The next morning, Zhang An went out for a trip to the mountains. When he came back, he found that someone was at home.
When Zhang An walked into the house and saw that it was his uncle and uncle who he had never interacted with before, Zhang An felt a little bad.
These two people have never been to Zhang An’s home since he can remember. He heard from his father that they have visited twice in the past few years. The first time was because when his parents got married, they I've been here before, and the second time I came here was to borrow food.
No one came to visit me anymore. Even after Zhang An was born and then Zhang An’s grandparents passed away, none of my uncles came to my house.
For this matter, Wang Fang was gossiped behind his back by the villagers.
And Zhang An actually saw smiles that he had never seen before on the faces of the two people. Zhang An rubbed his eyes, maybe he had seen it wrong.
Zhang An put down the bamboo basket he was carrying. Inside was the rabbit he planned to keep outside.
Zhang An wanted to raise rabbits a long time ago, but it has been delayed until now. Even if the tiger cubs caught live rabbits, they could not survive for more than a few days, and they all ended up in the stomachs of Zhang An's family.
This time Zhang An specially picked out two big white rabbits in the space.
"Xiao An is back, and he has caught such a big rabbit. He is very capable." The two people in the room actually called Zhang An, which surprised Zhang An even more.
You must know that since childhood, several of my uncles and even aunts have never taken the initiative to call me, and they usually have a cold look on their faces.
There is no love without reason, and there is no hate without reason.
It is said that it was when Zhang An’s grandparents were still there. At that time, Zhang An’s family had not been separated yet, and they still lived with Zhang An’s grandparents.
They knew that Changqing Village had a lot of paddy fields, so they came to borrow food. They didn’t even give them corn, they just wanted rice.
But the land in the village had not been divided at that time, and everyone was still eating from the big pot. Whose family had extra grain to lend out.
Originally, Grandpa Zhang An was going to give corn because he couldn't shirk it. But when people asked for rice if they didn't want it, Grandpa Zhang An definitely wouldn't give it because they only had a little bit of millet at home, so he lent it to the rest of the family. What do people eat?
So from then on, Zhang An's grandfather and several of Zhang An's uncles seemed to have broken ties with Zhang An's family and had no contact with each other.
Zhang An’s parents only visit Zhang An’s grandma once every year during the holidays, and they would not go at all on weekdays.
When Zhang An was a child, Zhang An’s grandmother came to pick her up and stay with her for a few days because she missed her grandson.
But since Zhang An can remember, he has learned that no one likes him at his grandmother's house except his grandmother. Children are very sensitive to the feeling of isolation. Later, even when Zhang An's grandmother came to pick him up, Zhang An also Didn't go back.
After Zhang An’s grandparents passed away, no family there was willing to come to attend the funeral, and the two families became even more alien.
Hearing the two people calling him, Zhang An just replied lightly, "Yeah."
He turned around and talked to his parents.
"Mom, these two rabbits are locked up in a cage. They are going to be raised."
The two of them saw the two fat and big rabbits from Zhang An's house and thought that Zhang An's house was full of rabbits at noon. Anjia will kill rabbits to entertain himself.
When I entered the village, I heard people in Changqing Village say how prosperous my sister’s family has been recently. She not only bought a car, but also ate meat every meal.
After hearing this, the two felt that the car owned by Zhang An's family at that time belonged to them, and they also lied to everyone that the car was borrowed.
However, when the two saw that the car in the yard was different from the previous one, they felt that what Wang Fang said at that time was not necessarily a lie to them, and they might have been overthinking it.
Because they came here to borrow money from Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo.
Unexpectedly, Zhang An just said yes to him and said he wanted to raise the rabbit. His face looked a little ugly at the moment.
Zhang An ignored them and poured a cup of tea to drink.
The expressions of the two of them looked even uglier now. They had been here for a long time, and they didn’t even pour them a cup of tea.
But in order to borrow money, the two of them still humbly talked to Zhang An's family with smiles on their faces.
Zhang Jianguo also said a few words to them, but Zhang An and Wang Fang simply stopped talking to them.
Even now it’s almost noon, and I still don’t have the intention to get up and cook.
In the end, Zhang An's father couldn't hold back and asked.
"You two, what are you doing here?"
When Zhang Jianguo asked, the two of them immediately became excited, waiting to be asked this question.
