The call was from the **** predecessor.

"Hey, mom, what's the matter?"

"It's not a big deal. Isn't this the chestnuts at home cooked? I sent you some of them. Remember to collect them. There are also some things you love, such as fermented bean curd, kohlrabi, dried sweet potatoes, and sausages..." There was a lot of talk over there, and then he hesitated and said, "Fourth!"

"Well, mom, I'm listening, just tell me what you have to do." Meng Zezhi said in a nice voice.

Mother Meng paused, sighed secretly, and said, "Isn't this that your eldest sister’s children are all reaching the age of marriage? There are some who can’t live in the family anymore. Your eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law want to buy another set. House, look?"

This is the rhythm of asking Meng Zezhi to pay!

Over the years, including the filial piety to Meng’s mother during the holidays, the total amount of money and change that the predecessor took to his hometown was no less than two million. Xu Jiaqing and her predecessor almost got into a divorce because of the affairs of her predecessor's third brother's house. After the fight, her predecessor was less concerned about the affairs of the three brothers and sisters' house.

In this way, Meng Zezhi has a lot of room to play freely.

He said: "I remember that the house of the eldest sister's house was just built a few years ago?"

In order to build the house, Meng's mother subsidized 10,000 yuan, and the predecessor took 80,000 yuan. Although not much, it was all the savings of the predecessor at that time. On the contrary, his eldest sister's family basically didn't take much money out of the house except for a sum of money spent on the roof of the house.

At that time, this 90,000 yuan was enough to build a two-story, seven-bedroom, one-bedroom small western-style building in the countryside.

If this was the case before, after listening to her say this, the fourth child must have patted his chest and agreed.

At this moment, Mengmu clearly heard the rejection from her son.

She changed her mouth instantly: "Yes, when your eldest sister's house was built, the foundation was actually quite deep, now it is not enough to live, and you can add a layer on it..."

In fact, it’s not that Meng’s mother is incomprehensible. The palms and backs of her hands are all fleshy, but in order to send the youngest son out of the mountain, the eldest son and two daughters made huge sacrifices.

Now that the youngest son is promising, it is naturally time for him to repay his brother and sister.

In her opinion, although the eldest son is a patriarch, fortunately, the woman has a good family background and has never been short of his food and clothing. Now he has a child with his own surname, his waist is upright, and his personality is also much more cheerful.

As for the youngest daughter, although she is married to a lame, she wins because she is an honest person with no father or mother, and can be the master of the house as soon as she enters the door. Although the life was very difficult at the beginning, her second son-in-law got into a car accident and the youngest son paid for his lame leg. Now he drives a motorcycle soliciting customers in the county, usually a little harder, more than enough to feed his family.

Only the eldest daughter, married a widower, raised a bunch of stepsons and stepdaughters, married for 24 years, not even a child of her own. The eldest son-in-law has nothing to do, so he can only live by farming in the village. In addition, she is also getting older now, and she is a little unable to do her work. She will get sick every few times, and the burden of the family does not fall on her eldest daughter.

Her eldest daughter is only forty-three years old this year, but she looks like a husband and wife with her eldest son-in-law of fifty-six-seven. She looks distressed.

Mother Meng is distressed by her elder daughter, she can say ten thousand things, the youngest son is what she likes the most in her heart, not only because the youngest son has a good life, but the most important thing is that the whole family now has the favor of the youngest son.

Therefore, as soon as Meng Zezhi showed signs of rejection, Meng's mother immediately stopped thinking.

But some people don't think so.

"Can it be the same? The key is which girl is still willing to marry in the countryside..."

An urgent voice faintly came from over the phone.

"What are you talking about!" Mother Meng snorted, and then the phone was robbed.

"Fourth old man, I’m your eldest brother-in-law. Your two nephews are both twenty-seven and eighteen this year, but your daughter-in-law hasn’t settled yet. At this moment, Jiaming finally talked about a girl, and the wife’s family didn’t want to give a gift, just For a house, you said where to find such a good thing."

The tone on the other side of the phone instantly softened: "But you also know the fourth child of my family. Now the family is supported by your sister alone. Even if we emptied our savings, we couldn't get so much money. Yes. Otherwise, I won't speak to you."

His eldest brother-in-law was He Zhenli.

Meng Zezhi heard this and only said, "How much do you want?"

He Zhenli's tone immediately became excited: "It's not a lot, six hundred thousand is enough."

