Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 334 Family Fund
For Lin Yuliang and Xu Xiuyun, the nature of many things changed after Bing Ning's biological father came and made a scene.

Although they still called every day to check on Bingning, since she showed no intention of returning, they didn't bring it up themselves.

No matter what, he is Bingning's biological father, and they have no right to complain.

There are always people at home now, especially since Lin Lang is coming back today, and even more people have come specifically to see him.

When Lin Lang returned, he saw seven or eight people in his house.

The cigarettes on the coffee table were all in cartons, and several packs had been opened next to them.

The household suffered considerable damage throughout the day.

As soon as Lin Lang entered the room, everyone's attention was immediately drawn to him.

"Langlang is back."

"Uncle, Third Uncle, you're both here."

Lin Lang immediately went to sit down on the sofa and greeted his relatives.

Lin Lang didn't mind getting along with these relatives at all; at least when something happened, these relatives were truly there for him.

It definitely doesn't refer to work-related matters, but rather to things that require the willpower of a large number of people.

You may never need this in your life, but you can't be without it.

However, this doesn't mean Lin Lang can accept anything. After all, human nature is very complex. If you're too nice to people, they might think you're a sucker and take your kindness for granted.

Lin Lang's relatives are all quite nice; none of them are extreme. Even the very snobbish auntie will help when needed.

For example, when I went back to my hometown, my parents arranged blind dates for me, and my older sister Lin Li introduced me to the best-looking teacher at her school.

If they hadn't taken this matter to heart, they wouldn't have bothered to introduce Li Wanqing; they could have just found someone else.

After all, introducing Lin Wanqing would require a lot of effort from Lin Li's side, and it was also the kind of thing that could easily fail.

If it fails, you'll still have to worry about it afterwards.

"Langlang, why didn't you bring your girlfriend back?"

"Yes, I brought her, but she and her parents live in the county town. They'll be here the day after tomorrow."

"Is your girlfriend Yan Li? She seems to be quite famous online."

"Yes, she has almost 30 million followers now, and I just follow her around to get some work..."

Lin Lang can use Yan Li as a shield at any time, since few people really know what he is doing.

Especially since he had disappeared from the list of shareholders of Tianjin Capital, most people wouldn't be able to find out even if they wanted to, so they wouldn't think much of it.

"When are you planning to get married? Your parents can't wait any longer. Besides, you have a career now, so you should settle down as soon as possible."

"Yes, yes, but these things haven't been confirmed yet. I'll discuss it with her properly when I have some free time..."

These relatives definitely came with ulterior motives, but they wouldn't come up and ask for this and that right away; everyone has some sense of propriety.

Bing Ning also returned with Lin Lang, but apart from Xu Xiuyun noticing her, no one else seemed interested in her.

Xu Xiuyun watched Lin Lang chat with those relatives while she took Bing Ning inside.

“Ningning, don’t leave again this time. The New Year is coming soon, give yourself a break. You can deal with work after the New Year.”

"Mom, I'm fine, I'm just in the county."

"You live so close, why don't you come back to live here?"

"I..." Bing Ning didn't know what to say.

"You really think we're afraid of your dad? If it weren't for you, I would have kicked him out that day... Although it's not convenient for us to get involved in your father-daughter relationship, you can live wherever you want. Do you think your family will look down on you? Besides, your brother isn't a strong enough backer, you still have your sister-in-law. Speaking of Lili, she even gave you two sets of skincare products..."

Actually, only one set was given as a gift, but two extra sets were also given to Xu Xiuyun. Xu Xiuyun herself didn't know how to use the things, and her niece Lin Li saw them and took one set. She planned to give the other two to Bing Ning.

"No, no, no, my brother is already a great support, I'm just afraid of causing you trouble..."

"What trouble are we causing? I've disliked that guy for a long time. He doesn't love his daughter, but we'll do it for him! If he dares to come here again, I'll tear his face off!"

This is Ms. Xu's specialty.

Last time, because she wasn't quite sure of the situation and saw that Bing Ning's biological father seemed to be a big boss, she was a little hesitant to act.

Now that her son and daughter-in-law are back, she has someone to back her up.

