Tao Ruoxiang first reprimanded Qin Lang because she thought that Qin Lang was purely accompanying her mother. Then, she reprimanded her mother as well. Although Tao Ruoxiang was usually a "good girl" who listened to her parents, this time she really thought that her mother had gone too far, which really embarrassed her.
"Xiang 'er, your mother is doing this for your own good." Mother Tao looked a little wronged. "Besides, this house is so cheap. You can make a fortune by selling it —"
"Yes, yes, the houses here are really good!" One of Tao Ruoxiang's aunts tried to persuade her. "Xiangxiang, don't stop your mother. Even if you don't buy it, I have to buy one today with my own money. It's a 50% discount. This location, this grade, this price … Tsk tsk, it's like a pie falling from the sky!"
"That's right, Xiangxiang. Anyway, your second aunt has to get one anyway. You're still hoping to get a decent house to get married. In my opinion, you don't know how lucky you are. Now that Little Qin is willing to spend money for you, you have to take advantage of the opportunity — "
"Enough! If you want to buy it, then buy it. Mom, you can't buy it! " Tao Ruoxiang knew that her aunts and aunts wouldn't change their minds. Even nine horses couldn't pull them back. Now, she could only stop her mother from embarrassing her in front of Qin Lang.
"Embarrassing? What's there to be embarrassed about? " Mother Tao said matter-of-factly. "That's why I said that you girls are stupid. You should listen to the thoughts of us experienced people. Now that Little Qin likes you, he is willing to spend money for you, and he is obedient to you, you should treat yourself better. In the future, when all women are old, if he doesn't like you anymore and refuses to spend money for you, and you don't have any capital, how are you going to live? "
"That's right, that's right. Your mother is right!" Tao Ruoxiang's aunts and aunts were all unswervingly standing on the same side as Tao Ruoxiang's mother. Their views were very clear. They all agreed that women should treat themselves better and be more 'ruthless' towards men.
Tao Ruoxiang was speechless. She could only use brutal means to stop her mother. In any case, she would not allow her mother to participate in this boring property speculation game.
After Tao Ruoxiang finished venting, Qin Lang pulled Tao Ruoxiang to the side and said with a smile, "I say, Sister Xiangxiang, there's no need to be so angry. Didn't I tell you before? If you can buy happiness with money, it's actually very worthwhile."
"Even if you want to please my mother, you should know when to stop, right? First it was the jewelry, and now it's the house. Is there an end to this? " Tao Ruoxiang said, "My mother is already snobbish enough, yet you still give in to her. Aren't you deliberately spoiling her?"
"You also know that I'm trying to please your mother, so you shouldn't ruin my good things. I think as long as I please your mother, I will become her son-in-law. Isn't that better? "Qin Lang said in a shameless tone.
"Good, good my ass!" Tao Ruoxiang still objected, "Do you really have so much money that you don't know where to spend it? Or is it that your money came too easily? "
"I used to think that money was a good thing because it's really not easy to make money. But now it's different. Now I realize that it's really easy to make money. But now I think that money is not a good thing."
Qin Lang said seriously, "Nowadays, money is essentially just paper. Putting a pile of money anywhere is just like putting a pile of paper. It's meaningless. Only the poor people will save money like a treasure, and then slowly wait for the money to turn back into paper. On the contrary, the rich will use money like paper to buy things, cars, houses, planes, yachts, and even borrow money from the bank. That's because these people have seen through the essence of money and know that money is just paper. When money really turns into paper, the poor will guard a pile of paper, while the rich will guard a pile of gold, silver, jewelry, real estate, and antiques. "
"I'm talking to you about business, and you're talking to me about economics. Are you deliberately changing the topic?" Tao Ruoxiang snorted, but she felt that Qin Lang's words were not unreasonable. Money is really not a good thing, because its essence is a tool used by the rich to exploit the poor. Just like a classic rumor on the Internet: As long as all the people in the country don't save money, then the rich will immediately go bankrupt and become paupers. Although this rumor has a profound economic truth, the key is that it's impossible for the poor and ordinary people to get out of the misunderstanding of saving money, because the poor and ordinary people naively think that as long as they save money, they can become rich. They don't know that only those who know how to spend money can become truly rich.
"I'm not trying to change the topic, I'm just telling you a simple truth." Qin Lang continued, "I'm just telling you not to care too much about money, whether it's your own money or someone else's money, don't be too concerned about it. You have to remember that the essence of money is paper, and other than that, it's nothing. So, if a pile of paper can be exchanged for the love of your future mother-in-law, there's nothing wrong with that. On the contrary, it's really meaningless to get angry over a pile of paper. "
"From what you've said, the money that a lot of people struggle for is meaningless?" Tao Ruoxiang said, "If everyone thinks that way, maybe all of us police officers will lose our jobs."
"Indeed, it's meaningless, and it seems that only Hua Xia's people in the world work hard for money all their lives. Because of that, the whole world calls us the 'most hardworking people'. In fact, this is not a good reputation, it's clearly a kind of tragedy. Look at those people in other countries. They live to risk their lives, so ordinary people can engage in activities like paragliding, rock climbing, mountain climbing, and so on. On the other hand, the people in our country can only live with their lives on the line, because everyone is worried that if they don't work hard, they won't be able to earn money. It's really sad! "
"Alright, I admit that what you said makes sense," Tao Ruoxiang said, "but …"
"But …" There was no more but after that, because Tao Ruoxiang's lips had been blocked by Qin Lang. To end an argument between men and men, the best way was to fight; to end an argument between men and women, the best way was to block each other's mouths. Once the mouths were blocked, the argument was over.