The small county town where the former home belongs to is backed by mountains, with inconvenient transportation and not a developed economy, so housing prices are naturally not much higher. Generally, the price of a rough house is only in the early 2000s, and the price is lower in remote places.

Six hundred thousand yuan, it must be enough to buy two houses with three bedrooms and one living room. Add a few more money and make a simple decoration.

He Zhenli counted his youngest son's wedding room.

Sure enough, he listened to him with a smile and said: "When your first nephew gets married, isn't it your second nephew's turn? I want to prepare the house in advance so as not to be like this, like a headless fly. Random rotation is not."

He Zhenli doesn't think he is a lion's mouth wide open, he is careful.

The fourth son bought his third brother for 600,000 yuan, and he spent nearly 400,000 yuan for his second brother-in-law to treat his legs. It didn't make sense to go to his house, and 80,000 yuan was passed away.

The eldest sister is big, he wants a six hundred thousand yuan now.

Meng Zezhi laughed angrily.

Which one of the predecessors did not try their best to help the family, can this be simply measured by the amount of money?

Meng Zezhi only knows one thing, I can be grateful, but you can't be a blood sucker for granted.

Meng Zezhi calmly said, "Is my eldest sister here, let me say a few words to her."

Although He Zhenli didn't know exactly what Meng Zezhi was selling, he was the boss if he had money. For the sake of the six hundred thousand, he could only pass the phone to Sister Meng who was aside.

"Hey, fourth child..."

There was a hoarse middle-aged female voice over the phone.

Meng Zezhi paused: "Sister, are you feeling well?"

"Cough cough..." Sister Meng cleared her throat and said, "It's okay, but when I was picking up Xiaoning from school two days ago, it suddenly got big half way, got a little rain, and caught a cold."

He Zhenli's ex-wife left him two sons and one daughter. Compared to his two sons who have not been married yet, his youngest daughter married early, and Xiaoning is her son.

Because his daughter and ex-wife look alike, He Zhenli usually loves this daughter most. After Xiaoning was born, his grandparents were unwilling to take it there, and his daughter and son-in-law were busy working again, so He Zhenli had to take him back home and let Sister Meng take care of him.

This care has lasted for eight years, and now the children are in elementary school.

Meng Zezhi sank: "Sister, what do you think?"

Hearing this, He Zhenli quickly winked at her.

"I..." Sister Meng opened her mouth, as if she had thought of something, her expression was a little sad, and she said, "What else can I think."

Meng Zezhi understood. He said, "I see. Give your phone to mom."

"Hello, fourth child?"

"Mom, are they there?" Meng Zezhi asked.

"No, what's the matter?"

"You call them back first, I have something to tell them."

"...Okay." Mother Meng nodded hesitatingly, always feeling that her youngest son's tone seemed a little wrong. But she also knows that this error is not directed at her.

She glanced at He Zhenli, and then, as Meng Zezhi ordered, she found the youngest third's name in the phone address book and called.

"Mom, what's the matter?" He Zhenli didn't understand, so he suddenly felt a sense of anxiety.

Mother Meng ignored him, but urged the third child to come over quickly.

Hanging up, Meng Zezhi turned and walked towards the laboratory.

Hearing the sound, Zhu Zhengqing put down the instrument manual that he had taken down in his hand, looked up at Meng Zezhi, and said calmly, "Is the call finished?"

"Ok."

At this moment, Meng Ze knew that all his thoughts were about family matters, and he never remembered what happened just now.

He said: "By the way, Professor Zhu, something happened to my house, so I will go back first."

The school is crowded with people and is not a good place to deal with problems.

"..." Looking at Meng Zezhi's face indifferently, as if nothing happened just now, Zhu Zhengqing nodded hard: "Okay."

"Then I will come back to you in two days."

After speaking, Meng Zezhi turned and left the laboratory.

Listening to the fading footsteps in his ear, Zhu Zhengqing eased his mind.

Is Meng Zezhi boring to him or the other party just didn't get the hang of it at all.

The corners of Zhu Zhengqing's lips were pursed and pursed, decisively choosing the latter.

Such a big old elm bump, is it still not on?

Zhu Zhengqing frowned slightly, sad!

Just when Meng Zezhi got home, Meng's mother called over there.

Meng Zezhi closed the door with his backhand, and while taking off his coat, he asked, "Mom, are the third brothers here?"

"It's all here." Mother Meng said worriedly.

"Well, you can turn on the hands-free." Meng Zezhi threw his clothes on the sofa and poured himself a glass of water.

