Transmigrating to Book 50, others hoard rice, I hoard money

Yang Yaodi had gained a lot of weight and looked fierce, which was very different from the timid girl she was when she was young. Zhou Rong hadn't seen her for many years and didn't recognize her at all.

As she got older, Zhou Rong didn't like eating pickles, thinking that they contained too much salt and were bad for her health. Yang Yaodi's eldest daughter-in-law picked up a piece of pickles with chopsticks and came close to her, hoping that she would try it and then generously buy a few kilograms.

Zhou Rong waved his hand and refused, then took Xu Man to another stall.

Seeing that Zhou Rong was so disrespectful to her, Yang Yaodi glared at her from behind.

Unable to do anything to Zhou Rong, Yang Yaodi dragged her eldest daughter-in-law back and scolded her, saying that these pickles were made at great expense, and it was a waste and a drain on the family if they were allowed to be tasted casually!

The eldest daughter-in-law defended herself, saying that they had not opened the store yet and she wanted to let others taste a small amount. If they thought it was delicious, they would probably buy it. As long as the food was sold, she would not lose money. Otherwise, it would rot at home or she would have to eat it herself.

Seeing that she was stubborn, Yang Yaodi became even angrier. She put her hands on her hips and started yelling at her eldest daughter-in-law.

People around came to watch the fun, and everyone agreed that Yang Yaodi was difficult to get along with, and that buying things from her would easily make people angry. After watching the fun, they all dispersed, and no one patronized their stall.

Yang Yaodi and her friends didn't open their stall until it was time to close.

Business was not good in the next few days. After all, everyone's living standards were better than before, and it was New Year's Day, so it was not appropriate to buy pickles to entertain guests.

The pickles they made couldn’t be sold, so Yang Yaodi and her family had to eat them themselves.

The whole family sighed over the pickles every day and worried about their future life...

Zhou Qing'an's family is coming back to celebrate the New Year this year. Zhou's father and mother were also taken to the city by Zhou Rong for a reunion dinner. There was no room for them in Chang'an, so at the invitation of Nini and Xu Man, Zhou Rong and his family celebrated the New Year at Chen Mansion this year.

Seeing that Zhou Rong only went back to Chang'an for a visit and never showed up again, and the door was always locked, Luo Qiuyue guessed that she was spending the New Year in Chen Mansion this year, so she went to see her with Luo Dafen, Ma Daya, Ge Hui and Ge Hui's husband Chu Jianping, bringing some gifts.

When these people appeared together, Zhou Rong knew they wanted to ask for something, so he took Luo Qiuyue and the others to the study and asked if they needed her help.

Luo Qiuyue smiled awkwardly: "Nothing can escape your discerning eyes."

Zhou Rong: "If you have anything to say, just tell me. We have been neighbors for so many years, I will help you in any way I can. Qingping said that you often help maintain our house in Chang'an. I want to repay this favor."

Luo Qiuyue: "Don't get me wrong, we help maintain the house out of friendship as neighbors and also to thank you for taking care of us in the past.

We are not here to ask for a favor today. If we had no other options, we would not have bothered you."

Zhou Rong: "Well, I understand. What difficulties did you encounter?"

Luo Qiuyue: "Zhiyuan applied for international trade as his major in college, but because our family has no connections, during his graduation internship last year, he was assigned to a unit that was unrelated to his major and was in another city.

He was unhappy at his job and his salary was low, only a hundred yuan a month, which was not enough to cover his living expenses. Dafen and I helped him a lot.

Zhiyuan heard from his classmates that for people of their major, as long as they have experience studying abroad, various companies will be vying to hire them, and the minimum monthly salary is more than 1000 yuan.

Zhiyuan called us a few days ago and said he wanted to go to the United States for two years to gain some experience so that he could find a high-paying job when he comes back.

He was not sent abroad by the government, so he had to pay for his study abroad at his own expense. The annual cost was at least 10 yuan, and 20 yuan for two years.

The restaurant where Dafen works has been losing money in recent years. The government doesn't want to maintain it anymore and wants to contract it out.

Dafen and I originally wanted to book the restaurant, but the restaurant manager submitted the application before us. He also had connections at the street office, so he booked the restaurant directly.

All the employees inside were replaced by their own people. Dafen was fired and only given 200 yuan in compensation, nothing else.

Dafen and I have almost spent all the money we saved over the years. Xiaofen and Jiakang are willing to lend us 20, but it is still far from 19. I want to shamelessly ask you to borrow . "

Zhou Rong smiled and said, "The moon is not as bright abroad as it is at home. Even if you have studied abroad, you may not be able to find a good job. You still have to rely on yourself.

If the family has the means and can afford all the expenses for the children abroad, they can go abroad to broaden their horizons.

If you need to sell everything you have to send your child out for "gilding", it is equivalent to going to a casino for the first time and betting your entire fortune on the first hand. The risk is too great.

If Zhiyuan can't find an ideal job after he returns, all your investment will be wasted. How will you pay back the money you borrowed?"

When Luo Zhiyuan was a child, he studied and played with Zhou Jifan, and Zhou Rong helped teach him. Luo Dafen thought that her son would have a great future when he grew up.

She was so happy when her child was admitted to university, and felt that their Luo family could finally change their fate and make a name for themselves.

But gradually, Luo Zhiyuan began to frequently ask his family for money to treat people to meals, buy brand-name clothes, shoes, watches, cameras, etc.

She was worried that her child would learn bad things outside, so she didn't give her money. But her mother couldn't bear to see her child suffer, so she always sent money secretly.

Now Luo Zhiyuan wants to go abroad, and he said that if he doesn't help him realize his wish, he will ruin his future. If he doesn't make it, he will never come home.

Luo Dafen felt that Luo Zhiyuan inherited these bad habits from his father Diao Sishun. She regretted that she did not select a man with good genes when she was looking for a father for her child, which caused her whole family to worry about it and even "lose everything"...

Luo Zhiyuan is the apple of Luo Qiuyue's eye. Luo Dafen doesn't want to raise the money to go abroad. Luo Qiuyue is worried that her beloved grandson will never come home. After begging for a long time, Luo Dafen was allowed to go with her to borrow money from Zhou Rong.

After hearing what Zhou Rong said, Luo Dafen said awkwardly: "I don't think there is anything good about going abroad, but Zhiyuan insisted on going to the United States and threatened to sever ties with us.

My mother doesn't want to lose this precious grandson, so she has no choice but to come with me to ask you for money shamelessly."

Zhou Rong looked at Luo Dafen and Luo Qiuyue quietly for a few seconds, and said calmly: "We have known each other for 40 years, and I don't want to hurt our relationship because of money.

If you really want to borrow money, you need to write an IOU, pay 10% interest every year, and provide collateral. If you don't pay back the money within the promised period, the collateral will belong to me.

Let's just be clear about this and not make things difficult for each other, how do you think?"

Luo Dafen paused, and said in embarrassment: "We don't have any valuable collateral. How about I work hard for you and repay part of the money?"

Zhou Rong smiled and didn't respond.

Luo Qiuyue thought for a moment and said, "Do you want those old things?"

Zhou Rong: "It depends on what it is. As long as it's scarce and can maintain its value, I want it."

Luo Qiuyue: "Okay, I'll send you something in two days."
