Fox in the Penalty Area

Volume 81 of the Fox in the Restricted Area. Father and daughter Hu Lai followed the team to finish their first winter training in Yunshan Changshui. After returning to Jincheng for a week of recuperation, they set off with the team for Yue, the most southern part of China. The state and province are conducting the second phase of winter training.

In order to save money, the club did not choose to go abroad for winter training like other teams.

Just when Hu Lai's left Jincheng, his parents set foot on the land of Jincheng.

They are here for the New Year, or strictly speaking, they are here to pay back the money.

At the beginning, I borrowed 350,000 yuan from my eldest brother, but now I have to pay back the principal with interest.

They took a taxi directly from the train station to the restaurant where they ate.

After entering the private room, I saw Hu Lai's grandparents, as well as my brothers and sisters.

What made Xie Lan very happy was that the second sister, whom she had not seen for many years, also flew back with her husband to celebrate the New Year.

"I heard from Haohao that you were coming, so I came back." The second sister, Peng Hao's mother, grabbed the little girl's arm and said happily.

Peng Hao was planning to go home during the winter vacation, but when he heard his grandmother happily mentioning that Hu Lai's mother, that is, his little aunt, was coming back for the New Year this year, he decided to stay in Jincheng for the New Year. Not only that, he also called his mother and asked her and father to come to Jincheng as well, where their family celebrated the New Year.

Peng Hao's mother thought to herself that she hadn't been back for a few years, and the most important thing was to be able to see her little sister whom she hadn't seen for at least ten years, so she agreed to her son.

In this way, I finally saw the little girl I hadn't seen for almost ten years.

The two sisters, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, met again and were very happy. They sat on the sofa in the private room and chatted, while waiting for the elder brother's family.

After everyone came, the elder brother's family arrived late.

Although he apologized to everyone after entering the private room, he said that it was because the district leader asked him to go to the house for a few words, so he wasted a little time.

But in fact, everyone knows that the eldest brother is just taking this opportunity to pretend to be aggressive, showing that he has a relationship with the district leaders.

Naturally, Peng Hao was someone who had long been unhappy with his uncle, so he pretended to be surprised when he heard this: "The leader is so busy? It's the 30th year of the Chinese New Year and you still don't rest, and you still want to ask uncle to go to his house to talk about work? "

"Calling, it's not work. Director Wang and I are on a personal relationship..." I don't know if my uncle heard the sarcasm in his tone, anyway, after my uncle dealt with him casually, he turned to Xie Lan.

Seeing the youngest girl in the family, the uncle smiled and said, "Young girl is just here? I told you to come early, it's not like the house can't accommodate..."

It seems that she is concerned about Xie Lan, but she is actually complaining that she is stuck in coming to Jincheng from Dongchuan for dinner, as if she only came here for this meal. This is talking about Hu Lai's mother and others Rusty.

Xie Lan smiled slightly: "It's not the high-speed rail. Is it convenient to go from Dongchuan to Jincheng? It takes 35 minutes by high-speed rail, and Dongchuan is a small town. Counting the time it takes us to go to the train station from home, it may be too long." It’s shorter than the time you’ve been here from home, Big Brother…”

If Peng Hao's previous words can still be regarded as the words of the younger generation, the irony is not too obvious. Well, everyone could understand what Xie Lan meant when she said this—satire her elder brother for putting on airs, and everyone waited for their house. As a native of Jincheng, he came later than the younger sister from the neighboring city.

I was late, but I had to show off my relationship with the leader in front of everyone.

It's obviously a family dinner, and it's the same as a business dinner outside. When you open your mouth and shut your mouth, it's all about leaders, relationships, and connections...who are you going to brag about?

The eldest brother naturally heard the thorns in the younger sister's words, and the smile on his face froze a little. But it just froze a bit,

Just walked past Xie Lan and her husband Hu Lixin.

Hu Lai's cousin Peng Hao, who was watching coldly, couldn't help laughing inwardly when he saw this scene.

If this had been put beforehand, how could it be as simple as a froze smile on his face? I have to make my little aunt and my little aunt hurt all over again...

But now he could only smile and froze for a moment.

Why is this?

Of course, it was because of the family dinner that I told them the real identity of Cousin Hu Lai.

I don't know if my uncle watched that episode of "Character History" later, the filming of that episode was quite exciting!

