The Little Days of the Great Landlord

Chapter 50
(It's the last day of Sanjiang, let's read it according to the three chapters...)
"Don't worry, Yang Ming didn't do anything illegal..." Seeing Zhang Shufang's confused look, Xue Hua didn't seem to know the details of his son, but the more he thought about it, the more he thought about it, and he quickly comforted him.

"how do you know?"

"Of course I know. Yang Ming earns several million dollars a month. Even drug trafficking doesn't make such a big profit. If he dared to do illegal things, he would have been arrested by the Public Security Bureau. If he hadn't been arrested, he wouldn't dare to buy two houses in a high-end neighborhood so ostentatiously."

"What you said is really reasonable. However, I still want to ask him about his background. Not only can he not break the law, he can't do immoral things either." Zhang Shufang said.

"Yes, yes, yes..." Xue Hua quickly agreed. In fact, she also felt that Yang Ming's money was strange. What kind of business can earn several million a month?Talk to Yang Ming's mother today, this secret will probably be revealed, he dares not tell us the truth, but does he dare not tell his mother the truth?This is also the result of a day of discussion between her and Wei Jianguo. It depends on the reaction of the in-laws. The reaction of the in-laws is normal, which means that the mother knows about it. Son, let's also follow along to solve the puzzle.

At this time, Yang Ming, carrying a big burden, walked past the door and walked towards 701.

"Mingming, put down the burden for me, I have something to tell you." Zhang Shufang immediately scolded with a cold face.

"Oh! Mom, wait until I put it in the house..."

"Just put it outside for me, I can't live in your house, and I'm still talking..." Zhang Shufang said coldly.

"What's the matter? Who messed with you?" Yang Ming put down the burden in surprise, and walked into the living room of the old man's house.

"From childhood to adulthood, you have been a good boy. To be honest with Mom, how much did you spend on these two houses?"

"500 million, it should have been 510 million, but Fang Fang is the manager of the sales department, so she wiped out the change."

"Regardless of whether the odds are erased or not, tell me how the five million yuan came about."

"Did you get it from selling vegetables?" Yang Ming blinked his eyes twice and said.

"Nonsense," Zhang Shufang turned blue, stood up from the sofa suddenly, and pointed at her son angrily, "What kind of food can be so valuable? I seem to remember that you were still looking for a job all over the world..."

"The food I sell is of good quality, so it's a bit expensive. Mom, don't be angry. We have something to discuss. If you don't believe me, I'll show you the contract later. It's all with some big hotels. Signed..." Mom's expression was wrong, but Yang Ming was terrified.

There are two major hurdles in life, one is adolescence, the other is menopause, one is the starting point of maturity, and the other is the beginning of aging. It's a bad thing at once, adolescence determines a person's personality throughout his life, and menopause determines a person's physical health in later life.

The agitation of adolescence is at most rebellious, but menopause can't do it. If you can't get past this hurdle, you will be pissed off, and menopausal people are very irritable and irritable, like dynamite. It will explode after a little fire, and even if you survive, if you get sick with qi, there is a great possibility that the root cause of the disease will remain, and you will have to live in your old age.

"Really? You didn't lie to me?" Zhang Shufang's face softened.

"Hey, what did I lie to you for? Did you see that when I picked you up and Dad, I pulled back that cart of fruit? Is it big? The vegetables I sell are of the same quality as that fruit. "Yang Ming almost swore an oath.

As soon as Yang Ming mentioned the fruit, Zhang Shufang believed it, her complexion improved, and she waved her hand, "If you want to say this, I will believe it, go ahead, do your work, but remember to bring your contract ,show me."

"Do you understand? I remember you and my dad are not very literate?"

"Your dad and I can't read it, so why don't we ask others to read it for us? Qingqing's parents are teachers, so don't they know how to read?" Zhang Shufang said.

"Okay, you can watch it if you want, it's not a big deal." Yang Ming said, walked out, and continued to carry luggage.

"He said that the food is of good quality, but to what extent is it so good that he can earn several million a month? Did he grow it himself, or did he buy it wholesale?" Xue Hua frowned and said to himself.

