Just as I arrived at the ancestral hall, I looked up and saw a Mercedes-Benz 320 parked outside the manor. This shouldn't be my friend. I didn't see any of my regular friends driving such a high-class car. After burning incense to my ancestors in the ancestral hall, I strolled towards the house. Before I reached the door, I heard a loud woman say,"You're so lucky. Your son is so good at earning money and taking good care of himself. I'm so envious.”Who was this! Why can't I recognize the voice?
I pushed open the living room door and saw that it was my great-uncle, aunt, and uncle. Speaking of these relatives, my heart was filled with anger. My great-uncle is my grandmother's younger brother. He's over eighty years old this year. He retired from his position as the chairman of the peasant association more than twenty years ago. It's said that he's made a lot of money (of course, it's his main business plus his side business. Basically, the money he earns from his side business is more than ten times that of his main business). As for her aunt, she was a representative of public opinion. She was in her fifties this year and was the owner of several stores. She was also quite wealthy and was still single.
His father was a very respectful person. Almost every year, he would go to the home of the elders to pay a New Year visit. Among them, the youngest granduncle's family was rich, and his family was also famous in the local area. Every time he came to his house to pay a New Year visit, he would always put on a high and mighty appearance. He would even open the red packet that his father had given him on the spot and count the red packet money inside. When he thought that the red packet money was too little, he would even say a few words sourly, such as," The economy doesn't look very good this year!"”，Although we are younger, I don't think he should treat us with such an attitude, so I often feel sorry for Dad.
They haven't set foot in our house for ten years. Why would they have the time to come today? There might be something fishy going on.
Although I didn't like to deal with rich people like them, I had to give face to my father on the surface. I still said with a smile,"Granduncle, Aunt, Uncle, Happy New Year!”
"Ouch! It turned out that the Eldest Young Master had returned. After not seeing him for a few years, he had really become more handsome, confident, and mature. He heard that he had a successful career, earned a lot of money, built a big house, and earned a lot of face for the Lin family.”Aunt said exaggeratedly.
Of course, I had to humbly say,"I wouldn't dare! I don't dare! Thanks to my aunt's words and everyone's blessings, my luck was pretty good in the past two years. All kinds of investments have yielded some results, so I built a small manor here to let my parents recall their early life. Therefore, it's not to win glory for the Lin family, but to not fall under the protection of the ancestors.”
Her aunt continued," You're so polite, yet you still say that you haven't achieved anything. I heard that after the Lin family earned a lot of money, they moved out of their original small house and bought land to build houses here. Moreover, they built more than ten houses at once. Isn't that rich? We often have people talking about you in the parliament. I heard that you even bought a beautiful private jet. Is that true? One day, let auntie sit down and have fun!”
Who was the one who leaked the news? It seemed like it was Dad's five aunts. The so-called gossips were really…It seemed that Biao Aunt didn't come to the temple for no reason today. Could it be that she needed money? It shouldn't be! She had never heard of any financial crisis in their family.
"It's like this. I wonder if Eldest Young Master is interested in running for the position of a representative? With your current wealth and my popularity, you'll definitely win. Don't worry, you don't need too much money. Just 100 million is enough. I believe that with your current ability, it shouldn't be a problem!”her aunt probed.
I resolutely replied,"Aunt, thank you for your high opinion, but I'm not interested in that." There was still some money, but 100 million was not a small amount!”
"Since you're not interested, how about this?" Your uncle wants to run for this year's director general of the county farmers 'association. After he is elected, he will definitely not forget your help.”
I hesitated in my heart." A sponsorship of 100 million yuan is like a meat bun hitting a dog. It's gone and never returned. Even if they were elected, they might not remember us, let alone whether they would be elected. You're deliberately trying to earn money!"
I looked at my father's troubled face and knew that he was in a difficult position at the moment. Therefore, I thought that 10 million yuan should be enough for the new year! So I said,"Aunt, how about this? 100 million is a little too much for us. How about I sponsor 5 million on behalf of my father?”
