The Prodigal Son: I Can Foresee the Future

The old man was very angry, but he was still very angry.

Don't tear people apart when they are in trouble.

Lin Ming knew Zhang Hao's character too well.

He wanted to explain all this, but he was afraid of hurting Zhang Hao's self-esteem.

At this point, the atmosphere became a little silent.

Zhang Hao obviously had a very ordinary life, but he had to quarrel with his wife because of Lin Ming.

The words he used to educate Lin Ming seemed to become a joke when he used them on himself.

Brotherhood?

For men, perhaps they really care about this.

But life will not give you the opportunity to be loyal.

"Brother."

After a long time.

Lin Ming asked knowingly: "Have you and your sister-in-law had a second child?"

"Yes."

Zhang Hao showed pride: "It's a little girl. Isn't your sister-in-law amazing? Haha, I have a son and a daughter now. Your sister-in-law is a hero of our Zhang family!"

"Congratulations!"

Lin Ming smiled on the surface, but felt a little bitter in his heart.

He asked again: "By the way, how much mortgage do you pay every month? I'll learn from you in advance so that I can be prepared when I buy a house in the future."

"Don't you know the house price in Landao City?"

Zhang Hao curled his lips: "The total house price is less than 3 million. I took a small down payment. I borrowed nearly 2 million. The term is 30 years, the interest rate is 5.35, and it's just over 10,000 per month."

In fact, this repayment amount is very stressful for any salaried worker.

And Lin Ming knew that Zhang Hao's parents were just farmers.

It is estimated that the down payment money was also collected by freezing the west.

Just now, Wang Tiantian was still shouting on the phone that they had only saved more than 10,000 yuan in total.

Zhang Hao transferred another 3,000 yuan to Lin Ming.

If they don't get paid at the end of the month, they won't be able to pay the mortgage next month.

Not to mention, there are a series of expenses such as tuition, diapers, and milk powder.

"Is my sister-in-law a full-time wife now?" Lin Ming asked casually.

"That's for sure. She has to pick up and drop off the eldest child to school, and someone has to take care of the second child. She can't go to work."

Zhang Hao glanced at Lin Ming.

Then he said proudly: "Your eldest brother now has a salary of more than 10,000 yuan a month, plus mid-month bonuses and the like, it's almost 14,000 to 15,000 yuan a month. Does she still need to go out to work? How do you say that? I'm responsible for making money to support the family, and she's responsible for being beautiful, haha!"

"As expected of my eldest brother, he's awesome!" Lin Ming gave a thumbs up.

The two chatted for a while.

A dark orange Changan BenBen drove over.

Two men got out of the car.

They were Yu Jie and Liu Wenbin!

"Oh, a Rolls-Royce?"

Yu Jie had a flat head, was chubby, and had some black spots on his face.

He looked envious and said to Liu Wenbin: "Tsk tsk, this is a real big boss! Rolls-Royce Phantom, tens of millions, the license plate alone is estimated to be hundreds of thousands."

"When will you change one?" Liu Wenbin laughed.

"Wait, I'll call my fourth son to order one!"

"Haha, just brag!"

The two walked towards Lin Ming and Zhang Hao while talking and laughing.

Liu Wenbin wore a baseball cap and occasionally looked at Zhang Hao and Lin Ming. He always felt that he was hiding something.

"Second brother, third brother!" Lin Ming waved happily.

Yu Jie said with a straight face: "You still know that you have a second brother and a third brother?"

"Third brother, my eldest brother has just taught me a lesson..." Lin Ming said helplessly.

Yu Jie looked at Zhang Hao: "Didn't you beat him up?"

Zhang Hao immediately said: "I kicked him, but since he admitted his mistake, I'd better not beat him up."

"Big brother has spoken, so you've escaped today." Yu Jie snorted.

Lin Ming looked at Liu Wenbin.

He remembered that this second brother used to like to joke the most, why didn't he say a word when he saw him today?

"Second brother, why are you wearing a hat? Are you bald?" Lin Ming teased.

"I am happy to!" Liu Wenbin raised his head.

When he raised his head, Lin Ming clearly saw that there was a large bruise on his left eye socket.

That was clearly caused by someone punching him!

"What's going on?" Lin Ming frowned.

"What's going on? You still have the right to control me?"

Liu Wenbin changed the subject and said, "Have you ordered the dishes? I'm almost starving. This is in Landao City. You're the host today. We're going to give you a good meal!"

Lin Ming pursed his lips and looked at Yu Jie and Zhang Hao again.

The two of them looked away, obviously knowing that Liu Wenbin was

Bin's matter, but he didn't want to talk about it.

Lin Ming thought about it, but didn't ask any more questions for the time being.

"Fatty, bring the menu!"

The four brothers ordered some barbecue and a glass of draft beer each.

It was hard to get together, and tomorrow was Sunday, so they didn't plan to go back.

Just drive to a designated driver, or leave it here first.

"Damn it, I haven't had such a good time in three or four years. Let's get drunk today!"

Zhang Hao raised his glass first: "Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

Lin Ming and the other two laughed and picked up the wine glasses and gulped them down.

"It has to taste the same!"

Yu Jie said while eating: "Remember when we first came here, we didn't have much money in our hands. We spent a lot of money but still owed Fatty 40 yuan. It was Fatty who was open-minded, otherwise we might not be able to leave."

"Fatty, did you hear that? I'll give you the 40 yuan today!" Lin Ming shouted.

The fat man laughed and said, "It's been so long. If I had just waited for your 40 yuan, my store would have closed down long ago!"

"Hahaha..."

Everyone laughed.

"Lin Ming, tell me about yourself? Didn't you tell your brother on the phone that you have turned over a new leaf? What are you doing now?" Liu Wenbin asked.

"I opened a company." Lin Ming answered honestly.

Seeing that everyone looked unconvinced.

Lin Ming quickly said, "If you don't believe me, just look up my name on the Internet."

"Go to hell!"

Liu Wenbin laughed and scolded, "You opened a company? I remember you didn't brag before? Why are you lying so well now?"

"Brothers, look at his serious look, should we teach him a lesson?" Zhang Hao said unconvinced.

Liu Wenbin and Yu Jie immediately stood up and scratched Lin Ming.

When Lin Ming struggled, he accidentally knocked Liu Wenbin's hat off.

Liu Wenbin's head was still wrapped in a bloodstained gauze.

The few people stopped playing immediately.

Yu Jie and Zhang Hao both looked embarrassed.

"Second brother, what's going on?"

Lin Ming frowned: "I have no secrets with you. Is there anything you can't tell me?"

Liu Wenbin took a big sip of beer in silence.

"I borrowed some money from outside and haven't paid it back yet. I was beaten!"

Lin Ming's face sank.

Zhang Hao sighed: "In the first half of this year, Wenbin's father suffered a loss while working. He fell from the fourth floor and broke his leg. He also developed osteomyelitis and needed surgery. Wenbin had no choice but to borrow from those loan companies first, but hundreds of thousands of yuan can't be paid back in a short time."

At this point, he and Yu Jie clenched their fists.

It's not that they don't want to help Liu Wenbin, but the key is that they can't save themselves, so how can they help?

Lin Ming raised his head and glanced over the three people.

"I thought you were living well."
