Chapter 143 Ambition
“…To be honest, the rent is not enough for a few bricks, I really don’t care.”
“That’s it, that’s it.”
“Not to mention anything else, the returned belongings alone are enough for me. How much can I spend as a rotten old man? I will never be able to spend all this money in my lifetime.”
"That's right, that's right. I know your skills best. Isn't it easy to get some money? Are you using a seller? You can do it in the ghost market."
"You say I am unbalanced and want them to move rooms one by one? We have been neighbors for many years! How could I do such an unkind thing?"
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, you drink first. Order tea, and don't be angry. It's not worth getting your body so angry over such a trivial matter."
Ning Weimin took the teapot and gave Kang Shude another cup. Tea.
But the old man couldn't let go and said angrily.
"Is it a trivial matter? It's a matter of reputation, is it a trivial matter? Don't tell me that you don't know what is said outside, it's too ugly!"
"Okay, people's words are terrible. I'm old enough and I can't bear the infamy for such a small amount of money! It's not just an extraneous thing. That girl Du in the south is willing to give it up, so of course I am willing to give it up."
"I don't want this house anymore, and I've donated all the things. Can we go to the head office?"
Seeing Kang Shude so angry, Ning Weimin shook his head gently.
"Why are you doing this..."
After sighing, he continued to patiently comfort me.
"I'm not telling you, you've stopped eating because of choking, and it's a shame to be so angry. Don't you want to plant crops after hearing a few cries of crickets?"
"If nothing else, Director Li. Have you ever thought about it? Isn’t it nice of me that I have gone to great lengths to help you and said so many good things to you? If you say no, your hard work will not be in vain. Do you feel uncomfortable? "
"Your reputation is important. But if I keep my words away, no matter how much you suffer, you will only be able to satisfy those who are close to you behind the scenes. Is it a benefit? The person who arranges you may still laugh at you for being stupid. Isn’t this the best way to make your enemies happy?”
This statement works.
Kang Shude was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and blurted out uncontrollably.
"Don't say it, what you said makes sense. I'm really a little angry and confused..."
Ning Weimin felt a little calmer when he saw that the old man listened to the advice.
I quickly poured myself a glass of water, took a sip, moistened my throat, and continued talking.
"I know you don't value money. But the situation between you and Du Yunyun is really different. We can't be taken advantage of, right? Please allow me to tell you slowly. Is it right for you to appreciate what I say?"
"That girl got the inheritance from her adoptive mother, and her relatives wanted to strangle her to death for money. Besides, how old is that girl? How old are you?"
"Let me analyze it. Although Du Yunyun has a high level of awareness, she is probably afraid of being plotted against her. She is also heartbroken. In addition, she was able to make this decision because she was selling her father's land. What's more, she is still young and has a bright future. Good. This donation has a great impact, and it will definitely be compensated for being a nationally famous example."
"But looking at you, even your house and belongings are not only your property. It’s your past, it’s your life memories. It’s easy to donate. You can just think about it later, so what should you do?”
“Besides, Donating and donating are also different. Du Yunyun is the first in the country, with strong initiative and high amount. How about you? You can’t stand the gossip and follow other people’s advice. There are not many people who don’t want to donate. It doesn’t make much sense to leave later. A certificate and a commendation from the district will be over.”
“Do you lack this? It’s definitely not as good as it is in terms of benefits and honors. The last time we donated bronzes..."
There is no doubt that Kang Shude has been a shrewd person all his life, but he was just confused in one breath.
Now that Ning Weimin had touched all the joints inside and out, he naturally understood how wrong things were.
“What do you mean?”
The old man continued to inquire as he pondered. "It's not good that we do nothing. Just let the rumors spread?"
"How can we do that? If we let the rumors go, of course we will get angry. No matter for us or for the elders, The neighbors are not good to Director Li.”
Ning Weimin smiled slightly.
"That's what I think, let's spend money to eliminate the disaster. Since it is money and housing that cause the trouble of gossip, let's prescribe the right medicine wherever the problem lies. But one thing, we can't be like Du Yunyun Donate it with just one sentence. We have to differentiate and treat it, so that the loved ones will be happy and the enemies will be hurt."
Kang Shude was aroused and nodded in approval, saying "Yeah". .
"This charter is not bad. Then please explain carefully what to do."
"Hey, that's not easy to handle."
Ning Weimin cleared his throat and gave his idea without hesitation.
“You don’t care about the rent money, so I won’t charge it, not even a penny. I’ll go back and make an agreement with the neighbors. We’ll take care of the repairs. How can we live in the past? How can we live there? Then they don’t care about you?”
“As for the street, we can make a donation of 1,800 yuan to supplement Director Li’s funds, which is enough. . As for the allowance for the elderly, I don’t think it will embarrass Director Li. Take the initiative and just don’t ask for it.”
“Think about it, the neighbors will be separated, and Director Li will also have it. No more face, no more pressure. How appropriate?” We have to speak up for us with our neighbors. I guarantee that our jealousy will make them even more jealous, and they won’t be able to say anything.”
Needless to say, Ning Weimin's idea was really sound. Kang Shude was happy when he heard it, and he had to praise it for his thoughtfulness.
But I was happy. I looked at him coldly for a while, but my mouth was deliberately unforgiving and deliberately testing.
"Well, this is a good idea, but my income will be gone. From now on, I will just sit back and have nothing. The house is only in name, and I will lose money every year in the future. Are you thinking about me?"
Ning Weimin knew that Kang Shude was being pretentious, so he shook his head and smiled slightly.
"You, don't make me cough. Are you worried about this little money? Didn't you just say that you can't spend it all in your life? Don't worry, as long as I'm here, how can you not have it? It’s about income. Let’s do this. As an apprentice, I will give all my monthly salary to you. ”
Unexpectedly, Kang Shude said "Oh", but the words that followed were even more heartbreaking.
"Does it mean that after you give me your salary, I still have to take care of you getting a wife? From now on, I have to give you this house and all these things?"
Ning Weimin This time I was really dumbfounded.
"Oh, Ancestor, can I call you Ancestor? If I say I don't want this house and this thing of yours, I wouldn't even believe it myself."
"But then again Yes, I understand the basic principles of life. If you give it to me, it’s not mine. Let’s put it this way, as long as you are still here, these things are yours, follow me. It doesn’t matter.”
"What's more, who am I? Your personal disciple. I can run on my own. From now on, my wealth must be ten times or twenty times more than yours. Otherwise, I would be embarrassed to say that one is better than another. Ah."
"Don't worry, your apprentice is ambitious. He is not a bird but a swan. He will never lose your people and just think about eating ready-made medicine."
This is a good way. De was really speechless and silently gave Ning Weimin a thumbs up in his heart.
Then he picked up the tea cup with a smile and took a sip of tea.
With this mouthful, perhaps the anger in his heart had gone away, and his eyes immediately widened.
"I said, this is double smoked jasmine. Did you buy it new? It costs about twenty yuan per pound, right? The Queen Mother of the West likes to drink this..."
Ning Weimin turned over helplessly Roll your eyes.
"Is it true that you have been drinking this for two days before you can taste it?"
