I quietly watch you play

"You believe me right, the money is invested in Daliangzi's company, and the return is doubled in half a year! At this time next year, 20 will change to 40. Do you still have to worry about the baby's tuition?" Chen Zhanzhan stepped on his feet. Swinging his legs on the bench, "You can't spend money until you make money. That's called living money, and it's dead money if you hold it in your hands! Do you know how to manage money?"

"Our family doesn't have the money to survive." Chen's mother looked at her husband with a bitter face, "In my opinion, let Xiaojin pay off that credit card first, the interest is so high..."

"Oh my mother!" Chen Zhanzhan curled his lips, "You've got your eyes set on the clouds! What is my brother's status now? It's just the loan he owes to those three melons and two dates, and he randomly sweeps two brooms in the cracks of the floor of Zhou's house Just pay it back, there’s no need for you to worry about it! It’s superfluous—”

Chen's mother felt that her daughter was right, and she let out a long sigh of relief: "Those people called to ask for money, they scared me to death... You said they wouldn't want to go to Zhou's house, right? Although they have them, Xiaojin also wants money." Faceless, it seems not good to be in debt like this..."

Chen Zhanxiang, who was holding a dictionary and reciting words next to him, raised his head: "What are you thinking! This is the living expenses that my brother gave to the family, so that parents will be less tired, and it is not used to waste water and fill holes!"

He is tall and thin, with a bookish manner, even if he is angry in his heart, the words he speaks are not so sharp and harsh.

"Master Yo!" Chen Zhanzhan pushed his younger brother's head, "You little brat reads your book, don't worry about the adults' business! The Chen family expects you to be a glorious ancestor, tsk, but in my opinion, you are like a big brother." It’s still useless to go to university, and you’ll ask your family for money, and it’s extracurricular practice and what kind of camp... It’s not as good as Daliangzi and the others who know how to make money.”

"You kid, don't you worry that you won't be able to pay the tuition after you spend the money? You old Chen's men are so smart!"

Enraged by the misunderstanding, the young man stood up angrily with a blushing face: "I said that I won't spend my family's money after I am admitted to university. I will work and get a scholarship by myself... I will support myself!"

"Then you grew up drinking the wind all these years?" Chen Zhanzhan passed on his father's words to his younger brother, "cooperate with you and take care of yourself. If you have a big future, I have the obligation to take care of you." Parents are in charge of the family, right?! Why did I try so hard to please Liangzi, just like him, am I blind? I didn’t do it because of—"

"Okay!" Father Chen twisted out the cigarette, drank so loudly that everyone was silent, and then took out another one, lit it and held it to his lips and took a deep breath, "Your mother and I can't move on the bed until you bother." So far, there really is a day when you don't need to worry about it. If you can all take care of yourself, we will really burn the incense."

"In the past, Xiao Jin spent a lot of money on going to school, but now that we have Zhou's family, we don't have to worry about it anymore. It's much more comfortable for the child to live in other people's hands than in our house."

Chen's mother didn't know what to think of, and secretly wiped her tears again.

Father Chen: "Xiaoyin, don't you not like to listen to what Dad says. The three children in our family are indeed counting you as the first earner, but if you want to study, your mother and I will do the same. It's you who said it wasn't that." It’s a bit of an idea. You did help your brother’s tuition. If you feel wronged, you can record how much money you have, and Dad will pay you back. By the way, I will take... just take the 20 that your brother gave you and pay it back first. .”

Chen Zhanzhan seemed to want to retort, watching his father's chapped fingers, finally nuzzled and remained silent.

Father Chen: "The baby is not yet an adult. It is a child. It should be used at home. You will be admitted to university next year. Dad will pay for the tuition. Dad is not old enough to carry a scraper spray gun. If he can afford it, he will pay for it. I'm not afraid that I won't be able to make money. For families with children, studying is a serious business, so don't be distracted by thinking about it..."

Chen Zhanxiang explained in a low voice: "Dad, there are student loans in universities now. I have checked it. If I can get a first-class scholarship, it will be enough for living expenses and accommodation. If I can find a tutor, I can still have some left over for my family."

Father Chen nodded, feeling very relieved: "Let's do what we can, they are all top-notch, it's not that easy."

"And your elder brother, I mean... Zhou Wei, this kid is used to enjoying life, and he may not be able to live with us. He doesn't force, he doesn't force. He is also going to be admitted to university this year. The Zhou family has feelings for him. After all, he has been raised as his own for 20 years..." Chen's father sighed, and then smoked vigorously, "The Zhou family should be able to support him to finish his studies."

