Chapter 225 – Heroes Comes from Youth since Ancient Times (2/2)
As expected, the moment I said this, my dad immediately went silence, then looked at me for quite a while, then finally said, “How much did you earn?”
“Several hundred thousand,” I randomly said a number. Money was just a number to me, there wasn’t much difference between several hundred thousand and several hundred million, several hundred thousand was enough to let our family live a very good life, so I didn’t have to say a terrifying number that would cause my dad to have a heart attack.
“Several… Several hundred thousand?” My dad exclaimed. Even Uncle He, who was lying on the bed went “ah”. Several hundred thousand was an astronomical number to a normal family in 1995, in Songjiang city, two or three thousand kuai was enough to buy a very good heated apartment!
“I’m not sure exactly how much, since my money was a percentage of the profit,” I said. I couldn’t be too firm with the number, if my dad notice that the money I bring home is over several hundred thousand, I can still explain that it’s new dividends.
“Percentage?” This was the first time my dad has heard of earning money like this, from his perspective, earning money was a one time thing.
“Yes, I made a software with a computer, and cooperated with a computer company, my money is all earned that way!” I nodded and said.
“Alright! You must tell me exactly what this thing is about after we get home!” My dad stopped worrying a bit after hearing that I earned money using high-tech things, and didn’t do anything illegal.
I sighed, my dad’s thinking was truly too simple, he is just someone that deals with technology, and haven’t seen a lot of money, seeing that he is shocked like this with several hundred thousand, I can see how hard a process it will be if I have to tell him everything later!
“Alright, dad, then just leave Uncle He’s family’s issue for me to deal with, I promise I’ll get Jia Daguo to give us an explanation,” I said.
“Son, don’t do something over the lane!” My dad said worriedly.
“Dad, just don’t worry, I have some relationships in Songjiang city’s higher-ups, if I get them to pressure the country, this thing will be easy to deal with!” I said perfunctorily. As for my true plan, I definitely can’t say it, or else my dad will not be able to accept it.
“Old Liu, it seem like your son is better than you! You should really change your stubborn personality as well! I was the same as you back in the days, I was a direct person, and didn’t know how to flatter and appease people, so I got pulled down from the position of the village chief, I didn’t think much of it at the time, I never would have thought that I would meet trouble everywhere later, and even got such an issue just when I want to make a fruit garden. Now that I think about it, what am I pissed off with Jia Daguo for, I got my money back, just treat it as having worked for naught, and I still wanted to argue with him, how can you speak logic to rascals, I’m childish! Childish!” Uncle He sighed and said. “Old Liu, your son is truly talented! He’s able to earn money at such a young age, he earned several hundred thousand in half a year, and most hilariously, I am still not giving up for several thousand kuai! Ai, we’re old, it’s not our time!”
“Old Liu, don’t speak like that, he’s just a child, don’t listen to him bullshit, he doesn’t even know how much he earned, who knows if it’s real or fake,” My dad still didn’t believe I earned several hundred thousand, he does believe that I earned money, but he thought I was exaggerating when I said several hundred thousand.
“Hehe, heroes come from youths since ancient times, this was truly right! Old Liu, you gave birth to a good son, unlike me, I gave birth to a disappointing little chick, causing trouble everywhere for me! She insist on going out to work at such a young age, in the end she didn’t understand anything and met bad people! Xiao Xi already called me and said that if it wasn’t Liu Lei helping out that time, Xiao Xi might have already…” Uncle He said.
“Old He, what are you mentioning this for, don’t you still have a young son! Your girl is also so cute, both your dimei and I are so jealous!” My dad waved his hand and said.
Uncle He looked at me and said with a smile to my dad, “Old Liu, you really don’t know you’re in happiness, isn’t a daughter just a loss, she’s raised for someone else! When she marries out, we still have to give dowry…”
