Chapter 49: Being unfilial while alive and screaming after death
“Dad, stop talking.”
Xu Qingshan said.
Xu Xuejun ignored it, and before Lin Yuehua could refute, he seemed to want to vent his long-simmered anger in front of his mother-in-law and son.
Lin Yuehua stared at Xu Xuejun with her head tilted, looking sad and angry, wanting to hear what else he could say.
Xu Xuejun was furious. He stood up suddenly, stood in front of the coffee table, stretched out his hand high and pointed at Lin Yuehua's nose, and was about to start reprimanding him with a livid face.
"The last time I talked about worshiping, it was like this. It's unreasonable. Now there are so many things in the workplace, and they are all competing for minor subjects. You are the only one holding me back. It would be a shame for me to marry a woman like you."
Xu Xuejun was about to scold Lin Yuehua loudly.
"I said, shut up!"
Xu Qingshan stood up suddenly and grabbed Xu Xuejun's hand.
He stopped in front of his mother, looking directly at his father with a calm expression.
His tall body was like a giant tree, and the light fell on Xu Qingshan from the warm yellow lamp on the ceiling.
The light and shadow are divided into two parts.
One petal is Lin Yuehua, and the other petal is Xu Xuejun.
Lin Yuehua looked at her son who was standing in front of her, blocking her husband. The tears that had been held back in her eyes could no longer be hidden.
Xu Xuejun was surprised and angry. He raised his head and looked at his tall son.
"open!"
Xu Xuejun ordered sternly.
He would never allow his son to challenge his authority.
The little old lady who was pouting and worrying at the side immediately stood up after seeing Xu Qingshan stand up. She wanted to come over and pull away, but she was at a loss.
"You take a look at this first."
Xu Qingshan took out a document bag from the schoolbag placed on the sofa and patted it in Xu Xuejun's hand.
"Sit down and watch and talk."
Xu Xuejun's attention was diverted.
The original anger and momentum were suddenly cut off, and he was at the mercy of Xu Qingshan for a while.
Xu Qingshan pressed his shoulders and asked him to sit down.
"Grandma, take my mother to wash her face and go back to the room to rest."
Xu Qingshan let go of Xu Xuejun's hand, turned his head and said to his grandmother.
Although he was just a child in their eyes, Liushenwuzhu's grandmother obeyed Xu Qingshan's unquestionable words and took her daughter back to the room.
Only Mr. Xu and his son were left in the living room.
"beep"
The water boiled, Xu Qingshan took the kettle and moved the tea tray in front of him.
"Dad, let's talk?"
"What are you talking about? Don't talk too much about adults' business. Just read your book."
Xu Xuejun held a document bag in his hand, his eyebrows were cold and he never forgot to preach.
"You don't even know that people like your mother are really idiots. Our company is currently investigating corporate tax evasion. This matter is the key to promotion to associate department. Your mother is sick and needs someone to take care of her, and she is making trouble because of such and such things. , hold me back."
"It's your mother's fault that I won't be promoted or successful in my career. If..."
"Drink tea."
Xu Qingshan pushed the teacup in front of Xu Xuejun.
Xu Xuejun picked up the tea cup, took half a sip, and took out the information from the document bag. As soon as he saw the title of the information, the tea soup he just drank choked his throat.
"Where did you get this information?"
He quickly flipped through the information in shock and suddenly looked up at his unfamiliar son.
Old God Xu Qingshan was there and did not answer.
He poured another cup for Xu Xuejun, then picked up the teacup and tasted it carefully.
"Come, have some tea."
Xu Xuejun was about to speak, but when Xu Qingshan said this, he could only drink another cup. But before he could swallow the tea, Xu Qingshan suddenly said something light and carefree.
"Dad, you're in a hurry."
"Hey, cough, cough, cough, I'm not in a hurry!"
Xu Xuejun was choked again and defended loudly.
"Look, he's in a hurry."
Xu Xuejun originally wanted to criticize a few words.
Looking at Xu Qingshan's calm appearance, he swallowed his words back.
"Incompetence and rage are the actions of a coward. Learning to be calm and calm when encountering difficulties is the true nature of a man."
“Be quiet about big things, slow down about urgent things, and change when things are difficult.”
"Dad, you taught me these."
"You have always been the pillar of our family in my heart, but your behavior is different from what you taught me."
Xu Qingshan held the teacup cover in his hand and slowly brewed tea.
Xu Xuejun was silent.
