Chapter 694: Chapter 685: Some Rejoice While Others Grieve
After talking for a long time, Su Qing finally expressed what was in his heart.
The reason he said that we should contact each other less, rather than saying our two families should contact each other less, was to leave some room for old Su and his mother.
This is the trouble with relatives. Sometimes, you’re annoyed to death inside, but you still have to put on a façade. Sometimes you’re clearly in the right, but if you say something, others will criticize you.
If everyone were reasonable, it wouldn’t come to this, but if you think you’re always right, you can’t blame others.
Reality isn’t like a TV drama; few people endure grievances without pushing back and just accept them. Everyone lives their own life; who’s going to indulge you?
We’re all relatives. If the family really encounters something serious, as long as it’s legitimate, can he not help out? If someone in the family is sick in the hospital, or even if it’s about a son getting married and there’s no money, he would help with such issues.
But you can’t come to him for every trivial matter. Gambling debts, online loans, your family can’t repay, others don’t lend you money, and somehow it becomes their fault. What kind of strange relatives are these?
Also, if you borrow money, just borrow money. Don’t have ulterior motives. If you really encounter difficulties and urgently need money, as long as you live steadily afterward, even if you can’t repay in the short term, he wouldn’t mind. But if you start with ulterior motives, he similarly doesn’t want to help; he finds it disgusting.
What he said was not only rejecting his aunt’s family but also directed at his elder aunt.
Our family is doing okay now, but we’re not fools, don’t have any crooked thoughts.
"Xiao Qing, Xiao Qing, your aunt didn’t mean it that way, don’t misunderstand!" Watching the two of them drive away, Lin Jianguo called out twice, feeling irritated, then turned back abruptly and shouted loudly at his wife:
"Is that how you talk? Where is your brain? Our family is the one asking for help. Now that they’ve helped us, you still criticize them, offending them for no reason. What were you thinking? Now it’s a mess. There’s no money for our son, and our daughter can’t wait. What are you going to do now?"
Su Qing’s sudden outburst caught everyone off guard, especially since it wasn’t in private; Hao Ren’s parents were there.
Everyone is from the hometown, with no close relatives. When they return home and word gets out, how can his family continue living? Who would dare to work with his family, who would dare to lend them money?
This help didn’t end well, not to mention, they even got blamed. Borrowing money, borrowing money... Someone lends your family ten thousand, non-refundable, and you’re still not satisfied. Hearing this, anyone would instinctively distance themselves from his family.
If they want to borrow money again, it would be like ascending to the heavens because no one wants their goodwill to be seen as nothing and then bitten back.
Hearing this, Ju Xiu also panicked, and Lin Shanshan was so angry she stomped her feet. Her matters here were not resolved yet, and with this turn of events, her online loans would explode, and then, forget about marriage, she might really end up in jail.
"Mom, Dad is right. How could you say that? Now we’re stuck, neither here nor there."
"No... that’s not, I didn’t mean that" As she spoke, she slapped her thigh: "Why is Xiao Qing so easily angered? I just said a few casual words, and you refuse. Is there a need to say such things? Elder sister, what do we do now? Perhaps, could you go with me to Xiao Qing’s house to talk?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Hong sneered inwardly. Trying to rope her in? She’s not going to get involved in this mess.
She could clearly see from the sidelines that her nephew was not someone to be trifled with. Even though he didn’t say much last night, how could she not understand that they were annoyed at her for bringing people home uninvited?
At that time, she was clouded with pigheadedness, meddling needlessly, and looking at Su Qing’s behavior just now made her anxious. She thought to herself that her eldest nephew was formidable; even if they were relatives, he didn’t give any face.
Plus, given her relationship with her sister, she wasn’t sure how much face she had with Su Qing. After all, they hadn’t met much since they were young and weren’t close.
"No, no, I have to go back to handle some things. Hao Ren’s dad, everything is about settled, you should hurry back, prepare money, and quickly get the person out!"
"Got it, sister-in-law! I’ll go prepare now!"
"Thanks to you, sister-in-law, this matter would’ve been difficult without your concern!"
The couple hurriedly thanked Zhou Hong because, after all, they weren’t familiar with the Su Family.
After speaking, the three left, leaving only the three members of the Lin Family standing there, glaring at each other.
Was the matter resolved? It was resolved, at least they knew what to do, but without money, it was resolved, but not completely. Not only that, they owed a favor and offended others.
The only gain might be the free receipt of ten thousand yuan and knowing how to get the son out.
Ten thousand yuan isn’t a small amount, but for their family right now, it’s just a drop in the bucket.
Neither the son nor daughter is worry-free; each carries a big problem.
"Mom, it’s all your fault, otherwise cousin might have helped me. As for Lin Hu, let him stay in there. I never want to see him again. Better if he rots inside!"
Lin Shanshan spoke the most poisonous words to her closest people, then stomped her foot, turned, and left.
Originally, her plan for today was going well and almost succeeded, but her mother came out and ruined everything.
"Oh, my heavens, what do I do now? I’ve always believed in ’when one person makes it, everyone around them rises,’ but our family? Others have started to disdain us poor relatives, oh my heavens~~"
Ju Xiu slapped her thigh and began to wail loudly, and Lin Jianshe suddenly shouted in anger: "Stop shouting, Shanshan is right, it’s all your fault, you turned a good thing into a bad one. Is the Su Hongye family close to ours? Little Su barely met us a few times; why’d you say such things?"
Do you think just because they’re successful, they owe our family benefits?
And also, you secretly gave him money. No wonder he left home once he lost money because it was you, his mother, supporting him from behind. You sure are something; you’re really a good mother — a loving mother often raises a ruined child!"
Hearing this, Ju Hong immediately disagreed: "What do you mean, Lin Jianshe? Blame it all on me? Have you ever disciplined the kids as their father? When the house was demolished, I said keep one house, buy another, and wait for it to appreciate, and you insisted on keeping the money. Look what happened, years without a proper job, living off savings. How dare you criticize me?"
"Who are you saying is living off savings?"
"Saying you!"
"I’ll beat you, you shameless!"
"I’ll fight you!"
As they quarreled, the couple started to physically fight right at the entrance of the detention center. In the end, it was the police who came out to separate the two.
Finally, the couple parted ways at the entrance of the detention center, disappearing without a trace.
