After Mingyue left the Qin family, she immediately contacted Uncle Qin.
There were only two brothers in Qin's father's generation. Uncle Qin didn't have much talent in studying, but he was smart and willing to work hard. In the early years, he and his wife contracted the school cafeteria and made a lot of money. Now they have opened two snack bars near the school. For convenience, his family bought a house next to the school.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that Qin’s father behaves with disdain for actors in front of Qin Mingyue, and divides different professions into different levels, acting like a conservative person.
But in front of Uncle Qin, Qin's father never dared to show the condescending attitude of a person who eats public food and looks down on self-employed individuals, because he knew that his brother would really beat him.
After all, this kind of thing has happened before. When Qin's father first became a teacher, he was so proud. It was a stable job and he was paid by the government. All the relatives in the family said that he was more promising than his brother. No wonder the old man kept him by his side since he was a child.
At that time, Uncle Qin was a chef. The hotel where he worked went bankrupt within two years. Then, he set his sights on the school cafeteria because he knew that the catering industry was really profitable. The school at that time was a closed management model and the school provided food and accommodation for the children. Although working in the cafeteria was a bit hard, it was like picking up money on the ground.
Uncle Qin just wanted his younger brother to go with him to show up to the school leaders. Without his younger brother saying anything or doing anything, Uncle Qin had already prepared the "gift money" and kickbacks for the school leaders. He also said that if the deal was done, he would give his younger brother's family 2,000 yuan every month.
To put it bluntly, he asked his younger brother to go with him because he thought that they were all brothers and family, and by pretending to use his younger brother's name, he could give his younger brother some money and also prevent his wife's family from having any complaints.
But Qin's father was a stubborn person. He just said, "It's so embarrassing. I don't want to go. You guys shouldn't come to work in my school either." This hurt the relationship between the two brothers.
I treat you as my brother and want to do something good for you, but you think I am embarrassing you
This made the aunt-in-law so angry that she laughed. She knew very well that her husband wanted to help his younger brother, but the other person took his kindness for granted and instead felt that her husband had brought shame upon him. Don't you think it's ridiculous
Uncle Qin was so angry that he picked up a rolling pin and beat his brother until he cried out. He beat him and scolded him: "I make a living by my own skills, why should I lose face? You can't speak human language after teaching for two years. Fortunately, you only teach a play class, otherwise the students would be corrupted by you."
At that time, chemistry and biology were not taken seriously, and many people thought they were just for fun.
Dad Qin was really scared by the beating from Uncle Qin that day, and afterwards he didn't dare to say a single unpleasant word in front of Uncle Qin.
Of course, Qin's father did not show up with Uncle Qin, but the cafeteria was eventually contracted by Uncle Qin. However, the two thousand yuan given to Qin's father every month was naturally gone.
Later, the two families had little contact with each other. Even though they lived close to each other and went to the same school, they saw each other every day. However, Qin's father and mother's personalities were not very likable, and Uncle Qin and his family did not get close to them, treating them as strangers.
However, Uncle Qin and his wife were quite good to Qin Mingyue. They only had two sons, so they naturally liked this obedient and well-behaved niece with good grades. Whenever they saw Qin Mingyue alone, they would secretly give her some money or buy something for her.
Just then, when Uncle Qin heard Mingyue call to say she was back, he immediately asked, "Where are you now? Uncle is here to pick you up."
The aunt next to her said, "I'm going to go out and buy some vegetables. You can show off your cooking skills and make something delicious for Mingyue to taste at noon."
Now that the family store has grown into a successful business and they have hired people to do the work, they no longer need to keep an eye on it all the time.
Mingyue asked if her uncle was at home, and after getting a positive answer, she said, "Uncle, you don't have to come pick me up, I'm at the school, I'll come over by myself."
Uncle Qin agreed readily, and hurriedly urged his wife to go buy vegetables, and said: "By the way, Mingyue likes to eat shrimps, buy more, I will make a few more flavors, so that our Mingyue can eat enough." "Got it, I will buy some water spinach, Mingyue also likes to eat this, and buy some fruits..."
"Let's buy some more food. I'll ask Zhiqiang and Zhiming to bring their wives and children back so that we can have a lively family..."
Mingyue hadn't hung up the phone yet. When she heard the noise from the other end of the line, she couldn't help but smile. This was what family was like!
It’s a pity that in her previous life, Qin Mingyue took the Qin couple’s face into consideration and never had any contact with Uncle Qin’s family. In addition, she later changed her contact information, so Uncle Qin’s family could not contact her, and she lost the chance to be redeemed.
If Qin Mingyue had close contact with Uncle Qin's family, she might not have ended up like that.
Mingyue shook her head slightly. Of course, there was no point thinking about these things now.
She first went to a nearby large supermarket to buy gifts, and then walked towards Uncle Qin's house.
The doorbell had just rang twice when Uncle Qin opened the door. It was obvious that he had been waiting at the door early.
He took the things from Mingyue's hands very naturally, and said with some resentment: "You kid, you're here, why are you buying anything? Why are you so polite to your uncle's house?"
As he spoke, Uncle Qin looked behind her, and when he didn't see his mentally ill brother and sister-in-law, he immediately knew that his guess had come true. It seemed that his niece had fallen out with the mentally ill couple.
After all, he had heard Qin Shucai bragging outside several times before, saying things like 'I don't have a daughter who is an actress. If she goes astray, something bad will happen sooner or later. Don't come back to beg me then' and so on. Hearing that made him want to beat up his brother, not to mention how heartbroken Ming Yue must be after hearing that.
Uncle Qin sighed helplessly about this younger brother. He thought that he had been ruined by his great-grandfather. How could the old ideas of that era still be applicable now? But he was already an adult and his ideas were already fixed. They could not be corrected.
The same goes for my brother's wife. It's true that birds of a feather flock together. Not only is my brother stubborn, but my sister-in-law is even more competitive than him, which causes my niece to suffer.
Whenever Uncle Qin thought of the couple's faces in public, he felt even more sorry for his niece. How could she have such parents
But Uncle Qin didn't expose her. He closed the door, put his things away, and said, "Mingyue, please sit down and make yourself at home. Your aunt has gone to buy groceries, and your brothers Zhiming and Zhiqiang, your sister-in-law and nephew are on their way home. The house will be lively soon."
Mingyue smiled and said, "Okay, you go ahead and do your thing. I'll just watch TV."
Uncle Qin said cheerfully, "Okay, I'll peel the garlic first. You can try my cooking skills later to see if I've improved over the years."
Mingyue naturally nodded and said yes, then turned on the TV and started watching.
