"Why are they here? Didn't we already draw a clear line before?" Hao Ren frowned and said with some dissatisfaction.
"Well, after all, they are all born to the same mother. They may also have their own difficulties. They are all old things. Now that you are successful, don't care."
Xu Lan explained in a low voice.
"Mom, you have to be soft-hearted depending on who you are. Those white-eyed wolves, you gave them your heart and soul at the beginning, and when you ask them for help, which one of them will help us!"
Hao Ren was already a little angry and looked at Hao Yue, "Sister, tell me if what I said is right."
Hao Yue was quietly peeling grapes and eating them while holding Lele in her arms. Suddenly, she saw her mother and brother's eyes all focused on her, blinking her eyes a little innocently.
"This, what you said is all right, all right..."
Typically no one is to blame.
"The grass on the wall will fall wherever the wind blows!"
Hao Ren laughed and cursed.
"Anyway, they have already said hello to me and said they will come over tomorrow. Don't show off your stinky airs then."
Xu Lan said stubbornly, but Hao Ren had no choice in this regard. He could not fall out with his mother because of such a trivial matter.
"I'm coming here tomorrow. Do you know that I'm coming back today? If you really meant it, you would have come to our house a long time ago." Hao Ren asked suspiciously. He always felt that these relatives of his came here with bad intentions.
Xu Lan snorted, "We are all relatives, and we usually work outside. We are only at home during the Chinese New Year."
"That's fine, whatever you want, but as a joke, they have no right to eat the things I brought. They have all been hidden by me. If they borrow money, they won't get a cent!"
Hao Ren was helpless, but he also made a few requests of his own.
"I agree with my brother!"
This time, wallflower Hao Yue finally expressed his position.
After all, she was one of the witnesses to what happened back then, but she was still young and only in elementary school, so she didn't have deep feelings about it, but she also knew the faces of her relatives.
Father Hao Dahai didn't say anything. It seemed that he was the pillar of the family, but his mother made the final decision on all major matters. As long as her mother decided something, he basically wouldn't say anything.
The next day, the house became lively because Hao Ren's mother's sisters had already arrived, and they all brought the family with them.
"Lao San, you have suffered a lot these years..."
A middle-aged woman in the lead looked at her mother with tears in her eyes.
"Third sister, it was not good for me to be the older sister before. I'm sorry for you..."
"Third brother, you know sister, sister also has difficulties..."
Early in the morning, there was a good show in the yard.
Before Hao Ren got up, he was dragged out of bed by Hao Yue. When he walked out, he saw his mother, Xu Lan, looking at his sisters with red eyes.
Looking at those familiar faces, Hao Ren's information flashed through his mind.
My aunt, Xu Hua, and her husband are from a nearby village and run a canteen.
The second aunt, Xu Miao, and her husband were from another village. They seemed to drive tractors. At that time, tractor driving was very profitable, and it was also something that the second aunt was extremely proud of.
The third child is his mother, Xu Lan, who married Hao Dahai.
Grandma has a total of three daughters and one son, Hao Ren's uncle, Xu Li. This uncle has a good relationship with his mother, Xu Lan. It was my uncle who secretly gave them a thousand yuan.
This is something Hao Ren has always kept in mind. He had originally planned to visit his uncle during the Chinese New Year this year.
Now, this uncle has also come, standing aside, looking at the scene of the sisters recognizing each other with some embarrassment. Needless to say, he was definitely brought here by the two sisters. Otherwise, with his uncle's character, he would only be late at night.
Quietly visit my mother.
"Xiao Ren, you are back."
Seeing Hao Ren, uncle Xu Li suddenly showed a happy smile, stepped forward, and took a closer look.
"Uncle, you are here, come in and sit down quickly. I just happened to bring some good tea from Liuzhou City. You can try it."
A smile appeared on Hao Ren's face, completely ignoring the looks of several aunts, and brought his uncle into the house.
"Xiaoren has this temper, don't worry about him, hurry up and talk to the house, eldest sister, second sister, you haven't eaten yet, I'll go cook."
Xu Lan explained to Hao Ren and enthusiastically asked everyone to enter the room.
The two families also brought many people, including adults and children. Xu Hua has a son who is now married and the child is just one year old.
Xu Miao has a son and a daughter. They are Hao Ren's cousins. The daughter has just gotten married and is said to have bought a house in the county. The son is three years older than Hao Ren and is not married yet. It is said that Xu Miao asked someone to introduce him.
But it didn't work out.
This was what his mother, Xu Lan, told Hao Ren. Otherwise, he wouldn't have listened to these nonsense. It's none of his business what kind of life people live!
A large group of people were sitting in the house, and the small house seemed a bit crowded.
Of course, when these relatives came, they also brought a lot of things, including a box of liquor worth tens of dollars, a few chickens, and a few boxes of milk, but they were all left at the door.
"Xiaoren, I haven't seen you in these years. I didn't expect that you have become a young man now. It seems that the third son was right when he asked you to go to this university. It is better for you to be an intellectual."
