In the middle of the night.
Gao Changhai and Zhao Qin lay in bed chatting.
"Old Gao, do you know why I don't want to live in the city?" Zhao Qin asked softly.
"Why?"
"Because I don't want to beco a burden to our son."
"You and I think alike," Gao Changhai nodded. "We have low education and no real skills. Living in the city would only embarrass our son, and might even cause him trouble. So, for our son to be able to strive with all his might, we must stay in the countryside and not hold him back."
"Mm, as long as our son is doing well, I'll be happy," Zhao Qin said with a smile.
...
Lying in another room, Gao Fei heard his parents' conversation loud and clear. Ever since he received the Demon God Heritage, his hearing had greatly improved, allowing him to hear everything within a hundred ters.
After all that, his parents' reluctance to live in the city was to avoid being a burden to him.
Dad, Mom, thank you for your loving care... Gao Fei's eyes began to redden. His parents' love for him was selfless and noble, asking for nothing in return. When Gao Fei was very young and their ho was extrely poor—a bare walls description wouldn't have been an exaggeration—his parents scrimped and saved to provide for his education.
They gave Gao Fei the best food, the best clothes, the best bed, and the best blankets…
Although life was tough back then, Gao Fei felt a lot of warmth in his heart.
"Dad, Mom, I will definitely take good care of you and let you live a carefree life," Gao Fei secretly vowed in his heart.
...
The night passed without words.
...
Outside the gate.
A group of people gathered to discuss.
"Dammit, this is infuriating!" Gao Changhai cursed when he got anxious, "After all this ti, it turns out the compensation amount was decided by the county mayor himself! No wonder the people below are so adamant."
"What do we do next?" a villager asked.
"We'll petition in the city," a sharp light flashed in Gao Fei's eyes. "If the city doesn't work, we'll go to the province. Sooner or later, we'll find a place that will listen to us."
