After bringing the gift, Ye Luo took a taxi and went straight to Caojiaqiao.
In a farmer's house in Caojiaqiao shanty town, there were five people sitting in a small living room. One of them was Su Quanmin, and four people were sitting across from him, three men and one woman.
There were three men, one middle-aged man in his forties, and two young men in their late twenties.
Su Quanmin held an orange in his hand. He didn't peel it open to eat, but just rubbed it back and forth, as if to relieve his nervousness and dissatisfaction.
"All the people, don't blame us for talking about you. You said that my sister was healthy when she was with you, but after she was with you, she developed various health problems. How did you take care of her?" said a middle-aged girl.
The young woman crossed her legs and looked at Su Quanmin domineeringly.
Su Quanmin didn't answer, he just lowered his head and continued to spin the oranges in his hand.
Seeing that Su Quanmin didn't speak, the woman seemed to be even more angry.
"You are in your forties. You work hard at the construction site every day and sell barbecues at night. You don't make much money all year round. How can you give my sister a good life like this? I will suffer as much as you do. As a man, you can do what you do.
For my sake, it’s really a failure!”
Su Quanmin's hand was so heavy that the orange in his hand was almost crushed to pieces.
"It's my fault that I failed to give Guixiang and Yiyi a good life." Su Quanmin spoke, his tone full of guilt and self-blame.
"Humph, what's the use of just talking? Look at your brother-in-law, he is also in his forties. He is already a corporate executive with an annual salary of nearly one million. He can give us whatever we want.
He can send his son to the best school and enjoy the best education, but as for you, Guixiang and Yiyi follow you and have to endure hardships. Do you have any chance of enjoying happiness? "
Su Quanmin's face was ashen and his fists were clenched. He was angry and helpless at the same time.
The woman's name is Fang Guifen, and she is the sister of Su Quanmin's wife Fang Guixiang.
Two sisters, brothers with different fates.
Fang Guifen's husband is more capable than Su Quanmin, and his family has some social connections, so now he is a senior executive of a company, and his income and social status are much higher than Su Quanmin's.
Because of this, Fang Guifen has always looked down on Su Quanmin's family. This is not the first time that Su Quanmin has been taught a lesson by this sister-in-law.
However, others spoke softly and it didn't matter if they didn't have money, so they didn't have the confidence to refute at all and could only listen to the lectures with their heads down.
"Okay, stop talking. Although my dad is not as rich as you, he doesn't starve us. We are poor, but we are very happy. You are rich, so just live your rich life. It's fine for us.
What's up?"
Su Yiyi, who was helping to cook in the kitchen, couldn't stand listening anymore, so she opened her mouth to retort on Su Quanmin's behalf.
Hearing Su Yiyi's words, the woman's originally proud face suddenly fell down. She turned to look at Su Yiyi and said: "Yiyi, why are you talking to me? I'm your aunt, and
Not polite anymore?"
"It's really not good to go to a rubbish school. You have no quality at all, and you don't even know the basics of respecting your elders." Fang Guifen snorted coldly, then turned to look at her son who was playing with his mobile phone: "Xiaojun, you can
You have to remember, you can’t be so unqualified in the future.”
"You..." Su Yiyi was very angry.
"What, did I say something wrong?" Fang Guifen snorted coldly: "Your dad just doesn't have the ability, why don't you let him talk about it? I am doing this for his own good, otherwise, I would be too lazy to waste my words and just work part-time.
Is it possible to make a living by selling barbecue? I don’t care if I suffer, but my wife and children are also affected. Isn’t such a man considered a failure? "
"We don't have much money, but my father is very good to us, and my mother and I are living a good life, so I don't need you to worry about it. Just take care of your own home." Su Yiyi said stubbornly.
.
"Hey, look at you kid, you don't know what's good or bad. Did I say something wrong? Being good to you is of no use. In today's society, if you don't have money, you can't do anything. If you want to live a good life,
Well, it depends on the money." Fang Guifen said disdainfully.
