"Mom, are you unreasonable? How can you use our money to lose? And deceive your grandson. He's so small, how can you bear it?"
On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, my daughter-in-law Liu Na quarreled with me and said that I was unreasonable. I really have a hard time arguing, who is unreasonable? The money is mine, am I still giving it wrong? What can I do if I don't give it?
My name is Wu Xiumin, I am 60 years old this year, I am a retired teacher, and my wife Zhao Anguo will retire next year.
Our son Zhao Hua is 35 years old and has been married for 8 years, and his daughter-in-law Liu Na is the same age as him, and they have opened their own clothing store. My little grandson is in the first grade, and he is very good at learning and is very likeable.
After I retired, I met the capable Lao Qin in everyone's eyes through my neighbors.
Lao Qin is a senior stockholder, he earned more than 600,000 yuan in the stock market in 07, the key is that people can still get out of the bag, and finally settle down, which is really envied by many people.
After listening to his legend and seeing that everyone was learning to trade stocks from him, I also joined in.
It was all tentative at first, and I only invested 10,000. Like everyone, he is very obedient, Lao Qin will buy whatever he wants, and he will sell it whenever he wants.
After two months, I earned more than 3,000 yuan, which is not a lot, but I am very content.
Originally, I had a small principal, so my profit was naturally not so much, and the second was that I didn't pay a little labor, and I just used money to make money.
Later, I became obsessed with stock speculation, and I made a little money with Lao Qin. As time went by, I became more and more bold, and I invested more and more principal.
Once, I actually earned 10,000 yuan in a month and a half, which was more than my salary for two months.
I was so happy that my heart was very beautiful, so I gave my son and daughter-in-law a red envelope of 1,000 yuan and a little grandson of 2,000 yuan.
Stock trading has become my main business. I don't have anything else to do anyway, and unlike I used to go to work, I don't like Saturdays and Sundays now because they don't open.
Every time I earn a little money, I give my family a better life, but I never tell them where the money comes from, I just say that it is spent on my own salary.
My son's family of three usually comes to the house for a meal on Sunday or holidays, which is the day when the market is closed. So, they didn't know that I was trading stocks.
It's exciting to make money in the stock market, but it's also exciting to lose money. Seeing the assets shrinking day by day, my heart is scratching my heart, blood is gushing up, looking at the green in front of the computer, I really have a dead heart.
I slowly saw the cruelty of the stock market and became cautious, and my wife often reminded me that the stock market is risky, just do it and don't invest too much.
Especially in the past two or three years, the Shanghai Composite Index has fluctuated around 3,000 points, making people see no hope.
Later, I felt that I had been doing stocks for a few years, and it seemed that I had some experience, so I often didn't listen to Lao Qin, but operated it myself.
As a result, the more I lose, the bigger the loss, I am a long thinking, I always feel that the stock will rise back soon, so I make up for the position indiscriminately, and the more it falls, the more it falls, until there is no money to make up for it, as a result, the stock does not rise, and my mentality is getting worse and worse.
I fantasize about the stock rising every day, especially in the previous year, and my heart is full of hope, because I still have to give money to my children.
From the moment my son got married, my wife and I would give my daughter-in-law 1,000 yuan in Chinese New Year's Eve, and later, when I had a little grandson, we would give him another 2,000 yuan. For 8 years, every year.
This year's stock market is not competitive, falling straight up day by day, I can see it, even if it can rise back a year ago, it will not be able to return to the capital, let alone make a profit. And my salary has also been replenished, and there is no money in my bank card.
I used to make a lot of delicious food, such as braised beef, braised pig's trotters, steamed steamed buns, jujube cakes, stewed chicken and fish...... But this year, I don't want to do anything, and I can't keep up my spirits at all.
I was very depressed, the whole person was listless, and my wife thought I was not feeling well, so he prepared the New Year's goods and didn't let me do it.
On the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the children came home for dinner, and the wife and son were busy in the kitchen. Liu Na gave her grandson a look, and I pretended not to see it.
During the meal, the little grandson spoke: "Grandma, where is my New Year's money?"
When he asked, everyone was stunned. I can't blame the child, I have always been in charge of giving New Year's money, and as soon as the child enters the door, I happily hand him the red envelope.
But this year, he has been here for a long time, and I don't mean to give money at all, my wife and son don't care, only my daughter-in-law is a little anxious.
I gritted my teeth and decided to tell my grandson the truth: "Zhenzhen, you can't do without the New Year's money, can grandma give it to you later?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and I had to tell the truth: "It's not that I don't give it, it's just that the stocks are all trapped, and there is no flexible money at all." “
As soon as Liu Na heard that I had been caught up in the stock speculation quilt, she immediately became unhappy, and she complained bitterly, saying: "Mom, what do you think, you are all 60 years old to go to stock trading? Don't you know how difficult it is for your son Zhao Hua? In the past two years, business has not been good, and we have basically not made any money.
Originally, I thought that in the Chinese New Year's Eve, you and my father could raise some money for me and my children, which is good, you simply don't have a penny. You're taking up all of our money. Forget about your own losses, don't lose me and my children, you are so unreasonable. ”
When I heard this, I got angry: "I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you, but it was just a few days late, did I give it to you less before?"
I originally thought that I would not mention the money in Chinese New Year's Eve, and when the stock will return to the capital after the New Year, or I will pay my salary, I will make up for his wife. I just don't want my family to know that I lost so badly, and I also want to save face.
Who knew that Liu Na hadn't forgotten this stubble, and when she saw that she didn't give it to her, she encouraged the child to open her mouth to ask for it.
As soon as my wife and son saw that we were arguing, they began to persuade them, and my wife would calm things down, saying, "Hey, it's okay, there is New Year's money every year, and this year is no exception."
Let's eat first, and when we're done, I'll go to the bank to get it, and you're absolutely indispensable. The New Year's Day is all happy. ”
Later, my wife went to the bank to withdraw money, and considering her son's difficulties, she gave them 5,000 yuan.
Because of money, I was very unhappy this year, and it was the first time I quarreled with Liu Na. I didn't expect that she usually called her mother very sweet, but as soon as she touched her interests, she immediately turned her face.
In fact, this is a trivial matter, what really caused me to think deeply and be vigilant is the matter of stock speculation, the stock market is risky Everyone knows, but it usually does not attract attention, only real money is set in, only know how powerful it is.
When the stock returns to its principal, I will withdraw the principal one after another. In the past few years, I have been worried about stock speculation, and sometimes it is like a roller coaster, and my heart really can't stand it.
I still hope that my future life will be peaceful and stable, and then the family will be happy and happy.
