Chapter 474

Zhang Qianxiu didn't stay with Huang en's family for long. When something like this happened in his family, he couldn't stay.

He knew what Huang Er Cai thought, but he didn't blame Huang Er CAI for this.

On the way back, Zhang Qianxiu made a phone call to Zhang Lanmei.

Zhang Lanmei is doing OK in Pengcheng now. She has her own office where she can make outside calls.

Soon, Zhang Lanmei answered the phone: "hello..."

Zhang Qianxiu said, "sister, it's me. Do you know about dad?"

"Dad, what's the matter? He just called me two days ago. " Zhang Lanmei became nervous.

Zhang Qianxiu said: "he gambled and lost a lot. I don't know how much. It's estimated that there are hundreds of thousands."

When Zhang Lanmei heard that it was gambling, she was relieved. But when she heard that she had lost hundreds of thousands of money, she was also worried: "how could he lose so much money? No wonder he asked me to transfer money to him. "

"How much did you transfer to him?" Zhang Qianxiu asked.

"In these two months or so, there are thirteen thousand." Zhang Lanmei said.

Zhang Qianxiu knows that the thirteen thousand is estimated to be the property of his elder sister. Her elder sister is still developing well in Pengcheng. Although she still works in the factory, she has a group of stable customers, manages finance and commissions in business, and makes a lot of money. However, it's limited to earn money by working for others. It's only a year since she can earn more than ten thousand, which is very good.

"Don't transfer money to him in the future, he can't get the money. I will pay them the living expenses on time every month in the future," he said

Zhang Lanmei said: "I know this. Even if I want to give it to them in the future, I will give them a little or buy something for them during the Spring Festival."

"Why don't I pay it back with you! I'll take half of it. "

Zhang Qianxiu said, "no! If you want to do your own business and need money, just tell me. I can take out millions at any time. If you want tens of millions, just say hello to me a few days in advance. "

Zhang Lanmei said: "no, your money is yours. Although my sister is not as good as you now, she still knows what to do and how to do it."

Zhang Lanmei has really changed a lot. From being soft and powerless at the beginning to being able to control her own life, the change is very, very big.

Zhang Qianxiu is also very happy with her sister's change. As long as she has a goal and knows what she should do, money is not so important.

Zhang Qianxiu said: "that's OK. I'm responsible for family affairs. When you really need my help, you must tell me."

"OK, Dad's business is done. Give me a call." Zhang Lanmei said.

Zhang Qianxiu hung up and walked home, thinking about how to solve the problem.

When he got home, Zhang Aibing was smoking in front of the temporary house, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Seeing that Zhang Qianxiu came back, Zhang Aibing hesitated for a moment, tried to open his mouth and asked, "how did you go so long?"

Seeing his father like this, Zhang Qianxiu's mood is very complicated. He knows that his father is now modest, and he is afraid that he will know about his gambling debts from others.

Zhang Qianxiu put down the return gift of Zhang SHUNFA and Huang Ercai in his hand, then sat down beside his father and said, "I made two phone calls and delayed some time."

"I called my sister."

Zhang Aibing's face was slightly stiff, and then he said, "Oh, I want to make a phone call to ask."

"Dad, did you ask my sister for the money?" Zhang Qianxiu asked.

Zhang Qianxiu didn't want to tear Zhang Aibing down directly. He wanted Zhang Aibing to say it by himself, which could be regarded as leaving a little face for Zhang Aibing.

Although two people are father and son, but also between father and son to face.

Zhang Aibing bowed his head and hesitated for a long time before he said, "I'm not taking it. I'll save it for her. I'm afraid he won't be able to save money outside."

"The money will be returned to her later."

Zhang Qianxiu frowned. His anger was almost irrepressible. He took a deep breath, took out a cigarette, lit one by himself, took a sip, and then said, "Dad, my sister can make some money now."

"But she has her own plan. The money she gives you is for her own business. She started to do some business on her own last year."

"At that time, she didn't have enough contacts and funds in the business field. Although she made a lot of money, she was frugal in order to save money."

"She doesn't have to help her at home, but we can't pull her back, can we?"

Zhang Aibing lowered his head and couldn't see his face clearly.

Zhang Qianxiu said: "the house is still decorated according to the style discussed before. Master Wang has already transported the materials to the county. After the Dragon Boat Festival, they will be able to start the decoration. If it is fast, it will be finished in about a month."

"It will be summer, too. I should be able to live in it in a month or two."

"I've already agreed with Master Wang about the money for the decoration. I'll pay for it directly."

Zhang Qianxiu said this, waiting for his father to say.

Zhang Aibing "Oh", said: "before that decoration is also very good."

Zhang Qianxiu saw that he was so obvious, and his father was not willing to be frank. He asked, "Dad, don't you have anything to say to me?"

Zhang Aibing didn't know whether his throat was dry or not. He cleaned his throat hard, pretended to be calm, and said, "my family is very good. Your sister and brother are promising. There's nothing to say."