"Money, you are very rich, but we don't spend your money, so what qualifications do you have to say that to my dad? It's your business to have money, does it have anything to do with us? You keep saying that you are doing good for us, but my mother is in hospital
When I was about to have an operation, what did you say when I went to ask you to borrow money? You cried poverty in front of me at that time, but now you are showing off your wealth, are you interested?
If you don't lend us money, that's your freedom. I have no right to blame you, but now you come to my house to make sarcastic remarks and point fingers at my dad. Do you have the qualifications? My dad has no money and is not as capable as you.
, but I didn’t let my mother and I go hungry. Our family is living a good life and we don’t need you to comment on our quality!”
"You..." Fang Guifen didn't expect that Su Yiyi would dare to refute her like this, and she was a little embarrassed for a while.
"Ahem, Guixiang, I really didn't know that your physical condition was so serious at that time. We had all the money saved at that time, so it was inconvenient to withdraw it. If I really knew that you needed it so much, even if you lost money, I would definitely do it.
I will take it out." Fang Guifen looked at Fang Guixiang and said.
Fang Guixiang smiled and nodded without saying anything.
"Haha, my mother has been hospitalized for more than 20 days, and you haven't visited her even once. Of course you don't know how serious her condition is." Su Yiyi muttered to herself, her voice was quiet, but it was enough for Fang Guifen to hear.
"Hmph." Fang Guifen snorted coldly: "I didn't expect your dad to be so cowardly. He couldn't afford the operation fee of more than 200,000 yuan, and our company happened to be busy at that time."
Being poked in the spine by Su Yiyi, Fang Guifen suddenly lost her momentum and stopped going further on this topic.
"Okay, let's stop talking and serve the food quickly. Finish the meal early and arrange the things that need to be done. I have something to do at my company in the afternoon." Sitting aside, Fang Guifen's husband Xie Weiping knocked on the table with some dissatisfaction.
road.
"Ye Luo hasn't come yet. Let's eat together when he comes," Su Yiyi said.
Today's meal was mainly to thank Ye Luo. Naturally, we had to wait until Ye Luo arrived before eating. Who knew that Fang Guifen's family had arrived, acting like an uncle, and Su Yiyi felt very unhappy.
If it weren't for her parents' feelings, Su Yiyi would have kicked them out.
"Ye Luo? What's your background?" Xie Weiping was a little unhappy and asked him to wait for someone else. If this person didn't nod his background, he wouldn't want to.
"Oh, he is Yiyi's friend. He met me when we set up a stall at night. This time Guixiang fell ill, and he helped us a lot. Guixiang was able to undergo surgery, thanks to him." Su Quanmin said, regarding Ye Luo,
He is really grateful.
Ye Luo was not related to him, but when his wife was ill, Ye Luo helped him more than all his relatives and friends combined.
"A stall owner too?" Xie Weiping had a look of disdain on his face when he heard this.
Su Quanmin suddenly felt embarrassed and explained: "Ye Luo has his own job, but he just goes to set up a stall at night to make some extra money."
"Haha, I'm going to make extra money by setting up a stall. It doesn't seem like a good job." Xie Weiping sneered, already looking down on Ye Luo, whom he had never met before.
"Ye Luo is a good boy. He is coming soon. Why don't you eat some fruit first and wait a moment." Fang Guixiang also said something.
Su Quanmin was about to put a plate of oranges and bananas on the coffee table for everyone to eat, but as soon as he put it down, Fang Guifen spoke again.
"What's the point of eating this kind of domestic fruit? It's unpalatable and nutritious. We just happened to bring imported fruit today, super-grade Australian oranges." He said, putting a bag of oranges on the coffee table: "Everyone, hurry up and try it.
Try it, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat these imported oranges on weekdays. They can't be sold in wet markets, they can only be found in big shopping malls, and the prices are also very expensive."
Su Quanmin looked embarrassed: "I can just eat ordinary oranges."
"Since we haven't eaten yet, let's talk about Yi Yi's blind date." Fang Guifen said.
