At noon the next day, Xiang Jin came home from school, and then she saw her parents, and her aunt at home with tired faces. Except for her aunt's face, which looked slightly better, the rest of the family looked tired.
Everyone has a solemn and sad look on their faces.
"Xiaojin is back?" Everyone else was immersed in their own sorrows. Only her aunt noticed that she was back.
"Aunt?!" Xiang Jin nodded slightly, and then walked towards everyone. After hearing her aunt's greeting, her parents and grandparents raised their eyes and looked at her.
.
"Xiaojin, are you out of school?" Her mother wiped the corners of her eyes and called her.
"Well," Xiang Jin nodded slightly, "Have Yang Weiwei's affairs been settled?"
Her mother's eyes dropped again, and then she nodded, "Well, everything has been taken care of. The child is not welcome over there, and there is nothing to deal with."
When her mother said the last sentence, there was a hint of anger and hatred, but at the same time, tears flowed out of her mother's eyes.
Xiang Jin suddenly didn't know how to answer her words, because she was really bad at comforting people, and it was related to Yang Weiwei. Let's not talk about the past disputes between her and herself, just her
Man, she really can't think of anything to sympathize with, feel sorry for, or even pity for her!
Her kind of person and character seem to have destined her future ending. She is selfish and stupid, completely self-centered, regardless of the feelings of others, and has completely offended everyone around her.
, so that in the end she was reduced to the point where a cat hates a dog, and she was sent from one house to another like a football. The old couple of the Xiang family took over purely because of the money in Yang Juyun's hands.
hers.
She originally had a pair of kings in her hands. As long as she was kind-hearted and lived a peaceful life as a sick girl, no one would dislike her. With the love of the elders of two families, the future life may be much easier.
Comfortable and comfortable.
The blame is that she was too selfish, too greedy, too impure, vicious and ruthless, so in the end she turned a good hand of cards into a bad one!
Seeing her silence, her aunt misunderstood that she thought her parents and grandparents cared more about Yang Weiwei than she did, so she explained to her, "Xiaojin, don't misunderstand me, and don't be offended. In fact,
It has always been very important in the hearts of your parents, grandparents, and me and your brother. Our feelings for you are no less than the feelings of parents and relatives in other families towards their children, even if
You didn't grow up with us, and you have been vacant for more than ten years.
However, although some of Weiwei's previous behaviors were very wrong and very disappointing to us, after all, she has lived in our family for more than ten years and our family has watched her grow up. Because of her body,
Especially your parents, as well as your grandparents, who have devoted a lot of time and energy to her. It is absolutely impossible to say that you have no feelings for her.
At this moment, she suddenly disappeared like this, and she is still gone like this. Your parents, as well as your grandparents, are really very sad in their hearts. Our family has never treated her badly, and we almost try our best to treat her.
To satisfy her, it may be because she goes along with her and relies on her in everything, so she develops this selfish and extreme temperament.
But her temper has never broken out at home before, and we had no way of knowing what kind of temper she had. We didn't expect that once she broke out, it would be so terrifying."
Xiang Jin said, "Auntie, you misunderstood me. I'm not that small-minded. I didn't misunderstand, and I didn't take it seriously. I can understand that people are not grass and trees, and how can they be ruthless? To put it bluntly, I'm just a little kid."
Cats and puppies will develop feelings for each other after being raised for a long time, let alone humans.
Then Yang Weiwei has lived in your family for more than ten years. Without everyone knowing, she is the biological child of the family, so the relationship cannot be fake.
Even if her subsequent behavior is unpleasant and disappointing to you, she and I have returned to our respective places, but your previous feelings for her are not fake, and it does not mean that you can take them back all at once.
Just take it back, then your feelings for her are still deeper than those of outsiders.
Because of everything in the past, I really disliked and treated her, but now that she is gone, why should I care so much? It’s not wrong to care about a dead person, I’m not that downgraded!
Therefore, although I will not feel sympathy or regret for her passing, I will not stop you from being sad and sad for her, and I will not mind your thoughts and remembrances of her."
Her aunt gave her a smile of relief, and after hearing what she said, several other elders in the family also showed looks of satisfaction and relief in their eyes, and her grandfather stood up and spoke.