Aunt Xu Hua said with a smile, but she picked up a cup of tea from the coffee table and drank it.
This is the tea that Hao Ren specially bought, Tieguanyin, for five thousand yuan a pound, just for his family to drink.
"Good tea, Xiaoren really knows how to enjoy it now. This tea must be expensive, right?"
"It's not bad, it depends on the person. Some people drink it just like cows chewing peonies, which is a waste of things."
Hao Ren said with some disgust.
As soon as these words came out, Xu Lan's expression changed and she kept winking at Hao Ren.
"Eldest sister, second sister, come and help me cook."
Xu Lan said to her two sisters.
Xu Hua and Xu Miao both looked a little ugly, but after hearing Xu Lan's voice, they got up and left.
"You juniors, let's chat casually together and eat later."
Looking at several of my cousins, the one from my aunt's house was noisy with his wife and children. The cousin from my second aunt's house had a tattoo on his arm and had a social look on his face. The cousin was following a man.
It seems careless.
Hao Ren even forgot their names.
"Xiaoren, did you buy the car at the door? How much did it cost? I heard someone said it cost hundreds of thousands before."
At this time, my aunt's cousin asked. This was also a question they were all concerned about, and they all pricked up their ears.
Hao Ren nodded, not wanting to talk to them at all, and started chatting with his uncle Xu Li.
"Where does uncle work recently?"
"A construction team is following us in the county."
Xu Li said a little nonchalantly, his character is a bit weak, otherwise, he would not be dragged into the vanguard by his two sisters.
"How's the salary? If you're too tired, you can find something a little easier."
Hao Ren said with some concern.
"It's okay. It's more than 3,000 yuan a month. It takes care of food and housing. It's enough."
"If you are short of money, let me know. If it doesn't work, I will help you find a job. After all, staying on the construction site is not a long-term solution."
"It's okay. I'm used to it. I really don't know what I would do if I weren't on the construction site."
Xu Li quickly shook his head and rejected Hao Ren's kindness.
Several people on the side heard Hao Ren's words, and their expressions were a little ugly. However, thinking of the adults' instructions when they came here before, they all forced themselves to endure it.
"Cousin, I know that you are doing well now. You have made a fortune in Liuzhou City. After all, we are also cousins. If something good happens, don't forget about your family."
The second cousin also helped.
Hao Ren didn't answer, but he wanted to laugh in his heart. When I was not developed, you all wished that we would never be related to each other in this life. Now you just come to your door to recognize your relatives. How shameless are you!
"Xiao Ren, I heard that you opened a supermarket in Liuzhou City. I happen to have some free time recently. They are all members of my family. Why don't I go and help you?"
The eldest cousin and the others didn't seem to notice, so they continued.
"Yes, we are all free recently. I know it's hard for you, cousin, to work hard outside alone, so I'd like to help you share the burden. Of course, it's easy to talk about wages and other things."
The second cousin actually spoke up, pointing to her husband beside her, "Awei can also drive, so it will be convenient for you to carry your things."
"..."
As the eldest cousin pierced the window paper, several people stopped covering up and looked directly at Hao Ren.
Seeing the expressions of his cousins, Hao Yue shrank her head in fear, as if looking at a group of man-eating wolves, huddled on the sofa with Lele in her arms.
Hao Ren looked at them with no trace of surprise on his face. On the contrary, a smile appeared on his face. He finally understood the purpose of his group of relatives. Restoring the relationship was a lie, and the real intention was to extract benefits from himself.
But he didn't expect that these guys were really greedy enough to focus on his supermarket all of a sudden. He could imagine that if these bugs really entered his supermarket, the store would be completely destroyed by them in less than three months!
"I feel like you guys have said less?"
Hao Ren chuckled and spoke slowly.
"What?"
A group of people were stunned.
"Borrowing money, shouldn't this be discussed before you guys come here?"
Hao Ren said jokingly.
"Hao Ren, what do you mean? We want to help you for the sake of our own family, so don't be ungrateful!"
The second cousin's expression changed, and he spoke with a somewhat fierce tone, while the tattoo on his arm twisted.
"Why, if I tell you the truth, I won't be able to save my face."
Hao Ren sneered and lay lazily on the sofa, "Want to hit someone? Come on, I will never resist. Don't worry, I won't let you stay in jail for ten or eight years. I, Hao Ren, can't be said
Come and write."
"The deputy mayor of Liuzhou City just finished dinner with me before I went home. If you don't believe it, you can try it."
"Boy, don't be impulsive!"
Hearing this, the eldest cousin, the second cousin, and the others all stopped the second cousin. Although they didn't know whether what Hao Ren said was true or false, they were still intimidated by the confidence.
"Cousin, we are all relatives, that's all."
At this time, the second cousin began to play the family card, "I know that we had some conflicts before, but it has been so many years and my third aunt doesn't care anymore. Why are you still so petty?"
"What, half a million?"
Hao Ren was about to say something when he suddenly heard his mother's exclamation. He quickly got up from the sofa and walked outside the door.
