Chapter 38 Chapter 38 Lin Ma decided to work hard to make money

"Don't worry, I won't keep speculating in stocks. I have sold all my stocks. I am working hard." Lin Anran thought of the orchids and aloe vera in the garden. Yes, she is a down-to-earth flower farmer.

She herself knows best whether she can trade stocks or not. Her ability to make money from stock trading depends entirely on her ability to know the future. She happens to have a good memory. Of course, she also has to thank the great contributor - her great-grandfather who made a fortune from stock trading in her previous life.

When Mother Lin heard this, she was immediately surprised and asked, "Did you really sell it?"

"Sold, all of them." Lin Anran repeated.

"Good, good, that's great!" Mother Lin smiled and said three good words in a row.

Lin Anran didn't forget the other purpose of her call. She spoke without stopping, "I bought an apartment in Shenzhen with a down payment and a bank loan of over 100,000 yuan. I have to pay the mortgage every month, and my monthly salary can cover the mortgage."

This is also true, but this is the old version. Now her new version does not need to be told to the original owner's family for the time being.

In her previous life, because her grandparents left all the inheritance to her, her relationship with her biological father was very strained. Her biological mother ignored her for more than ten years, but suddenly wanted to be close to her. Both her biological parents had a good income every year, but they still wanted to keep the things in her hands. So Lin Anran paid special attention to money. She didn't want to cause herself unnecessary trouble.

Mother Lin's mind buzzed, and she asked in a trembling voice, "How much? Anran, how much do you owe the bank?"

Lin Anran closed his eyes and then opened them again, saying calmly, "About 120,000 yuan. I can pay off the mortgage myself, so my family doesn't have to worry about me not being able to pay it back."

"So many!" exclaimed Mother Lin.

Lin Anran remained silent, waiting for Lin's mother to accept this matter.

Mother Lin was silent for a long time, and then she spoke again in a very hoarse voice: "An Ran, in fact, not only did someone at home come to inquire about whether you made money from stock trading, but there were also people who wanted to borrow money..."

Lin Anran thought to herself, as expected. Fortunately, she had been prepared. Everyone in Lin Village knew she made money by speculating in the stock market. With tens of thousands of yuan in her pocket, there would definitely be people coming to her door crying poor and asking for money. This kind of thing was too common. Some people would borrow money and then never pay it back. Then the borrower would become a scoundrel. How could they expect them to pay it back? Not every family was like the original owner's. They were terrified and guilty about owing money, anxious to make money, and only wanted to pay off their debts as soon as possible.

If the people in Lin Village saw her as someone who owed the bank hundreds of thousands of dollars, then it wouldn't be that others would chase her to borrow money, but that others would be afraid of her borrowing money. She would definitely be someone that others would avoid.

Lin Anran couldn't say she didn't make any money from stock trading. Otherwise, what would she say if she made more than her salary? She couldn't let herself go to the extreme of not spending money. She didn't want those gossipers to spread rumors that she was using crooked methods to make money. The Lin family still had to live in Lin Village. She didn't care, but she couldn't let it affect the Lin family.

"Those who want to borrow money from me will be disappointed." Lin Anran raised the corners of his mouth.

Mother Lin hadn't finished her words yet: "...There are also matchmakers who come to your house to introduce you to someone who is getting married twice, saying that you can't...it doesn't matter, they are both getting married twice, and they already have children..."

What can’t I do?

You can’t have children, right?

Lin Anran rolled her eyes to the sky. She was going to disappoint those people again. She had previously taken time to go to the hospital for a full physical examination, and the final results showed that she was very healthy and infertile?

It's all [beep——] words.

"No, I'm not going to marry. If I'm going to find someone to marry in the future, I'll find someone who's been married for the first time. I'm not getting married to be a free babysitter for a man and his family," Lin Anran paused, then explained, "I've learned my lesson after being wronged once."

After hearing this, all the words stuck in her throat, and she just called out Lin Anran's name: "Anran..."

Lin Anran said, "I'll go back and transfer my household registration soon. I have a house and a job in Shenzhen, so I won't starve to death. Don't worry about me. I have a plan. I can pay off the money I owe the bank myself."

Mother Lin was silent and sighed: "You were very opinionated before you got married, but after you got married... now..."

This time it was Lin Anran's turn to be silent. The original owner looked gentle before she got married, but she was indeed very opinionated and a bit stubborn. After being moved by her ex-husband, she insisted on getting married before reaching the legal age of marriage, despite the dissuasion of Lin's mother and father. Lin's mother and father said that the original owner's ex-husband was not a good match, and they were right.

"Anran, the family debt has been paid off. You owe the bank... 120,000 yuan," Lin's mother's voice trembled noticeably. "That's too much."

Their family had never owed so much money, and it was owed to the bank. Mother Lin couldn't even imagine it. One hundred and twenty thousand! In order to pay off the ten thousand yuan owed to others, their family worked hard for several years. Now it was paid off, and the burden on their shoulders was finally lifted. Now Lin Anran told her that she had borrowed one hundred and twenty thousand from the bank. Mother Lin was very anxious and wanted to fly to Lin Anran's side immediately.

"An Ran, how dare you borrow so much money from the bank, you...Alas!" If she hadn't been sure that the person calling her was her daughter, Mother Lin wouldn't have believed it was her daughter. For Mother Lin, borrowing hundreds of thousands of yuan from the bank was unimaginable.

Lin Anran was very happy to learn that the Lin family had paid off their debts.

Lin Anran knew that the original owner would not be able to borrow money from the bank to buy a house. Her behavior could be said to be very un-original, but she had been away from the Lin family for more than nine months, which was enough time for her to make changes. Some people would change their temperament overnight due to stimulation, but her nine months was already very slow. Shenzhen was a special zone at the forefront of reform, and there were new changes every day. She was influenced by the big city, so all her changes were reasonable.

People change a lot at every stage, just like the original owner was going to marry her ex-husband. The Lin family did not expect the original owner to be so determined. Was she going to marry directly?

"I just got a mortgage from the bank to buy a house for myself. I bought it because I knew I could pay off the mortgage." Lin Anran said calmly.

Mother Lin paused and asked hesitantly, "Can't you return the house you bought? And pay back the money you owe to the bank as well?"

Lin Anran: "No, I have to pay compensation if I breach the contract. I need to have my own house in Shenzhen."

"How about we transfer the money we earn to you later so we can pay off the bank debt as soon as possible?" Mother Lin suggested an idea. Although Mother Lin was nervous, she had been setting up a stall to make money during this period. Mother Lin believed that as long as she worked hard to make money, she would be able to pay off the debt owed by Lin Anran.

Lin Anran was a little touched, but she refused without hesitation: "This is my own house, and I will pay the mortgage myself. I don't need your money. Don't worry, I can really pay it off. In addition to the two jobs I'm doing now, I can also find time to work a third job. Shenzhen is a big and prosperous market. As long as you work hard, you can make money."

She knew that this phone call would make Lin's mother and the others unable to sleep or eat. Nowadays, few families take out loans from banks to buy a house, and many people have never even heard of the word mortgage. But Lin Anran still called for her own sake. She loves herself the most and cares about her own feelings more. She will not compromise.

"By the way, if someone asks me about the money I made from stock trading, just tell me directly, so that they won't come to your house every day to inquire about it and make you uneasy." Lin Anran reminded Lin's mother.

After repeatedly asking Lin Anran about repaying the mortgage, and after confirming many times that Lin Anran could pay off the mortgage on his own, Lin's mother could only suppress her worries.

Suddenly, Mother Lin thought that if the family had money, she could take it out when Anran needed it in the future. So she decided to sew more hair ties when she returned home and sell them to make more money!

Lin Anran didn't know that her phone call had produced a miraculous effect, inspiring her mother to work hard and make a lot of money.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Anran added a trip back to Lin Village to her schedule. She needed to transfer her household registration, so she would have to leave sooner or later. It was better to do it sooner rather than later.

