"Gangzi found a client for my dad? Gangzi is also in the county?" Suddenly, Lin Yun noticed something in his mother's words, and his heart stirred. He quickly asked, his tone filled with some relief.
Gangzi's real name is Zhao Gang. He was his best friend and buddy when he was in school. They skipped classes together, got into fights together, and he often came to their house to play and eat.
Five years have passed, and it's easy for things to change. It's common for old friendships to fade or even disappear. Lin Yun, having experienced five years of life in society, knows this all too well. The fact that the other person can still find clients for his father after so long shows that they haven't forgotten this friendship.
“Gangzi is in the county. After you left, he repeated a year of high school and got into a university. But he only studied for two years before coming back. I heard something happened to him. For the past two years, he has been selling fruit at the wholesale market. Now, we don’t have many customers left. Some of the vegetables your dad brought were left by Gangzi to sell at his stall for us without asking us for a penny. Your dad used to sell vegetables in the city, and he often helped us too…” Lin’s mother said with emotion.
At their age, they've witnessed too much of the coldness and warmth of human relationships. For Lin Yun's friend to still help their family like this even after Lin Yun had been gone for several years, it's safe to say that this person is quite good. Lin Yun made the right choice in making this friend.
Unfortunately, the world is unfair. Such a good person had to repeat a year to get into university, but he only stayed for two years before coming back. Who could have imagined such a thing?
"Dad, I'm going to check on Gangzi. I'll take these vegetables to the county while I'm at it. Just tell me where to deliver them!" Lin Yun said to his father.
"Dad, I flew back, so I'm not tired at all. Besides, you know I've practiced martial arts since I was little, so I'm in great shape. I just got back, so I thought I'd go see my master!" Lin Yun said with a smile when he saw his father was about to say something.
“Alright, you should know where the wholesale market is. Gangzi is in the middle of the wholesale market, you can find him easily. You can sell a third of the vegetables there, and deliver the rest to a restaurant. Gangzi knows the place, so you can treat him to a meal while you’re at it. He’s helped our family so much lately,” Lin’s father nodded slightly and said.
“I’ll give you two thousand yuan. Take it and give it to Gangzi. He’s helped our family a lot these past two years. He’s not only helped us find customers lately, but he’s also been helping us sell vegetables at his stall. He’s been busy with all sorts of things. We can’t really not give him a penny, but he won’t take the money we offer. It’s better if you do this…” Lin’s father said, turning to go to his room to get the money.
"Dad, you don't need to go get the money, I have money," Lin Yun said quickly.
"Mom, this money is for your pocket money. Here are two cards, one for you and one for Dad. You can spend the money in them however you like." Then, Lin Yun took out fifty or sixty thousand yuan and two gold cards from several pockets and put them in his mother's hand, saying.
He had actually been keeping this money in the transaction space, where he kept a lot of cash as a reserve. At this moment, he was only taking it out with his mind, but one pocket obviously couldn't hold that much money, so he could only pretend to take it out from several pockets.
"How could you just put so much money in your pockets like that?" Lin's mother was also surprised to see Lin Yun pull out so much money from several pockets at once, and quickly scolded, "Don't you know there are many pickpockets on the street? It's the end of the year now, the most chaotic time, you child..."
"Mom, this is just a small amount of money. Your son is making a lot of money now. This is just for you and Dad to spend. There's still a lot of money in these two cards. Buy whatever you want. Don't be too frugal," Lin Yun said with a slight smile.
For him, the money in these two cards wasn't much, only ten million in each. He was afraid of scaring his parents by putting too much in, but both cards could be overdrawn by one hundred million. He believed that this amount of money would be enough for his parents to handle all kinds of things.
“Yunzi has really made something of himself. He even knows how to be filial to us. But how much money can your parents spend? As long as we have those few plots of land and as long as your parents can still move, your parents don’t need you to support them…” Hearing Lin Yun’s words, Lin’s mother couldn’t help but wipe her eyes and said.
"Even if you have money, you can't waste it. Do you know how high prices are now? All around our house, there are apartment buildings. Do you know how much it costs to build an apartment? You probably don't know, but now, in our rural area, without an apartment or even a car, it's very difficult to get a wife. In our village, many people your age already have children who can run around..." Seeing that Lin Yun was about to say something, Lin's mother scolded him.
“Your mother is right. You’re already twenty-three this year. You should be looking for a wife by now. In our rural area, if you want to find a good wife, you need to build a house, buy a decent car, and pay a hefty dowry. All of this will cost at least four or five hundred thousand yuan…” Lin’s father sighed and said.
Over the years, he has never allowed anyone to touch Lin Yun's money, which is probably because he was saving it up to help Lin Yun get married.
They are incompetent and cannot save much money for Lin Yun, so they absolutely cannot spend Lin Yun's money.
Hearing his parents' words, Lin Yun felt a deep sadness welling up inside him.
At that moment, he seemed to understand why his parents never used the money he used to send them.
He didn't earn much money before, and he only sent his parents about 200,000 yuan in total.
He originally thought that more than 200,000 yuan would be more than enough to improve the lives of his parents who lived in the countryside.
But he never expected that his parents had such a heavy burden on their hearts.
Getting him a wife will cost four or five hundred thousand...
At the same time, he was also somewhat surprised.
He was only gone for five years, how could Xianyuan County have made such a great leap forward?
Xianyuan County is just an ordinary small county town. How difficult would it be for an average rural family to earn four or five hundred thousand yuan?
Is it really that easy for rural families in Xianyuan County to make money now?
"It's all because of the competition. Building houses, buying cars, paying dowries—every family is in debt. But there's nothing we can do. That's how it is in our rural areas now. Many girls want to marry well, and it's getting harder and harder for us rural families to find wives..." Lin's father sighed slightly, seemingly noticing Lin Yun's surprise.
"Our Yunzi is really capable. The money Yunzi originally transferred was more than 200,000 yuan. Now, there is 50,000 to 60,000 yuan. There should still be some money in these two cards. We shouldn't have to worry about the money for Yunzi's wedding..." Lin's mother said with a smile.
His tone was very proud.
Around them, many people had built multi-story houses, but their family still lived in a single-story house. Seeing other families getting married and finding wives, but not a single matchmaker had come to their door, Lin's mother must have felt a sense of loss and a desire to compete.
She was always proud of her son. Although Lin Yun had never returned, he had sent them more than 200,000 yuan over the years. How many families' sons could do that?
At this moment, she felt even more proud.
Lin Yun went away for five years and brought back hundreds of thousands of dollars. How many families have sons as capable as him?
When a family gets married, the parents are always worried sick... In their family, Yunzai earned all the money they needed on his own, and he didn't even have to go into debt!
Hearing his mother's words, Lin Yun smiled bitterly.
He thought he wouldn't have to worry about the money for getting a wife, but he never expected his mother to think that way...
If his mother knew how much money he earns now, how would she react...?
However, Lin Yun didn't tell anyone about it. He decided to keep it a secret until his parents found out, and then give them a surprise!
And then there's the matter of finding a wife...
If his parents knew that he had found a girlfriend like Xia Qingqing, how happy they would be!
Well, let's not say anything yet. Let's give his parents a surprise when Xia Qingqing arrives!
