Chapter 301: Money Not for Lending
Whenever Lin Mei thought of Lin Shu having a million US dollars in his hands, she felt uncomfortable all over, and the fire of jealousy made her heart suffer.
Her eyes were red with jealousy, and she tried hard to hold back some tears. Her expression changed instantly, and she begged pitifully, "Shushu, can't you have pity on me and help me just this once? You know how hard it is to make a name for yourself in a provincial capital where you are unfamiliar with the place. I have redoubled my efforts to climb up, and I am not afraid of hardships. I just want to live a better life through my own efforts. Can't you fulfill my little wish?"
"A few drops of crocodile tears can't move me, so don't waste your feelings here. I don't want to see your performance." Lin Shu didn't want to be soft-hearted towards his enemy in his previous life. "Putting aside your calculations against me, my own brothers and sisters don't care about my money. Why do you think that you will definitely lend it to you if you care about me?"
"Just because you have a big face?"
funny!
In later generations, the one who owes money is often the eldest son, and the creditor who lends money is often the grandson.
She dared to guarantee that once she lent the money to Lin Mei, it would be like throwing meat buns at a dog and never come back.
"If it weren't for your help, would your brothers and sisters have been able to gain a foothold in the city? You helped them in the beginning, so why aren't you willing to lend a hand to me now?" Lin Mei hated them secretly in her heart, but she still looked pitiful on her face, with only the dead silence of someone who had suffered the hardships of life in her eyes.
It seemed as if she had lost hope in her current life. If she had not been determined, she might have been moved by her dead silence.
"I've already said it. I won't help you. If you really want to make it in the city, you can just keep your feet on the ground and take one step at a time. Do as much as you can. If you don't have money, don't even think about relying on others for everything."
Lin Shu opened the door and said, "Please, don't come to my house anymore. You are not welcome here. Of course, it would be best if we never see each other again."
The words were already very heartless. Lin Shu thought that Lin Mei would not bother her again after leaving home.
It's just that some things are always unexpected.
Within two days, Lin Shu received a call from his eldest brother.
"Brother, why are you calling at this time? Is someone causing trouble in the store?"
Lin Shu couldn't figure it out and was wondering, this was the busiest time in the store, why did Lin Wei call?
"......" After a moment of silence, Lin Wei spoke with a helpless tone: "Youngest, I heard Mei Zi said that she wanted to borrow some money from you to open a store, but you didn't agree. You said that you wouldn't lend it to her because no one guaranteed it?"
Where did this begin?
Lin Shu was confused, "Brother, what do you mean by that? Lin Mei went to your store, what did she say afterwards?"
"She wanted to borrow money from me. I've only had my shop in the provincial capital for less than two years. All the money I earned was used to buy the yard, and then I paid for the shop. How could I have any money left?"
Lin Wei glanced at Lin Mei who was standing next to the counter, his face full of helplessness and a little irritation, "She saw that I had no money, so she wanted me to borrow from you, and then lend it to her from me. From what she said, she wanted me to guarantee her money."
Lin Shu was shocked for a long time before closing his mouth, "She must be crazy!"
"When did I agree to lend her money and ask for a guarantee?"
Lin Wei was a little confused after hearing what was said on the other end of the phone. "So you mean I don't need to find a guarantor to lend her the money?"
Lin Shu rolled his eyes: "She and I would rather die than have anything to do with each other, do you think I would agree to lend her money?"
"then you......"
"Tell her that if she has the ability, she can open her own shop. If she doesn't have the ability, she can just run a stall honestly. Don't act like everyone owes her something. She has no right to care about my money!"
There was a "click" and a dead tone came from the phone.
Lin Wei hung up the phone, looked at Lin Mei standing next to him, and shrugged: "You heard what she said, I won't repeat it, I really don't have any money. You have lived in the provincial capital for a while, you should know how difficult it is to survive in the provincial capital."
"Brother, you are the only relatives I have in the provincial capital. Are you really not going to help me this time? We will pay you back as soon as we make money. Can I only lend it to you for one month? I will definitely pay you back after one month."
"I said I have no money. Do you want me to cut my own flesh for you?" Lin Wei was a little annoyed.
He hates entanglements the most. He said he had no money, so why couldn't he explain it when he met Lin Mei?
She had saved some money not long after marrying Zhang Yong. Since that was not enough to open a store, they would work hard to save for another two months.
He didn't believe that the little money he saved for two months would not be enough. Why should he always ask for help?
"Brother, if you don't want to lend it to me, then don't lend it to me. Why do you have to say such harsh words? It's as if I'm sucking your blood."
Lin Mei felt extremely unhappy after hearing what he said. How come people have become so snobbish after only being in the city for such a short time?
They look down on her because she has no money, no power and no status. If one day she becomes successful, just wait and see how they will curry favor with her.
Don't expect her to pay attention to them then.
Lin Wei didn't know what Lin Mei was thinking, so he tried to get rid of Lin Mei's entanglement.
His eyes rolled and an idea came to his mind. "What I said is the truth. We really have no money at the moment. How about you send a telegram back to ask Second Aunt to borrow some money for us to make ends meet?"
"My parents work in the fields every day, how can they have any savings? And even if they have some money, what can they do with it?"
After finally sending Lin Mei away, Lin Wei breathed a sigh of relief. It was so hard for him.
It's really difficult for me as the eldest brother when my cousins don't get along with each other.
There were no new guests at the inn at the moment. After collecting the bill, He Caiyun came over and asked with concern, "What did my sister say?"
Lin Wei scratched his head: "They are incompatible. I wish I could never have anything to do with her again. How could I possibly lend her money?"
He Caiyun glanced at the door and whispered, "In that case, we can't lend money to Mei Zi anymore. You have to distinguish between close and distant relatives. Don't be too kind and go against my little sister and make her angry."
"I know that, and I'm telling the truth. I don't have much money."
What was not mentioned was that Lin Wei saved some money to be used as working capital for the store and to save money for his son to get married.
With their current conditions, they don’t have the money to borrow.
Unless it is a matter of life and death, nothing can come before one's own livelihood and son.
He Caiyun nudged Lin Wei with her elbow and said, "Hey, do you think it's possible that Meizi couldn't borrow money from us and went to borrow money from the second and third brothers?"
Lin Wei was stunned for a moment: "...It's possible."
He Caiyun became anxious when she heard this, and hurriedly urged: "Then you should quickly call the second and third brothers and ask them to be careful."
Compared with Lin Mei, her brothers are naturally closer to her. She would never let her brothers suffer any loss.
Lin Wei was also panicked for a moment, and then he picked up the phone and remembered, "The second and third brothers' stores haven't installed telephones yet."
He Caiyun was so angry at Lin Wei's nagging that she slapped him and said, "Then hurry up and ride over to say hello, so that they can have an idea. Don't end up losing money and offending my little sister."
"Hey, hey, hey, I'll go right away, don't worry."
Lin Wei reacted, picked up the bicycle key and walked out quickly.
