Chapter 2304
Reversing the Heavenly Gang
My uncle lost a lot of money gambling.
He lost his job because of that. The waiter didn't say anything, but Xiao Zhuang, who was standing to the side, revealed all the details.
He Yuzhu and his third senior brother exchanged a glance, and only then did they finally understand the situation completely.
After the reform and opening up, some rural areas that developed earlier started to develop unhealthy tendencies after people had enough to eat.
For example, Qin Jingru's brother originally helped out in the commune and was considered a capable person in that area.
Eating, drinking, and playing cards are probably all quite normal things.
If bad habits and evil practices start to appear in a place, they must originate from these people.
As our ancestors said, "One is born in hardship and dies in comfort."
That's quite accurate.
That's how many things are; happiness that comes too easily is often not cherished.
My younger sister and brother-in-law are wealthy in the city, and the eldest son of the Qin family has secured a good position.
When life gets too comfortable, people become complacent.
"How much money did you and your husband give to the Qin family?" The third senior brother could no longer suppress his anger, and his words were quite cold.
"No, not much," the waiter said in a panic.
He Yuzhu frowned, but still managed to hold back and say nothing.
With his three senior brothers here, there's no need for him to step forward and be the villain.
"Alright, you can go home now."
Tomorrow I'll help Zhuangzhuang register for boarding school.
Don't come to me with your marital issues anymore.
"I can't control it!" The third senior brother stroked the little boy in his arms and coldly expressed his opinion.
Even at this point, the waiter was still trying to hide it.
He was also thinking of his senior brothers, hoping they could help him solve his current troubles.
Again, they were trying to protect their relatives, treating He Yuzhu and the others as outsiders.
Let whoever wants to deal with this mess take care of it.
"Brother..." Xiao Er looked longingly at his third senior brother.
The third senior brother rubbed his temples and said in a deep voice, "I did promise Master and Mistress that I would take care of you."
But waiter, you're already in your late thirties.
It's not that I'm brainless.
Think about it yourself. If you can't even stand on your own two feet, how am I, as your older brother, supposed to take care of you?
You can't even tell the difference between good and bad?
I can't control you, so I can only take good care of Zhuangzhuang.
You two will experience both fortune and misfortune; your future depends entirely on yourselves.
I won't let Zhuangzhuang go hungry or cold, so that he can have a job in the future.
Then I can explain to my master.
The third senior brother's words were sincere, regardless of whether he was trying to put pressure on the second senior brother.
But he must have revealed his worst expectations of the Wang family.
"That's what I think too. You two, even if you ever become unlucky and have to beg for food, remember not to come to my doorstep."
We, as Zhuangzhuang's uncles, will definitely take care of him, at least until he enters society.
"As for you guys, do whatever you want..." He Yuzhu chimed in from the side.
For a serious illness, strong medicine is needed; severe measures are required.
In cases like Xiao Er's, if we don't give him some drastic measures, he'll never change.
"Since my mother passed away, Jingru has given her family about a thousand yuan in total," the waiter said hesitantly.
"Smack..." He Yuzhu slammed his hand on the table next to him, his teeth itching with hatred.
Damn, the old lady has only been gone for a few years.
If this couple continues like this, no matter how much wealth the elderly couple leaves behind, Qin Jingru will squander it all.
No wonder the couple has been so restless these past two years; they seem obsessed with money.
They couldn't even care less about the old lady's dying words.
You should know that Xiao Er is just a warehouse manager. He doesn't have any professional skills, and his meager salary is all earned through years of service.
Now he only earns less than forty yuan a month. In other words, Qin Jingru has given all of Xiao Er's salary over the past two years to her family, and her brother gambled it all away.
The Wang family of three is probably living off their savings.
"Brother Zhu, I refused to lend it to you anymore," the waiter said, feeling wronged.
He Yuzhu let out a long sigh, his face remaining expressionless.
He felt his eyes were dirty just looking at such a hopeless case.
To put it bluntly, He Yuzhu came here today not because of Wang Xiaoer, but because of the old couple and Xiao Zhuang.
If Xiaozhuang can't go to school or afford food now, He Yuzhu will definitely help him.
But he didn't want to say another word about the Wang family's affairs.
"There are only two options now." The third senior brother remained silent for a long time before coldly saying this.
The eyes of the Wang father and son were both fixed on him.
The third senior brother continued, "Little Er, if you really want what's best for Zhuangzhuang, here are two ways."
One was to sever Jingru's ties with her family and take back control of the family's finances.
That thousand yuan is definitely gone for good.
However, there needs to be an explanation.
At the very least, the Qin family should issue an IOU.
If you can make this decision, I'll support you.
"Or, you should break up with Jingru!"
When the third senior brother said the last part, his face was quite ugly.
But as Wang Furong's successor, he has a responsibility to help the Wang family make this decision.
In other words, he has to be the villain.
"Zhuangzhuang, don't blame your third uncle."
There's nothing we can do about it.
If your mother keeps causing trouble like this, your family is definitely going to fall apart.
"Besides, if your mother can come to her senses, anything can be salvaged," He Yuzhu explained to the terrified child beside her.
He Yuzhu felt extremely uncomfortable getting involved in this mess.
But he just happened to run into it, what could he do?
We can't just ignore it, can we?
Xiao Zhuang didn't answer, but just lowered his head and remained silent for a long time. In the end, he took the initiative to hold the hand of his third senior brother.
The third senior brother looked down at his hand being held and smiled with satisfaction.
He's definitely going to be the villain today.
Fortunately, his nephew understood his good intentions, which was his greatest fortune.
That way, they won't be caught in the middle.
The waiter, on the other hand, kept his head down and his fists clenched tightly, probably looking conflicted.
He Yuzhu saw this and sneered inwardly, but still managed to persuade him, "Waiter, how much money do you have at home? Five thousand, ten thousand?"
You need to understand that gambling is a bottomless pit.
Before liberation, there were so many wealthy young men in Beijing that a whole street could be filled with them in a single night.
The second son of Yuan Xiangcheng lost hundreds of thousands of silver dollars in one night.
When he died, his family couldn't even afford to hold a funeral.
Are they not richer than you?
Do you think that by working hard to earn money, you can fill that hole?
It can't be made up for.
Even if we combine the money from all three of us, we still can't make up for it.
Alright, Third Senior Brother, I'm going home now.
Zhuangzhuang, come visit your uncle sometime.
After saying this, he got up and walked out.
The key issue here is not whether he is there or not.
To put it bluntly, it's a question of whether the waiter can figure it out.
If he had been even slightly more decisive, he would have slapped her a few times, sending Qin Jingru packing and back to her parents' home empty-handed.
He Yuzhu admired her for being able to stay at her parents' home for a week.
To put it bluntly, what qualifications does the Qin family have to go head-to-head with the Wang family?
The Heavenly Generals have been turned upside down! (End of Chapter)