"Then our family has raised the Zhou family's children for 20 years in vain," Chen Zhanzhan complained with little confidence, "Isn't what he said very nice, if you have any difficulties, just ask them, at least let's play tricks in Danyang first." Let’s live in a decent house, a few million is not as simple as ordinary people buying a cabbage for them.”

This metaphor seemed to have moved Chen's mother, and she raised her tearful eyes, showing some kind of trance with anticipation.

Chen Zhanxiang replied: "That family has also raised our children for 20 years, and they still raise them so expensively. If we really want to settle accounts, should we pay them back more?"

Chen Zhanzhan: "Aren't you stupid in studying, can you say that? Can you calculate the bill like this? What is the condition of the family, Peony City, a big group, our family will not be able to make money for a day's income! How about subsidizing it? Now, this is not normal—”

Chen Zhanxiang: "The other people's money didn't come from the wind. Besides, didn't brother give us 20 yuan? What else do you want?"

Chen Zhanzhan: "If you want to say that you are ignorant! Do you know that the deposits of rich people's families can be tens of millions in interest if they don't do anything in the bank for a day! Isn't this caused by strong winds? This is simply Is it easier than a strong wind blowing money?! Otherwise, I’m exhausted trying to persuade you to invest money?”

"Dreaming," Chen Zhanxiang walked into the back room angrily, "I didn't see you return half a dime for the Honglibao I bought last time!"

"That's a stable medium-to-long-term insurance investment, you know what!" Chen Zhanzhan seemed to have been stepped on by someone's tail, "Mom, take care of this little bastard, whoever you see is the best, they give you 20, but it's not in vain. Got a real brother!"

She patted her thigh: "Yes, our new eldest brother is definitely not short of money! Look at how kind Mr. Zhou is to him. My own grandfather is not so kind to me. He will act coquettishly and extend his hand when he goes back. Don’t you say that there is no objection?”

Chen's father hummed behind the lingering smoke and said: "We haven't supported anyone for a day... Forget it, let me take this money, first give him third uncle to pay back the debt I was hospitalized last year, and Xiao Jin borrowed it for school. I have to pay back the few houses first, and let’s talk about the rest, I can live anyway..."

"Then I don't have to pay back what I borrowed from my sister?" Chen Zhanzhan scratched his finger, "Fourteen thousand, your Xiaojin borrowed it when he bought the computer, and it's been almost half a year—"

The iron door creaked, and a young man of medium build walked into the shadow of the main room with his back against the sun, and stood by the door.

Chen's mother's eyes lit up instantly, water dripping: "Xiao Jin! Xiao Jin is back!" She rushed over to hold the young man, her lips fluttered, not knowing what to say.

"Mom and Dad," Zhou Hui called out in a low voice, walked into the room, raised his hand and put a rolled convenience bag on the wooden table, which was square and thick in a stack, "Zhou... the bag was given to me by my family. , you take it and use it first, I will have it later..."

Chen Zhanzhan grabbed the strap and took a look inside: "50? It's true that the richer you are, the more stingy you are—"

The younger sister was not out of shape in front of her elder brother, she rolled her eyelids up and down and looked it up: "The new clothes are not bad, much better than your previous height imitation, these shoes alone cost more than 2 yuan, right?"

Zhou Hui gave her a blank look, but said nothing.

"Is Xiao Jin still used to living here? Are their families getting along well?" Mother Chen pulled her son reluctantly, "Let's eat at home tonight. I'll go buy meat and make you your favorite fried dumplings with radish and mutton. I'm going to..."

Zhou Hui grabbed Chen's mother: "Mom, don't be too busy, the driver is still waiting, I will transfer my account and apply for a new certificate later."

Chen's mother's eyes darkened, tears rolled up, and she nodded understandingly: "That's right, I will do it sooner after the arrangement is made, Xiao Jin, I will come back to see your younger siblings often when I pass by in the future... The second son of the Zhou family The boy looks difficult to get along with, you just passed, be patient with everything... How is the stepmother treating you? Are you used to eating... Don't worry about the family, keep the money for yourself, don't let people laugh at us, don't bend yourself height……"

Chen Mu babbled incoherently, and Zhou Hui's brows slowly wrinkled, as if trying to endure.He has "endured" this kind of "meticulous" nagging for many years.

Man is a strange animal, and when he utters almost gossip with just one mouth, he cherishes the words like gold, guesses sentence by sentence, and benefits a lot.

