Chapter 132: Aunt's Way of Gilding

City.

Aunt Song Hongmei hung up the phone, paced around the room twice, and finally gritted her teeth, took a bag of locust flowers and went to the opposite residential area.

Seventh Uncle lived here.

When they were demolished, the old couple wanted to live with their son, so they specifically asked for a large apartment.

Didn't expect that plans couldn't keep up with changes, the house was delayed again and again, and by the time it was built, the son had long taken root in the frontier.

Now living in a large, empty house, the old couple found it difficult just to clean it every day.

When Song Hongmei knocked on the door, Seventh Uncle was watering on the balcony—

No way, this residential area was quite new, but the apartment type was still the old one. The balcony was not very big, and in order to make full use of it, Seventh Uncle built a layer of railings, then a layer of plastic boxes below, and a layer of plastic water pipes hollowed out above, small onions, garlic sprouts, lettuce, cabbage... all planted inside.

Spring and autumn were fine, but not many could survive in winter.

But once it reached summer, the ventilation of this closed balcony was not good, and even planting a tomato could grow red spiders, yet they didn't like to use medicine on things they ate.

Once it reached summer, Seventh Uncle would mutter when buying vegetables.

The most annoying thing was that the vegetables they planted on their own balcony, due to light, ventilation, and other reasons, didn't grow as well as those sold by vegetable vendors!

After tossing and turning for so many years, Seventh Uncle himself had lost heart.

It was just that the habit of planting vegetables couldn't be dropped for a while, so the balcony was still covered with a dense layer of green leaves.

Seventh Aunt went to open the door: "Eh, Hongmei, why did you come over late at night?"

Song Hongmei smiled, and then said loudly: "Uncle, I brought you a bag of locust flowers, smell it, absolutely delicious!"

Didn't Seventh Uncle know her?

At this moment, he snorted coldly: "Hongmei, you plucked this casually when you returned to your hometown, right? If it cost even one more yuan, you wouldn't be willing to bring it to me."

This is what was said.

Song Hongmei laughed dryly twice: "Uncle, how can you think of me like that? I'm not that kind of person."

"You are."

Seventh Uncle remembered it in his heart: "When you were thinking about my house last time, the vegetables you brought looked fresh, but I knew at a glance that you must have bargained with others to buy them, just cleaned them up finely."

This was why he refused Song Hongmei's proposal to support them in their old age no matter what.

It was really that living together, they couldn't get along at all!

This guy, stingy!

He also knew Song Youde's family, and didn't know how they raised this girl, the abacus was refined.

Therefore, he didn't look at the bag of locust flowers, and walked to the rocking chair with his hands behind his back and sat down: "If you are still talking about the last time, then I tell you—it won't work, when you are willing to bring me abalone, sea cucumber, shark fin, and fish maw, then we will talk slowly."

Abalone, sea cucumber, shark fin, and fish maw?!

Aunt wouldn't even think about such ingredients! Just hearing it made her heart ache.

Hurry up and say: "Uncle, I didn't come for myself today, I came for my niece."

Seventh Uncle became interested: "Which niece?"

Aunt quickly explained: "My brother's daughter, Tan Tan, Song Tan—do you still remember?"

"Oh my, the girl has a nose and eyes, and is filial, her character is absolutely qualified!"

"That won't work." Seventh Uncle refused decisively: "I don't want a girl to support me in my old age."

"Why?" Aunt was unhappy: "Are you favoring boys over girls?"

Seventh Uncle was not angry either: "What do you mean I favor boys over girls? You go and see, in the ten miles and eight villages, including our city, is there any girl supporting her parents in their old age?"

"I don't know what kind of character your niece has, with your guarantee, it's mostly trustworthy. The problem is if she gets married and starts a family, her husband's family doesn't like it, can she divorce for me?"

Seventh Uncle is old and has experienced many things, and he has seen many girls in this world.

Many girls, no matter how excellent they are before marriage, will lose two liang of bones after marriage, and whatever the husband's family says is what it is.

There are also strong ones, but after marrying, it is inevitable to suffer grievances. Why should he get involved?

Therefore, for the sake of simplicity, he refused first.

"Besides, if I look for your niece, if I fall and break an arm or leg, can she carry me, or can she call her man to serve me?"

Those who are interested in the house, then people are definitely willing, but how they will take care of it is unclear.

When people get old, there are many ways to toss people.

Seventh Uncle shook his head: "I can't take this risk."

What he said was also the truth.

If it were before, Aunt also had this suspicion in her heart, but the problem was that when she went home, she saw her niece's ability.

Just say digging bamboo shoots, a basket is always a hundred jin, right? Her beautiful and fair niece, holding one in each hand, walking like flying!

Isn't this stronger than a man?

Not to mention if Seventh Uncle fell, even if he was paralyzed, she could tuck him under her arm and send him to the hospital!

But this is not easy to say, it's ugly.

Aunt pointed to the sky and swore: "Don't worry, if she didn't have that strength, I wouldn't have come here specifically!"

"As for what happens after marriage... Uncle, I'll tell you the truth, it's not just for this house, it's mainly for you as a person. Let me tell you about her family's situation first—"

Her tongue is rarely matched in the world, which is Seventh Uncle's inner calmness, so he listened to her finish steadily, and then pondered for a while:

"You mean, her family supports me, I go to her family to be a chef, and I have to bring her stupid brother later?"

"Uncle, look at what you said, my nephew is smart, obedient, you will definitely feel sorry for him when you see him!"

Aunt said righteously and confidently.

Oh my, this big pancake, Seventh Uncle had indigestion.

He shook his head: "It won't work, it won't work, this girl's burden is too heavy, I don't like it."

Aunt pushed the bag of locust flowers in front of him:

"Like it or not, look at the quality of the vegetables my niece plants first? The Chinese milk vetch in their fields this year is sold for twenty a jin, have you seen vegetables of this quality in the vegetable market?"

"Uncle, I'll tell you the truth, with this house of yours, once you put the words out in the future, there will be plenty of people coming to show filial piety."

"But looking at the individual is useless, buying a pig must look at the circle. You know my brother's character, and you know what my dad and the others are like in their hometown. Our Song family is not alone, there are many relatives, so we definitely won't be bullied, and our bodies are hard."

"I dare to put the words here today, I can definitely make you spend your old age in peace."

"Besides, isn't this discussing inviting you home to be a chef? That's also a salary, not making you work for nothing."

"Don't you shout every day that it's boring here, and worry about it being inconvenient if you have a headache or fever when you return to your hometown?"

"Isn't this just right? There is a job, and my niece also has a car. Whether it works or not, I will bring the child to see you tomorrow, consider the chef's job first!"

"To tell you the truth, my niece earns so much money, whether she likes your house or not is another matter."

Of course, don't look at Aunt saying it so cow-like, in fact, according to her idea: such a big house, worth over a million, why wouldn't she like it!

But isn't this Seventh Uncle not agreeing?

Must stick some gold on the face.
