Chapter 180 Where is the money? Where is the money?
He Lamei said: "You are not at home, is it possible that there is an empty room for you? What a waste!"
"There are two main houses. Your father and I live in one, Zhigao lives in the other, and your sister lives in the east wing. The west wing has been rented out for a long time. It costs eight yuan a month. At least it can help support the family.
.”
Zhu Zhicheng didn't know what it was like. He was the eldest son in the family, but there was no place for him in the family.
He couldn't help clenching his fists, "Then where will I sleep when I get home?"
Seeing that he seemed a little unhappy, Zhu Yongqing quickly said: "You just sleep with your brother, it won't be for a few days anyway."
Zhu Zhicheng felt unspeakably uncomfortable after hearing this.
But He Lamei shook her head hurriedly, "How can that be done? The main house on the west side is going to be built for Zhigao's new house. The furniture is all new. Outsiders cannot sleep on this new wedding bed!"
The word "outsider" deeply hurt Zhu Zhicheng's heart.
His eyes were red, "An outsider? Am I an outsider?"
He Lamei looked embarrassed, "Oh, that's not what I meant. You misunderstood."
"I mean, no one else can sleep on the wedding bed except the young couple."
Zhu Zhicheng originally didn't want Su Qian and the others to laugh at the joke or argue with his parents, but now he really couldn't help it. He looked at He Lamei and said, "Then let me ask you, where do I live?"
He Lamei took a step back and said, "Oh, what do you mean? You are staring at me as if you want to eat someone."
"How do I know where you live? I didn't say hello in advance when I came back, so I was not prepared at all."
Zhu Zhicheng looked at He Lamei and felt his heart become cold.
This is his mother.
He has known since he was a child that his mother doesn't like him.
Because it was difficult to give birth to him, it took him a day and a night to give birth to him, so I didn’t even bother to look at him after he was born.
After giving birth to him, she refused to take him with her because she was hurting her body. In the end, her grandma took him away, and he has been living with his grandma and grandpa.
He didn't go home until he was in high school.
His mother always told him that because giving birth to him was difficult and hurt his body, he was full of problems, so he must be filial to him in the future.
He has always kept these words in mind. He can't make much money, but he has tried his best to repay his parents and help support the family.
But he always felt that even if his mother didn't like him, they were always mother and son, and blood was thicker than water.
And everything today made him understand completely that perhaps in the eyes of his parents, he was not a member of this family at all.
Susie Qiaomu and Uncle Liao were sitting there, feeling as if they were sitting on pins and needles.
At this time, it doesn’t matter whether they leave or not.
Zhu Zhicheng suddenly lost the desire to say anything more. He turned around, picked up his bedroll, and said to Uncle Liao: "Uncle Liao, it's not convenient at home, can we find a guest house to stay?"
Uncle Liao quickly stood up and said, "Okay, if there's anything you can't do, let's go now."
Zhu Yongqing saw his son carrying his bedroll and lifting his travel bag. He panicked and said, "Zhicheng, you just came back, you can't just leave."
"Here, we don't have room at home, so we can just go to a neighbor's house and squeeze in at night."
After all, this is his biological son, and he left before his butt was even hot. People would laugh if they found out.
Zhu Zhicheng said calmly: "I won't bother the neighbors."
He strode out with his bedroll on his back, Uncle Liao followed with a cane, Susie and Qiao Mu also followed.
Just as he walked out of the door, a voice suddenly came from behind, "Zhu Zhicheng, don't leave yet!"
Zhu Zhicheng stopped, but did not look back.
He Lamei hurriedly ran out of the house and pulled Zhu Zhicheng, "Where's the money?"
"I wrote to you and told you that my family needs money urgently. Where is the money?"
Zhu Zhicheng was as stiff as a piece of wood. He didn't say a word and just stood there.
Susie has endured it until now and can no longer bear it.
She walked over and looked at He Lamei, "Aunt, do you know what kind of life Brother Zhu lives in the country?"
“Almost every day I eat sweet potatoes.”
"He is reluctant to eat the rice distributed by the production team. He will exchange it for money and send it home to you."
"In two or three months, I will have to sell blood, and my body will be damaged."
"He does hard and tiring work in the production team just to earn more work points and send more money to his family at the end of the year."
"Have you never thought about how difficult it is for him, a man who earns work points, to send money to you?"
He Lamei opened her mouth, "This, we don't know this either."
Her eyes wandered, "Besides, life at home is not easy either."
"He is the eldest son in the family, so he should shoulder more responsibilities."
Su Qian didn't say anything more. She shouldn't interfere too much with other people's family affairs. She just said this because she wanted Zhu Zhicheng's parents to put themselves in his shoes and feel sorry for their son.
At this time, Zhu Zhicheng turned around and said, "Susie, let's go."
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and strode out.
Tears flowed uncontrollably against the wind.
He Lamei was still shouting from behind, "Where's the money?"
"You won't bring back any money, right?"
"I knew why I was coming back like this? I might as well save the travel expenses and send it home!"
No one answered He Lamei's words, and the four of them left the alley in silence.
Su Qian looked around and said, "Is that okay? Brother Zhu and Uncle Liao will live in a guest house near my home. In this case, it will be easier for me to find you if anything happens."
Zhu Zhicheng nodded, and everyone walked for a while and then got on the bus.
There is a guest house not far from the compound where Susie lives.
Susie took out the letter of introduction and booked a private room for herself.
Qiao Mu asked in a low voice, "Aren't you going to go home?"
Susie nodded, "I won't go back for the time being. I'll wait a few days to see what happens."
Qiao Mu said: "Then I will live here too and I will accompany you."
Susie looked at him helplessly and said to the waiter: "I want another triple room."
The waiter didn't even bother to raise his eyes, "Letter of introduction."
Uncle Liao took out his letter of introduction from the radio factory and successfully booked a room.
This guest house is in pretty good condition. It has a men's and women's bathhouse, and hot water is supplied in the bathhouse every morning and evening.
Su Qian followed Uncle Liao and the others into the three-person room first. After entering the room, Zhu Zhicheng sat there without saying a word and with his head lowered.
Su Qian didn't know how to comfort him, so she thought it would be better to find something for him to do. She happened to be planning to discuss with Uncle Liao Qiaomu how to deal with Su Zhenguo, so she might as well let Zhu Zhicheng join in.
Zhu Zhicheng is a good person, and Su Qian thinks he can be trusted.
Susie thought for a while and said slowly: "Brother Zhu, Qiao Mu, I'm telling you something. Don't be too afraid after hearing it."
Zhu Zhicheng felt that Su Qian was going to say something important and was not in the mood to think about things at home. He looked at Su Qian seriously and waited for her to speak.
Su Qian slowly told the truth about how she was adopted by the Su family since she was a child, and the purpose of the Su family asking her to return to Beijing this time.
Uncle Liao waited for her to finish speaking, and then added on the side to explain how to change one's life from the sky.
