Chapter 97: Old Welland’s Hope

It was strange to say that these days, being in the Farm gave Old Welland more peace than being at home.

On his property, on his farmland, no one trespassed. He never thought farming would be so therapeutic, being a good way to relieve his stress.

Despite not doing much farm work in his youth, that didn’t mean he was completely clueless. He went hard on the poor soil, venting all his frustrations on it when he first came out to farm. But now, he was more calmer, using this time to think.

Yes.... think about the future of his Wen family in Geldhan village. Kicking a stone on the road, Old Welland grumbled to himself. "Dammit, does that bastard Gong think I’m so blind that I can’t see what he and that despicable son of his are doing?"

How long did those Gong villains take to turn the whole village to their side? He must be doing it on purpose!

"Their goal must be to drive my Wen Family out of Geldhan village." Old Welland concluded.

Sure enough, money is the route of all evil. Can you believe that a little chicken change has led to so many people dancing around The Gort and his family?

Sure, he—Old Welland—doesn’t even have so many zeros in his account. But what do these people know? Old Welland swore in his heart that his son was definitely better than Gort.

"It’s all because my Wen boy is studying in a foreign country on a special permit because of his high intellect." Old Welland muttered. "If he were here, he would have for sure made the villagers 10 times more money than they already get."

Old Welland firmly believed this in his heart, sitting on his porch while Dia Bai, his wife, quickly rushed to take off his farm boots. She also came out with a basin of water and a clean cloth for him to wash his hands, feet, and face.

She patiently waited at the side, only assisting when he called out. "Husband, you’ve worked hard. Quickly, come in and eat to your fill."

When it came to her husband, Dia Bai took him like a Buddha.

"Hmm..." Old Welland hummed calmly, leading the way into his home with Dia Bai following humbly behind him.

Old Welland’s steps when enticing his home were quickened after hearing his neighbors and other passersby continue their daily boasting.

Soon he was stuffing his face with Dia Bai’s dishes. Old Welland had to admit that even though this woman was not his heart’s true desire, she was a great cook who also knew how to jump to his liking in the bedroom.

What’s more, she gave him a son, an intelligent one at that.

Again, despite her shrewish nature towards others, she one hundred percent believed in whatever he said, making her very controllable.

In essence, she was his Dog. He often misguided and used her like a shield, or a means of attack, hinting at some things that made her go crazy. From there, she would rush out to attack whoever it was who was giving him a hard time.

Like a good dog, she proved her worth.

It was because of these reasons that he chose to stay married to her. If not he would have switched her out long ago for a younger wife.

Why did the food seem even better than before?

Old Welland chewed with relish, already having too much on his mind.

What he did not know was that Dia Bai had secretly disobeyed his order, adding a very, very, small quantity of Artificially grown food in the mix.

Old Welland had banned all foods grown by GF World Tech. But after accidentally tasting these foods, she secretly disobeyed Old Welland for the first time.

However, her husband was too smart, so she dared not add too much in each meal. For the past few months, they’ve been eating GF WorldTech food and her husband didn’t even notice.

He had too much on his mind to notice. Old Welland ate 2 big bowls of food and nodded in excitement. However, when he was about to rise from his seat, a loud vibrating noise echoed, causing him to freeze.

These days, he has dreaded communicating with others on phone, as countless people often called him to ask for his own share of the millions.

They think the entire Geldhan village is rich, not knowing that the Old Welland family was not involved in the matter.

Vrrrmmmmm~

His phone vibrated loudly.

Who was calling him now? Old Welland frowned, hesitating only for a bit, before taking a deep breath to answer the call that came up on his screen as ’UNKNOWN.’

But placing the device by his ears, he heard the sound of someone very familiar.

[Dad, it’s me, Welland Poe.]

WHAT? Welland Poe?

Old Welland became worried.

"What’s the matter? Where’s your phone? This is not the foreign number you gave us last time. Are you in trouble? Has something bad happened over there?"

Dia Bai on the side was also nervous, squatting beside Welland Poe with stretched ears.

This is her son, her son she pushed out after several seasons.

"Son, mother’s boy, are you alright? What’s going on?"

She couldn’t help herself, grabbing the phone from Old Welland and putting it on speaker.

[ Dad, mom, I’m fine.... In fact, I’m more than fine. First, I need you to send me your banking details now.]

Ah-

The two exclaimed in shock and confusion, but still did what he said. And in under a minute, a total of 5 Million Gwins was transferred to their account.

"5... 5... 5..."

Both people couldn’t believe what their eyes were now seeing.

They... they too had become millionaires just like that?

....

The smiles on Old Welland and Dia Bai’s face bloomed like daisies.

5 Million Gwins landed in their account and you don’t expect them to wiggle?

These days, the many people throwing money at their faces, make their bodies twist and stretch unnaturally.

Old Welland even felt he might have turned gassy these past few weeks due to the amount of hate brooding in his belly.

Fortunately, his son had called now, or he might really start going crazy from envy and hate. He felt he was not wrong.

These Fairbang people were the bad ones here, using money to manipulate the masses in Geldhan village.

He had even once seen Gort, the spawn of that bastard, being hoisted into the air and carried about like an ancient prince.

Sure enough, these bastards only want to make themselves look good.

Hmph!

Old Welland sneered viciously.

Before, the villagers flaunted their money around him, as if telling him he would remain a poor man if he didn’t make up with Park Fairbang, the village head. But look at it now? Hasn’t his brilliant and genius son also made it out there, so much that he is now able to send money over just like that?

Unlike Dia Bai, Old Welland’s initial excitement quickly calmed down. He might be crazy for money, but not to the point of neglecting the future of his Genius heir.

"Son, this money... How did you make it?"

"Yes, yes, yes, Welland Poe." Dia Bai added, realizing that her husband had indirectly brought up a serious matter.

Where did he get the money from? And are wire-transfers so fast now-a-days?

[ Dad, Mom, I know what you’re thinking, but don’t worry. Your son impressed various seniors in the Kevian country, and has decided to stay here for a while.]

WHAT?

The duo were shocked, but only temporarily.

Perhaps it’s because of Gort’s many escapades over the years, that one might forget that Welland Poe was a genius in his own rights, a genius whom a great majority of people could not compete with.

He entered many junior competitions, and other events that caught the eyes of various international seniors.

Before Gort had even decided to drop school and return to the village, Welland Poe had been selected and taken abroad for a special Program, which also included training various younger world geniuses spotted across the globe.

The average geniuses were sent back after a year or 2, but the real ones that go above and beyond, are retained through ’seduction.’

Can you be seduced by wealth and money?—The answer was YES.

They were promised heaven and earth, from money, women, cars, mansions, properties, you name it!

Many felt they would never regret betraying their countries in this lifetime, taking the offers in the ink of an eye. Only a blind man would turn down such a thing!

"What? So you mean you did so well that they promised to pay you an acceptance fee of 9 Million Kevs, and in addition, a monthly salary of 2 Million, when you haven’t even graduated yet?"

How old was their son? Just 14!

He wasn’t even in University, but he was already accepted by this Big Winged Country... Do you think 9 Million Kevs was a little sun?
