Volume 1: Reborn in the 80s, selling lunch boxes with my mother Chapter 65 It's thundering, go home and collect your clothes
The old lady was unhappy. She hadn't even started to dislike Hu Qiongfang for being a jinx. The Jiang family held two funerals in one day. Who knew if Hu Qiongfang was unlucky because of her bad luck?
If it wasn't heard that Hu Qiongfang had a lot of money, who would dare to marry such a woman who would bring bad luck to her husband?
Seeing that Grandma Hu was not listening, the old lady felt a little embarrassed. She looked around and immediately took Hu Qiongfang's hand and asked her affectionately -
"Fangfang, this is all for your own good. You are a woman, and you don't have your parents-in-law to help you. It must be very difficult for you to raise two children by yourself."
"You see, you and my nephew are in a similar situation. You are a perfect match made in heaven. How about I call him over so you can take a look at each other first?"
Before he finished speaking, he saw that the sky outside, which was originally sunny, suddenly became covered with dark clouds.
Suddenly, there was a loud crack!
A crooked jujube tree in front of the Hu family’s gate was struck by lightning.
Everyone in the room was stunned.
This... Could it be that Grandma Hu's mouth was blessed by God?
She just said that her sister-in-law has a loose mouth and should be careful to be struck by lightning.
How long has it been? Not even a cup of tea?
This thunder came suddenly?
In the early years, setting up altars to pray for rain wasn’t this quick, right?
The old lady who was so happy just now was also frightened.
It can’t be that weird, right?
Her nephew from her mother's side wasn't that bad. He just had a few drinks at a social gathering and accidentally broke his wife's arm.
He admitted his mistake when he sobered up. Aren't all men like that?
Besides, her nephew was not rich, but wasn't Hu Qiongfang rich? When the time came, the couple could use the money to start a small business, and their lives would gradually get better, right?
The old lady didn't believe it, so she opened her mouth and was about to say a few more words of advice when she heard two loud noises, "crack" and "bang", and an even bigger thunder struck her head.
The roof shook twice.
The other villagers couldn't sit still anymore.
"Oh, it's thundering. I have to go home and collect my clothes."
"Me too, let's go!"
"The jar of soy sauce in my yard hasn't been covered yet. Fangfang, come back and play for a few more days. Auntie will treat you to a meal later."
As they spoke, the villagers disappeared quickly like ants before a rainstorm.
The old lady who had just tried hard to persuade Hu Qiongfang to remarry ran the fastest.
"Bah! You wicked and shameless old woman!" Jiang Xiuxiu spat fiercely at the old woman's back.
Chen Xiaohong also became so angry that her face changed. She thought more than her sister-in-law. From Liuzhutou Village to their Yangshuling Village, one by one, everyone was trying their best to introduce a partner to her sister-in-law. What was it for?
Isn’t it the tens of thousands of yuan in compensation that she has as rumored?
Even if it's not tens of thousands, but only ten or twenty thousand, it's an attractive amount of wealth in the countryside.
Grandma Hu and her daughter-in-law thought of the same thing.
Without having time to be angry, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law laid the matter out to each other and asked Hu Qiongfang if she could keep the money.
The Hu family was not greedy for the compensation money, but they were afraid that Hu Qiongfang might not be able to keep it and would be harmed by the money instead.
Hu Qiongfang was stunned, and her eyes unconsciously turned towards her daughter.
Grandma Hu was shocked and pointed at Jiang Tian in disbelief: "You gave the money to Tian girl to save?"
How can there be such a carefree mother?
Granny Hu had previously thought that her daughter had made progress after more than a decade of marriage experience, but now she was hit hard and almost fainted.
Hu Qiongfang nodded and said a classic line that left the whole family speechless:
"Tiantian will be in charge of the money in my house from now on. She can manage it."
Everyone in the Hu family: "..."
Jiang Tian: “…”
There was silence in the house. Outside, thunder rumbled and raindrops as big as beans hit the tiles with a crackling sound, making people's heads buzz.
Grandma Hu also felt her head buzzing.
Children are all debts!
This old girl is her lifelong debt!
Who in their right mind would give all the family savings to their daughter who is only in junior high school?
I didn’t expect that Grandpa Hu would actually say that his daughter was right.
Grandma Hu glared at the old man fiercely: "I think you have drunk too much cat urine. Who would let a ten-year-old girl manage the money?"
Grandpa Hu laughed: "Yes, you see, even your own mother doesn't believe it, so who else would believe it?"
"My daughter has really grown up, not bad! Let's do this in the future! I think Tiantian can also be a capable manager of the household, just like you."
Grandpa Hu praised his granddaughter and also praised his wife.
Grandma Hu felt embarrassed by his praise, and after thinking about it, it seemed that this was indeed the truth...
Even she, her own mother, had not expected that her daughter would give all the family money to her granddaughter for safekeeping, let alone outsiders, who would never have thought of it.
Grandpa Hu called Jiang Tian to his side with a smile and asked her what she was going to do with the family's money.
As soon as grandparents met, they gave the dowry they had saved for her mother to Hu Qiongfang. Her two uncles and aunts didn't say a word. Jiang Tian felt that the character of her grandparents' family was trustworthy.
She briefly explained her plan to her grandparents.
"Mom said that the money my dad left behind should not be touched unless absolutely necessary, and it was for my brother and I to go to school. So, I took the money to the bank, divided it into several parts, and put it in two types of fixed deposits, one for one year and the other for five years."
"I asked the bank, and now the interest rate for a one-year deposit is 6%, and for five years it is 6.9%. I kept a small portion for a one-year deposit, so that if my family needs emergency funds, I can withdraw the money and at most lose some interest. The rest is deposited for five years."
Grandpa Hu was stunned for a moment, then he slammed the table and laughed.
This is the seed of their Hu family. Fortunately, it was not stolen by those short-sighted people from the Jiang family.
Jiang Tian's handling of the money could not be considered particularly smart, but for a girl of her age, it was already a very remarkable vision.
He was not disrespecting his own granddaughter. Changmei from the second son's family was a few months older than Tiantian. If she suddenly got such a large sum of money, she probably wouldn't be brave enough to deposit it all in the bank.
After hearing what Jiang Tian said, Grandma Hu couldn't help but laugh.
She didn't expect her granddaughter to be so smart. At such a young age, she even knew to separate the one-year and five-year deposits!
Grandma Hu knew this because all the money her family earned in recent years was deposited in the bank.
It can be said that good people will be rewarded.
The second child had a classmate who, after graduating from high school, was arranged by his family to work in a bank, with the instruction that he had a savings task every year. When the second child came back and told his family about it, his family thought that since the money was in the bank, the government would not default on its debt, so they tried to deposit some money in the bank.
Who would have thought that the year before last when my family was in urgent need of money and I went to the bank to withdraw money, I actually got more than 600 yuan in interest!
This time, the whole family was shocked.
If we put this money in the bank, can it really produce a baby?
Since then, the Hu family has become addicted to saving money.
