I slept until 12 o'clock at noon.

My mother shouted at the door dozens of times, knocked on the door hard, and made a loud noise before Chen Jin in the room woke up.

"Alright, I'm up!"

He bounced up from the bed, opened the door quickly, and saw his mother with a cold face at the door.

Saturday.

Chen Jin immediately realized that today was a Saturday and Sunday.

Generally speaking, as a dual-income family with stable work, from Monday to Friday, parents do not eat at home at noon because they have to go to work.

So from Monday to Friday, Chen Jinke can explore the other world to his heart's content, return to the earth bedroom, sleep with his head bored, and sleep until five or six o'clock in the afternoon.

But not on Saturdays and weekends, his parents are at home, so he has to cooperate a little and get up at noon to eat.

It's just that he was too tired last night, and he just slept too deadly, and he didn't hear the alarm clock ringing, and it was the loud knocking sound of his mother's door that woke him up from his sleep.

"Son, this is the third time, you really should be a little restrained."

He Li was not angry, at least from her calm tone, Chen Jin did not hear the slightest smell of gunpowder.

However, the word 'third time' made him feel a little apprehensive in his heart.

It's all too familiar, and every time, it's a sign of an approaching storm.

He could only smile cautiously: "Mom, I will pay attention in the future and make sure to get up on time to eat!" ”

He Li glanced at him lightly and nodded slightly.

……

On the dinner table.

The family finished their lunch peacefully.

"Hey~!"

He Li put down her chopsticks and suddenly sighed heavily.

Chen Jin's face changed.

"Son, there is something that my mother wants to tell you." He Li looked at Chen Jin with a heavy face and said.

"What's the matter, mom, you say." Chen Jin hurriedly pricked up his ears, the play meat is here!

"Recently, there have been a lot of news about the thunderstorm of P2P platforms on the Internet, have you heard about it?"

"Well, I think I've heard a little bit." P2P is a peer-to-peer lending platform for internet finance, which is used to provide third-party lending services, which has high risks.

"Mom was also hit by a thunderstorm, and a P2P platform invested by my mother has also exploded recently, and all the principal can't be withdrawn." Speaking of this, He Li pulled out a tissue and sobbed softly.

Chen Gang's face also changed, he looked at her and asked, "Have you touched P2P too?" I said earlier that thing is a Ponzi scheme, and sooner or later it will explode, how much have you lost? ”

He Li wiped her tears and sobbed: "The principal has not been withdrawn for more than 1 million, and the platform has run away." ”

"More than a million?"

Chen Gang's eyes widened, slapped the table, pointed at her, and said, "Is there a good thing about pie falling from the sky?" P2P is such a thing, others don't understand, why are you also fooled? More than 1 million, how many years do we have to work to save so much? Now it's all for you! ”

Father Chen Gang scolded all the time.

He Li didn't say anything, just kept wiping her tears, feeling sorry for the huge amount of money lost.

"Dad, don't talk about Mom."

To stop his father's criticism, Chen Jin asked He Lidao: "Mom, can you tell me the specific situation, which platform you bought, and is the relevant legal person of the platform controlled?" Did the police intervene? ”

He Li introduced: "The platform I invested in is called 'Tianze Finance', with a fund-raising scale of more than 50 billion, and the platform boss has already gone abroad with the money...... You see this is the APP of this platform, but I can't log in, and my account has been blocked......"

She put her mobile phone in front of Chen Jin, and sure enough, she saw an APP of 'Tianze Finance', and she really couldn't log in.

"Oh~"

Chen Jin nodded suddenly, and four big words appeared in his heart:

Come prepared.

Mom came prepared this time.

He didn't continue to investigate, but comforted the tearful mother and said: "Mom, don't be too sad, when this kind of thing happens, our family can only consider ourselves unlucky, whether we can recover the loss, we can only report the case and see how the police deal with it." ”

Chen Gang slapped the table: "Recovering losses? Your mother has already been a pick-up man for others, and she has recovered a gross loss? Your mother's IQ is not enough, and this time she is paying the IQ tax. ”

"Chen Gang, what do you mean? And so on and forth, huh? ”

He Liliu raised her eyebrows and immediately slammed over.

Chen Gang looked stunned and didn't dare to open his mouth.

"That'...... Mom, what should we do next? With such a large amount of money lost, do we still have money for our family? Chen Jin on the side asked.

"Uh~"

He Li coughed and said, "This ...... There is still a little pocket money at home, enough to live a normal life, but there is no big money. ”

She looked ashamed: "Son, it's just that you're going to have a hard life, mom doesn't have any extra money here, and if you have any big expenses in the future, mom really can't help you." ”

"Son, it's all because your mother is not good, your mother is too stupid and deceived by others, so you have to live a hard life with you."

