In the evening, Xue Xinyan and I walked around the villa, where the terrain is quiet and the scenery is pleasant, which is really a treasure of feng shui for home care.

Even the streets were cleaned, and the laurel trees on both sides of the streets were growing unscrupulously, and the dense green leaves were swaying in the wind.

I have lost the burden of my heart, and with the people I love the most, I have to learn to be content and enjoy life.

Dinner was eaten at the lady's house, and the housekeeper looked very inconspicuous, but made a good dish, such as shredded chicken with fish flavor, pork ears with green peppers, roasted tofu with curry, and cabbage soup with shrimp skin, and the staple food was tofu cake with meat foam and steamed buns.

Several home-cooked dishes are full of color and flavor, and the dishes are fragrant, which makes me, a foodie, suddenly have an appetite.

The lady instructed the housekeeper to bring a bottle of red wine and three goblets, and she personally poured me half a glass, which made me a little flattered, and I glanced at Xue Xinyan in embarrassment, and she threw me a wink and signaled me not to make a fuss.

After filling their glasses, the lady said, "Today is the first time you have come to the house for dinner, and I apologize for the inconsiderate things you have done before." ”

She said with sincerity and seriousness, which made me even more uncomfortable, compared with the previous lady, the contrast between her now is too great, and it was difficult for me to accept it for a while.

The three of us clashed glasses, and the lady took a big sip of her head, put down the cup, and motioned for me to eat the vegetables.

I took a sip, and the bitter liquid ran through my esophagus and into my stomach, making me grin.

"What's wrong?"

Xue Xinyan clipped me a piece of pig ear, and when she saw me baring her teeth, she looked at me curiously.

"Uh, it's fine."

I hurriedly ate two bites of food to suppress the bitter and choking smell, isn't red wine sweet, how does this red wine taste like this, I looked at the wine bottle on the table, there were a few strings of unintelligible letters written on it.

The lady looked at me and frowned, then picked up the bottle, shook it slightly, and said lightly: "This is French red wine, French law divides French wine into 4 grades, AOC wine, fine regional table wine, regional table wine, and daily table wine." ”

I listened as if I didn't understand, and Nuo Nuo asked, "Then what grade of red wine are we drinking?" ”

The lady placed the bottle on the table, rolled her eyelids, and a mocking gaze swept over me, making me shudder.

"Guess..."

I guess? When did the lady still have such a naughty side?

"Wines from the best regions?"

I looked at the lady with a confused face, and casually said a level.

"Correct."

The lady drank the red wine with satisfaction, but did not eat the vegetables, she looked at me for a moment, and said thoughtfully: "Wang Tao, I don't stop you from having a relationship with my daughter, but have you considered the problem of the house?" ”

She held the goblet in her hand, shook it slightly, and looked at me with a pleasant face, which made me feel very uncomfortable.

I glanced at Xue Xinyan, who was playing with her phone with her head down, completely uninvolved in my conversation with the lady.

I was speechless for a while, I don't know what to say, I did think about the problem of the house, and last time the scumbag brother also reminded me, either go out to rent an apartment, or rent a decent residential building, always squeezed in the basement is definitely not a way, but now I am penniless, only the lady gave me 200,000, and the purchase also cost more than 30,000, including the recent diet and living expenses, also spent a lot, leaving more than 160,000, buying a house and paying a down payment is not enough.

The lady seemed to see my unspeakable secret, she leaned back, leaned back in the chair, looked away from my face, looked at Xue Xinyan and said, "Xinyan, how many times have I told you, don't play with your mobile phone during dinner." ”

Although it is a reprimand, the words contain a lot of warmth.

Xue Xinyan clicked on her phone a few more times, then pouted and glanced at the noble lady, picked up the chopsticks, and ate tastelessly.

The noble lady sat next to Xue Xinyan, and when she saw Xue Xinyan's bangs scattered on her forehead, she helped her brush them behind her ears, showing a doting tenderness on her face.

"I asked you to come over today, I want to tell you two things, the first thing has already been told to you in the afternoon, so now I will tell you the second thing."

The lady sandwiched a piece of meat for Xue Xinyan, and took out two tissues to wipe her mouth.

I was sad, put down the chopsticks in my hand, picked up the goblet, and drank a large sip of unpleasant red wine, the sour taste instantly rushed into my brain, choking me even coughing a few times, and tears were squeezed out.

Xue Xinyan hurriedly handed me two napkins, patted me lightly on the back, and said with a worried face: "It's okay, why are you choking, let's drink saliva." ”

The butler poured a glass of water, and I took two sips to suppress the sour taste.

"You don't need to be so nervous, these two things that I talked to you about today are in your favor."

The lady looked flat and took a sip of wine.

I didn't answer, and the lady still gave me a trick and let me use my imagination, which was nothing short of torment, and the devil knew what she wanted to say to me.

"I bought you and Xinyan a house."

The lady waved her hand, and the butler came over, holding a key in his hand, and handed it to the lady.

Xue Xinyan and I were stunned, at a loss, and our faces were incredulous except for surprise.

