The call was from his predecessor's mother.

" Hey, mom what's the matter? "

"It's not a big deal. It's just that I cooked chestnuts at home and sent you some. Remember to collect them. There are also others things that you love  such as fermented bean curd, kohlrabi, dried sweet potato, and sausages..." There was a lot of talk over there and she hesitated and said, " Fourth son! "

"Well mom, I am listening, just tell me what you want to do. " Meng Zezhi said in a pkeasent tone.

Mother Meng paused and sighed quietly and said, "Isn't that your eldest sister's children are all reaching the marriageable age?  There are some that can't live in the same family anymore. Your eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law want to buy another set of houses, you see? "

This is the rhythm of how the Meng Mother asks Meng Zezhi to pay!!

Over the years, including the filial piety to Meng's mother during the holidays, the total amount of money and change that thee predecessor took to his hometown was no less than 2 million. Xu Jiaqing and her predecessor almost got into divorce because of his predecessor's third brother's house affair. After the fight, his predecessor was less concerned about the affairs of his three brothers and sisters' house.

That's why Meng Zezhi can play freely now.

He said: " I remember that the house of the eldest sister's house was just built a few years ago? "

In order to build this house, Meng's mother subsidized 10000 yuan, and her predecessor took 80000 yuan. 

Although not much, it was all the savings of the predecessor at that time. On the contrary, his eldest sister's family basically didn't take much money out of the house except for a sum of money spent on the roof of the house. 

At that time, this 90000 yuan was enough to build a small western-style building of two-story and contain seven-bedroom, in the countryside.

 

If this was the case before, after listening to her say this, the fourth child would have patted his chest and agreed, at this moment Meng Mu clearly heard the rejection from her son.

So she changed his mouth instantly: "Yes when your eldest sister's house was built, the foundation was actually quite deep and good, now if it's not enough you can just add another layer on it ..."

In fact, it's not that Meng's mother didn't understand and was biased. The palm and back of her hands are all fleshy, but in order to send the youngest son out of the mountain, the eldest son and two daughters made huge sacrifices.

Now that the youngest son is promising, it is naturally time for him to repay his brother and sisters.

In her opinion, although the eldest son is matrilocal ( live in son-in-law), fortunately, the woman has a good family background and he has never been short of his food and clothing. Now he also has a child with his own surname, his back is straight now his personality is also much more cheerful.

As for the youngest daughter, although she marred to a lame, she is all good because her husband is an upright person with no father and mother and she can be the master of her house as soon as she entered the door. Although, life was very difficult at the beginning and her husband got into a car accident the youngest son paid for his operation. Now he can drive the motorcycle and provide the delivery services in the county, it's a little bit harder but still is more than enough to feed his family.

 

Only the eldest daughter who married a widower, raised a bunch of stepsons and stepdaughters, and married for 24 years but still doesn't have a child of her own. 

The eldest son-in-law has nothing else to do, so she can only live by farming in the village. In addition, she is also getting older now and is a little unable to do work. She gets sick every few days and the burden of the whole family is on her eldest daughter.

 

Meng Mu is distressed for her eldest daughter, she can only say a few things, she likes the youngest son the most in her heart, not only because he has a good life, but the most important thing is the whole family has the favor of the Youngest son.

 

Therefore as soon as Meng Zezhi showed a sign of rejection, Meng Zezhi's mother immediately stopped thinking of asking further.

 But some people don't think so. 

" How can it be enough?  The problem is which girl is willing to marry in the countryside like this.."

An urgent voice faintly came from over the other side of the phone. 

"What are you talking about!" mother Meng snorted, and then the phone was robbed.

"Fourth old man, I am your eldest brother-in-law. Your two nephews are both twenty-seven and eighteen this year, But the daughter-in-law hasn't settled yet. At this time, Jia ming finally talked to a girl  and the girl's family doesn't want anything just  asked for the house, You say where else can we find such a good  proposal."

 

The tone on the other side of the phone instantly softened: " But you also know the conditions of my family fourth child, Now the family is supported by your sisters alone. Even if we emptied our savings, we couldn't get so much money. Yes, Otherwise I won't speak to you. "

 

This is his Eldest brother-in-law, He Zhenli.

 

Meng Zezhi heard this and only said, " How much do you want? "

He Zhenli's tone immediately becomes excited: "It's not a lot, six hundred thousand is enough."

