171. Cold Heart

"Your uncle's family is really big enough. Why is your mother-in-law so confused? What does your father-in-law say? Sister, you and your brother-in-law should think about it yourself. Both of your family are boys, and you will have to marry daughters-in-law in the future. Yes, if there is a grandson...the future house will not be enough."

Xia Yuan frowned indignantly, "And brother-in-law's attitude, if you don't want Gu Feng and Gu Meng to blame you in the future, Even if your brother-in-law agrees, you can't let go. Hey, why didn't you come to me earlier when you were short of money?"

"Will I find you later? I actually didn't expect to be able to borrow money from their old Gu family. I have seen through them long ago, but after all, they are Gu Tianming's parents, brothers and sisters, it is inappropriate for me to say anything unpleasant."

Xia Na laughed, and in turn persuaded Xia Yuan, "Don't be angry for this, too. It's not worth it if it's broken. Building a house is a big deal, I can't hide it from them, and if I don't borrow money and ask the old Gu family's own family first, isn't that not giving Gu Tianming face?"

Seeing that Xia Na was still smiling happily, Xia Yuan He couldn't help rolling his eyes, "Sister, how can you still laugh?"

"You cry without laughing? Besides, Gu Tianming not only saw through them thoroughly this time, but also completely cold-hearted. You know, we listened to his brother and sister-in-law at the time. They said it so righteously, and the old man also supported them, so he left in a rage. 【】On the way, I remembered that something fell, so I went back to get it. As a result, hehe, he happened to take his parents and brother. Sister-in-law's words are right."

Shana sneered when she remembered the situation at the time. She bought a two-story building for 3,000 yuan, and she didn't even dare to think about such a good thing?

In-laws and mothers-in-law are confused and they are not confused. Not to mention how difficult it is to get the land, just building a house for 3,000 yuan is not enough to build a two-story building. Who is happy to be treated like a fool like this? They dare to open this mouth to try another person?

"It turns out that of the 5,000 yuan that his eldest brother and sister-in-law said he could borrow, his parents paid the 3,000 yuan to buy the house. The 2,000 yuan that he lent us belonged to his brother and sister-in-law."

"How could this be? What on earth did my brother-in-law's parents think, it's all because the son is so biased?" Xia Yuan was taken aback.

"I don't know what he's thinking, but his elder sister-in-law's mother-in-law heard that he is now on the rise and has been promoted to nobility. Maybe he will be able to support his elder brother in the future, so the couple are now very much at home."

Shana laughed at herself. smile.

"My brother-in-law and I are nothing but small workers with no future. If you continue working in the factory for the rest of your life, it's just like this. Plus you don't have any money, you owe debts everywhere. Not to mention the two old ones, it's Gu Tianming's. Brother and sister look down on us."

Xia Yuan sighed, not knowing what to say to comfort her sister for a while. She knew that the couple had tried their best to make up for their husband's family before, and they all met an eccentric husband's family, but the biggest difference between Gu Tianming and Boss Su was that one had a brain and knew how to protect his wife and children; the other was not good enough, so In the end he killed himself.

"There's nothing to sigh about." Shana laughed again, "I'm not sad anymore. If it wasn't for this, we wouldn't have found out. It turns out that their family background is not thin. But when the most difficult time was, why was his elder brother and sister-in-law? But why are you trying to be poor?"

"My father-in-law and my mother-in-law also kept saying that the elder brother is the only one who earns wages and has a heavy burden. They cry in front of Gu Tianming all day and complain that we can't fill our stomachs by eating bran and sour food. The two of us are honest. I really believe it. I save myself and my children every month, send money and food stamps, rice and noodles, and more than half of the salary of the two of them combined. The result is that we are regarded as fools. The result."

"There is nothing you can do if people's hearts are biased. How much did Gu Tianming and I sacrifice for their family? But who still remembers? , the old ones have to coax them and subsidize them, that's the difference."

"Then, did you expose them at the time?" Xia Yuan took a deep breath and suppressed her emotions. She was angry when an outsider heard such a thing, not to mention What about sister and brother-in-law?

"What are you doing to expose? Are you going to stop moving in the future? What if you have a fight with them?"

