Chen Hong rolled her eyes. "So what if the central government is supporting them? Will they just give them free grants?"
Does the government have this right? Don't forget, we live in a market economy, an era of self-financing.
The bank provided them with a huge loan, which was already a tremendous support.
However, banks are also businesses, and they need to make profits. If a developer is insolvent, the bank will definitely try to recover the funds.
Think about it, once the money for the house goes into the bank's pocket, how can you individual investors compete with the bank? You might even end up mortgaging the land of the property to the bank.
I refuse to believe that if it really comes to that, you'll still be able to go to the bank to get the house back.
Wang Guoqing was also dumbfounded, his mind a complete mess. He simply couldn't imagine what would happen to his family if the more than 300,000 yuan he had raised from all over the place went down the drain and he couldn't get the house back.
Let's not even talk about him; even his parents would be frantic if they knew.
This risk is too great; he, an outsider, can't afford it. After thinking about it, he discussed it with Wang Hongwei.
“Brother Hongwei, more than 300,000 yuan is no small amount. Even two generations of us in the countryside haven’t saved up that much money. I think we should be cautious.”
Seeing that Wang Guoqing had changed his mind, Wang Hongwei felt uneasy. He silently finished a cigarette, still unable to let go of the property development.
He also knew that Chen Hong had been clever since childhood and knew a lot of people from all walks of life, so she might be able to find out information that he couldn't access.
Wang Hongwei stubbed out his cigarette forcefully and had an idea. "How about this? I'll first find someone to inquire about the developer's current business situation, and then ask my acquaintances at the bank about their financial situation."
Let's find out more before deciding whether to buy or not!
Chen Hong: "Then you'd better hurry up. Remember, find out secretly, don't let everyone know!"
"Okay, I'll head back now. You go for your run with the kids! Guoqing, are you coming with me or staying a little longer?"
Wang Hongwei stood up, ready to go home. This matter was too big; he wanted to go back and ask his father for advice.
Seeing that it was getting late, Wang Guoqing got up and followed Wang Hongwei outside. Chen Hong was divorced, so how could his brother, who was from the same village but had a different surname, be left alone?
“I’ll go with you, and I can hitch a ride with you. Can you give me a ride on your electric scooter?”
He then said to Chen Hong, "Chen Hong, we're going back now. I'll wait for your news about buying the house!"
Chen Hong saw them to the door, saying, "Okay, you won't lose money if you buy with me. Just ride slowly on the road!"
After seeing her two older brothers off, Chen Hong locked the door and took Yu Yang downstairs for a night run. After the run, she watched him practice military boxing in the small square for a while.
Zhou Yi spent a short time at home this time and only taught Yu Yang six moves.
Yu Yang is very diligent. Whenever he has free time, he practices by himself. Now, when he punches, he does it very precisely and has quite a bit of momentum.
The elderly men and women exercising and digesting their food in the small square, as well as the young wives with children, all showed their support and cheered loudly.
Several three- or four-year-old children also had serious little faces and were gesturing along with him.
It occasionally makes "hey, ha, hey, ha" sounds as accompaniment, and its little expressions are absolutely adorable!
After finishing his boxing practice, Yu Yang blushed and shyly ran into his mother's arms. The child was embarrassed!
Chen Hong led Yu Yang to greet the neighbors, then went home to shower and go to bed.
The next day was Friday. Chen Hong had just returned home after dropping off her child and was about to close the door and go into her space to work when the old village chief called right on time.
"Chen Hong, it's time to harvest your pears. Come back this weekend!"
Two days ago, there were huge waves at sea, and two more villagers from our village were injured or killed. One died and the other was slightly injured. The boat also sank. The village is organizing a fundraising campaign. Would you like to participate?
Chen Hong: "I definitely have to participate. When does the donation start? I'll be back on Saturday noon, but I don't know if I'll be able to make it?"
The village chief was quite pleased on the other end of the phone, knowing that even if Chen Hong left Yujia Village, he wouldn't sit idly by; this child was a kind-hearted person.
“You have to come back on Saturday. We’ll be waiting for you. The people and the boat that had the accident today have just been found. His family is holding a funeral.”
We'll discuss how much to donate when you get back. The villagers are interested, but we haven't decided on the amount yet! His elderly relative is sick, and his two children are still young…”
Chen Hong listened quietly to the village chief's words, but she also felt uneasy. As a fellow fisherman, she knew all too well the hardship and danger of fishing.
The village hadn't had a sea accident in two years, but unexpectedly, even though it wasn't a typhoon, the huge waves still took a life.
Current marine weather forecasts are still not very accurate, and it's quite normal for fishing operations to encounter dangers when caught off guard.
A life was lost, and a family was shattered!
It's incredibly difficult for a woman to raise two children alone!
"Uncle, could you find out how much the largest donation in our village is? We can't stand out too much in front of everyone."
Besides, this isn't a simple matter. If someone donates too much money to orphans and widows, they might not be able to keep their wives.
Our village committee should come up with some kind of charter, such as setting up a relief fund account.
Villagers would deposit whatever they had in spare cash to pay for the children's tuition each year, and provide a monthly living allowance to those who were really struggling financially.
A steady, consistent approach would likely be more effective in helping extremely impoverished families.
Upon hearing Chen Hong's suggestion, the village chief's eyes lit up. "Your idea is excellent! Lu Chuandong's family is gentle, and there are few members of the Lu family, but his maternal family are all wolves."
If the donation to her family is too large, she won't be able to keep it; if it's too small, it's practically useless.
Sigh, there are quite a few people in our rural areas who exploit the families of the deceased. Once the money gets into their hands, it gets embezzled, and the people who donate can only get angry but can't stop it.
