My Cousin Transferred Only Ten Dollars To Me
My cousin, John Anderson, always paid me in tens rather than in thousands.
He owned a renovation company, and my team and I always worked hard for his projects.
However, he only transferred me thirty dollars for sand and concrete that were worth three thousand dollars. Besides that, he only transferred me one thousand five hundred dollars to finance customized doors and windows worth one hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
I did not harp on that. Instead, I bore the cost in full, as he was my cousin.
That was until his wife, Rory Anderson, scolded me in front of all the workers.
“Peter’s a bloodsucker. He never informs us whenever he buys new materials. He must have scammed a lot of money from us! I saw that he got himself a new house and a new car. I bet these are all bought with money he took from us!”
John smoked next to us and sighed, “Never mind. He’s family after all.”
I was furious when I heard that. I paid more than six hundred thousand dollars’ worth of material fees for him, and he was accusing me of stealing his money?
The next client had a mansion and wanted natural marbles worth hundreds of thousands of dollars for his living room floor. John approved the request but only transferred me a thousand dollars to get it sorted out. So, I went to the brick factory located in the countryside and got a truckload of used red bricks from pigpens.
Then, I used them for the client’s flooring.
