Cold as Ice, Formidable
One of them was Aiguo Wu's brother, Jianguo Wu, his wife, Min He, Jianguo Wu's son, Hongyang Wu, and a slim little girl.
It was no wonder that Wu Ze would have such an expression!
He finally came back after much difficulty and finally finished the formalities before coming to thank her. Sometimes, strangers would not treat her as an outsider.
Jianguo Wu was wearing casual clothes. He was three or four years older than Aiguo Wu, but because of his profession, he was much younger.
Seeing Wu Ze like this, he felt a little embarrassed. He walked up to Aiguo Wu and asked with concern," Aiguo, how was the surgery?”
Aiguo Wu nodded.
"That's good."
He Min walked to Tian Huiying's side with the gift and said,"Huiying, I've been very busy with work these few days, so I didn't have time to visit you. I heard that you were in the hospital, so I specially came to see you.”
As he spoke, he took out a hundred yuan bill from his pocket, crumpled it into a ball, and stuffed it into Tian Huiying's hand." Take this hundred yuan bill and give it to the patriots to nourish their bodies. Buy more meat. How nutritious can vegetables be?"”
Tian Huiying hesitated whether she should accept it. No matter what, they were her family. Although it was a little hypocritical, it was not to the extent of falling out with them.
Wu Ze suddenly stretched out his hand and said bluntly," Thank you for your kindness, but we don't want these things. My father's health is not good, so he can't eat these nourishing things anymore. The doctor said that during this period of time, his diet should be lighter, or his body won't be able to take it!”
As he spoke, he took out a thousand yuan bill from his pocket and handed it to He Min." This is what my mother lent you before. You can take it too."”
At this point, Wu Ze made up his mind that he would never have any interactions with his uncle in the future.
This incident did not make him sad. In his memories, his eldest uncle's family had always been mocking and mocking his parents, especially this fake aunt in front of him. She did not mean what she said. Wu Ze hated her from the bottom of his heart.
At that time, his parents were still worried about Wu Ze's job. His uncle and aunt went there five or six times because they wanted to help Wu Ze find a decent job. He had thought that since they were distant relatives, he should be able to help.
Every time, he would be looked down upon. His aunt, He Min, had even told his parents in front of Wu Ze that Wu Ze would be a handyman for the rest of his life. He could not even dream of entering a big company like his son's, not even as a cleaner.
The sound of ridicule was endless.
As for his cousin, Wu Hongyang, because of his family, he didn't take him seriously at all, let alone find him a job. Therefore, his family was the same.
From then on, the two families gradually drifted apart.
Wu Zezheng knew the true situation of this family, which was why he was so determined.
"Wu Ze, what's wrong with you? We're here to visit you, but you're so cold to us. If we weren't family, we wouldn't have come to visit a poor person like you," Wu Hongyang said unhappily.
His tone was filled with contempt and disdain.
Under Wu Jianguo's glare, he shut up.
Of course, Wu Ze thought so, but Tian Huiying did not dare to say it too harshly. After all, he was her husband's brother, so how could she reject him? She accepted the gift and money that He Min gave her, then pulled Wu Ze to her side and said apologetically,"Brother, sister, Wu Ze is still young. He said those words in anger. Don't take it to heart. We're very grateful to you. This is what I owe you. Take it.”
Wu Ze sighed. His mother was also a soft-hearted person. She was the kind of person who looked down on him on the surface but was very soft-hearted on the inside. She knew that her mother did not like him, but she was unwilling to take the initiative to fall out with him.
He Min's expression softened a little. It was natural for her to accept the 1000 yuan. She didn't find it strange at all. Wu Jianguo was about to step forward, but Wu Ze glared at him fiercely and he shrank back.
"Huiying, you know that we don't have that much money. Don't blame us."”
"No, you're thinking too much." Tian Huiying said softly.
"Aiguo must have spent a lot of money on this surgery. Did you borrow it from Second Brother?" He Min continued.”
When asked about the origin of the money, Tian Huiying naturally held her head high and said proudly,"Just the surgery yesterday and the treatment in the hospital cost me seven to eight thousand yuan. When he was discharged from the hospital, he would probably have to spend another few thousand yuan. Wu Ze worked in a factory and the money he earned was enough for him to stay in the hospital until he was discharged.”
