In fact, I knew very well in my heart that my adoptive father was more traditional and conservative than my adoptive mother, but my adoptive father felt in his heart that since I already knew that it was not their biological child, he did not want to interfere with me as much as his biological parents did.
Speaking of which, he hates Lu Yuxin more than his adoptive mother, since Lu Yuxin arrived at Chen Zhiqiang's house, his adoptive mother has been there several times, and his adoptive father has never stepped into the door of Chen Zhiqiang's house once.
And his attitude today is that he doesn't want us to be too embarrassed by each other, if it is better if I am a biological child, if I turn against them like this, everyone will feel embarrassed.
"Mom, Dad," although it was a bit awkward to call them parents again after knowing their background, I still shouted after all: "Are you still in your era, and in our countryside?" We are all just eighteen years old now, and we are about to face the college entrance examination. ”
Due to the death of Chen Zhiqiang's father last time, after the two old people left, for various reasons, I didn't call them, and they didn't look for me, I must have thought that after I learned that they were adoptive parents, I had begun to alienate them, so this time I suddenly heard me call their parents, and the two old people were subconsciously stunned.
Or the adoptive mother reacted faster, she immediately took my hands with both hands, sat down on the chair next to her, and quickly asked, "By the way, your uncle and cousin are gone, so what about their current suite?" ”
I smiled, "Mom, Dad, I was about to tell you about this. Their suite, at that time, the names of three people were written, that is, uncle, as well as Chen Zhiqiang and Lu Yuxin, now that the uncle and Chen Zhiqiang have passed away, the owner of the house is actually Lu Yuxin's. ”
When the adoptive mother heard this, she immediately showed a desperate face.
"But Lu Yuxin has money, she doesn't care about this suite, and after learning that Chen Zhiqiang died, she told me, let me take you two elders, and the suite will be for you to live in."
"How's that going to work? Our family has a house, and besides, she gave this suite to the two of us, just because she didn't have good intentions towards you. My adoptive mother held my hand tightly and said, "Child, we are not short of ambitions, we don't want her house!" ”
"Mom," I had to coax her: "Look, now that even Chen Zhiqiang is gone, and there is no one to cook for me, you two are here, can't you still cook for me?" ”
The adoptive mother glanced at the adoptive father, who hesitated for a moment and said nothing.
"What's the matter, isn't my studies as good as the one-third of an acre of land at home?"
The adoptive mother said: "Child, you are not unclear about the conditions at home, your two sisters have given us a lot of money over the years, and when your uncle was alive, he also subsidized us a lot, plus me and your father have saved nearly 100,000 yuan more or less, and we are going to keep this 100,000 yuan for you to study in college." Although what you said is right, I came with your dad to take good care of you, but that suite is so big, I heard that there are still property fees to be paid in the city, plus electricity and water, and my parents can't afford it! ”
Listening to her words, I couldn't help but burst into tears, and I couldn't stop crying on the spot.
Seeing this, the adoptive father immediately reproached the adoptive mother: "You dead old woman, tell you to say two words less, say two words less, you just don't listen, you see, make the child cry well, right?" ”
In fact, the two of them didn't know how I was feeling at this time, and I felt ashamed of them.
When I knew that I was not their biological child, although it was not so obvious on the surface, I had already begun to alienate them from the bones. And when I learned that Chen Zhiqiang's father was actually not my father, and my own mother was hurt by Chen Zhiqiang, I even deliberately avoided the two old men.
Because I think that the reason why the two old men raised me was completely to pay off the debts of Chen Zhiqiang's father, and they didn't have the slightest affection for me, just because Chen Zhiqiang's father was the younger brother of his adoptive mother.
Because of this, for such a long time, whether at home or abroad, I never thought of calling the two old men, and the two old men never bothered me, but they were still ready to keep the 100,000 yuan I had saved over the years for me to go to college.
If Lu Yuxin hadn't proposed it first this time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have thought of bringing them in, because I know that they will definitely oppose it, and I am with Lu Yuxin.
Hearing her adoptive father's loud shouts, her adoptive mother stammered and explained, "I...... I'm telling the truth, and I'm not saying anything else? ”
I immediately wiped away my tears and said to the two of them: "Dad, Mom, it's okay, it's okay, I think that after so many years, it's really not easy for you to raise me, you just listen to me, just live at your uncle's house, and you won't be able to bear the property fees, water and electricity bills." ”
The adoptive mother sank her face and said, "If Lu Yuxin is allowed to bear it, it will be even worse, we can't owe her!" ”
I explained: "It's okay, when my uncle left, he left more than 300,000 yuan, which was originally intended to provide for your retirement, and there was no problem at all with that money to pay for water and electricity property bills." ”
"Huh?" The adoptive mother asked in astonishment, "So much money, where is the money?" ”
"It's in the bedside table in Chen Zhiqiang's bedroom."
