356. Brother and sister

Meng Zimei and her third brother, Meng Ziming, live in the county seat, and their residences are only a 20-minute walk away. But these years, their relationship has been cold, they rarely communicate, and there are no major conflicts.

Now Meng Zimei, who is lonely and cold, thinks of her third brother, and hopes to improve her relationship with her third brother who lives close to her. This is her only relative in this world! So she called Meng Ziming with anticipation.

When the phone call was made, Meng Zimei said directly: "Third brother, I'm divorced." As soon as Meng Zimei's words came out, her voice choked up.

The county is so big and there are only so many people. If there is a troublesome thing, everyone in the county will know it in an instant. Of course Meng Ziming knew about the recent events at his sister's house. As brothers and sisters, there is sympathy, but their brothers and sisters seldom move around, and Meng Ziming doesn't express much, because he knows his sister very well, and if he expresses sympathy for her when she is in trouble, she may not only not Thank you, I thought he was gloating!

But now his younger sister called him, and wept bitterly as soon as he opened his mouth. He could only comfort him and say, "I've heard about what happened in your family, hey! It's such an old age, and what happened to your child again? Did you choose this path? Do you want me to persuade Zhang Zhou that you should get back together again? It’s okay. Now many people get divorced on the spur of the moment, and regret it after divorce, so there are many people who remarry. Everyone I can understand."

"Others divorced impulsively because of a quarrel. We are different. It is impossible for Zhang Zhou to change his mind."

Meng Zimei went to see her daughter yesterday and met Zhang Zhou. After his divorce, he didn’t become depressed and haggard as quickly as she did. Instead, he was full of energy. Meng Zimei quietly asked her daughter if Zhang Zhou had a new partner. The daughter shook her head affirmatively and said absolutely not. If he really didn't have a new partner, but was so radiant, it meant that divorcing her would be a happy thing for him, so the possibility of their reunion is almost zero. This is also where Mencius's sense of beauty adds to his loss and depression.

"It doesn't matter if you don't get back together. There are a lot of divorced people now. This kind of thing is also very normal. If you meet someone who is suitable, you will find another one, and your life will not go on as usual."

"Third brother, I bought an old house on Wenhua Road to live alone. If you have time, come and sit."

Meng Ziming said perfunctorily, "Okay, if I have time, I'll go over to see your new home."

"The house is an old second-hand house, and I lived in it without decoration. When I bought the house, I didn't have enough money, so I borrowed some. So I just made do with it."

Meng Ziming has been wondering,

It is impossible for his younger sister to call him for no reason, and now he has heard some clues, and quickly explained: "Xiaomei, look, I just bought a car last month, and I still owe 70,000 to 80,000 yuan loan, so I can’t help you much.”

"Third brother, although I don't have enough money to buy a house, I borrowed a provident fund loan, and I didn't borrow much. It was 50,000 yuan. I can pay it back slowly. I can afford it, so I called You are not trying to borrow money from you."

"Then what other business do you have?" Mencius asked.

"You are my elder brother, the only family member I have here, so why can't I call you if I have nothing to do?" Meng Zimei said disappointedly.

Meng Ziming still couldn't believe that his sister would call him if there was nothing to do. This is never the case.

"Oh!" Meng Ziming didn't know what to say next.

Meng Zimei suddenly felt dull. So many things happened in his family. As an older brother, he ignored him. Now he calls him to talk to him. He only hopes to have someone to talk to, and hope to get a loved one. A little consolation, but the third brother has always been on guard from beginning to end, and the relationship between brother and sister has disappeared. It is ridiculous that she naively wants to maintain and improve their relationship.

Both fell silent for a moment.

"Then what do you want to tell me?" Meng Ziming sensed Meng Zimei's abnormality, and said carefully.

"I want to talk about our brothers and sisters, why have we become like this these years? You can see that the brothers and sisters of other people's families have a very good relationship, and our family, compared to the village, we are considered to be a good family, but because Disunity, now..."

"After each of them got married, they couldn't take care of themselves, so they had less contact. Isn't that how the relationship faded?" Meng Ziming, affected by his sister's emotions, also said with emotion.

"No, it was us who hurt the second brother's heart first, so he broke off with us. Now that I think about it, we did too much at that time. The second brother used to treat us with all his heart and soul, but we are in his When I was sick, I only cared about myself... Besides, we were so mad at my mother, third brother, do you think the result of me and elder brother is retribution!" During this period, Mencius thought of this question many times.

Mencius Mei’s words made Mencius very uncomfortable. If what happened to his elder brother and younger sister was retribution, then wouldn’t he also be retribution, because he also suffered from the illness of his second brother just like his elder brother and younger sister? When I abandoned it, I also pissed off my mother to death.

This younger sister, her own life is bad, only because of her own stupidity, saying that it is because of retribution, isn't this cursing him in a different way?

Meng Ziming's tone turned cold in an instant, "Brother is because he is greedy and took money that he shouldn't have, and you are because of natural disasters and man-made disasters, what kind of retribution is this, don't talk nonsense, it's getting late, you should rest quickly, don't If you think about it any more, everything will pass.”

"Third brother, the second brother has really become hard-hearted. The eldest brother has suffered such a catastrophe, and he didn't express it. My family's affairs are making such a big commotion, and there are turmoil on the Internet all over the country, so he doesn't move. Sensual..."

"Xiaomei, there is a saying that you can be strong without desire. The second brother severed relations with us many years ago. He just didn't want to associate with poor relatives like us anymore. He was afraid that we would take advantage of him. But why don't you and your eldest brother give up? After sniffing your nose so many times, you still can’t see clearly, and you still go to him to beg him, why bother to find fault for yourself?”

"Second brother, he..."

"Don't say it, don't say it, he has already severed ties with us, why do you always mention him? Xiaomei, although you are divorced, you have a monthly salary and can live without relying on others, so he Don't admit it, don't admit it, it's a big deal, don't think too much, just like this, let's rest!" After Meng Ziming finished speaking, he hung up the phone impatiently.

Ma Yuting has been listening to her husband's phone calls with her ears upright, and she has heard most of what the two brothers and sisters said. At this time, she worriedly said: "Your sister is right, are big brother and Xiaomei really retribution? The retribution is too miserable, right?"

Meng Ziming scolded his wife with wide eyes, "What retribution? Are you talking nonsense?"

Ma Yuting also felt a slip of the tongue, others said she wanted to scold her! She said it herself, and she quickly "bah" a few times, "We don't always go to Meng Zijun like them, how hard is Meng Zijun! He came back to life after dying a few times, we can't mess with him." Get up and hide." (To be continued.) To find this site, please search for "" or enter the URL:
