Chapter 11 The so-called relatives, the so-called family

Early the next morning, I was woken up by the loud knock on the door. When I opened the door, I found that it was a person from the neighborhood committee. I was holding a document in my hand and said to me in a very cold tone: "You are Chen Ge, right? This community will be rectified and renovated in the near future. All buildings will be demolished and rebuilt. You can move out as soon as possible before the end of the month, and then find a new place to live."

The tone was tough and there was no room for negotiation.

The documents were real, I read them carefully, so I had to nod and promised to move out before the end of the month.

I originally thought that this house was relatively old and cheap, so I rented it, but I didn't expect it to be demolished so soon.

I used to lit a cigarette and smoked it hard, and my heart was very calm. It seemed that I had encountered too many things recently, which had already numbed me.

I knocked on the door of the room and found that my wife had woken up. I said to her: "The house we live in is about to be demolished and we will move out before the end of the month. Since you want to go back to your parents' home so much, just take your son away. I usually go out to pick up goods and sleep in the car."

The wife hesitated for a moment, then bit her lip and said, "Honey, I thought about it all night and thought I was wrong yesterday. I shouldn't have gone back to my parents' home without saying hello to you. The house should be demolished. We are husband and wife. At worst, we can move to a worse place and live with it."

I glanced at my wife and thought to myself that this is a change in temperament?

I shook my head, not much moved. I am a person with a serious mental obsession. No matter how virtuous my wife is, she cannot change the fact that she cheated on me. She cuckolded me. I can't forgive her, absolutely impossible.

After breakfast, I checked all my bank cards and found that the total amount of money I earned in the past few days was less than 20,000 yuan. It should be fine to rent a nearly three-bedroom apartment nearby, but it can only last for two or three months at most. My son’s tuition fees and daily expenses for the next semester are all required. If my business is not good, the whole family will really have to eat dirt.

It is definitely impossible to borrow it from my father-in-law and mother-in-law. I beat Lin Xiuyan last night, and she might even take revenge on me. There are not many people around me who are familiar with me, and there are probably no chance of borrowing it. The only way is to pay the demolition money for the land in my hometown.

I thought about it all morning and finally made up my mind to go back to my hometown tomorrow to see what was going on.

Actually, I wanted to go back by myself and let my mother stay. On the one hand, I could help take care of my son, and on the other hand, I could make my wife worry about it and dare not blatantly steal fish, but it was not possible. Only my mother was familiar with the land at home, and she also wanted to visit her father's grave, so she had to give up.

In the afternoon, the community reconstruction was basically spread, and the residents complained that the relevant departments did not inform in advance. It was mid-month and the departure time was only ten days. Where can I find a new place to live in such a hasty place?

I bought a good train ticket online, but I didn't tell my wife that she was going back to her hometown. I lied and said, "Jia Jia, don't worry, I will find a way to find a new house. As a man, I will never let you not even have a place to live. Today I want to send my mother back to the suburbs. If you are at home, you should pay attention to your son, it's best not to go out."

Don't go out. I deliberately said it very seriously. My wife didn't know if she could hear it. Her face was a little unnatural, so she forced me to go and go back early. Xiaoyang would be optimistic, so I don't have to worry.

I didn't say anything, I simply packed up a few clothes, and the next morning, I took a bus with my mother and headed straight to my hometown in Pingxi.

The city is quite far from the small county town of my hometown, and it will take at least six or seven hours. When I was in the car, Huo Xinlan sent me a message on WeChat, saying that she would go to another place in the past few days and would have to wait for her to come back to talk about the goods.

Very polite.

Except for being more careful in budgeting, Huo Xinlan can't find any other problems. This kind of woman is strong but she is very good at managing the family and is a good player in life.

I didn't care and continued to close my eyes and rest. The bus took the expressway from the city and finally turned onto the second-class highway. It took me seven and a half hours to drive. It was almost five o'clock in the afternoon before I arrived at Pingshan County, my hometown.

I thought to myself that I hadn't been back for more than two years. Although I had a bad relationship with those relatives, I had to buy something and go through the motions. But my mother knew that I was tight and refused to buy it, so we had to go home with empty hands.

The arable land left by the older generation was not abandoned, but it was contracted and rice was planted, and the harvest was quite good.

The old house is not far from the roadside, and you can reach it just by turning a corner. It is ironic. It was dark when I came back. My mother and I didn’t disturb anyone, but we were still discovered by our relatives. It was about eight o’clock in the evening. The family members of the uncle, second uncle, fourth aunt, and uncle seemed to have agreed and rushed into the door.

I haven't come back for more than two years, and the house is covered with dust and I can't live in it at all. My mother said to my uncle: "Brother, I heard that your house built a new house a few months ago, with four floors. Can we stay for a few nights?"

The second uncle shouted at me with a dark face: "Chen Ge, aren't you developed? Didn't you buy a villa in the city? When I saw you two years ago, you were so awesome. I would rather use so much money to build bridges and roads and donate it to primary schools than to give it to us. How can we poor relatives be able to stand up to you? If you are so capable, don't come back?"

The uncle smoked a dry cigarette and didn't say anything. Instead, the uncle stood up and sneered at my mother, "His third brother and sister, you don't buy some fruit biscuits or anything like this time. I mean, I want to live in my new house? Why are you so big-faced?"

My mother was a little humble, grabbed her clothes with both hands and said humbly: "Sister-in-law, Chen Ge has suffered a lot in business. She came back to give her ancestors a stick of incense. If nothing else, we will stay for two days, it's really only two days."

The fourth aunt had a grudge against me, and held her hands beside her and said sarcastically: "What business is going to go bankrupt? Is it going to be a direct bankruptcy? What did you do when you were developed before? When we saw our relatives, we didn't even say hello, and we still asked you to borrow some money. Now that we have difficulties, we have come back and want to recognize our ancestors. How can we do such a good thing in this world?"

My fourth uncle is a butcher, big and thick. He probably had drunk wine and had a more temper. He said that you would come back and let you go to the grave, but don’t expect to borrow money from us. Even if there is one, you won’t give it to us! Let’s put it here. Anyway, your father wanted to separate the family back then, so he would rather not plow the fields or other houses. He had to ask for this broken house. What if there is a courtyard? Isn’t it close to the roadside? During this period, it said that you would build a green area and you have to requisition your land. If you don’t have a penny at that time, you can just wait and cry!

Looking at the faces of these relatives, I was so angry that I felt angry that I said viciously that even if I starve to death, I would not lend you a penny. Now this is my home, and you are not welcome. Please go out now!

The fourth aunt screamed and said, "Look at this little pussy, why did you talk to your elders?" In the past, we gave in to you, but now you don't have money. Anyway, you don't have a single plow of the fields, and you don't grow vegetables. You deserve it if you starve to death!

The eldest uncle became even more violent and shouted at my mother with his waist on his waist: "The reason why my third brother died so early is that it is your devastating star. Look at your good son, you will not take care of your family when you get rich, but only care about your own happiness. Since you have the backbone to go out, you will never come back in your life. It is best to die outside and die far away, so as to save your annoyance!"

My mother was surrounded by several relatives and scolded and cried. On the way back, she kept advising me not to make a fuss. She didn't say a harsh word. She kept murmuring, but why do these people pressed step by step and why did they have to be so excessive!
