MTL - The Male Lead Doesn’t Cooperate-Chapter 22
Song Cun found that he was kneeling in the mourning hall dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, and beside him were three teenage children who were also dressed in the same clothes. Among the three children, two were girls and one boy. There was a lot of noise around, and people coming and going were all helping with the funeral. He lowered his head and calmly asked the system in his heart: "What's going on?"
[System: This is a new mission world, you are still the hero, whose father died in a car accident. 】
Song Cun: "Why didn't you let me come over earlier?"
【System: "It's not too late, it's just right for the development of the plot."】
Song Cun: "...hehe."
[The system blinks: I'll give you the plot, you can read it yourself. 】
Seeing that the system dropped that sentence, Song Cun lost his voice, obviously looking as if he had done something wrong and dodged with a guilty conscience. He knelt down expressionlessly, and kept flipping through the plot in his mind.
The hero and heroine are not only from the same village or classmates, but also have similar fates.
The heroine's mother is an educated youth, and the heroine's father is an educated youth. After the college entrance examination resumed, both the heroine's mother and the heroine's father were admitted to college. One left her husband and child and returned to the city, and the other left her wife and child and returned to the city. The hero's father died in a car accident when he was seventeen. That is now.
After the hero's father passed away, the hero led three younger siblings to live with his grandparents. The compensation was with his grandparents, who said he would help them with it. The grandparents are getting old, and one of the three sons died. The two sons are taking care of the elderly, and they attach great importance to the other two sons. They like to discuss everything with them and listen to them in everything.
The male lead's father's compensation came down, the eldest son's grandson was going to get married, and the bride price was not enough, so the grandparents persuaded the brothers and sisters to lend them some of the money. The youngest son's family needs to build a house, and the money is not enough. The grandparents persuaded the brothers and sisters to lend them part of the money. The two families continued to have troubles, and within a year, the money was exhausted. When their brothers and sisters needed money to go to school, but they couldn't get it out, they asked them to pay it back, but said that the money was given to them by their grandparents, not borrowed by them.
The grandparents still love the two grandchildren. As for the granddaughter, the granddaughter will belong to others in the future. There is no other way, so they let the two granddaughters drop out of school. Seeing the two younger sisters crying miserably and unwilling to drop out of school, the male protagonist dropped out of school to earn money to pay for their tuition. Later, his grandparents died, and no one recognized the money he borrowed. The male protagonist can only live with his three brothers and sisters, and one person earns money to support the three brothers and sisters, so that they can study and go to school.
After the three siblings grew up, their mother came back. Because her husband who remarried after graduating from college was infertile and never conceived a child in her life, although she adopted a daughter to keep her by her side, she had her own son, so she wanted to have a biological child by her side, preferably a son. The male lead didn't have that kind of thought, and he also advised his younger siblings not to have those thoughts. But no matter what, he never expected that his younger siblings, who worked hard to earn money to support them in education, would start to guard against him in order to stay with his mother, and in the end he gave him a slap in the face and stayed with his mother. Fortunately, the eldest sister, Song Xiaomeng, still knows how to be grateful, and didn't go with them, otherwise the hero will really collapse.
Seeing this, Song Cun just wanted to scold and **** it. As for the following plot, he read the outline and knew some major events, so he was not interested in watching it carefully.
Now is the funeral of the hero's father, he glanced sideways at the three younger siblings, they are still children, or children without parents, children have unlimited possibilities.
At the funeral, Song Cun didn’t do anything. The four brothers and sisters were like puppets, their eyes were swollen from crying. They were all children and didn’t understand anything. The person in charge of the funeral asked them to kneel, and they kowtowed. Anyway, do what you want, until the father is sent to the ground, buried, and the villagers who help with the work are sent away. The brothers and sisters take off their filial piety. In the room, several brothers and sisters sat around the round table, Song Cun looked at the original owner's three younger siblings seriously, and the three younger siblings looked at him blankly.
Song Cun looked at their dazed and immature looks, which could not be connected with the appearance of turning against the male protagonist later. He said: "My father is gone, and my mother doesn't know where she went. Only our four brothers and sisters are left in the family. There is no one in the village." You know the life of a child without a mother, so we four brothers and sisters have to depend on each other..."
