"When I was young, my family was poor. We lived in the countryside. Back then, we didn't get paid and had to go to the cafeteria to eat. We had two sets of clothes a year, sewing and mending, and had a simple meal. Let me tell you something you don't know. Your grandmother actually gave birth to many children. The first was twins, but they died a few days after they were born. The second was your mother. Before me, there were two more, an older brother and an older sister. But they didn't survive because their lives were too hard. Otherwise, your mother and I wouldn't be so different in age. Your grandfather had a strong personality. He was afraid of being poor and suffering. Later, he pulled some strings and entered a state-owned enterprise. As for myself, I was educated and became a production model for a few years. After many twists and turns, I was assigned to Shanghai. Later, I slowly climbed up the ranks and became a small leader.
"The sentence that left the deepest impression on me was: 'If you don't work hard, you'll always be a bumpkin. If you don't work hard, you'll never get a wife.' He always said that to me. It's not that he looked down on farmers. He was one himself. It's just that the farmers back then had no way out. They just had to make ends meet. "
Qin Ze thought to himself, 'Grandpa is so inspirational.'
"Your grandfather also said that although that bastard Qin Jianzhang looked serious and was evil on the surface, his character was passable. As a family, conflicts are inevitable, but don't forget to support and support each other."
He didn't expect his grandfather to affirm his grandfather's character. He remembered his grandfather saying that after he got Qin Ma pregnant, his grandfather called him a despicable scum.
In fact, his uncle did often come to visit him and his sister with gifts.
"After he handed over the business to me, I ran around every day for a few years, receiving and delivering goods. Sometimes, I only slept for four hours a day. It was tiring, but it was fulfilling. I felt that my son, who didn't have any education, was quite promising. He successfully took over my family business and guarded it well. "Until 2008, I didn't know why, but I kept losing money. Not only did my efforts go down the drain, but I also lost nearly a million. Your grandfather also fell sick at that time. He lay in bed and said to me, 'Don't be discouraged. Dad just started the business, and it wasn't always smooth sailing. Just treat it as your tuition. Actually, you've been doing well these few years. It's good that you can suffer a little.' "
"2008 … economic crisis?" Qin Ze frowned.
However, as an ordinary person, the economic crisis did not affect him much. Moreover, he was still young, so he did not feel much.
"Yes, at that time, I was young and full of vigor. Even if the market was not doing well, I could still make a name for myself and prove my ability. That's what I was thinking, and then … I lost out again. "
How miserable!
"Later on, I gradually couldn't stop myself. I would enter whatever industry people said would sell well. I would invest in whatever industry was good. In the end, most of the goods went to waste, and the financial deficit made me almost desperate. In just over a year, I had squandered almost all of our savings. At that time, I was very haggard. My father was also haggard. His illness gradually worsened. He advised me to stabilize for a while and observe the situation. But I didn't listen. I was already crazy. A friend told me that he found a good project that would definitely make money. He just needed a partner … "
"And then, you were deceived by him." Qin Ze said.
He knew about this incident. In fact, it left a deep impression on him. Qin Ma cried at home for a long time. Not long after, Qin Ze saw his uncle in the hospital. He felt that his uncle had completely collapsed. He was no longer that handsome uncle.
"You still remember." His uncle smiled awkwardly. "Yes, our last hope was gone. Not long after this incident, your grandfather passed away."
Then, his uncle began a carefree and unrestrained life. He began to indulge in all kinds of debauchery.
Qin Ze thought to himself, 'Perhaps the blow was too great, and he gave up on himself.'
"Before your grandfather passed away, he grabbed my hand and said a lot of things. He didn't blame me. Instead, he smiled and said that it was fine. Just treat it as starting over. As long as you were willing to work hard, your life would get better and better. Don't be defeated by a single setback." His uncle chuckled. He was clearly smiling, but Qin Ze felt that he was crying.
"Even when I was such a good-for-nothing, he didn't scold me."
