Chapter 33 Lin’s Mother’s Past
At that time, Lin Fan had just broken up and was in Gaohe City, but he had not yet resigned from his job. Lin's mother said that she was short of money for investment and asked Lin Fan to borrow some money.
When Lin Fan heard that something was wrong, he asked in detail and found out that someone was dragging Lin’s mother into financial investment. Lin Fan saw a lot of news in Gaohe City about illegal fund-raising companies that took money and ran away. I quickly advised Mother Lin not to believe it. But how could Mother Lin listen?
In the past few years, Dad Lin’s business has started again. She regained her days of money and freedom. Friends from all walks of life surrounded her and called her "boss lady" one after another. She became the center of a group of people, feeling complacent that she had the world in her hands.
No, this investment project introduced by a friend, I invested money in it myself, made a lot of money, and only told her if I had a good relationship with it.
As long as you invest money in that company, you will get profits quickly, which is much more cost-effective than saving money in the bank!
And I go to the company every day to sign in, and I can get a salary of more than 3,000 yuan a month, and I often give gifts!
How could a good friend lie to her? Impossible!
No matter how much Lin Fan tried his best, he could not stop Lin’s mother from investing.
In the end, Mother Lin got angry and said, I just borrowed your money, it’s not like I won’t pay it back. Why is it so difficult for a mother to borrow money for the first time? There were a lot of unpleasant words coming from Balabala, which hurt Lin Fan quite a lot.
Just when Lin's mother cursed and wanted to sever the relationship between mother and daughter, Lin Fan still compromised.
She transferred 200,000 to Lin’s mother, telling her to be careful and take it out immediately if something went wrong. And don't put any more money into it.
Ordinary people like them know nothing about investing, and the risks are too great. In case of a real loss, the 200,000 yuan would not hurt even if it was Lin Fan's contribution.
Mama Lin agreed and hung up the phone happily.
Later, when Lin Fan returned to his hometown, Lin’s mother urged Lin Fan to invest with her while she was urging her to get married, but Lin Fan ignored her. After repeatedly confirming that Mother Lin only invested the 200,000 she gave, she no longer cared about this matter.
I found out something was wrong from the news. As expected, the fund-raising company was in trouble, and the boss took the money and ran away. After Lin Fan saw the news, he quickly called Lin's mother to ask about the situation.
Lin’s mother has known that the company has been running away for some time. She was surprised, sad, and very frightened. Because she invested more than 200,000.
When Father Lin started business again, Mother Lin had already applied for internal withdrawal at the work unit. She followed Father Lin and held the family's money firmly in her hands. It can be said that Father Lin doesn't even know how much money his family has.
When being asked to invest, Lin’s mother was cautious at first and did not dare to invest more. She first took 200,000 to test the waters. After a month, she made a lot of money.
She wanted to invest money again, but Dad Lin disagreed.
I wanted to invest secretly in private, but Lin's father happened to have a large amount of capital flowing, and all his savings were used to support the business, so he didn't have enough money.
Feeling unbearable, he called Lin Fan and asked for money to invest. You can imagine what happened next.
The fund-raising company had a firm hold on Mrs. Lin’s heart.
Not only can you get paid by showing up every day, but you will also receive a fruit mobile phone every month. The year-end bonus will be two 70-inch color TV sets. Half a year later, Lin’s mother saw that the fund-raising company’s account The amount keeps rising, and I get dizzy.
Not only did he invest all his savings at home. When other friends asked about it, they started to buy tickets and attracted many people into this game.
When she went to the company to sign in one day and found that the door was locked and no one was inside, she panicked.
She dialed the company leader’s phone number with trembling hands, but the number was empty. When she called the friend who got her involved, she heard a cry and howl saying they had been cheated.
Ma Lin stood stunned on the spot. She didn't dare to tell her family, so she went to the company door every day to guard her, hoping that there was something wrong. But before the company opened, she dragged those friends who were involved in the situation to find her and asked her to pay for it.
Dad Lin hurried home and saw a large group of Lin’s friends who greeted him with smiles in the past. They slapped the table and benches fiercely, and Mother Lin was surrounded in the middle and cried so hard that she couldn’t help herself. When I asked again, I was dumbfounded.
Normally, Lin’s mother shouldn’t lose the money invested by others. After all, she is an adult. Who doesn’t know that there are risks in investment? But the bad thing is that Lin’s mother slapped her breasts loudly and said she would pay for it.
