Lin Anshu is an ordinary, lowly office worker. The competition in the company is intense, and the boss loves to fine employees and make empty promises. After working diligently for a whole year, sh...
As soon as she got home, she couldn't wait to call her exceptionally talented son.
The implication is that other people's children know how to use their own money to build a small villa for their families, but what about you?
When are you going to bring your money over and build a small villa for our family?
When Liu Meifang's son heard his mother say this, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
He very tactfully indicated that he was now short of money since buying a car for his family.
Let's postpone the idea of building a small villa for the family.
Our home is fine as it is, so there's no need to make a fuss about it.
It's their business if they build a villa; we don't need to compare ourselves to them in everything.
There are people buying courtyard houses in Beijing, so does that mean he should follow suit and buy one too?
The problem is, even if he works his whole life and works himself to death, he still can't afford it.
As long as I'm comfortable with my own life, that's all that matters.
Why do you always compare yourself to others?
It's not about copying everything from other people.
Lin Anshu's family grows organic vegetables and fruits, so why doesn't his mother follow suit?
Why is she only anxious when someone else is building a small villa?
After Liu Meifang's son finished speaking, Liu Meifang on the other end of the phone was so angry that her temples throbbed with pain.
Her tone instantly turned into a sob, and she began to mutter about how difficult it had been for her all these years, how she had finally raised her son with such difficulty, and now...
Her son started talking back to her and completely disregarded her life or death.
Upon hearing the strong moral blackmail implied in Liu Meifang's words, her son frowned, and after a moment's hesitation, he also burst into tears.
"Mom, I know you've had a tough time all these years, so I'm working hard outside to earn more money so you can have a better life."
"But do you know how much pressure I'm under outside?"
"Living in the city, the daily expenses for food, lodging and other necessities amount to about 70 yuan, not including social activities."
"Ever since you started calling me and asking me to buy things for the family every few days, I haven't even been able to get enough to eat every day."
"You know what? The car you asked me to buy for the family a while ago was one I bought with a loan."
"Because I really don't have any money, but you're forcing me to buy it, what can I do?"
"For you, I have no choice but to take out a loan."
"But Mom, do you know how high the interest rate is on the loan I took out? I only borrowed 200,000 yuan, and it's only been less than three months."
"The loan plus interest has accumulated to 360,000 yuan. I can't repay it."
"I'm so worried every day that I can't sleep at all."
"What I fear most is people from loan companies calling me to urge me to repay the money."
"But where would I get the money? My salary is so low, it's gone before I even spend it, not to mention I have to buy things for my family from time to time."
"The TV, refrigerator, air conditioner, washing machine, your cell phone, and so on—which of these wasn't bought with my money?"
"Mom, I'm so tired. Sometimes I think, if I just jumped off the roof, I wouldn't have to work so hard anymore."
"But I don't dare."
"If I die, those loan companies will just come to my house and make you pay off my debts."
Where did you get the money?
"These past few days, the loan company has started urging me to repay the money again."
"They also said that if I keep pretending to be dead and not pay back the money, they will expose my contact list and call the people in my contact list to ask for the money."
"I'm under so much pressure, I feel like I can't go on living."
"Mom, why don't you sell some of the things in the house and help me pay off the loan first?"
"Don't worry, once I've saved up enough money, I'll definitely pay you back all the money you gave me."
After her son finished speaking on the other end of the phone, Liu Meifang's expression and tone immediately changed.
"What? You owe money outside? Nearly 400,000? My God, this... this is illegal lending, isn't it?"
Can we call the police?
"My son, you absolutely cannot die! What will your father and I do if you die?"
"Why don't you just quit your job and go home? That way, those people won't be able to do anything to you."
"Lin Anshu from our village only started making money after she returned home and started farming."
“I heard from the villagers that you college students are much better at farming than us farmers.”
"When you come back, you should learn how to grow organic vegetables and fruits from Lin Anshu, or you can raise crayfish."
"I heard that the family in our village who raised crayfish this year earned nearly 200,000 yuan in just this year alone."
"And that doesn't even include the income from their land."
“After you come back to our home, you can farm and raise crayfish. In two or three years, you’ll definitely be able to pay off your debts.”
"..."
After making that phone call, Liu Meifang felt incredibly heavy-hearted.
Alas, her little villa is hopeless.
Why would her son owe money out of the blue?
I've been working outside for several years now, how come I haven't saved any money?
Even in this situation, why is he still reluctant to go home and farm?
These days, wouldn't it be better to go back to farming? Why is this kid so stubborn?
What should she do if she actually receives a collection call from the loan company?
No, from today onwards, she will not answer any calls from unknown numbers.
