Chapter four hundred and fifty fifth: finally confessed
In the old community, the house is not soundproofed. Just now, there were beatings, quarrels, and banging sounds. I am afraid that I could hear them upstairs, downstairs, left, and right.
Especially Aunt Li next door.
If she hadn't really been unable to do such a shameless thing, she would have put her ear to the security door when she heard the quarrel.
My husband and children are already used to it.
After all, in addition to being inquiring, my wife/mother has a good reputation in the community and dares to stand up when something happens.
But even though she couldn't do it, Aunt Li was in the room right now, with the TV volume turned down, and she was listening with her ears straightened up.
It's a pity that I didn't hear it clearly enough.
I only heard about some romantic partners, that they were worthless, and that they were looking for someone, and about boys...
This is normal, after all, only Ding Haiyang's loud voice can roar loudly. Although Ding Wei's words are poisonous, her voice is not too loud when she really wants to say it.
——Can a loud voice determine whether the momentum is powerful or not?
However, even though these are just fragments of words, Aunt Li has perfected her narration skills and can now weave 108 heart-stirring short stories.
…
No, while she was sorting out these words in her head, she suddenly heard a loud "bang" in the room next door, as if something fell to the floor and clattered to the floor. She became excited - the drama was coming!
But unfortunately, I didn't hear clearly what was said. I only knew that not long after, the old security door made another "creep" sound.
Ah, that’s the end of the quarrel!
At this moment, Aunt Li jumped up from the sofa with an extremely strong and flexible posture, put on thick coral velvet pajamas, and opened the door of her house.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Ding Wei and his party preparing to go downstairs.
If I take a closer look at Weiwei, I can’t see her face, so I don’t know what her emotions are.
But looking at Ding Haiyang and his sister's eyes were red, it was obvious that she was not in a good mood.
There is also a young man.
Aunt Li vaguely remembered that this should also be Ding Haiyang's sister's son. Now that he looked carefully, he also had reddish eye circles and an angry expression. He was still carrying the things he had brought through the door when he came here.
In this short time, Aunt Learmoth had combined many details. Based on the few words she heard before, she quickly came to the conclusion that Weiwei's boyfriend was not welcomed by Ding Haiyang's family.
Her eyes flicked to Xie Yan's face again.
This shouldn't be the case.
The young man is young. His back is straight, his figure is tall and thin, and his appearance is first-rate. His temperament is also excellent...
How can you still be picked on by Bai Xiujuan?
Is she too bad? Or does Bai Xiujuan have too high standards?
Also? On New Year's Eve, Weiwei brought her boyfriend to her home? Why did her aunt come to the door?
Besides, even if the conversation wasn't good, it wouldn't be like following my aunt and her family without eating.
All kinds of questions are tangled in Aunt Li's mind? It makes her feel like she is scratching her head. She feels uncomfortable if she doesn't understand it clearly.
…
She smiled politely.
"Oh, Weiwei, why are you still going out during the Chinese New Year? Have you had lunch? Why don't you come to my house and have something to eat."
He turned and looked at the young man again, "Oh, Sister Ding? This is your son, right? He's so handsome!"
"Look at you parents... God has given all the benefits to your family! What's wrong? Is there anything unhappy about New Year's Eve?"
She said in a friendly manner, "This is all a small matter, come on, come on, it's a cold day, come and sit at my house and have some food, it's time..."
In fact, her family doesn't have much good food. After all, the highlight is the New Year's Eve dinner in the evening, but most people wouldn't rush to other people's homes at this time, so they just want to be polite.
As soon as Ding Wei's mind changed, she started thinking about what she wanted to say.
…
After all, Aunt Li is a loudspeaker who can spread rumors - but she also has the ability to identify truth. Whatever she says is consistent with the truth, so she is quite famous.
Ding Wei wants to spread some news about herself and control public opinion in advance, so this is a good candidate.
Who knew that before she could speak, Zhou Haitao, who was standing at the edge, couldn't hold back his depression and spoke out angrily.
"Auntie, you are my uncle's neighbor. If nothing happens, you should try to persuade him. Why are you still a parent like this?"
"You said that he didn't pay my sister's tuition and living expenses for a year, and he also complained that she borrowed money to go to school, and complained that she borrowed too much..."
"My sister goes to school and does part-time jobs. How can she get so much money to pay tuition and support herself? If she doesn't borrow money, is she going to starve to death?"
He did know that his sister was now a well-known writer, but there was no reason why he should suffer this injustice even though he was capable.
Seeing what his uncle said today, he still wants his mother to help take care of the children——
Pooh!
His face is really as big as a basin.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
…
When I get angry, I talk more and more.
"My sister brought brother Xie back to celebrate the New Year. They criticized her family for being poor, and said they were optimistic about the local area..."
"How can you be a parent like this? My sister is only a sophomore in college..."
