At the beginning of 2028, after the New Year, Jin Quan gathered the Jin family together and prepared to separate from them.
"Our family's total savings now is only 400,000 yuan. I will give you 200,000 yuan, and each of you four brothers will get 50,000 yuan." Jin Quan said, "After you receive the money, you can go out to live. I will not do it again in the future." I’ll give you money. If you have a conscience, come and see me every now and then. If you don’t have a conscience, just pretend I’m dead.”
Everyone was stunned when they heard what he said.
"Father, we are not leaving, we are all staying with you." Jin Fengju said quickly.
"Yes, father, we will be filial to you by your side and will not go anywhere." Jin Hesun also said.
"Father, please don't say such things. How can a child be worthy of it?" Jin Pengzhen also said quickly.
"Okay, I'm giving you a chance to stand on your own." Jin Quan waved his hand, "If you have the ability, you can make your own way.
If you don't have the skills and can't stay outside, I will take care of your food when you come home. But it is absolutely impossible to enjoy it as before. Just take care of yourself. "
Seeing that he had said so, the three of them had no choice but to do it.
…
Later, the four brothers Xiang Nan, Fengju, Hesun, and Pengzhen each received 50,000 yuan, and then each found a house to move.
After Fengju, Hesun, and Pengzhen went out, they immediately bought a large house with an area of more than a hundred square meters to accommodate their family. Naturally, they spent thousands of dollars on this.
But Xiang Nan was not in a hurry to buy a house, but rented an apartment near Stockholm University. In this way, it will be convenient for Leng Qingqiu to go to school.
[In view of the general environment,
In addition to Bai Xiuzhu and Xiao Lian, there are also servants such as Jin Rong, Cuiyu, and Pearl, which can be regarded as a big family.
The reason why he is not in a hurry to buy a house is because Xiang Nan knows that the current housing prices in Stockholm are still relatively expensive.
Because today is what the newspapers call the "Golden Age of Capitalism", where the economy is growing rapidly, hedonism is prevalent, and everyone dares to consume in advance.
Therefore, houses, cars, refrigerators, washing machines, radios, designer clothes...are popular among the people. During the presidential campaign in the United States at that time, everyone claimed that every family should have a car in the garage and a chicken in every kitchen...
So the house prices at that time were inflated. A house of 100 square meters in Stockholm costs 2,000 Swedish kronor. If you want to buy a villa with a garden and a swimming pool, it will cost at least 100,000 kronor.
But when the economic crisis breaks out in 2029, I'm afraid I can buy it for 20,000 kronor.
Although Xiang Nan can make a lot of money, he is also very careful when spending money.
…
In 2028, Xiang Nan continued to ride the stock market while writing the serialization of "The Hobbit: A Wonderful Journey".
His fame and fortune grew rapidly as a result.
At the same time, Jin Meili also entered the preparatory class at Stockholm University, preparing to major in literature and become a writer like her brother and sister-in-law in the future.
At the same time, in China, after the new party was unified, it continued to call for the Northern Expedition.
The Northern Expeditionary Army marched forward with great success, and soon hit the Yanzhao and Qilu areas, forcing the Fengcian warlords to withdraw from the pass and retreat outside the pass.
On June 4th, the Huanggutun Incident broke out, and the leader of the Feng Faction warlord was killed. This also announced the complete collapse of the Beiyang government supported by him.
As early as the end of May, when the Northern Expeditionary Army reached Beiping City, Bai Xiongqi had officially announced his resignation, and then lived in seclusion in Jinmen with his wife, plotting a comeback.
Bai Xiuzhu was naturally very sad to learn that her brother had left the field. I didn't expect that my brother would be strong all his life, but in the end he would not be able to fight for his life. The prime minister did a good job, but he was still forced to step down.
"Okay, now that the situation is turbulent, it would be inappropriate for the Prime Minister to be the right one." Seeing her depressed expression, Xiang Nan quickly persuaded with a smile, "Besides, your brother has made a lot of money over the years, so he is quite capable."
"I hate it, don't say that to my brother.
elder brother. Bai Xiuzhu said angrily when she heard this.
"Okay, I won't say anything anymore." Xiang Nan nodded.
In fact, he felt that it was really advantageous for him to go out so easily just for what he did to Bai Xiongqi. If he were in power, thieves like this should have their property confiscated and then shot.
However, during the Republic of China, this was the custom. As long as you announced your resignation, you would generally not be held accountable.
The main reason for this is that the political situation at that time was turbulent. Everyone had their moments of success and everyone's moments of failure. The king's flag changed on the city wall. You just finished singing and I came on stage. I didn't know when I would take the stage or what. Then he stepped down. So keep a line in everything you do so that you can meet each other easily in the future.
Bai Xiongqi had embezzled tens of millions during his tenure. After arriving in Jinmen, he could live a comfortable life. Although I have no power, I have money and my life is still comfortable.
It’s really unpleasant to think about!
…
In the second half of 2008, Leng Qingqiu successfully became a graduate student in the Literature Department of Stockholm University, and Jin Meili also became a college student in the Literature Department.
With the support of his father, Jin Runzhi opened a flower shop on the street.
In fact, after Li Haoran's death, her mental state has not been very good. Even when she came to Sweden, thousands of miles away, she was still missing her.
She was depressed almost every day and couldn't lift her spirits. Therefore, in order to help her get out smoothly, Jin Quan thought of letting her go out and do something so as not to be bored at home alone.
After Xiang Nan found out, he also supported this suggestion.
In the end, Jin Runzhi felt the love of his family and decided to come out. The flower shop was her own idea, and looking at those flowers made her feel better.
In the past six months or so, the lives of the three brothers Jin Fengju, Jin Hesun, and Jin Pengzhen have basically not changed much.
None of them looked for a job or did any business. Instead, they deposited all their money in the bank and thought about making money with interest. But now is the prosperous era, and the interest rate on deposits is not high, only less than 2%.
Therefore, when they deposit their money in the bank, they can only get about two thousand oceans in interest every year. And they are used to enjoying themselves, like Jin Fengju, who can easily spend ten thousand yuan on a concubine.
Now they have to support their family, at least six people, how can they do it with a mere two thousand oceans. Therefore, I originally planned to just eat interest, but within three months, I had already started to use the principal.
According to Xiang Nan's estimation, even for the richest third brother's family, according to their current living standards, 150,000 yuan would only be enough for five or six years at most.
At that time, if you don't change, you may become a beggar.
Just like during the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, there were often reports in newspapers about "the prince's sons and grandsons fell to death in the city gate, and the princess ordered her wife to fall into the fireworks courtyard."
It is because these children of the banner people like to relax and do not work in production, so once the Qing Dynasty fell, they had no ability to stand on their own and had to become beggars and prostitutes.
