Chapter 287: Can't Help But Rant!
Chapter 287: Can't Help But Rant!
His girlfriend rolled her eyes at him, teasing him about how his hometown county was backward and poor.
As they walked, she admired the lively scene in the square and the city's overall layout, feeling that it was no worse than any big city and that she wouldn't mind living here.
Bao Tai finally confirmed that he hadn't gotten off at the wrong stop, as many of the buildings were unchangeable and could be compared.
So, he walked with his girlfriend towards their residential community.
But as soon as they reached the neighborhood, they saw a BMW parked nearby, honking wildly at them.
This made Bao Tai a little annoyed. Was buying a BMW such a big deal?
The owner was showing off on the street.
Just as Bao Tai was about to retort, the car window rolled down, and he was left speechless: "Dad?"
He was a little stunned. His family only ran a small Shaanxi snack shop, and after supporting his university education, they didn't have much savings left. When did his father get a BMW?
"Son, you didn't even tell me you were coming back. Get in the car quickly," his father called out from inside the car.
He was especially delighted to see his son returning with a girlfriend.
Bao Tai and his girlfriend got into the car, and as they followed his father into the community, Bao Tai was still in a daze: "Dad, when did you buy this car? Where did you get the money?"
His father quickly explained, "I just bought it. It's a full-price purchase of over 400,000 yuan, and I took out a loan of 300,000 yuan. I could afford this car thanks to Liyuan Farm."
Hearing the name Liyuan Farm, both Bao Tai and his girlfriend were intrigued, as one of their main purposes for this trip was to visit the famous Liyuan Farm.
They were well aware of the farm's reputation and its online fame.
"Dad, what's going on?" Bao Tai asked curiously.
His father explained further, "After Liyuan Farm became popular, our snack shop's business boomed. Not only did the prices of noodles increase, but many other things followed suit. We're making more profit per item than before."
"And with the increase in tourists, we can't keep up. The shop has already hired two more people to help out."
"Additionally, I've opened a branch in the western part of the city. Once the Night Market Town is constructed, our family's shop will open there too."
"You earned enough to open a branch so quickly?" Bao Tai was even more surprised.
His father shook his head, "Just relying on that one small shop, even if business improves, it's impossible to earn that much capital so quickly. This money is all thanks to your second uncle. It's also because of Liyuan Farm."
"As you know, your second uncle is a smart man. He foresaw Liyuan Farm's popularity, and with the increase in tourists and foot traffic, the county's property prices were bound to rise."
"He urged us to buy properties quickly, and when we sell them later, we'll make a huge profit."
"I think he was right. I saw him use all his money for the down payment on several houses. I also took out a loan of over 1.1 million yuan using our house and shop as collateral."
"Then, using your mother's and grandfather's names, we made the down payment on four houses. Initially, we just wanted to make a small profit, but things turned out beyond our expectations."
"The properties we bought for over 6,000 yuan per square meter have skyrocketed to 23,000 yuan per square meter. It's unbelievable."
"Recently, we sold those four houses and pre-ordered two more in the Night Market Town."
"In the future, your mother, your grandfather, and I will live in one house, and the other one will be for you and your future wife. Of course, if you don't want to live in Yu City, we can also buy a house for you in the city where you work after you get married."
"Now, our two shops can earn tens of thousands in a month. Once the Night Market Town opens, if we manage it well, earning over a hundred thousand a month won't be a problem."
"So, it's up to you to decide. Of course, you should also get married soon and give us a grandchild."
Bao Tai was momentarily speechless upon hearing his father's words.
Initially, he thought that Liyuan Farm was just a scenic spot, and even if tourists came to visit, it had nothing to do with his family.
His family hadn't mentioned this to him during this time.
He vaguely knew that his father's loan was like a gamble, and he didn't want to worry him.
Who would've thought that Liyuan Farm would have such a significant impact on his family?
At first, he still believed his family's situation was as it had been before, and they were discussing marriage plans with his girlfriend. If they wanted to buy a house in a big city, they would have to work hard and save.
If that wasn't feasible, they could buy a house in the county town, and he could rent a place in the city where he worked. There was no need to put too much pressure on himself.
But he never imagined that he, out of the blue, would become a second-generation rich kid?
It seemed that way.
For some reason, even though he hadn't been to Liyuan Farm, he felt incredibly grateful for it.
Actually, his girlfriend also couldn't believe it. She never expected that a trip with her boyfriend would bring such an unexpected surprise.
Before returning home with her boyfriend, she had already made up her mind to work hard together and strive to buy a house in the city where they worked. If that wasn't possible, buying a house in the county town was also acceptable.
But now, what did she hear? Her boyfriend's family had already prepared a house for them in the county town and was even willing to buy them a house in the city where they worked.
The key was that her boyfriend seemed to have become a second-generation rich kid, and his family could earn over a hundred thousand a month.
This was several times more than their combined salaries.
It felt a bit surreal.
If she hadn't experienced it herself, she would've thought she was dreaming!
At this moment, his father warned, "Recently, don't have any contact with your little uncle's family. We've had a falling out with them."
"Huh? What's going on? Why did you fall out with your brother?" Bao Tai was stunned. His father sighed and said, "Your little uncle is a shallow-minded person who does nothing but complain about heaven and people. Your second uncle, Liu County, clearly shared money-making methods with us, but he hesitated and missed the opportunity. Now that he sees us making money, he's jealous and says we're selfish and don't want to help him earn money. He even badmouths your second uncle behind his back."
"Of course, I couldn't stand it and scolded him. Who would've thought he'd have the nerve to say that I don't treat him like a brother and ask me to choose sides, whether I'm on his side or your second uncle's side. Isn't he the one with the problem, Bao Tai? Whose side are you on?"
"Definitely your second uncle's," Bao Tai replied without hesitation.
Forget about that little uncle.
His second uncle was the real family.
Compared to the bewilderment of Bao Tai and others returning to Yu City, County Magistrate Liu also had a bewildered look on his face after receiving a phone call.
"What the hell is this nonsense? How can such a ridiculous thing happen?" County Magistrate Liu couldn't help but complain after hanging up the phone.
