Chapter 79 - 79 79 The Career of Parents

79: Chapter 79: The Career of Parents 79: Chapter 79: The Career of Parents “The village collective enterprise isn’t too bad since everyone knows each other well.

But with our village’s situation, even if a venture is started, I doubt it’ll make much money.

I don’t want us to end up losing more.”

“How could that happen?

Given the state of our village, who would dare mess things up.

If we really lose this time, they’ll have no face to seek investments again in the future.

Besides, those guys are already on the case, aren’t they?”

Zhao Feng was somewhat hesitant, “That makes sense, but I’m just worried about the ‘what ifs’.”

“Worried about what?

I’m not lacking that bit of money right now; let’s just go ahead.

At the very least, we should try.”

Indeed, if they didn’t try, his mom might always have this nagging feeling.

At this point, Zhao Feng finally reassured himself.

Of course, since his son said so, they should give it a try.

Honestly, he wasn’t unkind; who wouldn’t want to give back to their hometown and help their family if they became successful?

It’s just that sometimes, one either lacks the ability, or there are some other objective reasons.

“Lao Zhao, are we really going to do this?

If our son invests so much and loses it all, it won’t be good.”

“If he loses, he loses.

He doesn’t care, so why should you?

Look, he has already sent the money; the kid must be really doing well for himself.”

Now, both of them were completely reassured about Zhao Guang.

Although initially worried that he might have been involved in something shady, the amount of money made that unlikely.

Such dubious dealings couldn’t possibly bring in so much.

Or even if they did, would they really dare to flaunt it so openly?

“But I still feel like this is a bit unreliable.” Li Dujuan was hesitant.

“What’s going on with you, woman?

You were the one who wanted to help, and now you are the one being wishy-washy.

What nonsense is this?” Zhao Feng was suddenly quite irritated.

This woman always hesitated at crucial times and could never make up her mind entirely.

Afterward, she would start regretting, which wasn’t helpful at all.

“Isn’t it just because I worry about wasting the kid’s money?

Is it easy for him to make money?”

If Zhao Guang were here, he would surely raise both hands and tell them that it was indeed very easy, extremely easy.

It’s just a bit of artwork after all, not something really valuable.

“Alright, alright, let the villagers decide.

If it really gets messed up, we’ve still done something.

They won’t have the face to keep asking us for help,” Lao Zhao said.

“I’m just afraid some people will still come knocking.”

“Ha, if we encounter someone that thick-skinned, why should we bother with them at all?

Do we have to cater to these leeches forever?” Zhao Feng had a very clear view of the situation.

If there were such people, they truly didn’t deserve help.

Such people, no matter how much you help them, will only view you with envy and suspicion, never with gratitude.

“Let’s leave it at that then.

You and your son can figure it out.”

Oh?

What’s going on, backing out now?

This woman really needs sorting out.

But then thinking it over, Zhao Feng didn’t dare; making a scene would only backfire on him.

“Alright, enough talk.

Go and find his Fourth Uncle; he still holds some sway in the village committee.”

After discussing it a bit, the two of them went to find Zhao Guang’s Fourth Uncle.

The village is small and most people are related in some way.

He sought this person out not only because he had a bit of prestige in the village, but also because he had a good reputation.

Without him supporting, the situation in the village could have been even worse.

Nowadays, you can hardly see any young people in the village; they have all gone out to work.

If things continue like this, this village will sooner or later be abandoned.

In the past, they failed to attract investment, but unexpectedly, someone from their own village had prospered and was even planning to come back to invest.

The village was delighted, and because of this investment, they held an overnight meeting.

Elder Si went directly into action, warning everyone not to mess things up.

If this attempt fails again, it might be impossible for anyone from the village to consider investing here in the future.

To ensure the village could continue and exist, nobody was allowed to cause any problems.

It was not just the older generation; even the young people now shared the same thought.

Some who initially wanted to reach out, didn’t even get a chance before they were repeatedly warned by others.

On the way back, Li Dujuan said to Zhao Feng, “You know, Guangzi always being like this is not good either.

I think Lao Wang’s daughter from next door isn’t bad.

Should we introduce her to Guangzi?”

“Would you calm down?

Do you think we’re still ordinary folks like before?”

“Why aren’t we?

Have we forgotten our roots, huh?

Aren’t we just rural people?”

“I’m not saying we aren’t, but you can’t view Guangzi’s achievements with the old mindset.

Do you think those from our villages are a match for him?

If they end up together and cause trouble, what will you do?”

“But those city girls are even harder to deal with.

There are so many divorces nowadays.

What if…”

“Why do you care so much?

With Guangzi’s conditions, what kind of girl can’t he find?

Just be content being your rich madam.”

“Rich madam, huh?

I will never be affluent in this lifetime.

I’ve been accustomed to a hard life by your side forever.”

Zhao Feng was a bit displeased, “What do you mean by having a hard life with me your whole life?

What hardships have you actually faced?

Besides, it hasn’t been your entire life, we have a good son.”

“Yep, I enjoy blessings with my son but suffer losses with you.”

Well then, better to remain quiet.

Zhao Guang felt that whatever he said would be wrong; this old woman was simply unreasonable.

However, looking at the road back, a smile emerged on Zhao Feng’s face; he had never felt so relieved in his life.

“Let’s quit our jobs when we get back and focus on developing the village.

If the village really takes off, we can consider ourselves to have done something meaningful.”

It wasn’t just Li Dujuan who wanted to take care of her family; Zhao Feng felt the same.

Previously there was no opportunity, but now there was, and crucially, with their son’s support.

They wouldn’t have to hustle for a living anymore and could finally do things they wanted to do.

This initial investment, as long as it wasn’t squandered, would embolden him to shamelessly ask his son for a second round of investment.

“Just quit like that, what if…”

“I just don’t understand why you’re fussing so much; you don’t want this, you can’t let go of that, how can anything ever be achieved?”

“Fine, fine, fine, I’ll quit.

If later we can’t afford food, my son will support me, not you.”

Zhao Feng turned his head away, no longer wanting to argue with this old woman, who clearly lacked any sense of the bigger picture.

Considering Guangzi’s current success, there was nothing to worry about.

If he could send over five million, it meant his worth was at least fifty million.
