When He Wenlin's family returned home, her eldest aunt, second aunt, and youngest aunt all came.
He Wenlin and her brother greeted everyone one by one to wish them a Happy New Year.
"Oh, the big boss is back." Second Aunt said sarcastically, "People who have made a lot of money are different. Look at this outfit, tsk tsk."
None of her family paid any attention to her.
"Linlin, you're amazing!" Hu Meiling, He Wenlin's older cousin who works as a manager at the Dongguan factory, said with a smile when she saw He Wenlin. "Come on, tell me about your struggles."
"Sister, how can I compare to you?"
I only benefited from being reborn, but this older cousin is a girl from the countryside with a vocational school diploma. In her previous life, she earned tens of millions of yuan in assets through her own abilities!
She's the one who's truly capable!
"Sis, have you ever thought about starting your own business? With your abilities, wouldn't it be great to be your own boss?" He Wenlin said.
The older cousin is eleven or twelve years older than He Wenlin. When they were little, she and her brother played with He's father, so they were actually more familiar with each other.
“Meiling, your sister is right. There’s no future in working for others. You’re so capable, you can totally do it yourself!” He’s father said. “There’s no future in working for others.”
"I've had the same idea, but I haven't decided yet," Hu Meiling said. "Uncle, how's your business?"
"Business is alright, but no matter how much we earn now, we're just working for the bank. We took out loans to buy cars, houses, and open factories, and we owe the banks and credit unions hundreds of thousands of yuan."
“That’s how it is in business; nobody doesn’t owe money to the bank,” Hu Meiling said. “But banks are definitely a good thing.”
Hu Meiling, being a manager in a big city, had more experience, so when she heard He's father say that the debt was several hundred thousand yuan, she wasn't as worried as the others.
Because she knew that banks and credit unions don't just lend money to anyone; they definitely assess a borrower's repayment ability before issuing a loan.
The fact that she was able to borrow several hundred thousand yuan suggests that her uncle's business must be doing well.
"Boss, you're doing so well now, lend me some money to fix my house," the second aunt said, her attitude exactly the same as that of the eldest aunt, Xu Aihua.
Does everyone have a self-righteous old man like that in their family?
Mr. and Mrs. He were also very unhappy. Suddenly, they felt that they were doing well, but they also had a lot of troubles.
Mr. He said, “Building a house is a good thing. We’ll lend you two thousand. Today, Aizhen’s older sister also borrowed money to build a house, and we agreed to lend her two thousand as well.”
The implication is that we treat everyone equally.
"Two thousand?" Auntie's face changed drastically. She said angrily, "Now that you're rich, your own sister borrows money and you only give her two thousand? How can you be so shameless?"
Mr. He: "Don't think it's too little. With so many brothers, sisters, relatives and friends, if anyone borrows money to build a house in the future, it will be two thousand. We really don't have any more. I'm also having a hard time right now."
"Your eldest sister and younger sister are well-off; one has a new house, and the other was allocated a house by her work unit. Neither of them needs to buy a house. I think you're deliberately targeting me!"
I have the same thought process as my aunt, that's for sure!!
"As we just mentioned, we have to pay car and mortgage payments every month, and we also owe the credit union and bank hundreds of thousands of yuan. We're also building a new house in Shaoxing, so we really don't have any money to borrow."
Second Aunt: "Who knows if you really owe money?"
"You mean I'm lying?" He's father got angry. There was Xu Aihua first, and now there's He Anli. Is this never going to end?
Xu Aihua is his sister-in-law. Even though Mr. He was unhappy, he still had to give Mrs. He some face, so he would restrain his words a little.
But this is his second sister now, and she can throw tantrums and say whatever she wants!
"If that's how you think, there's nothing I can do. If you think it's too little, go borrow from someone else. I'm not lending it to you!" Mr. He said impatiently.
My second aunt was so angry that she jumped up and was about to leave.
He Anli's aunt, He Anyun, pulled her aside: "Second sister, sit down, let's talk this out."
"Second brother, don't get so agitated," said Grandma He. "Brothers and sisters do need to help each other, but they should do so within their means. Let's talk things out. No one asks their siblings for help with this attitude."
"What kind of attitude do I need? Do you expect me to kneel down and beg him? Mom, you're biased, you've been biased since we were little!"
He Anli's words infuriated Old Mrs. He.
"Not even a phone call during holidays, isn't it right for Mom to be biased?" Mr. He said angrily. "What kind of daughter would you treat like this?"
"Alright, I've said my piece. It's the New Year, so let's keep quiet."
"Let's talk things out and not hurt each other's feelings."
"Let's talk about something happy during the New Year."
The aunts, uncles, and other relatives quickly tried to reconcile them.
“He’s just stingy. He’s never liked me, his second sister, since we were little. He’s only close to his eldest sister and younger sister,” He Anli said, crying as she accused him.
Father He: "Yes! Your eldest and third sisters are better than you, are you satisfied now?"
“Listen to this, listen to this…”
He Wenlin picked up a bowl from the table and slammed it down: "Shut up, all of you!"
The scene fell silent instantly, with dozens of pairs of eyes fixed on He Wenlin.
He Wenlin looked at her second aunt with a serious expression: "All the businesses in the family belong to me, He Wenlin. My parents are just employees. They don't have any money at all. Second aunt, if you want to borrow money, you've come to the wrong person!"
Whether they were stunned or simply didn't know, everyone stared blankly at He Wenlin.
He Wenlin continued, "The fast food restaurant and the food factory are both under my name. Even if I earn tens or hundreds of thousands, that's my ability!"
From now on, if anyone wants to borrow money, unless they're dying, it'll be two thousand yuan for anything—buying or building a house! Take it or leave it! I'm not running a charity! With so many relatives coming to borrow money, how am I supposed to live?
