Chapter 201 The Son-in-Law Contest
When "uncle" was alive, he quarreled with "aunt" every day.
Especially after getting drunk, he behaved in all kinds of unsightly ways, not to mention his wife and son and daughter-in-law, even his gradually sensible grandson couldn't understand him anymore.
The eldest grandson is already in the second grade of elementary school.The school is also two kilometers away from home.
But the kid would rather walk to school by himself than take his grandpa's car.
From this we can see how failed such a man is.
Even so, he remained insensitive day after day, year after year, unaware of his failure in life.
I don't feel ashamed to eat and wait to die every day.
If you have no money, ask your wife, your son, your daughter and son-in-law.Only I dare not ask my son and daughter-in-law for it.The son's temper is not small, and the tempers of the two daughters-in-law are even worse.
It's the kind of "reasonable voice" big temper, not unreasonable.
So the two daughters-in-law thought that they were justified in scolding such an "old waste" face to face.
A big man, as the mainstay of the family, should make a lot of money outside to support his family.Fortunately, he didn't want to work when he was close to 40 years old, and started to eat and wait to die.
A rural person who has no income and is approaching old age can live a more carefree life than an old man with a pension in the city.
I watched my wife work hard outside, doing heavy and dirty work, doing as long as there was a job, struggling to maintain the expenses of a family.He can bear it.
The small life is leisurely and leisurely, eating and sleeping, and eating after sleeping; when I am bored, I go to visit old friends in the village.Sometimes I "beg" some money from my daughter and son-in-law, and then I go to buy wine, buy money, and never get tired of it.
He can really have the cheek to ask his son-in-law for money.
Of course, it's not just saying "I have no money, give me as much as you want".Such words, even if the skin is as thick as "uncle", it is embarrassing to say it.
After the uncle met his son-in-law, he dragged his son-in-law along, telling him about "this pain and that pain", and even took out an "electrocardiogram" that cost tens of dollars to the health center in the town, and complained to his son-in-law how much he had spent on it. How much is the treatment...
The implication is very obvious: I am asking you for money.
In this case, although the son-in-law was "forcibly begged" by a "professional beggar" dragging his clothes in public, but in order to get away, he could only "eliminate the disaster" by giving money.
Just such a feeling, even if the son-in-law gives you money, can he feel happy?
Later, the son-in-law decided not to go to his wife's "natal home" if he had nothing to do.I don't want to be "blackmailed" in disguise.
"Uncle" is just such an old bastard, and he has a particularly snarky mouth - the family prepares the food for free, and this kind of food doesn't taste good, and that kind of food doesn't suit his appetite.
Meat dishes that are not to your liking are still searched with chopsticks, never paying attention to hygiene.
The people at the same table saw it and really lost their appetite.I don't even want to touch the dishes he turned over from the beginning to the end again.
People who live under one roof are like a small group.Everyone's status in this small group depends on your contribution.If he doesn't contribute, he eats food with a mouth that is particularly tricky, and his mouth is not blocked when he speaks. He speaks nonsense, complains, or even offends others... Such a guy can only attract the disgust of others.
From the "disgust" at the beginning to the "deep hatred" later, it seems that everything you say is wrong and everything you do is wrong, no matter how you look at it, you don't like it.Feeling like you're in this world (especially in this family) is a huge mistake.
Prejudice, that's how it came about.
Once a prejudice is formed, it is difficult to change it later.
It has "taken root" in people's minds.
In particular, that "old, waste, thing" didn't count on making money, and kept yelling about this pain and that pain, this disease and that disease, it was really miserable.
Knowing that the family's expenses are stretched, a woman in the family does hard work outside the house all day long, and endures any illnesses, and is reluctant to spend money to go to the hospital for check-ups.
You are a guy who is idle all day long, but you are screaming for life and death every day, who is you pretending to be pitiful for?
