i'm really rich

Chapter 2 Who still remembers
After coughing for a while, He Yuan got up from the ground.Grabbing the teapot in the living room, "Gululu" took a few sips.

After drinking, He Yuan sat down on the chair, took a few breaths, then turned on his phone and checked WeChat.

Today is Mid-Autumn Festival.

Usually at this time, He Yuan's mobile phone is full of congratulatory text messages, but since he left the job, the messages on his mobile phone have become less and less.

Even on the festival day, he only received seven or eight messages.

There is not even a title on it, and it is obvious at a glance that it is a group post.

When he just left the job, there were quite a few people who sent messages, but after learning that he was going to take a break for a while and that he didn't leave home for the time being, such messages became less and less.

He Yuan put the phone aside, collapsed on the chair, and looked at the beam.

It has been almost a month since he lived in the old house, but He Yuan is still not used to life in the countryside.

When He Yuan was three years old, his mother chose to divorce because his mother thought his father was incompetent and poor.

In a fit of anger, his father left the house and took He Yuan to his grandparents' house, while his mother took her savings and went to the south.

When he was graduating from primary school, his mother had an accident and passed away. Under the fiddling of a group of people, He Yuan completed the funeral ceremony.

Later, in order to fight for the inheritance, the grandmother invited the divorced grandfather, and divided the finances left by the mother into three shares.

The relatives on the father's side also joined the battle, and after a chaotic battle, they took part of He Yuan's property.

During this period, He Yuan also experienced two family reorganizations. The first time his stepmother abused him, was discovered by his father, and then divorced.

The second stepmother brought a daughter, and her life was not salty, and then she gave birth to a child, and He Yuan became a superfluous person instead.

During the college entrance examination, He Yuan’s performance was abnormal. He took the second college entrance examination with the original score of the second grade. Everyone asked him to repeat the exam, but he made a decision for the first time, filled in the name of the school, and took a four-hour bus to go there. School registration.

During school, when everyone was dating and playing games, He Yuan worked various part-time jobs and worked hard to earn every penny.

By the time other students came out for internships, He Yuan had already gone to BJ with the savings he had saved in college and found a stable job.

Five years after graduation, He Yuan successfully jumped to a large company listed in the United States through the accumulation of several start-up companies, and got an offer with a monthly salary of [-].

Then, in order to catch up with a project, He Yuan went to bed at five in the morning every day, and fell into a coma after two consecutive months.

After an examination, the doctor told him that he had a tumor in his brain, and the cost of the operation was very high, and even with surgery, the success rate of the cure was very low.

For the first time since He Yuan started working, he took a seven-day annual leave.

For seven whole days, he stayed in the rental house and never went out.

Seven days later, He Yuan handed in his resignation, took his poor luggage and returned to his hometown, and bought this ancestral house from his relatives with the 20 savings he had saved from working in the past few years.

He Yuan looked at the tall wooden beams, smoking a cigarette, his eyes full of confusion.He didn't know what he was going to do, what he could do, and even, he didn't know how long he could live.

In the past few years, he has been working hard every day, and he can only sleep four hours a day on average.

Only at work can He Yuan feel safe and know what he is doing and what he can do.

Now that he doesn't have to work, he's at a loss.Moreover, after buying the old house, he has no money left.

I can't do anything I want to.

Cough, cough, cough.

Just after taking two puffs, He Yuan started coughing again.

He took out a tissue and wiped the blood stains from the corner of his mouth. He Yuan took out his phone and started to brush again.

The circle of friends is full of pictures of travel and food, and the whole country is celebrating. He is the only one, hiding in a dark corner, watching others revel.

While brushing, He Yuan suddenly found a piece of news.

"Old He, why don't you, what's going on with your company, why the contact person hasn't replied to my message."

He Yuan looked at the nickname, it was a former partner, this partner was discussed before he resigned, and it was related to a business.

He Yuan frowned.

It shouldn't be. This business has already passed the department director and general manager. It is a high priority business. How can there be no one to deal with it.

After thinking about it, He Yuan sent a WeChat message to his contact, his former subordinate, to ask what was going on. 10 minutes passed and there was no reply from the other party.

He Yuanxin sank. When he was in the company, he asked everyone to set special reminders for relevant important personnel and reply to messages within 10 minutes.

