Zhang An went out for a trip to the mountains early the next morning. When he came back, he found someone at home.
Zhang An walked into the house and saw that it was his uncle and uncle who he had never interacted with before. Zhang An felt a little bad.
These two people have never been to Zhang An's home since he can remember. He heard from his father that they have visited twice in the past few years. The first time was because they came when his parents got married. The second time
I came here to borrow food.
After that, no one came to visit me anymore. Even after Zhang An was born and then Zhang An’s grandparents passed away, none of my uncles came to my house.
Because of this, Wang Fang was gossiped behind her back by the villagers.
Moreover, Zhang An actually saw smiles that he had never seen before on the faces of the two of them. Zhang An rubbed his eyes, maybe he had seen it wrong.
Zhang An put down the bamboo basket he was carrying. Inside was the rabbit he planned to raise outside.
Zhang An wanted to raise rabbits a long time ago, but it has been delayed until now. Even if the tiger cubs caught live rabbits, they could not survive for more than a few days, and they all ended up in Zhang An's family's rabbits.
This time Zhang An specially picked out two big pure white rabbits in the space.
"Xiao An is back, and he has caught such a big rabbit. He is very capable." The two people in the room actually called Zhang An, which surprised Zhang An even more.
You must know that since childhood, several of my uncles and even aunts have never taken the initiative to call me, and they usually have a cold look on their faces.
There is no love without reason, and there is no hate without reason.
It is said that when Zhang An's grandparents were still alive, Zhang An's family had not been separated at that time, and they still lived with Zhang An's grandparents.
They knew that Changqing Village had a lot of paddy fields, so they came to borrow food. They didn't even give them corn, they just wanted rice.
But at that time, the land in the village had not been divided yet, and everyone was still eating from the big pot. Whose family had extra grain to lend out?
Originally, because he couldn't shirk it, Grandpa Zhang An was going to give him corn, but when someone asked for rice, Grandpa Zhang An definitely wouldn't give it to him, because the family only had so much millet, so he lent it to you to feed the rest of the family.
So from then on, Zhang An's grandfather and several of Zhang An's uncles seemed to have broken ties with Zhang An's family and had no contact with each other.
Zhang An's parents only visit Zhang An's grandmother once every New Year and holiday, and they never go there on weekdays.
When Zhang An was a child, Zhang An's grandmother came to pick her up and stay with her grandson for a few days because she missed him.
But ever since Zhang An could remember, he learned that no one liked him except his grandmother. Children are very sensitive to the feeling of isolation. Later, even when Zhang An's grandmother came to pick her up, Zhang An never went there again.
Until Zhang An's grandparents passed away, no family there was willing to come to attend the funeral, and the two families became even more alien.
When he heard the two people calling him, Zhang An just replied lightly, "Yeah."
Then he turned around and talked to his parents.
"Mom, these two rabbits need to be locked up in a cage to be raised."
The two of them saw two fat and big rabbits belonging to Zhang An's family, and thought that Zhang An's family would kill the rabbits as a treat for them at noon.
When I entered the village, I heard people in Changqing Village say how prosperous my sister's family has been recently. She not only bought a car, but also ate meat every meal.
After hearing this, the two felt that the car owned by Zhang An's family at that time belonged to them, and they also lied to everyone that the car was borrowed.
However, when the two of them saw that the car in the yard was different from the previous one, they realized that what Wang Fang said at that time was not necessarily a lie to them, and they might have been overthinking it.
Because they came here to borrow money from Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo.
Unexpectedly, Zhang An just said yes to him and said he wanted to raise the rabbit, and his face looked a little ugly at the moment.
Zhang An ignored them and poured a cup of tea to drink.
Now the two of them looked even more ugly. They had been here for a long time, and they didn't even pour them a cup of tea.
However, in order to borrow money, the two of them still took the initiative to talk to Zhang An's family with smiles on their faces.
Zhang Jianguo even said a few words to them, but Zhang An and Wang Fang simply stopped talking to them.
Even now it's almost noon, and I still don't have the intention to get up and cook.
In the end, Zhang An's father couldn't hold it back and asked.
"You two, why are you here?"
When Zhang Jianguo asked, the two of them immediately became excited, waiting to be asked this question.
"Brother-in-law, your eldest nephew Wang Peng recently said that he has been married. He likes a girl from Murakami. They are both interested in each other, but the other person's family wants a gift of fifteen hundred yuan. It's not that they don't have that much money.
As for money, I heard that my brother-in-law’s family has been doing well recently, so I thought I’d come over to you guys first to transfer one or two thousand yuan slowly, and I can pay it back after the crops are harvested and sold.”