But her aloe vera had just been planted, so she couldn't leave now. She had to wait for the aloe vera to take root and grow in its new home. The departure time could be postponed. Because Zhou Yunxue was abducted by human traffickers on the train, Lin Anran was very wary of taking the train alone. She didn't have the option of taking the train alone in her mind. She must find someone to accompany her back, and it would be more appropriate to ask a bodyguard to accompany her back.

After making a plan, Lin Anran returned to her study to review and do her homework. She decided that when she got admitted to night school, she would choose a botany major. She had incredible cheats, a good IQ, and money, which made her just right for deepening her research in the field of botany.

Once her household registration is moved to Shenzhen, she won’t have to go back to her original place of household registration to take the adult education examination.

In the evening, Aunt Bao came to cook at the appointed working time. Lin Anran asked Aunt Bao to make her two dishes and a soup. As long as the food was delicious, she would be easy to feed.

After filling her stomach, Lin Anran went to the garden to work, just enough time to digest the food, and then continued to study on her own until nine o'clock. She didn't have to go to the English class at the night university because her English teacher said that she could graduate from her course, and then go there to take the exam and get a certificate of completion. Lin Anran was happy that she didn't have to go to the night university every night to attend English classes.

She is now mainly studying and reviewing high school knowledge. She has strong self-study ability. With the help of Yu Jing, a repeater, and teachers Xu and Zhou from the rental bookstore, as well as Tang Rui, all the problems she encounters in her studies can be easily solved. High school materials and test papers are easier to obtain - they can be bought at the night school, and teachers Xu and Zhou are willing to find them for her. Yu Jing shared all her test papers with her, and now there is Mingyuan Property. Just make a phone call to Hua Xianglan, and housekeeper Hua will definitely collect all the materials and test papers and deliver them to her door as quickly as possible.

So living in Mingyuan Villa is not just about living here, but more importantly, you can immediately enjoy better services as long as you pay.

Two days after moving into her new home, Lin Anran completely adapted to her freer and more relaxed life. She was in control of her own time. After not having to work, she had a lot more free time every day. She arranged to go to a driving school to learn how to drive. She had a driver's license in her previous life, and in this life she was behind the steering wheel again. Her learning progress was so rapid that even the instructor was surprised.

Lin Anran smiled and said, "I already knew the driving steps. Once I got in the driver's seat, I just followed them. It was pretty simple. If there's anything I'm not doing right, please let me know, Coach."

Coach: "...Ms. Lin is extremely talented, hahahaha."

Lin Anran also laughed: "I do have a talent for studying." Yeah, she got to pretend, so cool, hehe.

coach:"……"

In short, Lin Anran doesn’t need to spend much time practicing driving every day. After practicing for a while, he can take the driver’s license test.

Lin Anran wanted to ask a tailor to help her make custom clothes. She only knew Yu Jing and her family, but Lin Anran crossed out the Yu family members at the first opportunity. The Yu family's business was doing well and they didn't need her order. She and Yu Jing were friends, so forget it. She just called Butler Hua and asked him to recommend a good tailor to her. Now the custom clothes were done.

After finishing her own business, Lin Anran called Cheng Dacai and made an appointment for a home visit. She wanted to have dinner with him, and the Cheng family was at home at that time.

Lin Anran put three red envelopes for Cheng Dacai's three children, a big red envelope for Cheng Dacai, and a bag of fruit, and walked to the Cheng family villa. Compared with the big villa that Lu Honghui gave her, the Cheng family villa did look a little smaller, but the single-family villas in Mingyuan were actually not too small.

"Boss Lin, welcome," Cheng Dacai said with a big smile, introducing, "This is my wife Zeng Feng, and my three children: the eldest, the second, and the youngest daughter."

Zeng Feng and Cheng Dacai look like a couple. You can tell they have a good relationship as soon as you see them. The three children of the Cheng family look energetic and lively. When they see Lin Anran, their eyes light up and they keep their eyes glued to Lin Anran.

