Xiao Tong was slightly stunned, and the chopsticks holding noodles paused.
"My mother and aunt... are just that, not good, not particularly bad... just like that."
Xue Ling quickly found a word, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Isn't it salty or not light?"
"Yes." Xiao Tong nodded: "Although my mother didn't tell us anything, she had a big relationship with her aunt. Auntie, you all lived in Rongcheng before, and when did cousin and Ahu cousin live in the provincial capital?
I would go back to Rongcheng from time to time. I was still young at that time, but I remember everyone was happy when they got together. Ah Hu's cousin was very enthusiastic and generous, and everyone talked and laughed a little bit
There is no rift."
Wang Qing nodded in agreement: "Yes, Cui Liu got along well with everyone in the years she just married. Not to mention your mother, when our family gathered together to open a supermarket, your mother
It is the main force over there. She, Ahu, Lingling and others are all very good!"
Xiao Tong smiled bitterly: "It didn't work later. When I was a teenager, my mother had a fight with my aunt several times, and my mother even cried. I was curious about what happened, but my mother refused to tell me.
, I called me a child ignorant, don't ask too many questions. I later eavesdropped on my father coaxing my mother, and I guessed that she had a fight with my aunt."
"Economic dispute?" Xue Ling asked.
Xiao Tong shook her head: "More than that. I remember one time it was because my aunt and grandfather had a quarrel. My mother was very angry and said that my aunt was so angry that she was so angry that she was not responsible for doing things. It seemed that my aunt's younger brother came to Rongcheng and said that it was her family.
There was no TV, so my aunt asked her to bring the old TV at home back. My aunt turned around and moved the TV into a donkey cart. The TV was originally watched by my grandfather every day, but she made her own decisions without saying hello.
He said how could she not tell her that her aunt just said an old TV was not worth much money. Grandpa got angry and scolded her for not respecting him, and then started arguing."
Wang Qing couldn't help frowning: "Your mother didn't persuade her? Instead, she started arguing with your aunt?"
"Grandpa is sick." Xiao Tong explained: "My mother heard that her grandfather was sick, so she hurried back to visit her. Later, she had a big fight with her aunt and left unhappily. My mother simply paid for her to buy a new one for her grandfather.
The TV set, things settled."
Xue Ling asked again: "When did you divide the shares? Where is the big supermarket?"
Xiao Tong thought for a while and replied: "I had been in college for many years. My mother invested 10% of the money, but she didn't have much money. Later, she said she could barely get back tens of thousands of dollars and only get it back.
After the capital, I almost didn't make much money. I heard that my aunt's family was very unreasonable. She went to the supermarket to move goods every few days, and my aunt kept the accounts in a mess. Later, my uncle re-checked the account book and made up my mother for more than 30,000 yuan.
From then on, the businesses of the two families were completely separated.”
Wang Qing sighed: "Business is separated, and the relationship is irrelevant."
"Yeah." Xiao Tong buried his head and whispered: "My mother scolded my uncle... She said that he was too cowardly and could not control his own business, so she asked my aunt and her family to do whatever she wanted in the supermarket. My aunt heard it and followed me
My mother had another fight. Since then, unless we went to greet my uncle during the Chinese New Year, we had almost no contact at other times."
Xue Ling was no exception, explaining: "No matter how good the relationship between brothers and sisters is, if the partner has a quarrel, it will also affect the relationship between brothers and sisters. Even if the family affection is still there, it will naturally become unfamiliar if you don't move much."
"That's natural." Wang Qing agreed.
Xiao Tong couldn't help but defend her old mother: "My mother still cares about her uncle and a few nieces. She occasionally secretly asks her uncle to go to my house for dinner and secretly buys some stationery or clothes for Xiaohao and the others.
My mother said that she only had her uncle's family left in her mother's family, how could she be able to give up?"
In terms of family affection and reason, she stood on her mother's side.
Xue Ling chuckled: "We all know that your mother is honest and honest, almost the same as your uncle. In fact, your aunt is not a bad person, she just can't handle the troubles caused by her family. In addition, her ability is not very good.
People with ideas are easily deceived, and people are easily led by the nose if they have no ideas."
"Yes!" Xiao Tong murmured in a muffled voice: "My uncle is actually quite miserable. He is entangled by a group of dog skin plasters. His hands and feet cannot move. No matter how rich he has, he cannot withstand such losses. My mother feels sorry for his uncle, but in her heart
If you are angry, you will inevitably not be very nice when you are angry."
Xue Ling nodded and asked, "How did your mother know about Xiaohao this time?"
"She found out." Xiao Tong explained: "It was not what my uncle said, and it was even more impossible for my aunt. She hasn't talked to my mother for many years."
Xue Ling whispered: "You are a junior, don't get involved in the right and wrong of adults. You, pretend to know nothing, you should respect your elders. Unless the two families have great hatred, you will be very grateful.
Never get along with your elders with resentment.”
"I know." Xiao Tong lowered his voice: "My dad said so too. My aunt was in a bad mood. I tried my best to persuade her to coax her, and didn't dare to say anything. Auntie, I will definitely help take good care of Xiaohao and my aunt these days.
of."
Xue Ling gently stroked her soft long hair and said warmly: "That's right. Eat quickly and go to rest after eating."
Xiao Tong answered well well.
After Xue Ling finished his home, he drove to Ronghua Mall.
Xiao Liao explained that they had been arranged and that the heating and gas pipelines were being repaired quickly, and they were trying to get other residents back to normal before tonight. As for compensation for the fire, they are now claiming compensation from the insurance company, and the rest are handing over to the police station.
"Don't worry, I've handled it well here."
Xue Ling gave him a thumbs up: "Good! You are my most capable left-hand man. If you hadn't helped me manage the industry under my name over the years, I would have been in a mess."
"You are polite." Xiao Liao chuckled: "Fortunately, you appreciate me so much, otherwise no matter how good my ability is, I will have no room for display."
Xue Ling shook her head: "It's gold that always shines, and no matter where you go, you will always have a bright day. By the way, Xiao Liao, how are your parents' health recently? Are they all good?"
Xiao Liao paused and turned to a bitter smile.
"My mother... has been in good health recently. After the weather got colder, she went to the hospital several times. My dad and the nurse helped her take care of her, and my brother and I took turns to go to the night watch."
Xue Ling asked in surprise: "What's going on? At the beginning of the year, I met Sister Cai. She was energetic, but she was a little thin, and she looked pretty good!"
Since Xiao Jiaxue retired and went abroad with her husband, there are not many old friends left around her.
Liao Zongnan and Cai Yunyan have been in touch with her for many years, and have made appointments to have dinner together from time to time, chat and drink some wine.
Xiao Liao shook his head helplessly: "My mother is old||I'm a bad thing. She had a serious illness before... You knew it at that time, and you helped save my mother. The doctor said that my mother could live smoothly to this age.
