Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1404 Lazy Wife 21
The two of them had thought about hiring a cook. After all, hiring someone is much cheaper than eating out in a restaurant. But neither Linlang nor Chen Lei liked having outsiders in the house, so they gave up.

Besides, the two of them don't eat out every day. Occasionally, when Linlang is interested, she will cook for herself. They will only go to a restaurant when they are not interested in cooking. The money spent is actually not that much, and they can fully afford it with their current living standard.

But the Chen family got so much money from the demolition, isn't there anyone who is coveting it?
How can it be!

Not to mention others, even the second wife was envious. Seeing the first and third wives earning more than 10,000 yuan, they were so jealous that they were unrecognizable.

Although their family does manual work with the help of Linlang, and Chen Erge works as a laborer outside and earns as much as those who go to big cities to work, but based on their current income level, they will have to live frugally for several years to save more than 10,000 yuan.

How could they not be jealous when they thought about how they had to live frugally for several years to save so much money?

But at least they still had Linlang to help them do handicrafts, and they earned a lot of money, which they saved, so they could feel a little calmer.

Like Chen's relatives and friends, they don't even have the money for manual labor, and no one in their family goes to work in big cities. Only a few people go out to work, and most people are still working hard at home. How much money can they make? Most people don't have much money, less than what the second room can save in a year. For them, they can't even save a thousand yuan a year. Some families still owe money. After all, prices are soaring now, but country people can't make money. If they want to buy things, they will naturally owe money.

In this case, each member of the Chen family earned more than 10,000 yuan, which was a huge fortune that they had saved for more than ten years. It would be strange if they did not covet it.

Although the Chen family did not tell others how much money they had made, there is no wall that is impenetrable. People who know the inside story will tell some people, and these people will tell others, so soon everyone knows that the Chen family has made a lot of money.

So naturally, all kinds of people came to the door. Some came to borrow money, some had bad intentions and wanted to drag the Chen family into gambling or even to play on the street (many of these activities were illegal), and it was hard to guard against them.

Linlang's family was better off because after the demolition, they moved to the city and stayed away from those people. However, the first wife, Chen's father and mother, and even the second wife who did not receive any demolition compensation were all targeted by people who wanted to lure them into spending all their money.

The first wife and Chen's parents had money, so it was normal for someone to want to cheat them out of their money. So why did someone in the second wife, who had no compensation for demolition, also want to tempt them to spend money? It was because Chen's parents had money, and they thought that if Chen's second brother and his wife lost money and couldn't fill the hole, they could ask Chen's parents to take out money to compensate them.

Fortunately, Linlang had reminded them before the demolition that once they became rich, there would definitely be people with bad intentions who would stick to them like leeches. Some of them would be jealous of their wealth and want to harm them; some would simply want to make money from the Chen family, so everyone should be careful not to let others cheat them out of their money.

So now when these things really happen, everyone naturally becomes more vigilant, and basically no one succeeds.

The main reason was that this was not the information age as it was later, when scammers could easily communicate their scams through the Internet. People in this era had less communication with people from other places, so the scams were not very sophisticated. As long as they took a little precaution, the Chen family would not have fallen for it.

Just because the Chen family didn’t get scammed doesn’t mean other families won’t get scammed. Not long after, when Linlang and his wife went back to their hometown to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with Chen’s parents, they heard a piece of news that a family nearby that was demolished like the Chen family had a kid coaxed into gambling and lost all his money. He also owed a lot of debts and his wife was about to divorce him. The Chen family was terrified when they heard this and became more alert to someone trying to steal their money. The Chen family was so alert that those who wanted to steal the Chen family’s money naturally didn’t succeed.

Although Linlang's family moved to the city, there was still someone eyeing the money in their hands. This person was none other than her original family.

The original person also had brothers and sisters. Although her parents' family was not particularly patriarchal, otherwise they would not have given her sister 200 yuan as a dowry. But people are always selfish. Knowing that Linlang's family had got the money, her brothers came to borrow money, saying that they wanted to build a house. Her sister's family said that they did not want to live in the house allocated by the unit, saying that the house allocated by the unit was too small and it was too crowded for the family to live in. They wanted to buy a house in the town, so they also came to borrow money.

They may not be short of money, but they are jealous of Linlang's family's wealth and want to make some money from it, so they say they are borrowing, but they don't know when they will pay it back in the future. They may even play the victim and pretend to be poor and won't pay it back. Linlang also told the Chen family about this kind of little calculation at the beginning, asking them to be cautious when borrowing money, so as not to not be able to get it back in the future, or to have to wait five or ten years to get it back. Is one thousand yuan then the same as one thousand yuan now?
When people think about the soaring prices in recent years, they naturally won't be stupid enough to lend others a few thousand yuan, lest when they pay it back a few years later, it will not be worth the price they lent it to.

At this moment, the original body's family came to borrow money. This matter was easy to handle. Linlang pushed all the money to Chen Lei, saying that their family's money was with Chen Lei, and asked them to ask Chen Lei for it.

This was something Linlang and Chen Lei had discussed. If someone asked Chen Lei to borrow money, Chen Lei would push the problem onto Linlang. If someone asked Linlang to borrow money, Linlang would push the problem onto Chen Lei.

Because when you borrow money from someone, you must have a close relationship with that person and it will be difficult to refuse.

If it were someone else who wasn't as close, it would be easier to shirk responsibility.

For example, at this moment, the original body's family came to Linlang to borrow money. Linlang said that the power to manage the money in their family was in the hands of Chen Lei. Those people came to Chen Lei to borrow money, and sure enough, Chen Lei said that they came too late. His money was deposited in the bank for eight years with an interest rate of 18%. It was difficult to withdraw the money, so he could not lend it to them.

These people were too embarrassed to ask Chen Lei to take out the money to lend to them, so they could only give up in anger.

How could they not be angry when they thought about how Linlang's family had so much money and they couldn't get any advantage at all?
Of course, not only did Linlang’s family members come to borrow money, but Chen Lei’s relatives also came to borrow money.

There were too many relatives from Chen Lei's father's side, uncles, aunts, and relatives from his mother's side who came to borrow money.

Seeing these people coming to borrow money, Chen Lei spread his hands and said that all his income would be handed over to Linlang for management, and asked them to borrow from Linlang.

Then when they asked Linlang to borrow money, Linlang used the same tactics, saying that her family had used the money to buy a house and the rest was in the bank, so she had no money to borrow.