"Boss Lin is so handsome. Look at my three children. They are so handsome that they can't even blink." Zeng Feng first greeted Lin Anran.

Lin Anran smiled and handed over the fruit: "Boss Zeng, your three children are obviously very smart and clever."

Zeng Feng paused when she heard Lin Anran call her "Boss Zeng". She looked at Lin Anran again with a much more intimate look in her eyes. The two began to praise each other, and for a while, the atmosphere was particularly cheerful.

After a while, Lin Anran affectionately called Zeng Feng "Sister Zeng". Cheng Dacai was still the same, the boss after all.

Lin Anran had a very good dinner at Cheng's house. She always had a good appetite and was happy as long as the food was delicious. Seeing her satisfied with the food, Cheng Dacai and Zeng Feng were also satisfied, and both the host and the guests had a great time.

Lin Anran successfully gave out her three small red envelopes and one big red envelope. The three children who received the red envelopes were very happy. They looked at Lin Anran with shining eyes and called her "beautiful sister" sweetly.

Lin Anran: Two words: satisfied! Kids have sharp eyes, haha~

Cheng Dacai knew Lin Anran was determined, so he had no choice but to accept the thick red envelope. He took the initiative and said, "Boss Lin, I've been asking people for information about Hong Kong these past few days, but Miss Lu Honghui has kept it a secret. Not a single piece of information about Clivia has leaked out from Hong Kong, not even the paparazzi there broke the news."

"When is the birthday of Ship King Lu?" Lin Anran remembered that he really didn't know the birthday of Ship King Lu, so he asked.

Cheng Dacai was not surprised that Lin Anran didn't know, so he said directly: "It's the last day of this month."

Lin Anran: "That's still a few days."

"Come, let's chat while drinking tea." Zeng Feng made tea and asked Lin Anran and Cheng Dacai to drink it.

Lin Anran took it, took a sip, and her eyes lit up immediately: "Sister Zeng, the tea you brew is delicious! The tea fragrance is long-lasting, and I feel like my mouth is full of tea fragrance now." She lowered her head and took another sip.

"Hahaha, it tastes good, right? My wife learned the skill of making tea from a master for more than five years. She has never stopped since the day she started learning. No matter how busy she is at work, she will make a pot of tea, saying that she wants to keep her hand feeling." Cheng Dacai looked proud.

Lin Anran was stunned: "Sister Zeng is so persevering. With your skills, you can open a teahouse." No wonder the tea tastes so good, it's amazing.

Zeng Feng waved her hand and said, "I've gotten used to it over the years. I feel uncomfortable if I don't make a pot of tea a day. Besides, I originally learned to make tea for business. Some bosses love to drink tea, and chatting with them over tea is more comfortable for me than competing with them in drinking."

Lin Anran said that he had learned something. It turned out that people who could achieve great things in their careers had persisted in practicing their skills.

Cheng Dacai got back to the point: "Boss Lin, didn't I tell you before that many people want to buy orchids from you? Now that people don't know that your Clivias are sold, they still keep asking me about them. Especially since more and more people are asking about them, and the number of people who want to buy orchids is increasing day by day."

"Boss Cheng, are these new people because of Boss Liu?" Lin Anran remembered Cheng Dacai saying that Boss Liu liked to show off his Phalaenopsis to others.

Cheng Dacai smiled awkwardly and said honestly, "Boss Lin is smart and guessed it right right away. Boss Liu, for example, likes to invite people to view his collection. He once bought a painting at an auction and held an exhibition at his home, sending out invitations."

Therefore, the number of people who want to buy orchids is increasing day by day, all because Boss Liu likes to show off.

Lin Anran thought, this is really a sweet worry: "Unfortunately, I can't sell the orchid seedlings I'm growing now. Boss Cheng, please help me refuse."

