Chapter 11: Dignity?
On the 26th of the lunar month, the weather became gloomy. Wei Chengmo went to the county seat early in the morning to buy New Year's goods for his family. By the way, withdraw all the money from your bank.
The credit union's card was originally 35,000 yuan, plus this cattle raising, the government subsidy was 5,000 yuan.
From the construction bank card, he also took out his only 4,000 yuan deposit, which can be regarded as 44,000 yuan.
Standing in the lobby of the Construction Bank, Wei Chengmo packed all the money close to his body, and walked lightly to the lobby manager.
"Well, that, big sister, I want to ask if I can borrow some money?"
The female lobby manager wore a well-fitting and straight professional attire, and her smile was as sweet as ever.
"Sir, do you have a personal loan?"
"Yes, can I ask me?"
"Then please tell me first, what kind of profession do you have?"
Wei Chengmo's face turned slightly red. "I ...... I'm a cattle breeder. β
"Are you running a cattle farm? How large? β
Wei Chengmo smiled shyly, "The scale is not large, only 50 heads." β
"In this case, do you have a business license and can you mortgage real estate or other fixed assets?"
"The business license has not yet been processed, and the mortgaged fixed assets ...... Is it okay to have a yard in the countryside? β
"Homestead? It may not be worth much, and the loan needs to be guaranteed by someone, preferably a civil servant, or a government unit. β
Wei Chengmo consulted the loan, and originally had the attitude of giving it a try, and he needed a business license to register one, but now when he heard that he also needed a civil servant guarantee, he was directly cold.
"Oh, thank you, I'll go first."
Wei Chengmo was a little frustrated, it was too difficult for ordinary people to do one thing, it didn't matter that they had no background, they had to rely on themselves, there was a fifth grandfather at home who seemed to be very awesome, and as a result, he brought himself a strong enemy.
Some people say that when you are hungry, you look up at the sky. Wei Chengmo wasn't hungry, but he was also looking up at the sky, and a fluttering snowflake fell on his face, "Don't worry, we're still young." Someday, let them look at our faces. β
"Isn't this Wei Chengmo?" A shrill man's voice came, interrupting Wei Chengmo's thoughts.
Turning his head, a slender woman with draped hair and a short, stocky white-faced young man on her arm was walking in the direction of the bank.
Wei Chengmo asked suspiciously, "Zhang Xiaomei?" Wang Shixiong? β
"Haha, Wei Chengmo, I have to be an old classmate, aren't you going to be a soldier? , how did it get mixed up like this?
Look, what kind of dress are you wearing, asking for food? β
"Wang Shixiong, how could Xiaomei fall in love with you, the second ancestor who gnawed at the old man?" Wei Chengmo frowned, to this classmate, the two had never said a word of obedience when they met.
Zhang Xiaomei's eyes were a little evasive, but she quickly calmed down again, and spoke a little meanly, "Wei Chengmo, although we are at the same table in junior high school, but that is in the past, I can't live on naΓ―ve fantasies, Shixiong and I are both studying at Jiangnan University, and we will have academic qualifications and status in the future......
How can it be like you, look at it, dressed as a migrant worker, you dare to wear a tattered camouflage uniform and go out? You're not sweeping the streets, are you? β
These two were Wei Chengmo's former junior high school classmates, and Zhang Xiaomei was his tablemate in junior high school for three years.
Wang Shixiong became Zhang Xiaomei's suitor in his second year of junior high school, he was the crane tail in the class, but it seemed that his family was very rich.
And Wei Chengmo became the person who was an eyesore.
Once...... Wei Chengmo can see it, and he also understands his current situation, and said lightly, "As long as you are self-reliant, there is no shame in sweeping the streets, I am now raising cattle and farming at home." I was busy, so I left first. β
After speaking, Wei Chengmo strode away and gradually disappeared into the sparse snowflakes.
Zhang Xiaomei looked at the once familiar back blankly, and couldn't help but be a little stupid, which good time can only be pressed in the bottom of her heart, and which love that has just sprouted and is stifled can only become a memory......
"At that time, he was tall, handsome, sunny, good at learning, and helpful......"
"Hey...... Hey, come back to your senses, what's that? Wandering when you see your old lover? Wang Shixiong shook his hand in front of Zhang Xiaomei's eyes, a little surprised.
Zhang Xiaomei slapped his hand a little bored, "Wang Shixiong, I don't need you to worry about things before, now you and I take what we need, I need your money, you need women, face." β
Wang Shixiong picked up Zhang Xiaomei's pointed chin, "Tsk, what a heartless woman, have we been together for two years?" β
"Hmph, if it weren't for your Lao Tzu's money, you drugged me at the beginning, and you should be in prison now."
"Hey, when you see your old lover, you will settle old accounts with me? Didn't you just speak to that poor boy very hard? β
Zhang Xiaomei's face was ugly, her good-looking face was a little distorted, and she was a little crazy, "I look like this, the broken flowers and willows, so what is to match him who is excellent?" Let's go, go get the money. β
The two walked towards the bank, Wang Shixiong's heart was full of disdain for Wei Chengmo, "Excellent? One mud leg, you woman is really hopeless. β
"Sooner or later, he will soar into the sky, and he will only become an existence that you look up to."
"You're going to tell me like this, aren't you afraid I'll kick you away? You don't want to get my money again. β
"Hehe, I can't ask for that."
"Hmph, you...... A farmer, can he soar to the sky? If I want to fly one day, I will shoot him to death......" Wang Shixiong showed a dark and hideous look.
Wei Chengmo drove away the immature shadow in his heart and hurried to the market to buy New Year's goods. Seeing that the weather was about to snow, he didn't want to be blocked in the county seat, you must know that there were still three people waiting to get paid to buy New Year's goods on the cattle farm.
When he went home in the afternoon, Wei Chengmo paid Uncle Baoyi, Uncle Wu, and Uncle Liu a salary of 10,000 yuan, and a bonus of 100 yuan, and the crusher and the grass cutter were paid another 2,000, and the material money for building a house and the fence was 8,000.
In this way, Wei Chengmo had 3,000 yuan left on his body.
During the Chinese New Year, Wei Chengmo gave Uncle Liu a holiday, working alone in the cattle farm, cleaning the manure twice a day, and each cow had to eat about 50 catties of forage, and he couldn't feed too much at one time.
Listening to the sparse sound of artillery in the village, Wei Chengmo also wanted to finish his work early and go back to accompany his mother and sister.
During the Spring Festival, many young people in the village who went out to work have returned, and many people just laughed at Wei Chengmo's cattle raising, some people will be optimistic, some people will support it, and there is no shortage of cool words.
Few people in the rural areas are financially well-off, so they all come back to reunite with their families for two days, and then hurry back to the city to work.
Everything is in a hurry, making money, buying a house with a mortgage, swiping a credit card to decorate, borrowing money to marry a daughter-in-law, getting married and having children, going out early and returning late every day, busy for the mortgage, once you encounter an illness and accident, it is a huge disaster, and if you don't do it, your wife will be separated.
Wei Chengmo is busy for money, and everyone else is also running for money, if you don't have money, will that girl marry you and drink the northwest wind?
Thinking about his heart, Wei Chengmo couldn't help but feel deeply lonely, what is this life for? He never figured it out.
Perhaps, in the future, I will continue to think about the meaning of life, .......
Money, it shouldn't be all right......
He just wants to live with dignity.
