Chapter 12 Desperate
My fourth uncle thought I was easy to bully and wanted to come up and grab my hoe. I raised my leg and kicked him, which made him hit the wall. The others were in a mess and cursed and wanted to take action. I put the hoe horizontally and acted desperately, which immediately scared everyone.
I am nearly 1.8 meters tall and I have been holding the goods for more than a year. I have solid muscles on my body. I can pick up the rice bags of dozens of kilograms with one hand. Even if I really have to work hard, no one present can think of it.
It was probably obvious that I was not easy to mess with. My fourth aunt's family finally became timid and left cursed, saying that I would let me go and see. Even if I had the courage to come back, I would have to have the attitude to live there. Others also left the house one after another and spit on the door when they were about to come, which was so furious.
My mother wiped her tears silently, so she went to clean the room in the inner room and tidy up the moldy bed. I was afraid that she would be tired, so I went to the kitchen to clean up the pots and pans. I worked until midnight before I cooked two instant noodles with my mother for supper.
I couldn't sleep all night, so I simply took a bench and sat in the yard to see the cars coming and going on the road outside.
In recent years, my hometown has changed a lot. There are green belts everywhere, and the earthen houses are almost gone. There are four or five-story flat buildings around. In the fields farther away, there are farms and orchards everywhere. These are all brought in by me in the past few years. My mother has been teaching me that we should not forget our roots in life. I heard that I spent a lot of money, so I spent a lot of money. I should have tens of millions of dollars. I also donated two primary schools to improve the environment and improve transportation in the village. When I came back in the afternoon, I found that there were quite a lot of students and I should have already taken the stage.
I was on the right track. At that time, my uncle and the second uncle advised me not to spend money in unnecessary places, and it would be better to lend it to them for business. I also borrowed it at that time, but I didn't borrow much. Several relatives combined, and I must have a hundred million. I didn't think about asking for it, but they were not satisfied. They said that I was willing to spend tens of millions for outsiders, but I gave my relatives a little bit of it and came to make trouble every day. My mother and I couldn't stand it, so we changed the number and cut off contact with everyone, and it turned out to be like this today.
I can't figure out how could these relatives make money without my investment back then, how could they improve their lives and live a comfortable life in a small foreign house?
I didn't borrow money when I came back. I just wanted to sell the old house and go out to continue doing business. But my relatives all thought wrong. They humiliated my mother and I, ruthlessly trampled on our dignity. I will definitely get this account back and give it to my relatives. I am just a ungrateful person. Don't let me make a comeback, otherwise I will definitely make them regret it.
It was dawn, and I sat all night without knowing it, with ignited cigarette butts around my feet.
The village soon became lively. It is said that there was rain in the second half of the month, so people around Pingshan County came back to worship their ancestors in advance. The streets and alleys were full of cars, and people came and went, which was even more lively than going to the market.
I was smoking and stood by the roadside, like a fool. No one recognized me as the philanthropist with tens of millions of dollars back then. This made me a little disappointed, but it was reasonable. I was about to go home to make breakfast, but as soon as I turned around, someone shouted in the distance: "Chen Ge!"
I looked back and saw an Audi sedan parked on the side of the road. A beautiful woman with purple hair walked down. She was not very tall, about 1.65 meters tall. She was a cute type. She was about the same age as me, with long eyelashes, and she looked like she was connected. Her almond eyes were faintly charming. This was very similar to my wife, which made my heart hurt again.
I threw away the cigarette and said with a little surprise: "Zhang Chuyu? Long time no see."
The purple-haired woman stood in front of me, tiptoed, patted my shoulder gently, and said happily: "I haven't seen each other for many years. Chen Ge, have you encountered trouble recently? Why don't you shave your beard all over?"
I remained silent and said perfunctorily that everything was fine, thank you for your concern.
Zhang Chuyu is my college classmate. We had a relationship when we were in my junior year, but later we broke up because of our disagreement. At that time, I was only thinking about studying fashion design, which was completely free of distractions, so I missed many opportunities to roll the sheets with Zhang Chuyu. Now that I think about it, I really regret it.
Zhang Chuyu is one year younger than me, 29? A woman of this age should have been married and had children, so I asked her, "You are back to worship your ancestors, why don't your husband come together?"
Zhang Chuyu glanced at me and said, "What are you talking about nonsense? I'm not married yet, where did my husband come from?"
I was a little surprised. With Zhang Chuyu's appearance, it was no problem to marry into an ordinary wealthy family. I was almost thirty years old and had not gotten married yet, which was really a bit unreasonable.
Zhang Chuyu seemed to guess what I thought, so he smiled at me and said half-jokingly: "The reason I don't get married is because I'm waiting for you. I wonder if you're divorced?"
I felt bitter in my heart, but I laughed and said that my children could make a fuss. If you want to rekindle your old love, you have to ask my wife whether she agrees or not.
Zhang Chuyu sighed and said, "Does your wife look as good as me?" If you fight with her, will I still have a chance?"
It made me wonder whether she was joking or serious.
