Facing Zhu Mingjie's question, Zhu Zhe just responded with a sneer and didn't even bother to pay attention to him.
?"Mom, if you come to the Magic City to see me, I'm very happy, but if it's anything else, I can't do anything."
?Zhu Zhe has clearly seen the white-eyed wolves in his family and does not want to deal with them.
?If she hadn’t had the obligation to support the elderly as a daughter, she would have completely cut off contact with her family.
Zhu's mother's eyes turned red, she held Zhu Zhe's hand and cried: "Xiao Zhe, I know I have wronged you over the years, but your brother is really in trouble now!
?His girlfriend dislikes him for not having a house or a job, and is making trouble to break up with him. If you don't help him, who else can help him!"
?Zhu Zhe frowned deeply and said seriously: "You are not the one who got him to where he is now. When I was sixteen you didn't let me go to school and asked me to work to support the family. Why didn't you force him?
?”
Zhu's mother's expression paused, and then she said: "Your father and I have realized our mistake, so we brought our little brother to the Magic City. We want you as a sister to teach your brother more."
?Zhu Zhe spread his hands and said: "He himself is unwilling to endure hardship, and there is nothing I can do about it."
?Zhu Mingjie couldn't help it anymore, pointed at Zhu Zhe and said: "You asked me to deliver takeaways, are you doing it for me? Is that kind of job a college student like me?"
?Zhu Zhe smiled coldly and said to Zhu's mother: "Mom, you have seen it too. With his attitude, he still wants me to help him. Why? Do you really think that everyone in the world should pamper him?"
Zhu's mother looked a little ugly and scolded Zhu Mingjie: "Brother, what is your attitude towards your eldest sister? Why don't you apologize quickly?"
?Zhu Mingjie also knew that he was asking for help now, so he got off the donkey along the slope and reluctantly said: "I'm sorry, eldest sister."
?Zhu Zhe looked better and said to Zhu's mother: "Mom, you want me to help Zhu Mingjie find a job, but he must listen to my arrangements. If he doesn't want to, he can go back to his hometown!"
?Zhu Mingjie wanted to speak again, but his mother quickly stopped him.
"Xiao Zhe, can you arrange a decent job for your little brother? He wants to win back his girlfriend."
"I have met her girlfriend. The mother and daughter are very snobbish and not a good match. I think it's okay to break up. Zhu Mingjie is still young. As long as he works hard and makes progress, he is afraid that he will not find a good woman in the future." Zhu Zhe said seriously.
:
"My attitude is very clear. There is no free meal in this world. If he wants to get ahead, he must work hard. I don't get something for nothing here."
? Mother Zhu looked at her younger son in embarrassment, lowered her head and thought for a while, then said to Zhu Zhe: "There is no hurry about work. When will the future son-in-law come back? I want to talk to him about your marriage.
?You both live together, so it makes no sense not to get married."
?How could Zhu Zhe not know what his mother had planned? She wanted to use marriage to blackmail Wang Gang, and even threatened him to arrange a job for Zhu Mingjie. It was because of this that she delayed agreeing to Wang Gang's proposal.
?"He has been busy in the store recently and will come back very late. Besides, we have no plans to get married." Zhu Zhe said.
?"How can we not get married? You are living together as unmarried people. What if you get pregnant? Our family is not a joke to the people in the village."
?Zhu Zhe said nonchalantly: "I don't care what others think. As for children, I don't plan to have them at all."
"Ah!" Zhu's mother said in shock: "What do you mean by this? How can a woman not give birth to a child?"
?Zhu Mingjie also looked at Zhu Zhe in surprise.
?Zhu Zhe said sadly: "I have suffered too much in my life. I don't want to have a child and suffer in the world. It's fine just like this."
Zhu's mother said anxiously: "If you don't have children, what's the use of making so much money! As the old saying goes, more children mean more blessings. If you have the financial conditions, you should have more."
Doesn’t the country also encourage the birth of two or three children? Raise children to prepare for old age. If you don’t have a son, what will you do when you get old?”
?Zhu Zhe glanced at Zhu Mingjie disdainfully and asked: "What's the use of having so many children? Force your daughter to take care of your son when you get old?"
? Mother Zhu was so ashamed by her daughter's words that she also realized that her patriarchal thoughts had caused irreparable harm to her eldest daughter.
?In fact, since the youngest daughter got married, she has also stopped contacting her family, and she has not even returned home after the wedding.
Zhu's mother was also anxious. If Zhu Zhe no longer ignored his brother, what would her son do in the future?
?At this time, the door opened, and Wang Gang walked into the house with a bag, attracting everyone's attention.
"Hey, there's someone at home." Wang Gang took off his shoes and entered the house. Then he saw Zhu Mingjie and Zhu's mother, and his face immediately sank.