The eldest brother did not continue to quarrel with the younger sister, but this time the younger sister did not seem to intend to let the elder brother go.

Xie Lan took a few steps forward, walked to the dining table, and said to the eldest brother through a round table that can accommodate twenty people: "Brother, did you bring the IOU?"

Her elder brother, Hu Lai's uncle, was taken aback for a moment: "What IOU?"

"It's the IOU that Lao Hu gave you when you lent us money back then. I have one thing to do this time, which is to pay you back the money. The money has been returned to you, so you have to give us the IOU, right?" Xie Lan looked at it with a smile looking at his elder brother.

Before her elder brother could react, the others in the room, especially her elder sister, reacted first and exclaimed: "Little sister, you have enough money so quickly?"

When they found out that Hu Lixin had borrowed 350,000 yuan, everyone felt that with their family's economic level, it might take many years to pay it back. The eldest brother once teased that when they could pay back the money, maybe 350,000 yuan would only be equivalent to the current 200,000 yuan.

After all, everyone knows the financial situation of the little sister's family. The younger sister was paid a dead salary in a public institution in Dongchuan, and the high was not enough. Her husband, Hu Lixin, worked as a security guard for others, and earned a little more, but it was hard money, and it was very unstable. Maybe one day he would be fired for offending the owner? Even if he is not fired, how long can he work in this job with his body?

From borrowing money to repaying the money, it has only been three and a half years. How can I save 350,000 yuan?

Except for the big brother who is doing business, everyone is a salaryman and knows how difficult it is to save 350,000 yuan.

Xie Lan looked at the surprised people in the room, held his head up and said proudly: "My son, Hu Lai, has signed a new contract with the club. The signing fee alone is enough to pay back the money, and there is still left over!"

The second sister asked in surprise, "What is the signing fee?"

Peng Hao quickly explained to his mother and everyone present: "When a player transfers or renews his contract with the club, he must sign a contract. In order for the player to agree to sign the contract, the club must promise to give the player a contract. A sum of money is used as a reward, and this money is called a signing fee."

After hearing Peng Hao's explanation, everyone exclaimed: "It means the club is begging to give Hu Lai money?"

"Yes, if you don't give me money, my cousin doesn't have to sign." Peng Hao didn't care if the actual situation was like this, anyway, he just kept bragging about his cousin.

Many people in the room are ordinary salarymen, and such a thing is a bit unimaginable to them.

And the uncle who was the most knowledgeable in this room thought that he used to discuss business with people and sign a contract. In order for the other party to agree to sign a contract with his company, he had to give some gifts to treat a guest, and he had to serve the other party well. Only then can we win this deal...

To say that I am also a person who gives people signing fees.

I don't know why, when Peng Hao was explaining, for a moment, he felt that Hu Lai had become the party A who needed him to nod and bow down...

This made the uncle very uncomfortable.

Obviously, in this family, he has always been the most promising and knowledgeable, and he is the object of everyone's stardom. Everyone consults with him for advice on everything. Although his father is still alive, he already has the head of the family. posture.

He enjoyed it very much.

But now, looking at the little girl's understatement with a few words has attracted everyone's admiration and admiration...

He couldn't help snorting: "It's fine to pay back the money, let's calculate the interest first."

He was really angry because there was no mention of interest on the IOU. And everyone knew in their hearts that with the financial situation of the little sister's family, it would be good to be able to repay the principal, so what's the interest?

Xie Lan was not angry when he heard what the elder brother said, but replied loudly with a smile: "No problem, elder brother, let's calculate the interest according to the bank's current interest rate."

Even if there is interest for 350,000, how much can there be? The 400,000 yuan given by my son, plus the money my husband and I have worked so hard to save in the past few years, isn't it enough to pay off the interest?

Seeing this scene, the others frowned, but didn't say anything. After all, it's reasonable to borrow money and repay the interest. If they don't lend you the money, you can put it in the bank for a regular deposit, and there will be an interest of 3.0%. ...

I just think it's a bit careless for the elder brother to say it so directly.

The eldest brother snorted, trying to find fault: "It's not calculated according to bank interest. Who deposits money in the bank these days? Our family's money is used to sell wealth management, and the annualized rate is 30%! I If I hadn't lent you the money, I would have earned 30% of the principal every year for the past three years..."