After saying that, he looked at Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang's reactions with wide eyes.
The words "brother-in-law" made Zhang An laugh, and the tea he just drank in his mouth spurted out.
Because they have never called Zhang An's father that way.
"You kid, you don't drink water carefully, it's true." Wang Fang was still concerned about Zhang An, fearing that Zhang An would be seriously choked.
Zhang An's feeling was indeed correct. The two of them were groveling, cautious, and forcing smiles today. They were indeed holding back a big move.
One or two thousand yuan is quite a lot for other people, but for Zhang An's family, they can still afford it casually.
But Zhang An was unwilling to borrow it. Of course, it still had to look at Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo.
In this aspect, Zhang Jianguo cannot be the head of the family, so he still has to look to Wang Fang.
"Hey, we may not be able to help with this matter. Xiao An just bought a car and embezzled all the money. We may not be able to help Wang Peng with this matter."
Wang Fang had a look of pity on her face, but what she said made the two of them scream in their hearts that something was wrong.
"No, little sister, I heard from people in your village that your family just sold grain, so they should be rich."
Wang Fang politely refused, but she didn't expect the two of them to be so shameless and even hit the snake with a stick.
"You don't need to pay other people's debts after selling food. Our family can't afford that much money to buy a car directly,"
"Why don't you tell them first and see if you can delay the payment for a while? Your nephew's wedding is a top priority, or selling the deer at home is enough."
These words made Zhang An laugh.
Come on, our family said they had no money to lend you, just to save face for you, but you also asked us to sell our livestock and lend it to you, where is our face?
Wang Fang choked with anger, and Zhang An quickly stood up and patted his mother on the back.
Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang couldn't resist the two of them being so shameless. No matter what, they didn't expect this person to be so shameless. They refused politely and pretended not to understand.
"Okay, okay, the money has not been lent to you, the animals will not be sold, and the money for selling the grain cannot be extended, and this matter has nothing to do with my family. You should find a solution elsewhere.
Don't waste your time here."
Zhang An saw that his mother was so angry that she couldn't speak, so he spoke directly. He no longer wanted to pretend with the two of them anymore.
"Xiao An, how can you say that? We are your biological uncles. That is a major event in your eldest cousin's life. How can you say it doesn't matter."
Hearing what Zhang An said, Zhang An's uncle became anxious and started to suppress the situation with firepower using family ties and morality.
But I never thought that Zhang An was not afraid of this kind of thing.
"Okay, okay, don't pretend that your family is very close to mine. Think about what you have done over the years. To be honest, what you said today really made me laugh several times."
"Including today, you have come to our house three times in total. The first time was when my parents got married. The second time was when you came to borrow food. Today is the third time. This time, although you did not come to borrow food, it became a loan.
Now, let me ask you, can you have some self-respect? When you go to someone else's house, you either borrow this or that."
"Don't talk about uncles and nephews. To be honest, our family really doesn't deserve to be related to you. When I was a child, did you call me at your house? Ask me to come to your house.
Have you had dinner once? And you asked your sons and nephews not to play with me. Now you remember that you are my uncle. Why did you go there earlier?"
"When my grandparents left, did any of you people come to report the news? Go out and ask who can do this? Just because you came to borrow food, there is not much rice at home to give you corn and you don't want it.
We have to have rice, and if we can’t borrow it, we won’t communicate with each other. Why are you so shameless now?”
"Do you know what happened to my mother behind her back? Now that you want to borrow money, remember that our family is here. Let me tell you, there are no doors, not even windows."
It was hard for his parents to say this and break their skin, but Zhang An had nothing to be afraid of, so he just said it directly. When dealing with such people, you must be straightforward.
If you are more tactful with him, he will really pretend to be disgusting with you.
"Zhang An, although we have done some things in the past, we are all brothers and sisters after all. We are a family with broken bones and connected tendons. How can you say that?"
This man actually looked like he was wiping away tears, which made Zhang An disgusted.
"Okay, that's it for now. Where are you two coming from and where are you going back? There's no need to waste time here. Money will definitely not be borrowed. Don't say it's not there. It's impossible to give it to you. I've already seen through your behavior.
What kind of people are we in this family? Leave quickly and don’t affect our family’s cooking for lunch.”
Zhang An no longer wanted to pretend to be with the two of them, so he simply opened his mouth and chased them away.
"Dad, Mom, please remember, we must distinguish clearly who is good to our family and who is not good to our family. Good neighbors come to your door with good food and wine, while evil relatives come to your door and are treated with sticks."
