After everyone had eaten, Chunfeng had to go and get busy. Over there, Li Yang took Hu Lan to buy some gifts. Zhao Wanru was going to school and asked for leave for Hu Lan.
"Where did you arrange for your mother to live?" Li Yang asked while in the car.
“There are resettlement houses built by the government over there,” Hu Lan said.
"It's not as good as ours there. Why didn't we arrange for her to live in the community where we live nearby?" Li Yang said.
"My mother doesn't want to come over here. She says she lives over there, and all the folks and neighbors are there. Usually if I'm not at home here, she doesn't have anyone to talk to, so she won't come over. Occasionally, I go over to see her."
Hu Lan explained.
"Well, if she needs anything, just ask her to speak up. It's difficult for her, but it's just a matter of words for us, so don't be too polite." Li Yang warned.
"I know, Sister Wanru arranged it very well. She even specially selected some furniture for me and sent it there. I went to see it. The house was built by our Daqingshan people. The quality is very good in every aspect. I
I'm quite relieved." Hu Lan nodded and smiled.
Soon the car arrived at the resettlement house in the suburbs. It was not too far away and took more than 20 minutes to drive.
When he was approaching the community, Li Yang asked Xiaoliu to remove the people who were behind to protect him, but a car entered the community.
Looking at the community in front of him, Li Yang nodded secretly. The quality of the houses was indeed good. Because of the suburban location, the greening and scenery were also quite good. It was quite suitable for retirement.
After getting off the bus, as expected, some people in the community recognized Hu Lan and said hello one after another.
Hu Lan also gave some snacks she bought in advance to some children she saw. People who lived in the same community were mostly from the same village and they all knew each other.
"Hu Lan, you have a relative at home." said an old lady.
"What relatives?" Hu Lan was stunned. She called her mother in the morning, but she didn't say anything about her relatives.
"It seems to be your aunt, second aunt." the old lady said.
"Why are they here?" Hu Lan's face turned dark with anger. As she spoke, she pulled Li Yang's arm and wanted to go upstairs quickly.
"What's wrong?" Li Yang asked concerned.
"My eldest aunt and second aunt were very bad. They lent money from my family and bullied my father who was sick and had no man to support him. They refused to pay back the money. My mother even knelt down in front of them at that time, but they still refused to pay back. I
In the end, Dad had no money for medical treatment, so he was forced to die." Hu Lan said angrily, with some tears in his eyes.
Li Yang comforted her, saying that there had been too much trouble because of money matters, but fortunately everyone was living better now.
Soon they arrived at the door of the floor where Hu's mother was located, and Hu Lan hurriedly knocked on the door.
Hu's mother opened the door over there, and Hu Lan rushed in, faced the two women sitting in the room, opened her mouth and drove them away.
"You should leave quickly, you are not welcome here." Hu Lan said in a deep voice.
"Lan'er, Auntie did something wrong in the past. No, Auntie also knows that she made a mistake and returned the money to you specially." A woman in her fifties said awkwardly.
"And mine. I brought all the money and the interest." Another woman of about the same age said, probably Hu Lan's second aunt.
"Just keep the principal of 30,000 yuan, but you don't need the interest. You can leave quickly." Hu Lan still didn't let up and still wanted to drive them away.
Mother Hu was in a bit of a dilemma. She had her daughter on one side and her sisters on the other. After so many years, she had some resentment, but after all, she was also a sister of the same mother.
Li Yang walked in and saw four people sitting across from him, two old people and two children. They should be Hu Lan's aunt and second aunt's family. The two children were about the same age as Hu Lan, in their twenties.
All are boys.
"Lan'er, no matter how many mistakes I made in the past, we women were not in charge of the family back then. It was your uncle who was in charge of the money. Now he has passed away. I wanted to meet your mother a few years ago. After all, we are here now.
How many more years can I live? I regret leaving a sister outside without being able to see her." Aunt Hu Lan said emotionally.
"Yeah, maybe it's retribution. Your eldest uncle and your second uncle drove a big truck together. There was a car accident a few years ago, and the two of them passed away like this." Second Aunt Hu Lan lowered her head and started crying as she spoke.
.
Hu Lan's expression on the other side became obviously a little more relaxed, she bit her teeth and lips, and did not say anything about driving him away. After all, she was still gentle in her heart.
"Hu Lan, your aunt and second aunt also know that they are wrong. I think we can forget about this matter. After all, your father has been dead for so many years." Mother Hu sighed softly.