"Fourth old man, what's the matter with you calling us over." It was Brother Meng who was speaking.

Meng Zezhi drank two sips of water and said, "That's it. Just now, my eldest brother-in-law called me and said that his two sons were married and asked me to spend 600,000 yuan to buy a house for them."

The fourth child has something to say!

The second sister Meng and the third brother Meng looked at each other, both with solemn faces.

He Zhenli looked embarrassed, and his heart became more and more uneasy. He flinched: "This...the fourth child, if you have a tight hand, then forget it..."

"Isn't it six hundred thousand? Money, what I have is." Meng Zezhi slapped the coffee table: "But I just want to say, your two sons are married, what does it have to do with me?"

"This...this," He Zhenli was taken aback, and stammered: "How can they be your nephew or not, even if they are not relatives, but they call your uncle for more than 20 years..."

"I would rather not have these two nephews—" Meng Zezhi said angrily, completely substituting himself into the identity of the predecessor.

"In my whole life, the one I'm most sorry for is my elder sister. Just to support my schooling, she was forced to marry a widower who was a round older than her, and became a stepmother of three children as soon as she walked in. At that time, she was forced to marry a widower who was one round older than her. She is only eighteen years old."

Hearing this, Sister Meng looked in a daze.

Mother Meng's eyes blushed directly, and she blamed her for being incapable, so she could only send her youngest son to school by selling her children.

"It's fine if she has a good life, but in fact, she has been married for twenty-four years, and as a woman, she doesn't even have the qualifications to get pregnant and have children. Why?"

"Because her widower husband already has three children who can pass on from generation to generation, and the family conditions are already bad, naturally there is no need to have another child to increase the burden. Anyway, he remarried to find a cheap nanny to serve his family. "

"Fourth, what are you talking nonsense?" He Zhenli was frustrated, but no one paid any attention to him at all.

Hearing this, the second sister Meng and the third brother Meng also knew that Meng Zezhi's anger was not because they stared at his money, but rather annoyed He Zhenli.

They breathed a sigh of relief in unison.

"Just for the 1,500 yuan gift. For 24 years, she has served four of you, father and son, and it is not enough. She has to take care of your grandchildren. There is no such good thing in the world. The most ridiculous thing is, He Zhenli, you still have the face to let me buy a house for those two little beasts!"

Before his predecessor was admitted to university, the three children of He Zhenli's family had never called his predecessor to uncle. When my predecessor went to his house to pay a New Year's greetings, I saw them embarrassing Sister Meng in front of their relatives more than once.

They were so unscrupulous when their predecessor family was there, and one can imagine what life Sister Meng lived when her predecessor family was away.

When the predecessor was born, they would say how sweet and sweet the uncle was.

"You...you..." He Zhenli became angry from embarrassment and reached out to grab the mobile phone in Meng's hand.

"What do you want to do?" The third brother Meng and the second brother-in-law of Meng stood up from the sofa suddenly, protected Meng's mother behind them, and glared at He Zhenli.

Meng Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

Now she finally knows why the fourth child must have her call the third child back first.

On the phone, Meng Zezhi drank his saliva and calmed down his breath: "In the past, I wanted to make trouble. I always feel that my eldest sister is already very old, and there is no one of her own children underneath. I will definitely have to rely on that in the future. The two little beasts are old-aged, so let's live the life like this."

This is not only the idea of ​​the predecessor, but also the idea of ​​Mengmu.

"I guess you think so too." This was obviously addressed to He Zhenli.

"That's why you dare to ask me for money like this unscrupulously, which is 600,000 yuan at the first opening."

About Mo was pricked by Meng Zezhi, and He Zhenli's face was green and white, so lively.

Sister Meng burst into tears, holding her second sister Meng and wept bitterly.

Hearing this, He Zhenli's eldest son, He Jiaming, frustrated, and said angrily: "Why don't you dare, if it wasn't for my family's 1,500 yuan, you thought you Meng Zezhi could have today? That's my mother's life money."

He Zhenli's first wife died in a car accident, and the owner of the car lost two thousand yuan.

"So my eldest sister has been working hard for your family for more than 20 years, so I paid 80,000 yuan for your family to build a house. Is this not enough?"

Meng Zezhi said coldly: "My family has long since owed you."

He said again: "Just such a thing, eldest sister, do you still expect him to provide you with a pension in the future?"