These friends don't know whether it's because they really trust Lin's mother, or they think it's troublesome to open an account, or they have other motives. Almost all of them put their money in Lin's name.
It is said that Lin Ma has invested a lot of money. The company regards her as a big customer and will pay more attention to him. The withdrawal is faster than that of small customers. It is not afraid that Lin Ma will steal their money.
Only one or two people opened their own accounts.
Dad Lin feels that all the bells and whistles are false. Those people are more risk-averse, knowing that Lin’s mother has family strength and will not run away.
No, I really came to see her when something happened.
It's not impossible to talk about it in detail, but these friends are all locals of Gaoshi and have deep roots. Father Lin knows that some of them have some social connections.
When Lin Ma was showing off to him, she said that the man's friend was so powerful and awesome that he almost blinded the man with one punch and collected the debt in three strikes and five divided by two. Unexpectedly, I would now be the debtor.
Since ancient times, strong dragons have not suppressed local snakes, not to mention they are just ordinary people.
Besides, if Mother Lin hadn’t been so generous and generous, whether it was out of trust in Mother Lin or not, people might not have taken advantage of this trap. What's more, the money is still in Lin's name, how can we make it clear?
Mother Lin did make a big mistake!
Father Lin is a moral businessman. Since his wife has made a guarantee, he will pay what is due.
How much money can an average family invest? Not much more.
He first calmed down a few people's emotions, asked about their respective losses, and found out that the total amount was nearly one million. Although he was distressed and annoyed, he still felt relieved.
My family has enough savings, so I can use the money to eliminate disasters.
When taking money from Mother Lin, Mother Lin only cried, and Father Lin felt bad.
After further questioning, he found out that Lin's mother had invested all of his family's savings of more than two million yuan. Father Lin's eyesight went dark and he almost fell down. It is still up to the debtor to support him.
Seeing that Father Lin was about to fall, Mother Lin wanted to help him but did not dare to go over. On the contrary, after the debtors knew that Lin Ma had invested all their wealth, they all looked at her as a fool.
They wanted to make money, but they just spent ten to two hundred thousand to test the waters. I just considered the possibility of losing money, and my family still had enough food, so it didn't hinder my fundamentals. I just didn't expect that the money would be taken away, and there would be no penny left.
Who would throw all their wealth into it? Either you are too greedy or you are too stupid!
Everyone began to sympathize with Father Lin for having such a wife. Instead of furiously collecting debts, they gathered around to feed Father Lin some water.
The blood vessels on Father Lin's forehead were pulsing. He never thought that Mother Lin's heart was so big. Although Mother Lin told him about the investment, he only knew about the initial sum of 200,000. Unexpectedly...
Seeing that Father Lin was so angry, a group of people started to comfort Father Lin. Let him take it easy first. A few people saw the Lin family like this and said they could pay later, which was considered a great act of kindness on their part. After Father Lin insisted on sending a few people away, he ignored Mother Lin and began to liquidate the business property. That night, he contacted his friends to cash out the business as soon as possible.
The long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. He doesn't want those social people to come and make things unclear, and he doesn't want such a huge debt to be left in Lin Fan's hands.
Dad Lin’s business prospects are good, but he was too anxious to sell money. In one week, he only sold an integer of 1 million. It may also be that the buyer knew this and deliberately set the price. Fortunately, it was enough to pay off the debt, so Lin's father didn't speak to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan had been home for almost half a year at that time. Dad Lin knew that she had spent a lot and didn't have much money left.
Now that the matter was settled, I didn’t want to talk to her anymore. I just paid off the money in one breath and collapsed when I got home.
Lin’s mother was scared to death. She called an ambulance and took her to the hospital, saying she had a minor stroke.
Lin Fan’s call came at this time.
Knowing that Lin’s mother had lost so much money, including Lin’s father’s business, Lin Fan didn’t know what to say.
This is my mother. Father Lin didn't even scold his wife, so what could Lin Fan do?
The money they earned was spent by themselves, and there was nothing wrong with it.
Lin Fan rushed to Gaoshi overnight after learning that Lin's father was hospitalized.
Looking at Father Lin who was much older lying on the hospital bed, Lin Fan felt uncomfortable.
