marriage is natural

Chapter 60 It's Good To Have An Ally

Thinking about it this way, Zhao Hemao suddenly realized, and the mess that had troubled him for the past few days was completely untied.

It is true that He Qingdong snatched her up one step earlier, but it is still unknown who will be able to hug the beauty back in the end.

Just like in a game of gambling, the one who gets off to a good start may not win in the end.On the contrary, a real winner is one who loses a few hands at the beginning, comes back again and again in the later stage, and wins a big victory in the end.

"Thanks, little one!" He whistled to the chick in the nest and waved to the next taxi.

"Where are you going?" Wu Yue asked slowly after getting into the car.

"Go back to the hotel first, then go to the airport."

"Really back to the capital?" Wu Yue looked at Zhao He, who seemed to have changed, blinked and couldn't react for a while.

"Yeah." Zhao He bent his lips and smiled, patted Wu Yue's shoulder, and called: "Wu Yue."

"what?"

"Next semester, please help me make up the lessons. Whether it's a retake or a make-up exam, please take the time to help me make up for it. I don't want to delay my graduation or take another year. That would be too shameful."

Wu Yue: "..."

Master He, where have you been for the past three years?Only the last year of university is left, did you realize that you have completed all the subjects?

However, after thinking about it, Zhao, a scumbag who caused headaches for teachers in various subjects, finally decided to stand up. As a close roommate, shouldn't he weep with joy and then rush to tell everyone?
……

The members of Lao He's family heard that He Xidong was admitted to Qingshi No. [-] Middle School, and they were as happy as the second elder, envious as the second aunt, and jealous but deeply despised by the eldest aunt.

But no matter what these people thought in their hearts, on the surface, they all expressed their desire to give gifts.

Since it is necessary to give gifts, a banquet is naturally inevitable.

Fortunately, the two elders didn't say they wanted to go to Qingshi on the phone, that probably meant to let their family go back to Hejiabu and entertain relatives and friends there.

This is even better!

He Mu came back from the phone call next door, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to He Wei: "It's probably because your second aunt told us about the conditions when we rented Jiangsan Lane, so many people came and there was no place to live. He didn’t say he wanted to come to Qingshi.”

Father He nodded: "Then go back and set up two tables, don't tell them about buying a house."

"I still need you to teach me!" Hemu gave him an annoyed look, walked into the room, and cleaned rice and vegetables neatly.

When there are no outsiders, the lunch and dinner of the family of four are all eaten in the woodware shop, so as to save the new home from fumes.

He Wei helped Father He sort out the order list for a while, and put the delivered ones in the drawer, and hang the undelivered ones on the wall with a small clip, so that Hefu can look at them at any time, so as not to forget.

After sorting out the order list, I went inside and asked Hemu if she could help.Hemu handed her a small bag of edamame, and asked her to sit outside and peel the beans for frying shredded pork later.

At this time, He Xidong also came down from the attic, and showed He Wei some newly taken photos of wooden utensils like a treasure, and asked her to choose the best ones by the way, and planned to post them to the online store after dinner.

Since He Wei helped him choose once, He Xidong entrusted this task to her.

It's not that he's lazy, it's that he took the photos. If you look at them too much, you'll get tired of looking at them.And the photos selected by my sister, after being uploaded to the online store, all of them have a higher click-through rate than those selected by him, what does this mean?My sister's aesthetic ability is better than his.As the saying goes, those who can do more work, he unceremoniously handed over this task to her.

While peeling the bean meat, He Wei picked out the photos that she thought were good one by one. After the bean meat was peeled, the photos were also selected.

Taking advantage of the whole family being there, Hemu was cooking and flipping through the old calendar, and decided to return to Hejiabu. August 23rd was an auspicious day, and it happened to be Hefu's birthday in the solar calendar.

So, in the next few days, the whole family was busy driving away.

He's father is naturally busy in the shop.He had to get out of work for the few days when he returned to Hejiabu, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to the client.

He Mu is packing his luggage. Since there is a banquet, he must prepare tobacco and alcohol, right?So she asked Xiao Wang from the Tobacco Hotel next door, and pre-purchased several packs of cigarettes and a box of eight-year-old glutinous rice wine.As for the other ingredients, she went to the food and non-staple food wholesale market for the durable ones, and went to the town to buy the unsafe ones.

