Landlady who likes to hoard land

When they were signing the contract at the village committee, Zhao Lanshan, that's Brother Zhao, knew that they would definitely need to build a factory shed after buying the factory building. He recommended a relative of his to them and guaranteed that he would give them the most favorable price.

In this environment, fewer people are opening physical stores or factories, and the business of building factory sheds has also been greatly affected.

Those recommended by Zhao Lanshan must be close to him; otherwise, he would have to bear the responsibility if any problems arose later.

"Okay, I'll find someone to clear those two plots of land first, and then I'll invite the people who build the factory sheds to come over and see how to build it most cost-effectively."

Wang Chenggong readily agreed; of course, he would take care of his sister's affairs.

Wang Chengyu transferred 20,000 yuan to Wang Chenggong and asked him to settle the bill after the site was cleaned up.

After everything was done, Wang Chengyu went home.

It wasn't until he got home that Wang Chengyu's excitement about buying the land gradually subsided.

She never imagined that she would be able to buy land one day, let alone two plots.

The money was spent, but I felt more at ease.

In the afternoon, I read books, practiced martial arts, and cultivated my mind in my online space. In a good mood because of the land purchase, I also cooked a sumptuous dinner.

"Mom, do we still have money? The meals have been very plentiful and delicious lately."

Xu Wen looked at the table full of food with a worried expression. He was truly concerned that they would eat up all the money in their house.

He witnessed his parents' daily arguments.

Every time they argued, he would hide in his room and secretly vow that he would study hard, work hard to earn money when he grew up, and stop his parents from arguing about money all the time.

He rarely asks his parents for pocket money to buy things; his mother always gives him what he wants. It's just that he doesn't want it.

My grandparents have a room specifically for storing all kinds of snacks, fruits, and milk.

Grandpa said that these things are only allowed to be eaten at his house and cannot be taken out.

Xu Wen remembered asking his grandfather when he was in elementary school,

"Grandpa, why can't we take it home to eat?"

This is how Grandpa answered.

"You've taken them home. What will your aunt's children eat when they come over?"

"Then why is Auntie allowed to bring the delicious food back to her own home to eat?"

"Since my aunt is a guest who came to visit us, we should of course return the favor when she goes back."

He thought, "So that's what it means to give a gift in return when guests come to visit. I remember my mother saying that if a guest brings a gift, you should give them a gift in return. Is my aunt a special guest who doesn't need to bring a gift but still needs to give a gift in return?"

But my aunt's family is already very wealthy. My aunt's younger cousins ​​have an endless supply of snacks every day.

They can buy whatever they want to eat, unlike him and his brother, who have to get good grades to earn a hamburger.

He envied his younger cousins ​​and once longed to be a child in his aunt's family.

Xu Wen clearly remembers one time when her aunt brought her younger cousin and younger cousin to her grandparents' house.

Grandpa bought a durian. The durian had four large pieces of flesh and one small piece. He and his younger brother got the smallest piece, which was gone in two bites.

My cousin, my younger cousin, my aunt, and my grandmother each got a big piece of fruit.

Grandpa doesn't like durian, so he didn't get any.

The durian was so delicious, he wanted more. It's great to be a guest, you get to eat a whole piece of durian by yourself.

My younger brother also wanted to eat, and he kept making a fuss about wanting more. Grandma said he was being impolite and that good things should be saved for the guests.

After returning home, Xu Wen and Xu Yao begged their mother to buy them durian, but she refused. They then angrily yelled at her.

"Why was I born into your family? I don't want to be your child, I want to be my aunt's child."

Mom cried and had a big fight with Dad, who then beat him up.

Later, his mother finally bought him a durian, but he felt that the durian didn't taste good at all.

Back then, in order to get snacks, he would ask his dad to take him to his grandma's house every weekend. His mom would get angry every time, but she never stopped him.

He often heard villagers and neighbors say that his grandfather was rich, and he occasionally witnessed his grandmother giving money to his mother.

Grandpa often says that his family and Aunt's family are all one family, and we should be considerate of each other. Didn't Grandpa say before that Aunt was a guest?

Why are we all family again?

Since they are family, why is Grandpa so rich and Aunt so rich, but their family is so poor?

Why do members of one family have to live two different lives?

Xu Wen didn't understand.

He didn't understand before why his mother would get angry but not stop him from eating snacks at his grandfather's house on weekends.

Now that he's in middle school, he seems to understand a bit more. His mother is angry because his grandfather used snacks to lure him and his younger brother to his house.

The mother doesn't stop them because she doesn't usually buy them snacks and knows they want to eat them, so even if she gets angry, she doesn't stop them from going.

He also realized that his family, his aunt's family, and his grandmother's family were not related, but only relatives, which was why they lived different lives.

Grandpa doesn't like Mom and Dad because they have no money and still have to ask them for money.

Oh, right, Grandpa said that he and Dad separated from the family, and after that, they were no longer a family.

Grandpa was right, they are no longer a family.

A true family is like the maternal grandparents' and maternal uncles' families, where everyone lives together, shares good food, fun activities, and money.

He will definitely earn a lot of money in the future, for his parents, his children, and his younger brother, so that everyone will stop arguing.

Not right either.

My maternal grandparents' family has no money, and my uncle's family has no money either, so why don't they argue?

Maybe it's because my cousins ​​on my uncle's side won't let my uncle and aunt buy snacks!

I will not let my mother buy me snacks anymore, and I will also supervise my younger brother so that he will not ask my mother for snacks.

In the past, their family usually cooked some porridge for dinner, sometimes steamed rice, and stir-fried two home-style dishes. Only when he and his younger brother had birthdays would their mother buy a cake and cook more dishes to celebrate.

These past few days, his mother has been cooking different dishes for him and his younger brother, which has made him feel quite flattered.

He was worried that his mother would spend all the money and then argue with his father.

Grandma was about to give Mom several thousand yuan again, as if it were charity. She didn't want Mom to suffer because of this.

Yes, it's charity.

He not only learns things quickly lately, but his memory has also improved a lot.

A few days ago, during a class meeting, our homeroom teacher told them a short story about a Western country, the theme of which was dignity.

He listened very attentively and clearly remembered the teacher's final summary:

"Giving willingly is favoritism, while asking for handouts is charity."

Aside from family, don't show favoritism casually.

A person should have dignity; do not easily accept charity from others, nor should you casually give charity to others.

At that moment, Xu Wen suddenly realized why his mother was unhappy and even argued with his father when his grandmother gave her money.

Because the mother felt that her grandmother was giving her charity and trampling on her dignity.

But for the sake of making a living, Mom still had to bite the bullet and accept Grandma's charity.

Grandpa and Grandma showed favoritism towards Aunt's family, treating them like charity.

Having come to this conclusion, Xu Wen no longer actively asks to go to her grandmother's house.

Now that his maternal grandmother is sick, his mother has to go to take care of her. Sometimes on weekends, when he and his younger brother have to go to their grandparents' house, he tries his best to restrain himself and not eat those snacks.

They separated from their grandfather's family and were no longer part of the same family, so they couldn't just eat food from other people's homes.

Seeing Xu Wen's worried expression, Wang Chengyu felt extremely distressed.
