I gritted my teeth and asked, "Maternal aunt, did you come into our room?"
Old woman didn't change her expression and said, "Since Qiu Ying isn't home, I saw the room was quite messy, so I tidied it up a bit. Also, these clothes look outdated, and I thought Qiu Ying probably won't wear them again..." Seeing my displeasure, she awkwardly took off the chain and bracelet, "They look nice, let me try them on... Maternal aunt has lived for so many years and has never seen such nice things before. I used to not believe it when your mother-in-law said you were doing well in Jiangcheng, but now I do."
Why do you care whether we're doing well or not?
How come there are so many fewer books in my study?
"Well, I thought those books were getting in the way, so I called someone from the yard to come and collect them as scrap... I sold them for a total of 18 yuan, and the money is in my pocket."
Where is the pile? That's on my bookshelf!
Each one of them is worth more than just a few tens of dollars!
These are not relatives, they are here to dismantle my home!

The old lady cooked a generous portion of meat and egg rolls, and the whole family gathered around to eat enthusiastically. The food was so delicious that it made their mouths water, and even though there were napkins on the table, the four of them casually wiped their oily fingers on the sofa.
The skinny boy caught sight of the liquor cabinet and said, "Brother-in-law, it's too greasy to eat alone, why don't we have a drink or two?"
The old man also looked up and said, "It's a bit greasy."
The two of them drank two bottles of Jiangcheng Daqu.
The old lady and her daughter helped themselves to drinks from the refrigerator, enjoying the meat and drinks. When it came to bedtime, the old lady waved her hand and the old couple took the second bedroom, while the obese daughter was arranged in the guest room. Then she pointed at her son and said, "Son, you and your brother-in-law can sleep together. His bed is big enough and soft, very comfortable."
This is my bed, and she has laid on it? She really doesn't consider herself an outsider! After all, she's a relative. I'll endure, I'll endure, I'll endure again. maternal uncle Recently, when eating, there's a foreign body sensation in the throat. Annam County Hospital's initial diagnosis is esophagitis, and further examination is recommended. The old lady immediately scolded at the clinic: "Are you sure about your diagnosis? Our family's nephew-in-law runs a big company in Jiangcheng, and my brother-in-law's second cousin's husband runs a big ship in Zhongnanhai. If you're talking nonsense with me, we won't let it go! I think you just want us to spend more money for nothing!"
The doctor was so angry that he called the security guard. I hid in the bathroom and complained to my wife about her relatives from her mother's side. She told me about the situation her mother described. No, we can't provoke such people. I'm ready to cut ties with this family and break off all relations.
I called the property management and explained the situation. The property manager personally came up and said, "Mr. Hu, we received a report that there are chickens in your house. According to the relevant regulations of Jiangcheng city, you need to handle it yourself immediately, or we will handle it for you!"
I replied, "My relatives just brought them, I will ask them to handle it as soon as possible!"
"What do you mean handle it? What's wrong with raising chickens in our own home? Where did you pop out from, you big-headed garlic?"
The old lady came out of the bathroom, still not having fastened her pants, and hopped while cursing, slapping her buttocks and thighs as she cursed. Her daughter, who was "thick around the waist and short in stature, with nothing but her buttocks and waist," pushed the property manager over, saying, "Four-eyes is asking for trouble!" The dog and its old man also joined in, eager to try.
I signaled to the property manager with my eyes, and he raised the walkie-talkie and called out, "Security, security..." Four security guards, all burly and carrying rubber batons, arrived. With my tacit approval, a very composed person played a trick, saying, "Originally, you could have handled this yourselves, but now you can't. It must be handed over to us!" The old lady still wanted to make a scene, and the property manager took out his phone and said, "Mr. Hu, if your family members continue like this, I will have to report it to the police!"
I stepped forward and said, "How about this, they just arrived and are not familiar with the situation in the city. For the sake of my reputation, let's leave it at that for now."
