MTL - I’m the Hero, His Brother, Wear It Quickly-Chapter 353 Stepbrother【08】

After being full of food and wine, Father Zhu finally couldn't help showing off with Yuan Jia: "Yuan Jia, Zhu Lin is also your younger brother. You two slept in the same room and grew up together. Although they are not brothers, they are better than brothers. Zhu Lin is married, and the wife wants a new house. You also know that the house price is soaring now. Uncle is useless. So far, I haven't saved enough money for the down payment. Look... can you give me some support?"

Father Zhu was a little embarrassed. It was the first time he opened his mouth to ask the younger generation to borrow money. Although he was shrewd in calculating, he was only shrewd in not letting others take advantage of himself, and he had never taken advantage of others. He still wanted face.

But when the interests are huge enough, the face is not so important.

"Don't worry, Yuanjia, the money will be paid back in the future!" Father Zhu said with confidence.

Zhu Lin, who was sitting next to him, was stunned. He glanced at Yuan Jia and said angrily: "Dad! What are you doing with Yuan Jia's loan? Didn't you agree to sell the old house as a down payment? No need. Borrow money!"

At the dinner table just now, Father Zhu kept complimenting Yuanjia that he was capable and promising, and that he was able to start his own business from scratch, much better than Zhu Lin.

Although what he said was true, he also meant to flatter Yuan Jia and pave the way for borrowing money later.

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

Zhu Lin was speechless and sad after being questioned by Tong Yun before, but now his father compares Yuan Jia, who has a successful career, with him.

This made Zhu Lin doubt himself, is he really that bad? If he has the ability of Yuan Jia, wouldn't there be no such obstacles between him and Tong Yun? Will it be a smooth and happy marriage?

Zhu Lin, whose self-esteem was stung, was inevitably angry.

But Father Zhu couldn't understand Zhu Lin's current mood. He was angry at Zhu Lin's dismantling, and reprimanded: "Shut up! What do you mean there is no need to borrow money? If you have so much money, you should be a laborer and want to borrow it back. Debt? Don't look at what you've become for a woman now, you don't have a job, you don't have a lot of savings, and you have to pay for your father and my coffin to buy a wedding house!"

Zhu Lin, who was reprimanded, turned red and was speechless.

He really can't do anything. Even to buy a marriage room for his beloved woman, he can only rely on his old father to look down and find someone to borrow money to pay for the down payment. Even the loans for the next few decades may not be able to resist him.

Zhu Lin, who finally realized the cruelty of reality, smiled bitterly with a pale face: "Dad, forget it, I'm not getting married, and I don't need to buy a wedding room."

If he can't buy a wedding house by himself, don't be unfilial and let his father sell the house to complete him.

As for borrowing money from Yuan Jia, his step-brother, Zhu Lin didn't have such a big face to borrow money. The relationship between the two sides was not very good. The two sides cut off contact for the past eight years. He didn't want to borrow it either.

No matter how rich Yuan Jia is, no one's money comes from the wind, nor is he borrowed a small amount. Zhu Lin didn't have the confidence to repay the money, so he simply stopped borrowing it from the beginning.

Zhu Lin didn't wait for Father Zhu to say anything, he stood up and bowed to Yuan Jia, and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Yuan Jia." He straightened up and looked at Father Zhu, "I won't borrow this money for anything. , because I can't afford it."

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

He still remembered that when Zhuo Yuanjia brought Zhuo Yuanjia to his house for the first time, Zhuo Yuanjia was arranged to sleep in the hanging cabinet. At night Zhuo Yuanjia turned over, and he lost his temper and disliked Zhuo Yuanjia's turning over and disturbed him to sleep. .

It seems that since then, Zhuo Yuanjia has never turned over again in bed.

＜＜＜＜＜＜

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

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

Yuan Jia looked at Zhu's father who was stunned, and said with a smile, "Uncle Zhu, since Zhu Lin said so, I will leave first."

He put down the chopsticks in his hand, picked up the dumpling that was eating the ribs and left.

Father Zhu stood up and said, "Hey, Yuan Jia won't stay for a while? How many days will he stay at home?"

Even if you don't borrow money, it's definitely a good thing to get close to such a big business owner. Of course, Father Zhu would try his best to keep him.

Yuan Jia said bluntly: "I'm just afraid that I won't be able to sleep in that hanging cabinet, so I won't be able to."

Father Zhu sent Yuan Jia out with an embarrassed expression.

When he turned around, he saw Zhuo's mother eating the leftovers with tableware and chopsticks, he said angrily: "What else to eat, why didn't you come out and talk to Yuan Jiaduo just now, pull To get closer to the relationship? After all, it is also a mother and son, can he really ignore you or not? "

Mother Zhuo put the bowl heavily on the table and snorted coldly: "I've been busy for a long time, but you sat down to eat ready-made food to fill my stomach. I'm too hungry, and I'm not allowed to eat some leftovers. You also said that Yuan Jia and I are mother and son, and you want to take care of the conflict between our mother and son?!"

Although Yuan Jia is ignoring her now, but since Mother Zhuo knew Yuan Jia's current worth, she straightened up in Zhu's house without knowing it, and dared to face Zhu's father.