"Quickly, on behalf of your father, kowtow to your uncle." Aunt Hu Lan pointed to a tablet placed in the room and told the children around her.
"Yes, yes, kowtow to your uncle." Second Aunt Hu Lan also agreed.
The two men on the side were a little reluctant, but they still knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the memorial tablet a few times in a perfunctory manner.
"Okay, okay, it's been so many years, let's forget about the past." Mother Hu hurriedly stepped forward to help her two nephews.
Then the three sisters just held their heads and cried loudly. However, the two men who had just finished kowtow were playing with their mobile phones and kept silent.
"Brother Li, if you have anything to do, go ahead and do your work first. I'll go home by myself in the afternoon." Hu Lan whispered.
"It's okay, treat them to a meal." Li Yang said.
"Oh, wouldn't that be too much trouble?" Hu Lan whispered. To be honest, even if her mother forgives her, she has no feelings for these two aunts at all.
"No delay." Li Yang shook his head, and then sent a message to Xiaoliu asking him to arrange the hotel.
After a while, when it was almost time, Li Yang took them to the hotel. Hu Lan's aunt and second aunt seemed to be not poor at home, and they even drove here.
Then the group went to a five-star hotel in the New District. In order to keep a low profile, no one was arranged to say hello. They followed the waiter directly into a private room.
After eating for a while, and seeing that the party was about to end, Hu Lan's aunt and second aunt looked at each other and hurriedly put down their chopsticks.
"Little sister, Hu Lan's boyfriend looks really like Mr. Li from Daqingshan on TV. He should be Mr. Li, right?" Aunt Hu Lan looked at Li Yang as she spoke.
"Perhaps I saw it wrong." Mother Hu smiled awkwardly. She was not completely ignorant. Naturally, she didn't want to cause any more trouble to her daughter, not to mention her daughter's identity was quite embarrassing.
"It really looks like him. He must be Mr. Li from Daqingshan." Second Aunt Hu Lan also nodded repeatedly.
"What on earth do you mean?" Hu Lan frowned. From the moment he saw the two of them, he felt that their purpose was impure. They would not pay back the money early and they would not pay back the money later. They just missed the opportunity to pay back the money this year.
Seeing as they don't look like people who are short of money at home, why would they go there just to have a good relationship with their mother?
"Lan'er, judging from what you said, we can be considered your natal family, so naturally we do it for your own good and care about you." Aunt Hu Lan smiled awkwardly.
"That's right, that's right, your mother is your only daughter. We, as aunts, treat you as our own daughter." Second Aunt Hu Lan also nodded repeatedly.
Then the two looked at each other.
"Your two cousins will be in Qingshan City from now on, and you will take care of each other from now on." Aunt Hu Lan said.
"Hu Lan's boyfriend, you are in Qingshan City, can you help introduce a job to Hu Lan's two cousins? It doesn't have to be too good, just a small leader of the company or a civil servant in the government. There should be some potential for advancement. After all, we two
These two children are quite motivated." Second Aunt Hu Lan also hurriedly agreed.
"You really dare to say that, you have paid back 30,000 yuan, which is our family's money. Just relying on these 30,000 yuan, I will introduce you to a job, whether it is a company leader, a civil servant, or someone with potential, how can you just
He opened his mouth with excitement." Hu Lan's face turned ugly with anger.
Mother Hu also looked ugly.
"You can't say that. We are still relatives. Your cousin will definitely help you when he gets better in life." Aunt Hu Lan said hurriedly.
"If you think 30,000 yuan is too low, I'll add another 5,000 yuan. It's not easy for us to save some money. Lan'er, don't be too open-minded." Second Aunt Hu Lan said hurriedly from the side.
The two women were talking to each other, as if it was reasonable and reasonable for Li Yang to introduce their son to a job. They didn't feel there was anything wrong. It was more like their son having a good job would be good for Hu Lan.
"What abilities do they have?" Li Yang suddenly asked.
At this moment, the two young men in their twenties were playing with their mobile phones and seemed not to hear what was said.
It was Hu Lan's aunt and second aunt who snatched their mobile phones and raised their heads somewhat unhappily.
"Didn't you say that all leaders are equipped with secretaries? If you have something to do, just ask the secretary to do it. What kind of ability is required?" the eldest cousin said.
"It's best to find a secretary who can play games and is pretty." The second cousin also agreed.
Li Yang chuckled and asked one more question, just to let Hu's mother know what kind of people her two nephews were.
Hu Lan's aunt and second aunt also smiled together, and then looked at Li Yang cautiously.
