Chapter 379 A Complex Home
It's ridiculous to spend the money you have worked so hard to earn just to save your father's face.
These are my biological parents, the ones who don’t care about me at all.
Fu Yuan clenched and unclenched his fists, but in the end he just sneered and shook his head.
"Mom, you also think that I make a lot of money outside? I live a very carefree and comfortable life, right?"
Li Jinzhi was slightly stunned and did not answer.
But Fu Yuan continued, "Ever since I started school, you've told me to save money, saying that my family wasn't well off, and you've made me wear a pair of shoes that had countless patches on them, and you've made me face the cold stares of my classmates every day."
"Since I graduated from college and stayed in the city to work, I have never asked you for a penny. You have never said a word of concern to me. The most you have said is to ask me for money."
"There's nothing wrong with your body, but my dad still coaxed me to come back to see you, saying that you were not feeling well."
"I should have guessed it was for money."
At first, Li Jinzhi was unwilling to join in deceiving Fu Yuan, but she couldn't stand Fu Gui always making trouble with her.
On one side was her own son, and on the other side was her husband, with whom she shared the same bed.
She finally chose to stand on her husband's side.
Fu Gui was good-looking when he was young, so Fu Yuan inherited all of his good looks.
Similarly, Li Jinzhi is not bad looking, otherwise Fu Yuan would not be so tall and handsome.
It's a pity that Fu Gui has a lot of bad habits. He likes smoking, drinking and playing cards. Even though he is old, he still has a good-looking appearance.
It's just that he values his face very much and always likes to show off in public.
Ever since Fu Yuan graduated, he has been extorting money from Fu Yuan.
Fu Gui's old face turned redder and darker as he listened to Fu Yuan's sarcastic tone.
"You little bastard, who are you mocking in your words? You unfilial bastard, I provide you with food and drink, and this is how you repay me?"
"You must pay the money today, or I will beat you to death."
Facing Fu Gui's threat, Fu Yuan remained unmoved. He just stared at him coldly with clenched teeth.
"I don't have any money, but I have a life. Why don't you just take my life back?"
"you!"
Fu Gui picked up a stick nearby and prepared to attack Fu Yuan. Li Jinzhi still felt sorry for her son, so she rushed over and grabbed Fu Gui, screaming.
"Father, you can't hit him. Fu Yuan is our biological son. If you really hurt him, it will be the end of him."
The scene was in complete chaos.
But Fu Gui did not break away from Li Jinzhi. It was because he had been smoking and drinking for years, which had drained his body, and he did not pay attention to taking care of himself on a daily basis.
If he really fought with Fu Yuan, he wouldn't be able to beat Fu Yuan with just one hand.
Fu Gui was panting heavily, "You bastard, if it weren't for your mother protecting you, I would have cut off one of your legs."
"I'm furious."
Fu Gui picked up the three hundred yuan on the ground and left, because he was going to play mahjong at the village entrance.
At this moment, Li Jinzhi looked at Fu Yuan and asked, "Son, are you going to stay at home today?"
This is a rural village in the mountains. On weekdays, it takes an hour to walk to the road to go to the market, not to mention that it is already evening.
Looking at the sunset in the sky, Fu Yuan nodded and replied, "There is no car today. I plan to go back tomorrow."
He pulled out his cell phone to take a picture.
Xianxian just received the photos sent by Fu Yuan.
The sunset glow in the photo is very beautiful, and you can tell at a glance that it was taken in the most simple countryside.
Zhenzhen: It's so beautiful. Where are you? Why is there such a beautiful sunset?
Fu Yuan didn't expect Xianxian to reply so quickly. He thought she would reply after a while.
He couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips, and he couldn't suppress the joy in his heart.
Fu Yuan: I'm back to my hometown. If you like, I'll bring you to see it in person later.
Zhenzhen: Okay.
Just one word was enough to make Fu Yuan happy.
If your invitation is not rejected by the other party, it means that the other party is tacitly agreeing to be close to you.
Looking at the smile on Fu Yuan's face, Li Jinzhi asked as she was cooking on the stove, "Xiao Yuan, are you dating someone?"
Fu Yuan didn't expect Li Jinzhi to ask him this. He looked at her somewhat unnaturally, but chose not to answer the question.
Seeing that the other party was unwilling to answer her questions, Li Jinzhi did not feel disappointed or discouraged.
With a smile on her face, she continued, "If you are really dating, you can bring them back to show me and your dad."
