Chapter 2559 Jealous

"By the way, second brother, didn't you pick up your parents? Where are they?" Xiao Sumei asked suddenly.

"this……"

However, when she asked this question, the expressions of Xiao Guoqing and his wife became a little unnatural. They looked at each other, as if they were communicating with their eyes.

Xiao Sumei is such a smart person, she knew something must be wrong when she saw her second brother and sister-in-law like this, she immediately asked: "Second brother, what's the matter? Is something wrong?"

Xiao Guoqing smiled awkwardly, and quickly waved his hands: "Sumei, don't worry, nothing happened, it's just... Mom and Dad are not at home now."

Xiao Sumei immediately asked: "Then where did they go?"

"them……"

"Second brother, don't lie to me!" Xiao Sumei interrupted Xiao Guoqing as soon as he spoke, "I came back this time because I heard that your health is not good, so I brought Xiaofeng to see you. Come here, just because my parents are getting old, so come back to see them, if I don’t see my parents, I won’t leave!”

Although the old father did too much in the past and caused her and Ji Feng to suffer too much, but he was still the old man anyway, if there was no old father, where would she come from? Besides, her life is better now, it's not like before, Xiao Sumei's resentment gradually faded away.

Besides, when she went back to her hometown last time, her old mother wiped her tears and held her back, and seeing what her father wanted to say but couldn't get rid of her face, Xiao Sumei forgave them in her heart. As for whether to apologize, Xiao Sumei didn't care.

It's not possible for parents to apologize to themselves first, can't they just save face?

But this time Xiao Sumei came to see her parents, but seeing her second brother Xiao Guoqing behaved like this, she instinctively realized that there seemed to be something wrong, so she said it in a hurry.

Xiao Guoqing's face turned red when he was told, and he was anxious: "Sumei, do you think I abused my parents? Do you think your second brother is such a heartless person?"

Xiao Sumei immediately asked: "Where did the parents go? Second brother, what happened, tell me quickly!"

"this……"

Xiao Guoqing was a little hesitant, and his face was a little embarrassed, he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

Ji Feng listened beside him, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to his second uncle, but Xiao Sumei slapped his hand aside.

Ji Feng couldn't help shrinking his head, okay, my old lady is angry!

"Second Uncle, you know what kind of temper my mother has. If there's anything you can just say no to!" Ji Feng said helplessly.

"It's not that I don't say it, it's what..." The second uncle said stutteringly.

"Oh, let me say it!"

The second aunt took the conversation and said: "Sumei, it's not that your second brother didn't tell you, but this matter, alas, it's embarrassing to say it!"

Sure enough, something happened!

Xiao Sumei was startled immediately, and hurriedly asked: "Second sister-in-law, what happened?! Is it the body of my parents..."

The second aunt hurriedly said: "Sumei, don't worry, it's not their physical problem, otherwise we would have told you earlier?"

Only then did Xiao Sumei feel relieved a little, thinking that this is true, if there is a problem with her parents' health, then there is no reason for the second brother and the second sister-in-law not to inform her, so it must be something else?

"well!"

The second aunt sighed and said, "Speaking of this matter, your second brother will definitely criticize me again, saying that I complained recklessly. But it's really not my complaint, Sumei, just as you asked, I will tell you Tell me about it."

Xiao Sumei nodded and said, "Second sister-in-law, tell me."

The second aunt said: "This matter, we have to start from the last time you and Xiaofeng left. Xiaofeng is a benevolent child. He brought us all to the city at that time, bought a house for you, and gave it to you. The second elder brother found a job, and gradually our life became easier, speaking of which, I can't thank you enough!"

Ji Feng smiled and waved his hands: "Auntie, I can't stay any longer if you say that again, I'm leaving!"

Xiao Sumei also couldn't help but said: "Second sister-in-law, we have already said that we are a family, so I don't need to say polite words, just tell me what's going on."

The second aunt nodded and said: "If you want to say, thanks to Xiaofeng, our life is better, so your second brother and I just thought about it, and my parents are getting older, and besides, my father is seriously ill. They almost didn’t go there, even though Xiao Feng cured her, but after all, her age is still there, so we discussed to bring my father and mother to the city, so that they can also enjoy happiness.”

Xiao Sumei nodded slightly. She knew about it. She heard about it when she was on the phone with her second brother.

"But who ever thought that this trouble started after my parents came to the city!" The second aunt seemed to be full of resentment when she mentioned it, "After my parents came, the other children didn't know what to do. We started to gossip, they said that the reason our life is better is because our parents gave us all their life savings..."

