The next day happened to be Sunday, so Zhou Hao and Yan Tong came to uncle Zhou Lichang's home.
Zhou Lichang built a three-storey detached house in Zhoujia Village, which is very conspicuous in Zhoujia Village where many tile houses still remain.
And Zhou Lichang lived there with his wife Xu Yongwei and a couple of children. There is also a black "Guangzhou Honda" parked under the bungalow, and the villagers will inevitably take a second look when they pass by.
Before coming here, Yan Tong specially spent more than 50 yuan to buy a basket of fruit.
"It's you guys, why do you remember to visit us?" When Zhou Hao's aunt Xu Yongwei opened the door to see their mother and son, the disdain in her eyes was very obvious.
There was no concealment at all, which made Yan Tong, who was already a little cautious standing in front of the door, even more embarrassed.
Xu Yongwei, who is a little older than Yan Tong, looks younger than Yan Tong by more than ten years due to her good maintenance and no worries about food and clothing.
Seeing Xu Yongwei's snobbish face again after many years, Zhou Hao laughed secretly in his heart, "It really hasn't changed at all!"
"Hi sister-in-law." Yan Tong smiled at Xu Yongwei, "Zhihao and Xinxin are okay."
What she was talking about was Xu Yongwei's sons and daughters, Zhou Zhihao and Zhou Xinxin, both of whom were a few years younger than Zhou Hao and still in elementary school.
"Fortunately, you're interested, come in and sit down." Xu Yongwei invited Zhou Hao and Yan Tong into the room with a very impatient face.
Compared to the small apartment where Zhou Hao's mother and son lived, Zhou Lichang's bungalow looked very luxurious, with leather sofas and large color TVs.
Yan Tong was very nervous after entering the room, for fear that he would dirty the room, he didn't even know where to put his hands.
Entering the spacious hall, Zhou Hao saw his cousin Zhou Zhihao happily playing video games, and his cousin Zhou Xinxin was playing with her kitty cat doll on the sofa.
Seeing Zhou Hao and Yan Tong approaching, the two brothers and sisters paid no attention to them, and didn't even look at them.
Looking at the two arrogant people, Zhou Hao sneered in his heart. These two guys were not good guys since they were young, and they got worse when they grew up.
Zhou Zhihao learned to eat before graduating from high school, and Zhou Xinxin was not much better. After growing up, Zhou Lichang sent her to the United States, but it was heard that she contracted AIDS due to promiscuity there.
"Sit down." Xu Yongwei asked Zhou Hao and Yan Tong to sit in the dining room here, but she didn't have the slightest intention to blame her children for their rudeness.
Zhou Hao thought that the reason why Zhou Zhihao and Zhou Xinxin would be willing to degenerate in the future was caused by Xu Yongwei's connivance.
Yan Tong quickly handed the basket of fruit to Xu Yongwei, "Sister-in-law, where's brother? Isn't he at home?"
Xu Yongwei took the fruit and put it aside, "He went out to drink with his friends last night, and he is still sleeping on it."
she is not salty
Glancing at Yan Tong and Zhou Hao, he sneered and said, "You guys are here this time, probably because you want to borrow money again?"
When Yan Tong heard this, an embarrassing expression immediately appeared on his face, and he murmured, "Sister-in-law, can you help us? Liren took away the family's money again, and now we don't even have Xiaohao's tuition fees." .”
"A Tong, I'm not talking about you. You haven't paid back the money you borrowed from my old Zhou last time."
As she said that, she looked at Zhou Hao again, and said with a gloating smile: "Xiao Hao, you must study hard. Your father is not up to date, so don't make the same mistakes as him. Look, your mother did everything for you. What are you worrying about?"
"Auntie, I will." Seeing Xu Yongwei's mocking eyes, Zhou Hao really wanted to get up and slap her.
But he also knew that now was not the time to be impulsive, so he firmly suppressed the anger in his heart.
At this time, Zhou Zhihao over there turned around and shouted to Zhou Hao: "Ah Hao, come and play games with me, this game is really fun."
He looked at Zhou Hao as if saying, "You must have never played a video game console."
"No, I won't let him dirty our sofa." Zhou Xinxin next to him said with disgust, "Mommy, when are they going to leave? You see, the whole room stinks as soon as they come in."
"How can you talk to others like this." Xu Yongwei said something to them, but there was still no trace of blame in her eyes.
Zhou Hao clenched his fists on his legs and trembled slightly, and the memories of his previous life flooded into his heart again.
At that time Yan Tong was suffering from liver cancer and had to be hospitalized, but his family had no money because Zhou Hao was going to college, so Zhou Hao had no choice but to borrow it from Zhou Lichang.
However, he never expected that Zhou Lichang, who already had a fortune of tens of millions at that time, rejected Zhou Hao very simply.
