He stood up and accompanied Zhang Lin out of the room to the dining table in the living room. His father Zhang Longhai and his mother Qin Suzhen were already eating with bowls in hand. Coughing sounds came from Zhang Longhai's throat from time to time. This was a unique sound in their family.
, I have been with him for so many years, and I have become accustomed to it.
It is an ordinary vegetarian dish, but it tastes very delicious to the whole family. Zhang Qian knows that although his family is in trouble, with his sister here, this family does not lack warmth and happiness. Sometimes, there are hardships and hardships, and he smiles
It is better to go through it than to go through it crying. The family supports each other and persists in getting through every day. Such a life is quite real.
"Honey, you asked your old friends to check Chen Xuwu's address. Have you found it?" While eating, her mother Qin Suzhen seemed to have thought of something and asked curiously, "If you found it, you can go and visit me."
No matter what, I have to ask him if he is willing to help."
Zhang Hailong coughed dryly and took a mouthful of food, then said calmly, "I already know the address, but I haven't decided when to go there yet. I've thought about it, it doesn't matter if Chen Xuwu can't help our family, but he must
Let him help Zhang Qian get admitted to a key high school."
Zhang Qian was stunned when he heard this. He raised his head and said, "Dad, why are you doing this? Didn't I say I don't..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Lin hurriedly touched his arm and signaled him with her eyes not to continue. At this time, Zhang Hailong snorted and frowned, "I don't care whether you want to study or not, anyway, you
You have to put me through college! Your mother, sister and I, even if we sell the iron, even if we sell this house, we still have to support your education!"
"Why? I don't understand why my sister can drop out of high school, but I must finish college!" Zhang Qian couldn't help but said, "Dad, your son is not good at studying!"
"Shit! I said you have it, you have it. You are different from Zhang Lin!" Zhang Hailong replied loudly, "You have to read it if you want to, and you have to read it if you don't. There is no need to discuss it!"
"What's the difference between my sister and me? Just because she's a girl and I'm a boy? Dad, how old are you and you still have such feudal ideas and old traditions!" Zhang Qian gritted his teeth and retorted, "I really don't want to continue reading.
After that, I want to make money, supplement the family income, and help my sister share the burden, instead of continuing to be a parasite in the family!"
"That's enough! If you don't study, then your mother and I are even more guilty, because you are different from Zhang Lin. Your mother and I must provide for you to study. This is the most basic condition! What kind of parasite? Wait for you
After finishing college and working, we all have to rely on you to survive. Why are you a parasite??" Zhang Hailong said this loudly and couldn't help coughing violently. At this time, Zhang Lin also pinched Zhang Qian's thigh to signal.
He should not continue talking.
Zhang Qian clenched his fists. Although he kept silent, he still didn't understand why he had always felt that his parents always wanted to leave the best things to him since he became sensible. His sister was also their flesh and blood, so why did they treat him so badly?
Are you a nice person? You say you favor boys over girls, but my father is a city dweller with a higher education, and he has never been so feudal in other aspects.
"Dong dong dong!!" Just when Zhang Qian was puzzled, a knock on the door interrupted the silence at the dining table. Zhang Lin hurriedly stood up and went to open the door. Soon, Zhang Lin's voice sounded in the room
An unexpected voice said, "Sister-in-law, uncle? It's you... Why are you here? Come on, please come in."
"Haha, it's Linlin, you are getting more and more beautiful." He thought of his sister-in-law's voice outside the door, but Zhang Qian couldn't help but frown. His sister-in-law's name is Zhang Yanmei, and she is his father's youngest sister.
The Zhang family gave birth to three daughters in total, and finally gave birth to a son like his father. His grandparents have always lived in several aunts’ homes and took turns taking care of them, mainly because his father really did not have the ability to take care of him. For this reason, his father has always been
They all felt very guilty.
However, this is certainly not the reason for Zhang Qian's disgust. What he is disgusted with is that his sister-in-law Zhang Yanmei has always wanted to help her sister Zhang Lin. Since last year, she has introduced several blind dates, but her sister Zhang Lin has always politely refused. Who knows
Is it because of her sudden visit tonight?
In addition to this reason, Zhang Qian doesn't like these family members very much. Logically speaking, the three aunts live in a wealthy family and should help their sick father more, but not only do they mostly ignore them,
He also seemed to look down upon him, which made Zhang Qian reluctant to interact with his father's relatives since he was a child. Except for visiting his grandparents during the Chinese New Year, they rarely met each other.
"Dad, Mom, my sister-in-law is here." Zhang Lin accompanied her sister-in-law and uncle who walked in from outside the room into the living room, and hurried to the kitchen to make tea. Although Zhang Qian felt uncomfortable, he still called politely.
Twice, after all, they are guests, so they can't be rude.
My sister-in-law works in a real estate company and is already the deputy director of the purchasing department, while my brother-in-law runs his own decoration business and earns a lot of money a year. The two of them are very gorgeous and wealthy from the way they dress, and they are obviously well-off.
family category.
