The Gu family lived in a house for four generations.
Feng Xiaoqin, a daughter-in-law from a foreign country, waited for an old snack to drink Lasa, although she married Gu Lei, a Shanghainese, but in the end she still sent people to the fence, to be decent, to be free without freedom.
Feng Xiaoqin dreamed of owning her own house, 60 square meters is enough; she came to Shanghai as a teenager to break through, in order to establish a foothold in the big city and change the fate of poverty.
Feng Xiaoqin's family is not well-off, there are still sisters and brothers below who need her help, she has long learned how to fight for her own interests, both can sprinkle and show weakness, the Gu family except Gu Qingyu, are not Feng Xiaoqin's opponents.
Husband Gu Lei has a weak personality and is simply not scheming; father-in-law Gu Shihong is honest and generous, and there is no city government; only gu Qingyu returns to his mother's home, he hints that his family should be wary of Feng Xiaoqin.
Feng Xiaoqin is therefore most jealous of Gu Qingyu, the big sister, but the face always has to be dressed up, not to mention that although Gu Qingyu is very shrewd and has many eyes, he is not stingy, and he does not help his mother's family in material terms, and Feng Xiaoqin's family of three has also received a lot of benefits from Gu Qingyu.
Gu Qingyu and Gu Lei are a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, Gu Lei is not as good as his sister everywhere from the mother's womb, not only is his body weak, he was born a day later than his sister, and his intelligence and appearance are all crushed by Gu Qingyu, and the two are not like twin siblings at all.
Gu Lei's qualifications are mediocre, he has no ability, and his mind is too simple, even looking for a job, Gu Qingyu has to give him the back door, Gu Qingyu knows that his brother is incompetent, so he takes extra care of Gu Lei.
Gu Qingyu is a strong woman in the workplace, casually talking about projects, just mentioning that the achievement can be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, the mother's family is naturally indispensable to oil and water; the career is smooth, but Gu Qingyu's love road is extremely bumpy.
Qingmei Zhuma's first love did not quit, Gu Qingyu was obsessed with him; Gu Qingyu tried to talk about several boyfriends, but these men either wanted to eat soft rice, or their hearts were undecided, and none of them could compete with Gu Qingyu.
Suitor Zhan Xiang is an upstart, although he has a deep affection for Gu Qingyu, but Gu Qingyu always feels that he lacks a little heartbeat, the two can be confidants and old friends, really want to change the relationship to become lovers, for Gu Qingyu the fire has not yet arrived.
Gu Qingyu was still single at the age of thirty-six, and the marriage event made Gu Shihong anxious, but Gu Qingyu went his own way and had his own opinions.
Feng Xiaoqin does not agree with Gu Qingyu's lifestyle, Gu Qingyu does not like Feng Xiaoqin, the two women are superficially harmonious and temperamental, but in fact, they have their own calculations in private.
Feng Xiaoqin wanted to buy a house, there was not enough money in her hand, and the first thing she thought of was her sister-in-law Gu Qingyu. Gu Qingyu is single and golden, in Feng Xiaoqin's view, it is useless for her to keep so much money, it is better to support her and Gu Lei to buy a house, Gu Lei is Gu Qingyu's brother, the little tiger is Gu Qingyu's nephew, Gu Qingyu even if she does not look at Feng Xiaoqin's face, she should also consider her brother and nephew.
Feng Xiaoqin took advantage of Gu Qingyu's birthday, secretly instigated Gu Lei to find Gu Qingyu to borrow money from a showdown, a loan is 1 million, Gu Lei can't wipe his face, he has no confidence in talking, Feng Xiaoqin is afraid that Gu Lei will drop the chain, and he also specially prepared a "speech draft" for him.
Feng Xiaoqin chose such a day, but also carefully calculated, Gu Qingyu's birthday, the next day is Gu Lei's birthday, Feng Xiaoqin thought that Gu Qingyu saw that his brother "let" his sister from the fetus, Gu Qingyu was not embarrassed to refuse.
Feng Xiaoqin also specially prepared a birthday gift for Gu Qingyu: a hand-knitted scarf, a soft texture of wool carefully selected, and a luxury sign bought in a hypermarket and sewn in a conspicuous position.
When Gu Qingyu looked at this unusual gift, he could only hold back a smile and say thank you to Feng Xiaoqin, and he had already spit on Feng Xiaoqin a hundred times in his heart.