.
"Okay, let's all go over to eat. Although Weiwei's child left so early, it is indeed very regrettable and sad, but now that the matter has come to this point, there is no use in being sad, and there is no way she can go back to her hometown again.
Come alive.
Besides, our family has never treated her badly, and we have nothing to say sorry to her, so you two should not feel guilty. You will go back to the city after dinner, and then you should each
Just do whatever you want.
Please gather your energy, you will all go to work tomorrow, but you must not make any mistakes in principle, especially your boss and his wife.
One of you is a senior city official, and one of your decisions affects the livelihood of hundreds of millions of people in the city. The other of you is the vice president of a bank. If you are distracted, you can have millions and tens of millions of funds at your disposal.
The land has been allocated, but you must know that it is the property of the country and the people, and there is nothing to be careless about!"
Xiang Jin's parents nodded and said they understood, and then Xiang Jin's grandfather turned to look at Xiang Jin's grandma, "You too, go and heat up those cold meals, people.
The child will have to go back to the classroom to study after dinner, so don't be late."
"Oh, okay!" Xiang Jin and her grandmother responded.
After dinner, Xiang Jin still had some time to meet, so he pulled her aunt and asked, "Then why did Yang Weiwei quarrel with that Xiang Zhen specifically, aunt, do you know?"
Her aunt said, "Why? It is said that their grandparents lit a pot of fire under the eaves to get two pieces of firewood, but then the firewood was almost burned, so their grandparents ordered the two of them to go
Take out a few sticks from the firewood pile room.
The daughter of her uncle's family was tracing a pair of window grilles at that time. She said she wanted to cut some window grilles and stick them in the house to add some joy, but she didn't want to take them. She asked Weiwei to go get them, but Weiwei was not happy, and then the two of them started to take them.
There was a quarrel, and the two old men got angry and went into the house when they saw them like that.
In the end, the two people's quarrel turned into a scolding. Weiwei scolded her parents for being incompetent. They only opened one dumpling restaurant in the county town. It was a life-and-death struggle, and it could barely maintain the family's basic expenses.
It’s very hypocritical to say that someone’s parents look glamorous on the outside, but in fact they are trying to make a fool of themselves.
The girl was not to be outdone. Her mother was the only one who said she was arrogant, and her biological father was worse than her parents. Then the girl scolded her as an unpopular sick child.
She said that not only we don't want to see her, but her biological mother, grandparents, uncles and aunts don't want to see her, and her biological sister Xiang Lan doesn't want to see her either.
He also said that if she hadn't seen that she was still alive, her biological mother would not have given her grandparents more than 2,000 yuan a month. It was because her biological mother didn't want to see her that she put her
Dumped to her grandparents.
She was a nasty person who was disliked by others wherever she went. Then these words made Weiwei angry. Then she directly picked up the scissors on the small stool next to her and stabbed the girl.
Just like that, the two people were pulling and wrestling together, and then the scissors plunged into Weiwei's body."
Xiang Jin asked, "Didn't anyone from Lao Xiang's family come out to stop the two of them from quarreling and fighting?"
Xiang Jin's aunt curled her lips and said, "Only the old couple and two granddaughters of Lao Xiang's family are at home, and their two sons and daughter-in-law have not come back to celebrate the New Year.
It is said that because of this matter, the old couple usually dislike the two girls. If they want to quarrel, they can quarrel with them. If they want to fight, they are free to fight, and they don't bother to care."
Xiang Jin was speechless!
Her aunt then said, "What's funny is that Weiwei passed away, and neither of her biological parents were willing to take her body back to their own homes, and neither party was willing to bury her."
Go to the slopes and fields of your home.
Lao Xiang's family said that her death was considered a premature death, and it was not a normal death. She was not allowed to be buried in that ancestral grave, otherwise it would bring bad luck to their family members.
Her biological mother, Yang Juyun, said that Weiwei had always looked down on her and despised her as her biological mother. She was a womanizer and timid. She did not dare to put her body at home for fear of having nightmares at night!
Some people in the bay suggested that in this case, they should just take her to the city and have her cremated, and then find a place to bury her, but neither party could afford the cremation fee.
