Kneeling in front of my wife’s tombstone and crying bitterly, I was reborn

Shen Qiansan rarely saw his mother-in-law being so serious. He was slightly puzzled, then sat down as she said and asked, "Mom, what do you want to say?"

Luo Rong did not speak immediately. She bent sideways, picked up a tightly wrapped small package from the ground, handed it over, and then said, "Take this."

"What?" Shen Qiansan took over and asked.

As he spoke, he opened the small package and immediately saw several neatly arranged stacks of blue banknotes inside.

Shen Qiansan suddenly remembered what his father-in-law said when he left the study yesterday. He smiled bitterly, handed the small bag back to his mother-in-law, and said, "Mom, you really don't need this."

Luo Rong didn't take it, and said solemnly: "Just take it if I give it to you."

The tone brooks no excuse.

Shen Qiansan felt warm in his heart and said with a smile: "Mom, I really don't need it. I have money. Besides, this should be Shubao's money, right!"

Luo Rong nodded and confessed, "Yes, last time the company gave him a commission, he took the money back and gave it all to me. The total was more than 80,000 yuan."

"I had deposited it in the bank, and I asked your father to take it out again this morning."

"I've heard you say you have so many things to do these days. It costs money everywhere. Although this amount of money is not much, it will be wasted in our hands. You can use it first."

Having said this, he paused and continued: "Although this is Shubao's money, I can make the decision. Besides, he won't object."

Chen Wentao also said, "This money is also considered as you giving it to him. He won't object. Your mother gave it to you, so just take it."

Shen Qiansan glanced at the two elderly people and said sincerely, "Dad, Mom, thank you for trusting me, but you really don't need this money, and you don't need to keep it in the bank. Shubao gave it to you, you should use it and spend it. In the future, he will give you more and more money, so this little bit is not a big deal."

Chen Wentao said unhappily, "How can we, two old men and women, spend so much money?"

Luo Rong also said: "Yes, now you are in charge of everything we eat and use. Even if we want to spend money, we have nowhere to spend it, so you should take it. At least it can be useful if you take it."

Shen Qiansan knew that what his father-in-law and mother-in-law said were all from their true feelings.

This era, or the people of this era, have all come through hard times, and the genes of frugality and simplicity are engraved in their bones. They do not covet enjoyment, and even if they have already lived a good life, they will not squander.

As long as they have some money, they will still spend it carefully and save as much as possible.

This is different from young people in later generations.

Perhaps it is the influence of the traditional idea that one wants his sons to be successful and his daughters to be outstanding, or perhaps it is because the parents' generation felt that they had suffered enough, so they treat their children with the utmost care and do not let them suffer at all.

Especially since the crackdown on excessive births began in 1981, it has become rare to see a couple giving birth to five, six, seven or eight children. The vast majority of couples have only two children or even only one child.

As the number of children in a family gradually decreases, children have a larger share of family resources. In addition, the economy continues to develop. After entering the era of the only child, children not only do not have to endure much hardship, they are even spoiled.

Young people who grow up in such an environment cannot understand or empathize with what it means to be frugal, let alone save.

In addition, the era they lived in was open, and various financial policies were inclusive. Under the deliberate guidance of the cultural packaging of capital, pre-consumption became a fashion. The young people of later generations spent money if they had it, and would borrow money if they didn't. The main purpose was to enjoy themselves, and squandering became a habit.

Shen Qiansan had witnessed that period of history. While he was sighing in his heart, he was also full of respect for the character of the two elders. He thought about it, did not insist, and said: "How about this, I will accept this money, and it will be considered as Shubao's investment in the leather shoe factory!"

Wang Jianlin, Zhao Hanyu, Lu Xiaoyi, and Zhou Xiaozhou all have shares to varying degrees in the several industries he is currently planning. They are not relatives yet, but Chen Shubao, his brother-in-law, does not have any shares yet.

Since his father-in-law and mother-in-law insisted so much, he simply went with the flow and gave some shares of the future shoe factory to his brother-in-law.

After hearing this, Chen Wentao frowned and said, "The money is given to you for your use. Why would you want shares with such a small amount of money?"

He heard from Shen Qiansan that it would cost 50 million to buy a state-owned leather shoe factory, and that was just the purchase cost. More money would be needed to resume production at the leather shoe factory. He didn't know how much Shen Qiansan would invest, but he estimated it would not be a small amount.

Faced with such a huge amount of money, the 80,000 yuan they offered was less than one percent of it.

How much shares can I buy with this little money?

A few thousandths?

It’s better not to occupy it.

But Shen Qiansan said: "It's settled. I'll go out for a while and come back to cook."

As he said this, he picked up the small bag containing 80,000 yuan and stood up.

Luo Rong said, "Just take care of your business first, and I'll cook the meal. It's okay for me to move a little now."

"No need!" Shen Qiansan said, "I'll be back soon. I'm just going to buy something. I'll be back soon."

After saying that, he walked out the door.

After he left, Luo Rong said with some concern: "Old man, he said he was going to buy something. What do you think he was going to buy? He wouldn't spend all the 80,000 yuan in one go!"

The main reason was that Shen Qiansan had been too extravagant when buying things in the past, and she couldn't help but feel frightened when she heard him say he wanted to buy something.

I kind of regret giving the money to Shen Qiansan at this time. I should have waited until he came back.

Chen Wentao hesitated for a moment and said, "Not really!"

After he finished speaking, he sighed and said, "Forget it, don't think about it. Since you have given him the money, let him use it however he wants!"

Luo Rong also sighed and said, "That's all I can think of."

But even though I said that, I was still feeling uneasy and couldn't even watch TV with peace of mind.

About forty minutes later, footsteps were heard outside the door.

"He is back!"

Luo Rong suddenly turned to look outside the door and said to Chen Wentao.

Chen Wentao also looked outside the door.

Sure enough, Shen Qiansan was seen walking towards the door carrying a cloth bag.

Look at that cloth bag, the things inside are not big.

However, Shen Qiansan held a square wooden board on his other arm. The board was slightly smaller than the tabletop of the Four Immortals Table and looked a bit old, obviously not new.

Chen Wentao couldn't help but wonder in his heart, Shen Qiansan went out specially to buy something, only to bring back a piece of old wood like this?

"Dad, Mom!"

Under the gaze of Chen Wentao and Luo Rong, Shen Qiansan walked into the main hall. He saw that the two looked a little strange, so he called out, "What are you looking at?"

Luo Rong smiled awkwardly, "I didn't see anything. Oh, you're back!"

Chen Wentao asked, "What did you buy?"