Xu Yongwei, who was present, said indifferently: "I have terminal cancer, and how much money is worthless. You should hurry up and prepare for the funeral."
Zhou Hao never forgot the humiliation that Zhou Lichang's family had done to Zhou Hao at the moment of his death.
At this moment, Yan Tong who was sitting beside Zhou Hao reached out and grabbed Zhou Hao's clenched fist, hinting him not to be impulsive.
At the same time, he begged Xu Yongwei: "Sister-in-law, please help us, Xiaohao's tuition can't be delayed, we will definitely return the money to you as soon as possible."
"Okay, okay, at least it's a relative." Xu Yongwei curled her lips and said, "How much do you want to borrow?"
"one"
"Ten thousand." Zhou Hao said ahead of Yan Tong.
Xu Yongwei stared at Zhou Hao with wide eyes, "Ten thousand? What are you borrowing so much money for? Can you pay it back?"
Yan Tong was also surprised
Looking at Zhou Hao, she only wanted to borrow one thousand.
Zhou Hao raised his head and said to Xu Yongwei: "We
Want to do some small business, aunt, don't worry, this is the last time we borrow money from you, and we will definitely pay it back as soon as possible. "
Under Yan Tong's pleading eyes, Xu Yongwei thought for a while and said, "Okay, in case people say that our old Zhou doesn't care about his sister-in-law's family.
But Ah Tong, I told you in advance that you have to pay off the money as soon as possible, otherwise even relatives will not be sympathetic to talk about it. It is not easy for our family Lao Zhou to make money. "
Then, Xu Yongwei took out a stack of brand new hundred-yuan bills from the room and handed them to Yan Tong.
However, when Zhou Hao saw the look in Xu Yongwei's eyes, it was clearly a kind of charity to beggars.
"Just wait for me, one day, I will return your 'great kindness'!"
After walking out of Zhou Lichang's house, Zhou Hao looked at this luxurious independent house and swore secretly.
On the way back, Yan Tong asked Zhou Hao: "Xiao Hao, why did you borrow 10,000 yuan from my sister-in-law? When are we going to start a business?"
Zhou Hao smiled softly, "Mom, we're not doing some small business. After paying the tuition fee, I plan to use the remaining money to speculate in stocks."
"Stock trading?" Yan Tong was surprised. At this time in 1998, stock trading had gradually become popular among ordinary people.
However, for Yan Tong, who can barely maintain a living, there is no money left to invest in stocks.
Moreover, even if he doesn't understand stocks, Yan Tong also knows that stock trading is a very risky behavior. From time to time, there are rumors in the society that someone has lost his fortune because of stock trading, and some even committed suicide by jumping off a building because of this.
"That's right." Zhou Hao smiled and said, "Isn't there a securities company just opened opposite the nearby Bank of China? We can go there to open an account, and then invest the money in a few stocks with potential."
Regarding Zhou Hao's words, Yan Tong did not agree with him, and reproached him: "You are a kid who knows what stocks, we'd better return the rest of the money, lest your father find out and use it to gamble."
Zhou Hao sighed slightly. He is only fourteen years old now and doesn't have an ID card yet, so he can't open an account to trade stocks by himself. If he wants to trade stocks, he must go through Yan Tong.
Therefore, Zhou Hao had to convince Yan Tong. He pointed to the noisy market across the street, and the rubbish pile not far away.
"Mom, that market will be demolished soon. In the future, there will be a large supermarket there. A five-star hotel will also be built on the open space over there.
Mom, the development of Xiangcheng is getting faster and faster. We must seize the opportunity to improve our lives. "
He looked deeply at Yan Tong, "Mom, I don't want you to work hard sweeping the streets, and I don't want you to spend the whole night behind that food stall washing dishes, I want you to live in a villa, I want you to drive a luxury car! "
Zhou Hao's excitement and anticipation also affected Yan Tong to some extent, causing her to fall into fantasies about the future involuntarily.
However, for her, the risk of stock trading is too high, not much better than Zhou Liren taking money.
Seeing Yan Tong's deeply worried expression, Zhou Hao asked him: "Mom, do you trust me? Do you trust Xiao Hao?"
"Of course mom believes in Xiaohao, but"
Zhou Hao interrupted Yan Tong with a smile, "Then you can leave it to Xiaohao with confidence, the 10,000 yuan is not much, not much, rather than keeping it, it is better to use it for investment.
I have analyzed several stocks and believe they will show significant gains in the short term. Let's open an account with that new securities company next week. "
In fact, Zhou Hao is only a fourteen-year-old boy now, and it is really unconvincing to say that he wants to devote himself to stock trading.
But for some reason, Yan Tong felt that Zhou Hao's words would definitely come true. She vaguely felt that her son was no longer the ignorant boy he used to be.