"This is my brother-in-law. Your eldest nephew Wang Peng recently said that they are getting married. He likes a girl from Murakami. They are both interested in each other, but the other party's family wants a bride price of fifteen hundred yuan. Isn’t it because my family doesn’t have that much money? I heard that my brother-in-law’s family has been doing well recently, so I wanted to ask you guys to help me transfer one or two thousand yuan slowly, and I can pay it back after harvesting the crops and selling them.” br>
After saying that, he looked at Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang's reactions with wide eyes.
The words "brother-in-law" made Zhang An laugh, and the tea he just drank in his mouth spurted out.
Because they have never called Zhang An's father that.
“You kid, you don’t drink water carefully, it’s true.” Wang Fang was still concerned about Zhang An, for fear that Zhang An would be seriously choked.
Zhang An's feeling was indeed correct. The two of them were groveling, cautious, and forcing smiles today. They were indeed holding back a big move.
One or two thousand yuan is quite a lot for other people, but for Zhang An's family, they can still spend it casually.
But Zhang An is unwilling to borrow it. Of course, it still depends on Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo.
In this regard, Zhang Jianguo cannot be the head of the family, so he still has to look to Wang Fang.
“Hey, we may not be able to help with this matter. Xiao An just bought a car and embezzled all the money in his hands. We may not be able to help Wang Peng with this matter.”
Wang Fang had a look of pity on her face, but what she said made the two of them yell that something was wrong.
"No, little sister, I heard from people in your village that your family has just sold grain, so they should be rich."
Wang Fang politely refused, but unexpectedly the two of them He was so thick-skinned that he beat a snake with a stick.
“You don’t need to pay other people’s debts after selling grain. Our family can’t afford that much money to buy a car directly.”
“Why don’t you tell them first? Let’s see if we can delay the payment for a while. Your eldest nephew’s marriage is a top priority, or selling the deer at home is enough.”
This made Zhang An laugh.
Hell, our family said they had no money to lend you, that was to save your face, but you asked us to sell our livestock and lend it to you, where is our face?
Wang Fang was choked with anger, and Zhang An quickly stood up and patted his mother on the back.
Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang couldn't resist the two of them being so shameless. No matter what, they didn't expect this person to be so shameless. Even if you refuse politely, you will pretend not to understand.
"Okay, okay, the money is not lent to you, the animals will not be sold, and the money for selling grain cannot be relieved, and this matter has nothing to do with my family, you still Think of a solution elsewhere, don't waste time here."
Zhang An saw that his mother was so angry that she couldn't speak, so he spoke directly. He no longer wanted to pretend to the two of them.
"Xiao An, how can you say that? We are your uncles. That is your eldest cousin's life event. How can you say it doesn't matter." Hearing what Zhang An said, Zhang An's The eldest uncle became anxious and started to suppress the situation with firepower using family ties and morality.
But I never thought that Zhang An was not afraid of this kind of thing.
"Okay, okay, don't pretend that your family is very close to mine. Think about what you have done over the years. To be honest, what you said today really made me laugh several times. "
"Including today, you have come to our house three times in total. The first time was when my parents got married, and the second time was when you came to borrow food. Today is the third time. Although this time Instead of borrowing food, it becomes borrowing money. I asked people, can you have some self-respect? When you go to someone else's house, you either borrow this or that."
"Don't talk about uncles and nephews. , To be honest, our family is really not worthy of being relatives with you. When I was at your house, you called me? Did you ask me to go to your house for dinner? Play with me, now you remember that you are my uncle, why did you go there earlier?"
"When my grandparents left, did anyone from your group come to report the news? Look, who can do this? Just because you came to borrow food, there is not much rice at home to give you corn, but you have to insist on rice. If you can't borrow it, we won't communicate with you. Why are you so shameless now? "
"Do you know what happened to my mother behind her back? Now that you want to borrow money, you think of our family. Let me tell you, not to mention there are no doors, not even windows."
< br>It was hard for my parents to say this or break their skin, but Zhang An had nothing to be afraid of, so he just said it directly. When dealing with such people, you must be straightforward.
Be more tactful with him, he really pretends to be disgusting with you.
"Zhang An, although we have done some things before, we are all aunts and uncles after all, and we are a family with broken bones and connected tendons. How can you say that?"
This man actually looked like he was wiping away tears, which made Zhang An disgusted.
"Okay, that's all. Where did you come from and where did you go back? There is no need to waste time here. The money will definitely not be borrowed. Don't say there is no money. It is impossible to give it to you. , I have already seen what kind of people your family is. Leave quickly and don’t affect our family’s lunch.”
