A life of financial freedom

Rong Shunji's girlfriend, Wei Caixia, is a little girl from a remote mountainous area. She has a junior high school education and went to work in Shanghai when she was very young.

A few days ago, Wei Caixia told her parents about their relationship, and they were immediately opposed by her parents.

The other party's parents are not unreasonable people. They insist on breaking them up, so they require them to get married within a limited time.

"What? You don't want to get married?" Chu Fang asked.

"Alas!" Hearing this, Rong Shunji sighed, "Her family wants a dowry of 500,000 yuan."

After a pause, he continued, "Wei Caixia has two younger brothers, and her parents are patriarchal. I want to help her younger brothers."

Rong Shunji was born in an ordinary family. His parents are working class. If he sucked his parents' blood dry, he could come up with such a sum of money, but he couldn't do that, so the two broke up.

After understanding the ins and outs, several people fell into silence, especially Wen Xiangbing and Shao Liang, who were more touched.

500,000 yuan is a huge sum of money for a family, let alone a college student who just graduated.

Rong Shunji's eyes showed a bit of disappointment.

"Hey, it's no big deal." Chu Fang patted his friend's shoulder, "It's just 500,000, I'll give it to you."

Rong Shunji rolled his eyes: "Then can you give me 500 million?"

Chu Fang replied crisply: "Okay."

"..." Rong Shunji knew Chu Fang's strength, and swallowed the complaints in his heart. He sighed and said softly: "Thank you Fangzi, you can help me for a while, but you can't help me forever. I'm just an ordinary person. For me, 500,000 is a huge sum of money.

I borrowed 500,000 from you, and I don't know when I can pay you back. And I'm in debt of 500,000. Even if I marry Caixia, she won't have a good life with me."

"Oh, you're still infatuated. At this time, you still consider the other person's quality of life." Wen Xiangbing said jokingly, "It seems that you really like that girl."

Rong Shunji's eyes showed a bit of disappointment.

Chu Fang did not continue the previous topic, but changed the topic and said; "What does the girl Wei Caixia think?"

"She is a simple and conservative girl. She hates her parents' behavior, but she also cares about her parents giving birth to her and raising her. When I broke up with her, she cried and held me tightly." Rong Shunji said while flipping through his phone to show the chat content between the two. "These are the messages she sent me."

In the chat box, Wei Caixia sent a dense text, like a small essay, and Rong Shunji just replied a few perfunctory words like "um, ah, oh." In the end, Rong Shunji directly blocked his girlfriend and deleted her.

The three of them stretched their necks and looked at the messages above. The most common message on the other side was sorry, which contained deep apologies.

"Yes." Chu Fang looked at his friend, then turned back to look at him, "You are still a Sigma man, you blocked him directly."

"I don't have money." Rong Shunji replied sadly, "If I had money, I would have been her licker."

After the story was said, Rong Shunji seemed to have lost the courage to speak, and took the beer and poured it into his stomach one bottle after another.

The other three looked at each other and sighed deeply.

Love is the most hurtful thing in the world, and what hurts more is that there is love but no ability to protect it.

The three of them didn't say much about it, asked the boss for a few boxes of beer, and accompanied the old classmate to get drunk.

Until late at night, Rong Shunji was drunk and lost consciousness.

The three helped Rong Shunji go home. They shared a room. Chu Fang and Wen Xiangbing didn't stay for long. They asked Shao Liang to take good care of Rong Shunji, and the two left immediately.

After leaving home and walking out of the community, Chu Fang shook his head and sobered up a little.

Chu Fang and Wen Xiangbing walked on the side of the road.

"Fangzi, what do you think we should do about this?" Wen Xiangbing lit up a cigarette and took a puff.

"To be honest, in my opinion, the biggest obstacle between them is money. It's easy to solve the money problem." Chu Fang put his hands in his pockets, "But Rongzi is short of money, but he doesn't want to accept my money. I don't know what to do."

For Chu Fang, money is the least important thing, but for friends, it is a solid foundation of life.

Wen Xiangbing smiled: "If I were Rongzi, I wouldn't want to accept your money either."

He sighed, glanced at him and said: "You are just too rich. Houses, cars, money, everything we ordinary people pursue is at our fingertips. We lose to you in material terms, but we don't want to lose in spirit. If he accepts your money with a clear conscience, he will never feel good in his life."

This is Rong Shunji's stubbornness.

Chu Fang was not surprised by this, and said openly: "Then pay interest, 20% interest per year."

"I will report you for usury."Wen Xiangbing rolled his eyes and said slowly: "First, Rongzi should consider whether he can pay you back; second, it is true as he said, he just graduated, and he can barely make a living in Shanghai, not to mention that he has a girl with him, life is very difficult."

Chu Fang kicked the stone on the roadside, feeling upset: "What should I do? Did they really break up?"

Chu Fang could see that Rong Shunji's face showed his love for his girlfriend, and he really wanted to be with that girl.

Wen Xiangbing took out the cigarette, extinguished it and threw it into the trash can: "Find a time to talk to that girl, after all, she is one of the parties involved."

Hearing this, Chu Fang nodded.

The two separated.

... ...

The next day, Chu Fang and Zhong Tingyue went to the studio together.

After hearing what happened last night, Zhong Tingyue took his shoulder and sighed softly: "I didn't expect that in this world there are still sons over daughters, and that daughters' marriage is a transaction. It's unbelievable."

Chu Fang said: "There is nothing new under the sun."

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered an interesting topic, tilted his head and asked Zhong Tingyue: "Ms. Zhong, when we got married, your parents didn't allow us to be together, and asked me for a high betrothal gift. What should you do? Let me make it clear first, I don't have money, I can't pay 500,000."

"You don't even want to pay 500,000, Mr. Chu, you don't love me at all." Zhong Tingyue said.

"You are also obsessed with money, right?"

"I can't help it, I worship money." Zhong Tingyue said very righteously.

After a pause, his face became more serious, and he pondered for a moment: "Let me first state the conclusion, it's impossible. My parents love money but they get it in a proper way. I don't have a brother, only a sister, and I know exactly how much money you have in your pocket. You can't afford so much money, so you don't have to spend a lot of effort."

"I think, when we get married, I have to prepare more dowry. By the way, why don't you just marry into my Zhong family."

Zhong Tingyue is really bold... ... Chu Fang thought about it: "Marrying into my family is fine, but you can't beat me or scold me, you can only love me, you have to spoil me, you can't lie to me, you have to do everything you promised me, and you have to be sincere in every word you say to me..."

Zhong Tingyue rolled his eyes at him: "Mr. Chu, you are so bold that you have the guts to think."

"Hehe..." Chu Fang waved his hand and said proudly: "On the day we get married, I will give you a betrothal gift of 500 million."

"Come on, you produced that 500 million yourself." Zhong Tingyue looked at him with disdain.

"..."
