Reborn 1980: Good Wife Gets Rich and Busy

Xiao Huzi shook his head: "If you don't tell me, how will I know?"

"They are probably afraid that we will ask for money." Ahu guessed: "So they don't dare to come. They think that the funeral will cost money, and they can take this opportunity to ask for it back from them."

"Isn't it just 20?" Xiao Huzi said disdainfully: "In the past, buying a house and a car cost a lot of money. The total should be more than 300 to 20 million, right? Why don't they pay back the previous money? They are only worried that the [-] is not enough? What if we want to follow They have asked for it a long time ago, why wait until this time?"

Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help but explain: "There is such a tradition in our hometown... If the person who borrowed the money dies, the person who borrowed the money from him must quickly raise the money to pay it back as soon as possible, so that the deceased will not be in peace. Of course, there are also people who deliberately do not Those who pay it back, or those who don’t, are still in the minority.”

"Haha!" Xiao Huzi sneered: "My uncle and aunt are both weird and definitely belong to the minority!"

Ahu stopped and said, "I need to explain to them that we don't want them to pay back the money, but we want to invite them to attend the funeral. According to our tradition, the parents' family must be informed of the funeral, and the parents' family will come to attend the funeral." "

Xiao Huzi looked at Cheng Tianyuan and explained: "Uncle Yuan said the same, so I called him in the morning."

Ahu thought for a moment and said proactively: "No, I'd better tell them in person."

"What else are you talking about!" Xiao Huzi said angrily: "They can't even talk about coming, so why don't you force them to do it? Do they have to come?!"

Ahu frowned and explained: "This is the tradition of my hometown."

"What time is it!" Xiao Huzi pointed out the window and said: "This is abroad! Not back home in Rongcheng! Dad, we are not familiar with the place here, so if we want to hold a funeral, we can only keep it as simple as possible. It can be less Just be less troublesome."

Ahu shook his head: "You don't understand...this is the rule of our hometown."

"Pull them down!" Xiao Huzi snorted angrily: "What are the rules? They are all made by people themselves! You have not been in the country in the past two years, and you have no idea how strict the epidemic control is. Whether it is rules or old rules Traditionally, save whatever you can, and don’t use it if you can. In the face of the epidemic, everything is people-oriented, and how to do it safely and healthily. It is reasonable for them to be afraid that it is unsafe to go abroad, and they are not just making excuses. Besides, they don’t want to go with Our family has been going back and forth, why do you have to be so sentimental!"

"You kid..." Ahu glared at his son and lowered his voice: "After all, they are your mother's relatives. I was raised by your grandmother as a widow, and I have no other brothers and sisters. Your mother doesn't have many close relatives, that's all. A younger brother. Just because we don’t have much contact with each other doesn’t mean we won’t have any contact with him anymore. You are a junior, so you can’t say this casually.”

"I'm telling the truth!" Xiao Huzi snorted coldly on the tip of his nose: "They only recognize money. Without money, there is no family affection. What do such feelings and relatives do!? How real can the family affection bought with money?! They So what if we come? What? Will my mother be happy? Will she survive? It’s not all your wishful thinking!"

"You——" Ahu was so angry that his hands and feet were trembling.

Cheng Tianyuan was startled, and quickly pushed Xiao Huzi away, holding his old buddy's arm.

"You can't be angry. Don't get excited, don't get excited, and speak slowly if you have anything to say."

Ahu was pressed back and he took a few deep breaths, feeling his chest became more and more stuffy.

"You stinky boy... just make me angry to death." Xiao Huzi felt guilty. Although he was unwilling to do so, he still had to soften his tone.

"Dad, don't be angry, I - I just said something indiscriminately."

Ahu took a few deep breaths and closed his eyes tiredly.

Cheng Tianyuan helped him tuck the quilt and asked, "Why are you so angry? What can you do if you are angry? Although Xiao Huzi went too far, he was not completely wrong."

Ahu opened his eyes and glared at the old brother.

"You-you're still talking to him?"

Cheng Tianyuan said confidently: "I'm just telling the truth. Huzi said that this is abroad and it is not as convenient as at home. This is indeed the truth. We pay attention to the rules and traditions of our hometown, but not here. We have to base it on the actual situation. When doing things, we cannot blindly follow the traditions of our hometown. The current epidemic prevention policy is very strict, and it is not easy to go abroad. It is convenient for us to come and go, mainly because Ah Qing has a wide network of contacts and can help us settle everything. Others do not It’s for sure, don’t take it for granted.”

Ahu curled his lips, unable to find the words to refute.

Cheng Tianyuan continued: "I told Huzi that we still have to notify. As for whether the other party wants to come, we can't force it. If you don't notify, it's your father and son's fault. If you inform them and they don't come, the initiative lies with them. They are also the ones who are rude and immoral. Now that they are not coming, why bother to force them to persuade them? Can you still kidnap them? You are now a mud Buddha crossing the river, and you cannot save yourself! You can't even stand up, so you expect so much What to do? Take care of your own body first, that’s the most important thing!”

Ahu sighed helplessly and whispered: "It's mainly because of this brat..."

"He's right." Cheng Tianyuan interrupted him, "Family ties are important, but the exchanges are mutual and cannot be based on your family's wishful thinking. You are the one who paid the money, you are the one who borrowed the money, and you are not wrong. Besides, they are all the way away. So what if you come here? Bow a few times to Wang Qing and cry hypocritically. What do you get? If they really care about Wang Qing, why did they never visit her once when they heard that she had been paralyzed for several years? Back then, We flew to Rongcheng to escape the summer heat, but we just didn't reach their doorstep. Why didn't they come out to care about you? Not even the most ordinary greetings. How much feelings do they still have for Wang Qing? She herself didn't care anymore , what do you still care about? Whose relatives are they?"

Ahu was confused by the question and couldn't answer.

Cheng Tianyuan's eyes pointed to the little Huzi on the other side, and continued to persuade: "These years, the family has been raised by the little Huzi, and he has long been able to take charge of himself. Your health is so bad now, how can you still manage this family? In the future, you will have to rely on Huzi. His ideas should also be respected when it comes to family matters."

Ahu hesitated for a moment and asked hesitantly: "Then...then don't ask them to come?"

"The little tiger is barking." Cheng Tianyuan emphasized repeatedly: "They don't want to come. Since they don't want to, let them do it. There is no need to force it."

Ahu was still a little uneasy.

Cheng Tianyuan poked his arm with his hand and whispered: "We are not in the imperial capital now, we are on someone else's territory, and things cannot be as convenient as in China. Some rules can be omitted, and some old traditions should be adapted to the times. Change."

"...Okay." Ahu finally compromised, "If they don't come, forget it." (End of Chapter)