"What do you want?" He Zhenli gritted his teeth. He didn't believe it. Could it be that Meng Ze knows he can still keep Sister Meng from divorcing him.

Meng Zezhi did as he wished: "600,000, I have. Sister, I will give you two choices."

Sister Meng sobbed, she sat up from her arms, raised her sleeve and wiped the corner of her eyes.

At no time did she feel that her little brother was so reliable.

"First, if you stay at He's house, I will buy you two houses with 600,000 yuan. In the future, if the He family dares to show you a little bit of expression, you will drive them out."

Hearing this, He Zhenli blushed and looked bitterly at the mobile phone in Mengmu's hand.

"Second, if you divorce He Zhenli, I will still give you 600,000 yuan. You can move back to live with your mother, or buy a house to live alone. You are only forty-three years old this year, and you still have children at this age. There are a lot of people. It’s really not possible. You can still raise a child, and when the child grows up, you are only in your sixties, just in time for that child to provide you with an old-age care."

"You... how dare you?" He Zhenli was struck by lightning, never expected Meng Zezhi to actually make such an idea.

No, no, if Sister Meng really divorces him, Xiaoning will take him, he can't do heavy work at all now, and who will take care of the seven or eight acres of land in the family, and the wedding room of his two sons...

He Zhenli looked horrified, he instantly calmed down and looked at Third Brother Meng as if asking for help.

The third brother Meng looked indifferent, distressing the eldest sister is one aspect, it does not matter to hang up high is another aspect.

Isn't this obvious? The fourth child has wicked He Zhenli's family. If he rushes to speak for He Zhenli, he must offend the fourth child.

He has nothing to do, but in the future, he will count on the fourth child to help his two sons. You said that at this time, did he dare to go against Meng Zezhi?

This is honest.

There is no way to ask for help, He Zhenli gritted his teeth, turned to look at Sister Meng, and said in a low voice: "Jingshu, Jingshu, I admit that I used to be sorry for you. For the sake of a husband and wife of more than ten years, Jingshu, give me a chance..."

Seeing this scene, Sister Meng looked confused, with freedom on one side and the person who has been married to her for more than 20 years...

"No hurry," Meng Zezhi said, "Sister, you can think about it and tell me when you think about it."

He loosened his tie: "It's too noisy, third brother, kick those two guys out."

After a while, He Zhenli's voice on the other side of the phone became more and more urgent: "No, Jingshu, Mom, I know it was wrong... Fourth, fourth..."

The ears are finally clean.

Meng Zezhi said again: "Okay, eldest sister, you will live with mom first, third brother, please take care of your mom and eldest sister during this time, lest He Zhenli jumps over the wall and causes something bad... "

After arranging the things at home, Meng Zezhi was relaxed, followed by a tiredness hitting his heart. While rubbing his temples, he wondered if he had forgotten something very important.

But the more I tried to remember, the more chaos in my mind.

He simply didn't want to think about it anymore, covering his mouth and yawning, got up and went into the bathroom, got out of the shower, got into the bed, and fell asleep directly.

Early the next morning, he drove to the bank. When he got out, Kari had an extra seven million. Then he called several large-scale laboratory equipment manufacturers, combined their quotations, and determined a batch of laboratory equipment to be used. In less than half an hour, two-thirds of the seven million he had just acquired had gone.

After dealing with the experimental equipment, Meng Zezhi pulled out a collection of papers on the demonstration of Goldbach’s conjecture at home and abroad in the past three years, which was compiled by the predecessor and was more than ten centimeters thick.

It took him two full days to read all these papers, and he gained something. At least he had a general idea for proving Goldbach’s conjecture.

His eyes fell on the title of one of the papers: "Variational Method."

Let's start here.

Just when Meng Zezhi took out the draft paper to start writing, his cell phone rang.

It was Xu Jiaqing who called.

"Meng Zezhi, have you forgotten what day it is?"

Meng Zezhi thought for a while. It seemed that it was Saturday. When I looked at the time on the computer, it was almost ten o'clock. He immediately got up from his seat and said, "Sorry, I will be there soon."

After speaking, the phone has been hung up over there.

Pack the desk and lock the door. Meng Zezhi returned home first, took all his documents and everything, and then went to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

For the first time, Chen Yinglong did not follow Xu Jiaqing this time.

"Let's go." Seeing Meng Zezhi coming, Xu Jiaqing spit out two words coldly, got up and walked towards the counter.

Verify the divorce intention, sign the review processing form, cancel the marriage certificate, and issue the divorce certificate.