Shana smiled mockingly, "At that time, Gu Tianming and I were not disturbed, and we were not in a hurry to take things, we just went quietly. I turned my head back and went back. But at that time, I really held a sigh of relief in my heart. I don't believe that without their money, our house would not be able to be built?"

"Then, what happened to the 20 square meters? What?" Xia Yuan asked curiously.

"I haven't finished yet. The next day, Gu Tianming pretended to know nothing and went back to get his things. My parents-in-law pulled him to sing a white face and a red face. I'm going to destroy their brotherhood behind the scenes. Talking about fighting the tiger's own brother, going to battle with father and son... I persuaded him a lot."

"In the end, Gu Tianming couldn't bear it anymore, so he took the day before. When they heard what they said, they asked them why they were so partial. Our family is poor."

"Finally, seeing that the matter of buying a new house has become a problem, the old couple changed their minds again. They insisted that Gu Tianming give up the 20 square meters we live in and give it to his younger brother's "May 1st" marriage. "

After coming back, Gu Tianming cried a lot behind his back. No one can really look down on you wherever you go without money. Even parents are snobbish at you. So he can be considered to see through it completely. My heart is also cold."

Xia Na's voice gradually brought a bit of helplessness, a bit of anger, and a bit of fighting spirit, "It is said that the feng shui turns in ten years, people look down on us, we can't look down on ourselves, can't we? So the two of us also We are discussing who is more suitable to leave without pay. After all, we still owe a lot of debt and have two children to support. They will continue to live in the factory together. In the future, when the two children are older, what should we marry them? wife?"

"Sister, Lu Aiguo often says that no business can be rich. These days we are doing our own business and feel this is the truth. Xiaoyun also said that in the future our 'huayan' will sell better than potato chips and make more money. If You and brother-in-law really decides, the future will be better than the present anyway."

Xia Yuan went to hug Shana distressedly, and decided in her heart that she had to pull her sister and brother-in-law no matter what.

"Well, I can see it too. If you want to fight, you still have to go to sea to do business." Xia Na watched the changes in her sister and brother-in-law's house these days, and knew that Xia Yuan was right.

172. Courage

 "Instead of going into the sea and fluttering about by ourselves, it is naturally better to get on your downwind boat. While your brother-in-law and I are still young and strong, let's go to S city and make a big bet. It's just that we Both of them have left the factory, and the 20-square-meter house will be taken back by our factory, so no one will have to worry about it."

When Shana said this, there was a kind of tone in her voice that she would rather I don't want something than cheap you. Delight.

"Why don't you?" Xia Yuan didn't think so. "Sister, you and your brother-in-law are still in the factory even without pay. Don't be stupid, who dislikes the house?"

"We are already in the well . Toucun has built a new house, so it doesn't really matter whether the 20 square meters are there or not. It's better to leave it to make my parents-in-law noisy, so it's better not to come here." Shana was still a little angry.

"..."

Xia Yuan also had a headache, frowning and thinking.

"Otherwise, you and your brother-in-law will go and tell your in-laws that the 20-square-meter house has been sold to our family for 5,000 yuan. When there is a suitable family, I will ask Lu Aiguo to come forward and rent the house out. For you guys, it's more or less money."

"But then I'm afraid that my parents-in-law will come to the door and say bad things." Shana hesitated.

"Don't be afraid of them, let's see who is more embarrassing." Xia Yuan didn't care.

Shana nodded, "Then I'll go back and ask your brother-in-law what he means."

......

"Let's go to S City together."

Gu Tianming stood up all of a sudden, looked out the window, just thought about it a little, and was very sure He nodded to Shana and made this important decision that would affect the quality of his life for the rest of his life.

"Are you really not afraid of opening the bow without turning back the arrow?" Shana glanced at Gu Tianming. Before, they had been arguing about who should leave the factory and set up a stall to do business.

Going out to set up a stall can make money to be honest, but it is also looked down upon, especially if you meet an acquaintance, it is even more embarrassing. So both of them were a little reluctant to go out and lose face.

"I'm afraid."

Gu Tianming didn't hide his fear in front of Shana at all. He was just an ordinary person, how could he not be afraid of the unknown future? But what can I do if I'm afraid? How could he be willing not to fight? Do you really want to be looked down upon by others, even parents, brothers and sisters all your life?

