Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 151 Just right!

Sometimes Zhou Wang actually envies his mother's generation.

They may not have been materially well-off when they were young, but they are really not lonely when they grow up.

Six brothers and sisters!
Unlike their generation, most of them are only children. If they still can't find a suitable partner, when their parents pass away, they won't even have a decent spiritual support...

A large group of people returned to the main house. Looking at the bustling and laughing scene, it was still the familiar feeling of the past. However, this time Zhou Wang could no longer squat in the corner to warm himself by the fire and play with his mobile phone. He was directly pushed by his uncle to the middle of the sofa and sat next to his grandmother who looked a little confused.

Although Zhou Wang's grandmother is old, she is still in good spirits. She wanted to go out and join in the fun just now, but was stopped by her aunt...

So my grandmother and my aunt were the only two people present who didn’t know what was going on.

But the grandmother could also see the changes in her eldest grandson.

She doesn’t know what to wear or what hairstyle to use, and she can’t describe her temperament, but she just feels that... my eldest grandson is really energetic!
"Grandma, you missed me so much!"

Zhou Wang sat down next to his grandmother, hugged her like he did when he was a child, and laughed.

This scene surprised Zhou Wang's parents, but they also unconsciously showed some relief in their eyes.

When Zhou Wang grew up, like other boys, he almost never expressed his emotions so directly. He was usually shy when facing the approach of his elders...

Only at this moment did they truly feel that their son had truly matured.

Zhou Wang could only say that everyone wants to be rich. If you can be as "young and successful" as me, the so-called change of mentality will only take a moment...

"Okay, okay, just come back!"

Grandma smiled and grabbed Zhou Wang's hand, "You've graduated, right? Have you found a job?"

"Mom, your grandson is successful now. He came back in a Mercedes-Benz!"

Before Zhou Wang could reply, his uncle Zhao Guilin had already started talking and said something with emotion.

"Zhou Wang, how did you make your fortune?"

My aunt-in-law asked first.

All the relatives in the room stared at Zhou Wang, no matter if it was the second or third uncle who left first, or the younger aunt or older uncle who left later, they only knew that the eldest sister's family had become prosperous, and Zhou Wang had become rich...

But what exactly is going on? Actually, everyone is still confused at this moment. They are so curious...

"As you know, I struggled a lot in the first few years of college. Didn't I borrow a few thousand yuan from you, my uncle? Well, my online investment failed, but it came back to life later. I made some money and invested in some industries. Then it became like this."

When facing relatives, he naturally cannot use the same rhetoric as he does with his parents. Zhou Wang had already discussed this with his parents before coming here.

Why not mention the lottery?
Because Zhou Wang didn't want to give his relatives the illusion that his money came too easily...

Although my mother's brothers and sisters have a good relationship, except for the occasional snobbish aunt, there are basically no annoying relatives like in TV dramas, but when it is possible to avoid testing people's hearts, try to avoid it...

"What investment? How much money did you make?"

My uncle Zhao Guishan couldn't help but speak.

My younger uncle made some money from his fruit business and built a house. My eldest uncle had been living a rather poor life with ups and downs over the years. When he heard that Zhou Wang might have a way to make money, he was naturally tempted.

"It's no longer possible now. After the official control, most online investments are scams. Elders, please don't get involved. I don't even dare to invest money anymore."

Zhou Wang quickly put an end to his uncle's fantasy, and then said with a smile: "Much of my current assets are not in cash, but they add up to tens of millions..."

It’s not that Zhou Wang is deliberately hiding anything.

Among the six children of my grandmother, only Zhou Wang's mother Zhao Guihua has truly established herself in the city. The other elders have all lived in the countryside for a long time, with no worries about food and accommodation, but except for my third uncle who is a small contractor and my uncle who runs a fruit business, the others do not earn much cash every year...

Therefore, based on their understanding of money, even millions are very impressive, and tens of millions are almost equal to the limit of their imagination. There is no need to use "hundred million" as the unit.

Because the effect is the same...

Sure enough, even the uncle who was the most successful among the people present and had come into contact with hundreds of thousands of "big money" was shocked, let alone others.

"Ouch!"

"How much does it cost..."

"It's incredible!"

At this time, the simplicity of the rural people was once again demonstrated. Both men and women did not hide the shock and envy on their faces.

Grandma also said "Oh", then took Zhou Wang's hand and patted it continuously, "It's good to make money. My eldest grandson is the boss now, great..."

"Zhou Wang, now that you've made money, when will you take us elders to enjoy life?"

Amidst the amazed laughter, my aunt-in-law covered her mouth and laughed.

It was a half-joking tone, but it also revealed a hint of jealousy in my aunt-in-law's heart.

But in the eyes of Zhou Wang, who has a clear mind, the interesting point is... my aunt-in-law actually doesn’t know what kind of mentality she had when she said this.

So Zhou Wang would not argue with her, but just laughed, "That's for sure, we are a family, we must show filial piety to those who deserve it!"

"Qingkui!"

Zhou Wang called out, and Jiang Qingkui, who had been waiting at the door, walked in immediately.

She and Miao Ying were each holding a cardboard box, which contained things Zhou Wang had prepared in advance.

