"That's fine. If you don't have enough money, you can ask us for some first. Consider it a loan to you, and you can pay us back later when you have more."
The house had already been given to them, and Yu Jiu wasn't short of money for renovations. However, since Yu Caihong insisted, she didn't say anything more. After that, everyone's lives returned to normal, with them going to work and school diligently, and living each day to the fullest.
After resting for a while, Xu Zijiang and Yu Jiu started rebuilding the house. They had already bought the land, and after observing the area, they found that there was still a large market for real estate. So, the two of them invested their money back without hesitation.
Since most of the funds have already been recovered, we can start investing them outwards.
The two planned to do nothing else for the next few years but focus on developing real estate, hoarding land, and building houses.
This industry is indeed extremely profitable. Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang's net worth skyrocketed, and their bank account balances reached an unbelievable level.
Zhang Yan and Gouzi took a steady and pragmatic approach. They had wanted to open a hotel before, and although they were once harassed and kidnapped, they managed to resolve that problem and their hotel opened smoothly, with business booming.
Afterwards, the two focused on opening a chain of hotels, which were stable and profitable in various places. Their net worth skyrocketed, earning them enough money to last several lifetimes.
That's how it is. Neither Yu Caihong nor her husband were envious, nor did they mention wanting to join them in the business. Yu Jiu also asked Yu Caihong if she wanted to learn how to do some small business with them. He didn't expect to earn a lot of money, but it would definitely be more than what she was making working for someone else.
However, after considering it, Yu Caihong and her husband still chose to refuse. They were quite content with their current life, which was neither particularly good nor bad, just ordinary and peaceful. Neither of them liked doing business and felt that they didn't have the ability to do so, so they didn't want to hold Yu Jiu back.
They already have a house and can make a living by working. If they want to make a lot of money, it depends on whether their two daughters have the ability and ambition.
Seeing this, Yu Jiu didn't force her; being content with what you have is also good.
Perhaps it's because Yu Caihong and her man aren't greedy people that they can still get along so well despite the large gap between rich and poor.
However, Yu Jiu and Xu Zi are undefeated when it comes to making money, but recently they have encountered a thorny issue that they cannot resolve, which is about An An. An An finally fell in love during her second year of high school.
Yu Jiu was so angry when she received a phone call from her teacher that her boyfriend was a delinquent teenager with dyed yellow hair who rode a motorcycle.
She asked the teacher for confirmation, her voice trembling.
"Teacher, are you sure that boy has dyed blond hair, likes to ride motorcycles, and doesn't do well in school?"
Yu Jiu doesn't object to early dating, but she thinks her daughter's boyfriend should be some kind of campus heartthrob, a clean-cut, academically gifted, and handsome young man in a white shirt. What kind of nonsense is this delinquent riding a ghost fire?
"Yes, An'an's mother, I suggest you and her father come over together so we can talk about this in person. An'an is a very good student, and you don't want her to be held back by that boy, do you?"
"Okay, teacher, we'll be right there."
Yu Jiu wouldn't delay any longer, so she immediately called Xu Zijiang, and the two of them rushed to the school. An'an was still standing there as punishment with that male classmate.
The boy leaned casually against the wall, his arrogant and unruly manner evident in his dyed blond hair. He wasn't wearing a school uniform; his T-shirt had a skull print, giving him a very dark and edgy look.
He even had his ears pierced and wore earrings. When Yu Jiu saw this, she almost fainted, but luckily Xu Zijiang caught her and helped her regain her balance.
"Dad, Mom, you're here."
An'an noticed that the two of them seemed a little guilty and didn't dare to look them in the eye. The boy, on the other hand, didn't show any expression when he saw them. He just straightened up a bit and stopped leaning against the wall so casually.
"An'an, don't you need to explain this to us?"
Yu Jiu took a deep breath before asking her, and An An whispered.
"Mom, didn't you say you wouldn't object to me dating too early? Well, that's exactly what's happening now."
She didn't need to explain any further; the situation was clear: she was in a relationship and had been caught by the teacher.
····
"I did say I didn't object to you dating early, but, but you can't..."
Yu Jiu glanced at the male classmate. She didn't say anything harsh to his face, but you could tell from her unspoken words that she was dissatisfied with him.
The male student wasn't surprised at all. He stiffened for a moment, then leaned back against the wall in a nonchalant manner, no longer pretending at all.
"Mom, he's a very nice person, not what you think!"
An'an mustered up the courage to refute her mother and protect her boyfriend. Yu Jiu felt so frustrated and speechless that the teacher finally spoke up.
"An'an, you can go stand outside. I need to talk to your parents."
"Okay, teacher."
An'an has always been respectful of her teachers and very obedient, so she obediently took her boyfriend's hand and stood outside. Holding hands in front of teachers and parents—it has to be said that An'an is both obedient and rebellious; it's truly unexpected. Yu Jiu rubbed her forehead, not wanting to say anything.
Actually, An'an was also very nervous. She didn't know what the teacher would say to her parents. Even though she was standing, she nervously looked towards the closed doors and windows of the office, trying to find out what they were saying.
What else could be said? The teacher briefly explained An'an's boyfriend situation and then mentioned that An'an didn't agree to break up. She wanted Yu Jiu and Xu Zi to persuade An'an, and also talked to her about the dangers of early relationships. Yu Jiu said she understood, but An'an didn't get it.
"Why were only An'an's parents called? What about the boy's parents?"
Don't the male student's parents need to come over?
"Well, it's like this, this male student's parents are both abroad and said they can't come back today. They'll talk about it when they return to China next time. Besides, they seem to approve of early dating and don't take this matter seriously."
That's why I wanted you to discipline An'an more strictly. Also, regarding my suggestion that they break up, the male classmate didn't seem to care much, but An'an strongly objected. I feel that An'an might need to be more proactive in this early romance. If we can resolve this issue with An'an, that would be ideal.
The teacher subtly implied that in this relationship, it was their An'an who was more deeply involved, while the boy seemed indifferent. Perhaps it wasn't even the boy who initiated the relationship, but rather An'an herself who had taken a liking to the delinquent boy with dyed yellow hair and riding a ghost-like motorcycle.
Thinking about it this way, Yu Jiu's heart ached even more. Why was this happening?
Xu Zijiang couldn't understand how An'an could have such poor taste, how could she fall for this kind of man? He used to think that his daughter was still many years away from dating and marriage, but An'an's sudden early romance really confused Xu Zijiang. And it wasn't that she was deceived by the man, but that their An'an took the bait herself!
Xu Zijiang's heart ached too; what terrible news this was!
