Knowing that his mother wanted to buy some "company" stocks, Sanwa first went to his eldest and second eldest brothers.
Sanwa doesn't shy away from asking his older brother for money.
The two children, Da Wa and Er Wa, were called over and were curious about what was going on. When they heard that their younger brother was borrowing money, they looked at each other in bewilderment.
They weren't unwilling to lend it; they were just too surprised and astonished.
The whole family knows that the third child has low material desires.
Their parents have always given them a lot of pocket money. Now that the third child is in college, his mother must be giving him a considerable amount of living expenses, in addition to the New Year's money from previous years.
Logically speaking, Sanwa should have plenty of savings, so why does he suddenly need to borrow money from them?
"Third Brother, tell me, what do you need the money for?" the eldest brother asked directly.
"Yeah, you didn't get into trouble and owe someone money, did you?" Erwa glared.
"What are you thinking about?" Sanwa resisted the urge to roll his eyes at his second brother and explained, "Didn't Mom want to buy some stocks in foreign companies? I admire Mom's judgment, so I also plan to buy some. I don't have enough capital of my own, so I wanted to borrow some more from you guys."
Normally, the younger generation wouldn't interfere in adults' affairs, but now that they want to buy stocks, the eldest and second children just listen without taking it to heart.
Firstly, they lack knowledge in this area, and secondly, it's their mother's own money, which she can do whatever she wants with, so how can her sons control her?
Now, the younger brother not only has to take out all his savings, but also borrow money to buy so-called stocks with his mother, which makes the two brothers a little worried.
“Third child, buying stocks is almost like gambling. It’s one thing for Mom to buy some, and even if she loses money, we can afford it. But what about you? You’re still a student and don’t have your own income. Don’t do something so risky,” the eldest child said earnestly.
“Yeah, yeah, what if you lose it all? It’s not that I’m unwilling to lend you money, but you’d better not get involved in this kind of thing,” Erwa chimed in.
Sanwa couldn't possibly tell them that he knew his mother's so-called "secret," could he?
Helpless, he could only use all his wisdom to persuade his two older brothers.
But in the end, it only left the two of them with a skeptical attitude towards the matter.
Fortunately, there's Xiaoduo who knows a lot about the stock market. Having spent a few years in the US, Xiaoduo is familiar with it, though she wasn't interested in it before and had never been involved in the field.
But because of her mother's words, she learned from her fiancé that Zhou Yunting's family not only held shares in some companies in the United States, but he himself also made some investments on a regular basis.
With a deeper understanding, although she also knew that the stock market was risky, she was more rational in her attitude than her older and younger children.
Zhou Yunting took the matter entrusted to him by his future mother-in-law very seriously, and in just one day, he gathered information about many companies.
It contained some company names that Zhao Qinglan had mentioned, but some of them could not be found. For those that could not be found, Zhao Qinglan had laid the groundwork from the beginning by saying that she might have misremembered.
With so many companies in the US, Zhou Yunting wouldn't know the situation of each one unless he specifically investigated.
But after conducting this investigation, he discovered that some of the companies his mother-in-law mentioned, even if they were still small in scale, had great potential for the future if examined closely.
So when he spoke to Xiaoduo on the phone again, he told her that he would fax back a list of information about those companies and praised his future mother-in-law's investment acumen.
Xiaoduo was naturally happy that her mother was recognized as capable by her fiancé.
When they talked about this topic, they didn't hide it from their family. Only then did the eldest and second children realize that the stock market wasn't as scary as they had imagined.
Seeing that his two older brothers were softening their stance, the third brother pressed on and finally managed to borrow the money from them.
Compared to the second child, the eldest child has much more money.
He didn't hide the fact that he wanted to lend money to his younger brother from his wife. Ji Rou saw that her brother-in-law, Sanwa, wasn't a lazy good-for-nothing. Since he was doing the same thing as his mother-in-law when he asked for money, and her husband had already agreed, she didn't say anything.
I don't have any opinions, but I am rather curious.
Knowing that Sanwa had borrowed money from his two older brothers, Xiaoduo even came to ask him about it.
Why didn't you just ask me for it?
"Sister, you should focus on your own company. I have enough."
If it weren't for the fact that she needed her money to develop the company, Xiaoduo would have been tempted to invest as well.
As for the money Sanwa borrowed from his two older brothers, he had already decided that if he earned money with his mother, he would repay it double.
As a soldier, my older brother can't do anything to earn extra money through investments; his income is just his salary.
As for the second brother, he hasn't been working long and doesn't have much income yet. He also knows that the second brother wants to wait until he has made something of himself before marrying Sister Yu Xiang.
Maybe he can help his second brother increase his secret stash of money ahead of time.
Zhao Qinglan and Li Huai, as parents, had no idea what their children did in private.
Fearing that their mother would object if she found out, Sanwa had already made arrangements with his older sister Xiaoduo, asking her future brother-in-law Zhou Yunting in the US to help him with the stock purchases.
Xiaoduo didn't lend her brother money, but she could still help him with this favor.
As for Zhou Yunting, knowing that his future brother-in-law was going to invest in stocks with his future mother-in-law, he was also tempted to invest as well.
So, after Zhao Qinglan received the list compiled by the employees in Hong Kong, and compared it with the list that Zhou Yunting had faxed over, marked with circles and dots, she finalized the list of companies from which she wanted to buy stocks.
She's too wary of her family when it comes to these things at home.
Once she finished, the prepared Sanwa secretly made a copy and handed it over to her sister along with the funds she had prepared.
Before the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhao Qinglan's family was quite lively every day.
People in the family quarters all praised Xiao Jin'er for being adorable.
However, there are still some people who seem to be doing it for your own good, but their words are nice but make people uncomfortable. For example, they say that the one-child policy is a pity for the eldest daughter, Ji Rou, because she can't have another son and there is no male heir to carry on the family line.
Regardless of what expressions Da Wa and Ji Rou had, Zhao Qinglan retorted first.
“We don’t have a throne to inherit, so boys and girls are the same. Aren’t girls also part of our family’s blood? We don’t follow that old idea of favoring boys over girls anymore.”
These words made the other person feel awkward.
But Ji Rou, Xiao Duo, and Yu Xiang felt very happy when they heard this.
After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the eldest child's family left first.
What Zhao Qinglan and Li Huai miss most now is not the adults, but their granddaughter Jin'er.
The two even went to the train station to see them off.
Seeing how much his parents cherished their niece, Sanwa nudged his older brother.
"Brother, you'd better step up your game."
"Go to hell," Erwa retorted, elbowing his younger brother.
After Da Wa and his family left, Er Wa and Yu Xiang also left quickly.
As in most years, Zhao Qinglan took Xiaoduo and Sanwa, who were still at home, to the provincial capital to visit their maternal grandmother and Grandpa Dou.
