Chapter 171 The Trouble with Greed
The adults were chatting about the children's grades in the east room, while Ruyi took Linlin and Chengcheng from the third child's family to the west room to enjoy the air conditioning.
"Linlin, what is it like to live in the dormitory? Is it fun?"
Ruyi has never left home since she was a child, so she is full of curiosity about the dormitory, but she has spent little time with Linlin before and has never asked her this question.
"Sister, on my first day living in the dormitory, I couldn't sleep because I missed my mother. The life teacher glared at me and told me that if I didn't sleep, she would never let me see my mother again. Do you think it's fun?"
Linlin was silent for a long time before she said this to Ruyi.
Ruyi and Chengcheng looked at each other, and suddenly they no longer envied Linlin's advantage of being able to study in the city.
"Sister, I've been investing with Brother Fan recently, and the rate of return is quite high. If you have money, buy some too."
During dinner in the evening, Sibeier and Darong talked about the investment projects they were working on intentionally or unintentionally.
Although Darong didn't quite understand what was said, she roughly knew that this was a lucrative business, the principal could be withdrawn at any time, and the interest was much higher than that of the bank.
"I don't have much money anyway. Besides, is there really such a thing as pie in the sky? Don't put all your belongings in there."
In fact, Darong was just giving a well-intentioned reminder, but she didn't expect to cause Xiaoling's dissatisfaction.
"Sister, it's only because of our four generations of relatives that we let you invest with us. We don't introduce outsiders. Brother Fan is a big boss, and he does big business. If you hadn't known him for a long time, he wouldn't have let us play."
Darong glanced at Xiao Ling. Although she didn't say anything, her expression was obviously gloomy.
"Stop talking nonsense." After Sibei saw that Darong was unhappy, he cursed at Xiao Ling.
"That's true. Sometimes, when friends are doing well, they are better than brothers." After Xiao Ling said this, she rolled her eyes at Sibeier and went to the kitchen to get some food.
Originally, Darong did not take this matter too seriously. Firstly, she did not have the money to invest. Secondly, not only could she not persuade Sibei and his wife, but it also made Xiaoling think that she was jealous of them. So Darong never asked Sibei again after that incident.
After the start of the second year of junior high school, the newly introduced physics subject made Zhong Ruyi truly understand what science is.
Many girls' understanding of physics is far inferior to that of boys. After Zhong Ruyi started studying physics, her grades were not very ideal.
"Ruyi, don't you like math? Why can't you learn physics well?" Jindan handed Ruyi a popsicle, and the two of them sat on the corridor next to the flagpole and chatted casually.
"Are you stupid? Mathematics is mathematics, physics is physics, what's the connection?" Ruyi rolled his eyes at Jindan, not knowing what was going on in this guy's mind.
"But our physics teacher said that if you are good at math, you will definitely be good at physics."
"I really admire you." Ruyi was too lazy to chat with Jindan about those boring topics. After eating the popsicle, she got up and walked back to the classroom.
"Ruyi, are you and Jinxu a couple?" As soon as Ruyi entered the classroom, the little girl in the back seat looked at Ruyi with a sly smile and asked.
"Me and him? Please forgive me, I wish I could dig out his brain and fix it!"
Ruyi rolled her eyes, put the books on the table away, and lay down to catch up on her sleep.
It was almost Mid-Autumn Festival. Darong was working in the factory that day when Lao San called her on her pager.
"Hua Zi, what's wrong with you?"
"Sister, can you take a leave?"
Huazi seldom called Darong normally. The first thing he said was to ask her if she could take a leave. Darong's heart suddenly rose to her throat.
"Yes, what happened?" Darong frowned nervously and stood up from her workstation.
"I'll pick you up, and we'll talk when we get there."
Lao San's words made Darong extremely nervous. She quickly asked her leader for leave, packed up her things and went to the factory gate to wait for Lao San's car.
"What happened?" Darong asked the third brother as soon as she got in the car.
"My brother was cheated by someone." The third brother said while driving, frowning.
"Is it the investment that we made with Mr. Fan last time?"
When Darong heard that it was Sibei who was cheated, she immediately remembered the investment that Sibei had advised her to make when she was having dinner at Darong's mother's house two days ago.
The third brother nodded, confirming Darong's question.
"How much did you invest?" Darong stared at the third brother's expression, knowing that he definitely didn't listen to her either.
"One hundred twenty thousand."
As soon as the third brother said this, Darong's heart sank. Although Yuxiu and the third brother's income was not low, 120,000 was probably all the third brother's assets.
"Where is your brother?" The third brother did not put his own loss first, which means that the fourth generation's loss must be greater than his.
"My brother hasn't figured it out yet, so his is even more troublesome."
Fan Laosan is a small boss who is doing well in the southern suburbs. He made his fortune by dealing in tobacco and alcohol a few years ago, and later opened his own restaurant in the southern suburbs.
After the restaurant business did not go well in recent years, he has been traveling back and forth between the south and the southern suburbs to do business. He is usually very generous, but few people can tell clearly what business he is doing.
Speaking of it, the friendship between Sibei and him is still based on the youthful loyalty they had when they were young. When Sibei first started to do business, this Fan Laosan once gave him some help.
Sibei had always treated him like his good brother and had been with him for many years, so when he recommended financial investment to Sibei, Sibei invested tens of thousands of dollars without any doubt.
But he didn't realize that he had stepped step by step into a slowly unfolding big net.
Because of the high rate of return and stable repayment period in the early stage, Sibei began to believe more and more in this good brother's way of making money. He not only invested all his own fortune in it, but also began to help him attract investment.
In the early investment fraud trap, the fourth generation became the first victims who lost their fortunes.
"What should I do? He has come to my house to make a scene, saying that the money was given to four generations, so I have to ask him for it alone..."
Darong and Huazi heard Xiaoling's crying before they even entered the door.
In fact, the reason why Sibei suffered such a huge loss was entirely due to Xiao Ling's greed. She only saw the high return of high investment, so she let Sibei borrow money from relatives and friends in the name of borrowing money, and then invested it in her own name.
In this way, all the money the four generations got back became loans from others, and in the end the only ones who suffered the loss were the couple themselves.
"The important thing now is that you have to figure out how much money you have invested. You have to have an idea of whether it is a lot or a little before you can think of a solution!" Darong's father asked with a frown.
