Not long after, the eldest sister finished washing the pot and sat down.

Looking at the group of people closest to him in the world, Lin Fan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Dad, Mom, brother-in-law, eldest sister, second brother, there's something I need to tell you."

“Our family business has actually made quite a bit of money during this period, but you probably don’t know how much. After deducting our daily expenses, I still have about 100,000 yuan in savings.”

“This large sum of money is the result of our family’s joint efforts. I originally planned to save up enough money to share with my older sister, second brother, and parents to improve everyone’s lives. But now it seems that’s not going to happen. I will have to use this 100,000 yuan to start a business.”

Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, Lin Desheng subconsciously frowned and said in a trembling voice, "You're going to use tens of thousands of yuan to start a business?"

In this day and age, being a "ten-thousand-yuan household" was already an unattainable dream. The family never imagined that they had already reached the standard of a "ten-thousand-yuan household."

Their savings amounted to over 100,000 yuan, which is probably more than the combined savings of all the villagers in the surrounding villages.

Besides being shocked by this, what shocked them even more was that they had never dared to dream of such a large sum of money, and Lin Fan was actually going to take it all away to do business.

To be honest, they couldn't imagine or understand such a behavior of betting their entire family fortune. However, based on their trust in Lin Fan, they showed no other expression besides shock, and did not utter any rebuttal.

"Xiao Fan, why are you suddenly making such a big move? Is it related to your trip to the county town?"

The older sister was quite quick-witted and immediately figured out the deeper reason behind it.

Lin Fan didn't explain further and simply nodded silently.

Then he told his family about his plan to start a mid-to-low-end clothing business, and also repeated to them exactly what he had just discussed with Lin Shuying.

"My wife and I discussed it and decided that instead of cooperating with other garment factories and being at their mercy, we should open our own garment factory."

"Of course, opening a garment factory requires a lot of investment. Logically speaking, my money is far from enough, but I thought about it and realized that our current demand for garments is relatively small. A few thousand pieces a month would be enough."

"So we don't need to open a big factory, just a small one will do. We don't need to buy the land ourselves, we can just take over some factories that are about to go bankrupt. This way we can save a lot of money, and a little over 100,000 should be enough."

"However, even so, I estimate that after doing such a big business, there won't be much spare money left at home. I'm afraid I won't be able to live the leisurely life I used to. So I wanted to give you a heads-up in advance."

"Life at home may be a bit tighter in the future, but of course I will try my best to ensure everyone has enough to eat, wear and use, and I won't let you suffer too much."

Lin Fan's meaning was very clear: I've made up my mind, so just do as I say and open a factory.

As for calling everyone over to discuss this, we know that we may have to tighten our belts during this period, so everyone should be prepared and not complain.

The usually taciturn Zhang Weihao suddenly spoke up upon hearing this: "Xiao Fan, what kind of people do you take us for?"

"If it weren't for you, we might only be able to eat meat twice a year during holidays. Now we can eat meat every day. What more could we ask for?"

"Now that you're starting a business and your family is facing difficulties, we can just be frugal like before. There's nothing to be upset about!"

As Zhang Weihao spoke, he reached for his waist.

After fumbling around for a while, he pulled out a cloth bag with a slightly worn patina. He opened the bag and took out another plastic bag, a thick wad of plastic. Douluo found it full of banknotes, some small change, but mostly large denominations.

"Xiao Fan, I'm not good with words and I don't know how to say nice things. I only know that without you, I would never have been able to live such a luxurious life. This is a little bit of savings that your sister and I have accumulated over the years, plus some money that you gave us before. It's not much, just over three thousand yuan. Please don't mind."

As Zhang Weihao spoke, he pushed the money in front of Lin Fan.

On the other side, seeing this, Lin Zhi did not hesitate and immediately said, "Xiao Fan, don't worry. Although I don't have much money on hand, your sister-in-law's family is rich. Not to mention, didn't you give us the five thousand yuan dowry before?"

"I'll go to the county town tomorrow and ask them to lend us the money for our household use. I think your sister-in-law's family will definitely not refuse, given their personality."

Lin Desheng and Liu Chunlian hadn't saved much money, but they wanted to help their son. So they could only sigh helplessly, "Third son, your father and I aren't very capable, and we haven't saved up any wealth."

"If you really need money urgently, sell whatever you can at home. In short, whatever you do, we will support you, even if you lose everything in the end, as long as you are still alive and well."

Lin Desheng, unusually gentle, said, "Your mother is right. As long as our family is harmonious and healthy, money can be earned back. We've had our share of hardship before, so what's a little trouble!"

Looking at his family members with their sincere expressions, Lin Fan's eyes welled up with tears.

These are the family members in this world whom I can trust the most and from whom I can give my all.

Back when they had nothing and were still a scoundrel, they didn't hesitate to take out their savings to pay for their wives' and children's medical treatment.

The relatives are still the same relatives, nothing has changed. When they encountered trouble, they resolutely took out all their savings. They don't know how to do business. In their minds, doing business may result in losing money, but they don't care.

Even if Lin Fan took their savings of several years and ended up losing every penny, they wouldn't say a word about it. That's the bond between family members, true kinship.

Touched, Lin Fan was also somewhat amused and exasperated. He pushed the money bag his brother-in-law had offered back to him and said, "Dad, Mom, you've misunderstood. What I mean is that we probably can't spend money as freely as we have these days."

“It’s not that my family is so poor we can’t afford to eat, and I don’t need your financial assistance.”