"Mother-in-law, who cares how he got here? Anyway, the child has his own way, it just fell from the sky, I don't care, as long as my son doesn't break the law, by the way, mother-in-law, selling vegetables is a bit expensive, no breaking the law?"

"Should...shouldn't break the law, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, it's a matter of mutual consent..." Xue Hua said.

"That's good, that's good. Don't they always talk about disrupting the market economy on TV..." Zhang Shufang's understanding of the law is still limited to the economic and legal channel of CCTV.

"That's impossible. How can the power of one person disrupt the market economy, let alone state regulation." Xue Hua said.

"That's good, that's good. As long as my son doesn't break the law or do things of bad conscience, I don't care about him..." Zhang Shufang said.

While Zhang Shufang and Xue Hua were talking, Wei Jianguo and Yang Zhengfang walked in hand in hand.

Wei Jianguo was holding a big basin with two big fish in it. Yang Zhengfang was leading his big dog, followed by five puppies. They walked side by side, chatting and laughing.

"Get the dog out for me..." Zhang Shufang pointed at her old man, her eyes widened. She wanted to give this old man some face, but she didn't know what was going on. When she saw him, she felt angry , this is someone's in-law's house, do you know if people dislike dogs?

"Why? Old Wei said that he wants a puppy from our family..." In front of his in-laws, the prestige of the head of the family must not be lost, Yang Zhengfang bit the bullet and replied.

"Jianguo, do you still want to raise a puppy?" Xue Hua's expression drooped.

"Ah..." Wei Jianguo was a little embarrassed, "I want to raise a puppy, and I'll take it for a walk later, how hard should I hold it?"

"I don't want to hear my father-in-law's words. People who raise dogs are famous dogs. Don't you make a fool of yourself by bringing out a stupid dog? You think I'm from the country, but I can't tell you Are you helping this old man?" Zhang Shufang said.

"What did I say? My in-laws want a dog for us, can I not give it? What's wrong with my stupid dog? My rhubarb can catch rabbits. Deng Gong said that black dogs and white dogs can catch rabbits It's a good dog..." Yang Zhengfang said unconvinced.

"What Mr. Deng said is that a black cat is a white cat. The cat that can catch rabbits is a good cat. No, the cat that can catch mice is a good cat." Wei Jianguo leaned into Yang Zhengfang's ear and said.

"Whatever it is, that's what it means..." Yang Zhengfang said.

"Mother-in-law, you don't know Lao Wei. He really doesn't help. He really likes it. Sometimes when he goes for a walk, he can't turn his eyes away when he sees a puppy. Once he stared straight at a little daughter-in-law. A poodle, let the little daughter-in-law think he is playing hooligans, almost called the police..." Xue Hua really knows Wei Jianguo too well. He used to treat Wei Qingqing's face, and his salary could not save. He is quite tight, and he still bears with any hobbies and the like, but now that his daughter's face is better and her salary can be saved, some small thoughts are revealed.

"Why do I like dogs? Dogs are man's most loyal friends..." Wei Jianguo blushed a little.

"How big is that dog in your opinion? Is it suitable to keep in the building?" Xue Hua said.

"What's inappropriate? I'll tag them tomorrow..." Wei Jianguo muttered.

"It's not a question of whether it's suitable or not. What if you bite someone?" Zhang Shufang interjected, pointing at Yang Zhengfang, "If you really bit someone, you old man is the culprit..."

"Those with masks, dogs wear masks when they go out..." Wei Jianguo whispered.

"That's right, close its mouth, how can it bite people?" Yang Zhengfang responded quickly.

"Anyway, as I said, dogs are not allowed in the building." Zhang Shufang insisted. In fact, she felt that her majesty had been challenged, and she began to be unreasonable.

"It doesn't matter what you say. The house belongs to my son. I'll ask my son..." Yang Zhengfang stiffened his neck, intending to be tough to the end.

"What's the matter? Why are you arguing again? Or are the four of you arguing together?" Wei Qingqing poked her head at the door with a small bundle in her arms.