Zhu's father was of course angry at Zhuo's mother's sudden talk back, but he couldn't do anything to Zhuo's mother when he was angry.

divorce? He is in his fifties, can he find a better wife than Zhuo's mother after a divorce? He and Zhuo's mother have been married for nearly 20 years, and they have long been used to it. Now he is inseparable from Zhuo's mother, not Zhuo's mother.

Cut off from home? Zhuo's mother also has a job herself. She doesn't earn much but enough for her own expenses. If he cuts off the family, Zhuo's mother can ignore their father and son and won't be able to eat a hot meal at home.

He couldn't win Zhuo's mother even if he quarreled, and Zhu's father could only be sulking with himself.

After Zhuo's mother and Zhu's father finished arguing, she lowered her head to eat, and while she was eating, she looked at the tableware and chopsticks used by Yuan Jia and shed tears.

She had heard what Yuan Jia said before. After all, the house was so large and the dining table was close to the kitchen. Yuan Jia did not deliberately lower her voice. Mother Zhuo could hear it clearly in the kitchen.

When she heard her son say that he hadn't eaten such a good meal in eighteen years, she couldn't help crying.

She wouldn't think it was Yuan Jia's slip of the tongue like her father did, because she knew that since she brought her son to the Zhu family, she had become his son's stepmother, and whatever delicious food she made belonged to Zhu Lin. Step-son's, her son will be taught a lesson by her even if he stretches his chopsticks.

Then her son would never reach for the good dishes on the dinner table again.

When she did that before, she didn't think there was anything wrong, and she was complacent that she was better to her stepson than her parents, and that she was a good stepmother.

But now nearly 20 years have passed, what was the point of her original behavior other than pushing her own son far away? The stepson still treats her as a malicious stepmother.

Thinking about how Yuanjia felt when she only gave her father a gift but completely ignored her, she could feel the pain when her son was neglected and neglected by her.

She doesn't have the face to meet her son, so that's it.

The son doesn't need her self-righteous make up, maybe she will never trouble him, that's the best make up.

＜＜＜＜＜＜

After Yuan Jia left the Zhu family, she went to check where the heroine Tong Yun was working according to the description of the heroine eight years later in the original plot.

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

Because he is a little curious about the plot after the reunion of the hero and heroine.

As a result, I didn't expect that the male protagonist Zhu Lin, who should have found the female protagonist Tong Yun's company, never appeared.

Seeing that the female protagonist Tong Yun is fighting with her boss and director, the relationship between male and female friends is confirmed, and the male supporting role is about to be in the position. The male protagonist, Zhu Lin, has not yet appeared.

Yuan Jia checked Zhu Lin's situation again, and it turned out that Zhu Lin honestly found a 9-5 job near his home. He clocked in to work every day. He was diligent and diligent. Qualified social animals.

Is the male lead giving up on finding his true love female lead?

Yuan Jia conducted an in-depth investigation and found out that Zhu Lin had met Tong Yun once a long time ago. The specific situation was not found out, but it was not very good, otherwise Zhu Lin would not have been beaten to give up to recover Tong Yun. .

Another year has passed.

Zhu Lin, a qualified social animal, has become accustomed to the good life of working overtime. He works hard to save money and wants to buy a house by his own ability, so he works very hard.

As the male protagonist, Zhu Lin is naturally not too bad, but he is not particularly good, and his career has not improved much in a year.

Even if you save all the money you earn every month, you won't be able to buy a house for decades.

Originally, Zhu Lin saw his pitiful savings taking a hit. At this time, he also received a wedding invitation from Tong Yun.

It was an invitation that Tong Yun sent him through a mutual friend at the university: "I'm getting married, are you willing to come to my wedding?"

Zhu Lin looked at the invitation with a dull expression. After being stunned for some time, he recovered and smashed his phone.

Zhu Lin covered his face and cried silently.

Even if he has long decided to give up, because he can't give her a happy life, he is a useless person.

But he really loves her!

In the end, it is still lost forever.

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

He returned to his usual sluggishness, and his energy at work was gone.

Seeing him in this state, Father Zhu couldn't wake up even if he scolded him, he couldn't even listen to him, he could only let it go with a sigh.

Compared with Zhu Lin's bad state, Tong Yun lived a very happy life.

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

But the director didn't mind her past, but pity her even more, he said to her: "The past is completely gone, you don't stay in the shadow of the past, come out, I will lead you to walk with you in the future. "

The director is young and promising, and he has reached his current status by his own ability. He also took out the savings to buy the wedding room in full early. His parents are very open-minded people, and they don't plan to live with their young couple after marriage.

Tong Yun's parents agreed to the marriage with satisfaction after they figured out the director's family situation.

Tong Yun asked her mother curiously, "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 he doesn't need you to repay the loan with you after you get married. There is no need for us to take advantage of this. You will have a good life in the future, and mom can rest assured."

The two have discussions about marriage, and they are very harmonious.

Tong Yun looked at the harmonious appearance of her parents and her boyfriend's parents discussing their marriage, and recalled the tense atmosphere between her parents and Zhu Lin's father, she couldn't help but be more sure that her choice was correct.

Marriage is a matter of two families. If the parents of both parties are like enemies, how can they be happy after marriage?

Tong Yun, who was completely relieved, also sent an invitation to Zhu Lin through a college friend of hers, asking him to come to her wedding.

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

As for whether her ex-boyfriend Zhu Lin came to the wedding, she didn't notice it. She found out that Zhu Lin did not have Zhu Lin's name when she counted the money list later.