Yang Juyun said that her mother spent as much as three to four thousand a month on her for the past six months, while Xiang Hai's father did not contribute a penny for her.
It should be done by him.
But Xiang Hai said that she was killed by the boss's daughter, and they didn't ask the boss for any compensation, so they just asked the boss to pay for the funeral expenses.
However, the couple in the old family insisted that it was Weiwei who went crazy first and stabbed their daughter. Their daughter took the scissors purely for self-protection, but the two of them accidentally made a mistake during the fight.
Scratched Weiwei.
If it were an ordinary person, her wounds would be nothing, at most, they would be considered minor injuries. But who knew her body was so delicate that even a cut could not stop the bleeding, so this cannot be blamed on their daughter.
The only one to blame is Weiwei, who has a bad temper and is narrow-minded. Moreover, she knew that she was not in good health, yet she still wanted to provoke their daughter.
In the end, the old couple insisted that they had no money. They were in poor health every day and had no income. Their two sons and daughter-in-law were not filial. If the old couple got sick, they would have headaches and fever.
, they would either catch two chickens and ducks to sell, or they would sell the little grain they had in stock.
In the end, those people at the head of the bay couldn't stand it, so they all built a simple shed with plastic film and bamboo sticks on the beam between your bay and the neighboring Aijia Bay, and temporarily placed her body there.
There, everyone discussed whether they could pool some money together to buy a coffin to put her in, and then find a place to bury her.
As soon as the shed was built, your grandparents and two uncles and aunts came. After hearing those things from others, your grandparents immediately scolded Weiwei's own mother.
.
Then your two uncles rode their motorcycles directly to the coffin shop in the town and brought back a coffin.
At the same time, your two aunts went to the town with the help of your family who was doing massage in the bay to buy some clothes, shoes, socks and scented wax for her, and then they put Weiwei in the coffin.
Because both of them are unwilling to let Weiwei be buried in their own land or on the slope, other people in Baytou must also be unwilling.
In the end, it was the captain of your production team who suggested that she be buried at the collective forest farm behind your bay, saying that it was not a private slope but belonged to the collective.
These words were all told to us by your grandparents, your Aunt Liao and Grandma Mo later after they met us.
It was already past five o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived, and by that time Weiwei had already been buried in the forest farm.
We went there to pay homage to her and when we came down to the bay, it was almost dark. Then your Grandpa Zeng and Grandma Mo directly asked us to go to their house to rest for the night and then come back, and then we went."
Xiang Jin felt very chilled after hearing this, "You didn't even let her stay for any longer, so you just buried her hastily?"
Her aunt shook her head, "No, she went there at around two o'clock in the morning yesterday and was brought back after seven in the morning. It is said that your uncles and aunts brought the coffin and clothes back at around ten in the morning."
, and then the next step was to dress her and put her coffin in, and then with everyone’s help, she was carried to the mountain and buried, and it wasn’t even three o’clock in the afternoon before she was buried.”
After Xiang Jin heard this, he couldn't help but sigh. Because of Yang Juyun's cold heart, the old Xiang family wouldn't say anything. They were such selfish people in the first place.
But Yang Juyun is also Yang Weiwei's biological mother after all. Yang Weiwei is her biological child, and she is also Yang Weiwei's guardian. Yang Weiwei suddenly disappeared. If you have money, it's not like you don't have money, and you still have a lot of money.
Even if you don't want to put her body in your home, you should buy her a coffin and some clothes to put it in, right?
In the end, someone from her mother's family was asked to come forward to handle this matter. I have to say that this woman's heart is really as hard as iron! Her grandparents, uncles and aunts probably finally understood who she was this time.
What kind of person is she? And Xiang Lan, I don’t know if this will affect her soul?
Her aunt waved her hand in front of her, "What are you thinking about?"
Xiang Jin said, "No, I just have some feelings!"
Her aunt then sighed, "Yes, this is the first time we have seen such a hard-hearted and selfish person!"
"Okay, aunt, parents, grandparents, I'm going back to the classroom. If you go back later, please pay attention to safety on the road and drive slower!"
"Oh, okay!" Her parents responded, and then told them to call them if anything happened.