"Third sister, you are here, sit down quickly, we are eating. Ahem...what, why don't you eat together?" Father Zhang Hailong seemed very enthusiastic, and after asking his sister-in-law and uncle to sit down, he said,
"Why are you free today and come to sit with me?"
My sister-in-law Zhang Yanmei looked around the house casually and said in a loud voice, "Brother, this house is too old. It's more than thirty years old, right? If we continue to live in it, it will probably become a dilapidated house. You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, are you, are you, are you, are you?"
You know how to calculate, when will this kind of miserable life end? Even if you are sick, you should take good care of yourself, right? I am here today just to show you a clear path."
After Zhang Hailong heard this, how could he not know the purpose of his little sister's visit? He couldn't help frowning and said, "Third sister, you also know how difficult my family is. If you have any good way to help me, I will humbly accept it, but if
This is an unacceptable method, so I would rather be a little poorer and suffer a little."
At this time, Zhang Lin happened to come out of the kitchen with tea. After enthusiastically passing the water to the two sisters-in-law, sister-in-law Zhang Yanmei smiled with satisfaction and said, "Our Zhang Lin is so beautiful and juicy, such a beautiful woman.
You should find a good husband. Brother, let me make it clear. The vice president of my company is just twenty-six this year. He is not very handsome, but he is definitely not ugly. This man, the most
The important thing is ability, isn't it? He is the vice president of the company, but to be honest, this is just a false name for his temporary position. His father is a high-ranking official in the county, he is very powerful! There are several houses in the county, and that is another
He is rich and powerful. He has met Zhang Lin and likes her very much. He wants to be with Zhang Lin. Do you think that will work?"
"This..." After all, it seemed that Zhang Yanmei was here for her sister Zhang Lin. Zhang Hailong hesitated for a while and said, "I'm afraid Zhang Lin has to make her own decision on this matter. I don't want to interfere with her freedom of love.
"
"Brother, what are you talking about? When a daughter gets married, it is her parents' order to marry a matchmaker. Why don't you interfere?" Zhang Yanmei, the sister-in-law, was obviously preaching. "Think about it, if Zhang Lin and my vice president
After you recover, let alone your illness, how difficult will it be to change to a bigger house? Now that my daughter is a golden phoenix, and Zhang Lin is so beautiful, how about finding a rich husband to marry her? "
"Third sister, aren't you selling your children? I heard that there are women everywhere among the rich men now, so it's better to find someone who is honest and responsible." At this time, the mother next to her, Qin Suzhen, said, "All I ask is
As long as my daughter is happy, that is more important than anything else."
"Sister-in-law, what are your thoughts on being honest and responsible? Huh, in today's society, those who are honest and responsible are poor people. Do you want your daughter to marry a poor person and live her life?" Zhang Yanmei saw that her mother Qin Suzhen seemed to be
Not very willingly, I couldn't help but glance at my uncle.
The younger uncle scratched his head in embarrassment and said helplessly with a blushing face, "Um...brother-in-law...as for me, I have to do a business recently and my money is very tight. Can I, can I..."
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Qian's whole family immediately understood what his uncle meant. Last year, Zhang Hailong fell ill and urgently needed to go to the hospital for care. However, his sister and mother's wages were not enough, so they had to ask his sister-in-law's family for a loan.
Ten thousand yuan. Initially, my sister-in-law was not willing to borrow it, but her grandfather asked her to borrow it. Given the current huge life pressure of Zhang Qian’s family, it would be difficult to pay back the ten thousand yuan, even the interest, as originally agreed
I have to wait until next year to pay it back, but I didn't expect that my uncle would ask for money now.
"I said, brother-in-law, didn't you agree to pay back the money next year? You suddenly asked me to ask for it. How can I get so much money as a poor person? You have such a big business and no matter how tight your money is, this ten thousand
How can it stump you? This really hasn’t come out yet..."
Before Zhang Hailong could finish his embarrassing words, his sister-in-law Zhang Yanmei smiled and said, "Okay, let's do this. If you still don't come out, let Linlin go see our vice president and make an appointment for a blind date. How much money is there?"
How about you just pay it back next year? If the vice president likes Linlin, then repaying the money is not a matter of raising your hand? To be honest, we don't care about this ten thousand yuan, that is, we are forcing you.
.But I am doing this for Linlin’s own good, and it will be too late for you to thank me in the future!”
"This..." Zhang Hailong didn't know how to answer. It's hard to blame Zhang Yanmei for what she said. She was kind-hearted. Although there was coercion, at least the purpose was good-natured. At this time, he turned to Zhang Yanmei on the side.
Lin glanced at it. At this time, Zhang Lin lowered her pretty face slightly shyly, pursed her pink lips and seemed unwilling to speak.
At this time, his uncle seemed a little embarrassed and whispered something into his sister-in-law Zhang Yanmei's ear. Zhang Yanmei glared at him and leaned over to whisper to him. Zhang Qian's eyes fell on Zhang Yanmei at this time.
, he really wanted to know what the two people were talking about.
At this moment, Zhang Qian suddenly had an idea. Since he can slow down the movement of any object, can he slow down the speed of speaking with his lips? If so, wouldn't it be possible to clearly follow the slowed down mouth shape?
