Kong Xi said frankly: "Here you come, and you still scold me for being unfilial. There are three pieces of paper full of them. Two of them scold me for being unfilial, and one scolds me for not being friendly to my brother. Bah!"
"Does your mother know that you know that they are going to give the money from selling your job to your brother?"
"I know, I wrote it clearly in the note I left when I left, otherwise she wouldn't have scolded me for being unfriendly to Kong Bei."
"Do your parents know that you took all your brother's money?"
Kong Xi clicked his tongue and said: "I didn't know when I wrote to me, but now... I guess I will know soon."
Kong Bei didn’t bring a penny with him when he went to the countryside. He probably realized the difficulty of having no money as soon as he arrived in the countryside. His passion for building the countryside was probably not enough to consume two wild vegetable wotou, and he would then write to his parents crying.
.
To be more pessimistic, maybe he consumed all that passion when he had no money to buy food on the train, wrote the letter on the train, and sent it as soon as he got off the train.
Kong Bei: My brother still understands me best.
Kong Xi stared blankly ahead, and Lin Jinxing asked in a low voice: "What's wrong? Do you regret cheating your brother?"
Kong Xi looked back and sighed: "No, I'm thinking about Zhang Tao."
"Your fiancée?"
"Yes." After answering, Kong Xi suddenly came back to his senses and laughed at himself: "Hey, what were you thinking about? It's all in the past tense."
"Did you break off the engagement?"
"...No,...I didn't want to drag her down, but I couldn't bear to let her go, so I didn't mention breaking off the engagement. It was just a thought for myself. If Zhang Tao writes a letter saying that she wants to break off the engagement, I will agree."
After Kong Xi left, Liu Meixiang came over gossiping, "Who is that?"
Yang Hui also secretly leaned over with an unembroidered pillowcase, which showed how attractive Kong Xi's gossip was to them.
"My high school classmate recently came here to go to the countryside."
"What's going on with his brother? How did he cheat his brother's money? And his job. Is it okay for you, my classmate?"
Since Kong Xi spoke in public, he was not afraid of outsiders knowing about his family situation.
In order to prevent them from guessing, Lin Jinxing explained openly, "My classmate has been working in an office for two years, and the salary is not low. He is also engaged and is getting married in two months. It can be said that the future is bright.
Unexpectedly, his brother secretly signed him up to go to the countryside. Let’s not talk about work. Marriage is a big deal. Regardless of what happened to the girl, the girl’s parents definitely don’t want their daughter to follow them to the countryside.
But his parents didn't scold his brother a word, and even praised his brother for his forward thinking.
His parents were partial, so he went to the countryside with his younger brother. His parents gave his younger brother a lot of money and were busy buying things.
When I got to him, I gave him a little money, which was less than one-fifth, um... one-seventh, of his brother's, and I didn't buy anything for him.
Fortunately, he had saved some money during the past two years of working, otherwise what would he do with the little money his parents gave him? Exchange some cotton coupons and buy some cotton to make a thick quilt and a thick cotton-padded jacket.
Add in other miscellaneous things, and it will cost about ten percent.
And about his job, his parents want to give all the money from selling the job to his brother, and then pay some back.
He was so angry that he coaxed all his brother's money away from him and secretly sold his job behind his parents' back."
Liu Meixiang despised Kong Xi at first, but now she only sympathized with him, "Well, it's unlucky to have such parents."
