"Yes, our son has grown up; he doesn't need us to worry about him anymore!" Xu Suya sighed, feeling sowhat lost, as if there were a hollow space inside her, and her eyes started to moisten.
"Mom, no matter how much I grow up, I'll always be your and Dad's child!" Ge Dongxu seed to feel his mother's sense of loss and moved forward to gently hug her, saying.
"Yes! You know, Suya, with our son being so promising, we should be happy. Why are we feeling sentintal today? Seventeen thousand! Which kid out there is as promising as our Dongxu, as good at making money?" Ge Shengming also ca over and grasped Xu Suya's hand tightly as he spoke.
Money really is a strange thing; it can change a person's mood in an instant.
Seeing this, Xu Suya suddenly realized that their family had suddenly gained a substantial fortune of seventeen thousand, so why should she feel sentintal? If others knew, wouldn't they call her hypocritical? Others couldn't even beg for this!
Thinking this, Xu Suya imdiately wiped the corners of her eyes and started to laugh, saying, "Exactly, what am I being sentintal for! No, we must drink so wine today to celebrate. Seventeen thousand, how many years would it take you and to earn that?"
"Haha, right, right, I'll go get the snake wine that Dongxu brewed for us. We should drink a good few cups today." Ge Shengming joined in the laughter, then went to get the snake wine that Ge Dongxu had brewed for them and poured half a cup for Xu Suya and himself.
"Give so too, Dad." Ge Dongxu took a cup and smiled ingratiatingly at his old man.
Although he had often drunk alcohol when he was with his master, his parents never knew about it.
"You get out of breath as soon as you're called fat. You're only sixteen, why drink?" Xu Suya picked up a chopstick and tapped Ge Dongxu's hand while laughingly scolding him. Read exclusive adventures at empire
"Hehe, Mom, I've been training with my master since I was little; a little drink won't hurt ." Ge Dongxu said with a mischievous grin.
"Then have a little, as you know we can't treat this child as an ordinary one." Ge Shengming finally relented and poured Ge Dongxu a bit, but only one third of a cup.
"Psh, that's not even enough to wet my lips!" Ge Dongxu complained discontentedly as he saw his dad pour him just a small amount.
"Don't let a little sunshine go to your head, or do you want to confiscate your cup of wine now?" Xu Suya glared at him.
"I believe, of course I believe!" Ge Dongxu hurriedly took back his cup, not daring to complain any further.
"Haha!" Ge Shengming and Xu Suya burst into laughter upon seeing this, and Xu Suya even snorted proudly, saying, "Don't think just because you made so money, you can haggle with your mom and dad. You're still a child in this house!"
"Yes, yes!" Ge Dongxu bobbed his head like a pecking chicken.
Noting Ge Dongxu's "sincere" attitude, Xu Suya and Ge Shengming finally nodded in satisfaction.
However, once the drinking started, it could sotis be hard to control, especially when in a good mood. Eventually, as they drank, Ge Shengming ended up pouring so more for Ge Dongxu without him even asking for it.
"In ancient tis, it was said, 'The poor study, the rich train in martial arts.' Dongxu, tell your mom honestly, did you keep twenty thousand yuan for yourself because cultivation also costs money?" Halfway through the drink, Xu Suya couldn't help but ask Dongxu why he had kept twenty thousand yuan for himself.
"Mom really is a teacher — so cultured. Only you could say sothing like 'The poor study, the rich train in martial arts.' Dad definitely couldn't have said that." Seeing Xu Suya bring up the costs of cultivation, Dongxu was pleased. It was always better to clear so things up rather than keep them hidden, so he imdiately gave his mom a thumbs up and flattered her.
"You rascal! Picking on your dad for being uneducated, huh?" Ge Shengming imdiately picked up his chopsticks and knocked Dongxu on the head.
"Don't hit our son on the head. Do you want to make him as silly as you?" Xu Suya imdiately defended her son.
"You two are too much, one says I'm uneducated, and the other even calls silly!" Ge Shengming pointed at them and joked.
Dongxu made a face at his dad and then slightly straightened his expression before saying, "Yes, cultivation does cost money, but don't worry, I'll earn it myself. You just spend this money without worries, and if it's not enough, just tell ."
"So, you an to say you've earned more than just the one hundred seventy thousand?" Like parents, like child — the two of them imdiately realized their son was still hiding sothing after he spoke.
"Hehe, it's more than that! I bought so materials for cultivation and took so to..." Dongxu scratched his head and carefully replied.
"You've grown up, and your mom and I trust that you can judge and decide things on your own. You don't have to tell us everything. We're just ordinary folks; even if you told us everything, we wouldn't be able to help you, but instead, we'd be worried. I think you're hiding sothing for that reason. From now on, you can manage your own affairs. Your mom and I only have three requests: first, no matter how capable you beco, never do anything that harms others or is against morality. Second, since you are still a student, you must focus on your education and get into a prestigious university, and find a respectable job. Your grandpa was poor, and your dad had to quit school when he was young, which has always been a regret for your grandpa and . Third, if you ever face insurmountable difficulties, you must co back ho, no matter what, because your mom and I will always be with you." Ge Shengming didn't wait for Dongxu to continue speaking but raised his hand and, with a serious face, cut him off.
"Dad, I'm sorry for what I said earlier. I will work hard and get into a prestigious university," Dongxu said earnestly, his eyes moistening a bit.
"Silly boy, your dad may be uneducated, but luckily, he married an educated wife and had an educated son. Doesn't that prove your dad's capabilities?" Ge Shengming said.
"Always trying to glorify yourself. If you hadn't been so persistent back then, do you think I would have married you?" Xu Suya gave Ge Shengming a glance, but their fingers were intertwined under the table.
"Hehe, that's also a skill!" Ge Shengming boasted shalessly.
"Pssh, that's just being thick-skinned!" Xu Suya shot Ge Shengming another look and then spoke again to Dongxu, "Our family might not be wealthy, but we don't owe anyone money. Our inco is enough for our household expenses. Since your cultivation needs money, you keep that money for yourself; no need to transfer it to us."
"I have enough here. It always feels a bit better to have a bit more money in your pockets. Besides, you both should really buy so new clothes, and we should renovate the house a bit, get so new things," Dongxu said.
"Silly child, you don't need to give us so much. Since you have this intention, just transfer fifty thousand to us; too much, and your dad and I won't be able to sleep at night," Xu Suya said.
Dongxu wasn't sure if the one hundred ninety-eight pieces of jade would successfully be engraved into a Spirit Gathering Formation Talisman; if not, more money would definitely need to be spent. He also wanted to buy a house in the Jiang Family village for his future cultivation, which was another expense, so hearing his mother speak like this, he thought that fifty thousand was indeed a large sum for them and hence didn't push back anymore.
During Mao Hour and the next day, Dongxu cultivated in the mountains, the effect being several tis better than in the county town, but because he had overstrained himself the previous days, a day's cultivation in the hills was far from enough for him to fully recover.
On Sunday, after having breakfast, the family went to Xi Yuan Town, Dongxu transferred fifty thousand yuan to his parents, and then he took a car back to the county town from Xi Yuan Town.