She wiped the corners of her eyes with a tissue, looking like she was about to cry.

Familiar.

This scene.

Chen Jin felt too familiar.

He remembered that when he was 15 years old, he was in the third year of junior high school, when he was at the peak of his youthful rebellion, spending lavishly, playing games all night, forming cliques at school, fighting, dating his little girlfriend, smoking, drinking, and almost getting involved in drugs with a few friends...... During that time, he did almost anything daring.

He became the most troublesome student in the school, became the black sheep, and the school tried to expel him several times.

Until one day, he came home from school.

My mother sat on the sofa crying, and my father squatted in the corner and smoked a cigarette.

There were several big men in sunglasses and suits standing in the room, handing a contract to their father, looking at him with a threatening gaze and saying, "If you don't sign, you will chop off your son's hands and feet!" ”

My father had to sign it.

Leaving the house with a few simple clothes, my mother cried and said, "Son, your father went outside to gamble with others, fell into someone else's trap, and owed them 5 million!" ”

"Now the house is gone, the car has been driven away, and my mother only has 200 yuan left, so she can only find the cheapest house to live in."

So a family of three squeezed into a rough house of only 10 square meters, with a monthly rent of only 100 yuan.

The remaining 100 yuan is a month's food expenses for a family of three.

How did the family get over that month?

The rice bought is the cheapest, and the oil may be gutter oil.

The pot and stove were borrowed from the landlord.

I don't have enough money to buy vegetables, so I can only go to the vegetable market, pick the best ones from a pile of rotten vegetable leaves, and have to endure the strange eyes of passers-by around me.

When you see an empty mineral water bottle on the side of the road, you will subconsciously pick it up, thinking about going to the scrap yard to exchange some money and buy the cheapest sugar water popsicle to eat.

Back at school, Chen Jin felt like he had fallen into hell.

The classmates who had a good relationship with him before distanced themselves from him, as if they couldn't avoid him.

The little girlfriend lies in the arms of a good brother.

Some of his classmates who had a holiday with him blocked him at the school gate after school, dragged him into the alley and beat him violently.

No one has reached out to help.

The contempt, ridicule, ridicule, and even fall into the well around him made him feel cold.

That month, as if he had fallen from heaven to hell, he realized what "brotherly love" is, what is "the essence of love", and what is "human warmth......

During that time, his rebellion, arrogance, and empty eyes all disappeared.

Half a year later, Chen Jin's family moved out of the cramped rough house and moved into a medium-furnished two-bedroom rental.

Then the parents announced that they had paid off their gambling debts, bought a high-end commercial house, and lived back to the material abundance they once had.

But at this time, he was mature and sensible, learned to do housework to reduce the burden on his parents, understood the importance of studying, and his grades were no longer at the bottom of the class.

Most importantly, he learned to keep a low profile.

Until one day, through the crack in the door that was not tightly closed, he accidentally overheard the conversation of his parents in the room.

"Lao Chen, do you remember that time when I took my son to the vegetable market to pick up vegetables, I saw you sitting in a ramen restaurant eating beef ramen, my son pointed at you and said that it was Dad, I insisted that it was not, saying that he was hungry and dizzy, and quickly pulled his son away, almost revealing the filling, Lao Chen, you are not reliable at all."

"I'm embarrassed to say that after work, don't you often buy pork knuckle to eat at home? If you ask me to eat a piece, you won't give it. ”

"Get out! I secretly ate pork knuckle while my son was in school, is it the same nature as you? ”

"Hey, those days were really bitter and sweet, I actually miss it a little."

“……”

Chen Jin at the door was completely stunned.

Dejected, he returned to his bedroom.

Ever since he learned the truth that day, he has become lavish in spending.

And whenever He Li feels that he is a little "excessive" and spends too much money, similar "gambling owes money", "accidentally loses money", and "is cheated of money" dramas will be staged in front of him.

This time, too, He Li felt that he was "at home" in his room a little too much, and deliberately suppressed him a little through economic means.

Chen Jin nodded and said, "Okay, Mom, I will spend less money in the future, and I won't ask you for money to spend." ”

"Son, it's the mother who is not good, and you are suffering." He Li blamed herself again.

Chen Jin stood up and said helplessly: "Mom, you ...... It's really getting more and more proficient. ”

glanced at his father Chen Gang again: "Dad, your performance just now was a bit exaggerated." ”

"Uh-huh~"

"Ahem~"

The couple coughed at the same time, their expressions slightly embarrassed.

Chen Jin had already turned around and went downstairs.
