Chapter 080: Envy and Jealousy



It's an hour and a half drive and you'll be there soon.

"Stop the car at the entrance of the town!"

My father, who was familiar with the road, said: "You can drive in, but it's all muddy. You can only back out when you get in."

So the whole family got out of the car and walked in carrying their things. Although they bought a lot of things this year, including meat, fish and sausages, it would be fine if they were two hundred meters away.

"Procrastinate, procrastinate, procrastinate, it's 10:30 and it's not yet——"

As soon as I saw the old house, I heard the dissatisfied voice of my second uncle Liu Wending: "If you come back later, you are waiting to eat ready-made!"

Brother and sister Tang Wanyue looked at each other, speechless.

My aunt is lazy and rarely cooks. During their family reunion, she always waits for everyone to come back to cook. If she comes back late, she will be scolded by her second uncle... He doesn't care whether it's Chinese New Year or not, and he doesn't care whether you are a sister or a brother-in-law. , if you catch someone, you will be scolded.

Only, my aunt’s family won’t!

"It's still early, second brother!"

The father smiled and handed over the cigarette, and the second uncle's expression softened slightly.

The eldest cousin had arrived long ago, the mother and sister went to help cook, the father chatted with the second uncle, and Tang Qinghua went to chat with his grandmother.

Grandma has a bad temper. She scolds everyone while washing and chopping vegetables. She is in her seventies this year, but her body is still very strong. She takes care of all her daily life and has a vegetable garden. However, her eyes have been blurred recently and she cannot see clearly. clear……

"Didn't you see your eldest cousin?"

Tang Qinghua said loudly to his grandmother.

"Your eldest cousin is dating a girlfriend. He went to pick her up for dinner. His girlfriend is from the city. She is arrogant and doesn't know how to look down on our family." My aunt, who was sitting and lighting the fire, finally spoke.

"It's okay, my cousin is handsome!" Tang Qinghua pouted.

Grandpa's family used to be big landowners. Grandma was very good-looking when she was young. Several children have inherited her. In terms of appearance, the Liu family is one of the best in the whole town. The man is tall and handsome, and the woman is beautiful and slender. There is no need to worry about finding her. people.

"Hey, what's the use of being handsome!"

The aunt sighed softly: "People in the city want to save face. The bride price is [-] yuan, and they have to hold banquets in the city... Your uncle and I are just working, how can we have so much money..."

"Auntie, don't worry, I really can't let my cousin cook the raw rice. The price will be easily negotiated then." Tang Qinghua smiled and made a bad idea.

"Hey, you still know this!"

"Yeah, yeah, little Tsinghua University is not simple, are you trying to be friends?"

"With his face, he must be good at playing tricks, and maybe there are a few more."

Everyone laughed immediately, and they all laughed at Tang Qinghua.

At 11:30, my aunt’s house came.

They are in Rongchang City, but they come the latest every time, but the second uncle never scolds them, because the uncle is a civil servant, and the aunt also owns a small supermarket. They have the easiest life, and they even drove here today. !

A Changan Alto,

Come fast on the dirt road!

"Kaiping, have you bought a car?"

Looking at his uncle who drove up, the second uncle was surprised and envious at the same time.

"Junjun is graduating, buy him a car!"

The strength was there, and my uncle spoke very easily: "It's not a good car, it only costs tens of thousands of yuan, but it's good for transportation. It only takes more than ten minutes to go back to my hometown from the county seat!"

"What do you mean it's not a good car?"

Second uncle Liu Wending was full of envy: "How many people can afford to buy a car now? Your life is really getting better and better!"

"That's it!"

Being praised so much by my second uncle, my uncle also felt a little excited: "Why have we been tired all our lives? It's just for the sake of our children! I'm ready. I'll work for another two years to help Junjun buy a house. I'll have a car and a house so I can find a wife." , I won’t worry anymore from now on!”

"You have a car and a house, so what else can you say!"

The second uncle's face turned red, his envy was too obvious.

This little brother-in-law is really rich. He feels bad about buying a motorcycle for himself. He has already bought a car for others. He is also thinking about buying a house for his son. I don’t know if his son will be able to get a girlfriend!

Tang Wenyuan just laughed and took out his cigarette to scatter!

He was not familiar with cars, and he didn't know whether his brother-in-law's modesty was true or not, but judging from the appearance and paint, his Santana should be better than this Alto, right?As for my son’s Audi...well, there’s no need to compare that one!

"Third sister, I heard that you were in a car accident?"

After taking Tang Wenyuan's cigarette, his uncle asked casually: "Is there no big problem? How is your recovery?"

"Hey, I almost couldn't wake up!"

Tang Wenyuan sighed and lamented: "I lay in the hospital for more than two months and almost became a vegetative state. I also bought a car and spent all my savings to get it back from the door of hell... But I probably won't be able to do anything in this life." Live again!”

"so serious?"

Second uncle Liu Wending was surprised.

After Tang Wenyuan's car accident, his mother Liu Shurong called her parents' home, but her second brother was not at home. The old mother listened in a daze and only said that Tang Wenyuan fell while driving, not knowing how serious it was.

Now in the past few months,

He had already forgotten about this!

"If you can't do heavy work, what will you do in the future? I guess all the money has been given to the hospital. I haven't graduated from Tsinghua University yet. There are many places at home that need money... How about you come to Rongchang and I can find you a security guard or something like that?" Live? I can still do this!"