If that old man dares to come and cause trouble again, or dares to say things like "my daughter doesn't want anyone else to raise her," Xu Xiuyun is prepared to unleash her ultimate move.

Bingning felt that Xu Xiuyun and Lin Lang had similar personalities, and Lin Lang had just said something similar.

Just then, Lin Lang walked over, saw Xu Xiuyun and Bing Ning, put one arm around Xu Xiuyun's shoulder and the other around Bing Ning's shoulder, and said, "Mom, what are you talking about?"

"We didn't talk much. Are you hungry? Mom will go get you something to eat."

"There are so many people outside, we can't all eat at home, we'll go out to eat later, I've already made a reservation."

"It's not much trouble to cook a few dishes at home..."

"The main problem is that the smoke from their cigarettes at home is so thick, so we're letting them smoke somewhere else..."

"It's all because your dad spoils you. As a result, the temperature in the house has never been high, and it's freezing cold."

"It'll be done soon. I'll take care of these relatives' matters tonight."

The reason these people keep coming here is that they're looking for opportunities.

Unfortunately, Lin Yuliang couldn't make any decisions, so things didn't make any progress.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiuyun quickly said, "They heard that you arranged a job with five social insurances and one housing fund for your younger brother Lin Hui, and they all want to work for your company. You have to be careful; you can't agree to everything. You should refuse when necessary. If it's inconvenient for you to say something, just tell me. It's just that your third uncle's family is having some difficulties right now..."

"Mom, don't worry, I'll take care of everything. You don't need to get involved."

Lin Lang must know the situation of his relatives. For example, this third uncle of his had been working on a construction site for many years when he was injured and his wife ran away. He was raising two children alone.

Over the years, I've basically had to give each of my mother's relatives some money.

My third uncle's two children are both in high school and doing quite well academically. They'll need a lot of money in the future. With my third uncle's limp, he simply can't find any decent work.

“We can’t let them suffer a loss. They’re all elementary school graduates, or at most junior high school graduates. How can they work for your company?”

"Mom, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

"Okay, which restaurant did you book?"

"We specifically stopped at Wang's Restaurant in town on the way back to discuss it."

"Then hurry up and pack your things. Have you brought your luggage down yet?"

"No, there are still some things I bought for you in the back of the car. You and Dad go and move them. I'm going back to my room to wash my face."

"Row."

Xu Xiuyun left.

Bingning looked at Lin Lang's hand on her shoulder and grabbed it. "You said I was brave last time, but I think you're pretty brave too."

"I hadn't even noticed until you told me, you jerk, you've corrupted me! Come on, go wash your face, we'll eat together later."

"I'll go help Mom and Dad move their things, you go by yourself."

Lin Lang: "..."

Is this fucking right?
Shouldn't Bingning make the most of her spare time?

It seems to be gradually returning to normal.

Was it because her biological father came and caused trouble?

Lin Lang could only think of this one reason: although her father's trouble-making was not a good thing for her, it wasn't that bad either.

At least she knew that there were people in her own home who genuinely cared for her.

Not long after, Lin Lang came downstairs.

Relatives also set off one after another, and Lin Lang finally drove his mother and Bing Ning along.

……

There are many restaurants and eateries in the town, some specializing in fast food and others specializing in group meals.

As the year draws to a close, business has improved considerably; otherwise, aside from catering and banquets, business has been less than promising.

This is the disadvantage of rural towns: their purchasing power is very low.

Living in a rural town means that even if you need to buy everything, it won't cost much as long as you're willing to accept some imperfections.

Vegetables cost only a few cents per pound, and meat is relatively cheap, especially chicken, duck, and fish.

As long as you don't go after wild fish, free-range chickens, or old ducks, the quality of other products may be slightly inferior to those in big city supermarkets, but the price difference is often significant.

Without smoking or drinking, you can live a diet of two to three thousand yuan a month on just five hundred yuan.

However, when it comes to certain services or crafts, even if it's slightly cheaper than elsewhere, the difference won't be significant.

A typical example is restaurants, where a single stir-fried dish can cost tens or hundreds of yuan, and a large dish can easily cost several hundred yuan.

We're just having a quick bite today. The family event is the day after tomorrow, and that's when our relatives will come with their whole families.