Under the curious gazes of relatives, Zhou Wang stood up and started distributing red envelopes from the cardboard boxes according to the seating order.

"Aunt, this is to honor you and your uncle, thank you for changing my diapers when I was a kid!"

"Oh, kid, don't do that..."

Despite his aunt's smiling refusal, Zhou Wang still stuffed the red envelope into her hands.

The red envelope was the biggest one, about half a brick thick. You could tell at a glance that it contained a lot of money. Encouraged by her aunt-in-law, my aunt secretly took a look at it and was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

The red envelope contains the standard 10,000 yuan.

This amount of money is approximately equal to one-third of my aunt’s annual cash income…

Zhou Wang didn't even think about things like cigarettes and alcohol. When it came to giving gifts to his relatives, the most practical thing was money.

"Uncle, when you were still in the textile factory, I made a lot of trouble in your dormitory. This is to show my filial piety to you..."

"Uncle, we two brothers won't say much, hahaha..."

"Second Aunt, thank you for not killing me when you caught me smoking in the field..."

"Third Aunt..."

None of the five families were left out, and on the surface they all received big red envelopes of 10,000 yuan, but Zhou Wang winked at his uncle Zhao Guilin.

The red envelope he gave to his uncle was a little extra, leaving him several thousand extra "private money". After all, although his uncle had the ability to make money, his family status was really miserable. It depended on whether he could understand his good intentions...

"Zhou Wang, why don't you give your grandma a big red envelope as well?"

At this time, my aunt asked curiously again.

"I've already rushed to show off, so my mom will scold me!"

Zhou Wang waved his hand and smiled, "So my filial piety towards my grandmother is left to my mother to show..."

"You little brat, you only know how to talk nonsense!"

Zhao Guihua cursed with a smile, but still sat next to her grandmother, took out the red envelope she had prepared, handed it to her grandmother, and whispered something to her.

Zhou Wang just watched the scene with a smile, and did not ask how much money his mother gave.

Zhou Wang naturally has the deepest feelings for his grandmother, otherwise the first thing he would have considered when buying high-end medical insurance would be the age limit.

But when it comes to being filial to the elderly, there are certain things to be done.

Giving them too much money may not be a good thing. Grandma actually doesn't have much to spend it on, so Zhou Wang let his mother do what she wants in this regard, and he won't interfere.

"Of course, since it's grandma's birthday, as the eldest brother who leads the grandchildren, I can't just not show any appreciation at all."

After mom and grandma finished talking, Zhou Wang clapped his hands with a smile, attracting everyone's attention again. "Grandma, do you want to go see what the foreign countries are like?"

Zhou Wang sat next to his grandmother again, put his arm around her shoulders and spoke mysteriously.

"Oh, you're going abroad?"

It took the grandmother a moment to understand what her eldest grandson meant.

"That's right!"

Zhou Wang laughed, "I've already arranged everything for you. I'm just waiting for my dad and mom to take a leave and take you to Europe. We'll travel to 10 countries for 21 days. Let you relax!"

"Shall we take your grandmother with us?"

Zhou Dajun and Zhao Guihua, who were not aware of this beforehand, were also stunned.

"Yes, my mother will definitely be fine. It doesn't matter whether the small teahouse is open or not. Dad, you should also be able to take a leave. After all, you have been transferred to the archives department. If it really doesn't work out, you can apply for an internal retirement. You have worked hard for half your life. You can also take my mother out for sightseeing."

Zhou Wang's words really touched Zhou Dajun and Zhao Guihua's hearts, and they had no reason to refuse.

Even when I heard about going to Europe, I was filled with excitement and anticipation.

Very few of their generation had ever been abroad. Zhou Dajun could barely be considered to have been abroad once, if one counted it as punching a card on the border monument...

"My dear elders, and my cousins, anyone who wants to go can go. Don't worry, I'll cover all the food, accommodation, and air tickets. All you have to do is make time and have fun!"

Zhou Wang did not let the envy of other relatives last too long. He quickly looked around and smiled.

As soon as Zhou Wang said this, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became lively again.

If you can travel abroad for free, only a fool would not go!
In fact, Zhou Wang also hoped that as many people as possible would go. After all, his grandmother also loved being lively, and with so many children following her, her experience would definitely be the best it could be.

Old people don’t have so many extravagant demands. As long as the family is reunited, anywhere is home…

Just like the lyrics say, it's easier than six hundred bucks.

"Dear elders, it's up to you to decide whether to go or not. If you want to go, just go find my mom to sign up and she'll send me her ID card. You don't have to worry about anything else."

After they laughed and made noises for a while, Zhou Wang made a final summary.

Passports, visas, air tickets and so on are all handled by Brother Ruan. After Jiang Qingkui gets the list, he only needs to provide it to Brother Ruan's company.

As for Zhou Wang, he was only responsible for paying the bill. He certainly had little interest in traveling with his elders.

"Xiao Xin, come here!"

After making arrangements with the elders, Zhou Wang waved to his older cousin.

"elder brother……"

My eldest cousin is from my second aunt’s family. He just graduated from high school this year and barely got into a second-tier university.

