside, so she wanted to force the second aunt to give her house to Zhang Shuqiu, and let her help buy a house in the city, but what she wanted was not to borrow money, but to directly exchange the old house here for a new house in the city.
Where did the second aunt dare to trouble Li Guangming's family again. Seeing that the second aunt should not order, Zhao Fen began to cry, make trouble, and hang herself, and pushed the second aunt twice to get angry. The most important thing is that Li Jianchang expressed indifference to Zhao Fen's unfilial mother's behavior.
Li Jianchang has his own calculations in his heart, and the things he did earlier made him unable to raise his head in the village for a long time, but he was suffering from inability and no money, otherwise he would not want to live in the village for a long time. In fact, he wished that Zhao Fen was making trouble in front of him, and if the trouble was big, the Li family members would naturally come forward. If Zhao Fen succeeded, he would naturally be happy, and he didn't succeed, and he just kept the status quo.
After making trouble for a long time, Zhang Shuqiu also figured out what Zhao Fen was messing with. Of course, this incident also alarmed the Li family.
Uncle Li couldn't see it, but he still summoned a large group to discuss how to solve this matter.
After Li Guangming and Zhang Heng figured out the reason, they were very angry. Zhang Heng simply had a showdown and took out the salary slips of his husband and wife. This trip, Li Jianchang and his wife naturally did not succeed, but the second aunt's life was even more difficult.
Zhang Shuqiu always remembered that back then, when she was sick, her second aunt took meticulous care, and there was even a moment when she held her in her arms and was so distressed that she shed tears. Zhang Shuqiu privately asked the second aunt if she was willing to move to the city with her son and daughter-in-law.
Because from the perspective of the second aunt, once the ancestral house is sold and a house in the city is bought, if her name is written on the real estate certificate, it will definitely set off a new round of family storms, and in the end, it is likely that her only property will become the property in the name of her son and daughter-in-law. As a direct consequence, she will have nothing.
Who knew that the second aunt had already had a nervous breakdown under the double pressure of her son and daughter-in-law, and she just wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible.
In desperation, Zhang Shuqiu had no choice but to persuade his aunt and uncle to complete the legal formalities and meet Zhao Fen's requirements. Despite this, Zhang Shuqiu still has deep worries in his heart. When the house was built, three rooms were rebuilt on the foundation of the second aunt in case of emergency.
Sure enough, within a few years, Zhang Shuqiu's hidden worries were confirmed. Zhao Fen saw that the child was older and could go to kindergarten, and she didn't need the help of her second aunt, so she began to dislike her for eating idle meals, and now she really started to beat people. Li Jianchang is obsessed with online games and only cares about his computer.
When Zhang Shuqiu and Zhang Heng went to see the second aunt, they found that she had lost so much weight that there was only a handful of bones left, and they took the second aunt back and let her live in peace in the newly built house, and stop thinking about this unfilial son and daughter-in-law. Zhang Shuqiu said that she asked her second aunt to help look after the house, but in fact, she was looking for a name to help her support the elderly.
Now, Li Jianchang and his family finally lived in peace for two years, and another major event happened. Li Jianchang is in charge of the waste warehouse in the unit, and some of the waste can also be supplied to other businesses. Li Jianchang usually only reports accounts once every six months, and during this period, there is a sum of public money in his hands, not much, just hundreds of thousands.
Li Jianchang listened to Zhao Fen and took out the money to Zhao Fen's relatives to do business, who knew that he was a liar. Everyone was arrested, and Zhao Fen knew that he was deceived. Zhao Fen cried in front of her second aunt again, which probably means that although it is a joint debt of husband and wife, Li Jianchang is embezzling public funds, if he can't make up for it, he will definitely go to jail, and once he goes to prison, he will definitely lose his job, so what can his daughter An An do in the future.
