After the divorce, I started to transfer

After Peng Xiaotong hung up the phone, tears still flowed down her face.

Her mother had lived a very hard life, and when she thought about how good her mother had been to her in the past, it was impossible for her not to feel sad.

"Okay, don't be sad, wipe it off." The cousin handed her a tissue and said with a complicated look, "You are smart enough to come up with this idea and get a good job easily."

As Peng Xiaotong's cousin, she also worked diligently in an electronics factory when she was young, but later she was cheated by a scumbag and suffered several miscarriages, which caused her physical and mental trauma. In addition, working honestly was not only hard and tiring, but also made little money, so she decided to go into the industry. After that, she gave up and worked for many years.

The only thing that made her feel relieved was that after working for so many years, she had saved up more than 300,000 yuan in hard-earned money.

She could have saved more money, but like her cousin, she also had a large family. She was the second oldest of six siblings, with an older sister, three younger sisters, and a younger brother.

That’s right, in order to have a son, her parents gave birth to five daughters in a row, and only gave birth to a son with the sixth daughter.

She started working when she was a teenager. In addition to supporting herself, she also had to help support her younger siblings, especially her beloved younger brother.

In the first few years, most of the money she earned from working hard was used to subsidize her family.

It was not until her eldest sister got married and her three younger sisters grew up and started working to earn money that her burden was lightened.

But after she started making money easily, her younger brother began to grow up, and the family expenses also began to increase slowly. Things like school selection fees, tutoring fees, buying computers and mobile phones, branded clothes and shoes, all cost at least tens of thousands a year, and they all had to be paid by her, her eldest sister, and her third sister who was already working.

But after the eldest sister got married, she gave birth to three children in one go. Her brother-in-law had an average job, and the couple lived a tight life with little money. The third sister worked in the county near her hometown, as a waitress, earning less than two thousand yuan a month.

Therefore, most of my brother's expenses every year fall on her.

It was easy to make money at that time, and I felt sorry for my older sister and younger sister, as well as my sick mother, who were being drained of their blood.

Until the year before last, when her younger brother graduated from vocational college and failed to find a job, he found a girlfriend and spent money lavishly, often asking her, his rich second sister, for money.

That was not all. Later, her family asked her to pay for her younger brother to buy a house in their hometown county, considering his future marriage.

Houses in their hometown county are not very expensive. A commercial house of about 100 square meters costs only about 300,000 or 400,000 yuan.

But this made her furious. She had been sucked dry by her brother for so many years, at least tens of thousands of dollars every year, so she had just endured it.

Now she is asking for another three or four hundred thousand. If she really uses the money to subsidize her younger brother, all her years of work will be in vain.

So, for the first time, she refused her family's request for 300,000 yuan and started a cold war with her family.

But a few days later, her eldest sister told her that her mother had fallen ill due to her anger and was being treated in the hospital.

She was so scared that she rushed back to her hometown overnight. Her mother was indeed hospitalized, but it was obviously not mainly caused by her anger, and she was not rescued.

But it is a fact that her mother is ill, including diabetes, hypertension, bone hyperplasia, lumbar disc herniation and other diseases.

A week of hospitalization cost tens of thousands, and she could only pay for it silently. After all, everyone said that they were angry about her second daughter, and she was the most promising and wealthy child in the family.

After being discharged from the hospital, she finally gave in to her mother's tears and paid 150,000 yuan. Together with the medical expenses for her mother, the total amount was over 200,000 yuan.

Then, at the request of her parents, her eldest sister's family was forced to pay 50,000 yuan, and her third sister's family, who had been married for two years, also paid 30,000 yuan. The fourth sister, who was originally planning to get engaged, was asked to pay a dowry of 150,000 yuan, which was lowered to 100,000 yuan after a while of bargaining. The fifth sister, who had only been working for two years and had to hand over most of her monthly salary to her family, was also asked to hand over 10,000 yuan.

In this way, her parents finally bought a house worth more than 300,000 yuan for her brother in the county town. They basically spent all the money they got from their four daughters, including the betrothal money, and also subsidized a lot. Later, they borrowed money from relatives to renovate the house.

Her brother didn't have to do anything as he got a ready-made commercial house in the county town. He moved in with his girlfriend with peace of mind, while her parents continued to live in the countryside.

