Author: Chengxia MACHINE TRANSLATION
The place to receive the prize was in Mingli City, which was even bigger than city A. Father Xia directly led Xia Junhuang to take a taxi. The journey took about two hours to arrive at the place to receive the prize money.
Xia Junhuang did not interfere much with Father Xia’s fully armed and even wearing a mask. After all, under the watchful eyes of the public, five million was not a small amount for an ordinary person. In order to not be disturbed by unnecessary people in the future, it was also good to do this.. At least their identities would not be exposed.
Fortunately, their confidentiality measures were well done. No one followed or robbed them. In the end, under Xia Junhuang’s suggestion, the money was deposited into mother Xia’s account.
The next morning, the family packed up neatly and went to Mingli city together. They bought a Volkswagen SUV. Once they bought this car, it caused quite a stir. Naturally, they knew their own family background better than their relatives Even their friends knew a little about it. They were all employees of state-owned enterprises and their conditions were basically the same. Even if there was a difference, it would not be too bad. This Xia family suddenly bought a good car with more than 200,000 yuan. Wouldn’t it attract people to investigate?
Therefore, after a discussion, the family decided to tell the public that they had won the lottery. However, they only said that they had won a million yuan. After buying the car, they took out 600,000 yuan to open a very stylish western-style restaurant for mother Xia, who had no work to do. This restaurant had a total of two floors Each floor was at least 300 square meters.
In 2005, there were very few western-style, elegant and stylish restaurants like this one in City A. Therefore, Xia Junhuang thought that this would definitely be a market. Even if the business was not good, it would be good to pass time for her mother.
When Xia Junhuang’s parents saw that Xia Junhuang had made this decision, they initially wanted to reject it. However, thinking that the money was obtained by the child himself, she only spent 600,000 yuan. Moreover, it was for her mother. At that time, even if they lost money, they would still have money Therefore, they did not reject it.
As for the House, Xia Junhuang’s parents still decided not to buy it first. They would buy it after the restaurant was opened. At that time, it could be said that they had earned some money by opening the restaurant.
They quickly found the storefront, paid the rent for three years, and found a renovation company in this area. Then, they started construction.
Just as they were done, the Xia family welcomed the first relative who came after hearing the news.
The first one who came to visit was naturally Duan Qing, the aunt who lived in the city with mother Xia’s biological sister.
“Ah Yun, I heard from my friends in the Mahjong Room that your family has a million yuan? Is that true? ” Duan Qing then sat down and hurriedly asked Mother Xia.
Mother Xia nodded with a smile and said apologetically, “yes, but I’ve been a little busy these two days, so I didn’t call you to tell you about it. I thought it wouldn’t be too late to wait until the new year when I return to my hometown. ”
“What are you busy with? A MILLION! This is a big prize. You should call your brothers and sisters to have a good meal together, ” Duan Qing shouted exaggeratedly, her eyes filled with envy.
“Junhuang, this child, insisted on letting me open a restaurant. I’ve been busy with renovations these past few days, so I’m a little busy. I’ll call everyone in a while. When the children are all resting on the weekend, all of them will be called over to the city. I’ll treat them to a good meal. ”
Mother Xia replied happily. These two days of joy made her look even more radiant and beautiful. Seeing this, Duan Qing felt a wave of envy. Her eyes rolled, and Xia Junhuang, who was at the side, knew what she wanted to say.
“Your family is rich now, and your elder sister is still short of 30,000 yuan. Why don’t you lend me some? It’s better to be short of one’s own people than to be short of others. You still have to look at the other person’s face. ”
Mother Xia’s expression froze, and she glanced at Xia Junhuang Seeing her nod, she smiled and replied, “that’s easy to say. After the store opens, there won’t be much money left. It’s only 50,000 to 60,000 yuan. Then I’ll lend you 30,000 yuan. You take it and return it to the other person. I’ll leave the remaining 20,000 yuan for Junhuang to go to school. ”
Duan Qing’s face lit up with joy. She smiled so much that her mouth couldn’t close. She hurriedly nodded her head. “That’s right, that’s right. I’ll leave some for Junhuang to go to school. Eh… Junhuang? You’re not going to school today? ”
Duan Qing looked at Xia Junhuang, who had been silent all this while. Only then did she realize that something wasn’t right. Today was Thursday, so logically speaking, she should be in school right now?
