MTL - Reborn As a Top Student In the 1990s

Chapter 32 The Incident

Chapter 33 The Incident

Auntie hurriedly yelled, "It's nothing. It's just that there is a batch of goods in the factory and the funds are a bit tight. I want to help you to deal with the emergency. I will send the money to you as soon as the other party pays."

 But grandma didn’t seem to believe it and insisted on telling the truth. Just when Fang Qing felt that grandma just didn't want to borrow money, the aunt actually changed her words.

"Hey, let me tell you the truth! It's Shoucai. He has recently become obsessed with playing stocks. One of his friends in the securities industry revealed to him an inside message, saying that there is a stock that is guaranteed to reach its daily limit in the near future. Know the limit. Right? It’s just ten yuan and one yuan per day, so the two of us are going to invest tens of thousands. If the price goes up for a few days, we can earn at least ten thousand..."

Ten thousand yuan is undoubtedly a huge amount of money in this era. Fang Qing suddenly understood the mentality of gamblers who play stocks, because once this is achieved, it will indeed make people rich overnight.

But listening to her aunt's increasingly excited tone as she spoke, Fang Qing frowned slightly outside the door.

Although she has never played stocks, she has read a lot of financial books before and has some understanding of stocks. Although internal information is often reliable, how come the aunt's family is so sure that the person who leaked the information is telling the truth?

Moreover, the stock market is always dominated by bankers. These ordinary investors can only get some small profits from time to time, and they need to keep their heads clear at all times. Once they are deeply involved, they will definitely suffer heavy losses.

Fang Qing is a little worried. It is not a good thing that her aunt's family is so keen on stock trading, but if she rashly dissuades her, not only will she not believe it, but she may also doubt herself...

While Fang Qing was struggling outside the door on how to persuade her aunt and her family, Fang Cuiping inside the house was still trying hard to persuade her mother, but no matter how she talked, Mrs. Fang remained unmoved.

"If you are in trouble in the factory, it's okay if I lend you some, but if you want to use it to stir up some kind of drum, I will never agree to this. You have to be responsible for your duties, and you have to be down-to-earth when making money, like you If you fantasize about getting rich overnight like this, something big will happen!"

Auntie wanted to give some more advice, but was interrupted by her mother, "Go back, don't think about these unrealistic things, you two are better off living a good life than anything else. I'm tired, so you should go to bed early..."

Fang Qing, who was outside the door, quickly got up and slipped into the kitchen. After her aunt returned to her room, she patted her chest to calm her nervousness due to eavesdropping and quietly returned to her room.

Early the next morning, my aunt didn’t even eat breakfast, so she took her cousin back to her home.

Fang Qing looked at her aunt's long face and knew that her grandma had not borrowed the money.

 She agreed with her grandma's idea in her heart. After all, the Fang family was just an ordinary family. It was already difficult to maintain food and clothing. How could they have extra money and energy to play stocks?

Since grandma didn't borrow money, Fang Qing's heart felt heavy. She also hoped that the family could get better and better, and there would be no more barriers.

 The following days returned to normal. Fang Qing did homework and read books in the morning, and in the afternoon he and Wen Ling went to Teacher Qiu's house to learn painting.

Fang Qing gave part of the money he earned last time to Teacher Qiu, calling it his tuition. Teacher Qiu was determined not to do so, but Fang Qing believed that he would need a lot of paper, pens and paints to learn painting, so he left some of it as funds to purchase raw materials for the studio.

Teacher Qiu liked Fang Qing even more, so she treated Fang Qing as her own child and devoted herself to cultivating him. The relationship between master and apprentice is getting better and better.

After the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, his father and eldest brother began to work one after another. Fang Qing was about to return to school next month. He was discussing with his mother to take apart the pillows used last year and wash them when there was a sudden loud knock on the door.

Fang Qing opened the door and saw that it was her aunt.

“Auntie? What’s wrong with you?”

The aunt was dark and panicked. She pushed Fang Qing away and rushed into the house like crazy. But in a blink of an eye, the aunt rushed out again.

 “Qingqing, where is your grandma?”

Seeing the eldest sister's expression of desolation, Fang's mother knew that something serious was going on. She hurriedly stepped forward to help her, "Sister, what's wrong with you? What happened? Mom went next door to play cards with Aunt Wei and the others. You sit down first." Come on, let’s call her back.”

Fang Qing caught her mother's look and ran out immediately, and soon helped Grandma Fang through the door.

“Ouch, Ping, what’s wrong with you? How did you end up like this?”

“Mom! Mom, please help me! Something really happened in the factory this time. I’m really at my wits end. Please help me, let me get over this hurdle...”

The aunt who had been high in the past, but at this time holding her grandmother's legs, she was so angry that her hair was scattered, her expression was panicked, and she had half a point in the past.

Grandma had a look of anxiety on her face. After thinking for a moment, she asked Mother Fang to help her into her room. She closed the door and the two of them whispered in the room.

Just as Fang Qing was about to go over and eavesdrop, her mother took her away by her collar, "You kid, don't mess around with this adult matter. Go and take apart the pillow yourself."

　　But before Fang’s mother finished speaking, an exclamation came from inside the room.

 “Mom, don’t worry, Mom! What’s wrong with you, Mom?”

Fang Qing and her mother immediately rushed into the door, helped the old lady who was leaning on the chair, pinched people, called people, and took medicine. After a while, the old lady's eyelids moved and she woke up.

Fang Mu and Fang Cuiping carried the person to the kang and let the old lady lean on the pillow. After a long time, the old lady spoke with a sallow face.

"Chunxia, ​​you...go and call everyone back. I...I have something...to discuss with them..."

Fang's mother did not doubt that he was there, so she immediately changed her clothes and went out. She also asked Fang Qing to tidy up the house at home.

Fang Qing stood aside, her hand held tightly by her grandma. She could feel her uneasiness and anger from her slightly trembling palms. She held her hands back, and Fang Qing lowered her body and whispered in her ear.

“Grandma, don’t worry, there are still us...”

Grandma Fang seemed to know her for the first time. She looked at her intently for a long time, a trace of relief flashed in her eyes, and then she closed her eyes and waited for her descendants to come back.

During the waiting period, the aunt seemed to have lost her soul. She just sat on the stool blankly without saying a word. Fang Qing didn't know what happened to the aunt's house, so she could only support her mentally and ask for help. She bought a blanket for her to put on her aunt, and heated up the stove in the house. After she tidied up everything inside and out, the whole family finally came back huffing and puffing.

Seeing Grandma Fang lying motionless on the kang, the children immediately nervously came forward to visit their mother. Even the usually cowardly and honest uncle lay on the head of the kang with red eyes in worry.

Just when the atmosphere in the room was a little gloomy and sad, the eldest aunt cried out, "Mom, what's wrong with you? We haven't seen each other for a few days, why are you like this...Second brother and sister, you are like this Take care of me? How can you make this happen after only a few days?