He Xidong is still running between home and master.When I was at home, I managed the online store; when I went to his master, I naturally learned about antiques.

He Wei is also not idle, except for taking care of the flowers and plants on the balcony of the house that He Xidong often takes to the attic to make photo props, the main thing is to go to Yuxiu Pavilion to do embroidery work.When I come back, I sometimes bring some silk thread and satin along the way.After dinner in the evening, I had nothing to do, embroidered a few stitches, accumulated a few embroidery pictures, and then framed them with the photo frames that Father He made a lot of at home, and hung them in the rooms of myself, my parents, and my brother.

Don't look at just a few small embroidered pictures, once hung on the wall, it immediately adds a touch of elegance to the home.

Of course, she picked out those simple embroidery patterns, even if a knowledgeable person saw it, she would at most praise "the embroidery is good", and put it in front of the ignorant father, mother and He Xidong, and only said She is the result of going to Yuxiu Pavilion every day to learn art, so she has no suspicion at all.

Just as the family was busily busy preparing to return to Hejiabu for a banquet, Lao He's family called and said, "There is no need to go back, the eldest family, except Gangzi who manages the store in the town, the other three I ran out for a trip", these are the original words of Grandma He.

Hemu was so angry that she asked Grandma He on the other end of the microphone: "Mum, how can you do things like this? I bought a lot of things, and the number of people was determined by you at that time. It was said that there were two round tables. A table for everyone, a table for cousins ​​who came to give gifts, and now they say..."

Grandma He interrupted Mother He impatiently at the other end: "It's not that I don't want you to invite me, it's because the eldest family is not here. Dongzi did well in the exam, and we are both happy when we grow up, but we have to ask for a treat. It’s only good when the whole family is here! I missed the eldest family, what it looks like when it gets out... Anyway, everyone knows, you tell Dongzi, let him perform well in No. [-] Middle School, and come back with good grades in the Chinese New Year exam. You and the third child invite everyone to have a rub..."

Hearing this, Hemu was too angry to say a word, hung up the phone with a "click", and went back to her shop in a rage.

Seeing her appearance, Father He couldn't help asking: "What's the matter? Didn't Xiao Wang call from his hometown? Who's calling?"

"Who else!" As soon as Mother He opened her mouth, two lines of "shua" tears came down, and while sobbing, she told Father He what Grandma He had said.

When Father He heard this, his face turned pale.What does this mean?Originally, their family had no intention of accepting gifts or entertaining guests, so they decided to go back to hold a banquet because of what their hometown said.Now that everything is almost ready, they said that there is no need to invite them, oh, they want them to change to invite them after the Chinese New Year.The meaning of this day is that they are not treated as family members?Or are they deliberately humiliating their family?
One of the couple wiped their tears silently, while the other was sullen, and Xiao Wang from the next door shouted again: "Lao He! Sister-in-law of the He family! Another phone call from your family—"

He Mu wiped away her tears, rubbed her red and swollen eye sockets, and got up to pick it up.

This time it was the second aunt of the He family who came.

"Wanfen, did Amu call you just now and tell you not to come and serve Dongzi wine?" The second aunt asked on the other end of the phone with a suppressed voice.

"Yes. What do you think this is? Our family has prepared a lot of things..." Seeing that Hemu had an ally, Balabala vented her depression.

After hearing this, the second aunt sneered, and said, "Em is trying to save face for the boss's family. What kind of travel is it? It's not bad to go out to avoid debts."

"Ah?" He Mu was dumbfounded, "What's going on?"

"What's going on! Boss He never changed his gambling nature, and two days ago, he exposed a big debt. This time it's even more outrageous. Some say more than 100 million, and some say 300 million. I don't know the exact amount. I only know that it was a new debt after the last debt was paid off. I said that I didn’t believe in evil, and I would definitely be able to reverse the situation. It turned out that the loan sharks owed a lot of interest, and I couldn’t pay the interest, so I revealed it... "

"Oh! My sister-in-law came to ask our family to borrow 50 yuan. She said that the steel business came to pay us back the money first. I believe her to be a ghost! I asked our family to borrow and haven't repaid it. This is another new debt. I Reply to her directly: Up to [-], is there more? The little money at home was saved for Xinxin to go to college and ask for a wife, and I gave it to her. What will our family do in the future?"

