Chapter 006 Poverty
Chu Xingchen deeply agrees with his mother's words. As long as the family can be happy together, no matter where they are, they are at home.
However, unless you are cold-blooded and ruthless, no one wants his relatives to live a good life. But from the perspective of the environment, Chu Xingchen knows in his heart that his family is not rich, and he even feels a little poor.
In addition, my parents have their own stores in South China. Now that they have moved here all the way, it shows that they have no business in South China. Why is this?
"Little sister, tell my brother, what's going on at home?" Chu Xingchen knew that his mother didn't want to worry about herself, so she refused to tell herself the truth. So he turned the muzzle and directly asked Chu Xingyue.
After this question, Chu Xingyue immediately stopped sobbing, quietly raised her head, blinked her big watery eyes twice, and then turned her head to look at her mother, as if she was asking for her mother's advice. Should she tell her brother the truth?
Chu Xingchen gently put his hands on her sister's cheek, broke her head back, looked at her, and smiled, "You never lie to your brother, do you?"
Chu Xingyue nodded hard and didn't have time to speak. Chu Xingchen asked, "So you tell your brother what happened at home? Why did you move back? Why do you still live in this old house?
"Because my father was sick a while ago, all the money in the family treated him, and even the house and shop were sold by his mother. Now the family still owes a lot of money to others. So there's nothing we can do but move back." Chu Xingyue couldn't bear to deceive her brother, so she had to tell her frankly.
"Is Dad sick?" Chu Xingchen frowned, and his eyes were full of worry. Although he was calm on the surface, he was already anxious. He hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Dad?"
"My father had an acute heart disease, and when he found out, his heart was already severely depleted. He had to have a heart transplant as soon as possible, and the cost of post-treatment was at least more than 2 million. Although my mother sold the shop and house and owed a lot of debts, fortunately, my father was lucky and safe in the end. I think this is more important than anything else. Chu Xingyue's cheeks turned red, and there was a smile between the corners of her lips, which was even more mature and sensible. In Chu Xingchen's eyes, she is obviously a big girl.
At the same time, Chu Xingchen understood why his mother and little sister have been visiting prison every time for more than a year. Since a year ago, his father has not seen him. He thought his father had been disappointed in himself and didn't want to see him again. It turned out that he was seriously ill and did not work well!
Thinking of this, Chu Xingchen was secretly melancholy and only felt that he was a son of man.
After a moment of silence, Chu Xingchen first looked at his sister puzzledly, and then looked at his mother, with some dissatisfaction on his face. In that protest tone, "Dad is seriously ill. Why didn't you tell me such a big thing?"
In fact, it is no wonder that he would protest. When he was in prison, they often visited prison, but no one told him about his family. Every time they went, they said that everything was fine in the family and told him not to worry. Now he suddenly learned that his father was seriously ill, so that his family was so poor that he still knew these things, which made him vaguely feel that he was an outsider.
"Brother, we don't want you to worry, so we didn't tell you. Besides, it's useless to tell you at that time.
After listening to Chu Xingyue's words, Chu Xingchen's face sank at that time. Gradually, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked, unconsciously pulled out a self-deprecating smile, and then hummed, lowered his head, and mumbled, "Yes, even if you told me at that time, what could I do? So far, in addition to fighting for territory, it seems that I have never done anything meaningful for my family, and I have always involved you. Ha ha, it's really no better than waste!"
"Brother... I... I didn't mean that... You... You misunderstood me..." Chu Xingyue found that she spoke quickly and said something wrong. For a moment, she was pale and didn't know what to do. She was afraid that her brother would be angry and blame herself, so she hurriedly explained, "Brother, I mean, it would be inconvenient for you, even if Let me tell you that you can't help much, and it will make you worry. I..."
"Okay, silly girl, how can my brother blame you? My brother is just regretting that he has done many meaningless things before. Chu Xingchen interrupted his sister's words, raised his hand and hooked her nose, and then smiled without saying anything. And his bright smile suddenly made Chu Xingyue breathe a sigh of relief. She couldn't help but pout and no longer dared to speak casually.
