Wu Huaiqing was quite surprised to receive a call from Li Xingguo.
"Second Uncle, I've run into some trouble with my stock trading lately, and I'd like to borrow some money from you," Li Xingguo said cautiously.
Wu Huaiqing raised an eyebrow. "Borrow money from me?"
Li Xingguo: "Yes, Second Uncle, I mortgaged the house to invest in stocks, and now I can't pay it back. The bank is going to seize the house. Could you lend me some money to tide me over? I'll pay you back as soon as I have the funds."
"Your family shouldn't be short of money, right? Why do you need to borrow from me?" His older sister is much richer than him. She has logistics commissions, so many properties, including many large and small houses that were relocated due to demolition. The prices of the large houses have risen inexplicably. The hair salon is also a golden goose. The Li family is now an invisible tycoon.
“I’m not young anymore. I don’t want my parents to worry about my own affairs. I can handle it myself,” Li Xingguo said, having found his excuse.
Wu Huaiqing chuckled. He didn't believe that at all. He knew Li Xingguo's character perfectly well. "Xingguo, let me put it this way: I only recognized you as my nephew because of your mother. The little bit of kinship between us is maintained by the sibling relationship between your mother and me. You understand?"
Li Xingguo... "Second Uncle, I know, I really don't want my mother to worry."
“You’re only using a small amount of money, it’s not enough to make your mother worry. You can go back and talk about it without worry. Okay, I’m busy now, that’s all for now.” Wu Huaiqing hung up the phone and then called his sister-in-law Zhang Huizhen.
My older brother isn't the type to lower himself like that.
When Zhang Huizhen received the call, she hurriedly switched her ringing phone to airplane mode while Wu Huaili wasn't looking.
"Who called?" Wu Huaili asked as he was tidying up winter vegetables outside.
"It's Huaiqing, he said he'd come over for dinner tonight," Zhang Huizhen lied, deleting Li Xingguo's missed call.
"Oh, then I'll go buy some groceries," Wu Huaili said, patting the dirt off his clothes and taking a basket to buy groceries.
Zhang Huizhen breathed a sigh of relief. The old man just loved to meddle in other people's business, regardless of whether people appreciated it or not; he hadn't changed over the years.
After Wu Huaiqing hung up on Li Xingguo, he called Wu Huaili instead. Even if his uncle knew that he had fallen out with his family, he would still help him and persuade his mother.
The phone rang and was immediately hung up; subsequent calls went unanswered.
Li Xingguo was so angry he wanted to slam the phone down, but he couldn't bring himself to do it; he didn't have the money to replace it now.
After thinking for a long time, he called Li Fengchun again. Fengchun was doing very well now. She had a good job, and her husband Zhang Tao's foreign trade company was also doing well.
Feng Chun is now a junior manager and is living a smooth and successful life.
Seeing Li Xingguo's call, he hesitated for a moment before answering, "Big Brother?"
Li Xingguo: "Little sister, is it convenient for us to talk?"
Feng Chun: "Is it convenient? What's the matter?"
"I need to borrow some money from you. I've lost money in the stock market, and I took out a mortgage on my house, but I can't pay it back right now. Could you lend me some to tide me over for a while?"
Feng Chun... never expected that Li Xingguo would borrow money from her.