Several security guards caught the rabbit and chicken, and the old lady's family didn't dare to cause trouble.
The orchid I was raising on the balcony, it was a treasure given to me by a client, and now it's been completely ruined.

I took them to the People's Hospital in Jiangbei Province, helped them register, and the doctor prescribed various tests. The total cost of the tests exceeded 3,000 yuan. The family of four looked on calmly, waiting for me to pay the bill.
When the test results came out, I received a phone call. When I came back, the old lady looked distraught: " Yun Ya'zi, the doctor said your fiance's elder brother has esophageal cancer and needs to be hospitalized. The surgery and other expenses will be 50,000 yuan. We only brought 6,000 yuan when we left home. Can you help Auntie with 45,000 yuan?"
Don't worry, our home has saved tens of thousands of dollars for Gousheng to get married. Once I recover, I will repay you every penny you spent." Saving a life is like putting out a fire; I dare not hesitate at this moment. As I took out my wallet, the four pairs of eyes in the family almost sparkled.
I took out my bank card and said, "Give me the payment slip and 5000 yuan, I'll go help my fiance's elder brother pay it." The old lady handed over the money very reluctantly, as if she was giving it to me to spend. At the payment window, the staff returned the cash and said, "Let's just swipe 50000 directly from the card."
The ward is settled, and the old lady instructed again: " Yun Ya'zi, go buy a bed for Gousheng so he can sleep here with your fiance's elder brother. Then go to the hotel outside and book a room for me and your Cuihua sister, and while you're at it, bring back some food."
I spent 45,000 already, so a few more dollars won't make a difference. After everything was done, the old lady said, "You're busy, you don't need to come tomorrow."
Her considerate manner somewhat surprised me.
Looking at the mess at home and thinking about the nearly fifty thousand yuan I spent, I couldn't help but complain to my wife again.
Qiu Ying was also very upset: "Why is this family like this! My mom is the same, I don't even know these relatives, but they still want us to take care of them!"
At night, the property manager came to knock on the door: "Teacher Hu, I also come from the countryside, but I still think your relatives have no manners!" He handed me a large food box: "Those guys finished the rabbit meat, but they left you two chicken legs. Don't tell anyone, but the taste is really good."
The next day, after arranging things at the company, I drove to the hospital and saw that my maternal uncle's hospital bed was empty. When I asked at the nurse's station, the nurse on duty looked disgusted and said, "What kind of person, it was just a case of esophagitis, but he cried and insisted on being hospitalized, paying 50,000 yuan for one night, and then causing a scene like a fire at home and demanding to be discharged!"
Esophagitis? Isn't it esophageal cancer? Did he request to be hospitalized himself?
Hastily going downstairs to the window to handle the discharge procedures, I saw a family waiting in line with a lot of luggage. I hid to the side and called Gousheng:
"Cousin, everything okay at the hospital?"
"No problem, brother-in-law, everything's fine. You just stay busy and don't worry about this side!"
"Okay, I'm going on a business trip out of town these two days, and then I'll go see fiance's elder brother when I come back!"
"Alright, cousin, you go ahead and take care of your business."
The call ended, and I saw the family huddled together whispering something.
Just got back to the office, the phone rang, it was Gousheng: "Hey, brother-in-law, where are you?"
"I'm on the high-speed train, what's up, little brother?"
"Well, um..."
The phone was snatched by the old lady: "Um, your fiance's elder brother said he's spending a lot of money on medical treatment in Jiangcheng and is insisting on coming back to our Annam to seek treatment."
I looked surprised: "For such a serious illness, wouldn't it be better to seek treatment at the provincial court?"
"The doctors have all said that the chemotherapy drugs are the same everywhere..."
"Okay, you guys go handle the procedures, I can't accompany you."
"But, but they said the money you paid has to be refunded to your card? Gousheng came to handle the discharge procedures, why don't you tell the staff inside to refund it to Gousheng..."