If you are really afraid of getting sick and don’t want to suffer, why don’t you listen to your family’s advice not to drink a few bowls of white wine with each meal?Your family advises you not to sleep during the day, but at night like a "night owl" holding a mobile phone and watching it in the middle of the night, why don't you listen?I advise you to do more exercise, don't stay at home all day, like a "confinement woman" confinement, why don't you listen?
When you were young, you didn't pay attention to the "three highs", inflammation, "pharyngitis" and "urinary tract infection". Now that you are older, you haven't started to pay attention to maintenance. Still lying in bed at home is also tossing the family members.Costly and laborious.
The whole family had a premonition: the old guy would be seriously ill after all, and then his family savings would be exhausted before he died.
It felt like he was sent by heaven to torture this family!
Finally, with the support of Wu Zhenting, Wu Xia's aunt's family opened a "non-staple food shop", and the business was pretty good.It is a sign that life is getting better.Are you going to be dragged down by that "old waste" again and become poor overnight? !
The results of it?
As a result, everyone also saw: my uncle accidentally fell down after finishing a new floor at home, fell to the back of his head, and died directly!
He left so straightforwardly, which was beyond the family's expectation.
But everyone still firmly believed that if he hadn't died unexpectedly like this, if he continued to live an irregular life like him, one day he would die of illness early.
Now God is still pitiful to the other members of the family, so he simply accepted him, although everyone said it hard, but most of the family members secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It was as if a heavy burden had been lifted overnight.
The reason why I say "most members" is because Wu Xia's aunt is not included.
Although her aunt had quarreled with her husband all her life, and the relationship couldn't be said how deep it was, it was like raising a dog. After raising it for a long time, it suddenly disappeared, and her mood was not much better!
I always feel depressed and unspeakably uncomfortable.
However, with so many children in the family, there are also several grandchildren.In such a big family, even if one member is missing, the sadness in "Auntie"'s heart will not last long.
Soon, the busy "non-staple food store" business and the trivial life of taking care of the youngest son diluted the memory of her deceased husband.
Wu Xia's "uncle" has gradually become a "symbol" in everyone's memory.
In the memory of his family, his image is becoming indifferent day by day, not to mention the so-called "relatives" like Wu Xia who have very limited encounters with "uncle".
But Chinese people are like that, you can quarrel with him as much as you want when the other party is alive, but once the other party is gone, instead, every year on the memorial day, every year on Qingming and Double Ninth Festival, you will pay special respects to the deceased.
For example, today is the memorial day of "Uncle". My aunt slaughtered a big cooked chicken and a big wooden duck, and bought ten catties of pork one day in advance, and fried a beautiful piece of "pork meat".
The "three sacrifices" are prepared.
There are also various fruits.
In addition, there are several bowls of rice noodles, fungus, and yuba.
For the two eldest sons, one bought a large piece of "grilled lamb chops" made by others, and the other ordered a crispy barbecued pork.
They were first used to worship the deceased father.
When my aunt saw that there was such an abundance of food at home, she immediately thought of calling Wu Xia and asking her to come over for a meal.
"Auntie" always wants to be prudent with money, even treating her niece to a meal so as not to waste a lot of good food bought at home.
But I don't know, how could Wu Xia eat her meal for nothing?Before visiting, you have to go to the mall to buy a lot of gifts.
Including nutritional supplements for aunts, expensive clothes for cousins, gifts for children, and all kinds of food that everyone can eat.
The food list is all "famous food" from all over the world, and the price is not low.
Not to mention anything else, just the 10 catties of "niuba" she bought cost more than 100 yuan per catty. 10 catties of "Nuba" cost more than 1000 yuan.
After one round, it also cost Wu Xia almost tens of thousands of dollars.
For Wu Xia, this is already a "huge sum of money".
After all, she has a monthly salary of 10, which is not what she actually gets after tax.
Buy tens of thousands of dollars in gifts at once, and go to visit a relative.That's also because I haven't visited for more than two years.It costs a lot more.
