Chapter 132 132. Auntie’s method of paying gold
Urban areas.
Aunt Song Hongmei hung up the phone and walked around the house twice. Finally, she gritted her teeth and carried a bag of Sophora japonica to the opposite community.
The seventh cousin lives here.
When the demolition was first carried out, the old couple wanted to live with their son, so they specially asked for a large apartment.
Unexpectedly, the plan could not keep up with the changes, and the house was delayed again and again. By the time it was completed, my son would have already taken root in the border area.
Now that they live in a large, empty house, the old couple are struggling just to clean it every day.
When Song Hongmei knocked on the door, the seventh cousin was watering water on the balcony—
There is no way, this community is quite new, but the house type is still the same as before. The balcony is not too big. In order to make full use of it, the seventh cousin built a layer of railings, then placed a layer of plastic boxes below, and hollowed out the plastic water pipes on the upper layer. Onions, garlic sprouts, lettuce, cabbage... were planted inside.
Spring and autumn are fine, but not many can survive in winter.
But when summer comes, the enclosed balcony has poor ventilation, and even a tomato plant will grow spider mites, but they don’t like to spray pesticides on the entrance.
As soon as summer comes, the seventh cousin murmurs while shopping for groceries.
The worst thing is that the vegetables they grow on their own balcony, due to various reasons such as lighting and ventilation, are not as good as those sold by other vegetable vendors!
After going back and forth for so many years, the seventh cousin himself became disheartened.
It’s just that the habit of growing vegetables can’t be lost for a while, so the balcony is still densely covered with green leaves.
Grandma Qi went to open the door: "Hey, Hongmei, why are you here so late at night?"
Song Hongmei smiled, and then said loudly: "Cousin, I brought you some Sophora japonica flowers. You can smell them, they are absolutely delicious!"
Doesn’t the seventh cousin know about her yet?
At this moment, he snorted coldly: "Hongmei, I must have picked this up when I went back to my hometown. If I spend an extra dollar, you won't be willing to bring it to me."
This is what I said.
Song Hongmei laughed twice: "Cousin, how can you think of me like this? I'm not that kind of person."
“You are.”
Seventh Cousin remembered it in his mind: "When you came back to look at my house last time, the dishes you brought looked fresh, but I knew at a glance that they must have been bought at a bargain with others, but they were just carefully packed."
This is why he disagrees with Song Hongmei's proposal to provide them with old age care.
It’s really hard to live like this!
This guy is stingy!
He also knew about Song Youde's family, and he didn't know how to raise this girl. He was very calculating.
Therefore, he didn't even look at the locust flower. He walked over to the rocking chair with his hands behind his back and sat on the rocking chair: "If you still talk about what happened last time, then I'll tell you - no, when will you be willing to show me the abalone ginseng wings and belly?" Okay, let’s talk slowly.”
Abalone and ginseng wing belly? !
Auntie would never even think about this kind of ingredient! Just listening to it makes me feel sick.
At this moment, he quickly said: "Cousin, I'm not here for myself today, I'm here for my niece."
The seventh cousin became interested: "Which niece is this?"
The aunt quickly explained: "My brother's daughter, Tan Tan, Song Tan - do you remember?"
“Oh, the girl has a nose and eyes, she is also filial, and her character is definitely above the standard!”
"That won't work." The seventh cousin flatly refused: "I don't want the girl's family to support me in my old age."
"Why?" The aunt was unhappy: "Don't you favor boys over girls?"
“I don’t know your niece’s character. With your guarantee, I can probably trust her. The problem is that if she gets married and starts a family, and her husband’s family is not happy, how can she divorce her for me?”
The seventh cousin is old and has a lot of experience. He has also seen a lot of women in the world. Many girls’ families don’t care how good they were before marriage. Once they get married, it’s like they’ve lost a couple of bones. Whatever their husband’s family says, it’s up to them.
There are some strong people, but if you marry someone, you will not be immune to grievances. Why should he participate?
Hence, in order to save trouble, he refused at first.
“Besides, if I look for your niece, if she breaks her arm or leg, can she carry me on her back, or can she ask her men to take care of me?”
If you only care about the house, that person will definitely be happy with it, but it’s not clear how well it will be taken care of.
As people get older, there are many ways to torment them.
The seventh cousin shook his head: "I can't take this risk."
He also told the truth.
I have to say that my aunt also had this murmur in her heart before, but the problem is that when she comes home, she can see what her niece is capable of.
Let’s just dig bamboo shoots. A basket weighs a hundred pounds, right? Her good niece looks beautiful and fair, carrying one in each hand, walking as fast as flying!
Isn’t this better than men?
Let alone the seventh cousin who fell, even if he was paralyzed, she could still send him to the hospital just by pinching him in his armpit!
But it’s hard to say this, it’s really unpleasant to hear.
The aunt then swore to God: "Don't worry, if she doesn't have the strength, I won't come here specially!"
“As for what will happen after getting married...Cousin, I’ll tell you the truth, it’s not just for this house, it’s mainly for you. Let me tell you about her family first—”
She is such a talkative person that few people in the world have her enemies. That is to say, the seventh cousin is calm in his heart. Only then did he listen to what she said steadily, and then pondered for a while:
“You mean, if his family takes care of me in my old age, and I go to work as a chef in his family, I will have to bring her stupid brother back with me?”
“Cousin, look at what you said, my nephew is smart, well-behaved and obedient. When you see him, I’m sure he will feel bad for you!”
Auntie said it confidently and confidently.
Ouch, the seventh cousin who made this big cake has indigestion.
He shook his head: "No, no, this girl's burden is too heavy, I don't like her."
The aunt pushed the bag of locust flowers in front of him:
"If you don't like it, why don't you first take a look at the quality of the vegetables my niece grows? The milkvetch in their field this year has sold for 21 pounds. Have you ever seen vegetables of this quality in the vegetable market? "
"Cousin, let me tell you the truth. You have this house. If you talk about it later, there will be many people to show your filial piety."
"But it's useless to look at individuals alone. When buying pigs, you have to look at the pen. You know my brother's character, and you also know what my father and others are like in my hometown. Our old Song family is not alone. We certainly don't have many relatives. Being bullied, the body becomes tough.”
"I dare to put my words here today, and I will definitely help you spend your old age peacefully."
“Besides, aren’t we asking you to go home and be a chef? That’s a salary, and we’re not asking you to work for free.”
“Aren’t you shouting that you are bored here, and are you worried about the inconvenience of having a headache and fever when you go back to your hometown?”
“Isn’t this just right? I have a job, and my niece also has a car. If it’s possible, I’ll bring the child to you tomorrow and think about the job as a chef first!”
“To be honest, my niece can make so much money, so it’s totally different whether she likes this house of yours or not.”
Of course, despite what my aunt said so arrogantly, what she actually thought was: Such a big house costs one million, so why should I not be interested in it?
But doesn’t the seventh cousin disagree?
You have to put some money on your face.
Just...thank you Qianqiu for the reward. Thanks for everyone’s support!
