I really didn’t want to be a warm man when I was reborn

Pudong, Waigaoqiao.

Mingjingjiayuan community.

Early in the morning, He Zhigang and Lu Qian were busy packing their luggage and preparing to drive out.

Lu Qian put all the items she needed to carry with her into her handbag, and then picked up her two-year-old daughter. He Zhigang dragged the suitcase and carried large and small bags.

"Is there nothing left behind?" Lu Qian scanned the small room again, worried that she had forgotten something.

"No."

"Have you brought your ID card, gas card, and mobile phone charger?"

"Don't worry, you've brought them all."

He Zhigang looked at the time and said, "Let's leave quickly. Lao Wang and the others have already set off and should be waiting for us at the meeting point."

During this year's National Day holiday, Wang Zhiheng, whom he hadn't seen for many years, came to Shanghai with his daughter-in-law and made a date with He Zhigang. The two families went on a self-driving trip together.

"Don't worry? You are always careless, how can I rest assured? Last time we went out to play, you just forgot your wallet and ID card at home, and as a result, you were delayed and missed the plane." Lu Qian said a little naggingly.

He Zhigang felt upset and sighed helplessly in his heart.

When they were in love before, Lu Qian had a good personality, gentle and sensible, but after giving birth to the child, she seemed to be a different person. She would lose her temper for no apparent reason and would nag her over and over again about the smallest things.

In 2014, seeing that housing prices continued to rise and that the money he had saved could never keep up with the rise in housing prices, He Zhigang finally couldn't bear it anymore and stopped worrying about face and dignity, so he asked Li Zhe for a loan of 200,000 yuan.

The process of borrowing money went much smoother than expected. After he hesitated to speak, Li Zhe agreed without hesitation and asked someone to withdraw 200,000 in cash and asked if the money was enough.

He Zhigang was very touched and felt that Li Zhe was quite a good friend and did not look down on his friend just because of his different status.

Unlike that kid Yang Hao, he has the face of a villain who has succeeded.

After borrowing 200,000 yuan from Li Zhe, He Zhigang borrowed 60,000 yuan from Liu Kaiyue. Adding the 160,000 to 70,000 yuan he had saved over the years, he made up a total of 42,000 to 30,000 yuan.

After getting money, He Zhigang and his girlfriend Lu Qian began to look at houses all over Pudong, and finally bought a one-bedroom, one-living, 56.78-square-meter small apartment in the Central and Outer Ring Road (Waigaoqiao) area. .

About 21,000 per square meter, the total price of the house is 1.2 million, the down payment is 360,000, plus taxes and other miscellaneous things, it is just over 400,000.

After they got the house, He Zhigang and Lu Qian got married that year. He gave them a symbolic gift of 28,888 yuan. The Lu family paid for the decoration of the house and also gave them some home appliances.

In the first two or three years of marriage, He Zhigang had a very difficult life. He had to pay seven to eight thousand a month for the mortgage and car loan. In the second year of marriage, Lu Qian became pregnant and had to raise a child.

His salary at that time was only 8,000 to 9,000 yuan after tax. Although the mortgage and car loan were nominally paid by two people, Lu Qian was just an ordinary salesperson in the mobile business hall, and her salary was only 3,000 to 4,000 yuan. She spent money quite a lot. There is not much money left every month.

At that time, He Zhigang quit smoking and drinking in order to save money. He didn't have to smoke or drink, but his daughter's milk powder diapers had to be of good quality.

Fortunately, he was promoted to department head this year, his salary doubled, and his car loan will be paid off next month, so he finally has a lot of money.

He Zhigang dragged his suitcase, plus large and small bags. Lu Qian held the child in one hand and a handbag in the other. The family of three came out of the house and took the elevator to the underground parking lot of the community.

He Zhigang took out the car key and unlocked the car, then opened the door to let Lu Qian and the child get in the car, then opened the trunk and put the luggage in.

This Sagitar 1.4T was made with the share money he received when he and Lu Qian got married, plus the 20,000 to 30,000 that Lu Qian had saved as a down payment.

He Zhigang originally disagreed with buying a car just after getting married. He wanted to wait for two years before doing so, as it would be too stressful to pay off both the mortgage and car loans. But Lu Qian insisted on buying it, saying it was too inconvenient not to have a car.

