The lunch was very sumptuous, but Yang Jing could see that Jiang Bin prepared such a sumptuous meal not for himself, but for his daughter.
The main dish for lunch was naturally stewed lamb chops. There were also six other dishes, all made by Jiang Bin himself. The taste was no worse than that made by the chef of a star hotel.
Jiang Linlin ate very quickly and was full in just over ten minutes. She then went to her room to rest.
"Children are having a harder and harder time now. I didn't really understand the academic pressure that middle school students are under before, but Linlin has been following me for the past seven or eight days, and now I understand that middle school students are having a hard time and are under tremendous pressure."
After a pause, Jiang Bin picked up a piece of lamb chop and continued while eating, "Linlin is in the second grade of junior high school now. Although she doesn't have to go to evening self-study, she has to do her homework at home until after 10 o'clock every day, and sometimes even until after 11 o'clock. She has to get up before 6 o'clock in the morning. At the end of the day, the child can only sleep for six or seven hours. The child is so sleepy that I, as a father, feel distressed when I see her."
Yang Jing shook his head and said, "Uncle Jiang, all kids are like this now. The teachers in school only care about grades. If your grades are not good, the teachers will naturally not like you. Most of the kids in junior high school are beginning to enter their rebellious teenage years and are very sensitive. Therefore, none of them want to be looked down upon by the teachers. They all study very hard, fearing that their teachers and classmates will look down on them."
"Yes, that's true. I also told Linlin to pay attention to the balance between work and rest, but the child didn't listen."
"So how is Linlin's study going now?"
"It's not bad. I can rank around 100th in my grade. With this result, it won't be a problem for me to continue studying in the Experimental Middle School Affiliated to the Normal University."
Yang Jing nodded, picked up his glass and clinked it with Jiang Bin before asking, "Uncle Jiang, we are not strangers anymore. I want to ask you something. What kind of job does my aunt do now?"
Hearing Yang Jing's question, Jiang Bin smiled bitterly, waved his hand and said, "Yangzi, don't worry about this. Linlin's mother is not as simple as you think. You can't control her affairs."
"Uncle Jiang, please tell me, what if I have a job suitable for her?"
Jiang Bin stared at Yang Jing for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly and said, "Linlin's mother was also a top student who graduated from the Business Administration Department of Renmin University. When I married her, my grandfather was still alive."
"Linlin's mother's family is from West City, but the family conditions are not very good. Her father died early, and it was her mother who raised the three sisters single-handedly, so Linlin's mother has been determined to live a good life since she was young."
"When we first got married, we lived a pretty good life. My father was still alive and could help us out, but then he passed away and we had a new child, so life became a little tight. Linlin's mother wanted to quit her job and start a business. I couldn't persuade her, so I agreed. But I didn't expect that she would lose all the 700,000 yuan she had scraped together in less than two years. I told her that it didn't matter if she lost the money, and we could pay it back slowly, but she still refused to give up and insisted on selling the house so that she could continue her business. I didn't agree at the time, and the conflict broke out..."
Yang Jing couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this. Even more than ten years ago, this house was worth tens of millions. As for now, you can't buy it without 70 million. This is a medium-sized courtyard house with an area of nearly 400 square meters.
The most important thing is that this house was left by Uncle Jiang’s grandfather, and he cannot sell it to do business no matter what!
Not to mention Jiang Bin, even Yang Jing would not agree to this.
If the son sells the father's house, he will be criticized by outsiders!
"In those years, in order to save money for Linlin's mother to start a business, I worked so hard to take on jobs that I was exhausted. Naturally, I had less time to take care of her and her daughter. But Linlin's mother was still not satisfied, so we quarreled and finally divorced. Alas... it was because I was incompetent as a husband and father."
As he spoke, Jiang Bin picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
"Later, I found out that Linlin's mother was fooled by someone and went to Beihai to do cross-selling. Is that something you can touch? It's just a scam. One share costs fifty or seventy thousand, and you buy eight or ten shares at a time. Who can afford that?"
As soon as these words came out, Yang Jing finally understood what was going on.
Can you touch the stuff of string selling? No! That stuff has cheated a large number of Chinese people, and many of them have lost their families. Jiang Bin's wife is obviously one of the victims.
"Is the aunt still doing that now?"
Jiang Bin shook his head and said, "No longer. After the divorce, she continued to work for more than a year, but ended up losing everything. I proposed to remarry her, but she was too proud to remarry me as a loser, so she refused. Now she is running a magnetic therapy water business, and her life is very tight."
"Does that mean Auntie has realized that what she did before was wrong?"
"Well, this is the most fortunate thing. She realized that what she was doing was wrong and has completely stopped doing it. The magnetic therapy water she is doing now can be considered a legitimate business, but the benefits are not very good. If it weren't for her brothers and sisters helping her, she would be... "
"Uncle Jiang, did my aunt study business management in college?"
"Yes, it's business management. Before she quit, she worked at Lenovo. It was a pretty good job, but she was fooled by those people and quit her job... People can make one or two mistakes in their life, but they must not make mistakes and not admit them, and continue to walk on the wrong path. This will ruin a person's life!"