Xiang Jin nodded, then turned and walked out of the room.
Time passed like this day by day, and her aunt had resigned from her position in the unit and went to northern Xinjiang with Grandpa Zeng and Uncle Tao to inspect, and Xiang Jin also began to receive mails from Yan Chen one after another.
Various test questions came over.
Her daily schedule is packed with schedules. Not only does she have to face test questions from her school and teachers in her class, but she also has to do the test questions mailed by Yan Chen, and she also has to take various comprehensive tests.
Of course, I still have to have a phone call with Yan Chen occasionally to discuss some more complex topics.
In just half a month, even though her grandparents cooked her various nutritious meals every day, her body lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Her grandma often nags her grandfather behind her back, "Xiaojin's body must be bad, right? You see she has lost a lot of weight recently. Our family's daily food is not bad, right?"
Xiang Jin and her grandfather said, "What's the background? She has been studying hard recently, her brain is busy, and her body is exhausted quickly. Haven't you seen that she has brought some homework and test questions back from her self-study in the evening recently?
?
Besides, do you think any person with a good body still has a rosy face? Children never get out of breath when they get up every morning to run. Don’t think about things here and there every day. Children are very healthy.
, I guess it’s because the child has another knot on his body.”
"Oh, this child won't grow to be more than 1.7 meters tall, right? This girl's parents are too tall, and it will be difficult to find a partner in the future," her grandmother immediately became anxious again.
Xiang Jin and her grandfather suddenly felt dumbfounded, "You said that you, an old woman, really have nothing to do there every day, so you only worry about how old your child is, and you still have three months to go before you turn sixteen.
Besides, isn't this the time when her body is growing? Then you can't help her parents if she wants to grow, right? Besides, her parents are so tall, and her brother is also so tall, so it makes no sense for her to be a small person.
Bar?"
Xiang Jin and her grandmother said, "I think her current height is suitable, 1.68 meters. If she grows taller, she will be too tall. If she wears shoes with a slight heel, she won't be able to win many men."
The child dared to stand in front of her.
It’s impossible for my beautiful and capable granddaughter to find someone shorter than her, right? I think that when a boy and a girl stand together, the boy must be taller than the girl to be a good match. Otherwise, how can we look at each other?
It’s not coordinated at all, it’s annoying!
You see, our Xiaoxue was originally tall because many boys did not dare to stand in front of her. She had an inferiority complex. Later, she finally met someone who satisfied both us and herself in every aspect.
But the result didn't make her happy for long, and she's still single to this day."
Xiang Jin and his grandfather said, "It's too early for you to worry. Xiao Jin is only sixteen this year, so it will be at least eighty or ninety years before she gets married.
Besides, the children said that they will develop in first-tier cities in the future. By then, among the millions and tens of millions of people, won’t there be anyone worthy of our granddaughter?
Xiaoxue's environment at that time was very specific. The city was not big, and the urban population was not that big. After looking over and over, she only knew so many people, so the opportunities to choose were also much more limited. But Xiaojin and the others were different.
, times have changed for them, and there will be more opportunities to choose from in the future.”
Xiang Jin and her grandmother nodded, "That's true! But I still hope that she will grow to 1.7 meters, and not grow any taller! You see, she is much taller than me now! If she grows taller, I will
I have to raise my neck and talk to her."
Xiang Jin and her grandfather chuckled, "How tall are you? Isn't it normal for her to be taller than you?"
Xiang Jin's grandmother was not happy, "Hey, how tall am I? Am I short? I'm still 1.63 meters tall, okay?"
Xiang Jin's grandfather continued to joke, "Then you are also the shortest in the family. Look at Xiaoxue and Xiaojin's mother, they are both taller than you."
Xiang Jin's grandmother was obsessed, "Xiaoxue is a little over 1.65 meters tall, and Xiao Jin's mother is only a little bit taller than me, less than a centimeter. How much taller can they be than me?"
If I wear high heels, they will be very high, but I am older now and wearing high heels is not comfortable, okay?"
Xiang Jin and her grandfather kept smiling and nodded, "Yes, yes, we should wear flat shoes more now. This is good for the body."
