Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"That, Mom, actually I'm no longer working a summer job in Dongguan..."

Wang Erhai, facing the script on the paper, reluctantly lied to his own mother.

"You're not working a summer job in Dongguan anymore? Then what did you go do?"

Li Xiulan couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly asked.

"Mom, I went to start a business with friends, this entrepreneurship project makes a lot of money!"

Wang Erhai's voice couldn't help but tremble as he spoke; although he was mischievous, although his grades were poor, he had never really lied to his parents from childhood to adulthood, not even the spare change placed in the drawer at home had he ever stolen!

And now, he actually had to go deceive his parents out of ten thousand yuan!

For his conscience, this was nothing short of a torture akin to death by a thousand cuts.

"Start a business? Start what business? Can it really make money?"

Li Xiulan detected that Wang Erhai's voice was a bit off, but she didn't think too much about it.

"It's doing the internet, the internet makes a lot of money now, but it needs startup capital!"

"Oh, the internet ah, Mom doesn't understand this, Mom is just a rural person, can't even use a mobile phone properly, you handle it yourself, you want to start a business, Mom supports you, but don't be too ambitious, don't take too big a step, we don't crave getting rich quick, as long as we can earn a bit of small money and live peacefully, that's fine."

Li Xiulan nagged earnestly and tirelessly.

She, who had lived a lifetime of bitter days, had already branded a "stability above all" steel stamp in her brain.

"Mom, I need startup capital, you see... can you give me ten thousand yuan?"

Wang Erhai was unwilling in his heart, but ultimately still opened his mouth.

"Need ten thousand yuan, that much ah..."

Li Xiulan was somewhat surprised, it wasn't that she was unwilling to help her Second Brother, but ten thousand yuan to her was no small sum.

Wang Erhai's heart was being twisted like by a knife; there was a moment he truly wanted to shout out the truth, to tell his mother not to give the money, only unfortunately the fear inside his heart dominated him again, making him choose cowardice.

He hated himself for lacking the courage to cut off a finger, hated himself for helping those pyramid scheme scoundrels deceive his own mother.

But in the end he still had to speak according to those people's demands:

"Mom, ten thousand isn't much, now most people in the city working two months can earn ten thousand, Mom, this is a chance for me, you rest assured, once I earn money I'll definitely pay you back..."

Li Xiulan couldn't help but soften:

"Alright alright, although I don't understand the internet, you have the heart to do something big, then I'll still support you, how to give this ten thousand yuan to you ah? Mail it over?"

Li Xiulan actually doesn't even know how to operate a bank transfer very well, that's why she would ask this one sentence.

"I have a bank card, I'll send you the card number, you just transfer the money to that bank card."

Wang Erhai, referencing the script on the paper, spoke this one sentence.

At that moment his heart shattered.

Because he knew, his mother had already been taken in.

That ten thousand yuan, estimated being swindled away was already a nailed-down fact.

"Okay okay, then you send the bank card number to your dad's mobile phone."

The call ended, Wang Erhai cried, wailed loudly, cried heart-rendingly.

Yesterday he was beaten and kicked by Yang Xiaoxiong, he didn't feel it was this painful.

Yesterday's pain when being beaten, hurt in the skin and flesh, while today this pain, hurts deep inside the heart.

And several pyramid scheme personnel nearby, however, didn't care about Wang Erhai's wailing at all; they all wore delighted expressions, celebrating this success.

They closed another deal, one step closer to earning enough 10.4 million yuan.

For money, they've already discarded even their conscience.

Perhaps from the start, there was no conscience in their hearts, just no opportunity before to release the beast inside, and now under the guise of pyramid schemes, they begin to shed their disguise, revealing their original faces.

Actually inside pyramid scheme organizations, those willing to become accomplices, they fundamentally aren't brainwashed, they know clearer than anyone that pyramid schemes are fraud, they're just willing to step into this pit for money!

