Chapter Twenty-Seven: Wood Like Stone
When Zhang Can returned to Liu Xiaoqin's house upstairs, Liu's mother was a little overjoyed, although Zhang Can said so just now, but in her experience, as long as it comes to reality, ordinary people will run away, no matter how beautiful her daughter is, in the eyes of those people, it costs 500,000 yuan, it is obviously not worth it.
In this place, 500,000 yuan is not a small number, and the vast majority of rural families will not earn more than 500,000 yuan in their lifetime.
Before Zhang Can took out the envelope, Liu Xiaoqin's mother asked a little nervously: "Xiao Zhang...... This matter with our little piano is ...... What's the idea? ”
Zhang Can bit his lip, groaned for a while, and then said, "Auntie, I'm sorry, I can't agree to this matter for the time being, I ......"
Mother Liu suddenly had a disappointed expression on her face, and said in a trembling voice: "Xiao Zhang...... Are you blaming ...... Are you angry with Xiaoqin? In fact...... Actually, our Xiaoqin is really a good girl......"
"That's not what I mean, Auntie misunderstood!"
Zhang Can shook his head and explained: "Auntie, I know that Xiaoqin is a good girl, but emotional matters can't be forced, I ...... All I can say is I'm sorry! ”
Liu's mother's eyes are a little moist, and the situation in her family really makes her not know what to do!
Zhang Can took out the envelope from his pocket, then handed it to her, and said, "Auntie, this letter, you help me hand it to Xiaoqin, take care of yourself, I'm leaving!" ”
Liu's mother was in a daze with the envelope, she didn't notice when Zhang Can left, her eyes were moist, sad and painful, her husband was still lying in the hospital waiting to die, and her daughter was still working hard to earn money, but her husband's illness was a bottomless pit, and her daughter was only more than 2,000 a month, where was it enough? It's not a drop in the bucket.
In the midst of the sorrow, the body was weak, and he sat down on the sofa, I don't know how long it took, the sky darkened, the door was opened with a "squeak", and then the switch sounded with a "snap", and the light turned on again.
It was Liu Xiaoqin who came in, and when she saw her mother's appearance, she suddenly exclaimed: "Mom, you...... What happened to you? It's Dad...... Is there something wrong with Dad? ”
Mother Liu raised her head, looked at her daughter, her face was full of sadness and sadness, and handed her the envelope that was clenched tightly in her hand and said, "Xiaoqin, Xiao...... Xiao Zhang has been here! ”
Liu Xiaoqin took the letter and asked puzzledly, "Xiao Zhang?" What Xiao Zhang? ”
Mother Liu's tears welled up again, covered her face and said, "Xiaoqin, I'm sorry, it's my parents who dragged you down, I'm really sorry!" ”
"Mom, what are you talking about, I am your daughter, my parents' affairs, who will bear the children's responsibilities, don't talk about these things!"
"It's not your father's business, it's Xiao Zhang, the boyfriend introduced to you by the second aunt, the young man surnamed Zhang, he has been here!"
"What?" Liu Xiaoqin was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed: "Mom, how did he find here?" He...... You didn't say anything to him, did you? ”
Mother Liu shook her head and said with tears in her eyes: "Xiaoqin, I think it's too bad for Xiao Zhang to hide this from others, so I told him everything about our family, Xiao Zhang...... Xiao Zhang later refused, and he asked me to hand you this letter, saying...... Say I'm sorry! ”
Liu Xiaoqin's expression immediately changed, but she didn't expect her mother to finally reveal this matter to him, since she understood that she refused, it meant that her hope was cut off!
After staying for a long time, Liu Xiaoqin looked down at the envelope in her hand, a little annoyed, since she had refused, why did she leave any more letters? Gritting his teeth, he couldn't help but tear off the envelope with both hands, and he didn't want to read what he said in the letter anymore.
It's just that when I used force, there was a hard piece in the envelope in my hand, which was not torn, so I tore the head of the envelope again, and took out the hard thing to see, it was very clear that it was an ICBC bank card!
Liu Xiaoqin was stunned, and when she saw the bank card, she felt that something was wrong, thought about it, and quickly took out the letter in the envelope and opened it hurriedly.
There were a few lines written on the letterhead, not much, very brief.
"Xiaoqin, I'm sorry, I can't accept your promise, I can't accept the fact that I sold my body for my parents, there are 500,000 yuan in my bank card, don't be grateful to me, I can lend it to you, and I hope you can keep this matter secret. Zhang Canzi. ”
Just a few short lines of words, the last one is written the password of the bank card, six eights.
Liu Xiaoqin was in a daze, and Liu's mother didn't know what was written in the letter, seeing that her daughter's expression was wrong, she hurriedly asked, "Xiaoqin, what did Xiao Zhang say?" Are you okay? ”
Liu Xiaoqin handed the bank card to her mother, and said bitterly: "Mom, he said that he couldn't accept my marriage to him, but he left 500,000 yuan for me to ......"
"What?" Liu's mother was stunned, then jumped up, grabbed the bank card, took it and looked at it, but it was impossible to see if there was any money on the card, after thinking about it, she dragged Liu Xiaoqin out of the door, out of the alley, and there was an ICBC store across the street.
Liu's mother dragged her daughter to the ATM outside the bank, her hands trembling, but she still trembled and inserted the bank card into the card slot of the ATM.
When the display screen showed that the password was entered, Liu's mother hurriedly said to her daughter: "Password, enter the password quickly!" ”
Liu Xiaoqin was still in a daze in her mind, and almost without feeling it, she typed in six eights, and then confirmed, and after the screen was displayed again, the balance showed a five in front and many zeros in the back.