Xia Junhuang smiled faintly. “I’m taking a leave of absence these few days. I plan to study hard at home and participate in the middle school examination. ”
“PARTICIPATE IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL EXAMINATION? ” “Didn’t your mother say that you don’t plan to participate in the Middle School examination? Why do you want to participate now? ” “Our family is already rich, so why are you taking the exam? Ah Yun, you don’t have to take the exam since the child doesn’t want to take it. Anyway, you’re going to open a restaurant. Why don’t you just let her take over when the time comes? Why worry about not having a job in the future? ”
Duan Qing didn’t think much of it. She was already rich, so why was she still studying? Anyway, Junhuang’s grades weren’t good, so there was no need to waste money. She could just go to the restaurant to help in the future.
Xia Junhuang didn’t say anything. She really had nothing to say to her aunt, who had a low education, was a bully who was afraid of evil, and liked to take advantage of others. If it weren’t for the fact that she wasn’t a bad person, she wouldn’t have had any more dealings with her.
She hadn’t seen her family since the end of the last world. It seemed that she couldn’t escape the fate of being reduced to Zombie food… …
Two days after she finished eating with her relatives on mother Xia’s side, her relatives on Father Xia’s side came to look for her. Xia Junhuang, her mother, and her father’s family weren’t on good terms. Although the two families were from the same village, they would go back every new year Xia Junhuang and her mother wouldn’t go to the Xia family. Instead, they stayed at the Duan family for the holidays.
This time, they were undoubtedly jealous that their family had made a fortune. They wanted to push the responsibility of taking care of their old age onto Father Xia, the only son, so that they could bring the old man to live in the city.
Because of this, after the people left, Father Xia and mother Xia quarreled again. Father Xia was moved. He wanted to buy a big house and bring the old man over to live with them. Mother Xia immediately scolded him.
“Why should I accept it? This money is obtained by the daughter, not yours. Moreover, if you want to accept it, then I will accept it too! If you are not here, I will let Junhuang take the money and not buy a house. I want to see where you will bring them to live! ”
Father Xia also turned hostile. He said with a straight face, “those are my parents. I am their only son. Now that I have money, what’s wrong with bringing them over to enjoy a peaceful life? ! ”
“ONLY SON Do they treat you as their only son What’s good about not being attached to those three girls? Who Cares about you as a son? When they got married, they didn’t pay a single cent. They even had to borrow money to buy a television When those three sisters-in-law got married, they gave away refrigerators and color tvs. They didn’t get anything, yet you still care about them!”
“Enough! What’s the point of bringing up the past! ”
Xia Junhuang listened to the quarrel between the two of them, but she thought that if this matter was not resolved, when the apocalypse came, it would probably cause a lot of trouble. She didn’t have any kinship with her father’s side, so she didn’t want to add to the burden.
Who asked her to remember that her grandparents disliked her and treated her coldly. They even scolded her behind her father’s back, and they were not good to her mother. After all, her mother was not the daughter-in-law that they had taken a fancy to So when her mother first got married and lived in the village, she suffered a lot behind her back. It was only after she gave birth to her that she moved to the city, so she did not have to suffer the anger of that family.
Unfortunately, her father was a stupid filial son. The more her grandparents treated him badly, the more he wanted to treat them well. Every year and festival, he would buy everything. He did not care how the people there treated him as an outsider, and they would send all the good things there… …
“enough, stop arguing. ” Xia Junhuang spoke indifferently to stop them.
Her faint voice clearly did not have much strength, but it forcefully stopped the two of them from arguing. Father Xia felt a chill run down his spine when he saw his daughter’s indifferent face. There was a trace of a faintly discernible sternness in her cold eyes It actually made his scalp go numb.
Xia Junhuang lowered her eyes. She had already tried her best to suppress the murderous aura on her body. This appearance was already the best she could do.
“GRANDPA and grandma have lived in the village for many years. If we bring them to the city, they won’t be used to it. Once the restaurant opens, mom won’t have the time to take care of the family. When that time comes, who will take care of them when they move in “If they continue to live in the village, at least my aunt’s family will be able to take care of them. Besides, GRANDPA still has his retirement salary. His life is at least richer than before we won the lottery. He doesn’t need us to subsidize him. ”