In fact, after having a car, their lives have become much more convenient.

He Zhigang also relied on working part-time on Didi after get off work to get through the most difficult period.

After He Zhigang also got in the car, Lu Qian glanced at him and said, "Brother Gang, I want to discuss something with you."

"What's up?"

He Zhigang knew as soon as he heard that she must want to buy something again.

When the two fell in love, Lu Qian was a tough guy, but after getting married, she gradually stopped screaming.

It's not that she has stopped barking completely. Once she wants something, she will still bark once or twice realistically.

"Now that we have a lot of money, why don't we buy a better car?"

"Change the car?" He Zhigang paused as he started the car.

"It's not about changing a car, it's about buying a new, better car." Lu Qian emphasized.

"Let's wait for two or three years. We don't have much money now, and we can't even come up with the down payment to buy another car."

In He Zhigang's opinion, this Sagitar priced at 160,000 to 70,000 yuan is enough, not to mention that the car has just been bought two or three years ago and is quite new, so there is no need to rush to buy a better new car.

"I didn't say buy it now. There are still three or four months before you guys should get your year-end bonus. If you get promoted this year, your year-end bonus will definitely increase a lot. You should get it by 50,000 or 60,000, right?"

In addition, the money in our hands is not enough and we need to borrow some money from others. It is not a problem to buy an Audi Q3 with a down payment. "

Lu Qian paused and then said: "I am also thinking about you. It will be more honorable for you to get a better car after you get promoted. I will drive this Sagitar, so you don't have to take me to and from get off work every day. ”

"Let's talk about it then." He Zhigang said calmly.

Seeing He Zhigang's perfunctory attitude, Lu Qian immediately became unhappy, "I'm not telling you, you are just too rigid-minded. If you could be more flexible, you would have been promoted long ago based on your relationship with Mr. Li. We have to wait until now.”

"Look for opportunities to go to Mr. Li's place more often during the holidays. Ask for help when it's time to ask. Don't keep losing face. Occasionally troublesome people can bring you closer to each other. If you can't do things like you, no matter how good the relationship is, It will also be broken.”

He Zhigang remained silent, stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped out of the community.

The biggest problem between him and Lu Qian is that their values ​​​​are too different. Lu Qian is the only daughter in the family. She was pampered by her parents since she was a child. She has no idea that life is not easy. She always spends money lavishly and likes to spend impulsively. She has no idea of ​​saving money. .

The understanding of the relationship between him and Li Zhe is a bit taken for granted.

When He Zhigang and Lu Qian got married, Li Zhe did not come to the wedding, but asked Liu Kaiyue to send a red envelope on his behalf.

When He Zhigang opened the red envelope and found that it contained the 200,000 yuan IOU written by him, he understood that the friendship between him and Li Zhe as a classmate had been exhausted.

If the affection is gone, don't trouble others anymore, otherwise even the last bit of affection will be gone.

He is just an ordinary person and a top rich man like Li Zhe, and he is not from the same world at all.

In fact, what He Zhigang didn't know was that Li Zhe would lend him 200,000 yuan in the name of borrowing money, just to repay the lottery ticket he gave him in his previous life.

Li Zhe still knows how to repay kindness, but he can't do such a thing as feeding the young master cakes and repaying kindness with hatred.

For a lottery bet of 2 yuan, he gave He Zhigang 200,000 yuan, which was considered a ten thousand-fold repayment.

He Zhigang drove south and soon came to a rest area. As soon as he stopped the car, a white BMW honked its horn and the car door was pushed open. Wang Zhiheng, who was a little fat, got out of the car with a woman. walked up and down.

"Brother Gang, you are finally here!"

As soon as He Zhigang and Lu Qian got out of the car, they saw Wang Zhiheng coming over with a smile.

"Old Wang!" He Zhigang said with emotion in his tone.

But we haven’t seen each other for five or six years. Wang Zhiheng, who was a bit handsome at the time, has now become a middle-aged greasy uncle.

Of course, he himself wasn't much better. His figure had gained a lot of weight, and his abdominal muscles had turned into a beer belly.

It seems that only Li Zhe has not changed at all and looks as young as he did then.

It’s good to have money!