"Qingqing, the house belongs to you and your wife. Do you think it's appropriate to keep a dog in the building?" Zhang Shufang asked.

"This..." Wei Qingqing looked at the faces of the four people, "I don't know, you can ask Yang Ming..." After saying that, she turned and left.

"This damn girl is playing sloppy!" Xue Hua slapped his thigh angrily.

"The child is still young, this kind of scene scares me..." Zhang Shufang defended her daughter-in-law: "When my son comes, let's see what he says."

"What's the matter, what do you want me to say?" Yang Ming happened to pass by the door with his bag in his arms at this moment.

"Son, tell me, dogs are not allowed in the city!" Zhang Shufang said.

"This... I don't care if I say it, your son doesn't have such great skills..." Yang Ming smiled coyly, "If you want to stop keeping dogs in the city, you have to report to the National People's Congress, and the case can only be filed after the National People's Congress approves..."

Regarding the problem of keeping dogs in cities, the relevant regulations do not allow large dogs to be kept in urban areas. However, speaking of it, there are really a lot of large dogs in urban areas. It is a bungalow with a small courtyard. It is normal for such a family to raise a large dog to guard the house. The beautiful community where Yang Ming lives belongs to the development zone on the edge of the city. Looking from the upstairs to the distance, most of them are Bungalows, so in this area, the management of large dogs is not very strict, even in the beautiful community, there are many people who raise large dogs.

"Hahaha..." Yang Zhengfang laughed immediately, and patted his son's shoulder with a big slap. "Son, when you grow up, you know how to protect your rights with legal weapons."

"Yang Ming, these puppies are very beautiful. The three of us will give them a bath in a while. I'll pick the ones by the way. I heard from your dad that Zhang Yang has ordered one. Let him pick the rest. By the way, have you vaccinated the dog yet?" Wei Jianguo was very satisfied with his son-in-law's answer, but the last sentence was addressed to Yang Zhengfang.

"After the fight, our rhubarb gave birth to nine cubs, all of which have been vaccinated," Yang Zhengfang said.

"Obviously, you're not my mother's son..." Zhang Shufang stared at Yang Ming with a long face.

"My dear son, where is the bathroom?" Yang Zhengfang put his arms around his son's shoulder affectionately, and looked at his wife provocatively as he spoke.

"Yang Ming, you are not my son-in-law..." Xue Hua looked at Yang Ming with a very unkind look.

"Good son-in-law! Wait for me for a while. This fish is too heavy. My arms are sore from holding it. Let's go together when I put the fish in the kitchen." Wei Jianguo entered the kitchen happily carrying a basin of fish. Then he ran out in a hurry.

Men are contagious. Wei Jianguo and Yang Zhengfang compared each other. Today, both of them are a little high-spirited and their waists are straight.

Both Zhang Shufang and Xue Hua are in 703. The three of them don’t have the courage to “chasing the poor with the remaining courage”. The staged victory doesn’t mean that the game has been reversed since then. The three of them went together with the dog. 701.

Silence... In the living room of 703, there was silence...

"Actually, I usually give our family Lao Yang a lot of face, but today is not a big deal, I just can't suppress the fire." Zhang Shufang said a little embarrassed.

"Yeah! Me too. I usually listen to our old Wei the most, but today when I saw you getting angry, I got angry without knowing it."

The two of them looked at each other, and they could see four words in each other's eyes: It's strange to believe you.

The two of them lowered their heads and couldn't help but smile coquettishly, and there was a bit of embarrassment in the laughter.

"Okay, let's not make fun of each other, let's cook together, you moved here today, you need to cook the stove..." Xue Hua said.

"Okay, okay, we have forgotten what happened today, forgot, no one is allowed to mention it in the future, I am really puzzled, I don't know what happened these years, I get angry at every turn, sometimes this angry hair I don't know why..." Zhang Shufang also said.

"It's menopause, that means we're getting old..."

"It's too late if you don't accept it, the child's wings are hardened, and he won't listen to his mother anymore..."

