The village is located in the southeast of DongY County, and it is about three kilometers away from Xianren Bridge.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, Li Qin, who asked for leave early to go to the meeting, bought a box of instant noodles and a box of drinks, and rode a bicycle to the home of Li Xiang, the eldest sister of Suoxinying Village.

After entering the house and drinking a cup of cold boiled water, Li Qin didn't care about resting more, so he went to the shade under the corridor of the gatehouse, moved a small bench, sat down with a group of women and relatives, and chatted while choosing vegetables and cutting vegetables......

In the countryside, even if they came to the party, the women would help with the cooking, and the old men would sit and chat in the living room of the hall.

A few of the children were not too hot at all, and they were running and playing like crazy with sweat on their heads.

Older children chatted with the adults and sometimes helped out.

The maiden home of Li Qin and Li Xiang sisters is in Erdaogou Village, which is not far away. Speaking of which, when Li Qin got married, it really made the neighbors, relatives and friends envious, because in that era, being able to marry a regular employee of a state-owned enterprise, and he was also a county town hukou, meant that he could live a rich life with drought and flood income, which was much better than in the countryside. However, no one expected that Li Qin would be widowed when he was not yet thirty years old.

After Li Qin's parents died a few years ago, she went back to her parents' house less and less, firstly, because she was too busy, and secondly, she didn't want to be sneered and white-eyed by her brother-in-law Feng Chunmei, and only occasionally went to her brother's house to visit her relatives during the New Year's festival or village meeting, and every time she went, she had to pay back part of her brother's money and buy some gifts, otherwise her brother's mean face would not only be unbearable, but her sister and younger brother would be embarrassed to be present.

In the early spring of this year, after paying off all the debts, Li Qin felt much more relaxed, and when she went to go to relatives, she felt that her waist was much straighter.

I never thought about it, but now I have encountered difficulties again.

Today, Li Qin plans to discuss with her younger brother Li Bin in private, if Wen Shuo is admitted to university, borrow some money from him first-sister Li Xiang's family is average, she has just built a new house, and her son will get married this year, so she will definitely not be able to borrow money.

As for the mother-in-law's side, the mother-in-law died very early, ten years ago, the father-in-law couldn't bear the accidental death of his son, the tragedy of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man, he fell ill with sadness and fell ill, and died after half a year in bed, and then Wen Shuo's aunt broke off contact with their family.

Li Qin has not many relatives and friends, only his younger brother Li Bin's family conditions are good, when Wen Shuo's father was alive, he gave Li Bin the idea to borrow money to buy a freight car, and helped him contact the cargo transportation business of the cotton mill, so Li Bin began to make a fortune. Later, the cotton mill closed down, Li Bin was not affected in any way, he has already developed a lot of customers, and now he has three large freight trucks under his hands, in Erdaogou Village, he is a veritable rich man.

There are more and more people, and the small courtyard is becoming more and more lively.

Suddenly, there were a few crisp horns on the street outside, and the women and children sitting in the hallway of the gatehouse looked out in unison, only to see a brand-new shiny black Santana 2000 sedan parked outside the courtyard gate.

It was Li Bin who was driving.

In the passenger seat, Li Bin's wife Feng Chunmei, wearing a white dress, straightened long hair, light makeup, a platinum necklace around her neck, a gold bracelet on her wrist, carrying a delicate white handbag, wearing high heels and shaking up the stairs step by step, greeting her relatives with a smile on her face, her mouth was as sweet as if she had been smeared with honey.

Li Bin followed closely, combing his back hair, he was full of spirit, with a BB machine hanging on his waist and a mobile phone.

Full of big money!

The last person to get out of the car was a thin, tall, fair-looking sixteen or seventeen-year-old man - he was Li Congwen, the son of Li Bin and Feng Chunmei, who was also studying in No. 1 Middle School and would be in his second year of high school after the summer vacation.

The old men who were chatting in the living room of the hall all got up and greeted each other with smiling faces, and warmly beckoned Li Bin to sit down.

The courtyard was very small, and the door of the hall was open, so that the old men in the living room and the women in the hallway of the gatehouse could talk to each other. Originally, women talked about women, and gentlemen talked about gentlemen, but as soon as Li Bin and Feng Chunmei came, they seemed to bring the topic of conversation between women and gentlemen together.

It is no wonder that people with good financial conditions seem to naturally become the focus of attention among relatives and friends on such occasions.

Li Qin felt that something was wrong, her younger daughter-in-law Feng Chunmei had a different attitude of disdain and disgust when she saw her in the past, she was more enthusiastic and cordial, and took the initiative to talk to her, and also asked Wen Shuo with concern how the college entrance examination was and what her plans were for in the future.

Because he doesn't know the college entrance examination scores, and Wen Shuo's academic performance in the past is average, although he said confidently that he can be admitted to university and is still an undergraduate, but Li Qin can trust his son, but it is not good to say it in public, if he fails to be admitted to college, won't he be laughed at. So, she can only tell the truth and doesn't know the score yet. fell into the eyes of relatives, and naturally guessed that Wen Shuo's college entrance examination results were not good, Li Qin was embarrassed to say - it was not that these relatives were all snobs, but because everyone often sat down together to chat, so they probably understood each other's family members.

