This is a true story in Wenzhou: a pair of young brothers, each with a mortgage of 654.38+0 million yuan, are under great pressure. Just when they couldn't stand it, their mother, who was over sixty, couldn't sit still. She stepped forward, started a business from scratch and paid her son's mortgage. In the end, she not only learned to surf the Internet through hardships, opened an online shop, but also became a star "online model", earning more than 1 10,000 yuan a month, greatly reducing the burden on her sons! What kind of "God Man" mother is this? Let's look at her struggle story!
Very dangerous!
The house of house slaves is in urgent need of inspirational examples.
Chen is 64 years old and lives in Xinhe Street, Lucheng District, Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province. 1974, she gave birth to her eldest son, Chen Kai. 198 1 year, the youngest son Chen Sheng was born again. At that time, she and her husband Chen were workshop workers in Wenzhou Calcium Carbide Chemical Plant. They work very hard and earn very little. In order to improve the conditions at home, 1992, Chen resigned and opened a cloth shop in Shanghai. At first, the business of the cloth shop was good, but all the money she earned was used for her two sons to study, and the family still lived in a 70-square-meter ancestral home.
Due to the fierce competition in Wenzhou clothing industry, Chen's cloth shop closed after six years of operation. In 200 1 year, at the age of 55, she opened a middle-aged and elderly clothing store, but the business has not been very good. In 2003, Chen Kai, the eldest son, got married. Chen felt very sorry because he could not afford to buy a wedding room for his son-Wenzhou real estate speculation is famous all over the country. In that year, the average price per square meter of urban commercial housing was close to 6,543,800 yuan. For ordinary people like Chen Jia, buying a house is unthinkable.
The following year, Yang Yang, Chen Kai's daughter, was born. Chen opened a shop with her granddaughter, hoping to save some money to help her two sons buy a house. In 2004, after graduating from Chongqing University, Bobby Chen, the youngest son, returned to Wenzhou to work in an IT company. Seeing that his mother often gets up at five o'clock in the morning to go to the clothing wholesale market to buy goods, he said with distress: "Mom, although our brothers' income is not high, there is no problem in providing for the elderly, so don't toss it!" But Chen refused anyway. It was not until 2005 that the clothing store closed down at a loss that she had to "stop".
In 2006, the eldest son Chen Kai bought a new house with a loan of 108 square meters. Chen was very happy to live in a spacious and bright house, but it didn't take long for her to find that the life pressure of the "house slave" son was too great: the total house price of that house was 1.6 million yuan, and Chen Kai borrowed 1.654.38+0 million yuan, which was paid off in 20 years, with a monthly payment of more than 6,000 yuan. The combined income of Chen Kai and his wife is only 1000 yuan, and they have to raise children and be responsible for the living expenses of five people ... Under heavy pressure, Chen Kai and his wife often quarrel. Once, Chen listened to his daughter-in-law's complaint: "I had a headache for several days, and I didn't even dare to go to the hospital." I can't live this life! " Seeing that Chen Kai didn't say anything, she muttered, "We have to pay for Gai Lou after working so hard, and we have to take care of two old people's food and drink. You can take my parents with you! "
Chen can't live any longer. "You can't burden your son!" She and her wife moved back to their ancestral home and lived with their youngest son, Chen Sheng. But even so, she still can't rest assured, because Bobby Chen hasn't bought a house yet ―― she knows that buying a house now is almost a prerequisite for marriage. In 2007, the house price continued to soar, and the house price in Wenzhou city center has reached 20,000 ~ 40,000 yuan/square meter! At this rate, Bobby Chen's salary can never afford to buy a house! As soon as Mr. and Mrs. Chen discussed it, they decided to sell their ancestral home and help their youngest son make a down payment!
From June 5438 to October 2007 10, with the support of his parents, Chen Sheng bought a house with a total price of nearly 2 million yuan 120 square meter and lived with his parents. Now, Bobby Chen has also become a house slave-he borrowed 165438+ 10,000 yuan and paid it off in 30 years, with a monthly payment of nearly 6,000 yuan and a salary of only 8,000 yuan, leaving little room, property and utilities; At this time, in addition to paying the house, Chen Kai and his wife have to pay for their daughter's kindergarten, which costs five or six thousand yuan a semester ... Chen is getting restless and running around all day, hoping to find opportunities to help her two sons do some business.