"Okay, you girl has been pestering your brother for a long time, and you won't let your brother go home. Are you afraid that your brother will run away? If you want to catch up, let's have dinner later, and you two can talk enough. Speaking of eating, Zhang Cuifang suddenly looked at her daughter and said funny and angrily, "Didn't I let you make soy sauce? Where's the soy sauce?
"Ah?" Looking down at the broken soy sauce bottle, Chu Xingyue pouted and frowned. However, she spit out her tongue mischievously, but she was speechless. She looked charming and cute. Chu Xingchen saw it and laughed in her heart.
"Mom, I'll buy it for you."
After saying that, Chu Xingchen turned around and wanted to leave. Chu Xingyue suddenly took a step ahead, quickly went back to the room and took out a soy sauce bottle. He passed by Chu Xingchen and joked, "You haven't come back for many years, and you are not afraid of getting lost? I think you'd better go home and have a rest. Just leave this kind of heavy work to me. Saying that, he rode on his favorite two-wheeled electric car and quickly ran into the alley ahead.
"Is soy sauce also a heavy job?" Chu Xingchen couldn't laugh or cry. However, since the moment he saw his sister, he doesn't know how many times he has been amused by this little girl or how many times he has been moved by her. And in his heart, his sister is a little angel given to him by God, and she will always be so warm.
"Go home with your mother. Tonight, my mother will pick you up and cook a few of your favorite dishes to make you full. Zhang Cuifang helped her son pick up her backpack and took her son's arms with a smile on her face. The mother and son walked into the room happily.
As soon as he stepped into the threshold, Chu Xingchen looked around the four walls and was stunned. He saw that the furniture was pitifully few and almost at a glance. Even the TVs and sofas were from the last century. They seemed to be second-hand goods. There were cracks in the walls on all sides, and they looked like they could collapse at any time. In this era, it is no exaggeration to use the words "the room is like a hanging, and the house is full of four walls" to describe the bad situation of the current family.
Chu Xingchen saw it and felt very heavy. He immediately restrained his smile, and his heart was full of thoughts. He only thought about how to make money as soon as possible, help his family share the burden, and let his family live a good life?
Do business?
But I have no experience, let alone capital.
Go to a better enterprise to find a good job?
Well, now I'm talking about diplomas, but I don't even seem to have a diploma. What's more, I can't do anything except fights so far. How can I talk about work?
Go to the black market to fight black boxing?
Well, this is a way to make money. With your own skills, it is not a problem to make a lot of money by boxing in a short period of time. However, this should not be what parents want...
While Chu Xingchen was thinking about it, Chu Changtian, who had been sitting on the sofa, seemed to see his mind and said in a low voice, "The conditions at home are no better than before, but he can't starve to death and freeze. As long as you don't commit adultery, you will live a peaceful life no matter how hard it is. On the contrary, if you use some extreme means to make profits, no matter how good your life is, you will have nightmares, and you may repeat the mistakes and embark on the crooked road you have taken before.
Chu Xingchen smiled bitterly when he heard the words. Now he is very suspicious that he is not only telepathic with his sister, but also related to his father. My own thoughts can't escape their eyes. However, Chu Xingchen also understood that his father was reminding himself not to go back.
"Dad, don't worry, I won't. I made a mistake the first time, and I won't make a mistake again. Chu Xingchen vowed to make a promise. But I'm still calculating how to help my family reduce the burden? What kind of work is suitable for you to do?
You should know, no matter what year and month, it is the era of money supremacy.
Money is not everything, but without money, it is never.
With the development of the times, the gap between the rich and the poor is getting wider and wider, and prices are soaring that many people can't afford to consume. With a little blasphemy, it is difficult to guarantee three meals a day, so people are competing desperately. In this cruel and bad situation, how difficult is it for a family to ensure food and clothing?
The more Chu Xingchen thinks about it, the more uncertain he feels. If he is allowed to go out to work now, he must not even guarantee his own food and clothing, let alone the life of a family.
However, if you don't work, what can you do to reduce the burden on your family?
