My Side Job is a Trader

Uncle Zhang Zhongyu's son, Zhang Xin's cousin Zhang Guiming said at the right time: "I won't be able to give birth to your brother. I will give birth early, and even if I do, I won't be able to support him anymore."

What Zhang Guiming said is true. It costs a lot to raise a boy now. Although Zhang Zhongyu’s family is much better off than Zhang Xin’s family before they developed, but after all, they are getting older, and raising another child is unavoidable. Moreover, Zhang Zhongyu and his wife are not in good health. Well, I can't do without medicine, so I don't have so much spare money to raise children.

Speaking of Zhang Guiming, I have to mention an extremely unreliable thing he once did, that is, he actually had a biological daughter. As a result, when he divorced, he did not choose to have a child. Later, I heard that his daughter Even the surname has been changed, plus the long-term no contact, basically his daughter doesn't recognize him now.

Although he later married again, he married a second marriage with a child. It is said that when his uncle Zhang Zhongyu heard the news, he was so angry that he went to the hospital.

Later, as he got older, the possibility of having children became smaller and smaller, until now he has no hope.

He Cuizhen had also told Zhang Xin in private that his unreliable cousin would let his own daughter go, and instead helped others raise their non-biological daughters. Normal people would not be able to do such a stupid thing.

Zhang Xin doesn't care about these things, he just listens to them, and it's none of his business anyway.

"Brother, whoever keeps the genealogy is the patriarch. This is the default. Dad's house is the long house. Now you have descendants in your family. According to the rules of the ancestors, you should be the patriarch. Otherwise, the two The younger generations of the grandfather's family are about to take away the position of the patriarch. In recent years, the second grandfather's line has not known what kind of shit luck, they have made a fortune one after another. name."

Zhang Zhongyu saw that Zhang Xin was quite reticent, and Zhang Xin was indeed not familiar with them, so he had to persuade Zhang Boyu to let Zhang Xin take over the position of patriarch.

Zhang Xin's aunt, Zhang Dachun, also said at the right time: "That's right, brother, as the eldest son of the eldest son, you are the next patriarch by default. It's just that you haven't been at home for so many years, and the second and third grandpas have already had a lot of opinions about it. They even came separately from us during the Nian ancestor worship, and now we finally have a Zhang Xin in our house, that is a matter of glory, and they can only be convinced when your family is the head of the family."

Zhang Xin glanced at Zhang Boyu and saw that he seemed to be hesitant, so he simply said: "Dad, you can decide what to do. After all, you may still have feelings for our family. I am different. I grew up alone since childhood. I don’t care about the patriarchs and elders you mentioned.”

"Hey? This child, how can you say that? After all, you are also surnamed Zhang, and the blood of the Zhang family is flowing on your body. Our blood relationship cannot be erased."

Zhang Guiming quickly criticized Zhang Xin.

Seeing that Zhang Boyu was still hesitating, Zhang Xin felt a little uncomfortable when he heard Zhang Guiming's words, and said lightly: "Since you still know that our family is also a member of the Zhang family, why didn't you help us when our family encountered difficulties? I When my mother talked to me about this, she would cry unconsciously, and she said that she was really desperate at that time, and she hoped that someone could help her."

Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhang Xin went on to say: "If our family is still living in poverty like in the past, you will also support the handing over of the position of patriarch to our family? Go. Although I am not the kind of person who only cares about benefits, I am not a saint either. Even if our house gives up the position of patriarch, it has nothing to do with our family. The main responsibility lies with Grandpa, who caused his The children of the family were not united, and someone took the opportunity to take the patriarch away."

Zhang Xiaochun said: "Zhang Xin, don't complain, we also know that your family has suffered a lot of grievances in the past, but at that time, after all, your grandpa was still there, and your grandpa was an unshakable master. How could we dare to fight with you?" He’s against it? Now that he’s been dead for so many years, we don’t need to blame him anymore.”

Zhang Zhongyu sighed, and said: "I don't know if there is a problem with the feng shui of the ancestral grave. In recent years, the family of the second and third uncles has been prosperous, and they are all prosperous. Our long house is not satisfactory. What's worse is that there were not many people in the first place, and now there is only Zhang Xin, the only one left. Since Zhang Xin doesn't want to be the patriarch, then let's hand it over, so that my cousins ​​won't forget it all day long."

Just when everyone was in a stalemate, a family of three suddenly came in outside the door.

"Yo, they're all here! Hello grandma, uncles and aunts."

Seeing Zhang Boyu's family, these people hesitated for a moment, Zhang Zhongyu reminded: "This is my elder brother's family."

Several people hurriedly said: "Hello, uncle, hello, aunt."

Then he looked at Zhang Xin and said, "This is the cousin Zhang Xin that we have never met before, right? Hello little cousin."

Zhang Boyu's family has not been at home for a long time, so they feel a little strange to these juniors. Zhang Zhongyu introduced: "This is the son and daughter-in-law of Zhang Qiuyu's family, and that is their son."

Zhang Boyu sighed: "The grandsons of Zhang Qiuyu's family are all so old, if I hadn't met them today, I really wouldn't have recognized them."

Zhang Guisheng said: "Uncle, you haven't been at home for many years. I only remember seeing you when I was a child, but I never saw you again after that."

Zhang Guisheng's wife, Jiao Changli, hurriedly asked her son to greet everyone in the New Year.

He Cuizhen was also very happy, took out the red envelope she had prepared, and said, "It's so good, it's the first time we meet, I'll give you a big red envelope."

Now that the red envelopes were given, the other unmarried juniors would naturally be indispensable, and He Cuizhen was very generous this time, each red envelope was worth 1,000 yuan, which was a very large red envelope in this area.

Of course, everyone did not open the red envelopes in public, this was also out of politeness and rules.

Zhang Guisheng then took out thousands of dollars to Grandma Zhang Xin on the spot, and said: "Grandma, this is a little thought from our family. You can buy more delicious food instead of cheap ones. Eat well to be healthy for your body." good."

Zhang Guisheng's family probably sat there for 20 to 30 minutes before leaving.

Zhang Boyu asked, "Do they give Mom so much pocket money every year?"

Grandma said: "Several juniors from the second and third families come to visit me every year, and they will give me some pocket money."

Zhang Dachun said: "Brother, look, they are not short of money now. No one in our house has ever given pocket money to the uncles and the third uncles. Now they are gone. The only one left in the older generation is our mother." , people come to visit every year, which has won them a lot of good reputation."

Zhang Zhongyu said: "It's not because I want to please my mother, I want to take away the position of patriarch!"

"But they did give out real money, everyone is watching this."

Zhang Zhongyu snorted twice, obviously not confident enough to refute.
