Chapter 186: A Part of Understanding, Part of Forgiveness
Lu Xiaorong felt relaxed after listening to Shen Lin's words, and her worried heart finally let go. Just now she was worried about how she should tell him such a big thing.
Eighty thousand yuan, at that time, was equivalent to eight households worth ten thousand yuan. In Lu Xiaorong's view, that was money that many people could not earn in their lifetime.
If my cousin’s investment fails, then...
"That's 80,000 yuan!" Although Lu Xiaorong relaxed a lot, he still felt scared.
"What is money? Money is like a bastard. If you don't have it, keep making money! It doesn't deserve to make my wife worry about gains and losses like this!"
"What's more, your cousin is the section chief of a foreign trade company. He said that if you can buy steel at internal prices, you can definitely buy it."
"Even if the price of steel does not rise, he will not lose money. What's more, now, the motherland's construction is advancing rapidly, and steel is needed everywhere!"
"Don't worry, he will make his money back soon."
Shen Lin's comfort finally made Lu Xiaorong feel more at ease, but she still felt a little guilty and said: "Shen Lin, I... I lent the money to my cousin without your consent. I..."
"Even if I know, I still have to lend it to your cousin, otherwise, my mother will lose face when she goes back to her parents' home!"
At this point, Shen Lin had no choice but to follow Lu Xiaorong's words. After all, if he objects now, what's the use? Just give his wife some mercy.
"Husband, according to you, can this cousin really get rich?"
"No problem, maybe after a while, when he pays back the money, he can really give me an extra ten thousand!" Shen Lin tried his best to comfort him.
"By the way, Xiaorong, can't we withdraw the 80,000 yuan at once?" Shen Lin asked doubtfully, thinking of the more than 20,000 yuan that he would have to pay the day after tomorrow.
Lu Xiaorong said: "My cousin has an acquaintance in the bank. He asked some director of the bank and took out all the money."
Hearing what Lu Xiaorong said, Shen Lin smiled and said, "Okay, I'll lend it out. You take a rest first, and I'll make fish."
Looking at Shen Lin who turned around and went to the kitchen, Lu Xiaorong suddenly thought of something.
"Husband, are you also in a hurry for money?"
At this time, Shen Lin was cleaning up Huang Qi, thinking about stewing the tofu first, and thinking about what to do with the 20,000 yuan. Lu Xiaorong had already loaned the money out, and it was already too late to say anything now, and there were complaints. What's the use?
Although he has never really had contact with his cousin Lu Xiaorong, his relationship with Chen Hongying has improved these days, and he often hears Chen Hongying talk about how promising his natal nephew is.
From Chen Hongying's performance, Shen Lin knew how much Chen Hongying valued her nephew. With high interest rates, internal indicators, and unforgettable family ties, Shen Lin could fully imagine that Lu Xiaorong at that time would not borrow money. It's almost impossible.
Therefore, he does not blame his wife. He is also responsible for this kind of thing.
Although giving so much money to Lu Xiaorong is a form of trust, it also adds a burden to Lu Xiaorong.
"It's okay, don't worry, wife, I can handle it."
"Husband, if you think that I am the person closest to you, you shouldn't hide it from me."
Looking at Lu Xiaorong's serious look, Shen Lin knew that if he continued to prevaricate, Lu Xiaorong wouldn't know how to think!
He immediately admitted happily: "It can be regarded as needing money. Today I have negotiated with the cotton and linen company. In the past five days, I have paid them more than 10,000 yuan in rent and more than 10,000 yuan in decoration costs. .”
"But don't worry, I can pay them the money."
Lu Xiaorong looked at the confident Shen Lin and felt something surge in her heart. She couldn't help but come to Shen Lin and stretched out her arms to hug the man.
This man who shields himself from the wind and rain.
"Why don't you scold me and give me money?"
Although Shen Lin wanted to turn around, he was currently cooking and got something on his hands.
"Daughter-in-law, how can I blame you for this?" Shen Lin smiled and said: "Okay, have you heard of this saying? If you want to eat carp meat and catfish soup, Ge Yaxiang is the best! This yellow little boy My name is Ge Ya! Wife, just wait and see me show off my skills and cook you a delicious meal! What's more, my cousin will pay back the money in three days, so we still have time!"
Lu Xiaorong couldn't help but shed tears. Although Shen Lin said it didn't matter and it was still too late, she was a little scared.
"But what if my cousin can't pay it back?"
"It's okay, you have to have some confidence in your cousin, not to mention that I have other ways. The worst we can do is not rent the shops across the street." Shen Lin spread his hands towards Lu Xiaorong and said, "It's okay, I'll do it now Let's make the soup first, then you go outside and wait for a while, and you'll eat in a while."
"Why don't we ask my cousin for 20,000 yuan first?" As Lu Xiaorong spoke, he went outside to put on his shoes.
I need to get back 20,000 yuan first, which will save me trouble. But thinking of what Lu Xiaorong said just now, Shen Lin said: "Xiaorong, didn't your cousin already use the money this afternoon? If we go, it will be in vain, or will we go there?" Just wait."
Lu Xiaorong was stunned for a moment. She had really forgotten this. Lu Xiaorong put down her shoes and couldn't help but said: "Husband, do you think my husband can really exchange it for our money?"
At this time, Shen Lin had no confidence in whether he could be replaced. He looked at the worried Lu Xiaorong, smiled and said: "Don't worry, I think your cousin should still have this ability."
"After all, the current internal price of steel is inflated, which in itself is a good business that guarantees a profit without losing any money."
Shen Lin's comfort made Lu Xiaorong feel relieved, but when she thought about the money, she still couldn't help but frown...
In Lu Xiaorong's eyes, time passed too slowly. Three months made Lu Xiaorong feel more uncomfortable than three years. On the afternoon of the third day after borrowing money, Lu Xiaorong sat down as soon as he got off work. Got on Shen Lin's tricycle.
"Drive faster!" Sitting on Shen Lin's motorcycle tricycle, Lu Xiaorong kept urging Shen Lin to drive faster.
Driving a motorcycle tricycle, Shen Lin blew the wind and said to Lu Xiaorong with a smile: "Daughter-in-law, you don't have to be too impatient. We will definitely be able to get to your cousin's place before seven o'clock."
"What's more, this car can only go so fast."
Although Lu Xiaorong usually has a gentle temper, his character is actually somewhat influenced by his mother Chen Hongying. For example, he is a bit awkward on some things that he believes in.
Twenty minutes later, Shen Lin and Lu Xiaorong arrived at a community in the east of the city. Most of this community had three-story buildings. Although it was not time to go to bed, the lights upstairs were sparse. Sparse.
"Shen Lin, stop at the third building in the north. My cousin and uncle live together on the first floor." Lu Xiaorong was very familiar with this place. She pointed to a building not far away and said: "His house Turn on the lights, my cousin should be at home."
Shen Lin looked at Lu Xiaorong, who was looking forward to it, and immediately reminded him: "Xiaorong, if my cousin has already spent the money, don't be too anxious. Let's just find a way."
Lu Xiaorong didn't speak. Although Shen Lin kept comforting her, the more this happened, the more she felt that she had done something stupid.
Without waiting for Shen Lin to help her, Lu Xiaorong quickly walked towards her uncle's house. As she knocked on the door, she prayed in her heart that her cousin would not spend all the money and give them 20,000 anyway. Let Shen Lin do something about it.
