"Your bank card is transferred to 15.3 million yuan! ”
One day in December 2015, Lu Tianmei, a middle-aged woman living in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, was attending her daughter's wedding when she suddenly received a text message from the bank.
Lu Tianmei was shocked on the spot, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time. She is just an ordinary person, she doesn't have any rich relatives, how could someone transfer more than 10 million yuan to her, and pick her daughter to get married. However, the bank text message will not be faked, could it be that someone mistakenly entered her bank card?
Just when Lu Tianmei was hesitating to call the bank for verification, her ** bell rang. As soon as I picked it up, a familiar man's voice came: ".Mom, thank you for your 15 years of dedication, I earned money, and I transferred 15.3 million to you. You pay off the debt with this money, and leave the rest of the money for your sister to buy a wedding house.
After hanging up the **, Lu Tianmei's hanging heart finally relaxed, and a relieved smile appeared on her face. Soon, she shared the news with her daughter, who was about to get married. When her daughter Zhou Jing learned about it, she shed two lines of tears on the spot: ".Mom, this brother you adopted has really grown up.
So, who is this man who calls Lu Tianmei "Mom"? What kind of past do the two have?
Lu Tianmei still remembers that the first time she met her "son" Liu Yuanyi was one day in October 2000.
At that time, Lu Tianmei worked as a worker in a garment factory in her hometown of Yangzhou, stepping on a sewing machine for more than ten hours a day to support herself and her daughter Zhou Jing. That day caught up with the weekend, Lu Tianmei rarely had a break and went out to buy vegetables to improve her daughter's food.
But the sky is not beautiful, Lu Tianmei did not leave the community, and caught up with a heavy rainstorm. Without an umbrella, she took refuge in a nearby garage with an open door.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Lu Tianmei stood still, there was a loud noise in the dark garage, which startled her. She didn't expect someone in the garage, so she quickly said "sorry" and turned around to leave.
At this time, an immature male voice sounded in the corner: ".Auntie, it's raining heavily outside, wait for the rain to stop before you leave。With that, a boy came out of the shadows, holding a small bench in his hand, and motioned for Lu Tianmei to sit down.
Through the faint light, Lu Tianmei looked the boy up and down, and found that he was plainly dressed, his face was thin, and he was not a few years older than her daughter. The rain kept pouring down, and Lu Tianmei was a little embarrassed to sit in the garage, so she chatted with the boy without a ride.
How old are you this year? ”
16 years old. "Is this garage your home? ”
No, I rented it. ”
Do you live here? What about your parents? ”
As soon as she asked this sentence, Lu Tianmei regretted it a little, she clearly saw a trace of sadness and a trace of loneliness from the boy's face.
Sure enough, the boy took a deep breath and replied, ".When my parents died, I was left alone.
Under the boy's narration, Lu Tianmei finally understood his experience, and in her own words: "We are sympathetic. ”
The boy told Lu Tianmei that his name was Liu Yuanyi, that his hometown was in a rural village in Baoying County, Yangzhou, and that he was currently in his first year of high school at Yangzhou No. 1 Middle School.
A few years ago, he came to Yangzhou with his parents, who ran a small business for him to study, and although the family's life was ordinary, they were also happy.
However, when Liu Yuanyi was 14 years old, his parents were in a serious car accident on the way while delivering goods on a tricycle, and both died. was originally a happy family of three, leaving him as an orphan.
Liu Yuanyi's grandparents have long since passed away, and the only thing he can rely on is his uncle who settled in Yangzhou. The uncle also took pity on this child, whose parents died, took him home, and provided him with Yangzhou No. 1 Middle School.
However, in 2000, Liu Yuanyi's uncle failed in business, and life became difficult. Since then, my aunt has looked at Liu Yuanyi horizontally and vertically, thinking that his tuition fees are high, and it costs money for food and clothing.
Seeing that the family was about to break up, Liu Yuanyi offered to move to the school. The uncle was also very helpless, and before leaving, he gave him tuition fees and a few hundred yuan of accommodation and living expenses, so that he could find his own way.
Unfortunately, Liu Yuanyi was unable to apply for a place on campus. In desperation, he had no choice but to rent a private garage for 30 yuan per month as his residence.
Seeing the cramped wooden bed and broken table in the garage, Lu Tianmei's mood couldn't calm down for a long time. She felt sorry for the child in front of her, and she couldn't help but think of what happened to her.
More than 20 years ago, Lu Tianmei was not engaged in the work of female workers, but the "proud daughter of heaven". After graduating from Tianjin Business School, she returned to her hometown of Yangzhou to work as an accountant in a factory. In 1988, she married her colleague Zhou Bo and gave birth to her daughter Zhou Jing.
In 1991, taking advantage of the spring breeze of reform and opening up, Lu Tianmei and his wife both quit their jobs, went to the sea to do business, and started a jade business. Lu Tianmei is proficient in English, Zhou Bo can speak well, the husband and wife are perfectly matched, the business is booming, and they have saved tens of millions of assets in just a few years.
However, in 1999, her husband Zhou Bo suddenly disappeared mysteriously. He only left a note for Lu Tianmei, which read; I'm in love with Cao Dingli, we're going to go abroad to do business together, I'm sorry!
Ms. Lu Tianmei was impressed by the woman Cao Dingli, who was a client of the company and often came to buy jade, and is said to have three houses in Shanghai.
After visiting the note left by her husband, Lu Tianmei felt that the situation was not good, and hurriedly went to the company to check the accounts. It doesn't matter if you check this time, Cao Dingli actually took tens of millions of jade from the company on credit! And on the company's accounts, it actually lost 2 million, and even the wages of employees could not be paid.
