Lin Bei was suddenly surprised and said: "Mom, didn't you say that we don't have any relatives in our family? Why did a cousin suddenly appear?"
Qin Huilan said: "Who said our family has no relatives? It's just that you have rarely interacted with me since your grandfather took me to Jiangcheng."
Lin Bei's eyes widened immediately after hearing this.
He has never seen any relatives except his biological mother since he was a child. Is this called less contact? Is this almost the same as severing ties?
Qin Huilan explained: "Lin Bei, your grandfather actually has several brothers. The cousin I met this time is my uncle's child. If you meet him, you have to call him uncle."
Lin Bei was noncommittal.
His mother's cousins are naturally uncles to him, but they are not cousins according to seniority, but are called cousins.
However, this cousin seemed to have a bad character. He had not seen Qin Huilan for decades, and now he asked to borrow money when they met.
Lin Bei couldn't help but ask: "Mom, my cousin, why do I care about you borrowing money?"
Qin Huilan said: "His son has found a girlfriend who is from the city or a college student. Now the parents are very satisfied in all aspects, but they have asked for a lot of gifts. Your cousin did not go to the city back then, and the conditions in the countryside were not so good.
So you asked me to borrow 100,000 yuan."
Lin Bei was stunned after hearing this. Forget about borrowing money, why did he still borrow money for the gift?
There is an old saying from our ancestors, money is something that can only be used when you are in need but not when you are in need.
Lin Bei is not short of money, but he is not a person who gives money randomly.
This cousin has never met him at all, and he can't even make a quick move. If it's an urgent matter, just borrow money. Who knows that it's because of the betrothal gift?
If his mother were replaced by someone else at this time, Lin Bei would definitely turn around and leave without borrowing any money.
Lin Bei said seriously: "Mom, I have money, but you have to think about it. If you lend this money, you may not get it back."
Qin Huilan said firmly: "No, Lin Bei. That's your cousin. I've known him since I was a child. I won't play rogue. Mom has been away from home for so many years, and she has no one since your grandfather passed away. It's not easy today."
If you meet a relative, you will definitely want to help if you are in trouble."
Lin Bei was suddenly speechless.
Helping is not a problem, but it also depends on what kind of work you are doing.
Lin Bei is rich now, but Qin Huilan has no idea. In her eyes, the current villa is a loan, Lin Bei has no income, and Qin Huilan is the only one who supports the family.
But now that the old city is being demolished, Qin Huilan's breakfast stall is no longer open. If you spend another 100,000 yuan at this time, isn't it like digging your own ribs to make soup for others?
The more Lin Bei thought about it, the more puzzled he became. Why was his mother, who was usually quite calm, so hot-headed at this time?
Looking at Lin Bei's expression, Qin Huilan thought he was worried about money and said: "Lin Bei, don't you have any money around you? That's right. You just came out not long ago and your studies and work are not stable. How could you have this?
One hundred thousand. How about I make a call and tell your cousin that I won’t lend you this money."
Lin Bei immediately shook his head and said: "Mom, that's not what I meant. I still have one hundred thousand yuan. Go and ask for my cousin's bank card number, and I will transfer money to him."
When she heard that she had money, Qin Huilan was a little surprised, and then said: "Your cousin said that he wants cash. When the gift is given, it will be heavy and look better. I think so, your cousin and the others have come from afar, and we invite them."
When they have a meal, you go and withdraw some money and give it to them during the meal so that they can see how promising my son is!"
That’s what it’s for!
Lin Bei felt a little funny.
Perhaps a large part of the reason why my mother was so generous this time was because she wanted to show off to her relatives how impressive she was.
It is the long-cherished wish of every mother to hope that her son will succeed.
And eating is actually not a bad thing, it’s just a good time to see what kind of person your cousin is.
If Lin Bei had misunderstood, he wouldn't even blink an eye if he borrowed one million, let alone one hundred thousand.
Lin Bei smiled and finally nodded in agreement.
Qin Huilan's face suddenly filled with joy, she took out her mobile phone and started calling her cousin, and finally made an appointment with their family for dinner.
As for the location, Lin Bei originally wanted to go to Yuelai Building, but thinking that Yuelai Building had been burned down, he finally thought about it and settled on Wanjun Hotel owned by Bai Qinhu.
Wanjun is also a five-star hotel, and it caters exclusively to high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen. Its reputation is no worse than that of Yuelai Hotel.
………………
night.
Lin Bei drove his mother to the Wanjun Hotel in a Rolls-Royce.
As soon as the two got out of the car, a middle-aged man's voice came from behind: "Qin Huilan! We are here!"
Turning around, he saw that the person speaking was a middle-aged man who was about the same grade as Qin Huilan. His appearance was not outstanding, but his facial features were slightly similar to Qin Huilan's.
Next to him, there were a middle-aged woman and a young man about twenty years old, who should be his wife and children.
Seeing them, Qin Huilan showed a smile, said hello, and introduced to Lin Bei: "Lin Bei, come here quickly, this is your cousin Qin Wenxing, next to you is your aunt Qin Yuefeng, that young man is your cousin.
,Qin Dekai.”
"Hello."
Lin Bei walked forward and greeted the three of them warmly.
Qin Wenxing looked at him and said, "Are you Lin Bei? You are much older than I thought. Are you working now?"
Lin Bei said: "Be an intern in the hospital."
When he heard that he was an intern, Qin Wenxing's expression froze slightly, and then said: "The intern is not bad. I hope to become a full-time employee in the future, and that will be an iron rice bowl."
Qin Yuefeng and Qin Dekai, who were standing next to them, immediately lost interest when they looked at Lin Bei.
I'm just an intern, and I live the same life as a real doctor.
As for becoming a regular employee, how can it be that easy?
At this time, Qin Dekai saw the Rolls-Royce behind Lin Bei and the key in his hand, and immediately exclaimed: "Cousin, you didn't drive this Rolls-Royce Phantom, did you?"
Qin Wenxing and his wife were stunned when they heard this.
Rolls-Royce?
They know this brand, it’s a real luxury car!
Qin Wenxing couldn't help but said: "Lin Bei, you came here as soon as you came. Why did you rent a car? Your aunt and I are not that kind of people. We won't laugh at you because you don't have a car. Look, our Dekai family doesn't have a car either."
If so, he will admit it frankly, how magnanimous it is!"
In his opinion, Lin Bei, an intern, would never be able to drive a luxury car like a Rolls-Royce!
Qin Yuefeng, who was next to him, also said: "Yes, Lin Bei, renting a car is not a glorious thing. If it gets scratched, you will have to pay for it in the end. I think your car is so beautiful, it costs hundreds of thousands at least, right?"
"
Hearing this, Qin Dekai, who was standing next to him, immediately shouted: "What's hundreds of thousands? This is a Rolls-Royce Phantom, with a standard price of 10 million!"
"What? Ten million?"
Qin Wenxing and Qin Yuefeng's eyes widened immediately.
Their income in the countryside is only around 100,000 yuan a year.
It would take them a hundred years to earn the figure of ten million without eating or drinking!
At this time, Qin Dekai stared at the Rolls-Royce and said with fiery eyes: "Cousin, your car is rented out anyway, so why don't you just lend it to me to drive. I have never driven such a good car in my life.