After hearing Zhang An's hard-hearted words, it was impossible for the two of them to take advantage of this.
Moreover, they originally planned to use nice words to borrow the money, but if they don't repay it after borrowing, it's not up to them.
"Okay, Zhang Jianguo, Zhang An, your family has become rich and rich, so you no longer look down on these poor relatives. Just wait, the master will watch what you do today."
The two of them were rushed to the entrance of the courtyard by Zhang An, who turned around and said harsh words.
The sound was so loud that it was heard by all the neighbors. Everyone stood at the door to watch the excitement. The family diagonally opposite was even more happy to see it, and they all laughed unscrupulously.
But this time, Zhang An became even more ruthless.
He directly lifted the two of them up one by one and threw them out the door.
"Let's go quickly, don't embarrass yourself here."
Then he turned around and said to the big guys: "I'm really sorry for letting you guys watch the fun. This person is my mother's maternal uncle who has been divorced. Everyone knew before that when I was born, my grandparents
When we left, not one of them came to our door. Today they just heard that our family was doing well and came to borrow money to suck blood."
"It turns out that this person is their mother-in-law. We know their mother-in-law. These people are really shameless."
"Yes, we didn't see these people when Uncle Zhang and Mrs. Zhang left."
"If such relatives come to my house, I will give them a stick and let them eat before they leave."
.....
The two of them didn't expect that they wanted to use righteousness to deal with Zhang An's family by causing trouble outside. But they didn't expect that as soon as Zhang An said a few words, these people started talking about themselves.
Immediately, he gave Zhang An a few hard glances and ran away dejectedly.
Zhang An returned to his house and saw that his mother and father were not very interested.
My mother has not had an easy life these past few years. Because of some rumors from the outside world, she is no longer the little girl in her twenties.
"Mom, don't think too much. Our family doesn't need such relatives. Don't you think it's bad to have relatives like the second uncle's family and the third uncle's family? We don't have contact with them anymore. We still have two of our own.
An uncle, and a neighbor in our village."
"Xiao An, I'm not worried about their family, I'm worried about your grandmother's affairs in the future. When the time comes..."
"Mom, it's okay. We have a car at home. We can go whenever you want. We can go and come back the same day. At worst, we can just bring grandma to our house to live. Don't worry about these people.
It’s not worth the pain to heartless people.”
Zhang An understood what his mother was thinking. It didn't mean that she had cut off contact with her maternal uncles. When the time came, people outside would say that her family would not recognize her relatives.
As early as when Zhang An's grandparents passed away, many people had already said this.
She was just worried that no one would tell her if Zhang An's grandmother was not in good health in the future, or that she would not be allowed to fulfill her filial piety.
Anyway, this takes time to get used to.
The drama about Zhang An's family, where evil relatives came to visit, was talked about by everyone in the village.
Some people think that Zhang An's family should do this, and some people think that Zhang An's family can't do things well.
Anyway, hundreds of people have their own opinions.
The incident didn't happen to me, but when I spoke, I was upright and upright.
Zhang An still said what he said: Don't tell others to do good if you don't know the suffering of others. It's up to you to do right or wrong, and it's up to others to criticize or praise others. But when you do good deeds, don't ask about the future.
"Okay mom, I'm hungry."
In order to comfort his mother, Zhang An had to pretend to be good to his mother.
Sure enough, Zhang An said he was hungry, and Wang Fang lost all his unhappiness.
Went into the kitchen and started working on lunch.
"It's a bit reckless of you to do this. When the time comes, your reputation will be bad."
Only Zhang An and Zhang An's father, Zhang Jianguo, were left in the main room.
Zhang Jianguo also talked to his son.
"Dad, this is not a question of whether to be reckless or not. I know you can't say this to my mother, but what are you doing with such a relative? It would be better to just cut it off."
"Reputation is something that outsiders comment on. No matter what we do, some people will think it's not good. So why not do something that makes you feel comfortable? Anyway, I don't care. I can just live well by myself in the future. Isn't it hard to be a grown-up?"
I don’t care if having a bad impression of me will leave me without food or clothes."
"Don't think about it, dad. You have to cut down some bamboos later and come back to build a rabbit cage. I didn't just mean it when I said I wanted to raise rabbits."
After hearing Zhang An's words, Zhang Jianguo remembered that his son had caught two rabbits in the morning.
"This rabbit is pretty good. It's so big. It's a male and a female. The cubs should be able to grow to such a big size."
Zhang Jianguo took a closer look at the two rabbits.
