After drinking and eating, Zhu's father finally couldn't help but show off with Yuan Jia: "Yuan Jia, Zhu Lin is also your younger brother. You two have been sleeping in the same room and grew up together. Although they are not brothers, they are better than brothers. Zhu Lin gets married and the woman wants a new house. You also know that the housing prices are rising sharply now, uncle is useless, and he has not saved enough down payment so far. Look... can you provide some support?"

Zhu's father was a little embarrassed. It was the first time he opened his mouth to ask his juniors to borrow money. Although he was smart in calculating, he was just smart in not taking advantage of others. He had never taken advantage of others on his own initiative. He still wanted face.

However, when the interests are huge enough, face is not that important.

"Yuan Jia, don't worry, you will definitely pay back the money in the future!" Zhu's father said with confidence.

Zhu Lin, who was sitting by the side, was shocked. He glanced at Yuan Jia and said in anger: "Dad! Why are you borrowing money from Brother Yuan Jia? Didn't you agree to sell the old house as a down payment? There is no need to borrow money!"

Just now at the dinner table, Zhu's father kept praising Yuanjia for being capable and promising, and being able to start from scratch by himself, much better than Zhu Lin.

Although what he said was a fact, he also had the intention of flattering Yuan Jia and laying the foundation for later borrowing money.

But these words from Zhu's father deeply hurt Zhu Lin's self-esteem.

Zhu Lin was just asked by Tong Yun's soul question before, and now Zhu's father compared Yuan Jia, who was successful in his career.

This made Zhu Lin wonder. Is he really that bad? If he had the ability of Yuan Jia, wouldn’t there be any obstacles between him and Tong Yun? Will he get married smoothly and happily?

Zhu Lin, who was stinged with self-esteem, was inevitably angry and embarrassed.

But Zhu's father could not understand Zhu Lin's current mood. He was still angry at Zhu Lin's sabotage and scolded: "Shut up! What does it mean to borrow money? If there is so much money, do you want to borrow money and bear debts? You don't see what you have become for a woman now. You have no job and don't have much savings. You have to pay for your wedding house and pay me my coffin book!!"

Zhu Lin's face turned red and speechless.

He really can't do anything. He even had to rely on his father to bow his head to find someone to borrow money to pay the down payment. He may not even be able to withstand the loans for decades later.

Zhu Lin, who finally realized the cruelty of reality, smiled pale and said with a pale smile: "Dad, forget it, I won't get married anymore, and I don't have to buy a wedding house."

If he can't buy a wedding house by himself, don't let his father sell the house unfilially and help him.

As for borrowing money from Yuan Jia, his step-brother, Zhu Lin didn't have such a big face to ask for money, and the relationship between the two parties was not very good. In the past eight years, the two parties cut off contact. Their family put on their faces just to borrow money, and he was unwilling to borrow money from another place.

Even if Yuanjia is rich, no one’s money is blown by the strong wind, and the amount you borrowed is not small. Zhu Lin did not have the confidence to repay the money, so he simply stopped borrowing it from the beginning.

Without waiting for Zhu's father to say anything, Zhu Lin stood up and bowed to Yuan Jia, saying, "I'm sorry, Brother Yuan Jia." He stood up and looked at Zhu's father, "I won't borrow any money, because I can't afford it."

Zhu Lin turned around and returned to his room and closed the door. He looked up at the hanging cabinet on his bed. The hanging cabinet was still there, containing his clothes and quilts.

He still remembers that Zhuo’s mother brought Zhuo Yuanjia to his house for the first time. Zhuo Yuanjia was arranged to sleep in that cabinet. At night, Zhuo Yuanjia turned over. He also lost his temper and disliked Zhuo Yuanjia’s turnover action so that he slept.

It seems that since then, Zhuo Yuanjia has never turned over again when he sleeps.

＜＜＜＜＜＜

Zhu Lin's words made Yuan Jia look at him with some admiration.

Although Zhu Lin is innocent and not motivated, he is still a little self-aware.

Yuan Jia looked at Zhu's stunned father and smiled and said, "Uncle Zhu, since Zhu Lin has said that, I will leave first."

He put down the chopsticks in his hand, picked up the dumplings that were gnawing ribs and left.

Zhu's father stood up and tried to stay and said, "Hey, Yuan Jia will stay for a while? How many days will he stay at home?"

Even if you don’t borrow money, it is definitely a great thing to be close to such a big business owner. Of course, Zhu’s father must try his best to keep him.

Yuan Jia said bluntly: "I am afraid that I can't sleep with that wall cabinet now, so I can't stay there."

Zhu's father sent Yuan Jia out with an awkward expression.

When he turned around, he saw Zhuo's mother eating with the leftovers with the chopsticks. He said angrily: "What else can I eat? Why didn't you know that you came out to talk to Yuan Jiaduo just now, bringing closer feelings? After all, it's a mother and son. Can he really ignore you or not?"

Zhuo's mother put the bowl heavily on the table and snorted coldly: "I've been busy for most of the day. You've sat down and ate ready-made food to fill your stomach. I'm so hungry that I'm not allowed to eat some leftovers? You also said that Yuan Jia and I are mother and son, and we have to take care of our conflicts?!"

Although Yuan Jia ignores her now, Zhuo’s mother has learned about Yuan Jia’s current value since she knew it. She has unknowingly straightened her back in the Zhu family and dared to force her father to Zhu.

Of course, Zhu's father was angry when he suddenly spoke back to Zhuo's mother, but he couldn't do anything to Zhuo's mother even when he was angry.

Divorce? He is in his fifties. Can you find a better wife than Zhuo’s mother after divorce? He has been with Zhuo’s mother for almost twenty years and has long been used to it. Now he cannot live without Zhuo’s mother, but Zhuo’s mother cannot live without him.