After going through these processes, it only took less than ten minutes to get together.

The two never said a word from beginning to end, until they walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau building, Meng Zezhi said to stop Xu Jiaqing: "By the way, I still have a lot of your stuff, do you think? Come and clean up some time."

According to the divorce agreement, the property in each name belongs to each other.

"No, just throw those things away." Xu Jiaqing didn't look back.

It can be seen that I really lost my heart to the predecessor.

Since Xu Jiaqing has said so, then Meng Zezhi has nothing to worry about. It’s just that Xu Jiaqing has a lot of things. Just clothes and shoes occupy three closets. There are also some cosmetics and jewelry. Most of them are famous brands, which is a pity.

Meng Zezhi thought for a while, and simply packaged these things and sold them to a second-hand goods dealer, in exchange for a small 200,000 yuan, and then donated the money to the Red Cross in the name of Xu Jiaqing.

Meng Zezhi cleaned the room with his front feet, and the batch of experimental equipment he bought arrived on the back, along with the five-pace snake venom he had previously ordered at the Cao County Snake Farm.

After installing the experimental equipment, Meng Zezhi took the vial of snake venom and went to the laboratory.

Also busy is Zhu Zhengqing. On the one hand, he needs to integrate and screen out a group of professional researchers to form a research team as soon as possible. On the other hand, he also needs to prepare research projects. In addition, he has to give students professional courses every other day. , Is almost busy without touching the ground.

There are more people in the laboratory after going back and forth.

Meng Zezhi's experiment progressed very smoothly, but when Goldbach conjectured, he hit a barrier.

It really is a world-class math problem!

Meng Zezhi put down the pen, his thoughts were in confusion, he rubbed the corners of his eyes, and reached out to touch the cup on the table. When he picked it up, there was only a layer of tea dregs left in the cup.

Meng Zezhi shook his head helplessly, stood up and planned to get some hot water from the drinking fountain next door, and then groaned in his stomach.

He raised his watch to see that it was already twelve o'clock.

Let's eat first!

Thinking about this, he turned to look at Zhu Zhengqing. The other party was standing still in front of the automatic amino acid analyzer. It seemed that he couldn't get out of it in a short time.

In this case, he had to go alone.

Putting all the manuscripts on the table into the drawer and locked it, Meng Zezhi lifted his foot out of the laboratory.

Seeing this scene, Xu Yehua, who had been paying attention to Meng Zezhi's movement, hesitated for a while, and finally put down the information in his hand and walked towards Zhu Zhengqing. He asked, "Professor Zhu, I don't know how much you know about Meng Zezhi?"

"Ok?"

Hearing the three words Meng Zezhi, Zhu Zhengqing abruptly took his eyes away from the analyzer and turned to Xu Yehua.

Although he didn't understand why Xu Yehua would ask such a question, he still said with some restraint: "You said Professor Meng, who looks quite stable, kind, and has a good personality..."

Every time a word popped out of Zhu Zhengqing's mouth, the horror on Xu Yehua's face increased by one point, and even the others in the laboratory put aside their things one after another and surrounded them.

Xu Yehua said with difficulty: "Professor Zhu, you may not know the actual situation when you are here for the first time."

Zhu Zhengqing was also confused: "What do you mean?"

There is no need for Xu Yehua to speak at this moment, the people around have already talked about it in a hurry.

In the end, Xu Yehua concluded: "I also saw that Professor Zhu seemed to be walking very close to Meng Zezhi, so I said a few more words. How should I say, it is better for Professor Zhu to have less contact with Meng Zezhi in the future. Lest you get tired of your reputation."

When the crowd dispersed, Zhu Zhengqing's eyes were full of confusion.

Domestic violence caused his wife to have a miscarriage, behaved badly, and stole the research results of the students...

How could the person described in their mouths be Meng Zezhi?

Or did he see the wrong person?

Just as he frowned, Meng Zezhi came back.

"Why are you alone, where are they?"

Zhu Zhengqing raised his head abruptly, his eyes looked like a scanner, looking up and down Meng Zezhi.

The meticulous hair, the slanted british eyebrows, the thin and light lips, the angular outline, the one-meter-two long legs, and a black suit. When not speaking, there is a sense of abstinence all over the body. breath…

Thinking of the rather exuberant hair on this person's forearm, Zhu Zhengqing's ears are reddish!

The author has something to say: Zhu Zhengqing: I want to praise the old man!