"Here, this is a gift to congratulate you on getting into college."

Zhou Wang took out a laptop, a tablet, a mobile phone and a Bluetooth headset from the box one by one.

The standard Huawei "Hongmeng four-piece set".

"Oh, this is too expensive..."

The eldest cousin was still laughing foolishly in surprise, while the second aunt was already waving her hands embarrassedly.

"Second aunt, since my brother has made money, this is what he should do. Besides, he has been admitted to university, so he should be encouraged!"

Zhou Wang smiled and took the opportunity to say, "My dear elders, let me put this on the table. No matter whose child it is, as long as he or she can get into college, I will give him or her a computer and a cellphone as a gift. Do you want an Apple, Huawei, or any other brand? You can choose it yourself!"

"Not only that, I will also cover your tuition for four years of university. If you can pass the postgraduate entrance examination and get a doctorate, I will also cover your tuition. Of course, you will still have to worry about your living expenses..."

"Zhou Wang, this is a good suggestion. I support it!"

Lao Zhou slammed the table excitedly and was the first to express his position.

Relatives are naturally happy to see this happen. As long as the child works harder, how much money can be saved by studying in college for four years...

Cash red envelope + overseas travel + "family scholarship fund", after this set of combined punches, even the aunt-in-law had nothing to say, and turned around to get her collection of high-quality fruits to entertain Zhou Wang.

But in the end, Zhou Wang still pulled his mother aside and talked to her.

"Mom, since I gave you five million, I won't interfere with how you use the money. I also believe that you know your limits, so if you encounter anything like borrowing money, you can make your own decision. But anyway, there is no hope if they come to me..."

"Don't worry, Mom knows what she is doing."

Zhao Guihua was stunned for a moment before she vaguely understood what her son meant, and she immediately nodded.

Everything that needed to be arranged had been arranged, and everything that needed to be said had been said. Zhou Wang did not stay in the room any longer. He had to leave some space for his father and mother to show off alone...

Of course, facing the increasingly blatant praise from relatives, Zhou Wang was really a little overwhelmed...

The main reason is that he looks young.

……

Normally people in the countryside don't eat so late, but because there are so many people today, and we have to wait for Zhou Wang's great aunt to arrive from another place, so the final dinner time is set at seven o'clock.

After taking a stroll on the ridge of the field, Zhou Wang saw that there was still time, so he asked Jiang Qingkui to contact the photography studio he had already found.

After the photography and lighting staff arrived, Zhou Wang asked all the relatives to take a family photo.

However, he still underestimated the women's enthusiasm for taking photos. He originally just wanted to take a few photos, but he ended up being tormented by this group of women for nearly two hours.

If it wasn't for the fact that it was getting dark and my aunt's family was about to arrive, the men couldn't help but get angry and estimated that they would drag the photographer to take pictures until midnight.

After all the busy work, we finally had dinner around eight o'clock.

Cold rice noodles, glutinous rice balls, fried crispy meat, boiled and fried fish, braised beef, braised lamb, fried potatoes with classic fish herb...

Right!

They were all the most common fish and meat in the countryside here, but Zhou Wang enjoyed them very much.

Although Zhou Wang couldn't eat Houttuynia cordata, he could eat coriander very well.

However, these flavors are hard to find outside the village, so Zhou Wang cherishes this moment very much...

When the meal was almost over, the second uncle happily took a sip of the Maotai that Zhou Wang brought, and suddenly said with some concern: "I'm afraid that the Zhao family won't give in so easily, right?"

The originally lively atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly slowed down.

"Brother-in-law, this is an era of rule of law. Don't worry. I don't think they dare to do anything wrong!"

Zhou Dajun, who had drunk a little, waved his hand and said, "If there is anything, let's call the police!"

"I'm afraid it's not that simple. Zhao Deli is actually a bully who only fears the strong and bullies the weak. He lost face today after being punished by Zhou Wang. I guess he won't be able to say anything more in the future."

Hearing this, the third uncle gave a bitter smile and analyzed objectively, "But, it's hard to say about his eldest brother Zhao Dezhu. I'm afraid he won't listen to reason with us..."

"Yes, I'm just worried that Zhao Dezhu might mess up!"

The second uncle immediately agreed, "The three Zhaos have five sons. The others are all okay, but Zhao Dezhu is really ruthless. When Zhao Shusheng started his career in construction, Zhao Dezhu followed him..."

Zhou Wang listened to his second uncle telling some rumors about Zhao Dezhu in vivid detail. Even his uncle, who was "fearless", became silent. He just smiled slightly.

It's already 2024. After the "Sweep X and Eliminate X" campaign, there aren't that many ruthless people left...

He can still live well outside now. Even if he is a ruthless person, he is a smart ruthless person.

However, Zhou Wang did not interrupt. He just looked at the time, thinking that it was about time, assuming that Zhao Shusheng really had asked about his situation.

But given that Zhao Shusheng would definitely inquire about his situation, this assumption is not valid.

dong dong!

All I can say is that [Divine Luck Aura] is awesome. Zhou Wang once again experienced the illusion of "wishes come true". He had just come up with the corresponding thought when there was a knock on the door...