Before Song Cun could finish his sentence, the younger brother Song Gaofei who was sitting next to him lowered his head and said dully, "There are grandparents, but there is no father. Let's live with grandparents, shall we? They won't ignore us."
Song Cun twitched his lips and looked at him seriously: "Grandpa and grandma are not only our four grandchildren, but also the seven grandchildren of the uncle and uncle's family. If they raise us, do you think they are not good with the uncle and uncle's temper?" Will they make trouble? Even if they don't make trouble, won't the aunt and aunt also make trouble? After all, our father is gone, and the matter of providing for our grandparents in the future will be counted on both of them...not to mention our father is The person who was hit by someone, the person who bumped into our dad needs to accompany the money. If we live with our grandparents, the money will definitely be collected by our grandparents. After all, we are children, and the money is given to them, and who is it spent on? , it’s not what we can say. But if we don’t follow anyone, we live on our own. Although it’s hard, with the money compensated to us, we can continue to go to school. If we follow our grandparents, it’s because they want When we go to school, our uncles and uncles will make us drop out of school."
Song Gaofei stared at him blankly, with tears in his eyes: "Then what should we do?"
He recalled several scenes in his memory where his aunt and aunt fought with his grandparents. He trembled, if his aunt and aunt treated him like that, would he still be able to live?
Song Cun said firmly: "When the time comes, the cadres from the village will come, and our four brothers and sisters must firmly express that we will do it alone, and no one will follow. The driver's compensation to us, we should not miss a penny."
[System: You read the plot, but the plot is not like this...]
Song Cun: "Do you still dare to come out?"
The system didn't dare to say anything at once. He was wronged. In the last world, he didn't get a single point and was fined. It's too difficult, but the host is too powerful, so it's not easy to mess with him.
Song Cun sneered in his heart, but he was quick to hide.
Eldest sister Song Xiaomeng said: "I will listen to elder brother."
What the eldest brother didn't say was that grandparents value boys over daughters and have always disliked their granddaughters. If they live with their grandparents, the eldest brother and younger brother don't have to worry too much. Whether she and Xiao Lu can eat enough is a problem, let alone go to school.
Seeing her elder sister talking, the younger sister, Song Xiaolu, also whispered, "I also listen to elder brother."
Song Cun looked at Song Gaofei, and Song Gaofei said hesitantly: "We have no parents, and we haven't lived with adults. The villagers should bully us."
His mother is gone, without his mother, he was often laughed at at school, and now that his father is gone, those people still laugh at him even more.
Song Cun asked back: "Can we come back by following our grandparents? Grandparents are not only our grandparents. If we really follow them, we will really lose our own little family. At that time, not only our classmates The children in the village and the village bully us, even the cousins of uncles and uncles can bully us.”
The relationship between the original owner's father and his two brothers was not very good because of the separation of the family, and the relationship between the affected children and cousins was not very good.
Song Gaofei hurriedly said: "Then let's live on our own." Obviously he also knew that his uncle and aunt didn't like him much.
After the brothers and sisters made an agreement, Song Cun opened the door, looked at the people and said, "When the time comes, we must follow what we discussed. We can't change our mind."
The four siblings nodded seriously.
The village cadres brought the driver who caused the accident over, followed by Song Cun's grandparents, uncle and uncle, and even the family of aunt and sister. Song Gaofei and the others saw the driver with hatred on their faces, he was the one who killed him. The death of their father made them completely children without father or mother.
A group of people were sitting in the main room, and the village chief said, "Your parents divorced a few years ago, and now your father is gone. Who are you going to live with in the future?"
When Song Xiaomeng heard that her father was gone, she couldn't help crying again. Song Xiaolu, who was next to her, saw her sister crying and couldn't help crying. Song Gaofei, who was crying with the big sisters, also had red eyes.
Grandma Yu Cuiping heard what the village chief said, and said hurriedly, "Of course they live with us."
Grandfather Song Yonghua also said: "Yes, live with us. They are all children, and there is no adult around them. Let's live with us."