I asked the doctor. Fortunately, the rescue was timely, the symptoms were not severe, and there were no serious consequences. Control your blood pressure now and you can be discharged from the hospital after a few days of observation. But in the future, the patient should not be overly stimulated, and the blood pressure should not be too high.
Knowing that there was no big problem, Lin Fan felt relieved. When he returned to the ward, he saw Mother Lin cowering aside and Father Lin ignoring her. He didn't know how his life had reached this point.
Half a month ago, her family had a savings of one million, and her business was booming. In a blink of an eye, the savings were gone, and the business was gone, leaving only two old houses, an old car, and some savings she had with her.
This is why later, after Lin Fan fell ill and spent all her savings, she decisively stopped taking medicine - the family had no extra money for her treatment, and it was impossible to sell the house or car.
In the eyes of outsiders, she has good arms and legs, and is not sick at all. She is not to the point of invading the family and bankrupting her property. Even though Lin's father is so concerned about Lin Fan's health, he has never thought of selling his house or car.
Even if it were to be sold, the car would not fetch tens of thousands of dollars after being driven for many years, which would be a drop in the bucket.
As for the house, based on Lin Fan's understanding of his body at that time, rather than selling it and throwing it away in a hospital with little hope, it would be better to keep it as a retreat for his parents. After all, she was no longer reliable.
What's more, Lin Ma and Lin Fan can't live in the same room. After the house is sold, they have to rent a house, which is another troublesome issue.
Dad Lin and the others knew that it had been a long time since Lin Fan stopped taking medicine. Seeing that Lin Fan was in good condition without taking medicine, they no longer mentioned seeing a doctor.
Talking back to the time when Dad Lin was so angry that he was hospitalized.
In the hospital, Lin’s father noticed Lin Fan’s worries and comforted her by saying that they had reached the age of retirement anyway and they would not be able to do business if they didn’t want to. The couple's combined pension is more than 6,000, and the house is ready, so they can live a sufficient life.
The living expenses of more than 6,000 yuan a month in a fourth-tier small city are definitely enough for an ordinary old couple, as long as they don't get sick.
But Father Lin and Mother Lin were rich before and were used to spending money lavishly. As far as Lin Fan knows, Lin's father spends more than 2,000 yuan a month smoking. Although smoking is harmful to health, I hope he will quit, but this is not the way to quit.
Lin Fan plans to do something to make money, and can no longer just relax like before.
She stayed with her in the hospital for two days, but Father Lin stopped letting her stay with her anymore.
Lin Fan agreed to go back when he saw that Lin's father's condition was stable and he only had to drink a bottle of water every morning. There were indeed no other problems. He would be discharged from the hospital in a few days.
When Mother Lin sent Lin Fan out, she still looked cowered.
Lin Fan looked pitiful and asked her if she still had any money in her hand.
Mama Lin shook her head. She only had some change in her hand. She had already spent seven or eight hundred and eighty-eight dollars to hospitalize Father Lin these days, and the hospitalization fee had not yet been paid.
Lin Fan sighed and transferred 100,000 yuan to Mother Lin. Let her pay off her hospital bills, and if her pension is not enough, use it to improve her life.
After all, Father Lin is in the hospital, so he doesn’t worry about these things normally. Mother Lin is in charge. Although something went wrong this time, the lesson of more than 3 million yuan should be unforgettable to Mrs. Lin and she will not make similar mistakes again.
He wanted to warn her a few more words, but seeing Lin's mother acting like she knew she was wrong, Lin Fan finally couldn't bear to say more.
A week later, Lin’s mother happily called Lin Fan to share that they had formed a group of people who had been deceived and found a particularly powerful lawyer to help with the lawsuit.
Lin Fan remembered that the owner of this fund-raising company had run away, and no one was arrested despite the police notification. Why did he suddenly end up in a lawsuit?
The correct step should be for the police to arrest the person, confirm the criminal facts and then file a lawsuit. During the trial, the lawyer will appear again.
Listening to Mrs. Lin’s beaming words that the money would be recovered soon, Lin Fan had a particularly bad feeling. She asked Lin’s mother, how much does it cost to hire a lawyer?
Mother Lin said, not much, I only spent 60,000 yuan. The lawyer said he would win the case.
It only cost 60,000 yuan!
It only cost...
Lin Fan instantly wanted to spit out sweet things, knowing that her 100,000 yuan was paid by mistake after all.
