Chapter 14: Love on New Year's Eve
Chapter 14: Love on New Year's Eve (Part 2)
"Including the 40 yuan I borrowed from my mother, the total amount borrowed is 960 million yuan!" Ning Guorong spent less than an afternoon to get someone to find out Ning Bishu's situation. The credit report printed out from the bank was more than 60 pages long.
There was a moment of silence at the table.
Ning Bishu's grandmother was as quiet as a chicken, with no light in her eyes.
She didn't care that her eldest grandson had lied to her.
But what if Ning Bishu loses the bet this time? What will he do in the future?
"It must be leverage, some kind of investment."
Although Ning Bishu's family members didn't care about him, they still had some basic judgment.
No one thought that Ning Bishu had used the money to eat, drink, gamble and have sex, but his cousin Ning Qian guessed it right as soon as he opened his mouth.
Even if he went to "do business," Ning Guorong still looked down on him. He just said disdainfully, "What does he know about investing? What connections does he have? What information does he have? I wouldn't even dare to leverage like that!"
"Forget it, don't say anymore." Ning Bishu's third aunt interrupted softly, "He chose the path himself, and he has to bear the consequences himself. There's nothing we can do to him anyway."
"Yeah..." Ning Bishu's second aunt, commonly known as Second Aunt locally, also sighed, "I've always felt that Ah Shu was quite content and down-to-earth. It's also my fault that I didn't care enough about him before. If I had known more than ten years ago, I would have let him study medicine. Since our family is not well off, then he should endure more hardships and become a doctor. When he gets older, he won't be rich, but he will have enough to eat and use. Maybe Ah Qiang won't get into trouble, and our family can live a simple life and get by."
"Aqiang, Aqiang, don't call me brother anymore." Ning Bishu's grandmother suddenly interrupted, "You all have so much money, you are leaders, and you are this and that. Your brother is having a hard time, and I don't see you helping him."
"Mom, that's not what you say!"
Ning Bishu's uncle immediately said, "I arranged a job for Aqiang a few years ago, but he refused to go! I really can't do anything about him. He's uneducated, uneducated, and has no skills. I can't just give him money for nothing, can I?"
Grandma was immediately furious: "Why not? Your brother used to spend all his salary on you two!"
"Mom, these two things are different in nature." Ning Bishu's second aunt's husband, a doctoral supervisor, also came in. "We were a family before. We didn't have any families yet, and our younger siblings were still young. It was normal for brothers and sisters to help each other within the family. It wasn't just our family; every family was like this, right? But after getting married and starting our own families, things are different.
You asked us to give Guoqiang's family tens of thousands of yuan every year. That's really a small matter. What's a few tens of thousands of yuan? The problem is that you can't just give it directly. If you get used to it, he'll become dependent on it.
Let me tell you something unpleasant. What if one day, I mean what if, our school goes bankrupt, Ah Hong’s hospital also closes down, and suddenly society changes, and I, a university professor, get into trouble, Ah Hong, the hospital director, also gets into trouble, and then there’s Ah Rong’s family…”
"Hey! Professor Huang, don't drag our family into this!" Ning Bishu's third aunt quickly debunked the prophecy in a joking tone.
"Okay, okay, I won't drag you into this. That's what I mean!" Ning Bishu's second uncle turned around and continued to say to the old lady, "Mom, if something happens to us, who will support Guoqiang and his family in the future? Besides, we've paid for all their food and drinks today, so what about Ah Sheng..."
"Ashu." Ning Bishu's grandmother corrected.
"Yes, yes, Ah Shu!" My uncle, my doctoral supervisor, said nonchalantly, "What if he gets married? Who will pay for it? If he wants to start a business someday and asks us for money, should we give it to him or not? And what if he has another child? Should we raise the child together? Oh my god, it's not that we don't want to help, the problem is that with things like this, once the door is opened, it can't be stopped. It's a bottomless pit!"
If this child works at our school, I would help him out, that would be no problem. Just like Ah Hong said, if he had studied medicine and was admitted to our hospital, it would be natural for Ah Hong to help him, and our family would definitely not hesitate!
Ning Bishu's grandmother couldn't argue with him and just sighed: "You are a university teacher, whatever you say makes sense."
"Mom, this isn't about whether I'm a university professor or not. This is the truth!"
"Yes, grandma." Street Director Huang, Ning Bishu's cousin, who had been silent the whole time, also joined in. "It's not a question of whether Brother Shu's family is in financial difficulty or not. The key is whether Brother Shu can handle the burden himself.
I've also considered helping his family, but their current situation is a bit complicated. Speaking of impoverished households, Ah Shu's monthly salary is actually quite good, higher than the city average. If my aunt and uncle can hold on for another two years, they'll both be able to receive their pensions. Combined, the family should have at least 7,000 to 8,000 yuan a month, which is more than enough to get by. I wanted to help them apply for impoverished household status, but it's not yet available.
Even if it is set up, if it is discovered later, it will have to be removed later, which is meaningless.
What's the main problem in their family right now? It's Ah Shu himself. He's clearly making enough to eat and live. But if you want to take it a step further, to live a better life, there's really no way around it.
After all, only a few people in this world can live exceptionally well. We can't possibly take everyone's needs into account and ensure that everyone lives a respectable life. Respectability is earned through personal effort and struggle; it can't be bestowed upon others.
Ah Shu and I have been together for so many years. We can't say we grew up together, but we're at least around the same age. I'm only a year younger than him. Look at me, did I rely on my family for anything? Of course not! I relied entirely on myself, step by step, getting into a decent university and then getting into my current company. My parents couldn't help me with anything like that.
And Ah Qian, look at him! He's only five years younger than Ah Shu, and he's so mature and steady now. He's so highly regarded by his superiors at work, and he's also built his career step by step on his own. Even if my third uncle's family is rich, he can't just buy his way into the city government, right?
Aqian and I both got in through our own efforts.
Ah Shu took the exam so many times, and he didn't get in. That's his own fault. There's no one else to blame. You can't just let our family cover for him if he doesn't succeed, right? That doesn't make sense!
Don't say he's just my dad's nephew. Even if he were my dad's son, he would at most arrange for him to work in the company, and he would have to start from the bottom. It's absolutely impossible for him to just give him money for no reason. It's not like I'm raising pigs. Right, Dad?"
Ning Guorong nodded.
Ning Bishu's grandmother opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a word in front of this group of children and grandchildren.
Then Ning Qian agreed, "Yes, in the final analysis, everyone has to rely on themselves. The grace of a gentleman is cut off after five generations. Even the grace of the ancient royal family could not extend beyond the five generations of mourning, let alone an ordinary family like ours."
"That's absolutely right!" Professor Huang raised his glass and said with a smile, "Director Ning is a sensible person. I'm going to be so bold as to raise a toast to you today!"
Ning Qian quickly raised his glass, pretending to be flattered, and said with a smile, "Professor Huang, you are too polite. As your nephew, I should toast you!"
"Everyone, come together, Director Huang!"
"Then Dean Ning should come too!"
"Mr. Ning?"
"Chairman Ye?"
"Chairman Ye won't be coming. The driver is on holiday, so you have to drive yourself today."
"Ha ha ha ha……!"
The conversation at the table became lively and enjoyable.
A beautiful scene of prosperity and prosperity.