Peng Hao really couldn't listen to it anymore, he didn't like this uncle in the first place, and at the same time, as a student who just came to Jincheng to go to college and might not stay in Jincheng in the future, he didn't need to worry about uncle at all. The face of the elders, when he heard what the uncle said, he exclaimed again and again: "Isn't it? Uncle, aren't you? Take out the money quickly! Be careful if you delay it! You will lose everything! Thirty percent Annualized rate? Are you not afraid of thunderstorms? Which bastard recommended this wealth management product to you? Let me tell you, uncle, this person is uneasy and kind, not as good as a beast! If you didn’t say it today, I wouldn’t know , if it is later, my cousin's marriage certificate will be gone!"

The cousin standing behind his father turned his head and waited for Peng Hao to take a look. What do you mean, little brother?

"Hao Hao!" Peng Hao's mother finally came back to her senses, and she scolded loudly. As an adult, how could she not understand the ambiguity in Peng Hao's words?

Peng Hao decided to play crazy to the end. Anyway, he has been upset with this uncle for a long time, and today he must let him have a bad year in front of everyone. I suffered grievances from him when I was young, but today I have to forget it together.

So he turned to look at his mother with an anxious expression on his face: "Mom, I'm serious! Go to a regular bank and ask, what is the concept of a 30% annualized rate? No institution dares to promise such a high annualized rate." ! If the uncle really got too much dividends, it can only show that the wealth management product he bought is to support the old users like the uncle by absorbing the blood of those new users. But this kind of demolition How can it be possible for the behavior of paying for the Western Wall to continue? Once the funds of the wealth management company break, it will collapse directly. At that time, how much money uncle invested, I will not get back a penny!"

Then he said to the uncle: "Uncle, really, don't be brave in this kind of thing. For a businessman like you, if the cash flow is gone, it is equivalent to bankruptcy. You may have to pay back when the time comes." Sell ​​the house to pay off the debts... don't talk about my brother's wife, I'm afraid you and your aunt's pension money will all be lost! Jincheng housing prices are so expensive now, if your house is gone, it's impossible to buy it back so easy!"

He spoke very seriously, as if he was really thinking about uncle. But at this time of New Year's Eve, it sounded like he was cursing the uncle's family. First, his elder brother had no money to marry a wife, and then the uncle and aunt didn't even have pension money...

How could uncle, a middle-aged man, fail to understand what his nephew meant? He blushed with anger.

Of course, he didn't buy any wealth management products with an annualized rate of 30%. After all, he is a businessman and not a fool. How could he not know the truths that his nephew said? He just said that casually, asking for a lot of money, wanting to disgust the little girl who was arrogant in front of him.

Unexpectedly, the nephew seized the opportunity to output by face.

In this case, it is impossible for him to say that the financial products with a 30% annualized rate before him are nonsense, right?

So even if his nephew beat around the bush and scolded him, he couldn't retaliate...

I feel so aggrieved and aggrieved.

Why is this little bastard so hateful? Did I provoke you to provoke you? Just fucking chase after me!

Xie Lan also widened his eyes and made up the knife in time: "My brother, why are you so confused? The 30% annualized rate is indeed high, but it is impossible to think of such an annualized rate with a little brain." For a long time... Oh I see, brother, you are not confused, you are not ignorant of the twists and turns behind this, you think you are smarter than others, and you can retreat in time before something happens, right? Brother, this is your fault , you are helping the evildoers! You can't be too greedy..."

Although Hu Lixin never told her how he was humiliated by his elder brother in order to borrow money from him, but based on her understanding of her elder brother, she can more or less guess that it was nothing more than beating her husband. self-esteem and personality.

Just like he used to point at his son and call him a "turtle son" who broke his brother's toys.

Calling my son a "turtle son", bullying others when our family needs money... I will return you the money I borrowed from you, even a penny of the principal and interest, but we have to settle the account today !

Xie Lan has never been a woman who swallows her anger. She was able to directly overturn the table and have a big fight with her father during the Chinese New Year. How could she be weak?

Seeing her husband being flanked by a nephew and a younger sister, the sister-in-law suffered a disadvantage, and stood up to speak for her husband: "Little sister, if you say that, your elder brother..."