This is a small county town, where the homes are built in the mountains, with inconvenient transportation and not a developed economy, so housing prices are not naturally much higher. Generally, the price to build a house is only 20000s and the price can be even lower in remote places. 

Six hundred thousand yuan, it must be enough to buy two houses with three bedrooms and one living room. And the remaining money to make a simple decoration. 

He Zhenli counted his youngest son's wedding house too.

Sure enough, he continued to him with a smile and said: "When your first nephew gets married, isn't it your second nephew's turn? I want to prepare the house in advance so as not to be like this as a headless fly, don't know where to go. "

He Zhenli doesn't think that he is shameless, he just thinks he is being careful.

The fourth son bought his third brother a son's surname for 600000 yuan and he spent nearly 400000 yuan for his second brother-in-law to treat his legs. It just doesn't make sense to give his house just 80000 yuan to build his house and pass away this matter.

The eldest sister is big and he wants six hundred thousand yuan now.

Meng Zezhi laughed angrily.

When did the predecessor did not try his best to help his family, can this be simply measured by the amount of money??

 

Meng Zezhi only knows one thing, Being grateful is okay but  I can't let you be a bloodsucker for granted.

 

Meng Zezhi said calmly: " Is my eldest sister-in-law here, Let me say a few words to her."

Although He Zhenli didn't know exactly what Meng Zezhi was trying to pull up, he was boss now, since he had money, sp for the sake of six hundred thousand, he could only pass the phone to sister Meng who was aside."

 

"Hey, fourth child.."

There was a hoarse voice of a middle-aged woman over the phone. Meng Zezhi paused: " Sister, are you feeling well? "

"Cough, cough... " Sister Meng cleared her throat and said, "It's okay, but when I was picking up Xiao Ning from school two days ago, it suddenly got rained and we got halfway in it and got cold. "

He Zhenli's ex-wife left him with two sons and one daughter. Compared to his two sons who have not been married his youngest daughter married early and Xiao Ning is her son.

Because his daughter and ex-wife look-alike, He Zhenli usually loves this daughter most. After 

Xiao Ning was born, his grandparents were unwilling to take care of him and his parents were busy working again, so He Zhenli had taken him back home and let Sister Meng take care of him.

This care has lasted for eight years and the child is in elementary school.

Meng Zezhi's heart sank: "Sister, what do you think of this? "

Hearing this, He Zhenli quickly winked at her.

"I. .."Sister Meng opened her mouth as if thinking of something her expression was a little sad and said, " What else can I think. "

Meng Zezhi understood, he said: " I see. Give the phone to Mom."

" Hello, Fourth Child? "

" Mom, are other siblings there? "

" No, what's the matter? "

"You call them back first, I have something to tell them."

"Okay," Mother Meng nodded hesitatingly, have feeling that her youngest son's tone seemed a little wrong. But she also knows that this error was not directed at her.

She glanced at He Zhenli and then as Meng Zezhi ordered, she found her youngest son's phone number in the phone address book and called them.

"Mom, what's the matter? " He Zhenli didn't understand so he suddenly felt anxious. 

Mother Meng ignored him and urged the third child to come over quickly.

Hanging up, Meng Zezhi turned and walked toward the laboratory. 

Hearing the sound, Zhu Zhengqing put down the instrument manual that he had taken down in his hand looked up at Meng Zezhi, and said calmly, "Is the call finished? "

"Yes."

At this moment, Meng Zezhi's mind was occupied by the family matter and he never remembered what happened just now.

He said, " By the way, Professor Zhu something happened to my family matters  so I will go back first." 

The school is a crowded place and is not good to deal with family problems here.

 

Looking at the Meng Zezhi indifferent face as if nothing happened just now, Zhu Zhengqing nodded hard " Okay" 

" Then I will come back to you in two days. " 

After speaking, Meng Zezhi turned around and left the laboratory.

Listening to the fading footsteps in his ear, Zhu Zhengqing headed his mind.

Is Meng Zezhi ignoring him or did the other party not get the hint at all?

The corner of Zhu Zhengqing's lips is pursed and he decisively chooses the latter. 

Such a big old man, and still so ignorant? 

Zhu Zhengqing frowned slightly, so sad!!
