950 Never be a demon to support your younger brother
Wang just took Zhu Zhe home and asked He Minhong and Yu Chuhui to rest early. However, before Zhu Zhe could go to bed, Zhu's mother called. It seemed that Zhu Mingjie and Zhu Ting had already filed a complaint.
Zhu Zhe took a deep breath and finally answered the phone. Wang Gang stayed with her, holding her hand and offering support.
Zhu's mother was very calm on the phone and didn't blame Zhu Zhe. She just asked her if she had bought a house in Shanghai.
After Zhu Zhe admitted it, Zhu's mother said directly: "Can you help your brother buy a house in Shanghai? He is getting married soon and he can't live without a house."
Zhu Zhe felt a little dizzy upon hearing this, but fortunately Wang Gang held her in his arms.
"Mom, do you know how high the housing prices in Magic City are?" Zhu Zhe said in disbelief.
Mother Zhu smiled and said, "You can already buy a house, so it shouldn't be difficult to buy another one!"
Zhu Zhe took a deep breath and said: "Mom, I took on a lot of debt to buy a house. I had to rent out two of the rooms to survive. I definitely can't buy another one.
Besides, why should I buy a house for Zhu Mingjie?"
Zhu's mother advised: "He is your only brother. You are relatives with broken bones and connected tendons. Don't worry, the money to buy the house is considered a loan from your brother, and he will definitely pay it back in the future."
Zhu Zhe sneered and said: "What can Zhu Mingjie repay? How long has it been since he graduated? He doesn't even have a serious job. How can he have money to repay!"
Zhu's mother explained: "Your brother is just unlucky. He graduated just in time for the epidemic and has not found a job for the time being. He is a college student and will definitely have a job in the future."
Zhu Zhe said speechlessly: "If Zhu Mingjie really wants to find a job, how can he not find it? Even if he goes to the restaurant to wash dishes, he is just spoiled by you. He is afraid of hard work and wants to enjoy the benefits."
Mother Zhu said: "He is just young and ignorant. He will get better when he gets married and has a family. As a sister, you should support him! Don't they say that a eldest sister is like a mother?"
"Mom, how do you want me to support you? I saved my money to support him through college. I just graduated from a vocational high school and have done my best." Zhu Zhe said disappointedly:
"I am Zhu Mingjie's sister and I have no obligation to buy him a house and get married."
When Zhu's mother heard this, she knew that her eldest daughter was really angry. She quickly cried and said, "Xiao Zhe, I know you are working very hard. It's all your father and I's fault that we can't support you in your studies."
Zhu Zhe was a man who liked soft things but not hard words. When he heard his mother's cries, his attitude immediately softened.
"Xiao Zhe, please help your brother this time for the last time, okay? When he stabilizes in the future, he will remember your kindness and repay you."
Wang Gang frowned, took Zhu Zhe's hand, and signaled her not to be soft-hearted. He had seen Zhu Mingjie before, and he was a ruthless person. If he expected him to repay Zhu Zhe, I'm afraid the sun would rise in the west.
Zhu Zhe also realized his brother's virtue, gritted his teeth and said, "Mom, it's not that I don't want to help him, I really don't have the ability to buy a house."
Zhu's mother then said: "Then can you lend the house out first and get married to your brother first?"
Zhu Zhe said in surprise: "If I give him my house, where will I live?"
Zhu's mother smiled and said, "You can't go out and rent a house first. I have made an agreement with your brother and he will pay the rent. Anyway, you will get married in the future and you will not lack a house to live in."
Zhu Zhe finally understood what her brother had planned. Although she had expected it, she was still very sad to hear her mother say this.
When she asked Yu Chuhui and He Minhong for help, she concealed her purchase of a house because she was afraid that her younger brother Zhu Mingjie would take over it.
Now it seems that her worries were right.
"Mom, stop talking. It's impossible for me to borrow the house. If you can, let Zhu Mingjie buy it himself." Zhu Zhe said hard: "Don't talk anymore!"
"Xiao Zhe." Mother Zhu said anxiously, "Didn't you love your brother the most before?"
Zhu Zhe said in a deep voice: "I just love my brother, and I don't want to spoil him into a waste. I won't trade my life for him. I will never be a devil to help my brother!"
Zhu's mother persuaded her eldest daughter for a while and found that Zhu Zhe's attitude was extremely firm, and she became a little angry in the end.