"She said, I don't know, the goods in the steel store have been taken away by the creditor, how can it be possible to get money from this in a short period of time? If it is not legally supported by the three-percent interest usury, this matter will probably go to the court No, the house and the car can't be kept, so why don't they close the courtyard door to hide their debts..."

The second aunt spit and talked all over, and finally concluded her statement: "In short, the eldest family has suffered a big fall this time."

After He Mu answered the phone, she returned to the shop with a strange expression.

Father He gave her a puzzled look, and was about to ask her who called this time, and after she answered the call, her face was not as ugly as before. Could it be that there is some good news from her hometown?

Before he could ask, the Hemu Bamboo Tube poured out beans and told the story of the second aunt's tip-off.

Father He was also shocked when he heard this.

More than 100 million? 300?Or ask about gambling debts from usury!
Boss He, is this the rhythm of "as long as today is not tomorrow"?
When the He Wei brothers and sisters came back, they saw their parents sitting there sighing and sighing. They hadn't even washed the rice for dinner. They couldn't help asking in surprise, "Dad? Mom? What's the matter? What happened at home?"

"It's not our family, it's your uncle's family."

Hemu told the two children about this afternoon, and finally sighed: "In order to save face for the eldest family, your grandma lied to me that she went on a trip. Come and ask us how much money we can scrape together to borrow from the boss..."

But this time, Hemu wronged Grandma He.

When the creditor came to the door, Grandma He cried and cried for a while. After the convulsion passed, how could she not advise the eldest son to ask his two younger brothers to borrow money to raise money?

It's just that the uncle wants to save face. First, she still resents He Wei for taking away Uncle He's gambling luck. Second, the feng shui turns around. She is afraid that the third family will laugh at them if they find out, so she forced Grandma He Do not speak.

"Come to ask Mom, would you borrow it?" He Xidong asked amusedly, loosening his shoulders for Hemu.

"Of course not! You couldn't afford to go to school at that time. Did your uncle or aunt say that you would borrow from us? I didn't even see them let it go! They are still gambling debts! Don't say our family can't pay it A few money, even if you can get it, you will never borrow it!" Hemu said firmly.

"Then it's over, Mom, what are you struggling with?" He Xidong calmed down the gloom in Hemu's heart with a few words.

Too!If it wasn't for the second sister-in-law's revelation in private, the family wouldn't know about it at all.Since the two elders would rather make excuses than tell them the truth about their family, they are happy to cooperate and act as if they don't know. It is only serious business to manage their small family and children well.

As for the pile of ingredients that were supposed to be brought to Hejiabu to entertain relatives?Easy!Inviting my daughter's teacher's family to have a light meal at home to return favors, it was such a happy decision!

A few days later, He Mu was urging the two children to prepare supplies for the new semester, when the second aunt called again.

Xiao Wang next door called He Mu at the top of his voice, and his daughter-in-law sat at the counter and stabbed angrily: "I call every two days, why is this phone in our house called a public phone? I think it should be changed to your He family's hotline." gone."

When He Mu heard this, the smile on her face was immediately replaced by embarrassment.

It was still the second aunt who called.

It is said that Boss He's gambling debts have been paid off, and it is the elder sister-in-law who asked her natal brother for help.

The eldest sister-in-law's natal family also started a steel business, so the family is naturally well-off, and now two sons are in charge of the family.But if they want to spend 300 million to help my brother-in-law pay off his gambling debts without saying a word, that's completely out of the question.No one is stupid, let alone a businessman, who is shrewd.

Aunt He asked He's mother to guess that the elder sister-in-law's two brothers and sisters-in-law promised to help He Boss pay off the 300 million gambling debts, what request does she have.

"Charge some bank interest?"