Of course, my wife is much better than Zhang Chuyu. Her long legs alone can make people fascinated. Unfortunately, she cuckolded me and we are destined to be unable to survive.
Seeing that I was in a bad mood, Zhang Chuyu blinked and changed the topic and said, "Chen Ge, do you have a bank card?"
I didn't understand, so I nodded, took out my wallet from my pocket, pulled out a bank card, and asked her what she was going to do?
Zhang Chuyu smiled, took the bank card, and said, Chen Ge, do you remember when I was in school, I borrowed you 7,000 yuan?
I was shocked and subconsciously wanted to grab the bank card, but Zhang Chuyu did not go away very skillfully, showed his face to me, showing two little tiger teeth smiles, "Seven years have passed, and the interest rate is one thousand yuan a year, just doubled."
I was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to do. Zhang Chuyu had already taken out his cell phone and transferred 14,000 yuan to my bank card.
Watching her put the card back in my hand, my face was hot, both touching and helpless. I knew that Zhang Chuyu saw that I was not doing well and was worried about hurting my self-esteem, so I used this excuse to help me.
When I was dating her, I was a dog-licking dog. I had three part-time jobs a month and spent 7,000 yuan to buy her the latest Ai Cang mobile phone, but this is a gift and should not be taken back. I didn’t expect that Zhang Chuyu would remember it until now.
"Okay, I'm going to rush back to worship my family for the ancestors. Let's contact us on WeChat if we have time." Zhang Chuyu added me on WeChat, then blew a kiss at me, and then returned to her Audi car.
I felt a little emotional. Zhang Chuyu looked not very changed, but was still so beautiful. His personality was the same as before, lively and cheerful. If we had reached the end and got married smoothly, would the ending be different now?
I was in a heavy mood and put my bank card back into my wallet and went home in a daze.
After breakfast, I called the real estate developer using my mother's cell phone and asked him to come over today to negotiate the demolition. Unexpectedly, the other party was quite efficient. He arrived in the afternoon. He drove there, and there was only one person, and I still know this person.
It's Huo Xinlan!
I was a little confused at the time. Didn’t she do clothing business? Why did she become a real estate developer? She said that she would go to another place for a few days to deal with the demolition of my family?
Huo Xinlan dressed casually, casual clothes and canvas shoes, making her look like a young and beautiful college graduate. After entering my yard, she frowned slightly and slapped her hands in the air from time to time, as if she was a little disgusted.
When I saw me, Huo Xinlan was also quite surprised and said that I didn’t expect this to be your hometown. Uncle, are you short of money now? The location of this land is very good, with a wide view and close to the road. The price may double in a few years. You can’t let temporary greed blind you.
I was a little hot and said whether I lack money or not has anything to do with you? Are you a real estate developer? If so, then negotiate the price quickly.
My tone was very unfriendly. Huo Xinlan probably didn't know where he got me offended, and he was a little unhappy. He said if you don't believe that I am a real estate developer, then don't sell it. Anyway, there is a good piece of land in the next village, and the price may be lower, and they are still very enthusiastic.
I was angry and laughed. What's the use of this little girl looking good? She doesn't understand the world at all. She looks disgusted when she enters the door, and says whisperingly, you are greedy for money and have all kinds of superiority. She still hopes that I will give you a good look?
The more I thought about it, the more angry I became. When my mind was hot, I would turn against her. But at this moment, my mother entered the yard with a chicken in her hand. My face changed and I went up to ask her, "Mom, where did you come from, you are?"
My mother pulled me to the side and whispered, "Son, this girl is your friend? She is kind-hearted and warm, and she looks like a husband. You have to have a good talk with others and not neglect them." After that, she turned around and smiled at Huo Xinlan, saying hello, girl, stay for dinner today.
Huo Xinlan nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, auntie, I'm just hungry, so I'll leave after having a meal."
I was about to explain, but my mother had already glared at me and asked me to talk to Huo Xinlan in the hall. She turned around and poured boiling water into the kitchen, and killed chickens and plucked feathers in the yard.
As a result, the chicken feathers were only half pulled out, and the aunt ran in with a dark face, pointed at my mother and screamed: "You damn thief, that's the big rooster I used to breed!"
My mother's face turned pale and pretended not to hear it. She continued to pull the chicken feathers. The eldest uncle pointed at her and scolded: "What did we say yesterday? If you have the ability to come back, you must have the right to live. You and your son have nothing else except this broken house. If you can eat and drink with all your face?"
My mother begged, "Sister-in-law, Ge'er's friend is here. There is no food at home. You can take care of it more. You can't do this between relatives..."
The eldest uncle smiled angrily and said that when we borrowed money from your son, weren’t you very awesome? You cut off contact with your family. Now that you are in trouble, remember that your relatives are coming? Tell you that you can eat my chicken, unless your son kneels down to apologize to me, there will be no door!
Huo Xinlan was a little stunned. She probably didn't expect that our relatives were so bad. I was so angry that my teeth were itchy and I was about to get angry. My mother threw the chicken into the basin and came up to stop me, saying, "Ge'er, go back, listen to my mother, go back quickly..."