On the other hand, Gu Qingyu's gifts to her family are all real expensive brand goods, and what she gave to Gu Lei is a real luxury scarf, and the comparison of the two scarves suddenly shows Feng Xiaoqin's shabby and stinginess.
Gu Qingyu did not think about these, she earned a lot of money, knew that her brother had no ability, her sister-in-law was a housewife, and the two sons did not have any money in their hands, Gu Qingyu did not want to fight with Feng Xiaoqin for anything.
Feng Xiaoqin married Gu Lei for these years, lived in the Gu family's house, and also took her sister Feng Xixi to live with her, Feng Xixi was unemployed at home, it was difficult to find a job, it seemed that she had to rely on the Gu family for a long time.
Gu Qingyu turned a blind eye to these, as long as Feng Xiaoqin can honor the elderly and take good children, Gu Qingyu naturally went by her, but she did not expect that Feng Xiaoqin's ambitions were not limited to this, she also wanted to move out to live, it was not enough to help a younger sister, and she also had to bring her brother to Shanghai.
Of course, Gu Qingyu did not want Feng Xiaoqin to buy a house, and when he bought a house, he wanted the Gu family to pay for it, but it was Feng Xiaoqin's sisters and brothers who got the benefit; Gu Lei was willing to be the wronged head, and Gu Qingyu was not so good at talking.
As soon as Gu Lei opened his mouth to borrow money, Gu Qingyu flatly refused, Gu Qingyu said that she also wanted to buy a house, and she was already optimistic, Feng Xiaoqin did not expect such a result, and could not speak for a while.
Feng Xiaoqin had to continue to give Gu Lei a look, let him try to persuade Gu Qingyu to take the money out, Gu Qingyu talked to Gu Lei privately, Gu Qingyu asked him if he meant it, or Feng Xiaoqin's meaning, Gu Lei would not lie, Gu Qingyu actually did not ask and knew that it was Feng Xiaoqin's idea.
Gu Qingyu iron heart did not lend Feng Xiaoqin 1 million, Feng Xiaoqin's self-esteem was frustrated, in front of Gu Lei's aunt and aunt, crying and making trouble, saying that he had been a nanny for the Gu family for so many years, that is, a nanny, it is normal to take hundreds of thousands of wages, she is not as good as a nanny.
Gu Shihong saw that his daughter-in-law had grievances, so he had to secretly take out the pension book and give Feng Xiaoqin 500,000 yuan, temporarily appeasing Feng Xiaoqin. Feng Xiaoqin had hope for buying a house and was in a good mood, but she overheard Gu Qingyu say to Gu Shihong that Fang ben could not write Feng Xiaoqin's name in case Feng Xiaoqin calculated the Gu family.
Feng Xiaoqin was not lightly angered, she had worked hard in the Gu family for all these years, and she had to wait for the old and the young in the morning; when she first got married, Feng Xiaoqin had to resign her post and become a housewife in order to take care of the family.
She thought that her daughter-in-law was more filial than Gu Qingyu's daughter-in-law, Gu Qingyu ate ready-made food as soon as she returned home, while Feng Xiaoqin had to be busy, Gu Qingyu did not fulfill her responsibilities, but pointed fingers at her, why should she be suppressed by Gu Qingyu in vain?
Feng Xiaoqin was very dissatisfied with Gu Qingyu, and the contradiction between the two continued to intensify, and the scarf did not play a good role.
Feng Xiaoqin saw Gu Qingyu's nanny around the scarf she had knitted by hand, and she was embarrassed and annoyed, she felt that Gu Qingyu was too unmatched, and the gifts sent by others with heart, even if Gu Qingyu did not like it, should be collected, rather than casually given to the nanny.
In fact, Feng Xiaoqin did not know, it was not that Gu Qingyu would not do things, Gu Qingyu would treat her like that, in fact, there was already a foreshadowing, and feng Xiaoqin's three behaviors hid the truth that she was despised by her in-laws.
1. High climbing
Gu Lei was not proud of his appearance, cowardly and incompetent, all relying on the care of his sister Gu Qingyu to barely have a job; Feng Xiaoqin forced Gu Lei to take the exam, improve his ability, and develop to a higher position.
But Feng Xiaoqin is obviously difficult for strong people, Gu Lei did not pass the exam, gu Lei wanted, just a simple and happy day, not to become a person.
