Rebirth 09: Buying a house with a baby UP owner

"Dad, my wife is telling the truth. We really have no money this year." The eldest brother of the Chu family saw his wife being scolded and hurriedly explained, but before he could finish his words, Mr. Chu stared back with a stern look.

The eldest brother of the Chu family told too many lies on weekdays, but now no one would believe him even if he told the truth.

Zhong Meihui prepared the New Year's Eve dinner with several aunts, and soon a large table was set up. The most obvious thing was the copper pot placed in the middle. This copper pot was as big as a basin, with a charcoal fire burning underneath, and the red oil inside Filled with aroma, the long-marinated couple's lung slices, braised chicken feet, and spicy pig's feet are cooked, all of which are local specialties.

People in Lu County like to eat hot pot very much, but they don’t use hot pot for New Year’s Eve dinner very often. This year’s meal was specially arranged by Mr. Chu. The purpose is to hope that everyone can get rid of this year’s bad luck and live a prosperous life in the coming year. .

Everyone was sitting around the table, but no one dared to move their chopsticks first. Mr. Chu had many rules and liked to speak at the dinner table, especially the New Year's dinner, where he wanted to summarize everything from the past year.

"Last year, the fourth daughter-in-law contributed the most to the family. When the old man was sick, she contributed the most money and effort. She also supported the third child's family, and even found a good marriage for the fifth child. When the sixth child fell ill, his family went to the capital to take care of him. He even quit his job as the fourth child, which was a huge sacrifice. As brothers and sisters, you all have to toast her."

Mr. Chu raised Zhong Meihui to a very high position as soon as he came up. He said that Zhong Meihui was the benefactor of the entire Chu family and everyone must respect her.

Mr. Chu's words made the eldest brother and sister-in-law's faces darken. There should be an orderly relationship between brothers. There is no reason for the eldest brother to respect his younger brothers and sisters. But now that they are not welcome at home, they don't dare to refute what Mr. Chu means. I could only sit there and protest silently.

"Fourth brother and sister, it is thanks to you that our fast food restaurant can reach the scale it is today. Let's toast you." When the third sister of the Chu family saw that the eldest brother of the Chu family was not moving, she took the initiative to pick up the wine glass and resolved the problem. The embarrassment before my eyes.

Of the entire Chu family, they received the most help from Zhong Meihui. If it weren't for her, their family would still be digging in the dirt, and they wouldn't have the good life they have now.

The money they earned this year has allowed them to rent a house in the county, and they also renovated the house in their hometown. If they work hard for another year next year, they can buy a house in the county.

However, they know that their second sister and sister-in-law have been keeping an eye on their business, so they dare not reveal their wealth. Otherwise, they can give their family 2000 yuan for this year's New Year money.

"Yes, Fourth Sister-in-law, Shui Miao and I are all thanks to you, and we both respect you for this cup." Fifth Sister also respects Zhong Meihui from the bottom of her heart. She naturally knows that her future parents-in-law now respect her. Most of the success is because Xu Shuimiao works under Zhong Meihui.

If Zhong Meihui hadn't pulled Xu Shuimiao out of the abyss and given him a decent job and a generous salary, I'm afraid the two elders of the Chu family would not have considered him as their future son-in-law.

"Fourth sister-in-law, I don't need to say it. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even be alive this time." The sixth brother of the Chu family also picked up the wine glass. His body could recover to this extent, and he also transferred to the hottest Department of Computer Science, thanks to Zhong Meihui for dealing with it.

"Oh, Meihui has really helped our family do a lot of things. Fourth brother and sister, I'd like to toast you too. If anything good happens in the future, you'll have to think of us."

Although the second sister of the Chu family has not been favored by Zhong Meihui, her family is in business and has always been tactful. At this time, a few nice words to socialize are nothing.

The eldest brother and sister-in-law of the Chu family saw that all the brothers and sisters were toasting, so they could only bite the bullet and offer a toast to Zhong Meihui, but both of them looked very ugly, and even the corners of their mouths were twitching.

Mr. Chu nodded with satisfaction. He valued the authority of the head of the family most, and no one in the family could disobey him.

"Now that the sixth sister's studies have been stabilized, the big thing next year is to arrange the marriage between the fifth sister and Xu Shuimiao beautifully. You brothers and sisters must help each other and contribute money and effort. This time the fifth sister is engaged, and the fourth daughter-in-law is The eldest brother and the second child have prepared a lot of things and done a good job. During the wedding, the eldest brother and the second child should come out more and do their duty as the eldest sister and sister-in-law."

Mr. Chu's eyes swept over the faces of the other children. He knew that Zhong Meihui would definitely not lose the fifth sister, but one person could not pay for the whole family's affairs, and the eldest and second eldest brother must also find a way.

In the past two years, their family has had the best conditions, but the money given to the family has been the least. This time the fifth sister got married, they would have to pay some money no matter what.

"Dad, my little sister's marriage is a big deal, and we will definitely do our best." The second sister of the Chu family agreed, but did not give a specific amount.

She was resentful in her heart. When she got married, her eldest brother had just gotten married and couldn't afford any extra money. Her younger brothers and sisters were still young and couldn't count on them. Even the dowry her parents gave her was very shabby. , saying that he wanted to leave some money for his younger siblings.

At that time, she felt that as the eldest sister in the family, she should have shouldered more responsibilities, but now that they were all counting on her to contribute a share of the money when they entered college and got married, the second sister of the Chu family felt it was very unfair.Although their family has lived a good life in recent years, they have saved up little by little hard work, so why should they leave it to their parents' family?

After dinner, everyone was watching the Spring Festival Gala in the living room. The sixth brother took out a laptop and played cartoons for Chu Ruoxin and several other children.

"Lao Liu, this computer is very expensive, isn't it? Where did you get so much money?" When the Chu family's sister-in-law saw that Liu brother even had a laptop, her eyes widened. Now is not an era where computers are popular. It is difficult for people in the county to even own a desktop computer, and laptops are even rarer.

Moreover, the laptop owned by the sixth brother of the Chu family was a brand-new one and was definitely expensive. The eldest sister-in-law of the Chu family took a look at Mr. Chu and felt that he must have secretly given the money to the sixth brother.

"My sister-in-law bought it for me." The sixth brother of the Chu family looked at Zhong Meihui very affectionately. Now he is in the computer department and relies on computers to complete many assignments. If Zhong Meihui hadn't bought a computer with extremely high configuration If you give it to him, he will have to borrow the school's computer and it will be difficult to complete his homework within the specified time.

"Your fourth sister-in-law is really special to you. She has been in the house for so long, and I haven't seen how good she is to our family." The eldest sister-in-law of the Chu family felt a little bit upset when she saw that all the brothers and sisters of the Chu family were so close to Zhong Meihui. taste.

When she entered the house, her younger brothers and sisters in the Chu family were still young and respected her. But since Zhong Meihui married in, the whole family has focused on her, and everyone has paid less and less attention to her sister-in-law. .