So the two held hands, went out together, turned to the side, and walked into 701. The two got into the kitchen and started making dinner.

"No! What nonsense are you talking about? It's really thanks to your idea to set off firecrackers in the building. Wouldn't it blow up all the furniture? People only set them off before they move..." After the move, Yang Zhengfang didn't know Where did I get a bunch of firecrackers and insisted on setting them up in the living room, Zhang Shufang was in a hurry.

"Didn't I forget it? At least I have to make it up. Besides, isn't it in a bucket..." Yang Zhengfang muttered, pointing to the thick-skinned iron bucket he found somewhere in front of him, very firm.

"What should I do if it collapses... OK, let's put it away. These furniture and other things cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Don't feel bad if it blows up, just let it go..." Zhang Shufang said without saying a word, and went straight into the kitchen.

"Son, is this furniture worth hundreds of thousands?" Yang Zhengfang asked furtively.

"No..." Yang Ming said, Yang Zhengfang had just breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to light a cigarette butt, when Yang Ming said again: "The ones in this living room are about a hundred thousand, plus other things. The room is only a few hundred thousand..."

"You brat, why are you panting so much?" Yang Zhengfang had just lit the whip, and after hearing his son's words, he immediately snuffed it out, staring at his son trembling with anger.

"Let's put it, it's okay. The living room is very big, and it's in an iron bucket. The furniture can't be blown up, but the noise is too loud." Yang Ming said.

"Prodigal stuff..." Yang Zhengfang glared at his son, put away the firecrackers, and left angrily.

In the mountain village, it gets dark faster, and after working in the fields all day, Mrs. Liu dragged her exhausted body, and after cooking for her daughter, she carried a small basket with some food prepared last night. I went to Grandma Baoer's house for mooncakes.

"Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and then I will go back to my mother's house and send some to my parents." Sister-in-law Liu walked on the small mountain road under the moonlight, thinking in her heart, "Grandpa Bao'er is a boring gourd, but Grandma Bao'er is a knife-mouthed one. I don't know what to say this time..." Thinking of her mother-in-law's attitude towards her, Aunt Liu became worried and blamed herself, why didn't she have a son?Otherwise, the father-in-law's branch would not be extinct.

Grandma Baoer’s house is not far from Mrs. Liu’s house, and it’s also on the side of the gravel road. The distance between the two families is only about a hundred meters. However, since the death of Baoer’s father, the old couple have never been to her house again. .

knock knock...

Mrs. Liu knocked on the door of Grandma Baoer's house, and immediately there was a barking sound from inside. When the dog barked, all the dogs in the neighborhood also barked.

"What are you doing here?" It was Bao'er's grandmother who opened the door. The old lady is 60 years old this year, but her hair has long been graying. When she looks like a daughter-in-law, her nose is not her nose and her face is not her face.

"Mom! It's the Mid-Autumn Festival. I'll bring you and Dad some mooncakes." Aunt Liu forced a smile.

The old lady glanced at her daughter-in-law, "Come in..." After leaving a word, she turned around and went back to the house.

"Ai ai ai ai..." Aunt Liu immediately regained her spirits. In the past, the two elders would not let her in.

Entering the house, the old man is sitting on the kang, smoking dry cigarettes with his legs crossed, making the room full of smoke, a [-]-inch black and white TV is on, with snowflakes on the screen, he can’t even hear it What is said in it, but it is definitely a small advertisement.

"Sit down, I have something to tell you." The old lady got on the kang, crossed her legs, and said, pointing to a small bench.

Aunt Liu put the mooncakes on the cabinet and sat down as she said, "What do you want to say to me, Mom?"

"You also know that you and your father-in-law have only one son and one daughter, and your stomach is not up to date, and you only gave birth to a girl, and this branch of our family will be extinct from now on..."

"Mom and Dad, I'm sorry..." Mrs. Liu lowered her head in shame, tears welling in her eye sockets.

"The ambition is gone, and the bones have not been found. We miss our son, so we vent our anger on you. I also know that you are wronged..." the old lady said.

