Chapter 279: Chapter 189: Bringing Misfortune to One Family Only!

Shen Qiushan had wanted to transfer some money to his sister for a long time to improve her life.

But previously, his visible wealth wasn’t that much. Now it’s different; the news about selling the film rights of “Three-Body Civilization” for 250 million is everywhere.

Everyone knows Shen Qiushan is a billionaire now!

As for why he gave 3 million.

Because Shen Qiushan calculated that paying off the loan, replacing the car, and building a house wouldn’t add up to more than 1.5 million.

Which means, after solving these issues, his sister Shen Dehua would still have a savings of over 1 million.

For an ordinary family, this amount of money is sufficient for the time being.

Money is indeed a good thing!

However, it’s also a double-edged sword. If you suddenly become rich without the ability to control wealth, it’s not necessarily a good thing.

There was once a survey conducted by an institution in the United States; within 20 years, people who won big in lotteries had a bankruptcy rate of 75%!

Five years after winning, 70% of them lived worse than before!

There is no real-name system for big lottery wins domestically, so this probability can’t be statistically verified, but occasionally news appears of past big winners returning to poverty, and it’s estimated this probability isn’t low either.

Shen Dehua is just an ordinary housewife with limited knowledge, and if Shen Qiushan suddenly gave her ten or twenty million, it could end up harming her.

Solving her current financial pressures and letting her have a considerable amount of savings is the best situation.

“Brother, this is too much!”

“How can we spend it all!”

Shen Dehua looked at her brother with tear-filled eyes.

She knew her brother Shen Qiushan made a lot of money writing books, but she never really thought about asking him for money.

Shen Dehua is a woman with simple and traditional beliefs, and all these years she helped Shen Qiushan take care of his two kids, which she saw as a matter of course.

Her brother’s children had lost their mother, and as an aunt, if she didn’t help take care of them, who would!

After all, she shares the same surname “Shen”!

“If you can’t spend it all, just save it.”

At that moment the elevator arrived, and Shen Qiushan walked in first.

“Brother, where are you going?”

Shen Dehua followed him into the elevator; her home was just downstairs, so taking the elevator down was understandable.

But so late at night, shouldn’t Shen Qiushan be heading home?

“Going out.”

Shen Qiushan casually replied, he was planning to visit an old flame.

During the long holiday, Chen Xiangyu had sent him quite a few messages, but Shen Qiushan was in Beijing, too far away!

Now that he’s back, he should visit his old flame to make up for it.

Before Shen Dehua could ask further, they’d already arrived, it was just one floor after all.

“Brother, take care then.”

As she walked out of the elevator, Shen Dehua reminded him.

The elevator doors closed and continued downwards.

But Shen Dehua didn’t go home right away.

She picked up her phone again, opened the bank message, and carefully counted the zeros after the 3!

Indeed, there were six!

A full 3 million!!

Shen Dehua wiped away the joyful tears from the corners of her eyes; no one dislikes money.

Moreover, Shen Dehua was really in need of money.

Since her daughter was born, she almost hadn’t worked, and the household expenses were all supported by her husband Zheng Yi.

Fortunately, as a high-speed train driver, Zheng Yi’s income was decent, enough to support the family, but in a big city like Sanjiang, not much could be saved.

Furthermore, Zheng Yi’s parents were farmers without pensions and occasionally needed financial help from them.

The most troubling issue was that the house back in Zheng Yi’s hometown, due to its age, had the roof leak twice already and was nearly a dangerous building.

Repairing it was only a temporary fix.

To truly resolve the problem, rebuilding was best, but building a new house in the countryside now costs quite a bit—at least two to three hundred thousand.

So, the matter of building a house had always been a worry for Zheng Yi.

Shen Dehua also wished to help her husband with the issue, but the problem was that she couldn’t come up with twenty to thirty thousand.

Now there was money.

All problems resolved!

After calming her excitement,

Shen Dehua returned home.

The living room was completely dark.

Yet on the balcony, there was the faint flash of red light.

Zheng Yi was standing there smoking.

Shen Dehua quickly walked over and slid open the balcony door.

“You’re back. How’s Xiaoxiao?”

Zheng Yi flicked off the ash from his cigarette.

“It’s nothing much, after so many years of sports, Xiaoxiao is healthy.”

“That’s good!”

Zheng Yi nodded, then took a deep drag of his cigarette.

“What are you doing smoking here so late at night instead of sleeping?”

Shen Dehua asked.

“I checked the weather forecast while lying down.”

“Heavy rain back home.”

Zheng Yi sighed, “I wonder if the repaired roof can hold.”

“Ask Mom and Dad to go stay at San’er’s place first!”

Shen Dehua suggested.

“I just told San’er, and that boy insisted it’s fine.”

“I also mentioned building the house, that we’d pay 100,000 while he pays 50,000, which should be enough for 150,000.”

“Guess what San’er said?”

Zheng Yi shook his head, angrily said, “That boy said he didn’t even have 5,000 and said at Mom and Dad’s age, there’s no need to bother them with it.”

“Listen, is that something a person would say!”

Hearing this, Shen Dehua laughed.

“What, you think this is funny?”

Zheng Yi was speechless.

“You’ve known for years what San’er is like!”

“Expecting him to pay, might as well forget it!”

Zheng Yi had a sister and a brother.

The sister married far away and was living barely, so she wasn’t reliable.

The brother was in the village. At his wedding, Zheng Yi and his parents together paid for a new house for him.

The youngest in the family often gets the spoiling, but when they grow up, they’re the least reliable for the parents!

“I’ll pay for the house!”

Just when Zheng Yi was sighing in frustration, Shen Dehua declared with boldness.

“Our savings aren’t enough!”

Zheng Yi shook his head, having calculated that even emptying their savings, they could only muster 100,000, which was extremely risky with any unexpected event in the upcoming months potentially leaving them without emergency funds.

“We have money now!”

“Look!”

Grinning, Shen Dehua handed the phone to Zheng Yi.

“What is it?”

Zheng Yi looked doubtful but craned his neck to look, then widened his eyes in shock, his breath turning rapid: “Three, 3 million??”

“Hmm!”

“3 million!”

Shen Dehua nodded proudly, “From my brother!”

“All, all for us?”

Zheng Yi still found it unbelievable, stammering in his question.

Shen Dehua chuckled, pointing her lips forward, “No!”

“It’s for me!”

“However, if you behave well later, not only can I pay for the house,”

“I can also get you a new car!”

“Let’s go!!”

Zheng Yi picked up his wife and headed for the bedroom with strides.

In this moment, he felt an endless surge of energy.