Liang Teng wanted to "pay the bill" for her, but she refused.
On this day, it just happened to be Sunday, and the two married daughters of the "aunt" family came to the party with their son-in-law.
People came so neatly, apart from the "Sunday" factor, of course "Auntie" called her daughters one by one and asked them to come.
The eldest son-in-law graduated from a "health school", a technical secondary school level.She happened to go to the same "health school" as the daughter of Wu Xia's cousin "Cheng Yesen".It's just that he is much older than her, and he must be an "alumni" from the previous dozen years.
The condition of the eldest son-in-law's family is not bad.
He is an only child, and his family bought a building in the town.The ground floor of the first floor can be used as a "pavement", and it is a first-line pavement, not the kind of "pavement" shrunk down in the small streets and alleys that no one cares about!
It was quite cheap to buy those old buildings.But my hometown is a poor town, even if I rent out the shop on the first floor, I can only receive 1200 yuan a month for rent.
With this little shop rent, idlers with no income are "like a treasure", and those with income, even if they are part-time workers, don't think what can be done with that little money?
The eldest son-in-law's parents simply stopped renting out the shop and opened a "non-staple food shop" when they returned home.
As for the eldest son-in-law, he was a little dissatisfied with opening a store at home, so he simply went to a big city to open a "pharmacy".
In the eyes of outsiders, this family does not know how easy it is.
Don't look at anything else, just look at this eldest son-in-law. He used to drive a "BYD S6". After driving this car for nearly ten years, he sold it to a "second-hand car dealer" for only 1.5 yuan.
Later, the pharmacy was closed and transferred to his sister and brother-in-law.
The "eldest son-in-law" has opened another company of network technology service type. Anyway, "aunt" can't figure out what "services" the eldest son-in-law's company provides?I only know that he doesn’t even open a pharmacy. After opening this technology service company, the car has been replaced by 1 yuan from the 2 to 20 yuan “BYD” (she took the second-hand car sale price as the purchase price of a new car). Dowan's "Peugeot 4008".
From this point alone, one can know that the eldest son-in-law's business is booming.
But how did "Auntie" know that her eldest son-in-law was transferred out because the "pharmacy" couldn't make any money.
Back then, the eldest son-in-law took all of his parents' savings to open a "pharmacy" in a big city.After the "pharmacy" was transferred, half of the previously invested capital was not recovered.
Then, with the capital that has been "shrunk by half", I opened an Internet service company with less investment.
This company is seen by farmers who do not understand the Internet, and it feels like a "leather bag company".The kind of shell company used to "empty glove white wolf".
As for the replacement of "BYD S6" with "Peugeot 4008", that is also the need of starting a company.If you start a service company without even a decent "driving seat", how can you get business?Get business?
The eldest son-in-law opened a "drugstore" before, because he didn't need to directly face "big customers" to discuss cooperation, and no one would care if you drove a broken BYD.But now that you set up an online service company, you have to personally pull back most of the orders. If you don’t have a car you can sell, you may be underestimated by your business partners.Talk about an order and lose an order.
Gritting his teeth and buying a "Peugeot 4008", the eldest son-in-law felt that he could save enough to manage the house.
Young people who don’t know how to manage a house, if they plan to buy a good car with a price of around 20 yuan, they must consider BMW 1 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, or even an Audi A4, but what discounts can those cars offer?The interior space is narrow.He bought this "Peugeot 4008", an SUV model, of course the space is spacious, and after the discount, he can buy it in 36 "installments" with 0 interest.
Those who know how to manage a house will not choose a famous car, but a car that is economical and has a face.
What?You said that "Peugeot" is not as famous as BMW and Mercedes-Benz?
The eldest son-in-law doesn't talk like that.Let me tell you directly, my car costs more than 30 yuan.
You don't think it's awesome, you can buy a car worth more than 30 yuan to try it!