He Yuan found out the other party's phone number and called, but no one answered the first time, no one answered the second time, and the third time the phone was picked up.

"Hey, who is it?"

The phone rang, and there was a loud voice, which sounded like it was in a KTV.

"Hey, Xiao Liu, it's me, He Yuan." He Yuan said.

"He Yuan?" The other end of the phone paused before saying, "Oh, what's the matter?"

"It's like this. A partner sent me a message to ask me, but no one has been connecting with him. Is there something wrong?"

"Partner? What partner? I'm on vacation now. I'll talk about it when I get back to the company."

"That's a very important partner with a high priority. Take a look and reply as soon as possible."

"No time, I have something to say to work, I hung up." The other end of the phone said impatiently.

Just as He Yuan was about to speak, he heard another voice from over there: "Whose phone is it?"

"A poor guy, fuck, I used to always say that my performance is not good, and I will be fired by the company sooner or later. I have a few hundred acres of land in my house, and it will be demolished soon. I bought a few hundred million, and I think that salary?" Xiao Liu cursed. road.

"That's right, Boss Liu will be a local tyrant in the future. He will buy the company and take care of us brothers." Another voice said.

"Isn't it just a few hundred million, small meaning. Sing and sing, ignore him." Xiao Liu yelled, and his ghostly howling voice came from the receiver.

He Yuan's hand holding the phone tightened, and he slowly put down the phone.

After staying for a while, He Yuan found out the other person's number and called him.

The phone was picked up within two rings: "Hi, it's Xiaoyuan, what's the matter?"

The corner of He Yuan's mouth curled up, revealing a forced smile: "Hey, Sister Wei, it's like this, there is a partner..."

He Yuan briefly explained the matter, and listened carefully on the other end of the phone. After He Yuan finished speaking, the other end of the phone said.

"It's Xiaoyuan like this. Your previous business has been handed over to others. I don't know the specific situation. I'll ask later."

"It's okay, Sister Wei. The other party came here. I've already left the job. I don't know the specific situation, so I'm asking to disturb your rest."

"Okay, I know about it."

After the chat, He Yuan put down the phone, and then sent a WeChat message to the partner, indicating that he had already talked to the CEO, and someone would look for him at that time.

After finishing all this, He Yuan put down his phone and stared at the dark night sky outside the house in a daze.

There are very few people in the countryside, most of them have houses in the city, and there are only a few old people left in the countryside.

At night, the whole village is plunged into darkness, and only a few houses can reveal a little bit of light.

"Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yuan."

An old voice came from the door.

He Yuan came back to his senses, and hurried out: "Old Tang, why are you here?"

An old man staggered to the courtyard and was welcomed into the house by He Yuan.

The old man was in his seventies and eighties, with a stooped back and a face full of grooves. He was dressed in a washed-out blue cloth that looked a little loose.

"Isn't it time for dinner? I'll come over to see if you have eaten. If you haven't eaten, come and eat together." With He Yuan's support, the old man sat down on the chair.

"Eat, eat, my roommate from college came over today, cooked and ate. But you, aren't you having a holiday with your family today?" He Yuan said.

Elder Tang lives next door to He Yuan, two houses away. He is an old man in the village.When He Yuan was young, Elder Tang took him with him.

Elder Tang's children were also in the city, and he lived alone in the country. When He Yuan came back, it was Elder Tang who kept inviting him to dinner.

"They are either working outside or going out to play. They seem to have traveled to Thailand or something. If you want me to tell you, what is there to do abroad? If you have the money, you might as well save it." Lao Tang nagging.

He Yuan was silent for a while.

He remembered meeting Mr. Tang this morning. Mr. Tang was carrying fresh catfish, smoked salted duck, and fat and lean pork.

Mr. Tang happily told him that he took the bus to the market early in the morning, bought a lot of ingredients, and prepared to cook a sumptuous dinner.

"Hey, if the child doesn't come back, I have cooked too much food at home. I am afraid it will be wasted. I will come over to see if you have eaten. If you haven't eaten, you can go to my place for a meal." The dry tobacco in Tang Laojiang's hand knocked on the ground After a while, took a sip, and said.

"Forget about the meal, but Mr. Tang, we can have a drink with you." He Yuan said.

Elder Tang was happy and wanted to go back to get the wine, He Yuan quickly asked him to sit down, and trotted all the way to get the wine at the old man's house.