"Xiao Zhe, it was not easy for us to raise you, so why don't you agree even if we ask you to do such a small thing?"
Zhu Zhe was completely disappointed and said decisively: "You and my father have raised me for sixteen years, and I have been working to support the family since I was sixteen. You raised me and I raised a family of four. All debts have been paid off in sixteen years."
"
Zhu's mother was completely anxious when she heard this. Now that the eldest daughter in the family is the most promising, she was so anxious that she severed ties with the family. What should her son do in the future?
"Xiao Zhe, I didn't mean that. Don't be angry. As for the house, we will talk about it later." Mother Zhu said:
"Do you think this is good? You said your brother has no job. You should find him a job in Shanghai first!"
Zhu Zhe was so angry that he laughed and said: "Zhu Mingjie wants a job, why don't he go find it himself? Isn't he a college student?"
Zhu's mother explained: "You also know that the current environment outside is not good and it is hard to find jobs."
Zhu Zhe said: "I can help Zhu Mingjie find a job, but I'm afraid he won't want to do it."
Mother Zhu said: "You work in a big hotel and have a wide network of contacts. Let's find a more relaxed job for your brother. The salary doesn't have to be too high. Eighteen thousand is enough."
Zhu Zhe was completely amused by his mother's words!
"If you want to make a lot of money and have an easy job, why don't you let Zhu Mingjie take the civil service exam?" Zhu Zhe asked.
"He took the exam, but didn't he pass it?" Zhu's mother said awkwardly.
Zhu Zhe closed his eyes and said: "Mom, tell Zhu Mingjie that there is nothing for nothing in this world. If he wants to make money, he has to work hard. I can have the job I have now because of the toilet flushing!"
Before Zhu's mother said anything, Zhu Mingjie's voice rang from the phone.
"Zhu Zhe, what do you mean by pushing back and blocking!"
"So you are also next to mom!" Zhu Zhe sneered: "In that case, I will make it clear today.
First, don’t worry about my house. If you have the ability, buy a house in Shanghai by yourself.
Second, I can introduce you to a job delivering food, and you can earn seven to eight thousand a month. If you are willing to go, just go, if not, forget it.
Third, in the future, except for my parents’ living expenses, I will not give any more money to my family.”
Zhu's mother said anxiously: "Xiao Zhe, if Mingjie doesn't have a house or a job, his girlfriend will break up with him."
Zhu Zhe said indifferently: "If you want to break up, let's break up! It's okay not to want a daughter-in-law who only values material things. Zhu Mingjie is still young, so it doesn't matter if she delays getting married for a few years!"
"Zhu Zhe, I think you are rich and look down on your poor relatives at home." Zhu Mingjie said angrily.
Zhu Zhe directly retorted: "I'm not looking down on poor relatives, I'm looking down on you. You are a grown man, a college student, you have hands and feet, and you are still living at home. How can you get married and let your sister make a house for you?
Such truth!"
Zhu's mother was worried that Zhu Zhe's words would hurt her son's self-esteem, so she advised him: "Xiao Zhe, please stop talking, your brother is still young."
"Mom, he is already twenty-four, not young anymore. When I was twenty-four, I had already worked for eight years!" Zhu Zhe said bluntly:
"We are the ones who got him into what he is now. I have realized that, are you still going to continue to support him like this?"
Finally, Zhu Zhe hung up the phone angrily and burst into tears.
Wang Gang hugged Zhu Zhe and said softly: "You did the right thing. You were not wrong. It was your brother and your mother who were wrong!"
Zhu Zhe wiped away his tears and pretended to be strong: "I will not be a demon to help my younger brother, never."
Wang Gang chuckled and said: "Yes, you won't be a brother-in-law demon!"
Zhu Zhe is sober. Even if her family of origin abuses her thousands of times, she will never compromise and become a devil to support her younger brother.
What she didn't expect was that a few days later, she received many phone calls from fellow villagers, telling her not to be ungrateful after getting rich.
Zhu Zhe later found out that Zhu Mingjie had slandered her in her hometown, saying that she was making a fortune in Shanghai and enjoying a good life, but she was ungrateful and did not care about the lives of her family members.
Zhu Ting also called Zhu Zhe, and her attitude was quite good. She always asked her to pay her share of the money, and never mentioned the tuition and living expenses for college.
Zhu Zhe was completely disappointed with his younger siblings and decided to cut off contact with them.
