After eating, Hu Ying cleaned up the dishes and Qingqing went to help.
Mrs. Zheng happily lay on the sofa to rest.
Zheng Jiashan finally found an opportunity, made a cup of tea, and said: "Ba Jin, go out and drink, don't disturb your grandma's rest!"
Zheng Bajin understood, picked up a small stool, went out with Zheng Jiashan, sat at the door and drank tea.
He didn't speak, knowing what Zheng Jiashan wanted to say.
"Bajin, if you can figure it out and change your ways, my uncle will be really happy." Zheng Jiashan spoke first.
"As long as you don't gamble anymore, you can drink some wine and don't get drunk."
Zheng Bajin nodded. He didn't dare to say that he would give up drinking completely. In the future, he would enter the business world, and sometimes he would have to socialize. If he said anything too absolute, he would be laughed at.
"That's good, but what are your plans for the money you owe Brother Wen?" Zheng Jiashan felt happy when he saw Zheng Bajin nodding.
"It's okay, I will have a solution when the time comes." Zheng Bajin said calmly.
"Oh, I said, why are you so stupid to get high interest rates? Where are you going to find a solution? It's here in the blink of an eye in three days. Do you really think it's a leaf?"
"Don't worry, I really have a solution."
"Stop lying to my uncle. You are still young. Unlike your brother, who is already half a lifetime old. As long as you promise me not to touch him again, I will find a way to help you pay back the money. At worst, you will have to pay for it in the future. ." Zheng Jiashan sighed, "Your father's branch is up to you."
Zheng Bajin was a little moved when he heard this. He couldn't believe that someone like him, a bad gambler, would lend him money.
It seems that the uncle is really good to me?
"Don't worry, you really don't need to borrow it, I will find a way." Zheng Bajin said with a smile.
Zheng Jiashan looked at Zheng Bajin in disbelief. This was inconsistent with his guess. Originally, he thought that Zheng Bajin's sudden change must be because he wanted to borrow money from him. I still thought that as long as he could truly repent, I would finally help him.
Unexpectedly, he would flatly refuse...
Hu Ying washed the dishes and went back to feed the pigs.
Zheng Jiashan looked at her and said: "Brothers and sisters, please continue to come here to cook and eat in the evening. Our family has not been so lively for a long time, so we just treat it as a pleasure for our mother."
Hu Ying was stunned, but before she agreed, Zheng Bajin agreed first and said with a smile: "Then you're welcome." What she was thinking was that it would be best to sleep here at night.
The home is so cramped that there is not even room for a decent bed, and there is no one.
It seems that we need to find a way as soon as possible to make some money and build a house.
Forget it, let’s solve the problem of eating first!
Qingqing walked out, and while listening to Zheng Bajin's words, she couldn't help but frown, and said softly: "Are you really so rude and don't treat yourself as an outsider?"
Zheng Bajin was stunned for a moment and said, "Believe me, I will definitely support this family and won't let you down!"
Qingqing nodded and said: "Of course I believe you. Okay, now my mother and I are going to feed the pigs. Do you think we are going to find my father?"
Zheng Bajin's expression froze. It wasn't that he didn't want to be filial to his father, but that if he couldn't support the mud on the wall, he would have to suffer a little. Otherwise, no matter how much money he made, he wouldn't be able to fill the bottomless pit.
Qingqing had already followed Hu Ying to his home.
Zheng Bajin did not follow, but was thinking, how can we completely change the predicament?
…
Hu Ying started to make a fire to cook the pigs. Qingqing couldn't help, so she tidied up the outside of the house. It looked much neater and more like a home.
And Zheng Bajin was sitting at the door of his uncle's house, his brain running rapidly. In this era, what is the most profitable and what can be done fastest?
The uncle looked at him and was worried for him.
At this time, Mrs. Zheng woke up and recovered a lot of energy. She stood up alone, held the door and looked at the two people outside.
Zheng Jiashan heard the noise behind him, turned around and was startled. He hurriedly went to support Mrs. Zheng and complained: "Mom, you are just a little late. If you get up to do anything, go back and lie down!"
"I'm fine. This old bone can still hold on."
Zheng Bajin came to his senses, walked to the door, and helped persuade: "Grandma, uncle is right, go back and lie down quickly."
"It's really okay. I know it in my body and in my heart. I'm fine now. I'll go home with you!"
"No, you have just started to improve. How can you leave? Just stay here and take good care of yourself." Zheng Jiashan became anxious.
"Yes, grandma, just listen to your uncle. He is also your eldest son after all. He should be filial to you. Don't be polite. Just stay with him for a few days. When I earn money, I will take you home. ." Zheng Bajin truly feels that grandma is the best at her uncle's house now, and going back is really not good for her physical and mental health.
I always have to go out to find things to do, and I can't watch her at home. Otherwise, if the bastard brother eats and drinks out, he will do something unscrupulous when he comes back, and the consequences will be disastrous.
"No, I have to go and see Qingqing. Is she angry or running away? Or, does she think her family is poor?" Grandma looked at Zheng Bajin and said.
"It's not what you think. Qingqing is a good person and very sensible. Now, I'm following my mother home. I'll be here soon. I said I'll cook at my uncle's house tonight." Zheng Bajin heard that grandma was Worried that my grandson's wife had run away, I was busy explaining.
"Yes, Bajin is right. If Qingqing wanted to leave, he wouldn't have waited until now. You can rest assured to stay at home. Qingqing will be here soon." Zheng Jiashan also explained.
