“Indeed, Song Shiyu has become the person in charge, so the company must be quite large. I guess she’ll have a place to eat in her next life. I wonder if your eldest sister got involved,” Zhang Tao reminded her.
Feng Chun thought to herself, "My older sister probably can't participate, right?"
"Judging from your older sister's reaction, she must think it's a good thing. If she can invite us, it's hard to say what other relatives and friends might think, especially older people. With such high interest rates, it's easy to be tempted." Zhang Tao and his friends are educated and knowledgeable. After so many years outside, they can see through the true nature of things at a glance. Others, especially the elderly, cannot.
"Then I'll quickly tell my mom to come to my house," Fengchun said anxiously.
Zhang Tao shared the same idea and drove to the new house.
The Li family has many elderly members who go to bed early, so Fengchun called her second son first and asked him to open the door for her.
"Why are you back? Are you staying at home tonight?" The second son looked at the family of three, somewhat bewildered. How did they get kicked out by his in-laws?
"Second brother, something's wrong. I'll go wake up Mom and Dad." Feng Chun went to the bedroom and woke up Li Mancang and Wu Zhiqi.
"What's wrong? Is your eldest sister causing trouble again?" Wu Zhiqi knew that Feng Chun had gone to see Feng Lan, so calling them up now must mean it was about Feng Lan.
“Mom and Dad, here’s what happened…” Zhang Tao recounted what Song Shiyu had told him.
Li Mancang's mouth gaped open. "Such high interest rates, nobody believes that?"
The Li family found it unbelievable—an interest rate close to one cent? They wouldn't even dare to print money like that.
Feng Chun: "We're just worried that our relatives might be fooled by Song Shiyu. We're telling you this because they're all family and friends. If they get scammed, how can we not care? Song Shiyu is a department head, so he must have gotten a lot of investment money."
"That damn thing, if he causes trouble, our eldest sister is a local, won't they all come looking for us?" Chunni said in a panic.
"Mom and Dad, you should call all our relatives right away. It's best if my eldest sister hasn't contacted them yet. If she has, tell them not to believe it. If they do, and they get scammed, our family definitely won't help," the second son said seriously.
Wu Zhiqi and Li Mancang knew what was important, so they told Li Mantun, Liu Cuihua, and Lao San to come down and quickly contact their relatives, both distant and close, as well as people from the village.
The second brother called Guo Changping and asked for the phone number of Fenglan's former boss. Fenglan had worked there the longest, so it was inevitable that he would try to take advantage of his former colleague.
Li Mancang was so angry he almost had a heart attack. His face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Except for his second son Xingyuan, who didn't take any money, Xinghu, Xingping, and Xingsong all gave money to Song Shiyu. Xingping took the most, 100,000 yuan, Xinghu took 20,000 yuan, and Xingsong took 50,000 yuan.
This daughter-in-law, who used to be so calculating about even losing a single hair at home, was surprisingly generous this time.
Song Shiyu and Feng Lan went to the resettlement housing several times and hired a large bus to take the villagers to the company several times. Many villagers invested money.
Liu Cuihua's vision blurred. "A bunch of idiots! How could I have given birth to such idiots? Such a big thing, and they kept it all from us! This Song Shiyu is no good; he got his position as some kind of leader by relying on people from our village. That Wen Dazai deserves to die a horrible death, that maggot-infested dog!"
Liu Cuihua was so angry that her heart ached. Those wretched children only knew how to plunder the little things in her hands, while this guy was so generous.
Wu Zhiqi hung up the phone, rubbing her forehead. She didn't dare go to her parents' home, Fenglan, because several former neighbors had tried to persuade her otherwise.
The second brother contacted Fenglan's former boss. Fenglan did try to find her former colleagues, but they hadn't seen each other for many years, and they didn't trust her, so no one voted for her.