"This house is in a relatively good location in the city, 160 square meters, enough for your little two to live."

Could it be that she called me today and wanted to talk about this, I was extremely depressed in my heart, and my face was flushed with an unnatural purple, how could I Wang Tao He De ask for her things for nothing, I am just a country man, a vulgar person, I can't afford such a big gift.

I stood up with a hula, my excitement mixed with a little inferiority, my body trembled slightly, looking at the door key in the lady's hand, like a boulder pressing on the bottom of my heart, suffocating me, and making me unable to accept it.

"I'm sorry, I can't."

Xue Xinyan tugged at the corner of my clothes next to me and motioned for me to sit down.

"Don't be burdened."

The lady slowly pushed the key next to my chopsticks, and added: "I lent you this house, and you have to repay my principal and interest every month, of course, my interest rate is much lower than that of the bank, how about it, isn't it too much?" ”

It's really not too much, she just wants to help me in disguise, and also give me the motivation and determination to struggle, this trick is really too clever.

I sat down slowly, Xue Xinyan took my hand, looked at the lady and said, "How much do you pay back in a month?" ”

The lady slowly pulled up her sleeve and said unhurriedly, "It depends on how much he can repay." ”

I secretly calculated in my heart, this 160-square-meter house in the urban area, in this city, if I buy it in full, how can I get three or four million, just three million, I will repay 10,000 yuan a month, 12 months a year, 120,000 yuan a year, and then I have to repay it for 25 years.

I'm twenty-nine years old, and in twenty-five years I'm no longer fourteen, what else can I do? I have paid off the mortgage over the years, not counting the expenses after marrying Xue Xinyan, having a child, from birth to school, it is an amazing amount of money in the future, which is unimaginable.

"I can't ask for this house."

I calm down, even if it is given to me by a noble lady, I can't take other people's things for nothing, although I am now a poor man, penniless, and a stinky skin, it does not mean that I have to accept her gift to live.

"What, are you afraid that you won't be able to repay the loan and will be kicked out by me?"

The noble lady scoffed, and a layer of gloom instantly added to her haughty expression.

I didn't want to argue with her, so I grabbed a napkin, wiped my mouth, walked over to the couch, picked up my coat, and was about to leave.

Seeing this, Xue Xinyan hurriedly got up and came to my side, and whispered: "Where are you going so late, this villa is a wilderness outside, and there is no hotel nearby, stay here for the night, and I will drive you back tomorrow." ”

I was very flustered inside, although this matter is really good for me, I don't have to pay any expenses, just take the key to open the door and move in, but there is always a voice in my heart telling me that this house can't be for nothing, even if you want it, you can't do it in this way.

The lady walked slowly with a goblet in her hand.

"I just said, you don't have any psychological burden, I didn't say how much you want to pay me back every month, within the range you can bear, you can pay as much as you want."

I stood there with my coat in my hand, my eyes lowered, and my expression gloomy.

"You think about it, it's already dark, stay here tonight, Du Chenyu will send you back tomorrow, and you have to think clearly about studying abroad, answer me tomorrow morning, don't be too late."

With that, she drank the rest of the red wine in her glass.

"Aunt Zhang, make the bed for the guest."

She shouted, stared at me for two more seconds, then turned back to the table, picked up the bottle, poured half a glass of red wine into the glass, and sat there alone, in the dim light, her back felt a sad loneliness.

There is a guest room on the north side of the first floor, and the housekeeper walks in with a quilt and is busy making the bed.

Xue Xinyan and I looked at the back of the noble lady, glanced at each other again, and slowly walked towards her.

The lady had drunk a little too much, her face was red, her hair was disheveled, her eyes were misty, she stared at a white porcelain plate on the dining table, her goblet resting on her chest, leaning back and leaning on the backrest.

"Drink less."

Xue Xinyan sat beside the noble lady and complained softly.

The lady turned around and saw Xue Xinyan sitting in front of her, her face suddenly smiled, she gently stroked Xue Xinyan's hair, and said lightly: "You have grown so big, it is your mother who is not good, let you experience a bad past, your mother failed to spend a happy childhood with you, failed to watch you grow taller little by little, and failed to give you a birthday before adulthood, mother is sorry for you." ”

The noble lady burst into tears, her body trembled, one hand covered her eyes, and the other hand held a goblet, her expression was extremely sad and sad, and it was touching.

I can't get used to this kind of warm picture, especially crying after drinking, Xue Xinyan hugged the noble lady and cried together.

I sighed, not knowing how to comfort the two of us who I hadn't seen for many years, so I simply walked out of the door, took out a cigarette from my pocket, lit one, and admired the vast ethereal stars.

The sky is high and the clouds are light, the stars are shining, the moon is in the sky, and from time to time there is a meteor with a tail light that flickers by, and disappears in the blink of an eye.

I took a deep breath of my cigarette and looked at the heartbreaking Milky Way with a look of fascination, when suddenly, there was a loud bang in the room, and I hurriedly threw away the cigarette in my hand and ran towards the house.