"If possible, get married as soon as possible and buy a house in the city. We are all very supportive."
Ever since Fu Yuan went to college, his relationship with his parents has become increasingly distant.
Li Jinzhi didn't know what happened to her son.
I just thought the child had grown up.
Sometimes I want to mend a relationship, but I don’t know where to start.
Now looking at the sweet smile on Fu Yuan's face, she began to guess that Fu Yuan was in a relationship.
If the other party can find a city girl, that would be a real happy event.
Fu Yuan restrained his smile and said self-deprecatingly, "Bring it back? Live in the city? Do you and my dad have money?"
These words made Li Jinzhi shut up.
Facing his son's slightly harsh voice.
She opened her mouth to say something, but in the end it turned into a sigh.
That's it.
They are incapable.
Fu Gui was lucky tonight. He didn't come back until twelve o'clock. At three o'clock in the morning, he came back drunk with a bottle of wine. He walked unsteadily and burped with a smell of alcohol in his mouth.
Fu Gui probably lost money, so he rushed to the room where Fu Yuan lived.
Regardless of the fact that Fu Yuan was sleeping soundly, he rummaged through the suitcase he brought back.
The noise in the room was too loud. Fu Yuan opened his eyes and said nothing. He just watched Fu Gui rummaging through things in the moonlight.
It’s not like I haven’t encountered this kind of situation before when I came back. Fu Gui has never been a polite person.
Any cash that Fu Yuan brought back would be taken away by Fu Gui that night.
Fu Yuan has become smarter now.
He never carries cash in his bag or on his person, so even if Fu Gui wanted to look for it, he wouldn't be able to find it.
"Damn it, why is there nothing? Does this bastard really not have a penny out there?"
"I shouldn't have let him go to school in the first place. He should have stayed at home tilling the soil and growing crops. Now his mind is distracted by the colorful world outside."
Fu Gui was rummaging through things while cursing, his mouth full of foul language that sounded unpleasant.
Finally he gave up, turned around and left the room, holding on to the wall. Fu Yuan closed his eyes, not wanting to be bothered.
You have to go back tomorrow and you must not stay in the village.
I've really had enough of my parents.
God is so unfair.
Some people are born to be wealthy, but I alone seem to be living in a quagmire.
Li Jinzhi got up before dawn. Fu Gui came back too late last night and kept cursing Fu Yuan in the room. He didn't act like a father at all.
Fu Gui couldn't wake up at all this morning. It seemed that he had to wait until the sun was high in the sky before he could go out to bed.
Life at home was getting harder and harder, and the biggest reason was Fu Gui, who was not a hard-working person.
He always slacked off when working in the fields every day, but Li Jinzhi was more skillful than him.
The breakfast was ordinary, with millet porridge which most families in the village eat.
It was porridge mixed with cornmeal and served with some pickles that Li Jinzhi had made herself.
Looking at the ordinary porridge and pickles in front of him, Fu Yuan seemed to have no interest.
His favorite food every morning is steamed buns.
The aroma of the dish is so delicious that it makes you dizzy.
As long as you think of the delicious dumplings, who would still care about the pickled cabbage and porridge in front of you?
But Li Jinzhi served him a big bowl of porridge.
With a flattering smile on her face, she said, "Xiao Yuan, mom added an egg at the bottom for you. Didn't you want to eat eggs the most when you were a child?"
I want to eat it the most.
Not my favorite food.
"Mom added it in for you today. It tastes delicious when mixed with today's pickles. Come eat it quickly."
"Didn't you say you were going back today? Go back early while your dad is still asleep, and you and your son won't have a fight."
Li Jinzhi also wanted to keep things quiet and didn't want Fu Yuan and Fu Gui to make things too awkward.
But Fu Yuan just nodded perfunctorily.
"Mom, I know, but when I was little I wanted to eat eggs, but now I don't like them."
When Fu Yuan was a child, he really wanted to eat eggs.
But that's because there's nothing to eat at home.
Now even if you peel ten eggs and put them in front of him, he won't want to eat them.
At that time, Fu Gui was the only one in the family who could eat eggs.
Every day, I either fry an egg or cook a bowl of millet porridge with an egg at the bottom.
Li Jinzhi is a typical love-brained person and is completely obedient to her husband.
Always instill in my son.
Your father is the head of the family. He usually has to work in the fields, so it is normal for him to eat better. You just don't need to eat too well since you are studying.
