Seeing that his mother was choked by his words and couldn't say anything, Zhou Yu stood up with a smile and came to Wang Yufang who was stunned on the spot. While massaging Wang Yufang's shoulders, he persuaded her,

"Since the school and the parents trust me and have handed their children over to me, I must be responsible to the school, the parents, and the children! Mom, don't you think this is the truth?"

"How they do things is their business. I can't stop doing it just because they don't want to. Don't you agree? Besides, even if I have a holiday, I still have work to do, but my work is not much. It's just a few phone calls!"

"Moreover, if my phone calls can help parents realize that the school has been taking their children's studies seriously and responsibly, and that their children's grades have been rising and improving, then parents will be more cooperative with us, and our school will be able to do its job better!"

"Besides, the salary paid by the school is not small. No matter what, I have to be worthy of the salary I get, right? Other teachers don't get such high bonuses as mine!"

"Okay, okay, you have a point! Speak less, you think I haven't said enough?!" Wang Yufang rolled her eyes at her son, "Listen to your voice. If I don't protect it well, I'm afraid you'll become mute! Come eat quickly. After dinner, I'll ask your dad to buy you a box of Sterculia lychnophora!"

Zhou Yu laughed dumbly, "It's not that serious, mom, I'm actually fine..."

"Listen to me!" Wang Yufang glared at Zhou Yu, then she looked around like a thief, as if she was afraid that outsiders would hear what she was going to say next.

Seeing that there was no one else outside the room, Wang Yufang lowered her voice, looked at her son and asked, "Did you really get paid that much? More than 20,000?! Oh my god, your dad and I would have to work for several months to earn that much!"

After saying that, Wang Yufang couldn't help but sigh, "Originally, your father and I had no objection to you becoming a teacher. We even supported you. But the reason for our support was that being a teacher meant having a stable job, and it was easy and respectable!"

"As for the salary, your father and I never had any expectations! We thought that even if the salary was a little low, you could make it back by earning some extra money later! But now... you are making more than 20,000 yuan a month, isn't that too outrageous?!"

"It's not the salary, it's the salary and various bonuses added together!" Zhou Yu explained.

After saying this, Zhou Yu took out his cell phone, opened the text message page, and handed the phone to Wang Yufang, "Mom, look. This is the text message that the bank sent yesterday, notifying me that my salary has arrived."

Wang Yufang didn't take the phone Zhou Yu handed over. She just leaned forward and took a closer look at the content on Zhou Yu's phone screen. "Oh my goodness!"

Wang Yufang smacked her lips. The screen displayed a message from Huishang Bank: Your card with the last digit 8623 received .53 yuan (paid wages) from Huishang Bank at 15:23 on the 22nd. The balance is 387,654.82 yuan (Huishang Bank).

"When did you save so much money?" After Wang Yufang saw the balance clearly, she withdrew her gaze and asked Zhou Yu in a low voice.

Zhou Dahai and Wang Yufang, an elderly couple, never ask about their son's income or savings.

In their opinion, how much you earn is your business and we as your parents will not ask. No matter how much you earn, we don’t want a penny from you.

Moreover, that was when Zhou Yu was still single. Now Zhou Yu has a girlfriend, not to mention that they are about to get engaged. The couple will not ask any more questions about their son's income.

Zhou Dahai and Wang Yufang, a couple, have typical traditional thinking of Chinese parents. Why do they work so hard? Isn't it just to save more so that they can help their son more after he gets married and starts a family?

As for retirement...

The elderly couple Zhou Dahai and Wang Yufang think that we both have pensions, and we will use the pensions to support ourselves when we retire. Your money can be used to improve the lives of you and your future wife Qiao Meng.

Parents like Zhou Dahai and Wang Yufang are actually the image of the older generation of parents in China.

They are hardworking and thrifty, and are willing to spend their hard-earned money on their children.

They are reluctant to give up their native land and homeland, but are willing to leave their hometown and go to a strange city in order to give their children a better life, using their only strength to exchange for a few pieces of silver;

They have a deep love for their children, but are often not good at expressing their emotions. Perhaps due to cultural background or personal character, they prefer to express their love for their family through practical actions.

...

Wang Yufang and Zhou Dahai knew something about Zhou Yu's savings. For example, last summer Zhou Yu went to Jiahe for more than a month to earn some extra money, and when he came back, there was an extra 200,000 yuan in his bank card.

So, Wang Yufang couldn't figure out where the remaining money came from.

Is it possible that the salary at No. 2 Middle School is so high? !

Tens of thousands of dollars a month?!

Zhou Yu's salary was not that outrageous. Apart from the 200,000 yuan, he received another 100,000 yuan as a reward from the system when he completed the task. However, the reward system also provided proof of a formal channel, indicating that it was obtained from investment dividends, so no one would be able to find any problems.

The remaining money comes from salary, the money Zhou Yu saved from scholarships when he was in school, his salary at Wuzhou Middle School, and the bonus from the college entrance examination. All these added together make Zhou Yu look quite wealthy now.

Yes, in response to his mother's question, Zhou Yu simply explained to Wang Yufang that he had made a lot of money from the investment.

The son has grown up and has his own ideas. After hearing Zhou Yu's assurance that the original investment was risk-free and that he is no longer making it, Wang Yufang stopped asking questions.

After Zhou Dahai brought the bowl and the rice cooker over, the family of three sat down at the dining table and prepared to eat.

"Last time I went to your teacher Qiao's house, your mother, your teacher Qiao and Aunt Huang discussed it with me," Zhou Dahai suddenly mentioned what happened during the last meal while the family was having dinner. "We asked someone to take a look. In two days, it will be a good day for engagement and marriage!"

"We plan to hold an engagement party first to settle the matter between you and Qiao Meng."