But just when she was in high spirits, fate played a big joke on her. One day in March 2008, when she went to the street to "investigate the market", she unfortunately suffered a car accident, a broken foot and a detached retina! After the operation, she lay at home for several months. Although the owner of the accident compensated the medical expenses, her son paid nearly 20,000 yuan for her care and nutrition. This is undoubtedly a heavy burden for the two sons of the house slave. One night, Chen overheard her youngest son, Chen Shengzai, calling his younger brother from the balcony, saying that he wanted to sell the house and rent a house. "The pressure on housing is too great, and I am afraid of being deducted from my salary every day-even if I only deduct a little, I can't afford the monthly payment. Now at work, everyone laughs at me for being stingy, saying that I won't buy new clothes and treat everyone to dinner for a year. I can't tell you how bitter I am! This time, my mother had an accident, and I completely figured it out. If we buy a house, we can't take any risks in life. I can't be so selfish In order to live in a good house for myself, my parents accompany me to suffer! "
Listening to his son's choking voice, Chen felt terrible. In those months, due to tight money, Chen couldn't afford to pay the property fee. Every time managers knock on the door to urge them to pay the property fee for half a year, they all hide at home and dare not make any noise ... During that time, Bobby Chen was depressed and sighed all day, saying that he would sell the house more than once. Chen is worried. At this moment, she deeply realized that if a family has no fighting spirit, there is no hope. She secretly vowed to cheer up and set an example for her two sons!
What a shock!
60-year-old mother bravely became an online shop model.
One day in July 2008, Chen wanted to go out and buy a dress. Bobby Chen said, "Let me buy one for you online!" I saw him turn on the computer and click it a few times. The next day, someone actually sent the old clothes! Chen Xi was overjoyed. "I didn't know that this online business can also be done! Son, you taught me to go to an Internet cafe, and I want to open an online shop, so I can sit at home and make money! "
Bobby Chen said shyly, "It's too difficult for an old lady to open an online shop! You know, there are 2 million stores in Taobao alone, and they are all run by young people with culture and brains. Competition is much more intense than physical stores! " But Chen didn't listen, and she had a little plan in her heart: sitting at home and opening an online shop not only saved the rent, water and electricity of the store, but also saved the suffering of the wind, the sun and the running, which was really suitable for the elderly! Even if you can't make a lot of money, it's not bad to supplement your family and help your son share it! Seeing her persistence, Bobby Chen had to promise to teach her to surf the Internet.
The first step in learning computer is to learn typing. But Chen doesn't read much, and he seldom even reads books at ordinary times. Typing is difficult to speak! Chen Sheng secretly complain, but only crustily skin of head. He asked his mother to recite the five-stroke radical list, but Chen never recited it. Helpless, Bobby Chen had to let her learn pinyin typing. He also wrote the pinyin of common words on a small piece of paper, which was pasted all over the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen for his mother to remember.
Chen Yi pays special attention to computers when he has time. Because of her age, she often gets dizzy looking at the computer. One day, she fainted in front of the computer. Fortunately, her family sent her to the hospital in time ... Afterwards, her wife scolded her with distress and said, "Are you possessed?" Learning computer at this age is a ghost! "The two sons also advised her to give up, but she wouldn't listen. It is this extraordinary determination and perseverance that enabled her to overcome all kinds of difficulties. From June 5438 to February 2008, after half a year's hard work and practice, she was able to type 30 words per minute, and learned to chat on QQ, browse the web and use search engines.
After making all the preparations, Chen plans to open an online shop. But the family still disagreed. Bobby Chen advised her: "Mom, opening an online shop is much more difficult than typing. Just watch movies, listen to music and chat online! " However, Chen didn't learn to surf the Internet against time for fun. She has never forgotten the original intention of opening an online shop to make money, but something happened in June 5438 +2009 10 strengthened her determination-that time, Chen Sheng accidentally sprained her ankle while playing badminton, and the whole ankle was swollen and sweaty, but she refused to go to the hospital. Chen was very distressed and advised him to go to the hospital to make a film, but he said, "It costs hundreds of dollars to make a film. Why spend that money? " He bought some plasters and put them at home. Moreover, he was afraid that the company would deduct the attendance award and insisted on going to work. Looking at his limping back, Chen thought sadly: My son is so hard, I must help him!
Since then, Chen has devoted himself to learning Taobao, wearing reading glasses every day, and carefully studying the rules of various stores and Taobao. Her persistence finally touched his wife Chen. On the eve of the Spring Festival in 2009, he borrowed 20,000 yuan from his relatives and gave it to an online shop in Chen Kai. However, regarding the positioning of online stores, family members have different opinions: Chen wants to open a middle-aged and elderly women's clothing store, but his son and daughter-in-law all think that online shopping is mostly for young people, and middle-aged and elderly clothes are definitely not easy to sell. After several discussions, Chen finally decided to try to open a fashionable women's clothing store first. At the beginning of April, 2009, she registered an online shop named "Happy Fashion Women's Wear" on Taobao, which was full of fashionable women's wear found by her daughter-in-law. She waited for business in front of the computer every day.
