"...To be honest, this rent is not enough for a few bricks, I really don't care."
"That is, that is."
"Not to mention anything else, the returned belongings alone are enough for me to live on. How much can I spend as a rotten old man? I will never be able to spend all this money in my lifetime."
"That's right, that's right. I know your skills best. Isn't it easy to make some money? How about using a seller? You can do it every time in the ghost market."
"You say I am unbalanced and want them to vacate a room one by one? We have been neighbors for many years! How can I do such an unkind thing?"
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. You drink some tea first, and don't be angry. It's not worth your body to be so angry over such a trivial matter."
Ning Weimin took the teapot and gave Kang Shude a cup of tea.
But the old man couldn't let go and said angrily.
"Is it a trivial matter? It has to do with reputation, is it a trivial matter? Don't tell me that you don't know what is said outside, it's too ugly!"
"Okay, people's words are terrible. I am already my age, and I can't bear the infamy for such a small amount of money! It's not just an extraneous thing. That girl Du from the south is willing to give it up, so of course I am willing to give it up."
"I don't want this room anymore, and I've donated all my stuff. Is the head office ready?"
Seeing Kang Shude so angry, Ning Weimin shook his head gently.
"Why are you doing this..."
After sighing, he continued to console him patiently.
"I'm not telling you, but you've stopped eating because of choking. It's a shame to be so angry. Don't you want to plant crops after hearing a few cries of crickets?"
"If nothing else, have you ever thought about Director Li? Isn't he interesting enough? I don't know how many miles he went to do this for you and how many good words he said behind his back. You just said you don't want it because of your anger. I don't know how much effort he put into it.
It’s all in vain? Doesn’t that make you feel awkward?”
"Your reputation is important. But if I keep saying this, no matter how big a loss you suffer, you will only be able to satisfy those who arranged for us behind the scenes. What benefits will be lost to the people close to you? If you can't arrange it well,
Your people still laugh at you for being stupid. Isn’t it true that relatives and enemies are happy when they hate you?"
Once said, it worked.
Kang Shude was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and blurted out uncontrollably.
"Don't say it, what you said makes sense. It really makes me a little confused..."
Ning Weimin felt a little more at ease when he saw that the old man had listened to the advice.
He quickly poured himself a glass of water, took a sip, moistened his throat, and continued talking.
"I know you don't value money. But the situation between you and Du Yunyun is really different. We can't be taken advantage of, right? Please allow me to tell you slowly. Is it right for you to appreciate what I say?"
"That girl got the inheritance from her adoptive mother. That girl's relatives wanted to strangle her to death for money. Besides, how old is that girl? How old are you?"
"If you ask me to analyze it, although Du Yunyun has a high level of awareness, she is probably afraid of being plotted against her, and she is heartbroken. In addition, she was able to make this decision because she was selling her father's land. What's more, she is still young and has a bright future.
Good. The impact of this donation is also great, and it will definitely be compensated by being a nationally renowned model."
"But looking at you, even the house and things are your lifelong efforts. It is not only property, but also your past and your life memories. It is easy to donate, it is just a matter of your words. You can think about it later.
, what should I do? There is no regret in taking medicine."
"Besides, there is a difference between donating and donating. Du Yunyun is the first in the country, with strong initiative and high amount. What about you? You can't stand gossip, follow others, and don't donate much. It's not nice to say
Yes, it doesn’t make much sense to follow others. A certificate and a commendation from the district will be over.”
"Are you short of this? No matter in terms of benefits or honors, this is definitely not as good as the last time we donated bronzes..."
There is no doubt that Kang Shude has been a shrewd person all his life, but he just lost his mind in one breath.
Now that Ning Weimin had thoroughly examined the joints inside and out, he naturally understood how bad things had gone.
"What do you mean?"
The old man pondered and continued to inquire.
"It's not good if we don't do anything and just let the rumors spread, right?"
"How can you do that? If you let the rumors go unchecked, you will get angry. It will not be a good thing for us, the old neighbors, or Director Li."
Ning Weimin smiled slightly.
"That's what I think, let's spend money to eliminate the disaster. Since it is money and housing that cause the trouble of gossip, let's prescribe the right medicine wherever the problem lies. But there is one thing, we can't just donate with just one sentence like Du Yunyun
.We have to distinguish between them, treat them separately, and make our relatives happy and our enemies suffer."
Kang Shude's interest was aroused, he nodded in approval and said "Yeah".
"This charter is not bad. Then please explain carefully what should we do."
"Hey, that's not easy to handle."
Ning Weimin cleared his throat and gave his idea without hesitation.
"You don't care about the rent money. Then we won't charge it, not even a penny. We'll go back and make an agreement with the neighbors. We will take care of the repairs. How can they live in the future? How can they live in the future?
Don’t you miss your kindness?”
"As for the street, we have to be generous and donate 1,800 yuan to Director Li as a supplement to the funds. As for the allowance for the elderly, I don't think we should embarrass Director Li. Take the initiative.
Just don’t ask for it.”
"Think about it. In this way, the barriers between the neighbors have been eliminated, and Director Li has gained face and lost the pressure. Our things have also been left behind. How appropriate?"
"Gossip? Who can gossip when you are doing this to us? If someone gossips again, the streets and neighbors will have to speak up for us. I can guarantee that the jealous ones will make them even more jealous, and they will also say
Nothing comes out."
Not to mention, Ning Weimin's idea was really quite right. Kang Shude was happy when he heard it, and he had to praise it for his thoughtfulness.
But I was happy. I looked at him coldly for a while, but I was deliberately unforgiving and probing.
"Well, this is a good idea, but my income will be gone. From now on, I will just sit back and have nothing. The house is only in name, and I will lose money every year in the future. Are you thinking about me?"
Ning Weimin knew that Kang Shude was being hypocritical, so he shook his head and smiled slightly.
"You, please don't make me cough. You can rest assured about this little money? Didn't you just say that you can't spend it all in your lifetime? Don't worry, as long as I'm here, how can you not make any money? Let's leave it like this.
, I, who am an apprentice, must act like an apprentice. From now on, I will give all my monthly salary to you, how about that?"
Unexpectedly, Kang Shude said "Oh", but the words that followed were even more heartbreaking.
"Does that mean you gave me your salary and I still have to take care of your wife? From now on, I have to give you this house and all these things?"
Ning Weimin was really dumbfounded now.
"Oh, ancestor, can I call you ancestor? If I say I don't want this house and this thing of yours, even I won't believe it."
"But having said that, I understand the basic principles of life. If you are willing to give it to me, it is mine. If you don't give it, it is not mine. Let's put it this way, as long as you are still here today, these things are yours.
Yes, it has nothing to do with me."
"What's more, who am I? Your personal disciple. I can run on my own. From now on, my wealth must be ten times or twenty times more than yours. Otherwise, I would be embarrassed to say that a person is better than a person.
ah."
"Don't worry, your apprentice is ambitious. He is neither a sparrow nor a swan. He will never lose your people and just think about eating ready-made food."
Now Kang Shude was really speechless and silently gave Ning Weimin a thumbs up in his heart.
Then he picked up the tea cup with a smile and took a sip of tea.
With just this bite, perhaps the anger in his heart was gone, and his eyes immediately widened.
"I said, this is double smoked jasmine. Did you buy it newly? It costs about twenty yuan per pound, right? The Queen Mother of the West likes to drink this..."
Ning Weimin rolled his eyes helplessly.
"Is it true that you have been drinking this for two days before you can taste it?"
