The secretary and the county magistrate exchanged glances and bowed to Zhou Xiang together. "Thank you, Miss Zhou, for your generosity. We thank you on behalf of the people of the entire county and the government."
How could Zhou Xiang not know that they didn't write the interest on the IOU? That's what he thought!
She accepted the bows from the secretary and the county magistrate with a magnanimous attitude and said, "Let me be frank. The principal I lost from lending gold is probably doubled, and the interest is not worth mentioning.
But that doesn't mean I'm generous. The principal of 100 million yuan must be returned, otherwise it will become a bad debt due to time or job transfer."
The secretary quickly shook his head. "Absolutely not. We will hold a plenary meeting within the government regarding this matter and make it public. We absolutely cannot proceed in secret."
After sending the two big bosses away, Zhou's mother asked worriedly, "Can you really take it back?"
Zhou Xiang shook his head. "I don't know. I will pay it back, of course. But will I pay it back completely? Maybe in ten, maybe twenty years."
"Then you still want to borrow it?"
"How can I not lend it to you? Everyone knows I have money, and I got it by blackmail."
"Why don't they borrow from the Kong family? Why don't they borrow from those who are really rich?"
"Because I'm a local with shallow roots, and my current reputation is the most important thing, and the county is also undergoing construction, if I don't support it, I'll really be criticized."
Mother Zhou sighed, "Now that I have the medal, I have more things bundled with it."
"There's no way around it. Gains and losses are two sides of the same coin."
In fact, Zhou Xiang just thought of it as paying taxes herself. The tax bureau has not come to collect taxes from her until now, simply because she had "shared the spoils" with her old leaders. If they collect taxes from her, shouldn't they also collect taxes from her old leaders?
The investment she made in the county was not enough to pay the tax on the 8,200 gold bars, and it seemed that a value-added tax should also be added.
As for the private transactions with the Kong family later, she would not be foolish enough to pay taxes. Wouldn't that tell others that she still has a lot?
If he had not shared the 8,200 gold bars with his old leader, he would have gotten into a lot of trouble. If he revealed that he still had more than 20,000 gold bars, he would have been in big trouble.
Nearly one-third of the money has been invested in the county and the town, and those who hate the rich will feel better.
The person who bought the furniture didn't come back until three days later.
Having not seen each other for three days, Ling Ran rushed upstairs in a hurry. The first thing he did was not to check on the children, but to hug his wife and ask her if she missed him.
Zhou wanted to push him away and roll his eyes at him again, "No time."
Everyone in the room couldn't help laughing.
Dong Yunrong pushed Haohao into her son's arms and said, "Your son misses you."
Ling Ran stuffed his son back to his grandmother with disdain, "I don't care about him, and he definitely doesn't miss me either."
Dong Yunrong hugged her grandson tightly and nodded in agreement: "You still have some self-awareness. We all miss you."
"Wife." Ling Ran still didn't give up.
Zhou Xiang rolled his eyes helplessly. Does this guy really think that he is the young wife who married into the family?
"Think about it, go take a shower quickly. You're coming back covered in germs, hugging everything. Isn't that dirty?"
Ling Ran was satisfied. Even though his wife was just being perfunctory, he was very happy to be acknowledged in front of so many people.
The happy people went to take a bath. Aunt Wang teased Dong Yunrong, "Yunrong! You really raised this son in vain."
Dong Yunrong nodded seriously, "Of course I am. The only two benefits are marrying a good wife and giving birth to three babies. I don't ask for anything else."
"Of course not. Having a good daughter-in-law is better than having a good son. And with these three treasures, what else do you want? You should be content."
"Yes, yes, I am content."
The two people's praises made Zhou Xiang feel a little embarrassed.
If she is like her mother before, working hard every day to earn money that is still not enough to cover expenses, why not give it a try?
There will be conflicts in raising one child, let alone three.
There are many people doing the work at home and many people taking care of the children. If there are still conflicts, it means that they don’t want to live a normal life.
The man who had just come out of the bath was in the mood to tease the three babies. The three babies stared at him for a long time with their eyes open before turning to look at their grandmother and smiling at her.
Their grandma is so happy! "Haha, my dears, grandma loves you so much."
Aunt Wang said, "Ling Ran, you've been punished."
Ling Ran turned around and expressed his grievance to his wife, feeling hurt. "Wife."
Zhou Xiang chuckled, "It's what you deserve! Aunt Wang is right, you are being punished. You didn't care about them just now, and now they don't care about you either.
"Will you be more careful with what you say next time? Think about your own childhood, and then think about how our father felt. The feeling you have now is exactly how our father felt."
Ling Ran paused. He always felt that his father disliked him, so he often went against his father. If the three treasures went against him in the future, would his heart be able to bear it?
"I, yes, I was wrong. I should change."
"Of course, parents are their children's first teachers, so you have to be careful with what you say and do. Especially your relationship with our dad in the future will continue to influence the child."
Ling Ran nodded heavily. "I understand, Mom. Please tell Dad when you get home. I plan to change and he should stop scolding me. I'm afraid I won't be able to change in a short time and will start arguing with him again."
Dong Yunrong didn't expect that her daughter-in-law would take the opportunity to educate her son. This father and son have been targeting each other for more than 20 years. She was very troubled. She also wanted to say something about her son just now, but her daughter-in-law got there first.
"Okay! I'll remind your dad. You all have to work hard and not let the three kids learn bad habits."
"OK!"
Aunt Wang gave Zhou Xiang a thumbs-up. What a great guy! Not only had she subdued the Demon King of the town, she had also educated and corrected his behavior.
Zhou wanted to pretend he didn't see it. There would always be frictions between family members. As for Ling Ran, this stubborn guy, it would be strange if he could seriously change if he didn't use his grievances to educate him.
When Dong Yunrong returned home, she naturally praised her daughter-in-law again and again. Ling Quan smiled and said that he would pay attention to how he gets along with his son in the future.
Old Master Ling also said that his granddaughter-in-law was sensible and that the Ling family was blessed.
After dinner, Jiang Weihua told his niece that they had not bought all the furniture yet, and Ling Ran insisted on coming back after sweeping through all the furniture stores in the city.
Zhou Xiang rolled his eyes at the people around him, "Can you please do your job properly? Go look after the school construction site! Leave the furniture to Senior Jiang. You know nothing about these things anyway."
Ling Ran nodded repeatedly. If he worked at the construction site, he could go home for lunch and sleep at night, so he could still bear it.
Now, he is becoming more and more dependent on his wife. He wants to go home the day after he leaves. He gets anxious when he can't see his wife for a long time. He doesn't want to be too far away from home.
"Ask Lu Zhaochong to accompany my uncle."
Lu Zhaochong, who was talking to Zhou Nian, subconsciously wanted to refute Ling Ran when he heard what he said, but suddenly remembered that he was now Uncle Jiang's bodyguard.
Alas~ People without money cannot be willful, just accompany them!
The next day, Lu Zhaochong accompanied Uncle Jiang and drove to the province.
Ling Ran went to the school construction site to supervise the progress.
