The whole family looked at Shi Qiang, who was silent and pouring cups of tea into his mouth, looking at each other.
Shi Qiang's two brothers were even frightened by such an action. They lowered their heads to avoid it, and even raised their feet to escape from here.
His father was also shocked, but when he came to his senses, he was angry.
Seeing Shi Qiang drinking tea, he snatched his teacup and slammed it on the table, "Are you going to kill me, right? Has the workshop agreed?"
Shi Qiang's right hand froze in the air, his eyes fixed on his father, with a hint of disappointment in his heart.
When the two brothers saw their father taking action, they immediately started beating drums nearby.
"Third brother, what's going on? You should also tell everyone!"
"Yes, third brother, you didn't say a word when you came back, and you were almost anxious to death. Whether it's life or death, you should be sure of it!"
Shi Qiang ignored them and asked his father directly: "Dad, do you have to force me to death to feel at ease?"
The old man was so frightened by his sharp eyes that he took a step back and almost fell down.
"You, you..." The old man's finger pointed at Shi Qiang was trembling, but he did not dare to curse out for the first time.
In everyone's impression, Lao San always had a very kind face to everyone he met. Even if someone verbally offended him, he would just smile lightly.
At home, the third child behaves better. He is a scholar, and he will be asked if there is anything he does not understand at home. Shi Qiang responded with a smile every time and solved them one by one.
Over time, family members would start to use their words to instruct Shi Qiang on some ordinary things. For example, cleaning the table with dishes is something that everyone can do.
Whenever Shi Qiang was at home, he would loudly ask him to do things.
And Shi Qiang didn't complain. He thought that the whole family had reduced their clothes and diet to support him in his studies, and now it was nothing to be tired. Besides, he is not at home every day. He is still in the workshop most of the time, so doing this is not a trouble.
But later, Shi Qiang's mind gradually changed, especially this incident, which made him see clearly his family's attitude towards him.
Shi Qiang shook his head, feeling disgusted in his heart, "Dad, it doesn't matter what you ask me to do. I know you are vain in your hearts, and asking me, a Jinshi, can make you feel very proud. In the words of Mr., this It’s spiritual satisfaction.”
"But this time you went too far. You forced me to leave the workshop with my skills at the risk of death. Do you know what this is called? This is treachery and deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors!"
Shi Qiang spoke louder and louder, and finally stood up clearly and excitedly, tremblingly pointing his fingers to the sky and the ground.
"If word spreads, my family history will be ruined. I won't be able to hold my head up for ten lifetimes, and will be stabbed in the spine!"
"You! Don't scare me. Is it so serious?" The old man was so frightened that he even stammered when he spoke.
"Serious?" Shi Qiang laughed miserably, "Dad! Go and find out, it will only be more serious than this!"
Shi Qiang realized now that he had always cherished family ties. But he didn't expect that his relatives would catch this and ask him to do something in turn.
It was nothing more than some trivial matters, and Shi Qiang wouldn't care about them.
But this time the matter was so big that his own father even threatened him with death!
This made Shi Qiang feel very sad.
Acceptance made him extremely disappointed in his family.
"Don't scare me with this!" After his father was startled, not only did he not wake up, but he shouted even harder: "Is the workshop not agreeing? Okay! Then I will die in front of the workshop and watch them. Don’t you agree yet?”
With that said, the old man rushed towards the door.
"Dad, no!"
"father......"
When the others saw it, they immediately got into chaos and grabbed the old man with all their might, not daring to let him actually go to the door of the machinery workshop to cause trouble.
"That's enough!" Shi Qiang had no choice but to speak even though he knew that speaking would make his father succeed.
He is now extremely disappointed with his family, but it is the machinery workshop that makes him feel the warmth he has not seen for a long time. The mechanical workshop is extremely important to him now, and he is unwilling to let the mechanical workshop get into trouble no matter what.
Shi Qiang was so angry that he was shaking all over. He slowly turned around and looked at his father who had already taken one step across the threshold.
He said every word: "No need to go, the workshop has already agreed..."
"Agreed?" A smile quickly spread across the old man's grooved face, "I agreed and you still look like this, do you want to tease me?"
Others were overjoyed after hearing it.
The two brothers even left their father's hand and trotted all the way to Shi Qiang, rubbing their hands together in excitement.
"The third child..."
"Third brother, are you telling the truth?"
Shi Qiang didn't want to pay attention to them, sat back, took the tea cup and poured it for himself again.
The old man took a few steps forward, held down Shi Qiang's hand, and said dissatisfiedly: "The machine shop knows what's going on, otherwise I won't get around them easily."
"Just agree. What do you mean by acting like a dull gourd?"
Shi Qiang also knew that continuing to sulk would only make him angry.
He simply let go of the teacup and muttered unhappily, "Dad, don't be too happy too early. So what if the machinery workshop agrees? It's not easy to build a workshop. We don't have that much money!"
"Why not?" The old man didn't believe it at all and shouted loudly: "You have a monthly salary of thirty-five guan in the machinery workshop. After so many years, how come you have more than a thousand guan?"
Shi Qiang was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He burst out in an instant and asked in turn: "I have a monthly salary of thirty-five dollars, but this big family eats, drinks, and has sex. Which of the things does not cost money? Which of the things does not come from my expense? Besides, Well, I didn’t have a monthly salary of thirty-five dollars from the beginning, this is only in the last year.”
"How can I get more than a thousand strings? No!"
Shi Qiang waved his hand decisively.
Dad was so blocked by Shi Qiang that he couldn't find a reason to refute. The food and clothing for the whole family did cost a lot, and Shi Qiang was responsible for all of it.
"It's just about eating. It's only been a few years and you've spent so much money?"
Shi Qiang's father actually doubted him, and he was so angry that he didn't even let it out. He responded loudly, "Dad? Is this just for dinner? Look at you. The linen clothes you wore before, what are you wearing now? A satin robe!"
"Is the price of this linen comparable to that of silk?"
The old man felt guilty for a while after being told that. He pulled at the collar of his robe with both hands, feeling guilty.
"So, how much money do you have now?"
Shi Qiang looked at his father angrily
He glanced at it and said angrily: "Only five hundred guan, not even a penny more!"
