Chapter 356 Zhang Baiyan's shock, foreign debt
Zhang Baiyan was instantly heartbroken and wailed, "Mom, are you still my real mom?"
In response, Zhang's mother snorted coldly.
After a while, Zhang's mother finished her work, glanced at Zhang Baiyan, and asked Zhang Wanwan, "Since your brother is here at noon, should we cook an extra dish?"
Zhang Wanwan's eyes flashed with thought, "Mom, how about we cook some seafood for lunch?"
"No, no, your brother doesn't have to eat so well. Just cook one more dish. You should know that this dish is not cheap. It will hurt me if you cook one more dish!" Zhang's mother said with concern.
Zhang Baiyan couldn't listen any more, and said with a fake smile: "Haha. Mom, am I getting in your way?"
Zhang's mother nodded seriously, "If you don't know how to talk, just keep your mouth shut, or I'll feel upset."
Zhang Baiyan: “.”
He was really upset, okay? He took the earliest bus just to see her and help her, but was treated as worthless. If he had known, he would have gone to the county town with his colleagues and relaxed.
Seeing Zhang Baiyan so depressed, Zhang Wanwan said with a smile: "Brother, Mom was just joking, don't take it seriously."
Zhang Baiyan curled his lips, "Why should I argue with her? By the way, it's May Day, you're about to graduate, right? When are you going back to school?"
Zhang Wanwan frowned upon hearing this. "It's a good idea for me to go back now, but the business here has just started, and I can't stop it, otherwise the customers I have accumulated before will be wasted. Mom can take care of herself now, so I'm not worried, but she can't read, which makes me sad."
Zhang Wanwan had been thinking about this problem for a long time, but it was inconvenient no matter what she did. Besides, she had to go to the station early in the morning to send the goods. Although Zhang's mother had recovered, she couldn't exert too much force all at once, otherwise she wouldn't be able to bear it. Zhang Baiyan had to go to work, and Zhang's father was also busy and didn't even have time to come over during the May Day holiday. She was extremely worried about leaving it to others.
Zhang Baiyan had been interested in Zhang Wanwan's business since he knew it was so profitable. Now, after hearing her say this, he immediately frowned and asked, "How long will it take you to go back to school?"
"You won't get your diploma until the end of June, which will take at least a month. If you go there now, you'll have to stay there for about two months." Zhang Wanwan shrugged. She still had to defend her thesis, take graduation photos, and coordinate projects with Tian Sen. She would be very busy once she went to Beijing. Such a long time was really a big problem.
Zhang Baiyan thought about it and said through gritted teeth, "If it doesn't work, I'll quit my job and come here to help. I'll find another job when you come back. Anyway, my salary is just for fun and can't be compared with yours."
"That won't do!" Zhang Wanwan refused without a second thought. "If that's the case, I'd rather let Dad come over to help for two months. He's an old hand, and it's okay if he doesn't take orders for two months. I can go back and hire him again when I come back. They'll still want him. You've worked so hard to increase your salary from over 2,000 to over 4,000. You just say you don't want it? Mom will definitely fire you!"
After that, Zhang Wanwan sighed, patted Zhang Boyan on the shoulder and advised earnestly: "Brother, I think you should not be in a hurry. Wait until I graduate and come back to have a look. If the agricultural products are successful, we will definitely have to expand the business later. If it is really stable, you can quit and come back to do something else."
Zhang Baiyan's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Okay! Then I'll listen to you, but this year, as long as you're stable, I'll go out and do something else on my own. Even if you don't need help, I'll go out. Before, it was because my mother was sick and asked for money everywhere, so I didn't dare to move at all. Even if I had any ideas, I could only think about it. Now that my mother is better, I won't have anything to worry about after I pay back the money I owe to my relatives."
Zhang Wanwan suddenly woke up when she heard about the debt. She asked in annoyance, "Do you know how much money Mom owed when she was sick? I always felt that I was neglecting something. It turned out to be this. No wonder I felt uneasy even though I made money."
Zhang Baiyan was a little speechless to Zhang Wanwan. He rolled his eyes at her and then said, "My eldest daughter, from mom's illness and surgery to the medication, it has cost at least 300,000 yuan. At that time, our family only had about 100,000 yuan in savings, and we had to pay for your tuition and living expenses, so we couldn't take out much. Over the years, dad has borrowed about 200,000 yuan from relatives and friends. After I started working, I made more than 4,000 yuan a month. Dad worked day and night and could earn about 8,000 yuan a month. He lived frugally and paid back about 5,000 yuan a month. So far, he has only paid back about 80,000 yuan. That day, after mom's checkup, you returned to the old house, and dad did the math with me.
It seems that there is still 137,000 yuan left to pay back. I feel very stressed, but Dad is very open-minded. He said that Mom is in good health now, so she won’t need to see a doctor or take medicine anymore. Plus, you won’t have to spend money now that you’ve graduated. We can save about 10,000 yuan a month, so it will be enough to pay it back in a year.”
Zhang Wanwan was stunned when she heard this. She did some calculations in her mind and frowned, "If this is the case, I'm afraid he will be worried if we bring him back now."
After all, Zhang's father can now earn more than 8,000 yuan a month, which is almost twice as much as Zhang Baiyan's salary. It is obviously impossible for him to give up more than 8,000 yuan and return to the countryside to help her. If the family has no foreign debt, it would be fine. If there is foreign debt, everyone will be watching. Once there is any disturbance, someone will definitely get angry. Zhang's father dare not take the risk.
Thinking of this, Zhang Wanwan sighed, sat down and discussed with Zhang Baiyan: "Brother, how about this, you come back to help me, and I'll split the profits with you"
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Zhang Baiyan, "No, no, no, I won't do such things as taking advantage of others. Besides, you are my biological sister, I can't take advantage of you! And to tell you the truth, I have wanted to resign for a long time, but there has been no suitable opportunity, and I dare not move because I have to pay off my debts. Now that you earn over ten thousand yuan a month, I have nothing to worry about. I will help you for a while. When your school affairs are settled and I can handle it here, I will think about starting a small business."
Seeing that Zhang Boyan was determined to resign and didn't want to take advantage of her, Zhang Wanwan said, "Okay, but I can't let you work for nothing. I'll still pay you the same salary as you are now. You need capital to start a business. I'll give some of the remaining profits to Dad every month so that he can use it to pay off the debt. We'll try to pay off the foreign debt this year."
Zhang Baiyan shook his head. "It's already halfway through the year. It's going to be difficult to pay it off. Unless you make an extra 10,000 or 20,000 yuan a month, then it's possible."
Zhang Baiyan was just joking, but he didn't expect it to actually come true later.
The brother and sister agreed on a rule, and Zhang Baiyan told his mother about his resignation that same day.
When Zhang's mother first heard about this, she was extremely anxious and tried to find ways to persuade Zhang Baiyan. Unexpectedly, she was persuaded by the brother and sister instead.