Xiang Jin would naturally not know about the banter and quarrels between the two old men in private, because they still pay great attention to and maintain their image as elders in front of the juniors.
"Hey, why are you here?" Two days later, Xiang Jin came home for lunch and saw Ouyang Bo.
Ouyang Bo said, "I missed the food cooked by my grandparents, so I came here to have two meals."
The corner of Xiang Jin's mouth twitched, "Do you want to stay here?"
Ouyang Bo said, "Why, you're not welcome?"
Xiang Jin said, "No, welcome!"
Ouyang Bo smiled, "I'm going back to school in two days. I'm here to see you and say goodbye."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Then please be safe on the road!"
Ouyang Bo nodded, "Yes! I'm here, and there is something else I want to tell you, that is, I have sold you several boxes of hot pot base ingredients, and there are already two restaurants selling them.
The intention is to develop into opening a hotpot restaurant.
One of the owners is already contacting people to renovate the store, and I estimate that within a month I will have my first order for hot pot base ingredients."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay, you can go find Yan Chen then. He told you before that he would give you a good price. Alas, what price did you sell the hot pot base for this time?"
At this point, the smile on Ouyang Bo's face became brighter, and then he stretched out a hand towards her, "It's more than doubled! I made a net profit of more than 400 yuan after selling several boxes of hot pot base ingredients.
, this is the first money I have earned with my own efforts in my life, I am very happy, and I am confident in my future!"
Xiang Jin nodded, "Come on! But don't forget what dad mentioned to you before, you still have to focus on your studies!"
"I know!"
"What about those cigarettes and alcohol? Did you sell them?" Xiang Jin asked again.
Ouyang Bo nodded, "Sold, except for a few bottles of foreign wine, everything else was sold. It sold for a total of more than 4,300 yuan, plus the more than 400 yuan I earned from selling the hot pot base, and then I
I also added more than a thousand yuan, and I totaled
Leave it with your aunt for 6,000 yuan. If you contract the land at that time, I will use the 6,000 yuan to become a shareholder. I have already made an agreement with my aunt, and she said that she knows. At that time, it will not matter whether it is more or less.
, as long as I can get in!"
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay! I understand!"
Then Ouyang Bo said to Xiang Jin, "Xiao Jin, I don't have much money, so I can only spend so much. I may need you to help me advance the wages to the employees by then.
Do you think it’s okay for me to pay you back after you grow the melons and fruits and sell them?”
Xiang Jin said without thinking, "Yes! As long as you are honest and willing to work hard, I don't mind helping you! But if you are the kind of person who is lazy, idle, idle and ambitious, haha
, then forget it!”
Ouyang Bo said, "Don't worry, I will definitely work hard and work hard! My sister is already so powerful, how can my brother embarrass her?!
Besides, you have such a bad mouth, I don’t want to be despised by you in the future, or even have to live off your charity and dignity!”
Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, it's good to know. It seems that you know me quite well. Yes, I just don't like lazy people, and people who just sit around and wait to die.
We all have good feet and hands. We can endure hardships, endure hardships, and earn money. Why don't you fight on your own? Why do you want me to support you with money?
Besides, I earned my money very hard and tiredly, right? It wasn't blown by the strong wind, nor was it picked up directly from the sky, so why should I spend it on you in vain?
Again, whether you are a relative or an outsider, if you want to live with dignity and be respected by others, you have to work hard and create by yourself. Only what you obtain by yourself belongs to you!
You are my brother, but I am not afraid of offending you by saying these things to you, that is the fact."
Ouyang Bo nodded, "I know!"
Xiang Jin said, "If you fancy a project in the future, if you want to invest in it, but the funds cannot be turned over, and I also think that project is promising, I can lend you some money without charging you any money."
Interest, you only need to pay me the principal when the time comes!"
Ouyang Bo was immediately happy, "Okay, then I'll just say thank you here first?"
Xiang Jin said, "You're welcome. After all, you are my brother. I also hope that you will have a successful career and a good life in the future!"
Seeing that the two brothers and sisters were having a good chat, Xiang Jin and her grandparents were also laughing. Then their grandfather reminded them, "Okay, you guys should wash your hands and get ready to eat."