Then, her brother contacted her frequently to ask for money. After a few times, she finally couldn't stand it anymore and said that she would no longer give him money and asked him to find a job and support himself as soon as possible.

At the same time, she also contacted several of her sisters, formed an alliance, and asked them not to give money to her brother anymore, which was unanimously agreed by her sisters.

So, in less than two months, his brother's girlfriend broke up with him because he hadn't found a job, his parents didn't have much money, and his sisters didn't give him any money.

Since then, her brother has become depressed, stopped looking for a job, and spent all his time playing online games. Her parents, she and her sisters have tried to persuade and enlighten him, but it was useless.

When her parents saw this, they blamed their daughters, especially her, the second-most daughter, for their son's condition.

The reason was that they formed an alliance and stopped supporting their younger brother. As a result, due to financial constraints, their younger brother broke up with his girlfriend, leaving their beloved younger brother devastated.

Her father even called her and scolded her for a long time, and her mother also called her several times to complain.

She was so angry that she blocked her parents' phone numbers and began to cut ties with her original family.

But it was obviously not that easy. During the holidays, she softened her heart and sent one or two thousand yuan to her mother every holiday.

But soon her parents gave her another very realistic and cruel blow. Her parents had received 100,000 yuan in betrothal money from her fourth sister, and now that her fourth sister was getting married, they couldn't even take out 10,000 yuan in return gift money. Moreover, according to their customs, at least half of the betrothal money had to be returned, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.

But where did her parents have any money now? The little money they had was spent by her beloved brother. So, her parents asked her to "borrow" 80,000 yuan as a gift to her fourth sister.

She was not stupid. This money was definitely borrowed but never returned. At most, her parents would ask her fourth sister to pay it back. Not to mention, if she borrowed this 80,000 yuan, according to her parents' temperament, at most 50,000 yuan would be returned, and the remaining 30,000 yuan would be intercepted by them.

So, she finally exploded. The last time she took out 150,000 yuan, she told her parents seriously that this was the last time she would give a large sum of money to the family.

Her parents had agreed to it at the time. How long had it been since then? Less than a year later, they asked her to pay 80,000 again.

She earned all this money with great effort, and as she got older, at the age of 36, her seafood business was getting worse and worse.

In short, it is becoming increasingly difficult for her to make money now. However, her parents are still asking for more and sucking her blood.

Growing up, her parents never cared about her. When she went out to work at the age of seventeen, they never cared whether she worked hard or not.

After knowing that she was in the seafood business, he never tried to persuade her to stop doing it, but just kept asking her for money.

Her heart completely cooled down as they pressed her for money again and again. That time, she finally mustered up the courage to have a big fight with her parents, pouring out all the grievances she had suffered over the years.

And then, of course, not a penny was given.

A month later, her eldest sister called again and said that her mother fell ill because of her.

But this time she was indifferent. During the Chinese New Year, she did not even call home. Only her third and fifth sisters kept in touch with her.

The only thing that comforted her was that Peng Xiaotong came to Xiuzhou to work the year before last and got in touch with her cousin. Neither of them went home for the New Year, so they stayed together in Xiuzhou and were not lonely. After spending almost two years together, their relationship became better than that of real sisters.

Her sisters, the eldest sister and the fourth sister, all complained that she did not consider her parents and younger brother, especially because the family could not give the return gift money, the fourth sister's marriage was delayed. As a result, the fourth sister resented her, thinking that she had money but did not give it up, which prevented her from getting married.

Only the third and fifth sisters, who had always been exploited by their parents, had some affection for her. They kept in touch with her and often complained about their parents and their disappointing younger brother.

But it is obvious that even the third and fifth sisters, who are biological sisters, are gradually losing their relationship because they have not seen each other for many years.

She and her cousin Peng Xiaotong developed feelings for each other after spending almost two years together in the foreign city of Xiuzhou.

In particular, she saw those qualities in her cousin that she did not possess at all, which made her appreciate and admire her cousin even more.

Her cousin is independent and strong. Even though she did not graduate from high school, she is still working hard to teach herself computer skills and English. She has never thought of relying on her good looks to hook up with a rich man, or directly start a seafood business like she did.

Although her cousin was born into poverty and humble circumstances just like her, she never gave up on herself. Instead, she was always positive and full of energy.

The most rare thing is that her cousin never despises her for doing her current business. Sometimes she would comfort her and enlighten her, and persuade her to find a way out for herself as soon as possible.

