"Big brother, you stand first!" Lan Xiang stopped crying, suddenly stood up and walked to the door, holding her stomach and blocking the direction of her eldest brother: "I heard Zhijun say, I gave you five hundred yuan before?" ”

"What, you want money?"

Lan Xiang said: "Big brother! Since it is a split family, it is natural that the brothers will settle the accounts. In fact, there is not much money, but we are going to buy fish fry and fish feed next, and we are quite short of money, so it is better for you to give this to us first. ”

The eldest brother looked in the direction of Zhijun, he lowered his head and avoided his gaze, and it seemed that he wanted to come back.

Mom hurriedly said: "There is such a thing? Zhiguo, you should pay it back quickly, your second brother's business is important. ”

The eldest brother sneered: "Okay, since the younger brother and sister want to figure it out, let's calculate it together, the second child's house has been sold by him, and now the house in my house should belong to me and Lin Cailian, and the pension money is also the rent of Lin Cailian's land, as well as the money I gave to the family before, all of which were taken away by him and eloped with Zhang Yutong and spent it all, you might as well return the money first!" ”

Lan Xiang and Wang Tao were all shocked, but they didn't expect the eldest brother to have such a time to pull down his face.

Mom grabbed his arm: "Zhiguo, how can you ......?"

"This is my matter with my second brother, Mom, you don't want to participate!" The eldest brother said coldly. Mom didn't dare to speak.

The second brother said, "Big brother! What are you doing here, this brother really doesn't want to deal with it? ”

"It's just that you don't do things too desperately, I usually keep quiet, just suffer a little loss, but someone wants to ride on my neck and, I definitely can't bear it!"

Mom sobbed: "Why do I have to raise so many sons, what a sin!" Zhiguo, why are you like this now? ”

"Because I've endured enough, I don't want to."

Lan Xiang cried aggrievedly again, the second brother was distressed, and kept persuading.

The eldest brother said coldly to the second brother: "Don't forget how you gave me the 500 yuan, you have the face to ask for it, I will settle the previous account!" ”

"I don't want it! You go immediately, and our brothers will be cut off in two! ”

Mom also wanted to stop the eldest brother and wanted him to apologize to the second brother: "The family has become like this now, can't you bear it as the boss?" Do you have to wait until this family is scattered before you are willing? ”

The eldest brother said: "Mom, the second brother is also rich, and you can't count on me alone in the future, starting next month, I will give you half less money, and Zhijun and I will be twenty yuan per person, plus Qiao'er's five yuan, nearly fifty yuan, which is enough." If you are sick and take medicine or something in the future, our two brothers will share it evenly, and Qiao'er will be over with a little bit. ”

Mom panicked and hurriedly said, "How can this be done, your second brother is going to have three children, how can you support this?" ”

"Then I still owe hundreds of dollars in debt for buying a house, and I didn't stop giving money because of this, no one's money is blown by the wind! Second brother, should you not give the pension money? ”

The second brother snorted and didn't answer. Lan Xiang bit her lip and didn't speak.

Or Wang Tao said: "Your second brother is upside down, why do you want to provide for her?" ”

"When you got married, you didn't say that you wouldn't provide for your mother, right? Second, you have never raised an old man before, and it is your turn, if you feel wronged, let's go to the village chief and see what he has to say. ”

The second brother lowered his head, he had ruined his family before, and he wanted to break off his mother as soon as he had money, if he really did this, he would definitely be poked off his backbone.

Seeing the reluctance of the second brother, my mother couldn't help crying, but even so, she still didn't want the second brother to pay, so she persuaded the eldest brother to endure it.

The eldest brother didn't listen, and told her a few words to pay attention to her body, and then slammed the door and left.

The eldest brother finished the matter, and then said: "Cailian, when you send money, you only give twenty, and you don't need to give more than one cent." As for the five hundred, I am not rare, but I will never give it to him at this time. ”

I know that the eldest brother still cares about the second brother and wants to leave him a money to cross the river.

