This sounds a bit strange.
Wulan's cell phone was playing at a very loud volume, and everyone looked at each other in bewilderment - it wasn't that the aunt was unwilling to help. In fact, the aunt was very straightforward and generous by nature. She said whatever she wanted to say and worked diligently. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to get along so well with Song Tan's grandparents for so many years.
But the tone just now sounded as if he was begging for something
So much so that Ulan didn't know whether he should agree or not.
She thought for a moment and asked, "What's wrong, sister-in-law? Isn't your family busy?"
How can you not be busy? I am so busy!
My aunt sighed, "I heard from Wu Fang that Yan Ping is doing well over there and is reluctant to leave. He said he has grown a lot... I think they are all doing farm work. If it is convenient, I will take Wu Lei with me to harvest rice."
"You only have two acres of rice, so you don't have to hire anyone."
Song Tan: …
Zhang Yanping trembled all over—how much hatred and resentment did he have?! He was his own son!
Is harvesting rice something that ordinary people can do? My waist would be broken after a day of work. Why is it so?!
Wu Lan also said in a serious tone: "What are you talking about! We are planning to hire someone to harvest the rice. Is that a job that an ordinary young man can do?"
"Besides, we haven't planted rice for many years. If you ask Wu Lei to harvest rice, aren't you afraid that he will cut his hands? A sickle is not that easy to use."
This may not sound nice, but it is true.
Who doesn't get charged a few bucks when they first start cutting rice? That's the rice cutting wages. Although Song Tan jokingly told her dad that it was 150, if you really hire someone, it would cost at least 200 to 300.
Jokes aside, everyone knows the real price.
Think about it, working in the countryside for two or three hundred yuan a day, can it be an easy job
It’s not that Song Tan looks down on Wu Lei, it’s just that her cousin really can’t do this job.
However, she didn't say anything at this time.
After all, since my aunt said so—
"Did Brother Wu Lei do something again?"
She asked Ulan in a low voice.
As expected, my aunt also complained, "You don't know! I'd rather he just stay in the fields. He's grown up, but he's so weak when it comes to dating a girlfriend. He has no opinion and no responsibility. Is he a man?"
"Just last time he brought that Julie here, the two of them ran to your place without saying hello, and then left without saying hello again - I talked to him about it later, and he was all humming and ahing at the time, and I thought he had come to his senses and become sensible!"
When my aunt talked about this, she trembled with anger.
I thought that since things had gotten to this point, they would definitely break up, right
Who knew that when they arrived in Ningcheng, they somehow got together again! While they were together, they started talking about marriage.
My aunt was about to curse: "... You said that in my life, I am not that good at raising children, but I am also able to let go! How he and his wife live is their business, I don't care - but now they are asking us to pay in full for a house in Ningcheng!"
"Oh my God! How much money do we have in the family? I haven't even collected enough money from Yuncheng, and they dare to ask Ningcheng for the full amount?"
The housing price in Yuncheng is around 7,000 to 8,000 yuan. My aunt is trying her best to save money. Isn’t it because she is afraid that her child will have the pressure of mortgage payment when the time comes
After all, their previous old idea was that money is more secure when it is in hand, and they had no intention of investing in real estate in advance.
In recent years, as I have seen housing prices rising rapidly, I have become more and more afraid to buy a house - it is all hard-earned money, penny by penny, and who would be willing to spend all of it all at once to buy a house
You can say they have no foresight or don't understand investment, this is what most villagers think.
The average house price in Ningcheng is about 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. They are a rural family, not a landlord with thousands of acres of land. Where can they steal money
How can I persuade someone like that? Wouldn't it be like adding fuel to the fire
Wu Lan had no choice but to comfort her: "Don't worry, it's a good thing for a child to want to start a family and start a career, but our family conditions are not good enough for the time being, so you should talk to him properly..."
"Don't worry, how can I not be anxious?!"
My aunt was also extremely anxious:
"I said it in a nice way. I wanted to show him all the bankbooks at home and give him all the savings! Do you know what he said? He went back to discuss it with Lili, and then turned around and said that the full payment was not okay, so let's just pay the down payment!"
"We can borrow money to make the down payment, but how much is his monthly salary? More than 4,000, less than 5,000, and the rest is enough for him to spend with the company's food and accommodation."
"With the down payment, his salary can't even pay the mortgage, so how can he support his family in Hukou?"
"Besides, don't you need to renovate the house after you buy it? After the renovation, don't you have to spend more money to marry a wife? This is totally unrealistic."
"Moreover, in the past few years of working, he never took back a penny. He spent it all lavishly. Does he think that it is easy for me, as a parent, to earn money? I won't give it to him!"
"Wulan, ask Tantan. If it's convenient, I will take him to the fields to harvest rice and let him know how hard it is to make money."
After hearing this, everyone frowned.
Zhang Yanping also frowned - this cousin is already in his twenties or thirties, and his behavior is really hard to agree with.
The last thing he did was a mess, and now he's causing this trouble at his home again - I'm afraid the full payment is fake, and the real idea is to find a way to force the old man to pay.
Song Tan laughed and took the phone: "Aunt, don't worry. Brother Leilei is still young and ignorant. But if you really bring him to the fields to harvest rice for a day or two, he might think that you don't want to take the money and are deliberately making things difficult for him..."
"However, if you really want him to suffer, why not ask him to resign and come work for me? Don't feel bad or give him any money. I'll try to train him."
"It's just that the salary is not high, only two to three thousand yuan a month. Of course, if he is able to bring me other orders and find connections, he can also get extra commissions like Brother Yanping, and earn a lot."
“It’s just that his salary is gone, which is a pity.
My aunt is not incapable of making a decision: "What's the pity? If you really can't bear to part with the salary, he will break up our family in the future."
After raising a son for decades, you can’t become an enemy just for buying a house!
She made a prompt decision: "Okay, I'll tell him later! I'll work honestly for you for a full year, and then I won't go there, see you, or contact you—"
"After working for him for a year, if he still has this idea, I will give him the money to pay for the down payment! As for the mortgage, let him figure it out himself."
As for work…
My aunt originally praised her son, saying that it was good enough as long as he had gained experience.
Now he finally said something stern: "Who can't do his job? He'll be at the same level even if he works for another 10 years. If you want to quit, then quit. There's nothing to regret."
Yunqiao Village is even more remote than theirs. There is no express delivery or takeout. The best thing they can do is play games. Food and accommodation are free. Maybe they can save 20,000 yuan in a year!