"Hey, you stupid boy, don't you put it away quickly, what if someone else steals it?" The adoptive mother hurriedly said: "That must be what your uncle is going to use for you to marry your daughter-in-law, if you really have so much money, child, you can't marry Lu Yuxin's broken shoes no matter what!" ”
It seems that the adoptive mother's prejudice against Lu Yuxin is too deep, and I can't explain anything, so I just nod my head and said: "Okay, let's talk about those things later, you can rest in the inner room later, and rush back early tomorrow morning, grab the money in your hands first, don't lose it." When you go back, clean up the house, you two elders will live here, and I will have a place to eat in the future. ”
The adoptive mother was still a little hesitant, and the adoptive father said: "The children have said this, what are you still worried about?" After Zhiqiang is buried, I will go back, sell the chickens and ducks at home, and bring everything I can bring, no matter what, we must at least accompany our children to finish the university entrance examination. ”
The adoptive mother sat there thinking for a while, and suddenly became restless, and before I could open her mouth to ask, she took my hand again and asked, "Child, can you let the father of the little Song girl drive the car over again?" ”
I looked at the time: "Mom, what's the matter with you?" It's all a little bit now, how can you ask someone to drive? ”
"Hey, where else do I have, isn't it just the hundreds of thousands of dollars you said are in the bedside table? I don't know if you're a kid with a big heart, or if you're as fierce as ever, with so much money on the bedside table, you're like no one! The adoptive mother walked around the mourning hall, and finally said, "No, child, I see that little Song girl and her father are very charitable, you beg him, we can pay him the fare." ”
The adoptive father choked her again: "You are really an old woman who has never seen the world, do you see Xiao Song and his father like that, is he the one who got up at one o'clock in the middle of the night and came here to earn your little money for the journey?" ”
I thought about it for a while, and suddenly felt that this was a good opportunity for them to gradually accept Lu Yuxin.
"It's not that there is no way," I said to my adoptive mother, "I'm afraid you don't want to." ”
"This kid, when is it, he is still here to hang his mother's appetite, if there is a way, just say it directly!"
I knew: "Lu Yuxin is the boss, and she has a lot of people under her, so at this time, you can only find the car by asking her to come forward." ”
"No, you can't beg her!" The adoptive mother flatly refused, but after a few turns, she had to compromise again: "Okay, you can call her." By the way, just this once, next time the sky will fall, and we won't go to her again! ”
"Okay!"
I immediately took out my mobile phone and called Lu Yuxin, Lu Yuxin didn't seem to be asleep, still lying on the bed watching TV, I quickly asked her to find someone to drive a car over and send her adoptive parents to Chen Zhiqiang's house.
Lu Yuxin didn't say a word, and hurriedly called the company, and about 40 minutes later, the company's driver arrived here in a car and sent my adoptive parents to Chen Zhiqiang's house overnight.
Seeing that the two elders agreed to stay, I finally breathed a long sigh of relief, but seeing that they had such a deep prejudice against Lu Yuxin, I really didn't know how to resolve this knot.
But there is one thing that I am quite pleased with, that is, the two of them fell in love with Song Nina at a glance, and invisibly gave me a reason not to let go of Song Nina.
Early the next morning, Song Nina hurried over, carrying a large bag of milk and buns, probably thinking that my adoptive parents were also here, and she was a little surprised to see me alone.
I told her that her adoptive parents had gone to Chen Zhiqiang's house, and seeing her face full of regret, I tried my best to eat steamed buns and drink milk, so as not to make her feel that she had run for nothing.
She was originally a very smart girl, and when she saw me like this, she smiled with satisfaction, frowned again, and said, "Stupid, don't die if you can't eat so much!" ”
When I was almost eating, I hurriedly urged her to go to school, she walked to the door and pointed to the car and said to me: "Guodong, the baby listens to you, you see, the baby asked his father to hire a female driver, you should rest assured now, right?" ”
I smiled, saw that her school uniform had not been changed, deliberately put my hand into the pocket of her pants, and asked, "I won't go to school today, what do you mean by wearing these pants?" ”
Her eyes widened, and she said to me seriously: "Emma, the baby forgot that you didn't go to class today, and the mother had to wash it in the morning, or the baby snatched it from her." ”
I pinched her thigh and said, "Okay, sew this pocket up in the future, don't make me think about class." ”
Song Nina pouted, and asked rhetorically full of grievances: "If you don't do well in the college entrance examination, you won't blame the baby for being red and delaying you, right?" ”