At this moment, Song Cun stood up and said, "Grandpa, grandma, and grandpa of the village head, we live alone, and we don't follow anyone."
Song Xiaomeng didn't care to cry anymore, and said quickly: "Grandpa, the village chief, we live by ourselves. The four of us are old enough to cook and wash our own clothes. We can live without following our grandparents."
Song Xiaolu and Song Gaofei also agreed.
Song Yonghua and Yu Cuiping glared at them, the uncle Song Jiantong and his younger uncle Song Jianmin next to them looked at their parents anxiously, and even the elder sisters frowned.
Song Cun said loudly: "Grandpa and grandma are getting old, it's time to enjoy the blessings of our children and grandchildren, how can we let them work hard for our brothers and sisters? I am already seventeen years old, and I can do farm work. It is not a problem to take care of my brothers and sisters, let alone Just like what Xiaomeng said, usually when Dad goes to work in the field, it is Xiaomeng who does the laundry and cooks, so we can live on our own."
Uncle Song pulled Uncle Song's arm, and Uncle Song smiled and said, "Your grandparents are too old to tire them out. I am your uncle, so I should take care of you. You brothers and sisters can live with us."
When Uncle Song saw that his eldest brother spoke, he was afraid that he would take away the custody rights of several children, and he would not get a point of compensation, so he quickly said: "I am your uncle, and I should take care of you too. Your auntie is good at cooking." Eat, following us is better than following your uncle."
Aunt Song raised her neck, the food she cooked was comparable to few women in the village. Of course my sister-in-law can't compare.
The uncle ridiculed angrily: "It's enough to cook delicious food? Just the two of you who pick up samples and don't buy meat once a month. It's either pickles or pickles. No matter how delicious the cooking is, you won't see anything on the dinner table." Decent dish."
Aunt Song snorted, "When Song Cun and his brothers and sisters have passed by us, we will start buying meat."
The uncle's face was full of sarcasm: "Yes, you will buy meat to eat, and it's not sure who will get into the stomach then."
Seeing their sisters-in-law quarreling, Song Cun looked at Uncle Song and Uncle Song and said, "Uncle Song, you all have children to raise, and it costs a lot of money to raise children. We don't want to trouble you, we can support ourselves."
Seeing that Song Cun couldn't say anything, with a look of reluctance, Uncle Song and Uncle Song's face was a little ugly. Even Aunt Song and Aunt Song stopped arguing and looked at Song Cun with pouty faces. Song Yonghua and Yu Cuiping also had a bad face. Why doesn't this child know good and bad? It's not easy to support children, not only food and drink, but also schooling. His uncle and uncle have to support them, so they should be grateful for it. Do not listen?
Song Cuncai ignored them, looked at the village chief and said, "Grandpa village chief, let's live on our own."
At this time, the legal knowledge of the villagers was not perfect, and there were no well-educated people in the village. Even if there were two high school students, they didn't read legal knowledge, and even if they learned it, they didn't bother to meddle in their own business. No one raised the issue of guardians, but the village head He didn’t seem to have that awareness either. Seeing that Song Cun insisted that his brothers and sisters live on their own, he looked at Song Yonghua and Yu Cuiping, two old people: “Since they want to insist on living on their own, let them live on their own. The children have no parents and can live on their own. Get up, it's a good thing."
Song Yonghua frowned first, with an ugly expression on his face. He felt that his grandson was too lonely and didn't know what to do. He waved his hand and said angrily: "They can do whatever they want. We are old and can't control so much."
Yu Cuiping sighed and said: "If you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer a disadvantage. If you don't let us take care of you, we don't bother to worry about it."
With such a large amount of compensation, how many children can keep it without an adult around? Do you really think that if you have money, everything will be fine? There will always be times when they suffer and beg in front of them.
Uncle Song and Uncle Song were dumbfounded. Uncle Song hurriedly stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, parents, how can you let them live alone when the children are so young? Can the children live? Isn't this nonsense? "
Uncle Song said anxiously: "Yes, yes, how do the children live? This is not good."
Aunt Song also said: "That's right, it's not that there is no one in our family, let a few people live alone, we don't care if we don't ask, people should gossip."
