Chapter 767 Zhu Zhe is very unhappy and argues with his brother during the New Year
Lucy's New Year's trip home ended abruptly. Lucy's father had been resentful of Lucy for not having any news for five years, and after Lucy's pregnancy was exposed, this resentment completely erupted.
Lucy is also a strong person. When her father accused her of living an immoral life, she completely exploded, and a fierce conflict immediately broke out between the father and the father.
Since I am not welcome in this family, I might as well leave to avoid embarrassing my mother by being caught between the two of us.
Even Zhou Chen canceled his plan to visit Lucy's parents the next day. Instead of going to their home and being criticized, it is better to stay away from trouble.
So Lucy decided to rest in the hotel for one night and then return to Shanghai tomorrow. Zhou Chen had no objection to this. After all, it was Lucy's family's trouble, so she should make the decision herself.
As an outsider, he couldn't get involved, not to mention that Lucy had such a scumbag father. It was the right decision for her to stay away, and Zhou Chen of course chose to support her.
Haha, Zhou Chen didn't have a smooth New Year, and Zhu Zhe, who lived in Ode to Joy, was even more troubled because his mother, who favored boys over girls, came to find fault with him again during the New Year.
Zhu Zhe felt lonely while eating alone, but then her mother called. It must be something important if she called at this time. She wondered what kind of trouble they would cause her next?
Zhu Zhe frowned but still answered the phone. She didn't want to have a conflict with her family during the New Year.
"Hey, Mom, your unfilial daughter is still working overtime. I'm so busy that I don't even have time to eat.
Because of the Chinese New Year, many people have taken leave, so our hotel is really busy. I don’t even have time to call you to wish you a happy new year. Have you had dinner yet?
As soon as the phone was connected, Zhu Zhe started to play the victim and made excuses for not going home.
"Hey, no matter how busy you are, you have to eat, big girl. You have to take care of your health after work.
Erniu is married, and you didn't come back for the New Year, so our New Year's Eve dinner was really tasteless. By the way, I heard that overtime work during the New Year is triple paid, right?
Since you didn't come back, could you send more money home after the Chinese New Year? Don't you know that your brother lost his job because of his breakup with his girlfriend?
Before the New Year, he went to the city to look for several jobs, but all turned down a chance. We plan to spend some money and use our connections to find a good job for your brother after the New Year. That way, when your brother becomes successful, you can feel a little more respectable, right? "
The mother explained the purpose of her call, which was to ask her daughter for money. Zhu Zhe was not surprised by this. Her parents at home favored boys over girls and always wanted to suck blood from her to subsidize her younger brother.
But Zhu Zhe would not agree blindly. After all, her money did not come from the wind, so she immediately expressed her position: "Mom, don't blame me for pouring cold water on you. You should know my brother's character better than anyone else.
He has high expectations but lacks the skills, and is blindly arrogant. He thinks he is very capable just because he went to college. If he really has the ability, he should achieve something decent for me in my hometown.
What you said about hitting a wall in many job searches in your hometown is because you couldn't stay in any of the jobs for long, or because you didn't clearly understand your own position.
He will give up immediately as soon as the work becomes a little hard or tiring. With such a mentality, he will not be able to accomplish anything. Can you guarantee that he will be able to do the job you pay for?
You should all be very clear about how realistic this society is. If you don't have the ability, people will find a reason to fire you, and then you'll be left with nothing."
In Zhu Zhe's opinion, his younger brother's biggest problem is that he was spoiled by his parents. Their blind pampering made him have high expectations but poor skills and turned him into a playboy from a poor family.
He always wants the best in everything he does, but the problem is that he has neither ability nor money. Why should people in society spoil him?
"Oh, how can you say that about your brother?"
Although Zhu Zhe's mother knew that what her daughter said was true, when she saw her son's ugly face next to her, she immediately began to blame Zhu Zhe.
If Zhu Zhe's mother's attitude was still calm, then her brother was completely furious. Am I useless in your heart?
"You think you know me well, you say I'm arrogant and have high expectations but low skills. I also want to work down to earth, but are those jobs really done by humans?
Those jobs require hard labor and overtime to earn hard-earned money. If I really do such jobs, then my four years of college would have been wasted.
You have been working down-to-earth for more than ten years, but you are still a stinky cleaner. Do you want me to be the same as you?
Humph, I'm embarrassed to tell anyone about this. If others knew about this, how would I survive in my hometown in the future? "
From the very beginning, Zhu Minjie looked down on his sister Zhu Zhe. He always thought that his sister was just a cleaning staff in the hotel, so his words were very rude.
Zhu Zhe is such a shrewd person. How could she possibly exaggerate her position when she knew that her family members were trying to suck her blood?
After all, the higher the position, the higher the salary, and the bigger their appetite for bloodsucking will be, so Zhu Zhe has always told her family that her job is a cleaner in a hotel.
It is obviously impossible to expect Zhu Minjie, a man with high expectations but poor skills, to respect a cleaner.
Humph, he is indeed an ungrateful person. Although he knows that his brother is a good-for-nothing, it does make Zhu Zhe feel uncomfortable to hear these words spoken in front of him.
"Stinky cleaner? But your living expenses and tuition for college were all paid by a stinky cleaner like me. Is this how you view your elder sister?
Zhu Minjie, are you ungrateful? Did you learn in college how to suck blood from your family?
If you are really awesome and have a strong character, just return all the money you spent on your four years of college to me. Then I will give you a thumbs up to prove that you, Zhu Minjie, are awesome.
As a college student living off your parents in your hometown, I really don’t know how you have the nerve to say such words.”
Zhu Zhe immediately retorted, "You eat my food and wear my clothes, and yet you dare to turn against me? Who do you think you are?"
Seeing that her son and daughter had a conflict, and her daughter even asked her son to pay back the money, Zhu Zhe's mother immediately realized that she could not continue to make trouble.
After all, this family still relies on Zhu Zhe. If Zhu Zhe really turns against them, things will be troublesome.
Zhu Zhe's mother immediately scolded her son, "Xiao Jie, how can you talk to your sister like that? Hurry up and apologize to your sister. Who does your sister work so hard for? It's for you."
Zhu Zhe quickly interrupted, "Don't talk nonsense, I work hard for myself, not for certain people.
I'm busy with work now, so I'll hang up now. We can talk later if we have anything else to do."
Zhu Zhe hung up the phone after he finished speaking. If he continued, his mother would flatter him. What do you mean by "I work hard for my brother"? Do I earn all the money for him?
Do I need to work hard for him all my life? Can't I have my own life?
Haha, it’s hard to take off this compliment once you put it on, so Zhu Zhe could only choose to interrupt his mother’s words.
After hanging up the phone, Zhu Zhe continued to eat his dinner by himself. It turns out that one can't have any expectations of his family?
