rebirth of cataclysm

Chapter 150 The rich have distant relatives in the mountains

"Okay, then I will talk to his family in the next two days." After listening to her husband's words, Liao Hui said knowingly.

"No, no, don't take the initiative to say it. You have to wait for his family to take the initiative to mention it. If you take the initiative to say it, it will look like our family is deliberately blackmailing his family." Jiang Caigui said quickly.

"What does it mean to be like this? Isn't that what we have to do? Get the money earlier and celebrate the New Year with peace of mind. Look what you said, you have to take off your pants when you fart." Liao Hui said disapprovingly.

"I said you are a bitch, you know how to be naive. We can't let people see what we do. There are some things that can be done but cannot be said. Do you understand?" Jiang Caigui?

Seeing Liao Hui looking so blank, she was so angry that she cursed.

Maybe it was because he was so excited that he hurt the wound. After Jiang Caigui cursed, he bared his teeth.

"I really have to be a cousin again and build an archway. I don't understand. You understand, okay? What fool can't see that it's better to just do it?" After being scolded by Jiang Caigui, Liao Hui was not convinced by Jiang Caigui.

Said, "You have to wait for his family to take the initiative. What if his family doesn't take the initiative? Don't you want the money?"

"No? Why not? My injuries are not fake. I fell and many people were watching. If they don't take it, I will stay in the hospital forever. If the health center doesn't work, I will go to the city.

If you go to the hospital, the medical expenses will be paid to him, huh, it depends on who can't bear it." Jiang Caigui said confidently.

It was as if his fall was very reasonable and he was sure to win Hu Mingchen's family.

"That's right... OK, OK, then I'll listen to you."

Here Jiang Caigui and Liao Hui are discussing how to extort money from Hu Mingchen's family, and over there Hu Mingchen's family is also discussing how to handle this matter.

"Jianjun, what do you think we should do? It's almost the Chinese New Year. It's really unlucky to encounter something like this. Why did it fall?" At the ticket booth at the entrance of the cinema, Hu Mingchen sat on a chair inside to watch the movie instead.

Hu Jianqiang, Hu Jianjun and Jiang Yucai were sitting on the bench at the door. Hu Jianjun was smoking, while Jiang Yucai was frowning and restless.

"What can we do? We need to seek medical treatment first. Then I turned around and poured a glass of water to drink, and he fell down." When encountering this kind of thing, Hu Jianjun naturally couldn't be happy. He didn't look at Jiang Yucai.

He said dejectedly.

"How much does it cost to get good treatment?" Jiang Yucai asked again.

"Only the devil knows. I don't know exactly where he was injured now, so how do I know how much it will cost? I'm not worried about the medical expenses now. I'm worried about his family being difficult to talk to." Hu Jianjun threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped on it hard.

Said one kick.

"Are you afraid that his family will ask for more money?"

"You know better than me what kind of virtues Jiang Caigui and Liao Hui have. There are several families in Jiangjiazhai who can relate to his family. It's strange that his family would easily get over it when something like this happens. Just now, Liao

It's not like you can't tell from Hui's attitude and tone," Hu Jianjun said.

"Then who found his family? Why did you find his family in the first place? You should avoid dealing with such people." Hu Mingchen, who was sitting in the pavilion, turned around and said.

"It's almost the Chinese New Year, and it's hard to find people at all. There aren't many people who know how to build houses... I thought of someone from a village in the past, so I asked." Jiang Yucai explained a few words and met Hu Mingchen.

She and Hu Jianjun both stared at her, lowered their heads, and their tone suddenly softened.

After doing it for a long time, it was Jiang Yucai who introduced me, no wonder she cared so much.

"Forget it, whether it's the person you introduced or the person my father found himself, if the problem doesn't happen, it will happen. Just try to solve it." Hu Mingchen sighed.

"What do you think?" Hu Jianjun turned to look at Hu Mingchen and asked.

"My opinion is very simple. If someone is really seriously injured, our family will pay for the medical expenses, and we can treat them as needed. However, we cannot pay compensation. Their family is not here to do free work, but to give money, and that

Jiang Caigui is not a baby, and he himself has to bear part of the responsibility. This is still considering that he is from Jiangjiazhai, otherwise, the medical expenses should be half of the family." Hu Mingchen said his answer after considering it.

"Well, as you said, if our family pays for the medical expenses, it can be regarded as the most benevolent thing." Jiang Yucai immediately nodded in agreement.

Her husband and son have already reached such a consensus, what else does Jiang Yucai have to say? Besides, this price adjustment is indeed acceptable, so she can only express her approval.

It can be seen from the discussions between the two parties that they have no common points of intersection, which makes the resolution of the matter not smooth.

Jiang Caigui lived in the township health center, and Jiang Yucai visited him every day. Unfortunately, Jiang Caigui stayed in the hospital for several days, but his condition did not seem to improve or progress at all.

As soon as Jiang Yucai left, Jiang Caigui became limp and had no energy at all. She either complained of pain here or discomfort there. She went to ask the doctor, but the doctor couldn't give a clear reason.

After winter begins, it will rain occasionally in Duge Township, which makes Duge Township, which has a mostly warm and hot climate all year round, become cooler.