"I'm not wronged. I've lost my ambition. I should take care of your elders." Aunt Liu's tears were streaming down her cheeks.

"Our one, we can't let him die. I have discussed with your father-in-law for a long time, and I plan to let you have another one..." The old lady said these words, and Liu Aunt was stunned on the spot.

"What did you say?" Aunt Liu raised her head abruptly and asked in surprise.

"I said, let you have another one." The old lady was expressionless.

"I disagree..." Mrs. Liu stood up excitedly.

"Even Zheng Yu's family has children, do you have the heart to let our family have no descendants? You think I don't know? These days, it has spread in the village that you and the young man from the city are not clean, you contracted the mountain, It was he who gave you the money, and he helped you do the work in your field. I can tell you that as long as you give us a grandson, we can turn a blind eye to whatever you and the boy in the city do. Eyes." The old lady had a cold face, and the words she said were like ice, cold to the heart.

Mrs. Liu sat down slowly again, only to hear the old lady say again: "We have selected people for you, Da Zhuang, Da Han, and Day Yong are all close friends, you can choose any of them, but I think Dahan is good, Dahan is strong..."

"What do they think I am? A tool for childbearing? Can I choose a seed?" Aunt Liu's mind was completely confused. At this moment, she only felt indifference, cruelty, and... humiliation.

"Da Zhuang, Da Han and Dayong are all your cousins. If you have something to say, it's not good to say it. Don't all pig farmers have artificial insemination? We think people are similar..." The old man who had been smoking suddenly said One sentence.

Aunt Liu didn't know how she got out of Grandma Bao'er's house, she just felt that all the humiliation in this life was concentrated on tonight, raising pigs?Artificial insemination?People are similar?

"Hehe..." Mrs. Liu gave a miserable laugh, "Let me think about it for a few days? If it wasn't for me and Bao'er, I would have died in your house today..."

When I got home, Bao'er was not there, so I went out to have a look. The lights in Yang Ming's house were on, and there was a flash of light and shadow on the window of the east room. It was obvious that Xiao Bao'er was watching TV in the room. Only then did Auntie Liu remember that Wei Qingqing was about to leave. At that time, I gave Xiao Baoer the house key so that she could open the door and go in by herself when she wanted to watch TV. The two also left a lot of fruit for the little guy.

Mrs. Liu didn't ask her daughter to go home, she went back to the house by herself, covered in the quilt and started to cry...

(It is not uncommon for similar absurd things to happen. If you don't believe me, you can watch the "Moral Observation" and "Today's Statement" on Central Channel 12.)
"Hey, mom, let me tell you, last night, I recognized a daughter..." In the spacious dining room, the fluorescent lights on the top were shining white, and the dishes on the table were rich, such as chicken, duck, fish, seasonal fruits and seafood. Yang Zhengfang, Zhang Shufang, Wei Jianguo, Xue Hua, Yang Ming, and Wei Qingqing were eating dinner together, Yang Ming said with a smile.

"It's a daughter..." Wei Qingqing added a little sourly.

"What's going on? Tell Mom..." Zhang Shufang put down her chopsticks and asked curiously.

"Let me tell you..." Wei Qingqing also put down her chopsticks, "Yang Ming and I bought a yard in a small mountain village and lived there these days. Next door to our house is a mother and daughter. Widow, her daughter is very cute, she is very attached to us, and we like her very much, so I told her mother to let her daughter recognize Yang Ming as a godfather..."

"Just a girl..." Zhang Shufang said.

There is also a lot of talk about recognizing a godfather. There is a saying of "prevention". For example, Zhang Shufang can recognize a goddaughter, but she can't recognize a godson, because she is only a son. If she recognizes a godson, she will guard against herself. Her own son is not good to her own son. If her son is underage, he may even die. If she has many sons, it doesn't matter if she recognizes a godson.

"What's the little girl's name?" Xue Hua put down his chopsticks and asked.

"Zheng Bao'er, I'm going to be ten years old this year, and I'm in the third grade of elementary school." Yang Ming said.