Tang's old house is very simple. The furniture in the house is still the old wood of the last century. In the empty living room, there is a table full of half-cold food.

He Yuan took a bottle of white wine, brought two appetizers, and ran back home.Putting the wine and dishes on the table, he went into the kitchen and washed two glasses.

Pour the wine into the glass, the two touched each other and took a sip.

As soon as he drank the liquor, He Yuan felt nauseated. Since returning to his hometown, he ate very little, and he lost [-] catties, and his stomach became much smaller.

This sip of white wine immediately made his stomach churn, he quickly took two mouthfuls of appetizers, suppressed the surging vomit, and lit another cigarette.

Elder Tang on the side took a sip, narrowed his eyes, smashed his mouth, put the cup on the table, and took a puff of cigarette: "Xiao Yuan, tell me, you young people like to stay in big cities here."

"Big city?" He Yuan was taken aback for a moment.

"Yeah, look, there are fewer and fewer people in the countryside. Everyone has gone to the big cities, and they don't want to come back."

"Maybe it's for living. There are more opportunities in big cities." He Yuan said.

"Life, the few money they earned, after deducting the rent and food, are gone." Tang Lao said.

He Yuan didn't know what to say.

When he first started working, it was [-] yuan a month, [-] yuan for rent, [-] yuan for water and telephone, and [-] yuan for meals.In addition to transportation expenses, not only can't save money, but I have to pay it back.

To be honest, in the first three years of working, He Yuan didn't save a penny, all of which was supported by his school savings and credit cards.

It was not until the fourth year, when He Yuan jumped from a start-up company to a large company, that he started to have savings in his hands.

"They are still buying houses in the city, where housing prices are so high, and they owe hundreds of thousands to buy a suite. If they are unemployed and can't afford it, then the house is still given to the bank?
Moreover, the houses in the city are so small, and there are dozens of households on one piece of land, and the upstairs and downstairs are so uncomfortable. You see how good the countryside is, with each family living in a big house, and how comfortable they live. I really don’t know what they think. "Old Tang continued to chatter.

He Yuan laughed along with him.

In fact, he would rather be a house slave if he could.

Unfortunately, he couldn't afford BJ's down payment. After the house price in Chengdu tripled, he couldn't afford the down payment, and he didn't even have the qualifications to buy a house.

He Yuan once felt that he would never be a house slave in his life.

Thinking about it now, I was really young at that time.

"I didn't make a lot of money, I owed hundreds of thousands, and I was tossing and tossing. Big cities are not good, and big cities are harmful." Tang Lao sighed.

He Yuan listened for a long time before he understood.

The matter is very simple. One of his children works in a coastal city. When they have money, they buy a house and they drift away.

The son was fascinated by some woman outside and cheated, and now the young couple is arguing for divorce.

This kind of thing is not surprising to He Yuan.

Men, when they first dated each other, would always say from the bottom of their hearts that they would never cheat.

Women love to hear that too.

In fact, saying this kind of thing is to divide people.

Generally speaking, people who have experience are more trustworthy than those who have not.

It's like money.

Some people have money, but they say they don't love money because they know what it feels like to be rich.

And if a person who has no money says that he doesn't love money and regards money as dung...

After this kind of person has money, he is often more terrifying than the first kind of person.

Because he has never tasted the taste of money, when he has tried it, he will easily fall into it.

People who don't talk about it and make promises indiscriminately are usually not responsible people.

"It's all about money. If you say they're making trouble, just make trouble. It's none of the children's business. If they really get divorced, what will Duoduo do?" Mr. Tang was smoking a dry cigarette, the wrinkles on his face congealed into a ball .

Dodo is Tang Lao's granddaughter, whom He Yuan met when he returned to his hometown.

At that time, she was still young, but she was quite cute.Count the time, it's almost time to go to high school now.

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings." He Yuan comforted him, picked up his wine glass and clinked a glass with Mr. Tang.

"Xiao Yuan, you are your young man, what do you think Dodo likes?" Elder Tang asked after clinking a glass with He Yuan.

Before He Yuan could react, he heard Mr. Tang say: "Duoduo's birthday will be soon, and they don't have enough money for themselves. They just don't ask me to borrow money. They don't want to spend money for their children. I just think that Duoduo is very pitiful alone. Yes, let her come over for her birthday, I'm still here now, if I leave, I don't know who will remember."
