Chapter 28
Niu Dapang Refused to Be a Loser Anymore
After saying all this, Niu Dapang sighed:
“Big Sister, you must be laughing at me.”
Tie Lanyan shook her head: “It’s nothing, every family has its own problems.
But I don’t understand, I see you’re quite capable outside, why are you so powerless at home?”
“Hey, I don’t understand myself either, I clearly support the family, but I always feel like I can’t hold my head up.”
Niu Dapang’s voice choked up when he talked about this:
“I spent all my savings to help my sister and brother with their jobs and marriages.
But now it’s my turn, and my family just says they have no money, and my sister and brother don’t stand by me.
I don’t know what I did wrong, I’m clearly the most sensible one.
But in the end, no one likes me, am I really that bad?”
Tie Lanyan: “No, I think you’re a great person, you’re not only hardworking but also kind-hearted, I’m very happy to know you as a friend.
You’ve done enough for your family, they’re the ones who are wrong, you haven’t done anything wrong.”
Hearing this, Niu Dapang immediately burst into tears:
“Big Sister, you’re the only one who understands me!
I can’t even tell my girlfriend, I’m afraid she’ll think too much and have a bad opinion of my family.
I’ve been in a bad mood these days, I’ve been holding it in, I’m about to get an internal injury!
I can’t sleep at night, I keep thinking about why my family would treat me like this…”
Niu Dapang couldn’t hold back anymore and burst into tears:
“My girlfriend doesn’t know about this yet… Every time I see her, I have to put on a brave face…
She’s so good… I’m sorry for her… Wuwuwu…”
The 200-pound Niu Dapang was crying like a baby.
Tie Lanyan didn’t say anything, she just stood there and waited for him to vent.
After 10 minutes, Niu Dapang’s crying subsided.
He wiped his tears and snot awkwardly: “Big Sister, you’re laughing at me again.”
“It’s nothing, come on, let’s go take a look at my house.”
Tie Lanyan didn’t dare to comfort him anymore.
What if she said something that triggered him again, he would probably cry again, she had to change the subject.
Hearing about looking at the house, Niu Dapang perked up.
“Okay, let’s go!”
……
When they reached Tie Lanyan’s house, Niu Dapang stopped at the gate.
“Big Sister, you live in a house with a courtyard, the rent must be very expensive.”
He still had.
Niu Dapang didn’t have much money left, he needed it for the wedding, he couldn’t afford the rent if it was too expensive.
This was also the biggest reason why he hadn’t found a house in the past few days.
Tie Lanyan: “It’s not expensive, you’re a friend, I’ll give you a friendly price.”
She wasn’t trying to make money.
The house had been empty for a long time, and it was easy for dust to accumulate if no one took care of it.
The furniture, walls, and everything would get moldy, and it might attract insects and mice, making the house a mess.
This was the house that the original owner’s parents had built with hard work, she had to preserve it.
So she could lower the rent, but she had one requirement, the house had to be taken care of regularly, and there couldn’t be any damage.
Hearing Tie Lanyan’s request, Niu Dapang patted his chest and assured her:
“Big Sister, don’t worry, I’m very good at doing chores, I’ll definitely keep your house clean!”
Tie Lanyan raised an eyebrow: “You’ll clean?”
Niu Dapang: “Yes, my girlfriend cooks hard enough, washing dishes and cleaning are naturally my job.”
Tie Lanyan gave him a thumbs up: “Manly!”
“Of course!” Niu Dapang chuckled.
The rest went smoothly.
Tie Lanyan only asked for half the price, four yuan, and asked Niu Dapang to send her the money every month to the town post office where she was going down to the countryside.
Niu Dapang was a little surprised: “Big Sister, you trust me so much, what if I don’t send you the money, what will you do then?”
Tie Lanyan smiled at him: “Then I’ll come to your house in the middle of the night and chop you up.”
“Ah?” Niu Dapang shivered.
He suddenly remembered Tie Lanyan beating up several people by herself, and beating San Hengzi until his nose bled.
“Big Sister… I was wrong… I was just joking… You’re so kind to me, I definitely won’t go back on my word!”
Niu Dapang quickly explained.
Tie Lanyan chuckled: “I was just joking too, I trust you.”
Her judgment wouldn’t be wrong.
If she really misjudged someone, she would collect interest later.
The contract period was naturally two years, and she would be back in two years.
Niu Dapang: “That’s fine, two years is enough for me to save money, then I’ll have money to buy a house.”
Ironically, he never had his own room growing up.
When he was a child, his family was poor, so it was understandable. Later, when he grew up, his parents got a house from their work unit, but the house was too small, so he and his younger brother shared a room, which was also normal.
A few years ago, he saved up some money and asked his parents to find a bigger house from the work unit, but he still didn’t have his own room.
His parents’ explanation was that his older sister was pregnant, so they kept that room for her baby.
In the end, the baby didn’t live there, and his younger brother and his wife moved in.
Anyway, no matter how they rearranged it, there was no room for him…
Tie Lanyan and Niu Dapang went to the street office and quickly finalized the rental agreement.
Niu Dapang wanted to treat Tie Lanyan to a meal at a state-owned restaurant, but Tie Lanyan said it wasn’t necessary.
“Your top priority now is to talk to your girlfriend about your family situation, communicate with each other, and don’t be so foolish in the future, you need to think more about yourself.”
Niu Dapang was moved: “I understand, thank you, Big Sister.”
After venting, he suddenly realized a lot.
He was indeed too foolish.
He foolishly gave everything without getting anything in return, and he ended up in a mess.
He wouldn’t give all his money to his family anymore.
Once he got married, he would naturally prioritize his own family, and live a happy life with his wife.
As for that family, whoever wanted to contribute could contribute.
Niu Dapang would never be a loser again!