Gu Lei has no ambition, Feng Xiaoqin forced Gu Lei to do what he did not like, it was pressure on Gu Lei, and it was also uncomfortable for Feng Xiaoqin, Gu Lei did not seek progress, could not satisfy Feng Xiaoqin's desires, and both of them lived very depressed.
Feng Xiaoqin obviously did not look up to Gu Lei, and she desperately wanted to marry Gu Lei, just because Gu Lei was a Shanghainese, and the family had a house, although the conditions were not much richer, but for Feng Xiaoqin, a daughter who had come from a foreign country, Gu Lei was no less than a life-saving straw in her life.
Feng Xiaoqin wants to stay in Shanghai, just by her own efforts, she can't buy a house in her life, marrying Gu Lei is a shortcut for Feng Xiaoqin. Since Feng Xiaoqin's eye is Gu Lei's hukou, he is doomed to let Feng Xiaoqin down in other aspects.
After getting married, Feng Xiaoqin forced Gu Lei to be aggressive and wanted to make Gu Lei look like she liked, which was almost against human nature. Gu Qingyu has a saying that is very correct: "Pressing too tight will backfire, just like a rubber band, if you pull too tightly, it will definitely break." Before you married Gu Lei, you knew he was like this. ”
Feng Xiaoqin did not agree with Gu Qingyu's statement, she felt that Gu Lei could swallow it before marriage, but when he had a wife and children, he should assume a sense of family responsibility instead of being content with pleasure.
In front of Gu Qingyu, Feng Xiaoqin never shyed away from criticizing Gu Lei, but in Gu Qingyu's view, Feng Xiaoqin married Gu Lei, and it was Feng Xiaoqin who climbed high. Feng Xiaoqin is two years older than Gu Lei, the family is poor, and Gu Lei's love is also Feng Xiaoqin's initiative, Feng Xiaoqin in order to marry Gu Lei, but there is no less effort, Feng Xiaoqin's intentions, is Ming Huang.
Feng Xiaoqin is interested in Gu Lei's conditions, not Gu Lei's people, which Gu Qingyu has already seen through; Feng Xiaoqin's tufang and hukou marry Gu Lei, don't complain that Gu Qingyu is guarding her, everyone has a small calculation in their hearts, Gu Lei is good at pinching, Gu Qingyu is not so good at bullying.
In the marriage that is not right, Gu Qingyu looks down on Feng Xiaoqin, who is chasing Gu Lei, which is why Gu Qingyu will give the scarf that Feng Xiaoqin sent to the nanny.
Feng Xiaoqin thought that Gu Qingyu pursued the brand, and casually sewed a mark on it, which was actually the symbol of inferior quality, which ruined the entire scarf. There is a gap between Feng Xiaoqin and Gu Qingyu's class, Feng Xiaoqin does not understand Gu Qingyu's true preferences, and Gu Qingyu cannot feel the hidden pain of Feng Xiaoqin's high climbing.
2. Pressing
Feng Xiaoqin let her sister Feng Xixi live in her in-laws' house, so that Feng Xixi did not have to be too anxious to find a job, anyway, there was a free place to live, there was no need to take out a large amount of money to rent a house, there was such a place to stay, that is Feng Xixi could not be sought.
Feng Xixi and the Gu family live together, in fact, it is very inconvenient, the brother-in-law and the sister-in-law share a bathroom, Feng Xixi and Gu Lei have caused a lot of embarrassment, but these can not stop the sisters' oppression of the Gu family.
Gu Qingyu's gifts to his family will never be less than Feng Xiaoqin's sisters, and Gu Qingyu's treatment of Feng Xiaoqin is really not thin.
Gu Qingyu has a lot of money, but that is gu Qingyu's own efforts to earn, Gu Qingyu has strong work ability, but he is not less pointed out, a woman wants to work hard to make a career, and the hard work can be imagined.
Gu Qingyu helping Feng Xiaoqin is a love point, not helping is also a duty, Feng Xiaoqin wants to move out of the big house, the first to rely on herself, not the eldest sister-in-law. Feng Xiaoqin has no job, Gu Lei's ability is average, if Gu Qingyu lends Feng Xiaoqin 1 million, Feng Xiaoqin does not even have the ability to repay, why should Gu Qingyu be sucked by Feng Xiaoqin?