I wanted to be shameless, but there was an older aunt across from me, so I could only swallow the painting.
"...Is the whole family counting on my sister's money to live? I opened my mouth just for my brother, but the child was crying like that, and his body was sticky and no one was scrubbing it. He couldn't even bear to use diapers. The diapers were all old ones.
It's almost dried into old coarse cloth, my sister asked me to go out and buy it..."
"My sister is so soft-hearted, why is she so unlucky?"
"We bought these things with good intentions, but when we asked them to come and sit down, they still looked down upon them. Afterwards, they even kicked over the coffee table at home..."
As he spoke, he showed Aunt Li what he had in his hand.
Aunt Li remembered what she was carrying. He saw it when he came here and thought it was brought by siblings visiting each other.
In this day and age, money is still relatively valuable, and visiting relatives and friends during the New Year is nothing more than these things.
Not rude.
Aunt Li's eyes immediately became complicated.
…
Zhou Haitao also had something to say in his heart.
His uncle and aunt really wanted to eat shit.
——Xiao Ge is like this. Although he is still a little unpleasant, he is afraid of comparison in everything.
After all, I have to admit that apart from not being the richest man, Brother Xie is impeccable in all aspects.
Even if there were shortcomings, it would definitely be much better than the family his uncle found.
With how eager they are to see money, how can they pick out any good people?
And that little doll.
How pitiful.
New and old grudges were mixed together. Zhou Haitao didn't care about etiquette at the moment. He just opened his mouth and let it out. If he kept it in his heart, it would be really uncomfortable.
But after he finished speaking, he came to his senses and couldn't help but look back at his mother and sister.
The aunt sighed and said nothing more.
There are some words that children should not say nonsense if they are not sensible.
But some words just happen to require an ignorant person to say them.
Haitao has grown up now and knows what can and cannot be said.
…
But when Ding Wei reached her mouth, she suddenly swallowed it back.
Brother Haitao ran out to buy diapers and missed many big scenes.
But now his words are so confusing and incoherent that they actually leave a lot of room for imagination. This shows that he has extraordinary talent and is worthy of being Weiweizi's younger brother who made up stories!
Looking at the expression on Aunt Li’s face opposite, she was simply shocked!
Aunt Li's eyes turned to everyone, and she quickly changed her position - becoming filled with indignation.
"Yeah, what's going on with Ding Haiyang and Xiujuan? I never thought they were like this before!"
At this time, Ding Wei looked at Zhou Haitao and whispered:
"Okay, Haitao, don't talk about this. My dad has already said that I borrowed too much money for school..."
"He also said that he has already made an agreement with me. He will ask them to come and visit me during the holidays. Once the bride price is enough, the decision will be made..."
As he spoke, his head lowered.
…
You can't do it without bowing your head. We haven't taken any acting training classes, so we can't express emotions that are too deep and complex.
At this moment, there should be three parts disbelief, four parts pain, and five parts sadness and resignation.
I couldn't express my expression, so I had to lower my head and rely on other people's imagination.
But fortunately, just a bow of your head can tell a thousand words.
Aunt Li was angry at that time
"What's going on?"
"How could you do such a thing!"
She loves gossip, she loves gossip, and her sense of justice has never been absent.
"Why do your parents have such audacity to say that, when you think they don't know that they won't give you tuition and living expenses?"
"Weiwei, it's up to you to be honest, otherwise you would be the only one of our family members to go to Mingda University. At that time, several leaders gave you gifts - if you want to know how you are living now, people from the labor union should come to visit you.
"
"The couple is doing well, they are getting a salary and have no foreign debt, so what's the matter?"
"And looking for a partner - what age are we in this? It's okay if the child likes it? Let them look at one and then settle it down... Don't ask for a betrothal gift and don't care whether you live or die!"
…
Aunt Li took the eldest aunt's hand and said sincerely
"Her aunt, you need to persuade the child. Don't listen to her parents' nonsense - Ding Haiyang bought a fishing rod for more than 6,000 yuan. Our work unit knows it and it has spread throughout the country."
"And after receiving the year-end bonus, I bought myself a watch. The Longines one cost more than 10,000."
"The leader was joking about this that day - I'm not talking nonsense, this was all said by Ding Haiyang himself."
"Can you afford to pay for your children just like this? Don't believe it."
The aunt's face became distorted and changed several times.
Seriously, if you don’t listen to a few words, you won’t know how limitless Ding Haiyang’s service is!
People these days have a strong sense of collective honor in their units, and their sense of justice is never lacking.
Aunt Li gritted her teeth and said, "Weiwei, don't be afraid. Parents should pay for their children's schooling. After the Chinese New Year, I will go to the labor union to talk about this matter. I don't think they will care about it."
These days, workplace unions vary from place to place, but as far as Ding Wei knows, the union at her parents' workplace is really in charge of everything.
