To promote our product, we uploaded videos to a short video platform and enlisted the help of popular students from local schools for promotion. Our efforts paid off. Several videos quickly went viral, and our product sales soared, reaching thousands of orders in less than a week. Each day, we shipped no fewer than six hundred orders.
However, the surge in sales also sparked jealousy among our competitors. They reported us, leading to the freezing of our store funds. With slow payments from the factory, we found ourselves short on cash for operations. Ning Ning went home to ask her parents for help and managed to secure thirty thousand yuan, along with five thousand in credit card limits. Yet, we still needed another fifty thousand.
I maxed out my credit card and borrowed money from friends but was still short by thirty thousand. Reluctantly, I approached Aunt Chen Qian for a loan. She responded quickly, reassuring me that she would transfer the money within two days. Sure enough, two days later, I received thirty thousand yuan, alleviating my immediate crisis.
As summer came to an end, fan sales began to decline, but our frozen funds were released. After calculating our profits, we discovered that we had made four hundred thousand yuan over the summer, excluding the principal amount. Ning Ning and I celebrated with beers in our dormitory, feeling like we had finally made it through tough times.
After repaying my credit card and settling debts with others, I bought gifts to visit Aunt Chen Qian. When it came time to repay her, I intentionally brought an extra twenty thousand yuan. However, Aunt Chen Qian refused to accept anything beyond the thirty thousand she had lent me.
I pushed the money over to her.
"Aunt, please take this."
"This is my way of showing gratitude. Without you, I would have starved long ago. So you are my family, you know?"
"If it weren't for your help during my freshman year, I don't know how I would have survived."
Aunt Chen Qian still refused to accept it.
I pretended to be angry, "If you don't take it, then you don't see me as family."
"No, it's just that I feel I've already helped you a lot. I can't take your money anymore."
Aunt Chen Qian looked a bit troubled.
I insisted that she take the money.
"Xiao Chang, I know you're a good kid, but I really can't accept this money!"
"Aunt, right now, you're the only one who sees me as family, so please don't be polite."
Finally, Aunt Chen Qian relented. "Alright then, I'll keep the money for now. You can use it whenever you need."
"Aunt, I'm a bit curious. Where did you get so much money from back then?"
I asked with curiosity.
"Where else could it come from? It came from my ex-husband," she said nonchalantly.
It turned out that Chen Qian's ex-husband had always made excuses to avoid paying child support for her and their child.
At first, it was three thousand; then it dropped to two thousand, month by month getting less and less.
In the end, he didn't give her a single cent.
Chen Qian sat directly at the entrance of her ex-husband's workplace and had his colleagues relay the message that if he didn't pay up, she would die right there at his doorstep.
Sure enough, that tactic worked.
Her ex-husband obediently handed over the money.
After several months of owing her, it totaled up to one hundred thousand.
Hearing this, my gratitude towards Aunt Chen Qian deepened. "Thank you, Auntie."
"What are you talking about, child? Am I not your family?"
"Come on, let's eat."
After paying off my credit card and borrowing some money from others, I bought a gift to visit Aunt Chen Qian. When I repaid the loan, I intentionally took out an extra twenty thousand.
But Aunt Chen Qian refused to accept it, insisting on only taking back the thirty thousand she had lent me. I pushed the money towards her.
"Auntie, please take it."
"This is my way of showing respect to you. Without you, I would have starved long ago. So you are my family, you know?"
"If it weren't for your help during my freshman year, I wouldn't know how I would have survived."
