Quick Wear: I'm Really Not a Scumbag

Chapter 367: Honest People Should Live Their Own Lives (3)

Chen Zhaodi was quite excited when she heard this, but by the time she finally realized what was happening, most of the food on the table had been eaten by Chen Xuyan.

He really looks like a starving ghost, his eating habits are so ugly!

He was able to finish so much food by himself, while his family could only barely finish the whole table.

Chen Xuyan pushed his glasses up and said shyly, "The school cafeteria doesn't have any oil or water. I finally had something so good to eat this time, so I couldn't help but eat a little too much."

This time I was really full.

Chen Zhaodi smiled awkwardly, "It's okay."

Being so poor, it seems like there is no hope, but Wanying has high standards and she doesn't like those with poor education or ugly looks.

My son likes her, but this is absolutely impossible.

No one knows whose bastard child she is pregnant with, and their family cannot raise a child for someone else.

If it weren't for the relationship between the two families, and if Xie Wanying didn't have the capital, she would have never seen anyone prettier than her.

I was originally thinking of cheating the Chen family, but is there really no hope?

She looked at Chen Xuyan again, unwilling to give up. "Your grandfather has no money? The family still has more than ten acres of land and several residential plots."

"We can still get some if we gather together." Although the land is not valuable anymore, it will definitely be enough if we add the money they have invested.

The old man is an old worker in a brick factory. He is now in his seventies and his retirement salary should have increased to two or three thousand.

The two of them also planted more than ten acres of land, so it should not be difficult to harvest 20,000 to 30,000 yuan every year.

According to their personalities, the money would definitely go to Chen Xuyan in the end. As for the other children, they would definitely not get a share. Only the ones they raised with their own hands would be considered worthy.

Chen Xuyan sneered in his heart. The two old people did give the money to Chen Xuyan later because they knew that he was not living well in the city and had no money.

"You don't know, grandma had a craniotomy two years ago, which cost tens of thousands of dollars at once. Almost all the money she saved in her early years was spent, and the remaining money was only used to carve a tombstone later." Chen Xuyan was a little embarrassed.

"Farming is not easy now. Just breaking even is enough. Grandpa is ready to rent out his land to others. He only gets 300 to 500 yuan in rent a year. I can't afford to do it anymore."

He sighed, "If I get seriously ill, it's not worth it, don't you think?"

Chen Zhaodi was happy to hear about their miserable lives. She hoped that they would all fall ill and die, or become hated old things.

More than half of the cost was reimbursed by the rural medical insurance. I bought and carved the stele from an acquaintance and didn't charge any money.

But how could Chen Zhaodi know all this? She had not lived in the countryside for a long time, and all she knew now was what she heard from others.

"By the way, I forgot that you didn't know about your hometown. After all, you haven't been back for so many years." You heartless and ungrateful dog, you didn't even go back to see your own parents when they were sick.

Chen Zhaodi felt a little embarrassed when she heard this. "I'm busy. I really haven't been doing my best over the years. I will definitely send them two sets of clothes this year, or you can bring them back for me when the time comes."

He is about to die. If I don’t send something to let the villagers know, I will definitely be scolded when I go back to visit the grave. I have to pretend now.

Chen Xuyan nodded. "Grandpa and grandma both wear loose, oversized clothes now. It's cold in the village, and now that they're old, they don't like to move around, so they definitely need to wear plenty of inner clothes."

"It's better to buy black. Black is stain-resistant. I think buying them two black extreme cold series goose down jackets will be enough. They will definitely like them." Now that I have said it, of course I have to buy two good ones.

Chen Xuyan scratched his head. "I don't really understand. I just heard it from Aunt Guo next door, the one who came to S City with you to work. She bought this for the grandfather next door for Chinese New Year last year."

Chen Zhaodi's face turned grim. Chen Guo had returned to his hometown? Reconciled with his family? No wonder he'd ignored her in the past few years.

"Don't worry, I will definitely buy good things for them, kid." Her heart was bleeding, but she still said it.

"Also, you don't need to add so many clothes under a good down jacket. It's not a cotton jacket, it's warm enough." There was a sneer in her eyes.

She will have to look for Chen Guo again in a few days. She also found a man to marry in S City, but her life is much better than hers.

"Alas, you mean well, but I really don't have the conditions to marry such a good girl. With my conditions, one person can feed the whole family. If I want to buy a house and a car in S City, it will take a long time, not to mention the bride price!" Chen Xuyan began to complain about God's injustice to him again.

After graduating from graduate school, I couldn't even find a good job because of my introverted personality, so I could only work as a counselor in school.

Chen Zhaodi grew happier the more she listened, even forgetting to suggest he get the betrothal gift from somewhere else. "You still have a long life ahead of you, but you're right. It's really not easy to gain a foothold in S City. Unless you're a local like us who own a house, for those of you who come from other places, renting a house alone will drain all your money."

"What's most in demand right now is people with academic qualifications. Academic qualifications will become less valuable as time goes by. Graduates will eventually be forced to work as street sweepers or food delivery drivers. My son won't have that. We own a house in S City and have some connections."

"He has great potential and will explode soon!" Chen Zhaodi became more and more confident. The more she praised her son, who was usually not very impressive.

Chen Xuyan nodded, not quite understanding, "Indeed."

"Hey, but this girl is so good, why didn't you introduce her to your cousin? The two families know each other well, and this girl is so outstanding, it's better not to let this girl go to outsiders." He looked at Chen Zhaodi expectantly, waiting for her to tell lies.

These words sounded sarcastic, but Chen Xuyan's expression was very serious.

Chen Zhaodi was stunned for a moment, opened her mouth, and thought for a moment before saying, "Alas, it's because they know each other too well, like brother and sister, and can't develop any other feelings."

"If I don't give it to my own home, then I can only send it to someone else's home. After thinking about it, I decided to introduce it to you. After all, you are also a graduate student from a prestigious university." She was a little hungry, but looking at the leftovers on the table, she really couldn't pick up her chopsticks.

She was reluctant to order it again.

This guy, is he doing this on purpose? Chen Zhaodi quickly dismissed this idea. How could he be so cunning? He is just an ordinary person who has never seen the world.

"Thank you for your concern. It's all my fault that my family is not well off and I really can't meet her material needs. You should introduce some young talents to her and not delay her." Chen Xuyan started drinking the ginger cola that was given to him.

Adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, he continued to drink one cup after another.

Chen Zhaodi couldn't do anything about him. Fortunately, she didn't make any promises to the Xie family. They couldn't rely on anyone.

The two chatted for a while, and Chen Zhaodi, who was thirsty, found that the ginger cola was gone.

Chen Xuyan responded with a shy smile.

"Aunt, I have a meeting tomorrow morning, so I'll leave first." Chen Xuyan quickly rode the shared bicycle to take the subway.

Chen Zhaodi gritted her teeth and took a taxi home.
