Chapter 2 — I Prevented My Sister From Investing In Stocks But It Didn't Work

After selling all the remaining houses, the two could only keep the house they were paying for in installments as their main house. Now that apartment is no longer there - it has "transformed" into several stock codes. The second sister-in-law's face darkened after being asked:

"Oh my god, Nghien, don't mention your girl anymore... She's been taking the civil service exam for a year now, always failing the interview round. Now she only knows how to ask for money at home, and has never given any money."

My sister-in-law's daughter has been a freeloader lately and refuses to do anything, even asking for 20 million to fly abroad to see some music group's concert. If you don't give it, threaten to go on a hunger strike. The whole family has been arguing like a market for the past few months. Everyone in the family implicitly understands this. Lam Tam Nghien deliberately mentioned sister-in-law Tran Hong's daughter at this time, obviously wanting to provoke her. I sat at the corner of the table, drinking tea and peeling melon seeds, leisurely watching my sister "slap in the face" of each of the people who had spoken sarcastically to her before. On both sides of my family, there are indeed some gossipy people who like to gather and gossip behind my back. In my previous life, many times, in order to defend Tam Nghien, I argued with Ms. Tran Hong. But after dying and coming back to life once, now I just want to be a "passerby eating melon" in peace. No more sympathy, no more sympathy, no more wanting to interfere in my sister's affairs. Actually, these relatives aren't that bad by nature. When you need help, you're always ready to reach out and help a little. But now that Tam Nghien has finished cursing to her heart's content, she has offended everyone. When I encountered the real thing, I realized what it felt like to be turned away by my whole family. I was not interested in today's gathering, because I had already guessed its nature. I came here just to see how Tam Nghien "opened up" family relationships with her real strength. And the result: her ability to draw hatred is truly top of the top. The eyes of Tran Hong, his cousin and several others at this time were so angry that they were about to burn. After "dealing with" all the relatives, Tam Nghien turned to look at me.

"Sister, today I invited the whole family to a party, but you didn't say anything at all. Because I took the center stage, do you feel like you're losing interest?"

"In the past, every year at the get-together, I was the host, everyone praised me. That's right, we're sisters, but I graduated from a prestigious school, with a monthly salary of more than twenty million, and I'm unemployed, with nothing."

"But things are different now. Even if you work hard for a whole year, you probably won't be able to earn as much as me in just... two days!"

"By the way, I didn't mean to make you angry~ I was just joking! Don't have such a cold face, it looks so creepy. Because you're in such a good mood today, it's just a bit of an exaggeration~"

In the banquet hall, the smell of tea immediately spread everywhere. I put down the glass and calmly replied:

"I'm pregnant, I don't drink alcohol, and I can't get drunk. So those words just now can't be attributed to being drunk."

"That's a sincere statement. And I'm not angry, because I know you've always been jealous because I'm better than you."

Tam Nghien felt like she was being poked in a sore spot and reacted harshly:

"Huh? Are you jealous of me? What is there to make you jealous of an unmarried thirty-year-old aunt? Your life is much happier than me!"

I smiled slightly, my expression full of confidence as if he had everything in hand:

"Su Tam Nghien, to be honest, I'm very disappointed in you. Your parents are gone, and among the people sitting here, everyone has helped you more or less."

"I study and work at the same time to have money to take care of your studies. But the only things I remember are the bad things."

“Being an older sister is like being a mother, so I have the responsibility to educate you. But you are also an adult and have to take responsibility for your own life.”

"I won't touch the money you earned by selling your house to play in the stock market. But if you lose everything in the future, don't come back to me for help."

After speaking, I stood up and left the banquet table. Everyone around looked at each other and finally stood up one by one to say goodbye. Before leaving, his cousin even tried to let out a sarcastic sentence:

"Actually, we were just praising you just for fun, don't take it seriously. Nowadays, if you sell your house to play in the stock market, you're really looking for a way to die, most of them end up losing money to the point where they have no place to live."

Tam Nghien was so angry that his eyes turned red:

"Hmph! Let's all go! In the future, even if you're miserable, don't even come looking for me!

I - Su Tam Nghien - swear today that I will never help any of you again in this life!"

When she arrived home, Tam Nghien immediately blocked contact with all relatives. This story was because my sister-in-law Tran Hong called and told me about it.

“Nhat Ha, today little Tam Nghien is really miserable, no matter how poor we are, we are not to the point of throwing away our self-esteem like she is.”

But just a few seconds later, she quickly changed the topic.

“But... you're her sister, you probably know what stocks she bought, right?”

This intention of Ms. Hong is so clear that there is no need to guess. Not daring to ask Tam Nghien directly, she immediately tried to "extort" information from me. I don't beat around the bush, I answer directly:

"Sorry, I really don't know what code he bought. Besides, I advise you not to play stocks, be careful of getting stuck in losses and not being able to get out."