"Really, you two won't lie to me?" Mrs. Zheng looked at the two of them with a look of disbelief and said, "Qingqing is a good child. I have recognized her as my granddaughter-in-law. You can't let her go." Got her!"
"No, no." The two replied in unison, one on the left and the other on the right, helping Mrs. Zheng back home.
…
In the evening, Zheng Bajin's family of three had dinner at the uncle's house.
Hu Ying went home to look at the pigs at home. Zheng Bajin didn't move, and Qingqing didn't move either, just following him.
Zheng Jiashan's daughter-in-law didn't come back either. Mrs. Zheng became a little anxious. Why was Wang Lanhua missing and asked Zheng Jiashan to look for her.
"There is no need to look for it. A woman like this should go back to her parents' home to reflect and reflect." Zheng Jiashan rarely showed a firm attitude. Zheng Bajin felt that men should be like this. They can pamper women in trivial matters, but they must not do it in the face of big rights and wrongs. vague.
"No, you have to go look for it. What if something happens? Besides, mother is getting old, and she can only live one day at a time. I just want to see you guys get better." As she said this, Mrs. Zheng became sad and burst into tears. The old eyes are spinning.
Zheng Bajin and Zheng Jiashan were busy comforting her: "Don't worry, she must have returned to her parents' home. She will be gone in a few days, so she can just pick her back up."
Qingqing also said: "Grandma, as long as you get better, everything will be fine. I think my aunt will understand the truth sooner or later."
As soon as Mrs. Zheng looked at Qingqing, she felt much better without realizing it. However, not long after, she began to worry about Zheng Bajin's father, Zheng Laohai, and Zheng Baliang, who personally sent her to the childless cave.
Alas, as someone said, parents owed their children in previous lives, and they are here to repay their debts in this life.
Zheng Bajin and Qingqing comforted Mrs. Zheng again, telling him not to worry. One day, things would get better and the family would live a good life together.
Mrs. Zheng nodded and said: "Qingqing, I don't know why, I was in a good mood when I saw you. It's just that you followed Ba Jin, which really made you feel a little wronged. You see, this is the situation at home. , he doesn’t even have a house, which makes you laugh. However, you have to believe that Bajin is a very lucky person, and he will definitely not let grandma down in the future, nor will he let you down."
Qingqing nodded, looked at Mrs. Zheng sincerely and said, "I believe it."
Zheng Jiashan looked at his old mother and said, "Mom, don't worry. I'm happy that Bajin can get better. How about this? I still have an empty house in my house, so let him and Qingqing live in it temporarily. Although it’s a little small, it’s still manageable.”
"You will live in my house from now on, and I will support you." Seeing that Zheng Bajin did not refuse, and seeing that Mrs. Zheng seemed very happy, Zheng Jiashan continued.
"It doesn't matter where I live, the key is not to make Qingqing miserable. Jiashan, I'm really happy that you can lend me your empty house to Bajin." Old Mrs. Zheng stretched out a pair of hands like thwarts. , grabbed Zheng Jiashan and said happily.
"As long as grandma is happy, we will be happy." Zheng Bajin was not polite and agreed in disguise to stay at the uncle's house temporarily. He was worrying about the house. Unexpectedly, he could solve it so quickly and be able to take care of his grandma every day.
Zheng Jiashan lit the lantern on the table, handed it to Zheng Bajin, and said, "While it's still early, go and clean it up."
Zheng Bajin took the lantern, said thank you, and really went to clean up the house.
Qingqing also followed, and the two of them kept cleaning up.
The house only covers an area of about thirty square meters. Fortunately, it has a bamboo building, which is enough for just the two of him.
Zheng Bajin knew that this house was very old and should have been left by his grandfather and given to his uncle. At that time, Zheng Laohai felt that his father was biased and resentful.
However, he did not think about it, how could a bowl of water be balanced? Although Zheng Jiashan got a house, Zheng Laohai did not suffer a loss. He got another house that was larger than this one. Moreover, there was a large open space in front and behind the house. If he had the ability, he could repair it. Such a big three-room tile-roofed house was later sold by him for 300 yuan.
On the contrary, Zheng Jiashan not only kept his parents' inheritance, but also bought a piece of land in front of his house and built two large tile-roofed houses.
There was nothing extra in the house, so the two of them cleaned it up in a short time. Zheng Jiashan brought the straw mat and quilt and said, "It's a pity that there is no bed, so we have to make do."
Zheng Bajin nodded and said a few words of thank you. He naturally understood in his heart that although there was still a bed in Zhengjiashan, it belonged to his cousin and was still waiting to be used by his future wife. It was impossible to use it in advance for him and Qingqing to sleep in advance.
It would be interesting enough to be able to lend him an empty house. Otherwise, he is famous for being a strict wife, and he would not dare to be too kind to Ba Jin.
Zheng Jiashan helped him carry the quilt and straw mat upstairs and said, "Don't be so polite. I'm really not used to it, but I hope you won't disappoint me or your grandma."
Zheng Bajin nodded, saying nothing.
He didn't want to make too many verbal promises and had to prove them with actual actions.
After sending Zheng Jiashan away, Zheng Bajin and Qingqing suddenly felt a little unnatural.
Some things originally fell into place naturally, but for Qingqing, after all, it was too late and she started to get nervous.
Zheng Bajin's hand touched her body, and she suddenly screamed, which startled him.
