Settling down in Hongcheng.
When An Ning told her that An Dalin was looking for her, An Le was a little surprised, because she had been quite busy lately, and apart from An Ning, few people in her family had bothered her, unless they came to bring her some food or something.
As for An Dalin, he rarely bothered her anymore. Since the last time he saw An Mantun and his daughter off, this was the first time he had specifically called her over like this.
"Why are you in such a hurry to go up to the reception room? Is there something important you want to say?" Anle blinked, put down the amusement park plan in her hand, carefully stuffed it into the desk drawer, and even locked it.
Anning only glanced at Anle's behavior, already used to it, and didn't take it seriously at all. Of course, she would lock up important things properly.
Her valuable jewelry was also locked away and stored separately.
However, her younger sister values things differently from others. She doesn't seem to care much about locking up valuable jewelry; instead, she always locks up stacks of documents and the like.
The text was full of things she couldn't understand; sometimes, even glancing at it felt like reading gibberish.
Only her little sister's head could hold all this nonsense.
However, this is enough to show that her younger sister is different from others. Otherwise, how could her younger sister make so much money?
"Hey, who knows what it is? Anyway, judging from Grandpa's expression, it seems like something important has happened. I've never seen Grandpa so serious and cautious, excited and seemingly incredulous. I don't know what happened. He's been absent-minded since early this morning, sitting in the living room for half a day before suddenly saying that he had something important to announce and that everyone in the family needed to be there." An Ning paused here, then smiled and winked at An Le.
"Little sister, every time I see you produce a document like the one just now, it means you're about to get busy and discuss a big business deal."
"How much silver can this business earn? I've seen Third Brother ask you for money quite a few times, and you've given it to him readily. Does this mean that every time you close a big deal, you can earn a lot of silver, maybe several thousand taels?"
Several thousand taels of silver was already a great fortune for Anning, because her third brother would always ask for one hundred or two hundred taels at a time when he came here asking for money.
This seemed to give Anning the illusion that her younger sister held countless riches in her hands.
Although several thousand taels of silver was a large sum for her, it seemed like a piece of cake for her younger sister. She always felt that her younger sister was a money tree, a treasure trove, with endless wealth, as if she could never spend it all. Her estimate of several thousand taels of silver was still a conservative one.
Because not only did she give her third brother a hundred or two hundred taels of silver, but she also gave her mother a lot of money, and all the expenses of the whole family were taken from her younger sister.
My younger sister is always very considerate when it comes to spending money, always worried that everyone might not have enough. I often see her buying gifts for my grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins.
All these odds and ends add up to at least a thousand taels of silver.
Anle tilted her head and raised an eyebrow at Anning. This was the first time Anning had asked her such a question. In the past, everyone at home would tacitly agree to this and never bring it up. But now that Anning had asked her this, she was a little surprised. Could it be that she was short of money?
"Fourth Sister, are you short of money?"
An Ning rolled her eyes and said irritably, "No, that's not true. I can't even spend all the pocket money you give me. I'm saving it all up. I've already saved a lot of money."
I'm just curious how much money you made on this deal. Every time Third Brother asks you for money, you always give it to him so readily.
I think you've spoiled my third brother rotten. You can't let him get away with that bad habit anymore. He's spending money more than those rich kids these days.
He spends his days taking money out to eat, drink, and have fun with people, neglecting his duties.
Anle grinned and said, "Fourth Sister, a person has to be able to endure poverty and enjoy wealth. People who have experienced the ups and downs of life are much more mature than ordinary people." As Anle spoke, she tidied up some scattered draft plans on the table.
"Hmm? Is that so? I have a feeling that Third Brother has turned into a spoiled brat and a spendthrift."
Anle gave another mysterious smile.
"This kind of pleasure is only temporary. The time is not yet right. After some time, let him fall from his current paradise to hell and let him taste the bitterness."
Upon hearing this, An Ning's eyes lit up, her entire face seemed to glow, and she appeared somewhat excited, with a hint of schadenfreude in her eyes.
"Little sister, are you going to cut off his allowance?"
“He needs to learn to be self-reliant. He’s my brother, after all. How can he be less successful than me?”
Having tasted the sweetness of wealth and know what it feels like to have money, if he were to lose everything again, he would naturally try every means to make money.
"Make money? Is that even possible? Does Third Brother have the brains to make money? I think he's only good at spending money."
Anle smiled.
"A person can't just spend money; they also need to know how to earn it. So we need to discover Third Brother's ability to make money, and eventually he'll have to take on his own responsibilities."
The money I poured into him wasn't for nothing; he needed to learn a lesson, gain some experience, and taste the bitterness of life's ups and downs.
"I don't quite understand what you mean. I always feel like you do things in a whimsical way, little sister." An Ning scratched her head, looking confused. She still didn't quite understand what An Le meant by those words, or what kind of life philosophy they were talking about.
"Only those who are knowledgeable and well-informed know the way to get rich and where to acquire wealth ethically."
If you confine someone to a small space, like a frog at the bottom of a well, the only path you can guide them to find is within that well, which is such a limited scope.
He needs to know how vast, free, and boundless the sky outside is before he can grow wings to soar through it.
In order to soar freely and gracefully across this vast sky, he too will need to sprout wings to fly freely. Just you wait and see.