Her family, and even her third and fifth sisters who had a good relationship with her, actually disliked the business she was doing. Sometimes she would accidentally reveal this during conversations, which would greatly damage her self-esteem.

So, she really likes her cousin Peng Xiaotong, even closer to her than her own sister.

Otherwise, when she heard that there was extra money to be made, she would not have the courage to recommend her cousin to Lai Junliang.

And her cousin's performance just now made her realize completely how intelligent she was.

Because of this seemingly small opportunity, her cousin seized it firmly. After a day of planning and rehearsal, the plan was successfully implemented and the goal was achieved.

She felt admiration and envy, but also an indescribable bitterness.

There is no jealousy to speak of, but self-pity and self-sacrifice are inevitable.

Her cousin will soon be able to work for a big company and earn a high salary. And with her cousin's learning ability, she will definitely have a bright future. She might even become a star.

The same birth, but the results are so different, and the future is so different, it is natural for her to sigh in her heart.

Peng Xiaotong could also sense her cousin's complicated feelings. After wiping her tears with the tissue, she said, "Thanks to your help this time, cousin. After I gain a foothold in his company, I will find a way to get you in, too."

"Me?" My cousin's eyes widened. "What can I do? At least you went to high school and even reached the second year of high school. You have good grades and a smart brain. But I only finished elementary school. I can't even use a mobile phone. How can I get into a big company like theirs?"

Peng Xiaotong said, "His company has been expanding and recruiting people intermittently. Recently, a new general manager was appointed. You can go in and do logistics work like I did. Even working as a cleaner in his company is not bad. I checked and cleaners in his company can earn 5,000 to 6,000 yuan. Although it may not be as much as you earn now, it is stable and you don't have to worry."

My cousin smiled bitterly and said, "If it's really five or six thousand, it's actually about the same as what I'm making now. Those bastards are getting more and more aggressive with their money, and with fewer customers, I'm not making as much as before."

Peng Xiaotong frowned and said, "Then you might as well stop doing this. If you get caught one day and have a criminal record, it will be even harder to find a husband."

My cousin continued with a wry smile, "I already have a criminal record."

Peng Xiaotong said, "You can't do that anymore. You've been doing this for so many years, you should have saved some money. Now that you're not making money, what else are you doing? You don't need the money urgently. You'd better find a reliable and honest man to marry as soon as possible."

My cousin said aggrievedly, "You just said you would help me get into a film and television company."

"I'm just telling you a way out. You're already thirty-six years old, so the best way out is to find a good man to marry, start a small business with him, have children and start a family."

"How can a good man be so easy to find? Over the years, I have seen through it. None of those men are good."

"This time you come back to my hometown with me and look for it. What if you find it?"

"I've been working for so many years, and I've long lost interest in men from my hometown. Most of them are stupid and dumb. They like to act big and powerful when they have no money, and they get cocky when they have a little money. They have no knowledge at all and are all country bumpkins."

Peng Xiaotong was a little speechless and said, "How can the men in our hometown be as bad as you say?"

"My dear cousin, even if there is a good man in my hometown, it won't be my turn. I have given up long ago. I will not go back to my hometown if I can avoid it."

Peng Xiaotong also knew about the conflict between her cousin and her family. She sighed and said, "We can go to the matchmaking agency in the county and look for someone..."

"Okay, don't worry about me. Let me tell you the truth. Many people in my hometown know about my business here. So, unless I go back to my hometown and show off that I've made a lot of money, no good man will be willing to marry me."

Peng Xiaotong was stunned for a moment before she said, "Well, then we two sisters will try to settle down together in Xiuzhou."

My cousin was delighted when she heard this and immediately said, "Tongtong, you are much better than me. You are smart, young and beautiful. After you join Chen Feng's company, you may become a star in the future. When the time comes, you must help me and let me be your follower. Just give me 10,000 or 20,000 yuan a month. What do you think?"

Peng Xiaotong smiled and said, "If I really become a star, you will be my assistant, and I will give you at least 30,000 per month, and a big bonus at the end of the year."

"Okay, okay, then we have a deal. Let's pinky promise now."

Peng Xiaotong actually made a pinky promise with her.

After that, the two cousins ​​didn't say anything more. They quickly packed their luggage and went back to their hometown to attend the funeral. (End of this chapter)
