Chapter 274: Gambling
Sakai Masao was a little unhappy and said: "You are obviously blaming me for this! At the beginning, who would have thought that this child who got justice could have such a big profit now?
In the beginning, our intentions were relatively simple. On the one hand, it is to fulfill the original agreement between the two families, so that their two children can cultivate their relationship well, after all, under the same roof, it is inevitable that they will fall in love for a long time.
On the other hand, it is financially possible to reduce some of the burden on Rie. The rent and living expenses during her four years of study in Tokyo are not a small amount. Who would let her learn this musical art so costly?
Besides, before I sent Rie to Tokyo University of the Arts, you completely agreed. Now, you're putting the blame on me alone. ”
"I didn't blame you. Aiko Sakai argued.
"Even if you think this way at the moment, I'm afraid it's completely unrealistic if I didn't send Rie to the righteous house in Tokyo in the first place, and replaced it with Meiling!
Even if Rie doesn't live in Tokyo's righteous house, she still has to go to university in Tokyo, and she still has to find a place to live. In the end, her expenses are not on our shoulders.
The reason why our family has been in this unbearable situation is not only my fault for losing money by speculating in stocks, but also because of your fault for running a folk hotel.
It is your arbitrary assertion that after the Asian financial crisis, the economy will pick up and the business of folk hotels will improve.
So, you mortgaged the house we live in to the bank, and borrowed a lot of money outside. However, this is not the case. Did I blame you for that? No?" said Masao Sakai with a heartfelt voice.
"Honey, I know. I know you are the best and most loving man. Aiko Sakai said with a smile on her face.
"Don't talk about these bad things. Let's think about how to deal with the urgency!" Sakai Masao didn't take care of people like a woman.
"If justice really wants to clear the obstacle of marrying Kyoko Fukada, it will be really troublesome. Aiko Sakai pulled back to the topic.
"I'm not going to hand over this pledge. If I don't give justice, will it be difficult for him to rob him?" Sakai Masao swore solemnly.
"My dear, of course you can choose not to file the affidavit. But don't forget that our family's debts don't wait for anyone. Aiko Sakai reminded.
Masao Sakai suddenly wilted like a deflated ball. He was a man who had worked in a bank, so he knew exactly what the price of bankruptcy would be.
It is precisely because this price is too high that the couple tried every means to avoid bankruptcy.
Masao Sakai groped through all his pockets from top to bottom with both hands, but he didn't find any cigarettes. Only then did he remember that he was forced by debt to quit smoking.
"If you have another solution, even if it's just one, you can simply not accept the conditions that Justice proposes and let Rie convey to us. Aiko Sakai said calmly.
"Looks like we have to accept such an alliance under the castle?" said Sakai Masao helplessly.
"It's not like we're completely out of bargaining. Does justice not only want to help us pay off our debts, but also give us a pension of 100 million yen in cash?
Actually, we can ask him for 200 million yen, 500 million yen, even if it is 100 million yen, or even more.
It's just that if we do this, it will be tantamount to making Righteous Heart disgusted, and everyone in the Sakai family, whether it is Rie or Mirei, including our Sakai family, will not be treated by him. Aiko Sakai analyzed carefully.
"Your wishful thinking may not work. I believe that justice is accurate, and time waits for no one. We are in a hurry like ants on a hot pan, and he doesn't need to be in a hurry. We are the debtor, not him.
He just needs to wait until we're bankrupt before he talks about the oath. At that time, we will be depressed, and it is normal that we will not be able to get such a handicap that he has opened now. When it comes to bargaining, we don't have an advantage, we are at a disadvantage. Masao Sakai said eloquently.
"The problem is, if we don't ask for more money now, we probably won't be able to do it again in the future. Even if you don't think about your two daughters, you have to think about Shota!" said Aiko Sakai, who still loves her youngest son the most.
Masao Sakai didn't answer, and suddenly walked around the house. He couldn't stop walking for several laps. His head is a mess, and his heart is full of contradictions.
Out of his original intention, he naturally didn't want to be so dishonorable and immoral. However, in the face of his current debt, there is nothing he can do.
Sakai Masao's head flashed with inspiration, and he stopped and stood still: "Bet, we can only gamble like this." Gambling is justice, and this child's heart loves us. ”
"What do you mean?" asked Aiko Sakai, unclear.
"We may as well pretend that we don't know anything, don't do any analysis, just calmly accept the kindness of justice to pay off our debts for us, but we don't accept that he will give us an extra 100 million yen in pension money.
We are 12% grateful to him for helping the Sakai family so much, after all, it is the biggest crisis and difficulty in the history of our family. What do you think?" said Masao Sakai slowly.
Aiko Sakai fully understood the meaning of her man's bet. In her opinion, as long as they don't open their mouths, it is more likely that they will be able to get more money than they are now.
Of course, this is also to make the words completely clear, and there is no room for manoeuvre. If you follow such a method of your own man, although they take less, there is still something to look at.
What if the speculation of the husband and wife is not the idea of the child? He still loves Rie in his heart, and it will not affect the relationship between the two and the relationship between the Kishimoto family and the Sakai family. Of course, once the bet is lost, it is exactly what they analyzed, and it is really a big loss.
So, Aiko Sakai weighed and weighed, but still couldn't make such a decision, after all, 100 million yen more, 100 million yen less is just a matter of numbers for Masayoshi Kishimoto, but for her, it is like digging meat from the heart.
"You're talking!" Sakai urged.
"You're the head of the family, not me. Why don't you think about any other way?" said Aiko Sakai, still distressed by the numbers on the money.
"Why do you just leave me alone, you?" asked Masao Sakai rhetorically.
"Okay, okay, I'll think with you. We came up with a foolproof solution that would be acceptable to the righteous child and would not make us feel bad.
What I really didn't expect was that it was not only sad to lose money, but also to make money, and it was completely excessive. ”
Aiko Sakai and Pan revealed that the most real feeling of the moment is like trading stocks. The stock in this hand went all the way up, both worried about its sudden decline and afraid of selling early.
If it will rise sharply, even if it is thrown out at this time and makes money, it is equivalent to losing money. After all, people's mental state and eyes are generally looking upwards.