The village head narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "It's okay, the children are willing. Don't stop me, the children don't want to trouble you. After all, they are not comfortable at home with anyone. They want to live alone. Let them live on their own."
Several other cadres in the village also followed suit.
"They want to live by themselves, let them live by themselves."
"The child wants to live alone, but life will be difficult in the future, and I can't blame you."
"It's the children who are willing to live alone, and the villagers can't gossip about it. Besides, letting them live alone doesn't mean that you are not allowed to take care of them. If they have any difficulties, you can help them as uncles and uncles. Who can say anything?"
Seeing that things were out of control, Uncle Song and Uncle Song's expression became more and more rigid. As for what the village cadres said, they listened, but didn't listen. Looking fiercely at Song Cun's brothers and sisters, he wished he could eat them. Song Xiaomeng, Song Gaofei, and Song Xiaolu were so frightened that they hid behind Song Cun.
Song Cunqing's cold eyes shot at the two of them. Uncle Song and Uncle Song were taken aback by his nephew's bottomless eyes. When they came back to their senses, they murmured to themselves, this kid is not very old, but he is very imposing. Those who don't know the details are really scared Living. But they are his uncles, how can they not know who he is? It looks like it.
Song Cun sneered, no matter how bad his younger brother and sister are, and no matter how bad they are in the future, it is also an internal problem. Internal problems are resolved internally, and he can discipline him however he likes afterwards, and he will not allow others to bully him.
Several cadres in the village are people on the scene. Uncle Song and Uncle Song can be seen at a glance. When Song Jianguo was alive, he had a good relationship with them. As village cadres, they can't help much. The child wants to live alone. If they want to keep their father's compensation in exchange for his death, they can still say it counts.
Witnessed by the village cadres, the driver who caused the accident handed over 30,000 yuan to Song Cun, and smiled wryly: "If I give you this money, I will be bankrupt."
Song Cun stopped the hand that received the money, and looked at him coldly: "I don't want the money, return our father to us. No matter how much money there is, we can't exchange our father's life."
Song Xiaomeng went up to grab the money and threw it into his arms, and said with red eyes: "When we are so rare about your money, how much money can my dad not earn? You killed my dad, so go to jail."
She doesn't know how to go to jail. But a man from the next village stabbed the villager twice, but the man survived and was arrested and imprisoned. This person killed their father, but he was fine, paid some money, and complained, why?
Song Xiaolu picked up the broom next to him and beat him, crying while beating: "Give me back my father, you give me back my father."
Song Gaofei stepped forward to hug his arm and bit it. The driver didn't pay attention, and screamed in pain from his bite.
Several village cadres couldn't help but get red-eyed. Can more money be exchanged for a father? Even if you go bankrupt, you can't exchange it. The children's mother is gone, and there is no father, that is, a family without a pillar, no one to rely on, and no one to act like a baby after suffering outside. When Dad is gone, the family is gone. When dad is here, home is here. The home is gone, what is the use of more money?
Grandfather Song Yonghua and nanny Yu Cuiping couldn't help crying. The son was gone, and the white-haired man was giving away the black-haired man. No one knew their pain. At that moment, Uncle Song, Uncle Song, and aunts and aunts were also embarrassed, and the person who disappeared was their brother and brother. When they were around, they were noisy and wanted to kill each other, but once they Gone, no amount of noise will dissipate with the wind.
Song Cun glanced at the people in the room. The brothers and sisters were beating, cursing, and biting. The driver was in a mess. Others were sympathetic, guilty, or embarrassed to their brothers and sisters. That's okay, afterward, some people will still be greedy for the money their children got, and want to get it. He stood there watching coldly, letting his siblings vent their anger. Without Dad, they need to vent their anger.
After the fight, the village head stepped forward to pick up the 30,000 yuan, solemnly handed it to Song Cun, and said solemnly: "Song Cun, you have to take this money. Your brothers and sisters are still young, and you will be given money in the future. There is a lot of money when you spend it, take it, don't let your dad worry about you in the ground, be obedient."