Before Lu Tianmei had time to be sad, she received even greater bad news. In May 2000, Wuxi ** called her ** and said: ".Your husband Zhou Bo committed suicide by jumping into the river across the Tangqiao River in Wuxi, and came to claim his body
Lu Tianmei hurried to Wuxi and claimed her husband's body. According to **, Zhou Bo should have suffered a business failure, was emotionally frustrated, and chose to commit suicide. As for the woman named Cao Dingli, she had already fled and gone abroad.
The death of her husband left Lu Tianmei with an untidy mess. In order to repay her debts, she sold her company, real estate, and car, and she will make up 1.8 million. For the remaining 200,000 arrears, she can only pay it back slowly with an IOU.
Lu Tianmei, who suffered blows one after another, did not collapse, she started from scratch and found a job as a sewing machine worker in the factory. In order to let her daughter study with peace of mind, she rented a house of more than 60 square meters near her daughter's school.
Perhaps it was the providence of the underworld, Lu Tianmei's mother and daughter and 16-year-old orphan Liu Yuanyi lived in the same community and met on a rainy afternoon.
When she learned that Liu Yuanyi couldn't eat food every day, only eating white rice and noodles to satisfy her hunger, Lu Tianmei's tears fell. Seeing that the rain was getting lighter, she took Liu Yuanyi's hand and said, ".Let's go, my aunt is preparing to go grocery shopping, and I'm going to eat at my aunt's house for dinner today
But Liu Yuanyi didn't want to cause trouble to Lu Tianmei, so he politely declined her invitation. Lu Tianmei knows that although this child is having a hard time, he has a sensitive heart. She stopped insisting and left the garage.
After returning home, Lu Tianmei told her daughter Zhou Jing all this, and proposed to her daughter Zhou Jing the idea of adopting Liu Yuanyi. To her surprise, Zhou Jing immediately nodded in agreement, and said happily: "I have a brother!" ”
However, in order to protect Liu Yuanyi's self-esteem, Lu Tianmei did not immediately propose to adopt. Every time it was time to eat, she would go to deliver food to Liu Yuanyi, and sometimes, she would invite the boy to her home as a guest. Gradually, Liu Yuanyi also let go of his worries and got along very happily with Lu Tianmei's mother and daughter.
On Chinese New Year's Eve in 2000, Lu Tianmei went to the garage to invite Liu Yuanyi to come to his house for the New Year, but found that the garage door was locked, and Liu Yuanyi did not know where to go. At about 10 o'clock in the evening, she was really not at ease, so she went again and found that the lights were on in the garage, and Liu Yuanyi was sitting on the bed crying.
It turned out that Liu Yuanyi wanted to go to his uncle's house for the New Year, but was kicked out by his aunt. After learning the reason for the incident, Lu Tianmei burst into tears on the spot, patted Liu Yuanyi's back and said, ".From today onwards, you are my child, let's go home for the New Year!
Late that night, Liu Yuanyi ate the dumplings wrapped by Lu Tianmei, fell in love deeply, and shouted softly: "Mom." ”
The Spring Festival bell rang in 2001, and Lu Tianmei and a pair of children also ushered in a new beginning.
With the support of Lu Tianmei, Liu Yuanyi took the college entrance examination in 2003 and was admitted to Zhejiang University with high scores, choosing to major in finance.
The reason why Liu Yuanyi made this decision was to earn money as soon as possible and repay his adoptive mother's efforts over the years. However, when he received the admission letter, he was worried about the high tuition fees and didn't want to go for a while.
Lu Tianmei lost her temper with her son for the first time: ".Since you treat me as a mother, I won't ignore you, and I will find a way to deal with the tuition fee
In order to make up for this tuition, Lu Tianmei took out all the money she had in her family, and borrowed a lot of money from her friends, all of which went into Liu Yuanyi's card.
And Liu Yuanyi did not live up to his adoptive mother's expectations, in the first year of college, he got a scholarship of 2,000 yuan, and sent it all home. He called Lu Tianmei and said, "Mom, you have paid too much for this family, buy a massager for you to condition your body." ”
Four years later, Liu Yuanyi graduated from Zhejiang University and went to Cambridge University in the United Kingdom to pursue postgraduate studies free of charge. However, the cost of living in the UK was so huge that he could not afford it.
This time, it was Lu Tianmei who gave him great support. Lu Tianmei sold the dowry that she had treasured for 30 years and exchanged it for 550,000 yuan, all given to the adopted son. When they were separated, she didn't forget to tell Liu Yuanyi: "Study hard, for your own sake, my mother doesn't want you to repay me!" ”
On the plane to London, Liu Yuanyi was full of emotion and vowed to be a good person and repay his mother who had raised him for many years.
In 2011, Liu Yuanyi successfully obtained a master's degree from Cambridge University, and after graduation, he used technology to become a shareholder and founded an investment company with a British. In just two years, the company's wealth has increased by 76%, Liu Yuanyi took a lot of dividends, and entered the environmental protection paint industry, the business is booming, and he has a net worth of tens of millions.
Because he was busy with work, Liu Yuanyi didn't go home to hit ** much, and every time he talked about "return", he was also rejected by Lu Tianmei.
Until December 2015, just in time for his sister Zhou Jing to get married, Liu Yuanyi exchanged pounds for ** RMB and sent 15.3 million to his adoptive mother. He thought that the money would be used as his sister's dowry, and his mother should not refuse.
Lu Tianmei was very pleased with the return of her adopted son, she also obeyed her son, paid off the debt of 200,000 yuan, and bought a house for her daughter. However, she did not deliberately improve her life, but just changed to a larger rental house. The remaining more than 10 million yuan was put in a ** investment account, which she used for charity in the future to help those homeless children like Liu Yuanyi back then.
Liu Yuanyi also expressed his support for his adoptive mother, he told his mother: "Mom, when I return to China in the future, I will also do charity with you!" ”