My uncle rarely answers boldly.

But in fact, he regretted it as soon as he said it!

If Tang Wenyuan really came over, not only would she have to help him find a job, but he might even have to live in his own home, which would be troublesome!

"It's okay, I don't have to do anything heavy now!"

Tang Wenyuan smiled and declined his brother-in-law's kindness.

"You mean spoiling me? Can't you afford to lose face?"

The second uncle's eyes widened and he habitually began to reprimand: "You're already like this, why do you need any more face? Kaiping is willing to help you find a job because he thinks highly of you. Do you think you can still be a driver! It doesn't matter if you suffer, don't Let my sister suffer along with you!"

"Second brother, don't worry!"

Tang Wenyuan nodded: "I contracted out the brick factory for our production team, so I don't have to do it myself for the time being."

"The production team's brick factory? Where did you get the money to contract?"

My uncle was surprised when he heard this: "If we really take over the contract, we can make a lot of money in a year, right?"

"That... has just been contracted, and it hasn't been produced yet."

Tang Wenyuan was a little embarrassed: "But it cost a lot of money in the early stage. I guess I will still lose money next year!"

He told the truth that he spent more than 10,000 yuan to buy the factory. Including the initial investment, it is estimated to be more than 40 yuan. Therefore, not only will he lose money next year, but he may not even make a lot of money the year after that.

"Then what a fart!"

The second uncle's eyes widened and he slapped the table angrily: "How can such a good thing happen? Why don't you take over a factory that doesn't make money? Hurry up and put down Rongchang and follow Kaiping... People can put down their dignity for you and find someone else." Help, are you still afraid of being embarrassed?"

"..."

Tang Wenyuan had nothing to say.

Just at this time, the eldest cousin brought his girlfriend back. The girl was slender, wearing a down jacket, elegant and elegant, and she must have a good personality. After walking such a long muddy road, she didn't look angry at all.

This is the second submission location!

After saying hello, her eldest cousin took her to recognize her relatives.

"The person is not bad——"

My uncle smiled and commented.

"He's a nice person, but things haven't been decided yet!"

The second uncle sighed: "The two have been dating for two years and are planning to get married in the new year. But the other party asked for a bride price of 5 yuan. After two talks, it was reduced to [-] yuan. However, they asked to hold a banquet in the city. We have to do it in a glamorous manner, we have to take wedding photos, we have to buy gold and silver jewelry, and we have to be transported by a motorcade... By the way, Kai Ping, can I borrow your car as a wedding car when the time comes!"

"It's okay, but I'm afraid the car won't look good if it's damaged!"

My uncle was slightly embarrassed: "Since the other party wants to save face, why should the wedding car cost more than [-] yuan like Santana or Bora?"

It’s a bit embarrassing for Alto to be the host of the wedding car!

"Then where can I find it? Our boss drives a Santana, but I can't borrow it!"

The second uncle couldn't help but become anxious.

He wanted his younger brother-in-law to borrow a car for him, but Wang Kaiping did not dare to agree casually.Wang Kaiping has a friend who owns a Santana, but they may not agree to borrow the car. After all, if you say you are willing to lend someone something worth 10,000+!

It costs thousands of dollars to wipe some hanging points. Who will I call when the time comes?

"Second brother, I have a Santana!"

Tang Wenyuan couldn't bear it anymore and answered.

"what?"

"You have?"

The two of them were stunned at the same time, thinking they heard wrongly!

"Yes, this year's latest model, original black paint, if Liu Wei wants to use it for his wedding, just drive it!"

Tang Wenyuan didn't want to hide it at all.

"Where did you get your car? Or Santana, didn't you say that all the money was used in the hospital?"

My uncle Wang Kaiping was a little confused.

"It's true that my little money was lost to the hospital, but Tsinghua University was smart and made some money online. He was afraid that my legs would be inconvenient, so he bought me a car." Tang Wenyuan told the truth.

"Are you sure you bought Santana? That's more than [-] yuan!"

The uncle still didn't believe it. He knew the Tang family's situation very well. He couldn't afford Santana at the best of times, not to mention that Tang Wenyuan had experienced a car accident. How much money could a half-year-old child make?His family, Wang Junjun, is older than Tang Qinghua, and he still asks for money from his family every day!

Besides, that's a Santana, not a bicycle!

"real--"

Tang Wenyuan answered again.

"Don't lie to me. Why are you walking here after buying a car?"

My second uncle definitely didn't believe it. If he bought a car, he would definitely drive it out with great fanfare, making everyone envious and short-sighted.

"This tractor-towed road is too bad. I'm worried about driving in and getting stuck."

Tang Wenyuan sighed: "Besides, I didn't drive Santana today..."

"..."

"..."

When the two heard this, the corners of their lips curled up.

What do you mean by not driving a Santana? It doesn't exist at all... We are all brothers who know everything about you. I still don't know how much money you have?Tang Wenyuan, Tang Wenyuan, you would never brag like this before!

"No, please wait a moment -"

Tang Wenyuan was depressed and felt insulted.

He ignored the two of them, strode outside, came to the parking space outside, and drove the Audi directly in.

People compete for a breath, and Buddha competes for a stick of incense. You can't be regarded as bragging!
