Chapter 16: Interest is the Rent of Capital

"Brother Jun!" Liu Liang's chubby hand reached out from behind and hugged Gu Mingjun's shoulder.

Gu Mingjun was waiting for the bus stop and smiled and said, "Aren't you going home to play games?"

"Didn't you say, have something to ask me to do? Although I'm not interested in money, I'm very enthusiastic about helping my friends." When Liu Liang smiled, his already small eyes were squeezed into a crack by his fat face. At first glance, he looked quite similar to a male host on Provincial TV.

Gu Mingjun thought for a while and said, "If you really want to go, I'll go find you at 6:30 tomorrow morning."

"So early? I can't get up!" Liu Liang said in surprise, "What are you going to do? You have to do so early? Do you want to set up a stall to make money?"

Gu Mingjun smiled indifferently: "Setting up a stall? I will never be able to set up a stall in my life. There are so many ways to make money!"

He gently tapped his head: "Making money from here is faster than making money from labor."

Liu Liang saw a strange stream of light flashing in his friend's eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking?

"Okay, no matter what you do, I will be with you." Liu Liang patted his big belly.

Gu Mingjun nodded: "See you tomorrow."

Liu Liang smiled and turned around and left.

When Gu Mingjun returned home, he saw his family sitting on the wooden sofa, frowning.

"Dad, don't you have to work overtime today?" Gu Mingjun asked with a smile.

Gu Jianguo sighed sadly: "Go to work? Go to work! You won't have any more time in the future!"

Gu Mingjun heard the smell: "The factory fired you?"

Gu Jianguo snorted indignantly: "It's not just a financial case that caused a riot!"

Gu Mingjun was not surprised. He put down his schoolbag and picked up the teacup to drink: "Didn't Zhou Ye prove your innocence? Why are you still involved in this situation?"

Gu Jianguo sneered: "The management has long planned to lay off employees! Now, they have found a reason! Taking advantage of the outbreak of the financial case, one-third of the people were laid off at once! The reason they drove me away did not say what responsibility I had to bear in the financial case, but said that the factory suffered serious losses and had difficulty in operation, and laying off people was for self-rescue. Humph, why not lay off other people?"

Gu Mingjun said: "It's good to leave, but there is no future if you stay - there is still compensation?"

Gu Jianguodao: "I compensated for three months' salary! What's the point! What's the point? What's the use of this little money? There are so many places to use money at home! What to do in the future! Alas, I'm so worried about myself!"

Gu Mingjun knew that what his father said was not false, and the hard days of this family were just beginning!

Mother He Suli has been wiping her tears.

Gu Mingjun thought she was sad because her father was unemployed, but who knew that something more important happened at home?

He Suli shed tears and choked and said, "Xiaojun, your grandfather is gone..."

Of course Gu Mingjun understood this and couldn't help but repeat: "Grandpa is gone?"

"Your dad and I will go back to your grandfather's house tomorrow. You will be taking the college entrance examination soon, so don't go to the funeral." He Suli said, "I have asked for leave for Panpan. We may not be able to return to the city next week."

It's really a disaster!

Gu Mingjun remembered that he did not go to see off his grandfather in his previous life.

"Mom, I read this book for one more day and one less day, and there is not much difference. When my grandfather left, I have to kowtow." Gu Mingjun has a lot of feelings for his grandfather and often went to his grandfather's house to play when he was a child.

Grandpa and grandma are both kind old men and are particularly good to Gu Mingjun. They will keep whatever they have to eat for him.

After Gu Mingjun became more sensible, the last thing he regretted was that he could not go to see his grandfather for the last journey.

He Suli held her son's hand: "Xiaojun, you are sensible."

Gu Jianguo frowned: "The factory's compensation has not been paid yet. We cannot afford to pay less funeral gifts. This money?"

Gu Dingwu said: "I have some money on the memorial. I'll take it out, you guys will use it first."

Gu Jianguodao: "Dad, that's your and your mom's coffin board, how can we use it?"

Gu Dingwu said: "What are yours and mines? Are they all from this family? You are urgently using the money now, so you can use it first. If we leave one day, you may not care about burying it?"

Gu Jianguo just shook his head and said it was hard: "I'll go find someone to borrow money! I'll pay it back to others when the compensation is released. I still have this little face."

Starting today, borrowing money and debt will become the norm for this family, and it will be difficult to alleviate within a few years.

Gu Mingjun tightened the teacup in his hand and said slowly: "Dad, I'll solve the money problem, I have a solution."

Everyone in the family was shocked, even more panicked than hearing that he got the last place in the school!

"Xiaojun, what did you say?" He Suli stood up like a fire on her butt and said hurriedly, "You can't go out to do bad things! No matter how difficult our family is, we can't go outside and steal!"

"Mom! You're thinking too much!" Gu Mingjun smiled, "Don't you know your son yet? How many courage do I have to go outside and steal?"

He Suli said in confusion: "Then where did you just say go to get the money?"

Gu Mingjun said: "I'll ask someone to borrow money. You need interest if you borrow money, but I don't need interest if I borrow money!"

Interest is the rent of capital.

The essence of capital is profit-seeking.

Gu Jianguo asked, "No interest is needed? Who lends it to you?"

Gu Mingjun said: "A classmate of mine is very wealthy and usually takes care of his pocket money for several thousand yuan. I asked him to borrow a few thousand yuan, which would be no problem. The most important thing is that there is no interest."

Gu Jianguo was silent for a while and said, "If you really don't have interest, then it would be fine to borrow it for two months. After I got my compensation, I would repay it to others as soon as possible. But, if you ask him to lend it, he would lend it to you?"

Gu Mingjun smiled and said, "Dad, in your words, who doesn't have any thin face yet? Don't worry, I'll go tonight. If I can't borrow it, it's not too late for you to do it again."

Gu Jianguo instructed: "Xiaojun, if someone refuses, then forget it, don't force him."

Gu Mingjun said: "I know!"

Of course, he didn't ask who would borrow money, but he had another kind of concern in his heart, but he just couldn't tell his family.

Gu Mingjun originally planned to go with Liu Liang tomorrow morning, but now that the plan has changed, he made up his mind to go out for a walk in the evening.

After dinner, Gu Mingjun was so angry that the 28-large bar at home were so angry that he pushed out the door.

He first went to the corner of the street and called Liu Liang's house, but no one answered.

Liu Liang and his family are all in the game hall now, right?

Gu Mingjun rode his bike to the "Imperial Capital" game hall, leaned against the wall, lifted up the plastic curtain, and walked in.

"Ho hoho! Oh ooh!" Liu Liang was sitting in front of a gaming console, having fun, and kept shouting and cheering for fun.

Gu Mingjun patted him on the shoulder.

Liu Liang shook his hand: "Don't make noise! ​​I will definitely win this game!"

Gu Mingjun smiled and said, "Rayon, it's me."

"Oh, Brother Jun, you're here just in time. Start the machine and play together!"

"I have something to do, please accompany me!"

"What can happen to this big night?"

"I originally planned to go again tomorrow, but my grandfather passed away. I will go back to my grandfather's house tomorrow, so I will act tonight."

"Oh, your grandfather is dead? Okay, let's accompany you now!" Liu Liang stood up without any nostalgia, allowing the characters in the game to be cut by the enemy and flew everywhere. He ignored it.

Gu Mingjun secretly praised Liu Liang, he is really a buddy.

When Liu Liang saw Gu Mingjun riding a bicycle, he said, "I have a motorcycle at home, I can ride it."

Gu Mingjun thought for a while and said, "The motorcycle is too loud and it is inconvenient. It's better to ride a bicycle."