In this way, you can earn face in front of your business partners.
There is no need to talk about other nonsense.
Now the eldest son-in-law uses this "Peugeot 4008" to drive his wife and children, and brings a bunch of fruits and a few catties of "lamb leg dry pot" to his wife's "natal home" for dinner.
The second son-in-law is a "contractor".Of course, it is impossible to do the kind of "contractor" who has dozens of people under his command and undertakes large projects everywhere.He has only a few workers under his command, and the jobs he picks up are only "self-built houses" in the countryside.
In recent years, the number of "self-built houses" in rural areas has sprung up like mushrooms.The second son-in-law only needs to take over two or three "self-built houses" in a month, and the business is booming.
Generally, it takes about 7 or 8 days to build a floor, from laying bricks to laying the "floor".Then it took at least 10 days for the floor to reach the hardness that can hang bricks on it.
Therefore, the "contractor" will build 2 to 3 "self-built houses" at the same time.
That's the way to go. Construction takes turns.
These two sons-in-law have recently been able to receive two self-built house projects every month.After deducting the labor wages for the few plasterers below, his personal monthly net income can earn seven or eight thousand.
After a year, it will not be a problem to earn one hundred and eighty thousand.
But the family needs to spend money, his wife and children have no income, and the whole family depends on his income.The monthly expenses of three or four thousand are unavoidable.There are also various human expenses.
Therefore, after working hard all year round, the money I really saved is 4 to [-] yuan.
In this case, the second son-in-law of course knows better about housekeeping, and only bought a "second-hand car" for transportation.
But in order to save face, he chose "Audi" for this second-hand car.But it is a second-hand Audi that has been used for 15 years, and the style is very old.Young people will never pick it.Even if it is the "Audi" brand, I still can't see that it is upscale!
The second son-in-law also drove his wife and children, bought a bunch of fruits and a few catties of "cow's feet dry pot", and ran to his wife's natal home.
The eldest son-in-law's brand-new "Peugeot", the second son-in-law's second-hand "Audi", and the "Lexus" carrying Wu Xia and Liang Teng, the three cars were less than a minute apart, and they drove into Wu Xia's aunt respectively. Large yard for the home.
The yard is more than 100 square meters.After parking three small cars side by side, it suddenly felt full.
Arriving at almost "the same time", the eldest son-in-law and the second son-in-law brought the fruits and "dry pot" brought by themselves into the living room and put them on the dining table.
At this time, the two sons-in-law still felt good about themselves.
Look, it's so embarrassing to send so many gifts at once.
Although the two "dry pots" are both "feet", fortunately they are staggered. One is "sheep's foot dry pot" and the other is "cow's foot dry pot".This difference also made the two sons-in-law very satisfied.
The two of them had tried it once, and they accidentally bought the same meat dish during a dinner at the "wife's home".
As a result, their ignorant but mean-spirited father-in-law praised the meat dishes of the second son-in-law to the sky, as if they were delicious only in heaven; while the same meat dishes of the eldest son-in-law, He was demoted to the ground, almost reaching Jiuyou Difu.
This cheap-mouthed old guy has a very bad mind.He treated his two sons-in-law with a kind of thinking of "hating the poor and loving the rich".
It stands to reason that the family circumstances of the two sons-in-law are not too bad, so how to "hate the poor and love the rich"?
The standard of old, cheap, people is also simple: the son-in-law who spends money is a "rich son-in-law", and the son-in-law who does not give him money is a "poor son-in-law".It is not good for the old man to directly reprimand the eldest son-in-law who gave him too much money before, but later wanted to save some money to renovate the house.
The vegetables bought by the eldest son-in-law are so worthless.
Even the "second son-in-law" whom he touted to go to heaven would feel uncomfortable after hearing this kind of behavior.
We are both sons-in-law, so everyone sees what kind of bad intentions you have?
Which is stupid?