The college entrance examination is undoubtedly a topic that will be talked about between ordinary people and the upper echelons of society. So when it comes to the college entrance examination, everyone immediately comes to the interest and talks about whose children are taking the college entrance examination this year, and which neighbor, which friend, and which relative's children should have good college entrance examination results...... Chen Nan, the daughter of Li Xiang's sister-in-law Hu Junying, is also a fresh graduate of No. 1 High School this year.

mentioned Chen Nan, Hu Junying's face was quite honorable.

And the relatives and friends present did not hesitate to appreciate.

Because Chen Nan's academic performance has always been excellent, it is a sure thing to be admitted to university.

On the other hand, Wen Shuo is also known by all relatives, but he is almost a negative example, with average grades, poor family conditions, it is best to fight and brawl in school, and he is still doing the unproductive business of picking up rags and collecting waste all year round rain or shine - in the eyes of ordinary people, this has doomed Wen Shuo to the fate of no interest in his life.

Everyone asked Chen Nan why she didn't come, and Hu Junying said that she wanted her daughter to spend a few yuan to call to check the scores, but several girls discussed it and went to the school to check the scores together today, and at this time, they should be back soon.

"Second aunt, why didn't my cousin come?" Li Congwen looked around the house and didn't see Wen Shuo, so he came over to ask.

Li Qin said with a smile: "He is busy today, so he won't come." ”

"What can he do?" Feng Chunmei showed a puzzled look, and then glared at her disappointed son with dissatisfaction, and said with a smile that seemed to be strange and sarcastic: "Second sister, you look at Congwen, this kid, I think about playing with Brother Shuo every day, I teach him every time, don't be like your Brother Shuo, if you don't study hard, you will know that you will fight and cause trouble, and you won't be able to have no education and no diploma in the future! ”

"Yes, yes. Li Qin was embarrassed, others said that Wen Shuo was good at fighting and making trouble, and he was not wronged at all, but ......

Whose child is not a treasure?

Li Qin was very angry, but she couldn't be angry - she had to borrow money from her brother!

But Li Congwen, who was in the rebellious period of his youth, was obviously dissatisfied with his mother's words, he snorted and said: "Brother Shuo has never been good at fighting and causing trouble, he is uneven and draws a knife to help, in our school, there is no one who doesn't like him, otherwise, he has fought so many times and caused so many things, why hasn't he been punished once, and he hasn't been called a parent once? In No. 1 Middle School, Brother Shuo is everyone's idol, who doesn't admire him?"

These words made Li Qin couldn't help but smile happily.

"What do you know? Adults talk and children don't interject!" Feng Chunmei scolded her son, and then turned her head to Li Qin and said: "Second sister, I think so, after Shuo graduated from high school, he always has to find a serious job to do, I have discussed with Li Bin, let Shuo go to our team to follow the car, keep up with it for three or two years, you can learn to drive, get a driver's license in the future, and be a big car driver It's very good." Don't you know, the driver who drives a big car for our family now has a salary of 900 yuan a month, and he is not tired, he will leave the car when he has goods, and he will rest at home when he has no goods. ”

Li Qin was stunned.

"That's a good thing. Li Xiang interjected next to him and asked, "How much does it cost to follow the car?"

"Take care of food and housing, there is an old driver and master to teach you to drive, and you don't give money. Feng Chunmei didn't feel embarrassed at all when she said this, but looked generous, and said: "It's better than going to a driving school to learn a driver's license and spending money, right? ”

"This ......"

The women next to her, including the old men in the house, all felt that Feng Chunmei's words were unreasonable, and everyone was not stupid, who didn't know that the young people who followed the car could learn to drive, but they were tired, they had to do dirty work, and their wages were small.

It's less, but it's also paid.

Where is there no money?

Feng Chunmei continued: "In the past two years, relatives and friends have always come to the door, hoping to let the children of the family follow us in the car, but Li Bin has always been with a car by himself, I said that he just hired someone, don't suffer that sin when he becomes the boss, but he, he didn't say that he occupied a car and kept it for Xiaoshuo." Second sister, what do I say, although it is a good thing to let Xiao Shuo follow the car, but he must also be prepared to endure hardships, learn skills, where is there anyone who does not endure hardships? Besides, let Xiao Shuo follow our own car, and let him grasp the finances, run a long distance, and the freight back and forth is more than 20,000 at most, you say, if it is not his own nephew, can he hand over such an important thing to do?"

These words are reasonable, and they also pull out the family affection, expressing their attention, trust and care for Wen Shuo.

Feng Chunmei has already figured out the mentality of most people, but if she plays the family card and shows how kind she is, then even if she obviously takes advantage, most of the other party is embarrassed to refuse, so she can only agree.

Otherwise, you don't know how to lift!

As she expected, almost everyone present felt that this was the case.

As for the question of wages......

Between nephews and uncles, isn't it a matter of talking about money? Didn't you listen to what he said, trust, take care of Wen Shuo, even if he doesn't mention his salary, with the financial resources of Li Bin and Feng Chunmei, can he still treat his nephew badly?
