When Zhao An returned home, he found Qin Zhu waiting downstairs.

"Why did you just come back? The food has already been heated up." Qin Zhu grumbled when she saw her son.

"Didn't I already say it? I'll be back late tonight. " Zhao An held Qin Zhu's arm.

"It's too late. What time is it!? Where did you go? " Qin Zhu asked.

"I watched a movie with a friend."

"Male or female?" Qin Zhu frowned.

"Male."

Qin Zhu was relieved. Although he said that he didn't want his son to date Ye Rolo, Qin Zhu still didn't want anything to happen between the two of them. If Zhao An went to the movies with the other girls, Ye Rolo would definitely be unhappy.

"Don't go home so late in the future." Qin Zhu warned her again.

"It's just these few days. I'm a bit nervous, so I need to relax a bit." Zhao An had no other choice. If he didn't settle this matter, how could he be at ease? Ceng Wen had been busy with his bar these days. When he had the free time, he would go after the Zhao Family's millions.

A person like Ceng Wen was insatiably greedy and used to using methods to steal from others. In a short while, he wouldn't be able to see someone with money in their pocket.

The long shadow hung diagonally on the street, leading Zhao An home. Zhao An looked at his mother's soft and mellow face, and his heart grew calm. The trace of hesitation and nervousness in his heart also disappeared without a trace.

After all, this was the first time something like this had happened. No matter how hard he tried to temper his state of mind in that space, there would always be some sort of inexplicable disturbance.

Most of the time, a man's success or failure is determined by the presence of his closest woman before he makes a decision or does something big.

When he returned home and looked at the dishes on the table, he saw his first uncle, Zhao Xiaobing, his first aunt, Hua Mei, and his cousin, Zhao Qiya, sitting on the sofa.

Zhao An frowned and sat beside his father. He sneered, "You know my family has money?"

"Little An." Zhao Dagong called out for Zhao An, but he didn't say anything else. He just continued drinking.

Qin Zhu didn't say anything else and just called out to him, "Little An is back. Let's eat."

"I've heard what you said, Little An. It's been a long time since we last met, yet you dare to joke around with me..." Zhao Xiaobao's expression changed and he immediately began to laugh. "Little An has grown taller too. He's taller than Big Uncle. Do you still remember when you were young, picking peaches in Uncle's yard?" You don't even need to move the chairs anymore, haha! "

"I don't remember." Zhao An said indifferently as he gave each of his parents a chicken drumstick.

Zhao Xiaobao smiled, "It doesn't matter if you don't remember. If you have time, go to Uncle's place and play."

"Little An, it's almost time for your college entrance exam. Your academic performance isn't bad, right?" "Your cousin has been accepted by a university in Hong Kong and is preparing to study in Hong Kong!" Hua Mei said proudly.

"Mom... "Don't tell anyone you want to meet them." Zhao Qiya was a bit embarrassed. She shifted her body and sat here. She felt a bit uncomfortable. If her parents didn't insist, she would have left long ago. For young girls, no one was willing to look at others' faces.

Zhao An glanced at his cousin Zhao Qiya, who was slightly older than Zhao An. She was of medium height, wore a turquoise jacket and black pants, had a delicate and pretty body, was tall and slender, had two braids tied around her chest, and was sitting there with her back straightened. She had the slightly familiar feeling of a grown up girl of this age.

Zhao An didn't have a deep impression of this cousin of his. It wasn't wrong to play together often when he was young, but when he grew up, he had the same relationship as many of his brothers and sisters of the opposite sex. He slowly drifted apart, apart from seeing them occasionally on New Year's Day and greeting them as if they were new friends.

In his memories, this cousin of hers had no contact with Zhao An after she went to study abroad. She didn't have a good impression of Zhao Qi An, but neither did she have a bad impression of him, unlike her parents …

Going to Hong Kong is a study abroad? Hong Kong was still a very desirable place in the eyes of many mainland Chinese. Who would have thought that Hong Kong, even though it was still considered extraordinary, would become a parasite of the continent in the eyes of many mainland Chinese ten years later. Hong Kong was easily replaced by "Hong Kong", just like Hong Kong used to call the mainland Chinese "Big Six" and so on.

If it was a normal relationship, Zhao An would more or less persuade him to go to Hong Kong to study. Whether he returned to China to work in the future or to stay in Hong Kong, it would be very awkward.

However, Zhao An obviously wouldn't say anything now.

"Alright. Little An, you have to learn from your cousin." Qin Zhu was quite concerned about this matter and hurriedly told Zhao An.

If Zhao An wanted to study abroad, he could, but he didn't want to travel far in the ocean... As for going to Hong Kong to study, that was fine. In that tiny place, Zhao An was worried that if he looked at the crowded sky and felt that narrow heart of his, he would feel depressed.

Zhao Qiya quickly looked at Zhao An. Her cousin was a stranger. It had been a long time since they last saw each other. He had grown taller and more handsome, but his temperament had changed a lot.

Zhao An nodded in agreement.

Zhao Qiya lowered her head, feeling even more uncomfortable.

"We're all family. Now that Little An is back, I'll just say it directly." Hua Mei pushed her husband and saw that he was sitting back, so she nudged him with her elbow and cleared her throat. "Qi Ya is going to study in Hong Kong, so the annual tuition fee is not a small sum. I would like your support."