"Why did you come back so early today?" Zhu Zhe really didn't want Wang Gang to face Zhu's mother.
"This is Xiaozhe's boyfriend!" Zhu's mother stood up happily and said to Wang Gang, "I am Xiaozhe's mother."
?Although Wang Gang has never met Zhu Mu, he guessed her identity.
"Auntie is coming to Shanghai! Why didn't you tell us in advance and ask me to pick you up at the station?" Wang Gang put down his bag and walked to Zhu Zhe.
?"My mother and brother will leave soon." Zhu Zhe said quickly.
"You're leaving so soon, why don't you spend two days in Magic City?" Wang Gang said politely.
?Zhu Zhe glared at Zhu's mother fiercely, the meaning in his eyes was very clear, he didn't want her to talk nonsense.
?It’s a pity that Zhu Mu turned a blind eye.
"We are here this time to talk about your marriage to Xiaozhe." Zhu's mother said hurriedly: "Many people in the village heard that you are living together and gossiped a lot."
?Zhu Zhe was furious, so Wang Gang asked her to sit down first.
"I listen to Sister Zhu when it comes to marriage. I will cooperate at any time when she says we should get married." Wang Gang said with a smile.
? Zhu’s mother said unwillingly: “Xiaozhe’s father and I are both face-saving people. What’s wrong with my daughter following you so unclearly?”
?Wang Gang sneered: "What do you mean, uncle and aunt?"
? Mother Zhu said: "Why don't you make an appointment first, and I can go back and explain to the neighbors that according to the rules of our hometown, we must follow the rules before getting engaged."
"Oh! What's the rule?" Wang Gang pretended to be surprised.
? Mother Zhu said without blushing: "Our daughter over there needs to be given a betrothal gift when she gets married."
?Zhu Zhe became anxious and said, "Mom, stop talking, I won't get married for the time being."
?Wang Gang grabbed the excited Zhu Zhe, asked her to calm down, and said to Zhu's mother: "Auntie, please think about how much this bride price should be."
?Zhu Mu and Zhu Mingjie did not expect Wang Gang to be so successful, and they immediately beamed with joy.
"I think half a million is about the same." Zhu Mingjie said first.
?Zhu Zhe cursed loudly: "Zhu Mingjie, why don't you go and grab it? The gift is 500,000 yuan, and you have the nerve to say this!"
?Zhu Mingjie said indifferently: "My girlfriend's wedding gift is 300,000 yuan. You have a better job than her and a higher income than her. 500,000 yuan is not much!"
Zhu Zhe said angrily: "Mom, do you want to sell your daughter?"
Zhu's mother wondered: "Xiao Zhe, without this gift money, your brother really can't get married."
Zhu Zhe was completely disappointed with his family and shouted directly: "Even if I never get married, I will not let Xiaogang pay this money."
"Sister Zhu, don't be angry. I think a gift of five hundred thousand is not bad." Wang Gang comforted Zhu Zhe with a smile.
Zhu's mother was overjoyed and said to Wang Gang: "My future son-in-law is a sensible man. The higher the betrothal gift, the more glorious the marriage will be."
Zhu Zhe became anxious and said to Wang Gang: "Xiao Gang, they just want to extort money from you."
Wang Gang shook his head and said: "It's not a loss to spend half a million to marry such a good wife like you."
Mother Zhu said cheerfully: "Yes, yes, Xiaozhe has a high income. He can earn back half a million yuan in a few years."
Wang Gang smiled coldly and said: "I have no problem with the five hundred thousand gift, but I have a condition."
"What conditions do you have?" Mother Zhu's face changed instantly and her smile faded.
Wang Gang smiled and said: "The five hundred thousand gift is the money to buy out Sister Zhu. After she gets married, she will have nothing to do with the family. She will not be responsible for your life, death and burial in the future. As for her younger brothers and sisters, she has no relationship at all.
"
"Ah!" Zhu's mother was immediately embarrassed.
But Zhu Mingjie didn't care and said: "No problem, as long as you spend 500,000, she will have nothing to do with my Zhu family."
"Mingjie, what are you talking about?" Zhu's mother said anxiously: "Our Zhu family is marrying off our daughters, not selling them."
"Mom, with half a million, I can not only get married, but also buy a wedding house." Zhu Mingjie shouted to Zhu's mother, "Don't you always want to have a grandson?"
When Mother Zhu heard about her grandson, she hesitated again.
At first, Zhu Zhe was a little comforted by Zhu's mother's words, but now his heart is completely dead.
"If you decide, just write it down as evidence. I will pay you when it is finished." Wang Gang hugged Zhu Zhe and leaned on the sofa, looking at the Zhu family mother and son coldly.
Mother Zhu looked at her daughter reluctantly, then at her son, hesitated for a long time, and finally said:
"Okay! I can write the receipt, but 500,000 is not enough, I need 800,000!"