Zhang Qianxiu was really disappointed. He used to think that his father was old-fashioned and wanted face. Now he thinks that his father is not only so, but also very cowardly. He doesn't even have the courage to admit and face.

Zhang Qianxiu took a deep breath and said, "Dad, what's the matter with your gambling?"

"Gambling? No, Don't listen to those people's nonsense. How can I gamble? At most, I play cards with others. I can win or lose a few yuan a day, and my family is not short of that. " Zhang Aibing strongly denied it.

The word card is a local card type, which is not widely spread. Basically, it is popular in Xiaojiang province. There are similar cards in several provinces around, but there are some differences in playing methods.

As for his father's attitude, Zhang Qianxiu felt extremely disappointed. He could no longer suppress his anger and irritability. His tone of voice became direct, even with a kind of reprimand: "Dad, you don't have to guess who told me that. When you took money with your sister, no one in the village knew. When I came back, I felt that something was wrong with you. I asked a lot of people along the way, Some people are still covering for you. "

"Up to now, I only know that you have lost money in gambling. I don't know how much you have lost."

"I can pay you back the money, but you have to promise that you can't gamble any more."

Zhang Aibing was silent, and he acquiesced to the fact that he was gambling.

"How much did you lose? To whom? We'll pay the money back some other day. You'd better enjoy your happiness at home in the future. Don't bother about it. " Although Zhang Qianxiu had fire in his heart, he tried to control his own fire.

Who knows, Zhang Aibing also came to temper: "you don't have to worry about it, I will deal with it myself."

Zhang Qianxiu had been suppressing his anger. When he heard Zhang Aibing's words, he burst out immediately: "do you deal with it? What do you do with it? How much money can you make a month? "

"As you are now, you can't afford to pay your gambling bills if you don't eat or drink all your life?"

"Dad, it doesn't matter if you do something wrong. If you do something wrong, you should dare to face it."

Zhang Aibing didn't dare to look directly at Zhang Qianxiu. Perhaps Zhang Qianxiu's words hurt his self-esteem. At this time, he raised his head, blushed and cried: "I don't think your Lao Tzu has the ability and ability to earn money?"

"Your Lao Tzu no longer has the ability, you are also my birth, I raise."

When Zhang Qianxiu saw that his father didn't know how to repent at this time, he was afraid that others would say he was incompetent. He was disappointed and annoyed: "Dad, put away your little self-esteem!"

"No one looks down on you. It's your pride."

"Can you think about it for your family? Don't toss some moths out? "

Zhang Aibing said with dissatisfaction: "what do you mean? I toss? What am I not doing for your good? "

"In the past, there was a little money at home to buy meat. Your mother and I were reluctant to eat it. We gave it to your sister and brother."

"Now you two are promising. On the other hand, you know you dislike me!"

"I'm going to gamble just to make more money, so that your brother and sister can be more relaxed?"

"If I really care about myself, can't I eat and drink at home every day?"

Zhang Qianxiu frowned repeatedly. In the past, his family was poor. If they were a little good, their parents would keep them for their children. Although they were a little bit patriarchal, they took special care of their two brothers and sisters in this respect, and there was no difference between them.

Zhang Qianxiu felt that his father was a good father when his family was poor. He stood up and took care of the whole family.

But when the family had money, all his problems were exposed.

The father has a strong sense of self-esteem. He is afraid that others will look down on him. Even in front of his children, he will try to be brave. In the past, Zhang Qianxiu and Zhang Lanmei couldn't make money because their family was poor. Their father had a responsibility to show off his strength. Because he didn't show off his strength, no one would stand up to help their family. Life at home would be more difficult. At that time, his strength was strength.

Now that he has money, he doesn't need to be brave any more. Even if he is brave enough to do farm work, it will only make people sad.

But his father chose another way. He tried to prove that he could still take care of the family and make money. That was gambling.

If Zhang Aibing only relies on his work to make money, no matter how hard they try, the money he makes is just a little drizzle in front of Zhang Qianxiu and Zhang Lanmei, which is not worth mentioning.

Zhang Aibing knew very well that he couldn't make much money simply by working, so he went to gamble.

Zhang Qianxiu felt that his father was unreasonable: "Dad, don't use these words to cover up your vanity and so-called self-esteem."

"To put it bluntly, you just want to prove that you can make money."

"You just want to tell us that you are still the head of the family. You have to listen to everything."

"My sister and I earn a lot. You don't have the confidence to speak, so you also want to earn more to support your little self-esteem."

"That's bullshit pride."

Zhang Aibing is still young. He is in his early 40s. He is in his prime. In principle, his 30s and 40s are the peak age of a man.

But Zhang Aibing has a pair of very powerful children. No matter what he does now, the influence on his family is very small.

At the age of 40, he had to listen to his children. Zhang Aibing couldn't accept it.

Zhang Aibing was like a cat that had been trampled on its tail and jumped up: "Zhang Qianxiu, what do you mean? I'm your Laozi. Do you talk to me like that? "