Hearing this, Qin Zhu put down her chopsticks. Her heart was filled with unhappiness, but Zhao An's expression remained calm and unperturbed. He poured another bowl of chicken soup for his parents, but ignored his uncle's family.

"Fine." Zhao Dagong nodded, "Looks like I'll have to pay more red packets for the New Year's money for Xiaoya. I didn't even give any this year."

Since his wife had already spoken, Zhao Xiaobao didn't care anymore. He raised his hand. "Big Brother, you know what big brother means. It's not about the New Year's money." I have to borrow some money from you.

"One hundred thousand is enough!" When Zhao An heard this, he suddenly slammed the table and stood up. "Do you think it's ten pieces?" It's not one hundred thousand, I'll give you ten! "

As he said that, Zhao An took out ten yuan and placed it in front of Zhao Wuji.

"You … "You …" Zhao Xiaobao was so angry that his face turned pale.

"Zhao An, why are you talking to your uncle!" Hua Mei also stood up and glared furiously at Zhao An. As she spoke, she paid attention to Qin Zhu and Zhao Dagong's reactions.

Zhao Qiya held onto Hua Mei's arm with a burning red face.

"Last year, my mom came to your house to borrow a thousand dollars to pay my tuition fees, did you guys borrow it? How many times has my father borrowed from you? Did he borrow a cent from you? Right now, your mouths are filled with over a hundred thousand! " Zhao An was so angry that he started laughing, "Don't laugh at me. How can there be such a thing? You guys have no shame!" I've seen thick-skinned people, but not city walls! "

"Great Master, Qin Zhu, look at what your son just said!" Zhao Lifei pointed at Zhao An with his trembling fingers. "Why aren't you taking care of your son? Otherwise, as your big brother, I'll have to help you take care of him!"

"Big brother, I won't trouble you any longer. My son is very well." Zhao Dagong said lightly, but he felt a bit disheartened. He hadn't only aged physically, but also internally. Some things had really disheartened him, to the point where he couldn't be bothered to maintain the shrewdness and politeness that a middle-aged man should have.

"Teach me. This is my house. If you like, teach people to go back to your own house. See you out!" Zhao An opened the door, pointed outside and sneered.

"Dad, mom, let's go back!" Zhao Qi Ya held Hua Mei's hand and walked out. Her eyes were red. After all, she was a young girl with a thin face. How could she endure such a thing?

"Good, very good. "Zhao Datong, the elders in the clan supported me in my visit this time." Zhao Xiaobao had an angry, anxious, and instead had a smile on his face.

Zhao Datong shook his head with a smile and waved his hand.

"For this year's New Year, you have to pay for the road repairs! At that time, I will take this matter as an example and see how you explain it to the other clan uncles. Zhao Xiaobao said with a sneer.

"Who said our family will return home for the new year?" Qin Zhu couldn't bear it any longer.

Zhao Xiaobao and Hua Mei were stunned. Looking at this family of three, who looked completely like strangers, they suddenly felt helpless. It was only now that they felt that if the other party did not agree, they could do nothing to him.

Seeing her parents frozen, Zhao Qi Ya shook off her mother's arm and ran out.

"Alright... "Alright, you guys …"

Zhao Xiaobao pointed and with a flick of his arm, he pulled Hua Mei along as he walked out as well.

Zhao An closed the door. His mother was silently filling the bowl of soup, while his father was no longer as indifferent as before. However, his expression was one of helplessness and disappointment.

After all, he was a brother of dozens of years. It was only when he was truly in trouble did he finally see the so-called "Big Brother" clearly. Last year, when his family was in trouble, Zhao Dagong had borrowed 30,000 from Zhao Dagong … … However, less than two hours after they borrowed the money, Hua Mei received some information from somewhere. She said that Zhao Dagong might not be able to pay and that the business had failed.

When Zhao Dagong's business was doing quite well, he had often helped Zhao Xiaochao in his family. He also gave Zhao Qiya quite a few red packets for every new year's holiday. He did his best to help in every possible way … When Zhao Xiaobing went to make Pu'er tea, Zhao Dagong had advised him to be unreliable, but Zhao Xiaobao had insisted on not listening. Later on, Zhao Dagong had given him fifty thousand yuan, and Zhao Dagong had never asked Zhao Dagong to return the money after losing it.

They were brothers, after all … However, no matter what, Zhao Dagong had never expected his big brother to leave him in such a dangerous situation. What was even more unexpected was that when the school term started last year, Zhao Dagong, who had a lot of work to do, was unable to pay Zhao An's tuition fees, so he let his wife, Qin Zhu, make a trip to Zhao Xiaochao's house.

Hua Mei wouldn't take out a thousand yuan.

"It's hard for them. I don't know how they found the place we're living at now." Zhao An sneered. In fact, Zhao An had an inexplicable reason to loathe Zhao Xiaobao. In his memory, Zhao Xiaobao and Hua Mei had their eyes on the burial fee. If Hu Yue hadn't been paying attention, Zhao An probably wouldn't have gotten the money.

"Forget it, let them be." Qin Zhu called out, "Eat."

"Let's change house early and move." Zhao Datong said firmly.

Zhao An nodded his head. Actually, it wasn't just the family of Zhao that had come to visit. All sorts of so-called relatives and friends who had failed to make it in the past had come to visit him for all sorts of reasons.

This was a new week. He was begging for red votes, all sorts of requests!