"Boyfriend Hu Lan, my two sons are kind-hearted and down-to-earth. They may not be able to help you a lot, but they will never cause you trouble." Aunt Hu Lan and her second aunt hurriedly talked about their children's advantages.
"Eldest sister, second sister, forget about the job introduction. Hu Lan is still in school and doesn't need any help. She...her boyfriend has many things to do, and she can't take care of so many things." Hu's mother also felt that she was two people.
My sister was a little aggressive and finally spoke first.
"Little sister, how can you be so ruthless? We just raised our hands. We are definitely not admitting our mistake. Hu Lan's boyfriend is Mr. Li from Daqingshan. He is a man who is walking around in Xichuan Province. His subordinates
There are so many companies, and finding a job is just a matter of words." Aunt Hu Lan complained a little, and pointed it out directly. It seemed that she came here early in the morning for Li Yang.
"Yes, yes, we are biological sisters after all. What's the problem in helping you two nephews? My daughter hasn't been married yet, so you are just protecting her like this. If you don't get some benefits now, you will suffer big losses in the future."
Second Aunt Hu Lan also hurriedly agreed.
"It's good, but I won't make it easier for you. Okay, I've eaten. You can leave quickly. We won't have relatives like you in our family from now on." Hu Lan really couldn't stand listening and stood up with a sullen face.
road.
Mother Hu sighed and said nothing at this time.
The air at the scene was stagnant.
"I'm really vindictive. I owe you tens of thousands of dollars. Huh, now that I've climbed a high branch, I'm so arrogant. Why am I so arrogant?" Aunt Hu Lan looked ugly and said angrily with her hands on her hips.
"Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, little sister, just because your daughter is young now does not mean she will still be young in the future. If she was really capable, she would let you live in this resettlement house." Second Aunt Hu Lan also said angrily.
Then the two of them shouted to their son to get up, shouting, "You are a white-eyed wolf, you are not a good thing. If you don't give birth to a beautiful daughter, you may not know how to live in the future."
"I told you a long time ago that I won't let you come, and I've wasted 30,000 yuan in vain. A country woman climbs a high tree just to warm the bed of a rich man. She's qualified to be teased. She really has the ability to help me introduce a job, hum.
, Our family is not short of money, so we might as well not work." The eldest cousin muttered, looking impatient.
"That's right, why are you here? Leave as soon as possible. Don't contact her family anymore. Maybe in a few years, she will be kicked out and she will be worse off than us." The second cousin also said.
The two families spoke more harshly than the other. Mother Hu was trembling with anger, and her original family relationship became even more cold and unbearable, and her heart ached with pain.
"Get out, get out quickly, even if I'm a poor beggar, I won't show up in front of you." Hu Lan walked over and opened the box door, just to drive them away.
Aunt Hu Lan and the second aunt over there were both dissatisfied. Seeing that Hu Lan dared to stick to her, they started pushing her. The two cousins even wanted to push Hu Lan away impatiently.
Hu Lan was so petite that she could not survive these people and was almost pushed over.
Li Yang stood up and hugged Hu Lan, and nodded to Xiao Liu who rushed over after hearing the sound outside the door. The latter walked in directly with three people, raised his leg and kicked Hu Lan's two cousins down.
On the ground, Hu Lan's aunt and second aunt over there also had their hands tied behind their backs and were forced to squat on the ground.
"You are bullying people. The people in Daqingshan are bullying the common people." Aunt Hu Lan yelled loudly.
"Come and see, my niece is working as a mistress, and she is bullying our orphans and widowed mothers together with the men." Second Aunt Hu Lan even opened her voice and howled louder.
The voices of these two women are really quite loud.
Hu Lan didn't expect them to be so noisy, and her expression changed.
"You... I'll give you your money back. Just treat us as if we've never seen you before. Please stop shouting." Mother Hu felt sorry for her daughter. If she continued to make such a fuss, how could her daughter stay in front of Li Yang?
, just hurriedly walked over and looked at the two sisters almost pleadingly.
"The money must be returned to us, and the job must be introduced, otherwise this matter will not be finished." Aunt Hu Lan raised her head and sneered.
"That's right, that's right, why don't you hurry up and let us go and apologize to us? In addition, the work matters must be resolved today." Second Aunt Hu Lan also said loudly.
"I...what evil have I done? Why don't you let us mother and daughter go?" Mother Hu cried sadly, her whole body shaking with anger.
"Mom." Hu Lan hurriedly walked over and held her mother's arm, crying too.