The smile on her aunt's face immediately turned sour (this was her original appearance, she had to pretend for so long, it was hard on her)."Only five million! How was this enough? It's not even enough to pay for the piloting fee, it can't be! He was so rich, yet he took out so little!”
It seemed that there might be some financial problems in their family. Otherwise, they wouldn't have asked for 100 million immediately. As far as I knew, the political donation for the election of the general director of the farmers 'association was already a lot of money. They shouldn't have such an attitude after hearing that I donated 5 million. Unless there were other factors, such as the company's poor management was about to close down, and they used the election as an excuse. So I used my divine sense to investigate. It turned out that the three large stores run by my aunt were really on the verge of closing down."Moreover, her credit went bankrupt and the bank urgently recovered more than 80 million yuan. My uncle has already privately used his position as the secretary of the peasant association to misappropriate more than 50 million yuan of public funds. It seems that if he can't make up for it next month, it will be exposed. Therefore, on the New Year's Eve, he has lowered his voice and asked us for help. But really, if he wants to borrow money, then so be it. Why are you looking for so many reasons? If you get straight to the point, I might agree immediately. It's really embarrassing for her to spend so much effort and go around in circles." They wanted to borrow money, but they had to pretend to be good. They really had to hand it to them. They even wanted me to come out and choose the chairman. This reason was really lame.
I wanted to humiliate them, but after thinking about it, I gave up. After all, they were relatives and elders. I had to give my father some face. So I said,"Aunt, I'm not interested in choosing the chairman anyway. What do you need us to do?" Perhaps everyone can brainstorm and break through the current situation.”I said it so tactfully, Biao Aunt should understand.
"We really hope that you can take more money to help your uncle run for office. We don't have any other intentions."”July Duck was stubborn and refused to tell the truth.欸! Perhaps when Uncle was elected as the chairman, he would be able to pay off his debts with more money, but this would definitely get him deeper and deeper. He would definitely not be able to finish his prison meals! Although I don't like them, I don't want them to die.
I smiled and said," Aunt, Uncle, there are five people here now. They are all our own people. There's nothing that can't be said. Why don't we open our hearts and talk? Perhaps I can really help you!"”
My aunt leaned forward and looked at me with a little surprise. She asked me suspiciously,"You know about it?"
I nodded in understanding.
Her aunt and uncle sat back down on the sofa in frustration."Since you know, there's no point in saying more. How much can you help us?”
"How much?" I asked.
"One hundred and forty million," she whispered.”
That's the truth, especially since Granduncle is already so old and he's already coming out to "borrow money". Looking at his lifeless eyes, he might already have a little dementia. If it weren't for the future of his daughter and son, I don't think he would have come to us humbly. Alright! I'll be a good person to the end and send Buddha to the heavens. I said,"Aunt, no problem. I can take out these numbers. However, as a junior, I advise the two of you to stop at the right time. After all, fame and fortune are like floating clouds.”After saying that, I took out my checkbook and generously wrote down 150 million New Taiwan Dollars. I signed my name, tore it off, and handed it to my aunt.
When I took out the checkbook, she recognized the value of this checkbook. On one hand, she was happy that the problem had been solved, but on the other hand, she felt ashamed. In the past, she thought that our family was a group of low-class people and was not worth interacting with. Now, I was still a relative and helped her out. She was also grateful in her heart.
Aunt did not say much after taking the check. She only said,"Thank you! When you have time, come over and sit at home!" I got up and walked out of the door with my great-uncle and uncle. Dad and I also sent them off. Looking at his father standing quietly at the door, he must have felt very emotional. Human emotions were cold and warm, just like drinking water. It seemed that Dad had made a breakthrough in his mental state. It was a good thing, so I didn't disturb him. I quietly waited for him to come back to his senses before we slowly walked home together.
