Chapter 318 Little Tomorrow and Her Soldier Brother (43)
The youngest son's compromise brought the matter to an end.
After all, the money is gone, and they can’t really “beat the child to death”!
As for the eldest daughter Xu Xiaowei, she returned home in shame within a month.
The reason was simple: she had no money.
She was used to a life without burdens, but when she got out there, she found out that accommodation cost money, meals cost money, and even buying a bottle of water cost money.
The two months' salary compensated by the company, and the remaining amount after paying off last month's credit card, was not enough for her expenses.
A few days ago, she had no other choice but to look for someone who recycles luxury bags as she could not even afford the meals.
As a result, the man looked at the three bags again and again and concluded that one was fake and two were real.
Those two are really not in very good condition, they are used frequently and are quite worn out.
The most important thing is that Xu Xiaowei never thought about selling these bags at that time, so the original packaging boxes, cloth bags and so on are no longer available.
After hesitating for a while, she sold a bag with a relatively higher recycling price.
But the two or three thousand yuan I earned was only enough to cover temporary expenses.
The economy was in recession during that time and it was hard to find a job. Plus, she was quite picky, so she ended up returning home.
At least at home, accommodation and food are free.
When Xu's parents saw their eldest daughter coming back, they scolded her harshly.
Adopt the same policy as for the younger son - as long as there is change, they will accept it.
The problem with the parents was resolved, but the feud between the siblings was still formed.
Each of them thought that the other had made the complaint, and for a while they could only maintain a harmonious relationship on the surface, but secretly they were very "tense".
Time flies, and several months have passed in the blink of an eye.
As the Chinese New Year was approaching and seeing that her youngest son Xu Songze would have winter vacation in a few days, Xu's mother remembered that her second daughter Xu Youwei should also have vacation.
"Youwei, when is your holiday?" Xu's mother took time out to call Xu Youwei that day, "Remember to buy your train ticket early and come back as soon as the holiday starts."
After hearing this, Xu Youwei's first reaction was, could it be that the distance caused longing, and her mother missed her too?
But as soon as this thought came to her mind, Xu Youwei shook her head and advised herself not to dream.
really
Xu's mother's next words completely confirmed this point: "The New Year is coming soon, and the family is very busy, cleaning, preparing New Year's dishes, your father and I are busy at work, and we still need you to take care of the family affairs."
"What about the eldest sister?" Xu Youwei suddenly asked, "I seemed to hear you say last time that she was unemployed and hasn't found a job yet."
"Who isn't?" Xu's mother didn't understand the real meaning of Xu Youwei's words at all, and started her usual complaints, "I even interviewed with several companies, but she didn't get a reply. Now she stays at home every day and doesn't go out.
And your brother, his performance during this period is really..."
"Mom, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up first." Xu Youwei interrupted the other end, "Also, I'm not going home for the New Year this year, so you don't have to keep any food for me, and you don't have to prepare a room for me."
"What do you mean? You're not going home for the New Year. Where are you living?" Mother Xu seemed a little unbelieving what she heard.
Xu Youwei curled her lips and looked sarcastic, but the people on the other side of the phone couldn't see it. She said slowly, "I need to earn a living! The salary for part-time jobs during the Chinese New Year is very high, and I have already found a place.
So I won’t go back to celebrate the New Year, and you and your family should enjoy your life.”
This sounded a bit awkward, but Xu's mother did not refute her words, and said happily: "Really? Then you should work hard and try to earn enough living expenses for the next semester."
Xu Youwei only said: "I understand."
He hung up the phone.
Fortunately, she has gotten used to it and will no longer waste her feelings and energy on these unimportant "pebbles".
Thinking of this, Xu Youwei couldn't help but think of Gu Yanxi who went on a mission last month.
This silly girl was afraid that she would go hungry, so she secretly added one thousand yuan to her meal card before leaving S City.
He also asked Mother-in-law Yu to give him the key to his house, under the pretext of asking her to help look after the house.
"Xu girl! My son and his family will be back during the Chinese New Year, so you can't live in this room for the time being." Grandma Yu said apologetically, "Gu Lian is out on a mission, so you can stay at his house and show him the house.
Anyway, his house is just across from mine, so you can still tell me if you have anything to say. By the way, I heard from Gu Lian that if you don’t go back home for the New Year, then remember to come to my house for dinner. The New Year’s Eve dinner is more lively when there are more people eating.”
"Thank you, mother-in-law!" Xu Youwei didn't have any grudges about the room. After all, she only paid two months' rent.
But later, because she only lived there for more than a month during the summer vacation, Grandma Yu insisted that she stay at her house on weekends, Sundays, and holidays when school was out, saying that she wanted to make up for the two months.
In fact, she knew that the two elderly people in the Yu family didn't need the rent at all, they just felt a little lonely.