It’s not Fu Yuan’s turn to get the egg.
Fu Yuan has already become independent outside.
The desire for eggs has long been reduced.
When Fu Yuan received his first month's salary.
He had already eaten seven or eight eggs in a row just to make up for the emptiness of his childhood.
It turns out that eggs are not that delicious.
Now he used chopsticks to take out the eggs from the bottom of the bowl.
He just said to Li Jinzhi calmly, "Mom, keep this egg for Dad. Doesn't he still have to work in the fields?"
Although he used a caring tone, an awkward smile appeared on Li Jinzhi's face.
It turned out that Fu Yuan still remembered the words he used to coax him when he was a child.
Go to the fields to work?
Fu Gui has never really worked properly in the fields.
He only knows how to fish for three days and rest for two days.
When they were young and dating, Li Jinzhi heard that Fu Gui was lazy and gluttonous.
But at that time, Li Jinzhi didn't think it was a big problem.
Young man, some minor problems are nothing.
As long as you get married and start a family, you will definitely live a down-to-earth life in the future.
She believed that she and Fu Gui could live a good life.
But until Fu Yuan was born.
Fu Gui still likes drinking and playing cards as always.
Sometimes when I’m in a bad mood I hit myself.
Li Jinzhi finally realized that there was really no hope for Fu Gui in this life.
He just wants to rely on his wife and have her take care of him like a nanny.
All the farm work inside and outside the house is taken care of by Li Jinzhi.
But the two of them have been together for so many years, they can't possibly get divorced when they are old, right?
Li Jinzhi sat down, holding the corner of her clothes, feeling a little awkward. "Xiao Yuan, are you still blaming your mother?"
"What do you blame me for?"
Fu Yuan stared at Li Jinzhi.
Li Jinzhi felt indescribable for a moment. She felt that Fu Yuan was asking her the question deliberately.
She sighed and said, "Do you think we treat you badly?"
It turns out that they knew everything, but were still not prepared to admit their mistakes.
Fu Yuan no longer had any appetite.
He immediately put down his chopsticks and gave a fake smile.
"You don't need to ask me these questions. As long as you have a clear conscience, that's enough. I'm already grown up anyway."
"But I am not a crop. You can harvest me just like cutting leeks by applying fertilizer and watering me. If you want to get much money from me, it is absolutely impossible."
Maybe because he was afraid of being poor in the past, Fu Yuan is now very stingy.
He is only stingy with others, but extremely generous to himself.
Even if the other party is his own parents, he is still reluctant to spend a penny more.
Li Jinzhi thought of the boasts her husband had made and was also worried about the strange looks she would face from relatives in the future.
Seeing Fu Yuan preparing to go back to his room to pack up and leave, she stood up, grabbed Fu Yuan's hand and said timidly.
"Xiao Yuan, even if mom begs you, your dad has had a hard time these years. Even if we have no credit for raising you, haven't we worked hard? Can you bear to see us lose face in the village?"
"Even if you don't have the 30,000 yuan your father wants, you still have to give him something."
"Your dad cried when he came home last night. He's so old, how could you bear to see him cry?"
I didn’t expect that Li Jinzhi had also learned how to use moral blackmail.
Seeing that threats were useless, she thought of playing the emotional card.
Fu Yuan didn't care about Fu Gui's thoughts, but as a mother, she was still of some use.
Facing Li Jinzhi's pleading, Fu Yuan remained very calm.
This is not the first time. Whenever Fu Gui can't get money from her, Li Jinzhi will step in with tears in her eyes.
In the past, Fu Yuan really fell for this trick, but he was fooled every time. After a long time, he naturally realized that this was the routine of the couple.
In order to get the money out of their own hands, they really tried their best and used all means.
Fu Yuan watched the other person's performance quietly without saying a word.
Li Jinzhi finally noticed something was wrong and looked up, just in time to see Fu Yuan's expressionless face.
He seemed to have seen through her thoughts and was looking at her with the same eyes as a stranger.
"Have you cried enough?"
"Xiao Yuan..."
Li Jinzhi moved her lips but couldn't speak.
At this time, Fu Yuan pulled out his hand and said coldly, "If you have finished speaking, then it is my turn to speak."
"When I was in high school and college, I had to rely on myself to survive, with only steamed buns and pickles. What did you give me?"
"You want corresponding rewards without any effort? I tell you, it's impossible."