"But I'm more afraid that if you follow me, you will be looked down upon for the rest of your life." Gu Tianming touched Shana's hair, his eyes filled with guilt.

"Actually, we don't have to go to S city, we can even be in Haicheng. At that time, as long as I am alone." Although Shana said in front of Xia Yuan that she wanted to go to S city to fight for a while, she came back carefully. A little hesitation is inevitable.

"I can't bear to be a child, I can't bear to be a wolf. I can only survive in Haicheng. If I really want to live a better life, I should go to a place with more opportunities like S City." Gu Tianming also thinks a lot these days, " We also let them see, it's not that they really look down on us, we have to be flat all the time."

"I'm afraid that when we really make money and come back, they cry a few times and wipe a few tears. You'll be soft-hearted again." Shana had to worry so much, she didn't want to end up working so hard that she ended up making wedding clothes for others.

"It's enough for people to be stupid once. I won't shirk my responsibilities when it's time to do my filial piety, but that's it, they think too much for nothing." Gu Tianming looked at Shana and smiled, "not to mention that they can't help you if you think about it too much. When did I ever have financial power in the family?"

"Haha, you're funny. What should you do if your father said the house is going to be used for your brother's marriage?" Shana opened her eyes and blinked. Without blinking, he paid attention to the expression on Gu Tianming's face.

"What else can I do? Let's make a salad. We still owe a lot of debt ourselves. Of course, we need to rent out the house to reduce the burden. That's my brother, not my son. Why would he want me to leave the house when he gets married? We do The second brother and the second sister-in-law, just follow the same greeting given by the eldest brother and the eldest sister-in-law."

Gu Tianming looked at Shana inexplicably, and reached out to touch her forehead, "Wife, do you want to lend the house to the younger brother? Can you? Think about it first, this is meat buns beating dogs, and it may be difficult to return this loan at that time."

"I'm not afraid that you won't be able to withstand the pressure of your parents?" Shana laughed suddenly, looking at Gu Tianming was a little stunned, the wife hadn't laughed so happily for a long time.

"I rejected them that day. I don't care whether they take them seriously or not. I can see it clearly. Even if I cut off all the flesh of my body to them, it will not bring them satisfaction. We should do our best to our parents. As for brothers and sisters, it's good to be good, but it's not something that can't be done. It can only be said that the fate of brothers and sisters is not enough."

Gu Tianming actually knew that he was not favored since he was a child. This is the second child. of sadness. In the eyes of the parents, they could see the eldest, the youngest, and the only younger sister in the middle. He was the only one who was redundant.

Just because his parents habitually ignored him, other siblings also ignored him subconsciously. Even though he had paid a lot for them when he grew up, he still couldn't change his unpopular fate.

"It's great to get the name 'Huayan'. I only knew from you that this business can be done." Gu Tianming didn't want to think about those troubles any more, so he pulled Shana a little impatiently, "Let's go, before the time is up. Late, we will reply to them now."

"What are you in a hurry? You have to go and find those two boys for dinner first." Shana was a little helpless seeing Gu Tianming's anxious look.

"Yes, I'll go find them back." Gu Tianming smiled, "If they knew that they could live with their aunt in the future, wouldn't they be happy for a long time?"

"That's two unscrupulous people." Shana smiled when she thought of her son.

"Mom, it's my aunt, my uncle, Gu Feng and Gu Meng." When Lu Yun was standing at the entrance of the stairs on the second floor, she saw the four people who were led in by her father, and hurriedly shouted in the direction of the study.

Seeing that Gu Feng and Gu Meng were playing table football next to them, Lu Yun continued to devote her mental energy to the few people sitting in the restaurant talking.

In addition to my aunt and uncle, my father, mother, and stone are also there.

"Sis, brother-in-law, since you have already made up your mind, let's go together after you have completed the procedures for 'leave without pay' in your respective factories." Lu Aiguo said with a smile.

"We will drive the freight directly, and I will accompany you to arrange it there, and then it is all up to you. There is also this plan, you can take it back and have a look first, if you don't understand anything Just ask Xia Yuan."