Speaking of this, the second aunt couldn't help but smiled bitterly: "Sumei, you know the situation of our family. We are all ordinary people who farm the land. Even if we work hard all our lives, how much money can we earn? Don't say that our parents didn't give us money. Even if our parents don’t eat or drink all their lives and give us all the money, how much can we have? Doesn’t it make you angry when you say that?”

Xiao Sumei nodded slowly, and the anxious expression on her face gradually disappeared. She knew what was going on as soon as she heard it. Obviously, the "other families" mentioned by the second sister-in-law referred to the other brothers and sisters.

It's this kind of mess again!

It's no wonder that the second brother is unwilling to say that it's really embarrassing to make such a incident, especially with the honest and honest character of the second brother, it seems that he is even more unwilling to mention it.

"Second sister-in-law, continue talking." Xiao Sumei said.

"Originally, your second brother and I planned to explain it to them, but who knows, they didn't believe it at all."

The second aunt said: "In the end, the fifth brother proposed that he could work with us as a joint stock contract, but you know what the men in the fifth family are like, and your second brother didn't agree. At this time, other people also raised it. I hope I can get a share, even my father will follow suit!"

"Sumei, you also know that this contractor doesn't mean that a few people can be hired as they like. There are many things involved in it. Besides, you know their character. If you let them participate, who can guarantee that they will Is there something nasty about cutting corners?"

At this time, Xiao Guoqing couldn't help it anymore, and complained: "I told my father this, but my father still said that I have no conscience. I have a better life and I don't know how to take care of my brothers and sisters, and I don't know how they treat me. What father said made my parents dislike me, and even some time ago, father moved back to Xiaojiazhuang directly."

The second aunt immediately said: "Before he left, Dad still left a word, saying when we agreed, when will they come back, otherwise, we will not let us care even if they die in Xiaojiazhuang."

Xiao Sumei felt very uncomfortable when she heard this, she couldn't help sighing, and asked, "What's the mother's opinion?"

Xiao Guoqing said: "My mother, an old lady who doesn't even know the words, what can I say? In fact, she also wants other people to participate. But this matter is not about the second brother, I eat alone, it is actually that they are not doing this at all. Material!"

Xiao Sumei immediately frowned slightly: "Then don't let them participate! Second brother, the project can't be sloppy. Although we don't have that kind of high-rise building with dozens of floors here, no matter how tall the house is, it must be of high quality. Pass!"

Although Xiao Sumei doesn't understand engineering, her horizons are extremely broad, and she often comes into contact with things that many people don't know, and often hears about some tofu projects, and even the things that cause heavy casualties are happens sometimes. Therefore, Xiao Sumei attached great importance to the quality of the project and specially instructed Xiao Guoqing.

Xiao Guoqing said: "Sumei, don't worry about this, your second brother is doing conscientious work and earning conscientious money."

"That's good."

Xiao Sumei was relieved now, she also knew that her second brother was an honest and responsible person, not bad in nature, and not a big construction company, just a small engineering team, with no harm.

Xiao Guoqing and his wife complained for a while, and they stopped talking. The second aunt was busy preparing meals, while Xiao Guoqing talked about other brothers and sisters, and also talked about some new things that happened in Manshi County.

"Sumei, where are my parents..."

"I'll go see them tomorrow." Xiao Sumei said.

"Then parents, if you bring up the issue of shareholding, don't spit it out easily." Xiao Guoqing said, "It's not that I don't want to help, it's that they are not made to do this, even if I have to spend some money every year I am willing, I am also willing to raise my parents alone, and I don’t want an acre of land at home! Besides, except for the third child, the other families are fine..."

"Second brother, I'm sensible." Xiao Sumei said.

Only then did Xiao Guoqing feel relieved, and couldn't help sighing, other brothers and sisters can get along well, but why is their old Xiao's family looking like this!

In the past when the family was poor, the boss and the others lived a good life, but when the father was sick, they didn’t even ask a single question, let alone help him. Now that they saw that he was making money doing projects, they immediately asked him They all surrounded him like sharks that smelled fishy, ​​and even encouraged their parents to force him.

"Then I'll go back with you tomorrow to see if I can bring my parents back." Xiao Guoqing said, and he couldn't help shaking his head as he spoke, "I've gone to pick them up three or four times, but every time I was beaten to death. It's been a while..."

"I'll tell them tomorrow." Xiao Sumei said, she was also a little angry in her heart, the behavior of these people was somewhat outrageous.