The sister-in-law frowned and said: "I knew that if I didn't go, I would make such a fuss, and I had to fight for my life!" I really regret dying! ”

I smiled: "Sister-in-law, you don't have to be sad, the second sister-in-law did it on purpose!" Finish up my reputation, let the eldest brother and the second brother break up, and the whole fishpond is theirs. She must have been very panicked when she heard that you owe money to buy a house, the second brother's family now has a lot of money, and Lan Xiang is afraid that we will worry about it. Even if you go, she'll still pick and choose. ”

"Why is she so selfish?"

The eldest brother shook his head: "No, this is the person who is passing by." Who wants to be dragged down by some poor relative? I used to be just stupid. ”

The sister-in-law nodded, holding the child and shaking it gently, with a resentful expression on her face.

I laughed and said, "Can't you eat?" I'm hungry! ”

"Why don't you eat it! I'm angry at home, so let's get something to eat! ”

I asked my sister-in-law to watch the children, made a little scallion pancake that my eldest brother likes to eat, added a little hand-rolled dough, beat a few eggs, and the dinner on New Year's Day was so simple.

The days went on, and after New Year's Day, the work of tutors gradually stopped, and everyone was preparing for the winter vacation.

I began to wait anxiously for news of the stock, and at the same time sold the bungalow I had bought from my sister-in-law. With the leftover contents and coal, a total of 1,900 yuan was sold, and I was ready to buy stocks.

Finally, it wasn't until the start of the winter break that the first stock exchange opened here, and it was a rarity at the time, and everyone didn't know what it was.

I got up before dawn and went there early to buy stocks, but I didn't understand this thing, because I had never been exposed to this thing in my previous life, and it was impossible for a brain like me to make money in the stock market at that time. But back in the 90s, I knew that stocks at this time were almost all about buying and making money, and there was no risk at all.

I thought that business would be deserted here, but who knew that when I went in, I found that it was crowded with people, and the big iron gate could not be closed, I asked a few people to know that they were all from the provincial capital or even farther away, and their stocks were earlier, and there were already a lot of rich people who made a lot of money.

But helplessly, the stocks over there have been sold out, and money can't buy them. So when I heard that there was an exchange here, of course I came over. I stood in a daze, watching a lot of uniformed staff shouting with loudspeakers to maintain order, and traders in vests yelling over walkie-talkies. I couldn't even squeeze in. I could only look at the electronic screen in front of me from a distance, and there were colorful numbers shining on the top of the screen.

The queue here is almost all men, all ages, and even outsiders with strange accents, all of them are anxiously moving forward, the line is moving very slowly, and from time to time someone looks at their watches with very nervous expressions.

I was like a flat boat floating in the ocean, and the palms of my hands were full of sweat. I was so nervous that I was fainting to death, and just when I thought my leg was going to break, I finally saw the counter in front of me.

Without raising their heads, the people inside asked me, "How much do you want?" ”

"Huh? How much do you want? I was stunned.

He said impatiently: "Subscription warrant!" How much do you want! ”

"What is a warrant?" I thought I could buy stocks directly, but I didn't expect to need this thing. Before the people inside could speak, all the people around them began to urge.

"How can you buy stocks without a warrant? Can you do it? Don't buy it and go aside! ”

I gritted my teeth and said, "Who doesn't buy it!" How much does it cost? ”

"A book of thirty!"

I was taken aback, why is it so expensive? Count the money in my hand, all of them are added together, only more than two thousand, if you don't understand, you may have to lose it all, but the opportunity is in front of you, how can you not buy it, so I gritted my teeth and said: "I want eighty copies!" ”

I handed him the money and took out a lot of blue notebooks.

The man said, "Come and draw lots in three days!" ”

"What's the lottery?"

The people around me were all glaring at me, scolding, as if they had seen the mallet of Tianzi No. 1. Frightened, I shrank my neck, and no longer dared to ask what it meant, so I put the book in my pocket and turned to leave.