So Wu Xia's "uncle", although he has always claimed to be "very universal", in fact he has a very bad reputation among his friends.The difference lies in his "cheesy mouth".
No matter how many years we have been friends, "uncle" will never see the good in others, and always pick on their shortcomings to criticize.
I also like to brag. Forced, and the level of education is too low, it is difficult to justify the bragging. People who listen to it feel that "the IQ has been humiliated". It seems that you treat others as fools and think that others will believe you If so?
In this way, the father-in-law became old, and few acquaintances were willing to associate with him.
Ever since the meat and vegetable "crash" incident, the two sons-in-law seemed to have a "psychological shadow". This time they bought a dry pot by coincidence, and they couldn't help being surprised.
Fortunately, I immediately saw that there was a difference: a sheep's foot dry pot, and a cow's foot dry pot.
Only then did he secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
But after relaxing, I thought again: No.That mean-mouthed old man has been lying underground for two years.Even if you buy the same meat dishes, you don't have to worry about someone making random comments.
Just when the two sons-in-law looked at each other with a "meaningful" smile and understood each other's thoughts, Wu Xia, Liang Teng, and Yan Qianyu also went to open the trunk of the car, and took all the gifts and food in large and small bags. come out.
All three scored several times before moving all the gifts into the house.
The two sons-in-law both recognize Wu Xia, the niece of the "mother-in-law" family.
Looking at the items she brought, there were so many that even the coffee table and sofa in the living room were filled.
There was really no room left, so Wu Xia had to call a few of her cousins and nieces over to "claim" the clothes and toys bought for them.
Wu Xia appeared on the stage this time with a strong "aura", which was highlighted by the incredible gifts.
Not to mention the inedible gifts, the edible food that Wu Xia brought, including the packed ten catties of "Niuba", cost 1500 yuan.
There are also two "Quanjude" roast ducks, which are more than 1000.
There are also 200 yuan of meat crabs, meat crabs tied with ropes, filled with a shopping basket...
The two sons-in-law looked "ashen-faced", and they didn't dare to calculate for her in detail-how much money would it cost just for the food bought at the door this time?
This does not include gifts for adults and children.
Then they saw Miss Wu's "follower" Yan Qianyu go to close the trunk of the "Lexus" driven by her, and the two sons-in-law could clearly see the logo of the luxury car.
In fact, even if you don't look at the "vehicle logo", the two car-loving sons-in-law can't fail to recognize the unique shape of the "Lexus" as long as they glance at the "front".
To be honest, the two of them were familiar with the front of the "Lexus" before they gradually accepted it.
It felt a little weird at first.After getting familiar with it, I feel very attractive.There is a different kind of beauty.
Such a luxury car, is it worth millions?
Seeing the car, it is not surprising that Miss Wu bought such an astonishing lot of presents.
The two sons-in-law knew Wu Xia's family background and identity, and they were overshadowed by the appearance of the young lady.They were also convinced.
The two sons-in-law were very experienced and had the same "association" with Miss Wu bringing a "strange young man" to her door.
That should be Miss Wu's official boyfriend, right? !
Guessing such a possibility, the second son-in-law looked at Liang Teng with envy.
The same person who wants to be someone else's "son-in-law", why did the two of them share such a "waste-level" father-in-law, and that young man has the opportunity to worship the "richest man" Wu Zhenting as Master Taishan?
This is really unfair!
Is it because he is younger?More handsome?
The eldest son-in-law is much more knowledgeable than the uneducated second son-in-law.
He knew that the person who could enter the "eyes" of Wu Xia and Wu Zhenting's father and daughter, and become the "son-in-law of the Wu family" in the future, was destined to be no ordinary person.
Do you think people can reap a lot of benefits after climbing Wu Zhenting's "thick legs"!Who knows, maybe the family itself is very rich.
People don't have to rely on their father-in-law to live a luxurious life!
Wealthy families, in many cases, also pay attention to "the right family", okay? !