Cheng Dacai wants and needs to expand his network of contacts, and he is very happy to receive these inquiries. Lin Anran will not think that this is a bother to him again, but Lin Anran does not need to expand her network for the time being, and she has no orchids to sell. When the Clivia bought by Lu Honghui makes a stunning appearance at Lu Chuanwang’s birthday party, does she still need to worry about no one buying her orchids?

"An Ran, you only sold two orchids. If you stop selling them, you might become more sought after by wealthy people because things are valuable because they are rare," Zeng Feng said.

Lin Anran thought about the orchids he raised being bought by a bunch of wealthy people waving their money, and suddenly he was happy: "I hope so."

Cheng Dacai: "Boss Lin, are you still planning to buy orchids? I have a lot of orchid seedlings in my shop. You can also buy orchids that are two or three years old and take them home to raise. If you take good care of them, they will bloom soon."

"Let's wait until this period is over. I'm quite busy." Lin Anran planned to return to Lin Village soon to get a bunch of orchids to raise. Who would help her take care of the orchids after she left? She didn't trust anyone else to take care of them except herself.

Winter is actually not a good season for transplanting orchids, and Lin Anran does not plan to keep the orchids in the greenhouse garden all the time. Flowers that have been kept in the greenhouse are more fragile when they are moved to the new environment outside. She is very happy to move the potted plants around so that her plants can be directly exposed to the outside sunlight. Her Cymbidium and Mo Orchid are still growing well in their original pots. Every day when the sun is just right, she will move them out to bask in the sun to meet the needs of the orchids. The little orchid seedlings will grow well if they are in a good mood.

Lin Anran has always felt that the Phalaenopsis and Clivia she sold grew so beautifully. In fact, it was also because she had always kept the orchids in a happy mood. Just as a person’s body will be in good health when his mood is good, the same principle applies to raising orchids.

Cheng Dacai didn't ask any more questions. He hoped that Lin Anran would come to his flower stall to buy more orchids, but he also knew that once other flower stalls in the flower market had better orchid pots, Lin Anran would definitely buy them without hesitation. Cheng Dacai could only find a way to import the best, newest and rarest orchids to keep Lin Anran, the orchid grower.

Not only did Lin Anran get some new information from Cheng Dacai, Zeng Feng also mentioned the recent stock market to her. The hottest time of the stock market has passed, and stock prices have fallen. Some people sold their stocks in a panic, causing the stock prices to fall even more. Those who knew how to stop in time made money this time, but there were definitely people who lost money, especially those investors who bought stocks when the stock price was high. These people lost the most.

Lin Anran was not surprised at all. There are always people who make money and people who lose money in the stock market. She read the newspaper every day and kept up with current affairs. Then she learned that Zeng Feng ran a clothing factory. From a small workshop at the beginning to a factory with more than a hundred workers now, the business is getting bigger and bigger.

Zeng Feng said: "The competition in the clothing industry is fierce. If one factory launches a hit product today, another factory will immediately follow suit. We in this industry need to be well-informed. Fortunately, I have Dacai to help me."

Cheng Dacai laughed again.

"Sister Zeng, Boss Cheng, you and your wife have joined forces, it's a powerful combination." Lin Anran admired them. Zeng Feng and Cheng Dacai came to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange with nothing, but they were also very lucky because Boss Liu provided them with start-up capital when they were in the most difficult time and helped them build a way forward.

Lin Anran is happy to keep in touch with this couple. Judging from the current contacts, this couple is reliable, with many connections and many ways.

Sunday happened to be the winter solstice, and Lin Anran called to arrange a meeting with the twins. It had rained a bit last night, and today there was a cold wind, and the temperature had suddenly dropped several degrees. Lin Anran put on her down jacket, hugged the clothes with both hands, and walked to the door of the villa. She couldn't help stamping her feet. She looked at the person standing by the car door and said, "Butler Hua, why are you driving today?"

"Ms. Lin, have a good winter solstice," Hua Xianglan opened the back door and invited Lin Anran in, explaining, "The driver who drove you before is on holiday today, and I happen to be on duty."

