Chapter 16 Relatives’ calculation
A pair of straight legs stopped in front of the glass, and the slender back complemented the exquisite collection.
The man gave a lazy smile and his eyes fell on the font under the collection:
Ru kiln sky blue glaze tea set (donated by Ms. Shen You)
This shouldn't be something of this world.
Shen You came out carrying a paper bag from the cultural and creative store. Among the passers-by, she saw a pair of dark eyes reflected through the glass,
But it passed quickly, and when I looked up again, there was only the reflected light and a dark figure on the back.
The ratio of leg length to shoulder width is particularly noticeable when walking through the exhibition hall.
Shen You looked away, walked around until the time was almost up, spoke to Xu Jiayan on the phone, and left the library through the exit.
In front of the museum, there is a street with antique buildings selling various specialties. Many people park their cars here.
Not only was there no empty seat in sight, she also had no way to go!
Shen You stood in front of her car and took a deep breath. The man next to her almost attacked her and blocked her car door so tightly that she couldn't open it at all.
Being able to park the car so tightly is not a strength.
Look at the flamboyant sports car parked opposite. The cars on both sides are far away, as if they are hiding from the plague.
Shen You got into the driver's seat from the other side, started the car, and spent several hundred to eat a seafood buffet that he had wanted to eat before going home.
As soon as we parked the car, the phone call came in from home.
Shen You turned off the music in the car, turned it on, and called out, "Mom."
"Xiaoyou, how are you doing lately? Are there any difficulties in the store?"
Listening to the familiar voice coming from the headphones, Shen You said softly, "The store is okay, pretty good."
When she first learned about the inheritance, she called home and asked the relative who had no impression,
The other party had not had any contact with their family for more than ten years and had no children. After confirming that there was such a person and that it was not a scam, she signed and went through the formalities.
"That's good." Zou Yujing smiled happily, "By the way, your cousin-in-law's family said they are going to Jiangcheng. I wanted to ask you if you can let them stay for a while."
Shen You quickly replied, "No, it's inconvenient!"
"You know, Mom, I don't like outsiders living in my house. You won't agree, right?"
Listening to the slightly silent voice over there, she knew what was going on.
"We are all relatives, how can we say we are outsiders?" Zou Yujing retorted in a suppressed voice, "We can't ignore our relatives."
The emotion on Shen You's face faded a bit,
"This should be said to the people who coaxed you into guaranteeing your guarantee and ran away. We talk about feelings, but do they talk about it?"
"Don't tell me that I'm still decorating, even if I'm not there! It's a delicate job for me to repair old things. If something goes wrong, I can't afford to pay for it."
The last sentence was an excuse for her mother. Shen You knew her parents too well.
I have been honest all my life, but I don’t seem to know how to say no when facing my relatives.
"Okay, take care of yourself in the city."
Zou Yujing gave a few more instructions before hanging up the phone.
Cousin-in-law An Lifeng, who was waiting for a reply in the yard, heard the rejection, and the smile on her face suddenly changed.
It’s not obvious, but the words are shocking,
"Hey, I also thought that Xiaoyou would not be so safe if she lived alone as a girl,
We stayed there for a few days, and her aunt was able to help her check out the store and cook, but who knows, it made her unhappy. ”
Shen You's aunt, her cousin's mother-in-law, wanted to buy a house in Jiangcheng and send their children to study here. The educational conditions in the city were always better than those in the districts and counties.
But when you look at the house, you also need a place to live during the period from closing the house to decorating it.
They had to spend more money to rent a house, so they originally thought of going to Shen You's place to stay for a while.
Anyway, Shen You lives alone. I heard that the house has a third floor, which is enough for them to live in.
Who knows what that girl is like when she can't even talk to her own mother and doesn't care about these relatives at all.
"That's not what Xiaoyou means." Zou Yujing explained with embarrassment, "She is renovating and taking on jobs, so it's really inconvenient." "Xiaoyou is renovating? Is her shop doing well?" An Lifeng asked in surprise. .
She exchanged a look with her mother-in-law Shen Cuiping, and her mind became active again.
Decoration is very expensive these days, costing at least hundreds of thousands.
That girl has earned so much money. If she can lend them some, the budget for buying a house won't be so tight.
Zou Yujing smiled and said, "I don't know. She spends a lot of money outside alone. It's good that the money she makes is enough for herself."
An Lifeng eagerly answered the question, "Will Xiaoyou come back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival this year?"
"I'm back." Zou Yujing replied.
Shen Cuiping smiled and said, "That's good. Then we will have dinner together at home."
It was still some time before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and when An Lifeng left Shen You's house, she had already begun to make plans in her mind.
Before Shen You got out of the car, she looked at the lit screen of her phone and leaned back.
She remembered three years ago again.
At that time, she was still a clear and stupid college student. She couldn't go home except during holidays.
So much so that she didn't even know it happened.
The second uncle went to her house for three days in a row, asking for her welfare, and with a sincere and reliable attitude. He used the so-called blood relationship to coax her parents to sign a guarantee and even borrowed the money for a house she had just sold. Not a single point left.
I promised you that I would repay the funds as soon as the funds came over.
Her parents valued that little bit of kinship and didn't hesitate to write an IOU, so they just transferred the money.
As soon as the money was received, the second uncle stopped going to her house, and the repayment of the money was delayed again and again.
After she found out about this, she asked her parents to ask immediately, and they got two words: no money.
My parents said that my second uncle was originally going to do a big business in partnership with someone, but the financial situation has been bad in the past two years, and he really can't come up with the money to pay back. We are a family, so we shouldn't push too hard.
Just like this, another year passed, and what they waited for was that the second uncle had borrowed money from all his relatives, even those farther away in the countryside, who lent him money out of trust.
As little as tens of thousands, as much as more than ten or two hundred thousand, none of which has been paid back.
The second uncle demolished the east wall to make up for the west wall. He couldn't bear the behavior of filling bank debts anymore, so he transferred his property and ran away.
Collection text messages from the bank and court flyers were delivered to their homes.
There is no other way. If you sign a guarantee, you will be responsible. If the second uncle runs away, this part of the debt will fall on her family.
I got a knock on the door from the bank, and the court froze my parents’ savings that they had worked hard to save for half a lifetime. These things happened in just half a month.
In the end, her family was completely destitute, with only a small property and a debt of 300,000 yuan, which had to be repaid every month.
My parents also regretted it, but it was too late to say anything. Even if the person was found back, he would not be able to pay back the debt even if he was insolvent.
With the situation at home, it was impossible for her to continue taking the postgraduate entrance examination.
During that time, Shen You was so angry that she often had insomnia.
When she was a child, her second uncle was actually very good to her, and the two families were close.
But the year before the second uncle ran away, his son who was living and drinking outside was jumped by a fairy because he said he still couldn't pay.
It cost tens of thousands to settle the matter at that time, and it was only the second time.
Not only that, but he also had an affair with someone while driving drunk, and spent hundreds of thousands to go out. He was able to travel abroad with his wife and children, but he had no money to pay back.
Having seen how far others can be self-interested, Shen You only believed in himself.
She will bear the expenses of supporting her parents in their old age, and she has long drawn a clear line between those plastic relatives.
