Chapter 112 It is impossible to send Jin Bao to the countryside
Su Jianmin pointed to the wall, "Look at this wall..."
He then pointed to the roof, "And these tiles, how long have they not been repaired? Does it look like a place for people to live in? This house is even more dilapidated than I remembered. I send money back to you every month, but you haven't repaired the house yet."
Repair it well."
Su Daqiang said: "Don't think about how many people we have in our family. How can the more than 20 yuan a month you give us be enough? We are also repairing the house. It would be nice to have enough to eat."
Hearing the complaints in his tone, Su Jianmin frowned deeply.
His eldest brother is in his forties and idles around all day instead of doing anything serious.
Every time the production team came to the house to recruit people, he would pretend to be sick and lie in bed without doing any work...
"I don't live in this house. If you have the skills, you don't go to the production team to earn work points. You stay at home every day. Of course you don't have the money to repair the house!"
Su Jianmin looked at his elder brother and felt disappointed that he was so unsatisfied.
"You are now the father of three children, why do you still like to be lazy as you did when you were a child?" Su Jianmin couldn't help but say.
Su Daqiang's face turned red.
He didn't expect that his younger brother would mock him and say he was lazy in front of his younger siblings whom he met for the first time.
"Why am I lazy?" He was embarrassed and annoyed, and explained, "I just don't think it's necessary to earn those work points!"
"What? No need?" Su Jianmin sneered.
Su Daqiang said excitedly: "Do you know how long it takes to work in the production team? You work from morning to night under the bright sun in the summer, and you only get so few work points. What are you doing?"
"Why do you say it's enough? It's enough for your family, right?" Su Jianmin was quite speechless.
"That's enough!" Su Daqiang retorted, "A young and strong boy can't afford two eggs even if he works all day. I don't have the time to wait for the chickens at home to lay eggs."
"Okay, you are awesome! Just watch your two old hens every day to see if those chicken butts can lay eggs for you for a lifetime."
Su Jianmin hated the fact that iron cannot become steel, and said: "You think the work points are few, why are all the farmers vying to earn work points?"
His daughter-in-law interjected: "I heard that the production team is provided with three meals a day. As long as there is work, they will have food to eat every day, and they will not be hungry..."
"It includes three meals a day, but is it for human consumption? It's worse than pig food. It's just a lump of soup made from something I don't know. It tastes nothing when you put it in your mouth. It's disgusting."
"I understand, it's useless to talk to people like you!" Su Jianmin looked disgusted.
Su Daqiang asked: "What kind of person am I?"
"What kind of person do you think you are?"
"I don't know, so I ask you, what kind of person do you think I am?"
These few conversations were repeated over and over again, and they were childishly going back and forth, refusing to give in to each other.
After hearing the two brothers arguing, their father interrupted: "Okay, okay, now is not the time to argue about these things!"
"snort!"
Su Daqiang and Su Jianmin glared at each other and finally became quiet.
Su Changzhu looked at his third son and said, "Three rich people, I know you think the countryside is poor and our living conditions are poor, but we will raise Jinbao well."
Su Jianmin gritted his teeth when he heard that he would raise Jinbao well.
Are you kidding me?
Did he think Jin Bao was a boy?
Jinbao is a girl! A delicate, cute, and extremely precious girl!
"I earn more than 70 yuan a month in the city, but I feel that I can't take care of Jinbao well. I can't buy her nice clothes and shoes, and I can't let her eat rice and noodle soup every day. What can you do to raise her well?
ah?"
The more he talked, the angrier he became. By the end, Su Jianmin looked furious, with two clusters of fire burning in his eyes.
His father became mute for a moment.
Hey! It's true, isn't it just a matter of suffering when you go back to the countryside? He doesn't want his little granddaughter and himself to suffer in this poor valley.
On the sidelines, Su Daqiang heard that the third child's salary had been increased again, and his face that was angry before suddenly broke out into a smile.
"Wow! Third brother, you are amazing, your salary is more than seventy?"
He said cheekily: "In this way, you can send me more money every month. Things in this town are cheaper than in your city. Fifty eggs can be exchanged for ten feet of cloth. I will make new clothes for Jinbao."
Su Jianmin felt the veins on his forehead pop out.
He cursed: "Su Daqiang, do you think I'm being taken advantage of? I've sent the money to you, but what do my children eat and wear?"
"I...I didn't ask you to send me all the money. I just asked you to send more."
"Send a chicken to me. When I bring my parents to the city, I won't send you a penny again. I'll see if you want to go to the production team to earn work points." Su Jianmin was furious.
He has seen shameless people, but he has never seen anyone as shameless as his elder brother.
The atmosphere was tense again.
"You're going too far if you talk like that, Third Brother!" Su Daqiang also turned serious.
He grabbed Su Jianmin to settle old scores.
"Think about it. In order to provide for you to study alone, my father did not allow us to study. The second child barely finished elementary school, and I only reached the third grade. The fourth and fifth children were even worse, illiterate..."
"That's because you are lazy. You don't want to climb the mountain road to go to school. You are too lazy to sleep and don't study, so you keep repeating the grade! Brother, don't think I owe you anything. Even if I really owe this family something, I only owe the fourth and fifth brothers. And
Not you."
After Su Jianmin finished speaking mercilessly, Su Daqiang blushed and became angry, "Wow! You are now a big engineer in the city. You are so impressive, right? Even my eldest brother dares to quarrel with you."
"What's wrong with me quarreling with you?"
Su Jianmin snorted, "To be honest, I've always disliked you. How do you think you look like a big brother?"
"You kid," Su Daqiang raised his fist in anger as he couldn't argue, "You..."
"What are you doing? You want to fight?"
Su Jianmin clenched his fists and showed no sign of weakness, "Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
There is a word "strong" in Su Daqiang's name, but he is not strong at all.
He is only 169 tall and is the shortest among the brothers, only a little taller than Bai Lu.
Compared with Su Jianmin, he was not only much shorter in height, but also slimmer in body shape. He was no match for him in real action.
The two men faced off for a while. Su Daqiang swallowed guiltily and wanted to find a step for himself to get off.
As if she had sensed her elder brother's thoughts, Bai Lu tugged on her husband's clothes and said, "Jianmin, what are you doing? We are here to persuade Xiao Wu to go home, not to make trouble with his relatives."
"I don't want to cause trouble, but they insist on me sending Jin Bao back..."
Su Daqiang put down his fist uncomfortably and said, "I, I just want to see my niece, but you said it was so heinous."
"If you really want to see your niece, when you come to Jinghai City to see me in the future, don't mention anything about sending Jinbao to the countryside!"
"Oh, okay, okay, I'll never mention this again, okay?"
After Su Daqiang finished speaking, he was still a little unconvinced and added, "Speaking of which, it was not me, nor our father, who proposed to send Jinbao to the countryside, but your son. Go reason with him."