Around 8:30, when the meal was already halfway through, Lin Lang's uncle, who was sitting next to him, spoke up.

The eldest uncle had drunk a little, and the alcohol was making his face flush. He put his arm around Lin Lang's shoulder and said, "Langlang, in our Xu family, you are the most successful one."

Lin Lang said with a smile, "My eldest uncle, my cousins ​​are all quite good too, and my third uncle's cousins ​​might even be better than me in the future."

“Sigh, my two are good-for-nothings. They’re neither married nor have jobs. They just drift through life. Your third uncle’s family is indeed well-off, but the cost of college isn’t low… You just graduated, so you should know that college tuition plus living expenses will easily cost ten or twenty thousand a year.”

"Yes, ten or twenty thousand is relatively low. Normally it would be around thirty thousand."

"Yes, one costs 30,000, two would cost 60,000. Your third uncle's two children are one after the other, one will take the college entrance exam after the new year, and the other the year after. Your third uncle himself only earns about 10,000 yuan a year. They say he can apply for a poverty subsidy, but those subsidies are very limited. He can only say he won't starve."

Everyone at the table was waiting for a chance to speak, and Lin Lang's uncle was the first to find a starting point for the conversation, so everyone was happy to wait.

Lin Lang said, "Uncle, I understand what you mean. I definitely can't ignore what's going on in my third uncle's family. I thought about these things before I came back. I originally wanted to wait until the day after tomorrow night when we relatives have a meeting, and then I would announce it. But it's no big deal to say it in advance."

"Hahaha... With you saying that, we're relieved." Lin Lang's uncle patted his shoulder, indicating his approval, and then asked, "So what kind of job are you planning to arrange for your uncle? Preferably something that's not too strenuous."

"It's like this, finding a suitable job right away is definitely not something you can do in a short time. You have to find one based on your own abilities, otherwise it's meaningless. My idea has nothing to do with work; it's that I'm planning to set aside some money..."

"Pay money? That... is acceptable..."

“Uncle, this is what I’m thinking: I’ll set aside a sum of money each year to subsidize the elderly and children in the family.”

"What? A subsidy? What kind of subsidy?"

"Let's do it according to family ties. My dad's side and my mom's side, no one takes sides, everyone is treated equally. Starting from their generation, that is, my grandparents and maternal grandparents' direct blood relatives, all are included. What I'm thinking is that people over sixty years old will receive 1,000 yuan a month, and those over eighty years old will receive 2,000 yuan a month. For newborns, the subsidy will be 2,000 yuan a month until they are three years old, and 500 yuan a month until they are eighteen years old. If they get into university, in addition to a one-time reward of 30,000 yuan, they will receive an extra 1,000 yuan a month for living expenses until they graduate from university..."

When Lin Lang shared his idea, everyone present was stunned.

Because it's completely different from what they expected.

Some of them thought that since Lin Lang was so capable, he could arrange an easy job for them, one with five social insurances and one housing fund, so they could have a pension when they got old.

Some people wanted to find a way out for their children and wanted Lin Lang to take care of their brothers and sisters.

Lin Lang's idea is indeed good, but... the actual beneficiaries are very limited.

First, the only elderly people left on both sides are Lin Lang's maternal grandparents. There are probably not many children under the age of three on both sides combined. As for children aged three to eighteen, they are mostly over fifteen years old, and there aren't many of them either.

"Langlang..." Lin Lang's uncle was about to say something.

Lin Lang immediately interrupted, saying, "Uncle, I know everyone might think it's a bit low, but this is just for now. Starting with my grandfather and maternal grandfather's direct blood relatives, the number is quite large. Everyone will gradually grow old, everyone will experience the stage of sixty years old, and also the stage of eighty years old... At that time, your grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren will all be able to enjoy these benefits. In the past two years, it might only cost around 100,000 yuan a year, but what about in ten years? Ten years later, I might have to spend 500,000 yuan or even more every year..."

Of course, I can't say whether I'll still have the money at that time. But what I can guarantee is that I will allocate at least ten million to operate this project. This ten million will be deposited in a bank under the name of a family trust and will not be used for any other purpose. If I make money later, I will continue to add funds to the family trust, with no upper limit.