It was drizzling in the sky that day. Although the Chinese New Year was about to come, the streets still seemed a little deserted. In this kind of weather, the business of the cinema would not be very good, so Hu Jianqiang was left alone there, while Hu Mingchen and his family were at home.

Kill the New Year Pig.

Hu Mingchen's family bought their pig from Xu Jinnan's family. It weighs 267 pounds. It's a little small, but it's enough for a family to handle for half a year.

There are two local customs for killing New Year pigs. One is that the day of the killing depends on the zodiac sign. The zodiac sign on the day when the pig is killed cannot be the same as that of a person in the family, otherwise that person will have bad luck in the new year. Here are the key points

In particular, in the local area, there are zodiac signs not only for the lunar year, but also for every day. As for how this zodiac sign was compiled, Hu Mingchen didn’t know. There are related books among the elders in the village, and you can find out by looking through them.

Another custom is that a family kills a pig, and the surrounding neighbors and relatives will volunteer to help, and some even go out as a whole family. On the one hand, this reflects the liveliness and celebration, and on the other hand, of course, it also reflects unity. Men kill the pigs, shave them, wash them, and cut the meat.

Women cook and cook. In addition to home-produced seasonal vegetables, of course there are also tempting things such as pork ribs, blood-rich meat, and fat meat.

Children love the period before the Chinese New Year the most. They can eat delicious food almost every day and can cook without help.

Today, Hu Mingchen's family was particularly busy killing pigs. Except for Liu Chunhua and Hu Mingchen's cousin Hu Xiangxiang, almost everyone else came. Killing the New Year pig was one factor, and his family's building a new house was another factor.

A more important factor is that his family is no longer a family that relies on loans to live on, but has become a small wealthy family that can earn at least several thousand yuan every month.

Political science says that the economic base determines the superstructure. In fact, the economic base also determines interpersonal relationships and social status.

As the ancients said, if you are poor in the busy city and no one cares about you, if you are rich in the mountains you have distant relatives. When Hu Mingchen’s family killed a New Year pig, not only the people around him came, but also his uncle Jiang Yufu and second uncle Jiang Yucheng came from Jiangjiazhai

.This has never happened before.

"Uncle, drink tea, uncle, drink tea." Hu Mingchen brought a cup of tea to Jiang Yufu and Jiang Yucheng respectively and placed it on the wooden stool in front of them.

Almost all the previous furniture in Hu Mingchen's house was destroyed, and the tables and benches used now were all repurchased.

"Xiaochen, where is your mother? Why didn't you see your mother?" Jiang Yufu asked Hu Mingchen as he picked up the teacup.

"My mother went to buy salt. She didn't prepare it before. There are only two bags at home, which are not enough to marinate the meat." Hu Mingchen replied.

"If we had known earlier, we would have brought her, so she wouldn't have to travel so far." Jiang Yufu said generously.

"Haha, thank you, uncle. It's difficult to tell this in advance and I don't have a phone call." Hu Mingchen said with a smile.

Although Hu Mingchen was smiling politely, he did not take it seriously and was not interested in what his uncle Jiang Yufu said.

The reason was simply because in Hu Mingchen’s impression, Jiang Yufu was not such a generous person at all. Before when the three siblings went to their grandmother’s house, it was difficult for Jiang Yufu to ask them to have a meal.

In Hu Mingchen's mind, Jiang Yufu could only say nice things, but was very slow in his actions. Not to mention, Jiang Yufu looked down on Hu Mingchen's family, both covertly and covertly.

"The electricity is not working, let alone talking on the phone." Second uncle Jiang Yucheng echoed.

Jiang Yucheng is the kind of honest person who doesn't talk much. Life at home is tight.

"Electricity should be available in a year or two, and by then there will be telephones and televisions." Hu Mingchen said with a smile.

"I'm afraid that only your family will be able to afford a telephone and TV by then. Those of us who have no way of making money can only afford electric lights." Jiang Yufu joked with a tasteful tone.

"Uncle, look at what you said, making it seem like my family is already rich. It's not like you haven't noticed that the new house is still empty. The walls have only been plastered and the shelves have not been completely removed.

Not to mention that you still have a lot of debt behind you. You are all lighter without debt, right?" Hu Mingchen said with a smile.

"Yes, yes..." Hu Mingchen's decent response made Jiang Yufu feel like he was being choked. He wanted to say something more, but he didn't know where to start.

Hu Mingchen's family is indeed as he said. It seems that it is still very incomplete and still very poor. But there is one thing that Hu Mingchen did not say, but others can also see it. According to the current speed of money coming into his family, so

What is lacking can be made up for quickly. Even if it is money owed to others, it can be paid off at the end of the new year at most.

On the other hand, what other families have now, even in a year or two, it will still be the same if nothing unexpected happens. None of the families who come to his house to join in the fun can live with hundreds of dollars a day, and some even have money all year round.

It's hard to come up with so much cash.

If this were not the case, why would so many people come? Why did Jiang Yufu and Jiang Yucheng come all the way? It was definitely not for a meal. They saw the "unlimited future" of Hu Mingchen's family and came to resolve the relationship.

Okay, maybe there will be a chance to help in the future.