Song Cun pursed his lips, his eyes were red, caught it, and said with a choked voice: "Thank you, Grandpa Village Chief." After a pause, he continued: "Grandpa Village Chief, can this money be deposited in the bank? It's not safe to put it at home. If I’m under the age, so I can deposit the money in the village committee first.”
In fact, even if it is placed in the village committee, it is not the safest. Who can prevent people's hearts? Of course, it is best to store it in a bank.
The village head nodded: "Go to the bank and ask, if it's really not possible, the village will issue a certificate for you." The village head doesn't want to tout these things. Will be greedy for the compensation after Song Jianguo's death.
The corners of Aunt Song's and Aunt Song's mouths twitched slightly, to guard against whom.
If Song Cun could hear their voices, he would say that you are the ones on guard. Sometimes, what's scary is not the outsiders who don't care, but the relatives who take care of you in the name of blood relationship.
The brothers and sisters took their household registration books and followed the village cadres to the town bank. Uncle Song and Uncle Song followed unwillingly, and asked for an ID card when they arrived at the bank. Yuanshen hadn't applied for an ID card yet, so he went to the Public Security Bureau to apply for an ID card. It took a while to get the ID card, so he applied for a temporary ID card. With a temporary ID card, the bank opened an account, and all 30,000 yuan was deposited in it.
If the money is deposited in the bank, even if you come to withdraw it yourself, you have to ask for his ID card. It is useless for others to steal the savings account, not to mention the password.
Uncle Song and Uncle Song watched Song Cun deposit the money in the bank, and they could only look at the money and sigh.
After returning home in the evening, the brothers and sisters had a casual meal. After the meal, Song Cun said, "Father saved six thousand yuan. No one knew about this money. I took out two thousand yuan and deposited it in the bank, and the rest was kept in the bank." Our daily expenses. Add the 30,000 yuan, there are 32,000 yuan, don’t move it, save it for the future family, the four of us will share it equally, 8,000 yuan each.”
Song Gaofei lowered his head and did not speak.
Song Xiaomeng said, "Brother, isn't that money reserved for us to go to school? Save it all, what will we use for school?"
Song Cun said: "Our family still has more than ten acres of land, which are all planted. I will think about whether I can start some small businesses during the winter and summer vacations."
Song Xiaolu glanced at her brothers and sisters and said, "Then save it."
Song Cun looked at Song Gaofei: "What do you mean?"
Song Gaofei pursed his lips and did not speak.
Song Cun frowned: "You are also fourteen years old, not too young, so just say what you have to say."
Song Gaofei said: "Sister and younger sister share the same amount of money as us? When they marry in the future, don't they ask the man to give the gift money? Why do we need to pay for it? Isn't it a loss? Marrying a wife in the village Isn't that what married people do?"
Song Xiaomeng and Song Xiaolu lowered their heads and did not speak.
Song Cun glanced at him sideways: "You know a lot at such a young age!"
Song Gaofei smiled embarrassedly: "Me too, I just watched what the villagers did, and just heard a few words."
Song Cun snorted and scolded: "It's not the same for villagers to marry daughters-in-law and daughters-in-law."
Song Gaofei looked at him, what's the difference? Don't they all marry a daughter-in-law and a daughter-in-law? I haven't heard of any family that spends money on marrying a daughter-in-law. I have always heard how much money someone spent on marrying a daughter-in-law.
Song Cun said sadly: "People in the village raise their sons for the elderly. They are willing to spend money to marry their daughter-in-law. They want their daughter-in-law to take care of them when they are old. Our father is gone. From now on, no one will let us provide for the elderly, since we don’t need to provide for the elderly, aren’t girls and daughters the same?”
Whether it's a younger sister or a younger brother, if you want to live quickly, you have to hug each other to keep warm for the time being.
"Ah?" Song Gaofei looked at his elder brother, can he still say that?
Song Cun said that but didn't think so in his heart. The reason why he said that was just to persuade Song Gaofei.
In his opinion, sons and daughters are equally important, and they are treated the same. When you are really old, can your daughter provide for you? He knows that it is not so easy to break the rules that have been passed down for thousands of years.