Otherwise, if you sell your house to pay off your debts, the family of three will have no place to live, so you can only follow the second aunt, and where the second aunt lives, they will live wherever they live. And she meant that it was cheaper to sell this house at the beginning, and now that the town is developing tourism, this land is worth a lot of money, so they should be given money.
The Li family and Zhang Shuqiu are together, but they are disgusted by these two people, the key is that the second aunt's daughter An An learns exactly like her mother, and she has no filial piety to the second aunt.
But the second aunt couldn't stand it and begged pitifully, Zhang Shuqiu had to come forward to be a villain, forcing Li Jianchang and Zhao Fen to sign a loan agreement, and signed it together before the Li family and the village branch were written, and there was no repayment date on the agreement, but it was necessary to ensure that the second aunt's life would not be harassed again, and he would not step into Li Guangming's house, otherwise he would have to pay off the arrears immediately.
In fact, this is just a compromise method, Zhang Shuqiu is just to buy a clean house for the second aunt and the Li family. This has indeed been clean for many years, if it weren't for the second aunt who went to the city this time, went to see An An, and gave money and bought things, Zhao Fen would not dare to harass again.
Auntie and second aunt, you said a word to me, and made this past story clear, Ning Ye's meal had already been eaten. The second aunt wiped her tears and said: "I don't know if I created sins or accumulated virtue in my previous life, gave birth to such a son, married such a daughter-in-law, but met a good child like Xiaoqiu." I only hate that my old bones don't die early, and always cause trouble for her, you must not misunderstand her, she is all dragged down by me......"
Ning Ye listened to such a complicated family matter, although he had a lot of confusion in his heart, he still comforted: "Second aunt, Xiaoqiu and Li Yun both like you, look at it, if it weren't for you, Xiaoqiu would be here alone, how lonely she is, just because you are here, this place is more like a home." There's nothing wrong with me, I've known their brother and sister for a day or two, so I naturally know very well what kind of character they are. You just have to be happy and live your life, and they will worry about anything else......"
The eldest aunt was not tired of listening to them talk about such a long family affair when she saw Ning Ye, and she made the second aunt laugh in a few words, and she was relieved to go back.
Cheng Ke is really a master with a baby, the children are tired of playing during the day, and after eating and taking a bath at night, they will soon be sleepy and go to sleep.
When Qu Yingying received the picture of the children sleeping from Cheng Ke, Yu Chuan was already a little drunk.
When Zhang Shuqiu and Qu Yingying helped Yu Chuan, who was a little messy, to go back, Cheng Ke and Ning Ye happened to be sitting in the living room on the first floor chatting with interest.
When Qu Yingying saw Ning Ye, the expression on her face changed again and again, but she could only hurriedly say hello, and helped Yu Chuan, who was blowing the wind and was no longer conscious, to sleep upstairs.
Zhang Shuqiu and Qu Yingying settled well in Yu Chuan, Qu Yingying smiled and joked to Zhang Shuqiu: "Is this afraid that you will run away?" It's really tight. ”
Zhang Shuqiu blushed and glanced at Qu Yingying and said, "Well, there is a tighter one downstairs, and wherever you go, you will soon become a personal bodyguard." ”
"I hate it, go and take a look, I see that Xingli is still in the living room, I let Cheng Ke sleep with Xiaobao, I am here looking at Xiaochuan, don't wait to vomit, there is no one in front of me." Qu Yingying waved her hand.
"Okay, I'll go down and have a look." Zhang Shuqiu nodded.
Cheng Ke saw Zhang Shuqiu go downstairs and entered the room where Xiaobao was sleeping with great eyes.
Ning Ye looked at Zhang Shuqiu, her hair was a little messy, her cheeks were flushed, and she couldn't help but feel a fever in her heart, and pulled her into her arms.
Zhang Shuqiu didn't resist, leaned on Ning Ye's arms very softly, and exhaled very comfortably, causing Ning Ye to unconsciously bend the corners of his mouth.
The room was dimly lit, quiet and empty, and the two of them hugged each other quietly, and they both felt extremely happy......
