I was stunned, really stunned, in my impression, Chen Tiannan and his daughter-in-law are quite virtuous, how can they be like a shrew, especially her sentence, people are divided into three, six, nine and so on, which deeply hurt my self-esteem, and I felt that my face was hot, not beaten, but ashamed.

At that moment, I put away my phone and asked Lang Gao in a deep voice: "How much money did this funeral cost, and how much do you owe Tiannan?" ”

He was stunned, as if he didn't understand what I meant, so he asked me, "What's wrong?" Did Chen Tiannan say something? ”

I just stopped and asked him to calculate how much money Tiannan had spent.

He took out a piece of red paper, looked for an abacus again, fiddled with it, and said, "Chen Tiannan borrowed a total of 140,000 from you, plus some things he bought himself, about 150,000 yuan." ”

"150,000." I clenched my fists, and my heart sank to the bottom, so that I can pay off 150,000 yuan now, even if I use a knife to cut meat and sell it, I don't have that much money.

"Chen Jiu, what's wrong with you? Did Chen Tiannan ask you to pay back the money? Lang Gao glanced at me and said in a deep voice.

I nodded, told him the content of the call, and said, "Maybe Tiannan is kind, but his daughter-in-law asked me to pay back the money, and I must return the money to him as soon as possible, otherwise, it will be my fault to cause disharmony between their husband and wife." ”

Na Lang Gao was stunned for a moment, smashed his fist on the head of the bed, and said angrily: "The dog looks at the things that are low, what three, six, nine, etc., are all two arms carrying a head, what's the difference, it's really TM fuck, I think there are a few stinky money, so I am so superior, Chen Jiu, let me tell you, we can't lower this ambition, return the money to her as soon as possible, we are not rare those stinky money, and also, in the future, I will have less dealings with Chen Tiannan, and I am willing to let others say that you climb high." ”

I smiled bitterly and said: "Tiannan is my brother, a brother for life, and that woman is also his daughter-in-law no matter how she says, she can say whatever she likes, I have a big heart as a brother, there is nothing to worry about, for the sake of today, only to pay off her money as soon as possible, don't let Tiannan be difficult in front of her." ”

"You, you!" He looked at me, shook his head, and didn't say anything more.

Suddenly, there was silence in the room, neither of us spoke, we all smoked cigarettes, maybe I couldn't do it, I only smoked a few cigarettes, and I coughed violently.

During this period, I kept thinking about one thing, is it that if I do a low-level job, I will be looked down upon wherever I go? Is this the sorrow of a profession or the sorrow of society? Or is it that people now like to measure a person's worth by their profession? If so, what is all that I do?

At this point, I became confused about life, and smoked one cigarette after another.

Suddenly, Na Lang Gao spoke again, and he said, "Chen Jiu, how are you going to pay back the 150,000?" ”

I thought about it for a while, and said, "Let's make money desperately, try to return the 150,000 yuan as soon as possible, and then redeem his earrings and wedding ring for Tiannan." ”

He was stunned for a moment and said: "Chen Jiu, it's not me who hits you, in terms of the income of the Eight Immortals, if you want to pay off 150,000 yuan, I'm afraid it will be difficult to enter the sky, do you think this is okay, isn't the little fat man starting a company, you ask him if he is financially rich, if you can, first ask him to borrow a part, and then slowly find a way, no matter what you say, you can't be looked down upon by that woman." ”

I stopped and said, "Guo Fatzi just opened a company, he should not be financially well-off, there is no need to trouble him, besides, if it is because of money, Guo Fatzi and his parents will have a dispute, I, as a brother, really have no shame to face them." ”

He thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Yes, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read!" ”

Later, we chatted for a while, and we were generally around the 150,000 yuan, and after some discussion, we really couldn't make 150,000 yuan in a short time, so we had to smoke with our heads down. Frankly speaking, this kind of taste of no money is really unbearable, and I feel inferior all the time. Perhaps it is for this reason that for a period of time in the next few years, I was so stingy that I never spent a penny, even drinking mineral water, I would think about saving the bottle and selling it to the scrapyard, which gave me an extra nickname, Iron Rooster, which means a hair.

It was about noon, and a voice came from outside the door, "Brother Lang, are you there?" The baby has brought you food. ”

Na Lang Gao replied, Brother Shi is here, so he stood up and walked towards the door, opened the door, and the Shi baby was holding a tray with three dishes, one soup and a bowl of rice on it.

"Brother Lang, is Brother Jiu awake?" The stone baby put the tray on the table and asked Lang Gao.

As he spoke, he looked at me, and when he saw me sitting here, he immediately walked over and said in surprise: "Brother Jiu, you finally woke up, the baby wants to kill you." ”

I gave him a blank look and said angrily, "I'm not doing it." ”

He smiled, touched the back of his head, and said, "Brother Jiu, how is your body?" How's the recovery? Is it better? Do you want your baby to call you a doctor? ”

Listening to his words, I was depressed to death, why did this thing become so kind all of a sudden? Will you care about me? He asked tentatively, "Is there something looking for me?" ”

He hurriedly stopped and said, "Brother Jiu, what are you talking about, how can I Shi Baobao be that kind of person, I just care about you, and I don't mean anything else, but..."

As he spoke, he paused, glanced at Lang Gao, looked embarrassed, and said embarrassedly: "However, my aunt seems to have something to ask you." ”

"Madame Shi has something to ask me?" I was surprised.

He nodded and said, "It seems that because of me, Grandma wants to ask you for a favor." ”

"What's the busy?" I was very puzzled, why would Mrs. Shi ask me for help? That seems unlikely. After all, I don't have anything to want, but Mrs. Shi is a dignified Miao family member, so I shouldn't be able to help much.

He smiled and didn't speak, so he knelt down at me, "Master is above, please bow to the apprentice." ”

"Poof!" Na Lang Gao was eating, squirted out the whole mouthful of rice, and said, "Brother Shi, are you joking, you are older than Chen Jiu, how can you worship him as a teacher." ”

Na Shi Baobao directly ignored Lang Gao's words, and kowtowed three times desperately to me, saying, "Master, please accept me as an apprentice, I will definitely serve your old man well." ”

Seeing this, my face sank, and my eyes looked at him directly, this stone baby apprenticeship seems to be a little funny, but after thinking about it, he seems to be apprenticed with a purpose.

I will think like this, there are two reasons, one is that I have no strength, I am not worthy of Shi Baobao's apprenticeship, there is nothing to teach him at all, and the other is that Shi Baobao's apprenticeship is instructed by Mrs. Shi, she asked Shi Baobao to worship me as a teacher, what is the purpose?
