Bang Geng was still not reconciled and wanted to chase after Wang Jun to continue pestering him, but unfortunately, Wang Jun had already walked far away.
If we discuss other matters, everything is negotiable. If we discuss lending money, absolutely not!
This kid Bang Geng inherited the fine traditions of Qin Huairu and Zhang Cuihua.
His thick skin was unusually tough.
This kid directly pestered Wang Jun relentlessly, insisting that Wang Jun lend him ten thousand yuan to open a restaurant.
Later, after days of闹腾 (pestering), Wang Jun became annoyed by Bang Geng's incessant demands.
Finally, Wang Jun gave Bang Geng a piece of advice: "You can sell the Jia family's house, and then you'll have the capital to start your business."
What Wang Jun said was purely out of desperation, a casual remark made because Bang Geng had pushed him too hard.
However, Wang Jun's words became like golden advice to Bang Geng!
Bang Geng immediately decided to sell his family's house to gather the capital for his business and make a grand venture.
In this era, the market environment had completely opened up.
It wasn't difficult for Bang Geng to find a buyer for the house.
The neighborhood committee could help him find a buyer.
However, property transactions were a major affair and not to be trifled with.
While Bang Geng was now an adult, the ownership of the Jia family's house was not solely in his hands.
Zhang Cuihua was dead, but don't forget: the Jia family also had Qin Huairu, Xiao Dang, and Xiao Huaihua.
Moreover, this was the only property the Jia family had. If Bang Geng sold the house, what would happen to the others?
Two buyers eventually found the Jia family through the neighborhood committee.
But in the end, neither of these buyers managed to complete the transaction.
Perhaps, buyers could disregard the wishes of Xiao Dang and Xiao Huaihua.
But no one could ignore Qin Huairu. Although Qin Huairu was still in prison, she was still a member of the Jia family.
If Bang Geng wanted to sell the house, he had to get Qin Huairu's consent.
At the same time, when signing the contract, Xiao Dang and Xiao Huaihua would also need to sign and place their handprints on the contract.
Otherwise, if the Jia family were to go back on their word in the future, the buyer would suffer a great loss.
After several days of effort, Bang Geng couldn't sell the house. He was so anxious he was screaming, but there was nothing he could do.
Finally, with no other options, Bang Geng shamelessly went to visit Qin Huairu in prison.
Qin Huairu was very happy to see Bang Geng through the iron bars.
"Bang Geng, my good son, you've finally grown up!"
Qin Huairu said with tears of sorrow, "Our family has been through so much!"
"From now on, you must carry the burden and take good care of your two younger sisters!"
Bang Geng replied with a stern face, "Mom, this matter is a bit difficult right now!"
"I've been looking for a job for over a month and couldn't find a suitable one!"
"The neighborhood committee said that my current situation doesn't meet the criteria for receiving relief funds!"
"They're going to cut off my relief funds, and I won't be able to survive anymore."
Qin Huairu retorted, "Bang Geng, didn't I hear a while ago that you found a job?"
"Why don't you have a job now? What's going on!"
Bang Geng looked dejected and sighed, "The job Wang Jun arranged for me was to clean toilets!"
"At my age, if he makes me clean toilets, wouldn't that ruin me completely!"
"Sigh!"
Qin Huairu also sighed, "Isn't this Wang Jun talking nonsense?"
"How can he make a young man like you clean toilets?"
"By the way, Bang Geng, if it's not possible, why don't you go to the factory and see… Red Star Steel Rolling Mill…"
"Don't mention the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill!"
Qin Huairu's words were interrupted by Bang Geng.
"If I go to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill as an apprentice, my salary will be less than what I'd get for cleaning toilets!"
Qin Huairu patiently explained, "Child, you must have a more long-term vision!"
"Although I don't like Liu Kai Xuan very much, his ability to endure hardship is worth learning from!"
"Back in the day, Liu Kai Xuan was also an apprentice at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill!"
"The money he earned each month wasn't even enough to support him and his sister!"
"Look at him now, he's a senior engineer, the head of the engineering department, and his income is terrifyingly high!"
"If you go to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill as an apprentice now, as long as you work hard, you'll have a promising future!"
Bang Geng retorted impatiently, "Mom, aren't your views too outdated?"
"Liu Kai Xuan hasn't worked at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill for a long time!"
"He's doing business now and has made a lot of money!"
"Ah, he's doing business himself…"
Qin Huairu had been in prison for many years and was largely out of touch with what was happening outside.
Next, Bang Geng briefly explained the situation outside to her.
Bang Geng told Qin Huairu all this with a purpose.
Bang Geng's goal was to persuade Qin Huairu to agree to sell the house so he could make a fortune in business.
However, Qin Huairu was strongly opposed to Bang Geng's idea.
"Bang Geng, are you crazy?"
"That house is for you to get married. Under no circumstances can that house be sold!"
"If we sell the house, where will our whole family live?"
Bang Geng replied through gritted teeth, "Mom, it's actually very easy to make money in business now!"
"Even a housewife like Zhao Feiyan can make a lot of money in business!"
"If I go into business now, I'm sure I'll make a fortune!"
"Mom, you can rest assured, give me this chance, and I promise I won't disappoint you!"
"No!"
Qin Huairu stated resolutely, "We can discuss other matters, but I will absolutely not agree to this one!"
"Bang Geng, you're still too young, you don't understand how treacherous the world can be!"
"Mom, are you really trying to force me into a corner?"
Bang Geng was becoming frantic, "I'm your biological son!"
"You'd rather believe others than your own son, right?"
Qin Huairu stubbornly replied, "This is not a question of believing you or not!"
"Bang Geng, you've grown up now!"
"Since you've grown up, you should have the awareness of an adult!"
"At all times, you must leave yourself a way out!"
"Right now, this house is our only fallback!"
"If we sell the house now, we'll have no way out!"