Zhang An no longer wanted to pretend to be with the two of them, so he simply opened his mouth to drive them away.
"Dad, Mom, please remember, we must distinguish clearly who is good to our family and who is not good to our family. Good neighbors come to your door with good food and wine, while evil relatives come to your door and are treated with sticks."
After hearing Zhang An’s hard-hearted words, it was impossible for the two of them to take advantage of this.
And originally they planned to borrow the money with nice words, but if they don't pay it back after borrowing, it's not up to them.
"Okay, Zhang Jianguo, Zhang An, your family has become rich and rich, so you no longer look down on these poor relatives. Just wait, the master will watch what you do today."
The two were Zhang An rushed to the door of the courtyard and turned around to say harsh words.
The sound was not so quiet that the neighbors heard it. Everyone stood at the door to watch the excitement. The family diagonally opposite was even more happy and laughed unbridled.
But this time, Zhang An became even more ruthless.
I picked them up one by one and threw them out the door.
"Let's go quickly, don't be embarrassed here."
Then he turned to the big guys and said, "I'm really sorry for letting the big guys watch the fun. This person is me. As we all know before, when I was born and when my grandparents left, none of them came to our house. Today I just heard that our family is doing well. , came to borrow money to suck blood. "
"It turns out that this person is their mother-in-law. We know their mother-in-law. These people are really shameless."
" Yes, we had never seen these people when Uncle Zhang and Mrs. Zhang left."
"If such relatives come to my house, I will give them a stick and make them eat. Go when you are full.”
. . . . .
The two of them didn't expect that they wanted to use righteousness to deal with Zhang An's family by causing trouble outside. However, they didn't expect that as soon as Zhang An said two words, these people started talking about themselves.
At that moment, he glanced at Zhang An fiercely and ran away dejectedly.
Zhang An returned to his house and looked at his mother and father, who were not very interested.
My mother has not had an easy life these years, because of some rumors from the outside world, she is no longer the little girl in her twenties.
"Mom, don't think too much. Our family doesn't need such relatives. Don't you think it's bad to have relatives like the second uncle's family and the third uncle's family? I won't have any contact with them anymore. We still have two uncles and neighbors in our village. "Xiao An, I'm not worried about your grandmother's future." br>
"Mom, it's okay. We have a car at home. We can go whenever you want. We can go and come back the same day. At worst, we can just bring grandma to live with us. , Don’t be upset by these heartless people, it’s not worth it.”
Zhang An understood what his mother was thinking, and it didn’t mean that she would cut off contact with her uncles. He said that he did not recognize his relatives.
Many people had already said this when Zhang An’s grandparents passed away.
She was just worried that no one would tell her if Zhang An's grandmother was in poor health, or not let her fulfill her filial piety.
Anyway, this takes time to get used to.
The drama about Zhang An’s family, where evil relatives came to visit, was talked about by everyone in the village.
Some people think that Zhang An’s family should do this, and some people think that Zhang An’s family can’t do things well.
Anyway, hundreds of people have their own opinions.
Things didn’t happen to me, but I spoke with dignity.
Zhang An still said the same thing, if you don’t know the suffering of others, don’t persuade others to do good. The right and wrong are your own, and it’s up to others to blame or praise. But when you do good deeds, don’t ask about the future.
"Okay mom, I'm hungry."
In order to comfort his mother, Zhang An had to pretend to be a good boy for his mother.
As expected, Zhang An said he was hungry, and Wang Fang dissipated his unhappiness.
Went into the kitchen and started working on lunch.
"It's a bit reckless of you to do this. When the time comes, your reputation will be bad."
Zhang An and Zhang An's father, Zhang Jianguo, are the only ones left in the hall.
Zhang Jianguo also talked to his son.
"Dad, this is not a matter of recklessness or not. I know you can't say this to my mother, but why are such relatives still doing this? It would be better to just cut it off."
“Reputation is something that outsiders comment on. No matter what we do, some people will think it’s not good. So why not do something that makes you feel comfortable? Anyway, I don’t care. I can live my life in the future. "I don't care."
"Don't think about it, Dad, you have to go later." Cut some bamboo and build a rabbit cage. I didn’t mean to raise rabbits just now.”
After hearing Zhang An’s words, Zhang Jianguo remembered that his son had caught two rabbits in the morning.
"This rabbit is not bad. It is so big. There is one male and one female. The cubs should be able to grow to this size."
Zhang Jianguo took a closer look at the two rabbits.
"That was not caught in the same hole."