Those caught who falsely claim they were tricked into doing this, claiming they're innocent, those are the most hateful, most hypocritical, most vomit-inducing bastards, each and every one should be dragged off and shot!

Anyone who's been harmed by pyramid schemes would definitely raise both hands in agreement with this sentence.

Finally, Yang Xiaoxiong took Wang Erhai's mobile phone and sent a message to Wang Zhanggen.

"Mom, transfer ten thousand yuan into this bank card, card number is: XXXXX."

Wang Zhanggen, learning Wang Erhai needed ten thousand yuan to start a business, was actually unwilling in his heart.

"Start what business, actually needs this much money right at the start!"

Wang Zhanggen was originally quite stingy with spending money, and he had previously gone to the city to work, started businesses before, knew the risks inside.

However Li Xiulan said:

"Erhai finally has some fighting motivation, you mustn't pour cold water on him, no matter what we must support him! In a bit we'll go to Town to transfer money to Erhai!"

Wang Zhanggen's brows furrowed slightly:

"I'm not not supporting him, I'm just afraid he'll be swindled!"

Li Xiulan said:

"Our Erhai has grown up, and he's very sharp, shouldn't be to the point of being swindled right!"

Wang Zhanggen said:

"You don't understand, there are many swindlers in the city!"

But in the end he still decided to transfer this sum of money to Wang Erhai.

Not for any other reason, only because he also wanted his own son to be promising.

Back then when he started a business in the city, he lost everything; he wanted his son to carve out a world of his own, to bring honor to his face.

So that very noon, after the couple finished lunch, they rode a motorcycle to the town's Rural Credit Cooperative to transfer money to Wang Erhai.

They didn't know how to use the ATM deposit-withdrawal machine; what they used was still a paper passbook.

Inside the Rural Credit Cooperative they queued for nearly an hour, and finally it was their turn.

They walked up to the counter and told the waitress in front of the counter they wanted to make a transfer.

"To this account number, transfer ten thousand yuan."

The little waitress at the counter was still comparatively responsible.

When she entered the transfer account number, she discovered the account holder's name on the transfer account was not the same surname as Wang Zhanggen, so she gossiped and asked a sentence:

"You two elders, who is this transfer for?"

Li Xiulan hurriedly said:

"I'm transferring to my son, he needs money for his entrepreneurship!"

The little waitress at the counter was stunned for a moment, then said:

"Auntie, this bank receiving account's name is not the same surname as your husband, are you sure this bank account number is your son's?"

With the counter little waitress saying this, Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan both couldn't help but be stunned.

The puzzlement in their hearts only then suddenly rose up.

"My son is called Wang Erhai, this account was given to me by him, surely it's his? Or did you enter it wrong?"

Wang Zhanggen hurriedly asked.

The counter little waitress carefully double-checked several times, discovered she hadn't entered it wrong, and replied:

"No mistake entered, it's exactly this account number."

Li Xiulan then hurriedly said:

"Then it's possible we gave the wrong number," then she hurriedly urged Wang Zhanggen, "Take out the message our son sent and show it to the little girl, let her check against the account number on the message again!"

Wang Zhanggen hurriedly nodded, took out his mobile phone, found that text message and showed it to the counter little waitress.

The counter little waitress carefully compared once more, discovered the bank account number had no mistake, it was exactly this one, couldn't help but frown, and kindly reminded them:

"Uncle, Auntie, why don't you call your son to confirm once more? These days there are many swindlers, I'm just afraid you two were cheated by a swindler; ten thousand yuan is no small amount for you two."

This counter little waitress, not only was she beautiful, her heart was also kind; her kind-hearted reminder like this can sometimes save a family.

Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan hurriedly nodded:

"Good good, we'll call right now to confirm."

They already had a rather bad premonition.

Their own son had a bank card; right after the college entrance exam ended, before going to work a summer job, Wang Erhai had gone by himself to open a bank card, so why now would he need to use someone else's bank card to receive this ten thousand yuan?

This matter is too suspicious, they must ask clearly!
