Chapter 28 You're losing money hand over fist!
"I'm not bragging, but I really know how to raise children. At least my child is obedient and sensible, doesn't gamble, doesn't do drugs, and is considerate of his family." Chen's mother said, proudly raising her head.
It was getting late, and it was time to go back and cook. Deng Xiuzhen said goodbye to Chen Ma.
Chen Ma was still reluctant to leave, but she couldn't persuade Deng Xiuzhen to stay any longer. She simply told Deng Xiuzhen to come and visit more often.
Walking down the street, Deng Xiuzhen hesitated: Should she tell Tian Guoqiang what she had just heard?
If you don't tell him, the old man was able to give orders to seize your property and have your child kidnapped last time. Even if he wasn't someone you knew or someone close to you, he must have had some interaction with you or be familiar with someone you had interacted with.
Although the child was rescued, the danger remains.
Things have been calm lately, perhaps because the crackdown on child trafficking is in full swing, or perhaps because my family is very poor after I was scammed.
So they lay low, or temporarily didn't list their home as a target.
However, since I was reborn, I know some things that will happen in the future and can seize some opportunities to make money.
For example, if things stop making money next year, we can have Qin Yanlin work on building houses, or hire people to build houses. If he does well, he could definitely become a real estate developer. Even if he doesn't do well, he can still make a lot of money.
For example, if I make money in the next few years, I will buy those dilapidated houses. I know which areas will be demolished in the future, so I will buy them and become a demolition rich man in the future.
That's sure to make you rich!
That old man is like a vicious wolf. If I become rich, will that wolf come out and bite me? Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle. I wish I could beat them to death with a stick right now to prevent future trouble.
But if I tell Tian Guoqiang, and he goes to interrogate Chen Guohu or investigate again but fails to catch the old man and his gang, won't they retaliate against me?
Moreover, this Chen Ma looks like a key member of an "intelligence station".
Although I don't know much about intelligence stations in this life, I saw too many on Douyin and WeChat in my past life.
They can spread the word that a chicken died at one end of the village and it becomes that a person was killed at the other end.
Who knows if what they say is true or not, or if it can be taken seriously?
After much deliberation, Deng Xiuzhen decided to keep quiet for the time being and wait until she had more contact with the people near Chen Guohu's house and learned more about the situation before reporting it.
Having made her decision, she hurried home to clean and cook.
Just as I finished cooking, I heard the children chattering. A little while later, Qin Yanlin also returned.
Deng Xiuzhen brought the food to the table, set out chopsticks, served rice to everyone, and then turned to call the children to eat.
Seeing the children chatting happily, she suddenly remembered what Chen Ma had said: "Spoiling a child is like killing a child. If you spoil a child too much, they're useless. Don't think that doing more for your child means you're good to them, or that they'll become successful or filial. Let me tell you, that's raising an ungrateful wretch!"
Look, Guohu was ruined by his father. If Old Chen hadn't spoiled the kid so much, would Guohu have become such a troublemaker? That kid is very smart. If he had been properly taught, he might have achieved great things.
As a result, he was spoiled by Lao Chen and became lawless.
Let me tell you: You need to cultivate your children's habit of doing things for themselves. This will not only develop their life skills but also help them understand your efforts and hard work. That way, they will be grateful and won't take everything you do for granted…
Deng Xiuzhen recalled her past life: In the first half of her life, she and Qin Yanlin were busy doing business. Although they often educated their children, they mostly taught them social experience and common sense. As for housework, the two of them took care of it.
After Qin Yanlin's death, fearing the psychological impact on her child, she devoted herself even more to her child.
Is this the root of their habit of giving?
With this in mind, Deng Xiuzhen made a decision: she couldn't let her children reap the rewards without sowing; she had to teach them to do things and to give back.
After finishing his meal, Qin Yanlin prepared to go out for a run. Deng Xiuzhen didn't clean up the dishes herself as usual, but instead said to the children, "Wenjing, Wenxin, you wash the dishes and tidy up the table."
Wenjing said as if by conditioned reflex, "Mom, I still have books to memorize."
Then Wenxin said, "Mom, I haven't finished my homework yet."
Before Deng Xiuzhen could speak, Qin Yanlin came over and quickly cleared away the dishes, saying, "Jingjing and Xinxin, you go study. Xiuzhen, are you tired this morning? Take a rest if you're tired. I'll wash the dishes."
Deng Xiuzhen looked on and understood something.
Some things really do need to be pointed out. Look, these two kids are clearly trying to avoid doing chores.
Qin Yanlin seems to spoil his child too much.
The children's problems were actually quite prominent, but their parents in their past lives were completely unaware of them.
It seems this needs to be corrected!
However, Yanlin probably hasn't realized this problem yet, so let's wait and discuss it with him when we have time.
The next day, Qin Yanlin went to run errands again, while Deng Xiuzhen went to see the craftsman repairing the roof. As soon as Deng Xiuzhen arrived, Chen Ma rushed out of the house. It was so sudden that Deng Xiuzhen was startled and almost kicked her.
"Xiuzhen, you're here so early! Have you had breakfast yet?" Before Chen Ma had even stood still, her warm greeting had already arrived.
"I've eaten, how about you?" Deng Xiuzhen quickly replied, not daring to offend such a key member of the intelligence team.
"Has the master not arrived yet? Have you agreed on the price? How much is it?"
"Yes, the driver said it would cost him 100 yuan, including everything."
"That's too expensive! Why didn't you ask me?" As Chen Ma was speaking, she saw the two craftsmen approaching and quickly stopped talking to greet them, "You're here, craftsmen! So early! Xiuzhen said you're very nice people and your prices are fair. Do you build houses? My son is planning to build a house, and we'll hire you then."
"If you need help building a house, just call us. We're here..." the two workers responded enthusiastically.
Deng Xiuzhen didn't say anything, but silently memorized the address the two masters gave her, thinking that if Qin Yanlin changed careers next year and needed people, she could look for these people.
"Xiuzhen, come to my house. I'll boil some hot water for you. Master will be thirsty and will want to drink some water later."
"No need, I'll cook it myself..."
"Why are you being so polite, child?" Chen Ma tugged at Deng Xiuzhen and winked at her.
Deng Xiuzhen didn't want to go over because she could imagine what Chen Ma would say. But she couldn't refuse, and she also wanted to ask Chen Ma more questions, so she had no choice but to go into Chen Ma's house.
Sure enough, as soon as they entered, Chen Ma said, "You child, how could you offer such a high price? Aren't you just being taken for a fool?" She peeked outside and asked, "I forgot to ask you last time, how much did you pay for this house?"
Deng Xiuzhen realized that Chen Ma's apparent concern for her was merely superficial; in reality, she wanted to gather information. And regardless of whether she gained or lost, Chen Ma would always claim she had lost.
Since that's the case, I might as well make her happy, since I won't lose anything anyway, so I tried to say as high as possible: "Sixteen thousand".
