Over the years, he has made no contribution to the development of the village and has even taken advantage of his seniority to bully others.
Many villagers in the village actually have a lot of complaints about him.
Young people are all running to the city. After some young people go out and have a look around, they find it boring to stay outside and want to return to their hometown to develop themselves.
After taking a walk around, the villagers' horizons were greatly broadened, and they gave some constructive suggestions to the village party secretary.
For example, instead of always planting corn, sorghum and wheat, you can set aside some land to grow more valuable cash crops.
But this matter was strongly opposed by Wei's father. Growing crops is the foundation of farmers, so how can they think of crooked ways
Later, some young people suggested that we set aside some mountains that had been hit by fire to plant fruit trees. Anyway, those mountains were relatively barren and no vegetation had grown on them until now.
But Wei's father still disagreed. His reason was that growing fruit trees was not so easy to produce, and if the skills were not up to par, all the money would be lost.
Therefore, he doesn’t allow people to try, lest they have to blame him if they lose money.
Later, some villagers raised some suggestions, but Wei's father still did not accept any of them. He even required all the villagers to follow his steps.
Otherwise, he would scold you terribly.
What you mean is that I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. Young man, don't be too ambitious and think that you can become the best in the world just by hanging out for a few days.
So, when the fact that the Wei family favored boys over girls and did not allow their daughter to go to college was exposed, some people immediately found a breakthrough point.
Someone immediately reported the matter to the county, and later two small characters were sent by the county to conduct ideological education for the villagers.
The official position was not high-ranking, but it scared Wei's father so much that he dared not say a word.
Wei Qiang certainly knew his father's temper. Over the years, he had offended many people in the village.
In his opinion, it is a good thing for the development of the village that his father no longer serves as the village party secretary.
"Easier?" Father Wei was even angrier. "I have been doing this for decades, how can I just give it up
Others are still getting pensions after retirement, but your father was fired, how can it be the same
I was counting on that pension to support my retirement, but now, not only have I lost my pension, but I am also being gossiped about and criticized by others.”
Father Wei became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and couldn't help but take out his homemade pipe and prepare to light a cigarette.
"Dad, there are children here! If you want to smoke, go to the balcony." Wei Xiang stopped him in time.
This obstruction made Wei's father so angry that he vomited blood, "Your father can't even smoke a cigarette freely
You all ran away one by one and no longer care about me and my mother.
"You guys have grown wings and no longer take your parents seriously, right?"
Father Wei became angrier and angrier as he spoke. He threw his pipe on the coffee table, gasped heavily, his beard trembling, and he was so angry that he was out of breath.
For a moment, no one in the living room spoke. Mother Wei patted the back of the angry father Wei's hand and said, "Now, we are all old, and your father will not get a pension in the future.
What to do with the two old guys
You raised so many kids, you can’t just leave us to starve.”
Now the sisters all understood what they meant. It was nothing more than the issue of elderly care, which the children had to solve.
"Mom, do I need to say this? My house is your house. You should just stay in the city and not go back. I just happen to feel very lonely." Wei Qiang spoke up in time.
In his opinion, sons should be responsible for their parents' retirement.
Over the years, he has been working hard towards that goal, hoping to bring his parents to the city to live there in their old age.
Later, he finally bought a house and had some spare money.
So last year, he mentioned this matter when he returned home, but his father just couldn't give up his position as village party secretary, so of course he didn't agree.
It just so happens that my dad no longer has the job of village official, so they should agree.
But, unexpectedly, Wei Qiang's proposal once again made Wei's father furious, "Come to the city and live with you
Your house is not even as big as the pigpen at home. How do you live in it
Don’t you plan to get married and have children
When we get married and have children, where will you let us live?"
"Let's talk about the future later. When I have money, I can buy a bigger one." Wei Qiang replied with a worried look.
For a rural kid with no roots, if he can buy a small house after moving to the city and working hard for a few years, it is already very good.
But my dad still complained that the house he bought was too small.
I don't have any sense of accomplishment at all, and I feel really helpless.
"Will you be rich in the future? You are still in debt now!
You are aiming too high!" Wei's father said unhappily.
"So what are you going to do?" Wei Qiang was at a loss, "Your son only has this much money, he can only buy such a small house.
Do you think living in the city is like living in the countryside
Land is very expensive here! A small place to live is enough, how big can it be?”
Mother Wei was distressed when she saw her son in trouble, "Qiangzi, you are almost 30 years old, it's time for you to find a woman to have a baby!
You are the only heir of the Wei family! You must give birth to a son to carry on the Wei family's legacy!
You will have a heavy burden in the future, and your parents don't want to add to your burden.
If we follow you, you won't be able to save any money.
It will be even more difficult to start a family in the future.
Girls nowadays are very picky. They won’t even consider a man who has no money or is burdened with too much burden.
Mom and Dad don’t want to cause you any more trouble.”
Then Wei's mother turned her gaze to Bai Chen and said presumptuously, "Juanzi, it's not easy for you to take care of a child alone, without even a helper.
Mom can help take care of it for you. The house you bought is big, so your dad and I will live with you.
Qiangzi can just come over to see us from time to time."
Bai Chen had never had any hope for Wei Juan's parents, so she was not very angry when they made such a request.
It just feels so funny that they actually took it for granted that Wei Juan would accept them without any reservations and even live with them.
"So this is what you think! Sorry, a daughter who is married off is like water spilled." Bai Chen leaned back on the sofa and refused coldly.
"What's your attitude?" Mother Wei frowned and gritted her teeth, not showing any kindness at all. "If you hadn't spread rumors everywhere, would your father's pension have been lost
This is your fault.
Besides, we are not here to eat for free, I still have to help you take care of the baby."
Bai Chen laughed in his heart. There are such parents in the world. He was speechless.
"Do you think I'm talking nonsense?" Bai Chen's eyes were filled with a bit of hostility, "You favor boys over girls, and you are biased to no limit.
Isn't that true
I was admitted not to an ordinary university, but to the Imperial Capital University, which is one of the best in the country.
You can go and ask around, how many people can pass the exam in the entire provincial capital every year
But you, with your hearts of stone and cruel to the extreme, refused to let me go.
Have I wronged you?"
"Did your family have money at that time?" Wei's father was so angry at Bai Chen that he blew his beard. Thinking back to the scene at that time, his whole old face turned red.
He was very ruthless at that time and said whatever unpleasant things he could.
"As a girl, why do you need to study so much? The Wei family can only support one college student. There is nothing they can do about it."