"Happy Winter Solstice!" Lin Anran breathed a sigh of relief as she got into the car. She raised her hand and rubbed her face, saying with a smile, "Thank you for troubling you today, Butler Hua."

Hua Xianglan: "It's no trouble. I'm happy to serve you, Ms. Lin."

Lin Anran and the twins had agreed to meet at a famous hotel. When she got out of the car, she immediately saw Lin Anli and Lin Anhua hiding in the corner from the cold wind. Lin Anhua, the older brother, was even standing in front of Lin Anli. She had agreed with Hua Xianglan on the time and place to pick her up. She immediately got out of the car, carrying two large bags, and quickly walked over to the twins: "Why don't you go inside to avoid the cold?"

The twins were stunned for a long time before they realized that the person talking to them was their sister Lin Anran. Every time they met, their sister changed a lot, especially this time. They opened their mouths and took several gulps of cold air.

The two of them were pushed into the hotel by Lin Anran in a daze. The warmth in the hotel immediately woke them up. When they saw the beautiful and luxurious interior of the hotel, they became even more restrained and couldn't even walk.

Seeing their uncomfortable faces, Lin Anran realized that she seemed to have been inconsiderate again. However, today was the Winter Solstice, and she wanted to eat at this restaurant. According to a reliable source from Butler Hua, the restaurant's glutinous rice balls had diverse and delicious fillings, and if they couldn't finish them, they could take them away.

Now that they were here, Lin Anran didn't want to leave. She held onto someone in each hand and followed the waiter forward, saying, "It's okay, just follow me. I've booked a small private room. There will only be three of us in there. You can do whatever you want and say whatever you want."

Lin Anli and Lin Anhua were like puppets in Lin Anran's hands. They didn't react until they entered the private room and the waiter left to serve the food.

"Sister!" Lin Anli and Lin Anhua stared at Lin Anran at the same time, and even spoke at the same time. They had the tacit understanding of twins.

Lin Anran waved his hand and said, "Let me tell you first, you guys will accompany me to finish this meal, and then I will accompany you wherever you want to go. Is that okay?"

Lin Anli stared at Lin Anran: "Sister, isn't it expensive to eat a meal here?"

"It's just over a hundred, not expensive. The dishes I ordered don't use any expensive ingredients. They are very ordinary, but delicious." Lin Anran said.

But the twins were still confused when they heard the number was over a hundred.

Lin Anran returned the ID cards to the two men with a smile and stuffed two large bags into their hands. "Today is the Winter Solstice. I'm the oldest of the three of us, so listen to me. Here are the down jackets I bought for you. They've been washed, and you can change into them now."

She looked at the twins' cotton-padded jackets with inconspicuous patches, and she knew that they would not be willing to buy down jackets for themselves. The two cotton-padded jackets had a long history in the Lin family, especially the cotton inside the jackets, which had an even longer history and had clumped together, and did not have much warmth-keeping function. In order to pay off their debts, the Lin family had been frugal for many years, and thriftiness was ingrained in their bones.

Lin Anran still felt it was not exciting enough, so she repeated to the twins what she had said to Lin Ma. As soon as she finished, the waiter came in to serve the dishes and blocked the twins' mouths. She immediately looked over expectantly, asking them to try how delicious the glutinous rice balls in this restaurant were.

The twins' brains completely shut down: "..."

The two of them became puppets who could only eat as directed by Lin Anran.

As a result, Lin Anran didn't have the chance to pack up. Lin Anli and Lin Anhua turned their confusion into appetite and their appetites were greatly increased, especially Lin Anhua, who kept eating. The glutinous rice balls were especially loved by the three of them and were eaten up cleanly without leaving a single one.

"Sister, I have something to tell you too." Lin Anli wiped her mouth and said suddenly.

Lin Anran: "You say."

Lin Anli: "A rich woman fell in love with Anhua and proposed to him."

Lin Anran: “???”

Good boy, now I am confused.
