The leisurely life of the reborn daddy

Chapter 1307: The unnecessary 'smart guy'

"Don't talk nonsense." Cao Shujie glared at his daughter.

Now, saying such things in front of his father-in-law and mother-in-law made the old man feel uncomfortable.

But who knew that as soon as he finished scolding his daughter, Mengmeng squinted her eyes and glanced at her father: "Dad, I find that you are quite hypocritical now."

"You obviously don't think that way, but you still have to say that. Who are you pretending for?" Mengmeng said bluntly.

When Cheng Xiaolin heard her daughter's comments, she couldn't help laughing.

Cao Shujie was thinking, I'm going to slap her, how many people will stop me today?

But Cheng Xiaolin pulled Mengmeng over first and said, "Mengmeng, don't talk nonsense. How can you talk about your father like that?"

"Oh, then I won't say anything." Mengmeng became well-behaved again.

But when Li Xiaojuan and Cheng Rengui saw their granddaughter being wronged, they called her over again and said, "Mengmeng is right. Don't listen to your parents' nonsense. Don't pay attention to your uncle in the future. He only cares about money."

This is absolutely true.

It can also be seen how disappointed Li Xiaojuan and Cheng Rengui are with their son.

Before, the money for the son and daughter-in-law to start a cattle farm on their own was given by the old couple. At that time, all the remaining money in the family was given to his son as the starting capital for the cattle farm.

The last time his son invested, he squandered all their savings and owed a lot of foreign debt. That time, Li Xiaojuan and her husband also pooled money to help his son fill the hole.

Unexpectedly, this time the son and daughter-in-law would come to steal their money again.

The more she thought about it, the sadder she became. Li Xiaojuan even asked her daughter if it would be inconvenient if they moved to Qingshi Town.

"Mom, what's inconvenient about this? As long as you have money, you can live anywhere. I think it's really inconvenient to live in Chengjiaopo." Cheng Xiaolin said.

"If you really want to go, I will find you a house when I get back. The price there is really not high, some are less than 3000 yuan per square meter, but the quality of the house is better than those in the city. During the day, you can ride a tricycle to the Caojiazhuang tourist attraction to sell some things, and you can easily earn a few hundred yuan a day, and you don't have to endure like you are now."

"Besides, you and my dad are both over 60 years old. What else do you want? Are you going to take care of my brother until he grows old? Or are you counting on them to take care of you in your old age?"

"Don't be ridiculous. They look so ugly that you can't rely on them!"

Every word Cheng Xiaolin said was heartbreaking, but this was reality.

Cheng Rengui and Li Xiaojuan all understand.

In fact, this was not the first time they had quarreled with their son and daughter-in-law, and this kind of thing could not be covered up. Many people in Chengjiaopo knew that their relationship with their son and daughter-in-law was a bit strained and they could not get along. It was so embarrassing that the whole village knew about it. The old couple had long wanted to avoid staying in Chengjiaopo.

But after leaving Chengjiaopo, they didn't know where to go. If they said they would go to their daughter's place, they were afraid of causing trouble for her and her son-in-law. If others heard them, they would think that they were relying on their daughter and her son-in-law for support in their old age.

However, they really didn't think about it that way.

Cheng Rengui also asked a lot of questions about buying a house in Qingshi Town.

It seems that he is determined to leave Chengjiaopo and live permanently in Qingshi Town.

"Besides, Tiandong and Tianhong are both grown up and don't need us to take care of them. It would be better for them to live in Qingshi Town." Cheng Rengui said.

Because of the quarrel, the atmosphere at home was not very good, but Mengmeng and Cao Yirui, the brother and sister, were talking, singing, and making faces from time to time, which made Li Xiaojuan and Cheng Rengui laugh.

In the evening, Li Xiaojuan called the restaurant in the town and asked them to deliver food. As for her son and daughter-in-law, they did not come. Cheng Yunping did call and said that the second son Tianhong suddenly caught a cold and had to go to the hospital.

Cheng Yunping even posted a photo of himself seeing a doctor at the hospital on WeChat Moments, with the caption: "Taking care of the cows during the day and the children at night, who knew I would catch a cold? I am so exhausted."

Cheng Xiaolin sneered after seeing this. At this time, Cheng Xiaolin just felt that her brother was so hypocritical and hopeless.

Why are you playing tricks on them like this?
Is there anything that can't be said frankly?
Does it have to be like this?
"Mom, you saw it." Cheng Xiaolin didn't want to say anything.

When Li Xiaojuan saw the photo in the circle of friends, she said anxiously: "Tianhong may really be feeling unwell."

"Mom, I'm not making any malicious speculations, it's just too much of a coincidence," said Cheng Xiaolin.

Cao Shujie did not make any comment on this matter, but to be honest, he also looked down on his brother-in-law.

From the moment the couple left their children at home and went out to work to earn money, Cao Shujie felt that they were very irresponsible.

Of course, there are many things that are helpless and understandable.

The key point is that as far as he knows, Cheng Yunping and Liu Yingying did not bring back a penny when they came back from outside that year. According to the information his wife later heard from her mother-in-law, the couple spent their earnings as they went outside and spent all of it on eating and drinking.

How can people with this kind of character be good parents?

In the evening, Cao Shujie and his father-in-law Cheng Rengui had two drinks. Cao Shujie also asked his father-in-law who he planned to sell the cows to.

He also said that if the contact couldn't be made yet, he could help to sell it and that the money could be obtained in time.

Because if you sell the cattle to other cattle dealers, you may not get the money in time.

However, Xinshengzhai Beef Cattle Processing Factory always paid Cao Shujie the estimated price first, and then refunded the excess and supplemented the shortfall.