Gu Qingyu told Gu Lei that if he wanted to buy a house, then she would help with anything that her sister said; but if it was Feng Xiaoqin's meaning, Gu Qingyu could only say sorry.
Gu Qingyu clearly divided the relatives from estrangement and closeness, and carefully tasted the plot of "Heart Residence", and knew that Gu Qingyu did not do anything wrong, that Feng Xiaoqin did not put himself in the right position, that Gu Qingyu did not owe her, and that there was no reason to take 1 million to fulfill her ambitions.
Feng Xiaoqin said that Gu Lei persuaded her to resign, and she had to become a full-time wife, but seeing Feng Xiaoqin and Gu Lei's position in the family, she knew that Gu Lei could not interfere with Feng Xiaoqin, and Feng Xiaoqin had complete freedom to seek employment.
Instead of spurring Gu Lei and hating Gu Lei for iron and steel, Feng Xiaoqin would rather go out and work her own and buy a house by her own strength, wouldn't it be more comfortable than looking at the face of the eldest sister-in-law?
Whether Gu Qingyu changes the house or not, whether he has money in his hand or not, it has nothing to do with Feng Xiaoqin; in the best relationship, he should talk about the sense of proportion, and Feng Xiaoqin has obviously crossed the line.
Although Gu Qingyu did not lend money to Feng Xiaoqin, Gu Qingyu proposed a solution, and Gu Qingyu said that if Feng Xiaoqin was worried about her son's schooling, she could attach her child's hukou to her.
Feng Xiaoqin is not satisfied, that is, she wants to move out to live, she is not capable, but she clamors to gain a foothold in Shanghai and own her own property, Feng Xiaoqin's "self-motivation" is really ridiculous.
3. Calculation
In fact, Feng Xiaoqin wants to borrow 1 million, which is not a difficult thing for Gu Qingyu, but the reason why Gu Qingyu is so "desperate" is inseparable from Feng Xiaoqin's way of borrowing money.
Feng Xiaoqin asked Gu Lei to memorize the manuscript to find Gu Qingyu for a showdown, Gu Qingyu knew at a glance that it was not his brother's original intention, Feng Xiaoqin was the "high person" behind it, which made Gu Qingyu feel very unhappy.
Gu Qingyu loves Gu Lei, obviously twins, but she has enjoyed the best resources from her mother's womb, Gu Lei is squeezed by her, all aspects are inferior to her, Gu Qingyu can only compensate Gu Lei as much as she can.
Feng Xiaoqin let Gu Lei open his mouth on Gu Qingyu's birthday, which was a calculation of Gu Qingyu, and what Gu Qingyu hated most was Feng Xiaoqin's little trick that could not be put on the table, revealing the twisting and contrivance of small doors and small households everywhere.
If Gu Lei has difficulties in life, Gu Qingyu will definitely help. Instead of taking great pains, Feng Xiaoqin should sit down and make it clear to Gu Qingyu that a sincere conversation is far better than a calculation of intrigue, so that the effect will be better than borrowing Gu Lei's mouth.
Feng Xiaoqin's careful machine made Gu Qingyu have to guard against it, Gu Qingyu hated her style, and Feng Xiaoqin had not yet found out where he was wrong. Getting along with people, many times really don't have to have so many twists and turns, honesty and sincerity, is the best way to close the relationship.
Write at the end
A house in a big city costs millions, or even tens of millions, and it is really not easy for ordinary people to have a place to live for themselves. However, compared with the physical habitat, the destination of the soul is more worthy of our thinking, where is the heart?
Feng Xiaoqin married someone she did not love for the sake of the house, and because she was dissatisfied with her in-laws' defenses against her, she was clamoring to run away from home, gu Lei had an accident on the way to chase Feng Xiaoqin, and passed away.
Is Feng Xiaoqin's toss really worth it?
Feng Xiaoqin roared and roared to cross the class, but also to rush forward with her younger brothers and sisters, many times, the more she demanded, the more she did not get.
There is a saying that is very good: "Whether it is talking, doing things or making decisions, be slow, don't let yourself be too anxious, only by slowing down, you can know what you want, and slow down you can do things as you want." ”
Feng Xiaoqin has been poor since she was a child, she has no sense of security, and needs real material satisfaction, but Feng Xiaoqin has ignored that what can really fill the void in her heart is not the house, not marriage, but the confidence of independence and self-confidence.
In this regard, Gu Qingyu was much more sober than she was.