Before she finished speaking, Hu Lixin took a step forward, stood beside his wife, and said in a deep voice, "Sister-in-law, it's been so long since siblings, isn't it normal to say a few heartfelt words? As for the family, Xie Lan is also doing it for the benefit of the eldest brother, because he is afraid that he is obsessed with money, and the family does not talk about the two sides, so he speaks so directly, you have to understand. I think we don't care about the things between their brothers and sisters."

What the sister-in-law originally wanted to say was blocked in her throat. She looked at Hu Lixin with incredulous eyes. She really couldn't imagine that the son-in-law from out of town who was always taciturn at Xie's gatherings would dare to speak to herself like this.

Not only the sister-in-law, but also the other brothers and sisters in the room looked at Hu Lixin in surprise.

Many years ago when we were at the dinner table, the eldest brother and sister-in-law looked down on Hu Lixin, and from time to time said a few unpleasant words to stab him, but he kept silent and never dared to refute. Invert the door."

Today... not only him, but also my younger sister Xie Lan today, it feels like their family has been completely reborn.

Only Peng Hao was very happy, wishing to be able to post an emoji in reality: "Well done! Tear more loudly!"

At this moment, Hu Lai and Peng Hao's grandfather, the old father who had been silent in the room, suddenly coughed.

It was only then that everyone suddenly realized that the old father was still alive... How could they quarrel in front of him?

But having said that, did the old father fall asleep just now? Why didn't the younger sister and elder brother come out to say something when they were fighting each other?

Seeing that everyone was quiet, the real head of the family patted the table lightly, looked at Xie Lan and said, "It doesn't matter if it's 30% or only 3%. If the boss wants it, you can give it to him. It should be worth the money with interest.”

Facing his aging father, Xie Lan didn't lift the table this time, but nodded his head: "Don't worry dad, a penny is a lot for a big brother."

After getting Xie Lan's promise, the old father nodded slowly, and said, "I don't want you to pay the interest on my part of the money."

Both Xie Lan and Hu Lixin were stunned.

Dad's part of that money?

They all thought that the money was lent to them by the eldest brother, why is there still father's money in it?

Seeing the two of them like this, especially the ignorant daughter, the old mother standing next to her husband said to her: "Three hundred thousand of the three hundred and fifty thousand miles belong to your father, and he has saved it for decades and plans to use it. retirement."

Peng Hao exclaimed again: "Ah? Isn't it? Isn't it? Is it true that my uncle only paid 50,000 yuan? Hearing how fiercely my uncle yelled, I thought that 350,000 yuan was paid by my uncle! Hey!" !"

In fact, he already knew about this - he heard about it when he attended the Xie family banquet for the first time when he came to Jincheng to go to college and pretended to be aggressive in front of people. The only people present who don't know are probably the little aunt and the little uncle.

The reason why he pretended to hear about it for the first time was just to take the opportunity to make up for his uncle.

Sure enough, the mother who "knows a child like a mother" stretched out her hand and hit him on the back, but she didn't yell at him.

Xie Lan didn't appreciate the big brother who was blushing because of his nephew's words, but stared blankly at his father.

The old man had been sitting on the chair since she came in and hadn't gotten up. He was breathing a little harder after he said a word just now, and he was a little tired.

This person, ten years ago, could still slap the table angrily pointing at his nose and cursing.

The second brother is forty years old, if he doesn't listen to him, he will still slap him, just like hitting a child.

He was the real head of the family then.

Now he is just an old man with age spots on his face, white beard and hair, and walking with a cane.

Xie Lan never thought that 300,000 yuan of the 350,000 yuan borrowed by her husband was the pension money of the father who pointed at her and scolded her to go away.

The eldest brother, who was unable to speak out the words of his younger sister and nephew, finally seized the opportunity to speak at this time. He snorted to Xie Lan: "You think I want to lend you money? I know that in your family's situation, the money is borrowed In all likelihood, don't even think about getting it back... Later, when Dad found out, he filled in all his money and lent it to you in my name..."

The old man patted the table lightly again, making the bowls and plates in front of him jingle: "Don't talk about those who celebrate the Chinese New Year, let the waiter serve the food, it's time for the New Year's Eve dinner."

The whole family, regardless of age, men and women, sat down around a large round table with a bonsai in the middle.

The waiter brought the prepared dishes to the table one by one, and turned on the TV for them intimately. Soon, the sound of toasting and mingling was heard in the room, as well as the designated BGM "Spring Festival Overture" for the Spring Festival.