Mother Liu trembled her fingers and counted them one by one: "Yuan, ten, hundred, thousand, thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand...... Oh my God, Xiaoqin, it's ...... That's half a million ......."
Liu Xiaoqin was also stunned, she couldn't figure out why Zhang Can gave her 500,000, although the letter was lent to her, but according to her ability, even if she didn't eat or drink, she could only save 30,000 yuan a year at most, 500,000, it would take nearly 20 years to pay it back, and it would not cost it!
In the past, those people were like wolves in the color, eager to swallow themselves, but they were reluctant to pay 500,000 yuan, this Zhang Can felt that he was a little different from others when he saw it for the first time, and now he has this thought!
Liu Xiaoqin can be sure that everyone she has met in the past who has intentions for her will never give her 500,000 yuan and then refuse her, and there is no requirement for her, which is unimaginable!
The mother and daughter were stunned at the ATM and stayed for a while, Liu's mother simply took out 10,000 yuan, and then pulled her daughter home, ready to go to the hospital to settle the medical expenses.
Zhang Can took the car back with 100,000 yuan, thinking about it in the car, he had a headache, he didn't know how to tell his parents and sisters-in-law about it, and the matter of giving 500,000 yuan must not be said, but the key thing is that he has clearly rejected Liu Xiaoqin's marriage in the letter, and everyone in the family knows that the day after tomorrow will depend on the household, and the day in the middle of the month will be picked to get married, this person will not come, so what should I do?
After transferring the car in the town, and then getting off at the entrance of the village, Zhang Can finally made a decision, took out his mobile phone and called Zhu Linlin, asking him to hurry over early tomorrow morning to do the matter of the golden silk nanmu, and later it will change, although most of the money earned by the four golden silk nanmu is given to himself, but Zhu Linlin can also earn at least one million, compared with the profits in his previous store, this million is not a small amount.
Zhu Linlin agreed with a smile, of course he would not have an opinion, although he gave Zhang Can the big head, but how much wealth did Zhang Can bring him?
Yu Ji's paintings earned the least before, but there were two or three hundred thousand, and then in the business in the suburbs, Zhang Can picked up ivory miniature carvings, Wang Qian spent 10 million to buy it, and he got another 5 million, and now Zhang Can has returned to his hometown, and he can still bring him business, and he can earn another million in plain water, think about it before, Lao Su only earned him a million a year, and Zhang Can didn't get ten days later, and he actually made him six or seven million pure profits, this person is more than a person, it really can't be compared, and he will be angry when he compares!
Back home, Zhang Can saw that his mother, sister, and sister-in-law were busy preparing food, and there were already three black wooden pillars more than four meters long in the hall, which were the four golden silk nanmu by the river.
Zhang Can hurriedly went out and ran to the river, but before he reached the river, he saw his father, his eldest brother Zhang Jiye and seventeen or eighteen strong men in the village, carrying the golden silk nanmu back, and the village chief shouted and commanded in front, very loud and hard.
When Zhang Guonian saw his son running over, he immediately stopped, and then said: "Everyone, take a break, take a break!" Then he asked Zhang Can: "Son, have you gotten the money back?" ”
Zhang Can nodded, and Zhang Guonian hurriedly beckoned: "Okay, you give it to the uncle, it has been said that the uncle will summon the labor force in the village to build the road and pay the salary." ”
Zhang Can was happy in his heart, don't look at honesty dad, but honest people are more convincing, the village chief is also the family of Zhang Guonian's generation, Zhang Can has to be called uncle, Zhang Guonian asked him to give 100,000 yuan to the village chief, that is to let him earn some oil and water, 100,000 yuan is not much, but the village chief will definitely be able to make thousands or more than 10,000 yuan for nothing, such a poor village, can earn this money for nothing, it is like falling from the sky, Zhang Guonian said, the village chief was very happy, and immediately called the middle-aged labor in the village to be called by Zhang Guonian.
Zhang Guonian's excuse was that anyway, he asked them to pay for the cement pillars to replace the wooden guardrails, and the four pieces of wood would be carried home, whether they were cooking on the fire, it was not cost-effective to throw them away in vain.
The village chief and other people in the village naturally don't know the details of this, and Zhang Can paid 100,000 yuan to help the village repair the village road, which is good for everyone, and he alone pays for it, this action really moved everyone in the village, after all, if you change any of them, even if you make a fortune and make a lot of money, I'm afraid that such a thing can't be done!
Zhang Can immediately handed the bag he was carrying to the village chief and said with a smile: "Uncle, this is 100,000 yuan, I just got it back from the county seat." ”
looked at the seventeen or eighteen men who were resting, and hurriedly took out an extra two hundred yuan and handed it to the village chief: "Uncle, you go back and put the money, and by the way, help me buy some drinks, the big guys are tired, drink some drinks to quench your thirst." ”
The village chief took the money, but still said, "This ...... Hehe, it can't be so much for two hundred, right? ”
Zhang Can said indifferently: "Buy more, buy some candy for the uncle's little grandson to eat!" ”
The shop was opened by the village chief's daughter-in-law, and the little grandson naturally didn't have to spend money to eat candy, but as soon as Zhang Can said this, the village chief didn't refuse with a smile, and walked away with a smile on his face.
Among the people who carried the golden silk nanmu were Zhang Guoxing and Zhang Guocheng, the two cousins that Zhang Can saw when he came back, Zhang Guoxing said loudly: "Brother Guonian, why is this rotten wood so heavy?" Like a stone, this one is at least more than 1,000 catties, right? There are seventeen of us carrying it, and it's still so hard, what kind of rotten wood is this? ”