"Are you still buying yards in small mountain villages? If you want to live in the countryside, go home..." Zhang Shufang said.In front of her in-laws, Zhang Shufang will never let them see how much she yearns for city life.

"Yang Ming said, if we go back, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold your head up in front of the villagers. My son has passed the university entrance exam and will have to go home to farm..." Wei Qingqing said.

"The child is thoughtful." Yang Zhengfang poured Wei Jianguo a glass of white wine and filled it up for himself, "If we go back like this, we know they want to live in the countryside, but the villagers have their own ideas. They must think that they are living in the city. I can't get along anymore." Picking up the wine glass, he swung at Wei Jianguo, the two of them took a sip, and then they fucked up, and then the two of them hissed and started to pick up vegetables.

Originally, pouring wine was the job of the younger generation, but the two of them felt that they hit each other very well, gossiping, drinking a little wine, without Yang Ming, Yang Ming could only watch from the sidelines with greedy eyes, and couldn't intervene at all.

"Old Wei, don't get drunk..." Xue Hua warned.

"Okay, okay, you don't care if I keep a dog, and you don't care if I drink alcohol? Today, we have a relationship with Lao Yang, and we just want to get drunk." Wei Jianguo said with a smile.

"Hmph..." Xue Hua snorted twice, and then looked at Yang Ming: "There are a lot of gossips in front of the widow's house, so be careful when you get along, and don't let the village gossip..." As the mother-in-law, It can only be mentioned to this extent, let alone in front of other people's parents.

"That's right, Zheng Bao'er is going to call you Dad now, and once you start calling him like this, there will be more rumors." Zhang Shufang also warned.

"It's okay, Mrs. Liu is a decent woman." Wei Qingqing said something for Mrs. Liu.

"You should be more careful. Rumors don't care whether you are a decent person or not." Yang Ming picked up his chopsticks to pick up vegetables.

"It's still Yang Ming who understands..." Xue Hua praised his son-in-law.

"When you have a chance in the future, bring the little guy here and let your dad and I see it. After all, it belongs to our grandchildren." Zhang Shufang said.

"What do you bring? Yang Ming and Qingqing are getting married on October [-]st, and they plan to go to Qinhuangdao. Let's take care of their house. There is a hot spring there, and our sisters are just taking a bath." Xue Hua said.

"I've only heard that soaking in hot springs is good for the skin, but I've never soaked in hot springs before..." Zhang Shufang said with great interest.

"They've all gone, so we won't keep anyone here?" Wei Jianguo said.

"Who said we won't keep anyone? Our sisters are going, don't you two brothers keep dogs? You can stay and take care of the dogs..." Xue Hua gave Wei Jianguo a white look.

"Yes, yes, let them serve the dog, let's go to the hot spring..." Zhang Shufang also said.

"You don't know yet, do you? If you go, you will serve more dogs than we do. Yang Ming has more than 20 dogs there." Wei Jianguo broke an explosive news. In mountain villages, dogs are the guarantee of personal safety. Although Wei Jianguo likes dogs, he also knows that the dog has a legitimate purpose, so it is difficult to ask for one.

"Hehe, yes, we have 27 dogs, 18 Dalmatians, 5 small stupid dogs, and the remaining 4 are special hybrid dogs, one of which is a cross between a Tibetan mastiff and a bear. .” Yang Ming laughed.

Wei Jianguo and Yang Zhengfang looked at each other and said in unison, "I'm going too..."

"Dog idiot..." Zhang Shufang and Xue Hua also said in unison.

"Mom... I heard that you and Dad are here? Why didn't you tell me?" The door was pushed open roughly, and Sun Fangfang rushed in directly, shouting at the top of her voice.

Zhang Yang followed behind Sun Fangfang: "That's right, we are your uncle and girl..."

"It's Fangfang and Zhang Yang? They just got off work? Haven't eaten yet? Come and have dinner..." Zhang Shufang still liked Sun Fangfang very much, and hurried to the kitchen to add dishes and chopsticks for the young couple. The daughter-in-law, naturally followed.
