"Grandpa, I'm being serious, I'm not joking!" Xiao Ning was both amused and exasperated. This old man was truly like a child; as he got older, his temper became just like a child's.
At this moment, Xiao Qiang finished washing up and came out with a bowl of porridge. Hearing the conversation between the grandfather and grandson, she pointed to the Lamborghini on the ground outside the door and asked Xiao Yousheng, "Grandpa, do you know how much my brother's two cars are worth?"
"This car? It looks a bit strange, but it should be worth at least a hundred thousand!"
Xiao Yousheng squinted and sized him up for a while before scoffing, "This kid only cares about looks. He's not practical at all. I'd rather buy a minivan. It could help me load grain during the summer harvest!"
"puff!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Upon hearing Xiao Yousheng's words, Xiao Qiang spat out a mouthful of porridge, then threw her head back and laughed heartily.
Xiao Ning's expression froze, and he was quite speechless.
Although I know Xiao Yousheng is right, in rural areas, practicality is definitely the first consideration when buying a car.
But why does it feel a little strange?
Comparing a limited-edition Lamborghini to a minivan? How could he even think of that?
Xiao Qiang wiped her mouth, stopped laughing, her body still trembling, and said, "Master, listen carefully, I'm afraid you'll be very surprised later!"
"Tch, little brat, do you think I'm easily scared?"
Xiao Yousheng scoffed and said with a cold snort, "Tell me, how much is this car really worth?"
"Grandpa, be prepared, I'm about to tell you!" Xiao Qiang made a face.
"Speak up, stop keeping me in suspense!" Xiao Yousheng urged.
Xiao Qiang cleared her throat and said in a high-pitched voice, "Well, Grandpa, listen up! My brother's car is called a Lamborghini Veneno, also known as the Poison. Only nine were ever made in the world, and it costs 43.12 million yuan! How about that, Grandpa? Pretty awesome, right?"
"What?"
Xiao Yousheng stared wide-eyed, looking incredulous.
"This piece of junk is worth forty million? That's robbery!"
"Ning Yazi, where did you get this car?"
After a moment of surprise, Xiao Yousheng quickly realized what was happening. He looked at Xiao Ning with a serious expression and questioned, "Ning, have you been doing something bad? Or... have you been trafficking drugs in Southeast Asia?"
At this moment, Xiao Yousheng's expression was indescribably solemn, his face was stern, but his body was trembling slightly.
"Sir, what are you thinking about?"
Xiao Ning shook his head and explained, "How could I possibly dare to touch that thing? Unless I'm suicidal. Don't worry, this money all came from stock trading, so you can rest assured!"
This wasn't Xiao Ning lying; when the sign-in system gave out rewards, it had already automatically arranged for the rewards to come from the normal source.
It is absolutely clean and innocent, conducted through legitimate channels, and is verifiable.
Among these sources was a stock account under Xiao Ning's name, which contained transaction records from recent years, clearly showing the profit details of each transaction.
"Stock trading? When did you learn how to trade stocks? I've never heard of it. And where did you get the start-up capital?"
Xiao Yousheng still refused to believe it and pressed for an explanation.
"Oh dear, you see for yourself!"
Xiao Ning didn't want to waste any more words, so he took out his phone, opened the stock trading software, and showed him the transaction details in the background.
Fortunately, these things were prepared in advance, and no matter who investigates, they cannot find any problems. Others will only sigh and say that it is really lucky and insightful to make nearly 100 million yuan in stock trading.
Xiao Yousheng squinted, leaned closer, and looked at it for a long time, but couldn't understand anything. He immediately stopped showing his understanding, handed the phone back to Xiao Ning, and warned, "Ning, you should find something serious to do. I don't think stock trading is very reliable!"
"This kind of behavior is pure gambling. Even though Grandpa is old and doesn't know anything about stocks, he still knows a little bit. Doing this, you can make money today and lose money tomorrow. The risk is too great!"
Even though older people don't understand stock trading, they know one thing: it's best not to do things that are too risky.
"Sir, I stopped all trading as soon as I came back from Yuhang, and I don't plan to do this anymore. Just like you said, the risks are too great, and the mental pressure is too much!"
Xiao Ning nodded in agreement with the old man's words. The old man's statement, which was seven parts false and three parts true, made it difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
"I plan to start a small business after the New Year, starting small and accumulating experience. Even if I lose money, I won't lose too much."
After listening, Xiao Yousheng nodded and replied, "Doing business is good! I support you!"
Xiao Ning smiled and said, "Then, sir, let's move to the city after the New Year! That way I can take care of my parents!"
He was convinced that this would finally convince his grandfather to agree to move to the city.
To everyone's surprise, Xiao Yousheng still shook his head and refused: "Let's forget it. We don't know anyone in the city. Your grandma and I are used to living in the countryside. We're old and don't want to go through all that trouble!"
"Besides, there are so many animals at home to take care of; we can't just abandon them all, can we?"
That old stubborn man is impossible to reason with.
Xiao Ning opened her mouth, but didn't know how to persuade him anymore. She was at a loss for the moment and could only try to deal with it slowly.
A little while later, Xiao Qiang finished her breakfast, leaned close to Xiao Ning, and said mysteriously, "Brother, have you seen the news? You're famous!"
Xiao Ning was taken aback, confused but impressed: "What's trending? I've been busy these past few days and haven't been online much, what's wrong?"
Xiao Qiang took out her phone, opened Douyin, swiped through it casually, and handed it to him, saying, "Look, this is a short video that someone posted yesterday morning, and it already has more than 1.3 million likes and more than 50,000 comments!"
"Really? Let me see!"