"We are just the father and son here now. You have never said anything that is not conducive to family unity, and I have never heard it."
"There's no hurry about the information. Let's talk about family first." Xu Xuejun held the tea cup and lowered his head slightly.
Somehow, his butt went from being completely pressed against the sofa to only touching half of it.
"I'm soft-spoken and don't know much, but I can still chat with you, dad."
"What happened this time, if I'm not wrong, is that my uncle came to set up a stall in Longjiang Commercial Street and was blackmailed by gangsters, so there was a conflict, right?"
Xu Qingshan recalled the somewhat unbearable past.
In his previous life, he first fell into hell and then slowly got up, but sometimes young people who have experienced too many things are beaten before their minds mature, and naturally they are prone to develop deformed hearts.
Because of this, after the matter was resolved, he had a conflict with his father, fled to Shanghai, embarked on a road of no return, and was eventually imprisoned.
Everything has a cause and an effect.
What happened during his senior year of high school was also the fuse that caused the Xu family to gradually fall apart and become heavily in debt, igniting the dynamite that had been under the mountain of shit that could barely be maintained.
Xu Xuejun nodded.
"Then what you just wanted to tell my mother was to talk about how difficult it is to help my uncle, but you will do your best to help. You just hope that she will also help with the financial matters at the second aunt's house and the matter of letting me go back to worship. You need your full support, right?”
Xu Qingshan's tone was soothing and not aggressive.
After hearing this, Xu Xuejun looked at Xu Qingshan in even more surprise.
How did this kid know.
"Um"
Xu Xuejun responded, but then he remembered something and frowned.
"Children, don't worry so much. Just listen to me and don't be led astray by your mother."
"Dad, let's talk about worshiping first."
Xu Qingshan interrupted Xu Xuejun's complaints and continued.
"Let me ask you, did I go back that year?"
"Um."
"Okay, did we abide by the secular rules of filial piety that year?"
"Um."
"Okay, my mother is asked to get up at five o'clock every 15th day of the lunar month and every eighth day of the year to ride a motorcycle back to the mountains, burn incense and worship before leaving the mountains to go to work. Didn't my mother do it?"
"Done."
"Then I am preparing for the college entrance examination and cannot return to my hometown. Is this against local customs?"
"No, no, but this matter."
Xu Xuejun wanted to argue, but Xu Qingshan didn't give him a chance.
"Since my eldest aunt wants me to go back, why did she say that I must go back last year when it was the right year? Then why didn't my eldest cousin go back?"
"He needs it for his job."
"My cousin couldn't find a job last year."
Xu Xuejun was stunned and wanted to defend his nephews, but he couldn't find a reason.
"Although my grandparents haven't taken much care of me, do you think my grandpa in heaven would rather see me succeed in my studies, or would he rather see the whole family fighting among themselves?"
"There's no internal fighting, it's just some misunderstandings, it's not that serious."
"Children, don't listen to the wind."
Xu Xuejun couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
"Really? Then why are the eldest uncle's family and the second uncle's family not in contact with each other because of the eldest aunt's affairs? Grandpa never saw the eldest aunt being so filial when he was alive. Isn't that what it is?"
"You are unfilial while you are alive, and you will scream indiscriminately after you die."
Xu Qingshan kept smiling and said words that shocked Xu Xuejun.
It was hard for him to imagine that such words would come out of his son's mouth.
He stood up suddenly, his temper rising again.
"Children, don't talk nonsense!"
"Then what are you anxious about?"
Xu Qingshan did not show any weakness and stood up. His eyes met and he looked at his father without giving in.
"I don't have any companionship or money during my lifetime. You pay for everything. Is this considered filial piety?"
"Being unfilial during life is for your own benefit. Being filial after death is for your own face. All the funeral gifts were taken away by their family. Isn't this deep-rooted selfishness?"
"When grandpa passed away, grandma didn't take care of things, and uncle didn't do anything. So as the eldest sister-in-law, what did she do?"
"In one year, the eldest son and the second son's family fell out, and the third son's family got divorced."
"An unvirtuous wife will ruin three generations. Now look at it. Is my eldest aunt a virtuous woman?"
Xu Qingshan's eyes were bright and his momentum was like a rainbow.
Xu Xuejun's fingertips were trembling.
"How do you know that your mother and I are getting a divorce?"
"呲"
Xu Qingshan sneered and shook his head. He sat down and asked Xu Xuejun to take a seat.
"Sit down, don't rush."
