Lao Zhang shook his head, "It's not my little sister, it's something else."

Afterwards, he told Zhao Yuan about Teng’s request to borrow money, and finally mentioned the four words given by Wei Mian.

However, Zhao Yuan felt that this was nothing to worry about.

"What's the big deal? The masters said if you give something away, you can't get it back, so don't borrow it! Otherwise, all the money you've saved for years will go down the drain, and you'll be so angry you'll die."

Lao Zhang: "Lao Teng knows that I have money, and I've said before that I can lend it to him."

Zhao Yuan didn't care about that. "Just say your younger sister is getting married and her family needs to send gifts, so they temporarily embezzled your money. You don't need such a good excuse."

Old Zhang stopped talking. It was so hard for Teng to ask him for the money. He felt embarrassed if he really didn't lend him the money, but he was afraid that it would be a waste of money if he lent him the money.

However, after Zhao Yuan's persuasion, Lao Zhang decided to just let it go even if he lost face. At least he still had the money.

As for those people he wanted to meet, he could find other ways to get in touch with them, as they were of no use now anyway.

After the others left, Wei Mian walked out of the room again, sat on the swing, and watched Zheng Hao play with the baby panda.

During a break from playing, Zheng Hao glanced back at his uncle-in-law and said, "That old Zhang was trying to match his sister's marriage, and it was clearly a good omen, so why did he leave with such a sullen face?"

As soon as Wei Mian heard this, she knew that Zheng Hao must have also calculated the other party's fortune. She smiled and shook her head, then told him the result of her own calculation.

After listening to this, Zheng Hao stopped teasing the panda, took out a notebook from his backpack, and started writing and drawing quickly.

Only after he finished the calculation did he suddenly realize.

"I know why Uncle Shi said it would be fine in a year, because Sister Zhang's mother-in-law will suddenly pass away in a year!"

Zheng Hao thought about it and said, "It must be an accident."

In this way, Zhang Xiaomei's life naturally became better without her picky mother-in-law, and her husband had a good personality to begin with, so the two of them lived without any instigation or friction, and the couple lived in harmony.

Afterwards, the two of them talked about how Old Zhang's face showed signs of financial loss.

"Uncle Master, you told him that the money he lent out would never be returned, so he wouldn't lend it out again. His facial features should have changed accordingly. But why did he still look like he was broke when he left just now?"

Zheng Hao was puzzled.

Wei Mian was silent when Wei Jingxing chuckled, "This is simple. It shows that he doesn't listen to advice at all and is still lending money."

He has lived for so many years and has seen a lot of similar things. Some of the money he lent out could be recovered, but a considerable portion of it was basically wasted.

Even Wei Jingxing himself had foreign debts that he couldn't collect, but he just didn't think about it or care about it.

After thinking for a moment, he added, "It's not necessarily all due to favors. Maybe the interest rate offered by the other party is very high, high enough to be worth the risk."

Wei Mian also nodded. It was indeed true. People always believed that high risks would bring high returns, and this was indeed the case with some financial management.

But what Lao Zhang is doing now is very different from buying financial products. However, this has nothing to do with them. After a few casual words, they changed the subject and talked about when they would return to Qingping.

That night, Lao Zhang received another call from Teng. After a few pleasantries as usual, the other party got straight to the point - borrowing money.

Old Zhang licked his lips, thinking about the words Zhao Yuan had taught him during the day, and said them one by one.

From the moment he said he had no money at the moment, there was silence from the other end, and only after a long time did a long sigh come out.

"Lao Zhang, I thought we were brothers, but why are you doubting me like everyone else? I'll pay you back even if I have to starve. Don't you know my character? I'm really heartbroken by you doing this. We've been brothers for so many years..."

Lao Zhang's face turned red. Although they were separated by the phone, it was as if they were in person, which made him feel extremely embarrassed.

Seeing that Lao Zhang was unwilling to lend him the money, Teng had no choice but to say a few other things, implicitly saying that he would definitely make money from this deal and that he should be able to get the money back in less than half a year.

He also mentioned someone that Lao Zhang knew, saying that the other person wanted to lend him money so that he could make some money, but he didn't agree. He just wanted to help Lao Zhang because they were old classmates and old friends, and he didn't expect the other person to think of him this way.

This made Lao Zhang feel even worse. He felt like he had missed out on a hundred million. Finally, he couldn't help but say, "My sister is getting married, and my family plans to give her some extra gifts. I don't know what she wants. I won't know how much I'll have left until this is over. If there's any left then, we'll talk."

Student Teng knew that what Lao Zhang said was not final, which meant that there was still room for borrowing money. He didn't waste any more words and talked about the prospects of his business and how much other agents had earned from it before hanging up the phone.

After Lao Zhang hung up the phone, he thought about what the master said, "Once you go, you can't come back," and told himself for the Nth time to stay calm.

After that, I was busy with my younger sister's wedding. Relatives from both sides had to meet each other because she was already quite pregnant. We originally planned to get married in July, but the master said that my younger sister was not suitable for marriage in July, so we had to hurry up and get married this month.

Zhang Xiaomei's mother-in-law rolled her eyes to the sky and thought that they could get married in August, or get married after giving birth. Anyway, she wouldn't be the one to be embarrassed when she wears a wedding dress with a big belly.

My daughter is not disciplined and got pregnant before marriage. She has embarrassed herself in front of relatives before she even gets married.

She wanted to say something, but seeing her husband staring at her hungrily, Zhang Xiaomei's mother-in-law swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue. Forget it, there would be plenty of opportunities to vent her anger in the future anyway, so there was no need to rush.

When Old Zhang saw that the old woman in that family did not cause any trouble, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

So at the end of June, Zhang Xiaomei got married amid the sound of firecrackers. After a busy period, the Zhang family could finally take a breath.

The day after the wedding, Teng called again. When Lao Zhang saw the caller ID, he thought of an elementary school classmate who had attended the wedding yesterday.

He also knew Fuji and lent him some money, but the amount was not large, only 100,000.

The loan was made in early June, but Mr. Fuji returned the money in late June and paid an extra 10,000 yuan in interest.

It was less than a month and he had earned an extra 10,000 yuan. The classmate was a little embarrassed to accept it, but Teng said that he was grateful to the classmate for helping him when he needed money, and that brotherhood cannot be measured by a mere 10,000 yuan.

When the classmate met Lao Zhang at the wedding, he told him about this matter. Lao Zhang regretted it so much.

He even felt resentful towards Wei Mian in his heart. If she hadn't said that it would never come back, he would have lent his 300,000 yuan to classmate Teng. Based on the interest rate of 10,000 yuan for every 100,000 yuan, he would have received at least 30,000 yuan for the 300,000 yuan!

There is no such interest anywhere else, but now all the good things of getting rich have nothing to do with me!

Seeing that classmate Teng called again, he picked up the phone without hesitation. He originally planned to lend the other party only 300,000 yuan so that he would have some money left, but now he planned to add a little more.