"I thought, 'There's no reason why I can't get up. If my business fails, I can make a comeback. If I don't have the funds, I'll gamble, I'll borrow. If I fail once or twice, I'll succeed. But … there's no hope. There's really no hope at all. I lose more and more, and the debt I owe more and more. "
"I can't accept this …"
"A few million, such a high starting point …"
"But I still owe more and more. It's been more than ten years …"
"It doesn't make sense. It really doesn't make sense."
Qin Ze was silent.
"All these years, I've been thinking, 'If it weren't for that, if it weren't for me, my dad might have lived a few more years. My mom doesn't blame me, neither does my sister, but I can't get over myself. ' 'Such a good family, such a rich family, my dad's life's work. Five years, five years, I squandered it all.' 'Every Qingming Festival, I don't dare to visit the grave. I'm afraid.' 'I thought,' Sooner or later, I'll live a glorious life. When that time comes, I'll go and see him again. I'll go and see him in glory. '"
This man, who was almost forty years old, squatted on the ground with a cigarette in his mouth, crying like a fool.
Qin Ze's heart skipped a beat. 'So that's how it is. Whether it's gambling, trading in stocks, or taking all kinds of risks in the eyes of others, they're all just trying to get back what they've lost.'
The death of his grandfather back then was a bigger blow to him than he had imagined. He felt that everything was because of him. He was the one who broke his father's heart, and he was the one who pushed the family from riches to poverty.
His uncle was trapped in his own knot. He was too ashamed to face his father and elders in Jiangdong, so he had been wandering outside. He had a home, but he didn't want to come back because he felt that he wasn't qualified to come back and see his late father.
But after so many years, he still hadn't succeeded.
Instead, he became a scum in the eyes of his relatives and friends, a good-for-nothing!
Qin Ze's heart was filled with mixed feelings. He sighed and said, "So, if you want to make a comeback, you have to grow up wretchedly and not wander around everywhere."
Xu Guang: "…"
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the sadness brewing in his uncle's heart suddenly disappeared by more than half.
"In this world, there are many people who go bankrupt, and even more prodigals. Many people are unwilling to give up and want to make a comeback. But in reality, hard work isn't enough. If hard work is useful, what's the use of being a genius? "Qin Ze poured poisonous chicken soup for him." Success can't be separated from opportunity, vision, and talent. Only a genius like me can have the last laugh. "
"Uncle, if you want to believe me, just wait." Qin Ze said, "Business opportunities aren't so easy to grasp. You've been out there for so many years, so you should understand this. I have an investment company under my name, and this year, I'll start to survey the industry. If possible, I can help you fly. "
His uncle didn't reply. He lit a cigarette for himself, but he didn't smoke. He sat there in a daze and calmed himself down.
Qin Ze didn't say anything and just accompanied him.
After being exposed to the cold wind for a long time, his uncle sighed and said, "I feel better after spitting out all the words in my heart. If you didn't find someone to beat me up today, I wouldn't have said all these to you. No matter what, I'm still your uncle. I can't show my weak side in front of my nephew. A man has to maintain a strong image."
Qin Ze chuckled and said, "Don't talk about me. Your image is already gone in front of your own children."
His uncle kicked him and scolded jokingly, "Get lost, I deserve to be beaten. I'm still your uncle, after all. I doted on you when you were young. Don't you know how to be gentler when you hit people?"
"Oh right, how did you know that I'm in cahoots with them?" Qin Ze thought for a long time and felt that something was wrong. Could it be just from a glance? If his uncle had such astuteness, he wouldn't have been so weak for so many years.
"Isn't that obvious? I saw you hitting them upstairs. When I turned around, they hit me, and you stood there pretending to be a coward. I'm not stupid," his uncle said angrily.
"So that's how it is …"
Begging for a bean sack!
What do you mean you saw me upstairs? Could it be that everything I did downstairs was seen by my uncle upstairs?
Why are you standing by the window in the middle of winter? If you want to jump, please go to the rooftop.
If my uncle saw it, then did my grandma, dad, mom, aunts, sister, and cousins all see it?
F * ck!
I'm really done for!
Qin Ze sat in the cold wind, his body weathering inch by inch.
Inexplicably, a song floated in his mind: Let the autumn wind take away my thoughts, take away my tears ~