He Min's eyes were filled with curiosity. She wanted to know the answer, so she asked," How much did you earn?"
"Not much, about 100,000 to 200,000." Tian Huiying said casually, as if she was shopping in a supermarket.
"Cough cough!"
He Min was stunned. She gulped and stuttered," Did I hear it wrong? Tian Huiying, more than 100,000. Don't try to be brave. Do you know what 100,000 is?"”
It wasn't that she didn't believe it, but she had worked hard with Wu Jianguo all these years, and she had only saved a little over 100,000 yuan. This was because her working conditions were not bad.
They all knew about Wu Ze's family background. Wu Ze was just a high school student who was about to graduate, yet he had earned hundreds of thousands in one go. It was as if he had won five million. It was unbelievable.
"Sigh, Mom's mouth is just cheap. I shouldn't have mentioned so much money to him!”Wu Ze sighed. If his greedy relatives knew that he had such a huge sum of money, they would probably come over to borrow it every three to five days.
Besides, her aunt was not a tight-lipped person. As long as she said a word, her father's brothers and sisters would know. At that time, it would be difficult for her to refuse.
Tian Huiying wanted to take out her savings to show He Min. Fortunately, Wu Ze reacted quickly. He hid the passbook behind his back and said casually,"It's not a big number. Aunt, don't be so surprised. When cousin goes out to work, these can be easily obtained.
Wu Ze deliberately exaggerated it a little to make his aunt's family think that he was bragging.
When Wu Hongyang was mentioned, He Min had a proud expression on her face."You're right. Hong Yang will be admitted to university in September. Don't think that you're doing well as a high school student. Once Hong Yang graduates, all the big companies will fight for him.”
Wu Ze smiled but did not say anything. Wu Hongyang only needed a thought to recall the memories of the future.
When he graduated from university, he was still in the undergraduate stage and had many job opportunities. Unfortunately, his cousin was lazy by nature. Coupled with his poor family background, he was not very focused on his work. He often failed and ran around the company. In the end, he still lazed around at home and waited for death.
In 1998, Wu Jianguo's family was laid off, and their work became less successful. Wu Jianguo also looked for several companies, but he did not earn a single cent. Life was getting harder and harder.
In the end, Wu Hongyang's wife ran away with his child.
"Oh, this is Zhang Shumin, Hong Yang's girlfriend.”Jianguo Wu said.
He Min smiled smugly." Shumin, you've been here for so long and didn't even say hello.”
"Hello, Uncle and Auntie." Zhang Shumin greeted respectfully. As for Wu Hongyang, who should have called him, he did not say a word.
Tian Huiying refused to back down and said apologetically,"I was so busy talking that I forgot that her name is Liu Dongmei, Wu Ze's girlfriend.”
"Hello, Uncle." Liu Dongmei also followed suit, which made the two old men very happy. Even Aiguo Wu smiled.
He Min was still in a daze when Wu Jianguo suddenly stepped forward, took out a new 100 yuan note from his pocket, and stuffed it into Liu Dongmei's hand." This girl is quite reasonable. She's a good match for Wu Ze."”
Seeing that the other party had already said so, Wu Jianguo couldn't refuse. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing. He Min also understood at this time. She pulled a long face and also took out a hundred yuan bill and stuffed it into Liu Dongmei's hand. Zhang Shumin didn't call her that just now, so she still felt a little awkward.
The two of them exchanged a few more pleasantries before bidding farewell and leaving.
After they left, Wu Ze said," Mom, you mustn't tell anyone that we have money. It's not like you don't know what kind of people my dad's brothers are. No matter how much money we have, it won't be enough to pay off their loans.”
Tian Huiying nodded and sighed."I just wanted to show off in front of them.”
Aiguo Wu looked at his wife apologetically.
By noon, Second Uncle and his family had arrived. Their attitude was the same as First Uncle's family. The two of them chatted briefly before leaving. No one would come to help their mother just because she couldn't take care of her alone.
On the sickbed, Aiguo Wu's face was also very ugly and helpless.
After lunch, Wu Ze still had to catch the three o'clock train back. When they heard that Wu Ze was leaving, the two elders did not try to persuade him. They only instructed Wu Ze to continue with his work. When they heard that Liu Dongmei was going to stay for a while, the two old men felt gratified and touched.