“The stock market is not for ordinary people. We cannot bear the risk, nor do we have the money to make mistakes.”

The sister-in-law hummed a few words and then turned off the phone. I don't know if Tam Nghien heard it or not. Recently the stock market has fluctuated greatly. Everyone whispers that the bull market is coming. Even the security guard guarding the gate of my neighborhood is considering opening a stock trading account. The aunts and uncles downstairs go to the market without talking about vegetables, they only talk about which code is increasing in price. Yesterday alone, the total trading volume on the floor reached a horrifying level: three trillion. I'm not very good at playing stocks, but in my heart I feel like something is wrong. Once everyone is rushing to make money, then... in the end, who is bearing the losses? Therefore, compared to the "bull market", I feel that the current so-called stocks are more like a giant operating table. But the small investors who rushed in because they heard rumors that it was easy to make money were "pigs waiting for meat". After Tran Hong's sister-in-law's call, her cousin and other relatives also called in turn. After only three sentences, he turned to ask about stocks. Without hesitation, I repeated exactly what I said before. If anyone can advise, it would be good, but if you stubbornly want to "play stupid", I can't I put a knife to my neck and couldn't stop it.

In the next few days, the market began to adjust slightly. I roughly calculated that Tam Nghien's stock account from 1.4 million probably only lost a few tens of thousands. The next time I saw the two of them was at the mall. I didn't see the slightest bit of confusion or worry, on the contrary, I was happily shopping. The two swiped their cards like water, buying clothes and bags without looking at the price. In less than half an hour, more than 20 million was spent. Just in time, the center is holding an event — whoever spends the most in each half hour will get to go on stage to receive gifts. Tam Nghien led her husband - Lam Kien Quoc's hand - onto the stage to receive the award, and by the way kissed in front of so many people, kissing to the point of... suffocating. People around whispered compliments:

"Oh my god, what a talented boy and beautiful girl, they fit so well together!"

Tam Nghien saw me, her eyes immediately scanned from top to bottom and said sarcastically:

"Oh my god, you're saving too much. You earn several hundred million a year, but you wear clothes that cost less than 200,000?"

“I think you should invest more in your appearance, people probably won't believe that you two are blood relatives!”

"Actually, I saw you from afar just now, walking for half an hour but only bought a cup of milk tea for 10 thousand. Really... so poor!"

The employee standing next to her also chimed in:

"Your sister is right. Women should know how to take care of themselves. You have a beautiful figure but it's a shame to wear casual clothes."

"How about you try on the outfit I pawned? I'm sure you'll look absolutely beautiful when you wear it!"

I glanced at the price list. A sweater, the material is okay — but the price is... 800 thousand. Tam Nghien covered her mouth and smiled:

"Don't tell me it's expensive, okay? I told you, I'll pay for it. Girls have to love themselves, don't be stingy!"

The staff immediately flattered:

“You are so lucky to have a sister like that!”

I don't try on clothes. Looking at my eyes as if predicting my reaction, I turned and smiled faintly at the staff:

"Not trying doesn't mean not buying. Please wrap it up for me and charge it to my sister's account."

Tam Nghien's face... fell immediately. She quickly snatched the outfit back and tried it on herself:

"Sister, I don't think this shirt suits you. It's too loose and doesn't flatter your figure at all. If I wear it, it will look better!"

The employee immediately changed direction:

"That's right, you wear it as if it were tailor-made for you!"

Finally, Tam Nghien and her husband walked back to the hotel they were renting, carrying their bags under their arms. After selling the house, they rented a luxury hotel-style apartment in the same area where I live. My room's balcony looked straight down at the hotel lobby, so every day I saw them holding hands, inseparable, like a pair of conjoined twins. It seems that the A-share market has given them infinite confidence. About 180 million in severance compensation — they spent it all in less than half a month. But they still don't worry. When all the cash is gone, there's still... stocks. And now, their investment portfolio has increased to 2 billion. Out of money? No problem. Swipe your credit card and you're done. The story of Tam Nghien and his wife "selling their stock investment house and changing their lives to wealth" has spread throughout the residential area. Even the area security guard and the guys downstairs were also affected Get involved and race to buy the same codes as them. Many times I heard Tam Nghien eloquently declare:

"Everyone should live more for themselves, stop working so hard. Just spend freely, as long as you spend less than the profit from stocks!"

“If the growth rate stays like this, I'll probably become a millionaire soon!

“You guys should never live like my sister, spending every penny with yourself every day, holding on to a pile of money that's already moldy. People make money to spend, right?

“My husband and I just got back from cosmetic surgery. One skin care injection costs 10 million, but your skin looks ten years younger, so worth the money!”

Tam Nghien and her husband - Lam Kien Quoc - completely fell into the consumer trap. And... retribution is about to knock on the door.