"Confiscate the interest of a cent, but it's much more ruthless than bank interest!" Aunt He laughed in her voice, and explained to Hemu: "The three-story building of the old family, the storefront room in the town, and the There is a car and a van, all of which have been transferred to my sister-in-law and her two natal brothers. But they are still used by the eldest family, they still live in the house, drive the car, and manage the stores in the town, but how much they earn? The money is not something they can get, but the natal brothers pay the couple wages, and one day the 300 million debts are paid off, and the house, car, and shop can be redeemed..."

"Pfft!" Hemu almost choked on her own saliva, "Is there such a way to help?"

"No! We were all dumbfounded when we heard about it, but when we think about it carefully, there is no other way. Otherwise, if Boss He goes out to gamble indiscriminately, sister-in-law will really seek death and life. This is fine now, as things spread. Throughout the town, everyone knows that Boss He has no family property, and his natal brothers are helping him to live. If he goes out to gamble, no one will lend him the money if he loses it. Those people ask for it if they can’t get it back. of……"

"...But in this way, the face of the eldest family in the village and the town has been completely ruined. You don't know, seeing them coming back from the mother-in-law's house that day, their faces were ugly, and my father and mother were almost angry because of this. Can't get out of bed, complaining and sighing all day..."

"However, Wanfen, I would like to advise you, let's pretend you don't know about this matter, don't come back, my sister-in-law is still talking bad things about your family Weiwei in front of my father and mother Well, this mind is really smaller than a needle..."

After hanging up the phone, He Mu was in a complicated mood.

Back in the store, after telling Father He about the matter, he couldn't help complaining: "Did the heads of the two bosses get kicked by the donkey? It's come to this point, and they are still blaming our Wei Wei. Did Weiwei ask her uncle to gamble? Or did Weiwei ask her uncle to borrow usury after losing the bet? At such an advanced age, even with his granddaughter in his arms, it's still so confusing..."

but--

With a raised tone, she couldn't help but say with a smile: "Boss He really kicked the iron plate this time, and there was a dead crab. Baba ran to his mother-in-law's house to borrow money to pay off his gambling debts. In the end, the debts were paid off, and his house, car, etc. , There is no store left. It is equivalent to his two old uncles, who bought it for 300 million. People who have been in business for decades are different from us. They have a lot of tricks. If you want me, how can you think of it? This kind of help..."

Anyway, the matter was finally settled.Although Father He and Mother He have repeatedly discussed and decided that even if the eldest family comes to the door, they will not lend them their hard-earned money to pay off their gambling debts, but after all, they were born by the same parents. Hearing people say that if you borrow usury, your hands and feet will be cut off, and you will always feel uncomfortable.Now that the solution is resolved, everyone is happy.As for how frustrated He's family will be in the coming days, it's beyond their control.

After that, Grandma He called again, saying that the eldest family had returned, and asked when they would go back to serve Dongzi wine?
He Mu laughed out of anger, she really regarded their family as fools!Bullying them without eyeliner in Hejiabu?
At this moment, Hemu suddenly felt that it would be nice to have an ally like the second sister-in-law. Whenever there was any trouble in Hejiabu, the second sister-in-law would call to inform her.Otherwise, my family would really be kept in the dark and fooled by the elders.

So, He Mu turned around and told her second aunt the address of her new home. Didn't He Xin study in Qingshi No. [-] Middle School?He will be in his third year of high school after the summer vacation, and he usually doesn't go home on weekends. If he thinks the food in the cafeteria is poor, let him just come to eat at home.Now that the house is bigger and the bed is bigger, if you can't get back to school late, it's not a problem to share a bed with He Xidong.

But the second aunt thought it was their newly rented house, so she didn't worry about it, she just said that she would talk to He Xin later and let him come whenever he wanted.As a result, He Xin was thin-skinned, and felt that what happened last time, he was humiliated in front of He Wei's family and made a big embarrassment. He heard his mother say that he had time to go to his third uncle's house for dinner on weekends, but he didn't do it until he graduated from high school. Come.

As a result, the news that He Wei's family moved to a new house, bought a new shop, and their living conditions increased by a large margin did not reach the ears of those in their hometown.

　Resting at home, I have a lot of things to do, and I have a little bit of leisure time. Only now has such a chapter been produced. Because the plot is relatively coherent, I will not develop it separately.mwah! (づ￣ 3￣)づ
