Chapter 233: Something Happened at My Aunt's House
"What's wrong, Luoluo?"
Yan Luo pulled Zhang Keke all the way away, and only when he was far away from the alley did he let go of Zhang Keke's hand with a long sigh of relief, making the latter inexplicable, and he didn't know what was going on.
"I met a relative, and it was a bit awkward to meet in person."
Yan Luo explained, then thought for a while and asked, "Keke, have you seen the old man who sold multigrain pancakes just now?" ”
Zhang Keke thought about it vigorously, and finally shook his head helplessly.
"There are so many vendors selling snacks in the alley that they change constantly, so I really don't know when they came and when they left."
"Okay!"
Yan Luo didn't get any useful information from Zhang Keke, she was not disappointed, she just wanted to know when Gu Nainai started to work as a trader, so as to infer when their family went bankrupt.
That's right, bankruptcy!
Yan Luo couldn't imagine what other reasons could have caused a person who could be regarded as a rich man to fall to the point where he is today.
In the past, before Yan Luo stepped out of Tashan, she was a little person with little knowledge in her two lives, and she couldn't tell what was rich, what was rich, and what was noble. So when she stepped into the villa of Gu Nainai's family, it was a rich family for her, but time has passed, as she grows older and her experience improves, even when she walked into the mansion of Su Qinghe's family, which was at the top of the rich list, she didn't feel anything.
So today, she knows more clearly that the so-called wealth of Gu Nainai's family is only relative, compared to the original Yan Luo family, their family is indeed rich, but if it is compared to Su Qinghe, no, compared to Yi Qiuxiang and Yang Wei, their family can only be regarded as a good middle class: they open a small company in a small city, live in a villa, drive a luxury car, and have a lot of savings at home. But compared to the real rich, it is the difference between a firefly and the light of the moon, so this is also the reason why their family immediately became poor once something happened.
When the sun had completely set and the night began to fall, and every house in Tashan was lit up with colorful lights, Yan Luo returned to his home, at this time, his grandfather had already prepared a sumptuous dinner, just waiting for her to come back to eat.
After the meal, Yan Luo took her grandfather's arm and walked around her small yard, and then she told her grandfather that she had seen Gu Nainai today.
After listening to Yan Luo's description, his grandfather was silent for a long time, so Yan Luo didn't speak, and quietly accompanied him to be silent.
"Luoluo, I'll contact her tomorrow, and after confirming where she lives, let's go see her."
"Okay!"
Yan Luo nodded.
In addition, my grandfather didn't say anything, Yan Luo knew that my grandfather was actually very conflicted in his heart, although Gu Nainai came to the door last time to solve some contradictions, but how could the past of the two people's grievances for decades be resolved in a few words, I'm afraid that only when one party is not there can be a real grudge.
On the one hand, because only by knowing what happened to their family can they go to the next step, and on the other hand, it also shows that grandpa wants to procrastinate, and the helpless idea of taking one step at a time.
On the first day of Golden Week, Yan Luo slept lazily, and by the time she got out of bed, it was already nine o'clock in the morning.
When she went downstairs, she saw her grandfather wearing a very formal tunic and sitting on the sofa in contemplation.
"Grandpa, are we going to Gu Nainai today?"
Yan Luo asked curiously.
Grandpa nodded.
"I called her yesterday, and we'll be over when you're done with breakfast."
Two hours later, Grandpa and Yan Luo came to the vicinity of Gu Nainai's house.
"Headmaster, where is the destination?"
The taxi that Yan Luo and his grandfather took was operated by the locals in the town, and the driver happened to have graduated from his grandfather's elementary school that year, so he called his grandfather the principal.
In fact, at this time, not only the driver was puzzled, but also Yan Luo was confused in disbelief. Even if I saw Gu Nainai at the school gate yesterday that she had become a vendor selling snacks, and I guessed that their family's current situation might not be very good, but now the place where they are is too dilapidated, this is a famous urban village in Suyang City, although it is near the old city center, it is a place where people at the bottom of the society and migrant workers live, the houses are dilapidated, the roads are dilapidated, and compared with the Gu Nainai family that Yan fell before, well, this is not comparable at all.
"It's here!"
After the taxi had made a half-circle around the urban village, my grandfather finally spoke.
Although Yan Luo was very curious about what kind of position her grandfather relied on in such a place where there was no house number and no road signs, it still did not affect her belief in her grandfather's words.
Getting out of the car, Yan Luo found that they were standing in a place that resembled a small farm yard, different from a real farmer's house, the yard here was small and dirty, and it was full of various tricycles for making snacks.