The night before, Ji Qing talked to Zhou Hui and said that the Zhou family wanted to give benefits to the Chen family at one time, but this careful mother thought for Zhou Hui and suggested that he should not give too much at once.

Ji Qing was graceful and luxurious, with elegant manners. This kind of female elder had never appeared in Zhou Hui's life, and even if she did, she would not give him half a look. Now she was sitting opposite him smiling and gently giving him advice.

"Think about it, the Chen family has quite a few relatives in the county and villages. If they suddenly have too much money, they probably won't be able to keep the money with the kindness and good temper of your adoptive parents. Why not? It’s more practical to use it slowly to improve their lives.”

Zhou Hui felt that this was very reasonable. When he went to school and Chen's father went to see a doctor, many of his relatives paid out of face to help him, so if the Chen family suddenly got a large windfall, they would like to take the opportunity to get it back. There are definitely only a lot of benefits and even advantages.

There is no way, the atmosphere in the village is like this, the trees are big and deep-rooted, and their tendons are connected to each other. Anyone who climbs out has to drag a bunch of vines from his uncle and aunt behind him, and it is a sin to break any one.

In addition to that idiot Chen Zhanzhan's foolishness, maybe the money will be thrown into some deceitful investment project and squandered.

Seeing him nodding, Ji Qing continued: "That's what I think. After all, it's a kindness from your parents to raise you, so it's more appropriate to give everything the Zhou family wants to give from you. Outsiders will praise you for being sensible. , What do you think? Grandpa entrusted the matter to me, and I will entrust it to you, you know the situation of the Chen family best, anyway, with such great intentions, you know how to measure, right?"

Zhou Hui suddenly understood the hidden meaning in her words. Ji Qing was saying that the Zhou family paid the Chen family a certain amount, but this amount was given to Zhou Hui here, and how much he gave was up to him. Forget it, of course the rest belongs to him.

Zhou Hui's chest was throbbing faintly, which felt very familiar, as if he used various excuses to ask for a fair amount of money from his parents, or temporarily obtained a burst of affluence through online loans.

"When a boy grows up, all kinds of contacts between friends, chasing girls and so on... there is always some money in hand. In the future, you will know when you play with the young masters of other families. Our family is no worse than anyone else. We should have money." You can't save face."

Zhou Hui subconsciously continued to nod.

"But," Ji Qing smiled with satisfaction, and even patted Zhou Hui's shoulder affectionately, "You just came back from outside, and grandpa has a good impression of you. He thinks you are a down-to-earth and simple child... Let me say something, In the Zhou family, not everyone can be pampered and willful like Zhou Wei, not even my own son. So, you'd better not make grandpa unhappy, he's not in a good mood right now... "

"I see, thank you, Mom." Zhou Hui replied docilely. Ji Qing was telling him that Zhou Chen was in a bad mood just after losing his favorite child all the way. Feiyang is arrogant and indulgent, after all, he has already used up the quota of such a prodigal dandy in the family, and the opportunity will never come again.

Since he came from a commoner, it might be better for him to arouse a little guilt from the old man by honestly emphasizing his simple and plain civilian persona.

"Don't be too nervous, clean up your previous affairs," Ji Qing gave him a cryptic smile, as if to say, I know all about your affairs, but I can choose not to speak out.

Zhou Hui's whole body shivered, his skin got goosebumps.He noticed that Ji Qing used the word "clean up" instead of "handle", and he felt as if he was pinched seven inches, feeling suffocated.

"Besides, the Chen family is not your home after all, this is it. The son of the Chen family has already gone back, and it should be his duty to support his parents... After all, he has taken advantage of you for so many years, you Say it?"

Zhou Hui's thumb pressed hard on the knuckles of his index finger, staring blankly at the smiling woman in front of him, but couldn't say a word.

In his heart, the hatred for fate and Zhou Wei rose little by little.

After a few words, Ji Qing gave Zhou Hui a bank/bank card with a balance of 500 million.

Big amount!

Zhou Hui lay in bed tossing and turning for half the night, and decided to take out 50 yuan and send it to the Chen family.

50 is really a lot, enough to see a doctor and buy medicine for Chen's father, enough to pay for the baby's tuition, and even enough to give Xiaoyin a dowry... 50 is enough to afford a decent building in Dalishu Village , Worth four or five years of father's wages... 50, they will not suffer from raising themselves for 20 years...

Zhou Hui felt that Ji Qing's words were very reasonable, and by accident, the son of the Chen family took advantage of him, so why would he want to cheat on his own parents?

Repaying parents with filial piety should also be a matter of Zhou Wei and has nothing to do with him!