Stop the household use? Zhuo’s mother also has a job, and she doesn’t earn much, but she spends money on her own. When he stops the household use, Zhuo’s mother can ignore the father and son, and she can’t even eat a hot meal when she goes home.

He couldn't beat Zhuo's mother even when he quarreled, so Zhu's father could only sulk with him.

After Zhuo's mother had arguing with Zhu's father, she lowered her head to eat. As she ate, she looked at the bowls and chopsticks that Yuan Jia had used and she shed tears.

She heard what Yuan Jia said before. After all, the house is only so big and the dining table is close to the kitchen. Yuan Jia did not deliberately lower his voice, so Zhuo's mother could naturally hear it clearly in the kitchen.

When she heard her son say that he hadn't eaten such a good meal she had made in 18 years, she couldn't help but cry.

She would not think that this was Yuan Jia’s slip of the tongue like Zhu’s father, because she knew that since she remarried to the Zhu family with her son, she had become her son’s stepmother. Everything delicious food they cook belonged to Zhu Lin, the stepson. Her son would even teach her a lesson when he stretched out his chopsticks.

Then her son would never stretch his chopsticks to the delicious dishes on the dining table again.

When she did that, she didn't think there was anything wrong with her stepsons, and she was complacent about her stepsons being better than their parents and children. She was so proud that she was such a good stepmother.

But now almost twenty years have passed, and what else has her behavior ended up besides pushing her own son far away? Her stepson still treats her as a stepmother with ill intentions.

Thinking about how she felt when Yuan Jia only gave gifts to Zhu's father but completely ignored her, she could feel the pain when her son was neglected by her.

She has no shame to meet her son, so let's do it.

The son doesn't need her self-righteous compensation. Perhaps the best compensation is that she will never cause trouble for him.

＜＜＜＜＜＜

After Yuan Jia left the Zhu family, he checked the female protagonist Tong Yun’s current workplace according to the original plot according to the description of the heroine eight years later.

Sure enough, Tong Yun was still working in that company, so he asked someone to help him watch Tong Yun for a while.

Because he was a little curious about the plot after the reunion of the male and female protagonists.

Unexpectedly, the male lead Zhu Lin, who should have found the heroine Tong Yun company, has not appeared.

Seeing that the heroine Tong Yun was having a hot fight with her boss and director, she confirmed her boyfriend and girlfriend relationship, and the male supporting role was about to take the lead, and the male protagonist Zhu Lin had not yet appeared.

Yuan Jia checked Zhu Lin's situation again, but Zhu Lin honestly found a job from 9 to 5 near his home. He clocked in to work every day and worked diligently. He did not come late or leave too much, and did not take too much leave. He became a qualified social animal.

Is the male protagonist giving up looking for his true love heroine?

Yuan Jia conducted an in-depth investigation and found out that Zhu Lin had met Tong Yun once a long time ago, and the specific situation was not found out, but it was not so beautiful, otherwise Zhu Lin would not have been hit so much that he gave up and chased Tong Yun back.

More than a year has passed.

Zhu Lin, a qualified social animal, has become accustomed to the blessing of working overtime. He has worked hard to save money and wants to buy a house with his own abilities, so he works hard.

As the male lead, Zhu Lin is naturally not too bad, but he is not particularly outstanding, and his career has not improved much in one year.

Even if you save all the money you earn every month, you can't buy a house after saving for decades.

Originally, Zhu Lin was shocked by his pitiful deposits, and at this time he received Tong Yun’s wedding invitation.

That was an invitation from Tong Yun through a college friend: "I'm going to get married, are you willing to attend my wedding?"

Zhu Lin looked at the invitation with a dull look on his face. He was stunned for a while. He came to his senses and smashed his phone directly.

Zhu Lin covered his face and started crying silently.

Even though he had decided to give up long ago, because he could not give her a happy life, he was a useless person.

But he really loves her!

After all, I missed it forever.

Zhu Lin did not attend the wedding. He deliberately escaped this reality and indulged in his own world with his happy memories of his own and Tong Yun.

He returned to his past confusion and lost his energy at work.

Seeing his condition, Zhu's father couldn't wake up even if he scolded him, and he couldn't listen to him, so he could only sigh and let go.

Compared to Zhu Lin's bad condition, Tong Yun lives a happy and happy life.

She was with the director who pursued her. She did not hide her past and told the director about her past, including her once a child for Zhu Lin.

But the director did not mind her past, but instead felt pity for her more. He said to her: "The past is completely over. Don't stay in the shadow of the past and come out. I will lead you to walk together in the future."

The director is young and promising, and relies on his own ability to gain his current status. He also took out his savings to buy the full amount of the wedding house early. His parents are both very open-minded and do not plan to live with their young couple after marriage.

After Tong Yun's parents figured out the situation at the director's home, they agreed to the marriage with satisfaction.

Tong Yun asked curiously about her mother: "Why don't you want him to write my name on the property certificate this time?"

Tong Yun's mother smiled and said, "He bought the house in full, and you don't need to pay the loan after marriage. We don't need to take advantage of this. If you live a good life in the future, mom will be relieved."

The two families have a lot of negotiations about marriage and are very harmonious.

Tong Yun looked at the harmonious appearance of her parents talking about the marriage with her boyfriend's parents, and when she recalled the tense atmosphere between her parents and Zhu Lin's father back then, she couldn't help but be more sure that her current choice was the right one.

Marriage is a matter for two families. If both parents make a fuss like enemies, how can they be happy after marriage?

Tong Yun, who was completely relieved, even sent an invitation to Zhu Lin through a college friend to attend his wedding.

On the wedding day, Tong Yun put on a wedding dress and became a happy bride.
