But life cannot always be comfortable. A few days later, Xu Manman received a call from Haishi.
My second cousin's wife, Lin Juan, said in a panic on the phone, "What should I do? Manman, the stock... the stock has dropped a lot. I'm losing money every day. Can you... can you save me?"
Xu Manman frowned on the other end of the phone. Hadn't he already agreed with his second cousin Chen Feng? Why did his wife still run into him?
"Second cousin, the stock market has its ups and downs. If you're not in a hurry to use the money, just put it aside. Maybe it will go back up someday."
This was the honest answer. As far as she knew, the stocks currently listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange would not be at risk of delisting in the short term. If held for a long time, there would always be profits. However, whether they could keep up with the rate of inflation was another matter.
"Oh, no, Manman. I promised my parents and my sister-in-law that I would give you double the profit every month, otherwise I will have to pay it back myself. This... your second cousin used all his money to buy a house, and my salary is so little, how can I afford to train him?"
Xu Manman was stunned. Wow! Double the profits! Even the most powerful hedge funds on Wall Street wouldn't dare promise such a thing. How could her second cousin, who had never been exposed to the stock market, be so bold as to say it out loud?
"I really can't help you. Either you sell now and reduce your losses, or you can only wait."
Lin Juan thought she was being humble and said, "Manman, can't you help your sister-in-law for a moment? We are all family. If I pay the money, it will not be good for your brother, right?"
"Sorry, even if I were to come, there are only these two options."
"you……"
"I have something else to do, so I'll hang up first." Xu Manman no longer cared about what Lin Juan said on the other end and hung up the phone neatly.
Then he picked up the receiver and called Chen Feng's unit.
After hearing his cousin talk about her wife's heroic deeds, Chen Feng was completely stunned.
Double the profit!!
He had worked hard for several months before earning a profit of more than ten percent. Who gave her the courage?
"From what my sister-in-law said, if the money doesn't meet the requirements by the due date, she'll have to pay for it out of her own pocket. She might even have signed a guarantee or agreement. So, second cousin, you should make plans early. After all, the two houses you bought are marital property. Even if we take a step back, she owns half..."
"I know, Manman, let me think about it again."
To be honest, Chen Feng's heart is in a mess now. He fell in love with his wife at first sight and couldn't wait to bring her home. As a husband who is several years older than her, he feels that he should tolerate and love her.
When Lin Juan first came into the family, she behaved quite well. Apart from her love of subsidizing her parents' home, she didn't have any major problems.
Although their family is not as wealthy as the Xu family, it is not bad compared to ordinary families. Chen Feng thinks these things are harmless.
But since giving birth to her son, Lin Juan seemed to have changed all of a sudden. Not only did she spend money lavishly to support her parents' family, she also abandoned her son to her mother-in-law and even set her sights on the family's house and her parents' funeral funds.
Lin Juan was also able to read Chen Feng's expressions. When she saw that Chen Feng's attitude was not right, she immediately humbled herself and apologized. After all, Chen Feng still had feelings for her, so he chose to forgive her.
It was precisely because of his indulgence that Lin Juan became more aggressive, challenging his bottom line time and time again, and eroding the love in his heart bit by bit.
"Well, if you need anything, I can introduce you to a lawyer."
This is the worst-case scenario. As Chen Feng's cousin, Xu Manman naturally favors him.
Xu Manman hadn't received any news from Chen Feng for several days, and didn't know what the situation was over there. Just as she was thinking of calling back to ask, she received a call from her aunt Ye Rong.
"Manman, are you busy?"
"I don't have much to do right now. I've finished my work. Aunt, are you and uncle in good health?"
"All is well."
After they chatted for a while, Ye Rong explained the purpose of this call.
"Well, Manman, your second cousin and your sister-in-law have been arguing behind closed doors every day these past few days. I vaguely heard it was about stock speculation. Your aunt doesn't understand this either, so I wanted to ask if you knew anything about it."
After Chen Feng graduated, his company allocated him a house. In order to take care of her grandson and not want the children to be separated, Ye Rong lived in her son's house.
Xu Manman didn't admit to knowing. "Since there's such a big fight, I guess the market situation there isn't very good. But I'm not sure what's going on."