This is an urban village, and the courtyard is a small two-story farmhouse-like building, but the owner has apparently renovated the small building, isolating small rooms one by one to facilitate rent.
Yan Luo followed his grandfather to the innermost room on the first floor, and then his grandfather knocked on the door gently.
Soon after, the door opened, revealing Gu Nainai's old and haggard face.
"Come in!"
Gu Nainai opened the door and said stiffly.
Then Yan Luo, who walked into the room, couldn't help but be surprised again.
With its swarthy walls, musty smell, and dirty beds, the room was so small that you could only put a small dining table and a few plastic stools after a bed was placed.
"Just sit down!"
Gu Nainai pointed to the stools and said to Yan Luo and her grandfather, and then she sat directly on the bed.
Grandpa didn't sit down, and Yan Luo naturally didn't sit down.
"You, what the hell is going on?"
Grandpa looked at Gu Nainai and asked a little unspeakable.
"Didn't I tell you yesterday? Bankrupt. ”
Gu Nainai said expressionlessly.
"So I asked you what happened to cause the bankruptcy!"
Grandpa's voice was noticeably higher.
I don't know if I was upset by my grandfather's words, Gu Nainai got up from the bed suddenly, pointed at my grandfather and asked, "Yan Shuwen, did you come to see my jokes?" “
"Why should I see your jokes?" Grandpa asked rhetorically.
"Didn't you hate me since I was a child? When I was a child, you were unbalanced when I lived in the city, and when I grew up, you were unbalanced when I saw that I was better than you, so aren't you happy to see me so depressed now? ”
Gu Nainai's questioning made my grandfather's face turn red and white for a while, and his chest also rose and fell.
It took a while for my grandfather to calm down, and then he let out a long sigh.
"Yes, you're right, I've been secretly hoping you're unlucky since I was a child! Because you always show a swaggering appearance in front of me, arrogant and domineering and look down on people, so I hope you are unlucky, and even curse you for being unlucky! ”
"The moment I just came in, I was happy to see you look so depressed now, but it was just a momentary thing, maybe I would be angry when I saw you doing well before, but now I am even more angry when I see you doing well, because you are my cousin and my relative!"
Grandpa's roar obviously calmed Gu Nainai, and made her sit on the bed at once, followed by a long silence.
"Well, I'll tell you what's going on."
The matter of Gu Nai's family is a very old-fashioned story of going from rich to poor.
Their family is in the real estate and building materials business, and recently received a large order, but the other party asked Gu Nainai's company to advance the capital, and then settle in installments during the development process. This is very common in those huge real estate companies, if you feel that you don't have the money to advance money then you can not do it, there are many businesses waiting to take over!
In order to make money, how could it not take risks, so Gu Nainai borrowed money from the bank with the company and the real estate in his name as collateral, and then contacted the manufacturer to buy a lot of building materials to take over the project of this large real estate developer.
But after a month, the raw material manufacturer suddenly contacted her, saying that she had been taking the goods for a month, why didn't she pay, which made Gu Nainai feel very strange, she had already asked people to pay, how could the money not have arrived?
As a result, she found out that not only the producer's money had not been paid, but also the money of many merchants had not been paid! What she didn't expect was that there was no money in the company's account at all!
Where does the money go? All of them were gambled by her good son-in-law Zhuang Xiang!
Then Gu Nainai was naturally furious and asked Zhuang Xiang to come over to see her immediately, but maybe he was a thief, Zhuang Xiang did not come over but chose to run away!
Zhuang Xiang ran away, but the debt couldn't run, and there is no impermeable wall in this world! The company had just discovered a huge deficit, and the company with debts and the bank that lent the company money to the company immediately came to it.
Who is the bank, but people have a mortgage in their hands! So soon, Gu Nainai's company was gone, the real estate and luxury cars under his name were gone, and he was even reduced to living in this kind of urban village and working as a vendor selling snacks!
"What about Yan Jiao and Yan Shu?"
Yan Jiao is Gu Nainai's only daughter, and Yan Shu is Gu Nainai's grandson, both of them have their mother's surname, so they both have the surname Yan.
"Xiaoshu is already in the third year of junior high school this year, and I transferred him to a school in the county below, and Xiaojiao is there to accompany him."
What Gu Nainai didn't say was that this would also allow them to get rid of the trivial matter of being asked for debts, and they wouldn't have to suffer here with her.
"Did Zhuang Xiang find it?"
Regarding her grandfather's question, Gu Nainai smiled bitterly.
"Where to find it! And what if he finds it, how can a gambler like him still have money! ”
