Chapter 31

“I exchanged my bicycle ticket for a sewing machine ticket and 50 yuan.” Du Yimeng said evasively. At the same time, she looked at her mother with grievance.

“What? How could you change the bicycle ticket? Why are you so stupid?” Du Weihai was disheveled in the wind. That was a bicycle ticket that you could not buy even if you had money!

For the first time, he discovered that his proud daughter was actually a fool…

“You are stupid…your whole family is stupid…my Dameng is very smart!” Du’s mother immediately retorted when she received Du Yimeng’s aggrieved look.

How could she not know his little thoughts? He just wanted to buy a bicycle to show off in his hometown, haha… men…

No matter how much they show off, their family is still just a working class one and cannot be a cadre family.

As for commuting, even if you move to the courtyard, it only takes more than ten minutes to walk. If you ride a bicycle, you can get to the factory the next second after you put your butt on the bicycle.

Besides, there are three people in the family going to work, who will ride the bicycle?

A bicycle is just a decoration for their family. Why would they spend so much money to buy a decoration to put in their home?

Besides, Daming did all this just to buy her a sewing machine. She worked so hard to serve the family, but in the end, only Daming remembered her hard work.

Her gloomy eyes swept over the father and son, a group of ungrateful people.

Father and sons: …

“Listen to me…” Du Weihai was about to explain the importance of bicycle tickets when he was interrupted by his mother.

“Why should I listen to you? I want to listen to Dameng…” Du’s mother’s chattering, and the chattering Lao Wu was very much like Du’s mother at this moment.

“Okay, whatever you say is right.” Du Weihai revealed that he couldn’t win against his wife. This reminded him of a piece of advice given to him by his co-workers, ‘When you reason with a woman, you’ve already lost.’

Du Yimeng looked at Du Weihai apologetically. She didn’t mean to do it. He forced her to do it. She didn’t want to do it.

I would rather die than let my friend die.

I’m sorry, her biological father.

“Da Meng, come into the room with me. I have something to tell you.” After dealing with Du Weihai, Du’s mother pulled Du Yimeng into her room like a victorious fighting cock.

“Da Meng, this is 138 yuan. As for the ticket, just think of it as mom taking advantage of you.” Du’s mother stuffed the money into Du Yimeng’s hand.

She thought Daming was a fool who didn’t know to save some money for herself, but she didn’t expect Daming to follow her.

“Mom, what are you doing?” Du Yimeng returned the money while speaking. Her small piggy bank was several times more than that of her family, so she really wasn’t short of money.

“Take it. Even if you are my biological daughter, I can’t lie on you and suck your blood. Mom is not that kind of person.” Du’s mother stuffed the money into Du Yimeng’s hand again, still in a way that would not be refused.

“We have money at home, and your dad and I decided that we couldn’t give the jobs away for free, so we sold the two jobs to your eldest uncle and your second uncle’s family. They only need 200 yuan for each job, which is already fair to them. Your dad and I are not well educated, but we know the principle of gratitude over debt. You have to remember, don’t think too highly of others, even if they are your own relatives.” Du’s mother said meaningfully.

Just like she said before, as long as she said a job paid 400 yuan, anyone would come to her house and make a living.

Besides, if they give it to them for free, not only will they not be grateful to them, they might even think that they got the job for free.

Even if it is the truth, I can’t say it…

Du Yimeng looked at Du’s mother with sparkling eyes. She didn’t expect Du’s mother to say such profound words.

“What are you looking at? Do you really think your mother can’t do anything except scolding people?” Seeing Du Yimeng looking at her with sharp eyes, Du’s mother couldn’t help but blushing and said coquettishly.

“Mom is the most powerful. If anyone dares to laugh at her, I will be the first to stop him.” Du Yimeng raised her chin and said proudly, making her mother laugh.

When Du Yimeng and her mother came out of the room, they saw the four brothers, who had just taken a shower and were all wet, sitting there enjoying the fans, while Du Weihai was still sitting there, looking unhappy.

After seeing this, Du Yimeng returned to his room and came out with a bag of fruit candies in his hand.

When Lao Wu saw the bag of fruit candy, his eyes lit up as brightly as the puppy seeing the dog bones.

No wonder my second brother only took out half a pound of sugar coupons at the supply and marketing cooperative today. It turns out they were all here.

He liked his sister so much, but his sister liked his father. It was a wrong choice after all…

“Dad, this is my gift to you.” Du Yimeng handed the bag of candy to Du Weihai. Unexpectedly, he turned his head away proudly at first, but within two seconds, he quickly took the thing.

Du Yimeng smiled helplessly when he saw this. It is absolutely true that a man remains a boy until he dies.

“Da Meng, I don’t want to nag you, it’s just that bicycle tickets are too hard to get. Didn’t you see that only the leaders in the factory have bicycles?” Du Weihai tried to hold it in for a long time but still couldn’t.

In his opinion, Da Meng will become a leader sooner or later. Which leader walks to work?

Who is he trying so hard for?

It was a wrong payment after all…

Then his eyes fell on the candies in his hand. If it weren’t for these candies, he really wouldn’t have been able to get through this hurdle today. It hurts his heart to think about it!

No, why did Da Meng give him a bag of candy?

Could it be that his little secret was discovered by Dameng?

He felt that his lofty image as a father was crumbling at this moment…

“Dad, don’t you like candy? Then give it to me, I love it…” As soon as Du Weihai showed a conflicted expression on his face, Lao Wu took action immediately, and his words almost sent Du Weihai away.

“Who said I don’t like to eat?” Du Weihai growled in a low voice. So what if he admitted it?

He is the head of the family, who dares to laugh at him?

“Dad, how can you, a grown man, like to eat candy?” Lao Wu still wanted to struggle.

“Aren’t you a man?” Du Weihai glared at Lao Wu fiercely. He felt that he had raised this son in vain.

“I’m not. My second brother said that I can only be considered a man when all my hair grows out…” Lao Wu’s words made Du Weihai frown, and everyone else looked at him with strange eyes.

Du’s mother: She actually gave birth to a fool…

Du Yimeng: What are these vile words?

However, after Lao Wu’s interruption, his father would no longer worry about the bicycle ticket.

“Go pack up your things, we’ll be moving tomorrow…” Du’s mother yelled. The four brothers didn’t dare to stay for a second and quickly rushed back to their rooms.

“You should teach the fifth brother more. Everyone in the Du family is smart, but he is the only one who is stupid. You can tell at first glance that he is not a member of the Du family.” Du’s mother said to Du Weihai worriedly.

She sighed silently in her heart. Even though she usually yelled at Lao Wu the most, besides Dameng, she loved Lao Wu the most.

Her words made Du Weihai’s heart tremble. What did she mean?

Want to confront him?

Want to tell him that Lao Wu is not his son?

Then what’s the point of him working like a workhorse all these years?

“Hmph…” Du’s mother snorted coldly when she saw that Du Weihai’s face was as red as a color palette. People with too many thoughts like to think too much.

After Du Weihai met the death-like gaze of his wife, he breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he was overthinking.