People are always present at funerals and weddings, and their presence is quite strong.
Even more than ten years later, this style is still maintained.
However, the current situation is not that good.
After all, she doesn't intend to pretend to be poor her whole life.
…
She looked at Aunt Li and apologized sincerely, "Thank you, Auntie, but no, I also have a part-time job in the imperial capital, and the money I borrowed is not that much. I just can't keep up with my living expenses sometimes..."
"But I can do it myself! My mother still has to support my younger brother, and she really doesn't have much money... My younger brother can't even afford diapers."
She lowered her head and finally said
"Forget it, auntie. My boyfriend is in a poor condition right now, and my parents are worried that I won't be able to live a good life in the future. When we start working and earn money in a few years, they will definitely look away.
"
"Moreover……"
Ding Wei spoke softly and looked considerate of everyone.
"If this matter comes to the union, and the employer deducts some bonuses, etc., and there is an additional child in the family, how will they live? I can't afford my brother's life either."
"When the time comes, Auntie, you'll have to complain if you can't say good-hearted things."
…
She was about to speak, but she was hesitant to speak. She heard the thoughts in Aunt Li's mind whirling around, and in the end she could only sigh helplessly.
Yes, it's difficult to handle.
First of all, this matter needs to be brought to the trade union, and then it has to be formally handled, and maybe the matter of having a second child will be brought up.
The second-child policy is still unclear. If the bonus is deducted or expelled due to this matter, Lao Ding's family's financial resources will be greatly reduced. What will happen to the children at home?
She didn't like the couple, but she didn't want to do something so extreme.
After all, if the couple and the younger son have no money, wouldn’t the pressure still be on the eldest daughter?
Aunt Li's eyes became softer.
This kid...oh, why is he so good?
After hearing what his sister said, Zhou Haitao, who was charging forward, suddenly shuddered for some unknown reason.
Even Xie Yan covered the corners of his mouth calmly.
Only the aunt’s eyes were filled with tears for a moment——
This kid, this kid!
When I heard her speak forcefully at Haiyang's house before, I thought she was being pressured, but now it seems that she is still soft-hearted!
What should we do? Her parents will tease her a lot in the future.
Only my uncle Zhou Lei looked left and right, always feeling that something was not quite right.
…
The group of people carried their things in silence and returned to the aunt's house.
It was now past 11 o'clock, and my aunt was busy going to the kitchen to heat up the food, while Zhou Haitao immediately opened the carton of milk and distributed it one by one.
When the aunt brought out the food, she couldn't help but blame him.
"I have opened some at home, why are you still unpacking this box? It would be great to keep it for Chinese New Year gifts."
"That won't work."
Zhou Haitao bit his straw and purred.
"I picked this box specially. It's almost expired. It's inappropriate to give it away. Let's drink it. It's still two months away."
Aunt...
Uncle Zhou Lei said with a smile, "Okay, I know how to live. Come, come, eat."
Although we had a quarrel in the morning, it didn't affect everyone's appetite.
To be honest, no matter how secretly happy Ding Wei was, her aunt and uncle felt an inexplicable sense of relaxation in their hearts.
how to say?
Weiwei has been going back and forth over this matter today. It seems that the two children are a little sad, but the long-term pain is not as good as the short-term pain.
To be honest, when my aunt heard that Ding Haiyang said that she had already made a reservation, she felt very happy in her heart——
Fortunately, Xiao Xie came over.
Otherwise, Weiwei's soft-tempered personality would attract people's attention during the Chinese New Year. If she cancels the ceremony after the wedding, the girl's reputation will be damaged no matter what.
Just like that, she wanted to put some money on her parents' faces and not let the aunt across the street tell her that if she was deceived for a moment, she actually fell in love with the young man her parents told her about...
My aunt said otherwise, she didn't believe that Ding Haiyang had the brains to like any outstanding person.
That's a lifetime thing.
Too bad.
It's so sad to see these parents.
And that poor little baby.
Ouch...
Seeing Ding Wei coming out to wipe her hands after washing the dishes, the aunt couldn't help but rub her forehead.
--Headache.
…
Auntie's troubles were visible to the naked eye. Brother Haitao looked at his mother and then his sister, but hesitated to speak.
Xie Yan patted Ding Wei's hand.
This seemed to be a silent encouragement and finally made her make up her mind.
She has been hiding it for so long, and her aunt is not the aunt she remembered in her previous life. Instead, she has worried so much about her.
The small book booth that book lovers used before has been hung up, and now they are basically using microphones for reading.
It really shouldn't be concealed any longer.
Ding Wei hesitated for a long time, now sitting with her aunt, and finally said
"Auntie, let me tell you something, don't be angry."
"Actually, I didn't borrow any money. I wrote novels while going to school and made a lot of money. I don't have to worry about living expenses and tuition at all."
"Auntie, I have already bought a house in the imperial capital."