He felt that if his father-in-law was going to sell these cattle and no longer raise cattle in the future, then it would be the best option for Xinshengzhai to take these cattle away.

At this time, after listening to their son-in-law's words, the old couple Li Xiaojuan and Cheng Rengui also thought that this idea was feasible.

As for the money to buy a house, the old couple has extra money.

In fact, they could also temporarily live in the son-in-law's house in Caojiazhuang, but they thought it was okay for a short time. If they stayed in the son-in-law's house for a long time, it would cause trouble for their daughter. Besides, they were not unable to afford the money, so they simply gave up. "Grandma, Grandpa, if you go to Qingshi Town, we can see each other often in the future."

"That's right, grandma. If it rains again in the future, I will go to your house to shelter from the rain after school. I won't go back to Caojiazhuang." Cao Yiru made his arrangements very clear.

The child's childish words made the old couple laugh.

As for the issue of retirement in the future, Cheng Rengui and Li Xiaojuan are not worried about it now.

It was obvious that the son and daughter-in-law had no intention of taking care of them.

Especially when they said that after they sold this batch of cows, they had no plans to raise cattle anymore and did not plan to keep the 35 calves they had ordered. Look, the two men didn't even come over at night.

Can we rely on them for retirement in this situation?
And to be honest, when the old couple said they would sell the cows and keep the money themselves, his daughter-in-law never mentioned asking them to go over to help look after the children.

Hey!
The next morning, Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin returned to Caojiazhuang first.

Before leaving, Cheng Xiaolin told her parents that she would go back to help buy a house first, and they would give her the money later.

"That's fine, go back and check it out and tell us, and I'll transfer the money to you." This was the unanimous opinion of the old couple.

They really don't want to take advantage of their daughter. I think that being able to make money by raising cattle before was already a big favor from my son-in-law. They don't think it's their due. How can they keep taking advantage of her?

……

On the other hand, when Cheng Yunping and Liu Yingying heard that their eldest sister and brother-in-law had passed away, they thought about coming over and having a good talk with their parents about the money from selling the cow.

But when she thought that her elder sister and brother-in-law could come over at any time, she simply didn't want to bring up that bad luck. As for asking her mother-in-law to help look after the child, Liu Yingying didn't mention it at this time.

The relationship is already like this. If we ask them to come and help look after the children, we will definitely have quarrels at home every now and then.

The most despicable side of human nature seemed to be fully displayed in this place, but it also broke the hearts of the elderly couple Li Xiaojuan and Cheng Rengui.

At this moment, they no longer considered relying on their son and daughter-in-law. They simply decided to go directly to Qingshi Town after selling the cattle, and then get an electric tricycle to set up a stall in Caojiazhuang to sell some things.

No matter how much money they can earn, plus their own savings, it will be enough for their retirement.

If they can no longer walk, they will just go to a nursing home...

……

With the economic development in recent years, Qingshi Town has also built many commercial housing communities, but since it is a town after all, the housing prices here have not skyrocketed.

The price in a better community is more than 3000 yuan per square meter, and in an average community it is more than 2000 yuan per square meter.

After Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin returned to Qingshi Town from Chengjiapo, they immediately went to the community in the town and bought a fully furnished house.

The total cost of the 120 square meters was less than 30 yuan. Cheng Xiaolin did not ask her husband to pay, she paid for it herself.

This house is fully furnished, so you can just move in with your luggage.

She called her parents in Chengjiaopo, and just as Cheng Xiaolin had expected, her mother insisted on transferring the money to them and no one could persuade her.

In addition, Li Xiaojuan and Cheng Rengui already had their daughter's bank account, so they didn't even wait for Cheng Xiaolin's consent and said they would go to the bank to transfer the money tomorrow.

But Cheng Xiaolin also told them: "I don't want this money. If you need money, just tell me directly."

She has more than 2 million yuan in deposits in her bank card, and the annual interest on current accounts alone is more than 100 million yuan.

In the countryside, Cheng Xiaolin tried her best to spend money and order things online, but she still couldn't spend all the money.

She was not worried that her parents would have difficulty in life or lack of money after going to Qingshi Town.

And they are her biological parents, so Cheng Xiaolin will still take care of them.

As for her younger brother and sister-in-law, Cheng Xiaolin just pretended that they had no such relationship.

After returning to Caojiazhuang, Cheng Xiaolin still looked unhappy. Wang Yuelan immediately noticed that her daughter-in-law looked a little strange, and came over to ask her: "Linlin, what's wrong? You were so angry when you returned to your parents' home. Did someone bully you?"

"That's right. If anyone dares to bully our family, I will call the villagers to beat him up together." Cao Jianguo said like a rough man.

But Cheng Xiaolin could feel the care her parents-in-law had for her.

Thinking about the meticulous care and concern the old couple had given her over the years, and wondering how her parents could have ended up with a daughter-in-law and son like that?

I just can't figure it out.

It was Cao Shujie who told his parents what happened in Chengjiaopo.

In fact, Wang Yuelan had heard her daughter-in-law occasionally mention things about her parents' family in recent years, but she never expected that things would get to this point with her in-laws. Isn't this a drama of father and son turning against each other and becoming incompatible?
Wang Yuelan was thinking about how to solve this problem.

She finally said to her son, "Shujie, please invite your father-in-law and mother-in-law to live with you for a while. How come you don't even have this much foresight?"

"Mom, I bought them a house in town and let them live there. They can come to the village scenic spot to sell some things from time to time."

Cheng Xiaolin took the initiative to speak.

Wang Yuelan thinks this is a good idea, and says that old people of their age should do some work to keep themselves busy. If they have something to do, they will age slower.

"After the two parks close, I can go to town to chat with my mother-in-law." Wang Yuelan thought very far ahead. (End of this chapter)
