Chapter 968: Chapter 968: Going Home to Visit
Several months had passed, and the money that the wine factory made had surprised Peter Brown. According to market research, the biggest consumers were not men, but beauty-loving women. Of course, men’s consumption was equally astonishing. Peter had no idea how much money he had in his bank account, but it just kept increasing every day.
As he rode his sword back to Flower Creek Village, Peter was lost in thought, his mind reflecting on his time spent here. He had originally wanted to help the villagers by developing a business, but as soon as they started making money, the villagers abandoned the Windsor family.
At this thought, Peter sighed to himself. This time, he had no plans to do things the same way, as things easily attained were often not cherished.
Walking quickly toward his home, Peter was curious to see what was happening there.
The village was quiet, and all the early-rising villagers were already in the fields working, leaving few people in the village.
As he approached his own front door, Peter suddenly felt timid.
"Peter!"
Suddenly, his father’s voice echoed.
Looking up, Raven Walter was staring at Peter in surprise.
"Dad, what are you doing at home?"
"Just sent Clara to school."
It was then that Peter remembered that Kate Brown, his younger sister, was in her third year of junior high school. He wondered if she would be able to attend high school after taking her exams.
"Dad, where’s mom?"
"She’s probably out working in the field. Why are you home?"
"School gave us a few days off, so I came back to see everyone."
Peter didn’t dare tell his father that he had skipped class.
Raven Walter didn’t ask for further details but said, "Good timing. Go help out in the field."
Looking at his father, Peter felt sentimental. It was around this time in the last timeline that his father had an accident and spent all their savings on medical treatment.
"Dad, I partnered with someone to start a wine factory, and we made quite a bit of money."
As they walked, Peter casually mentioned this fact.
"What? You made money?"
Raven Walter was first puzzled, then shouted, "I told you to go to school, not to go into business!"
"Others are doing it. Remember the money I gave you last time? I said I won it from the lottery—a total of five million, and after taxes, around four million. I invested it in a wine factory, and guess how much we’ve made?"
At this point, Raven Walter’s entire demeanor changed, and he even became unsteady on his feet. "How much did you say? Four million?"
"Peter, you’re back?" At this moment, the two had reached the field, where Liza Smith was working.
"Mom, come rest for a while."
Peter hurriedly took the hoe from his mother’s hands.
"What did you say? Four million?" Raven Walter continued questioning Peter, still in shock. No one in the village had ever seen so much money before, and the amount left Raven Walter feeling overwhelmed.
"What is it? What about the four million?" Liza Smith asked, confused as she looked at the two of them.
Peter repeated the story he had concocted.
At this, Liza Smith was also left dumbfounded.
Seeing their expressions, Peter urgently shouted loudly.
After Peter’s loud yell, both of his parents recovered somewhat. Liza Smith quickly grasped Peter’s arm, glanced around to see if anyone had heard them, and then whispered, "Is it true?"
Peter nodded and said, "Yes, it’s true. I won over four million from the lottery, and after sending you twenty thousand, I invested the rest in a wine factory. The factory made several hundred million, and now your son has made some money. You don’t have to work in the fields anymore. I’ll buy you a big house in the city, and we can live comfortably."
Raven Walter was still uneasy and asked, "You really made that much?"
Both parents were frightened again by the amount of several hundred million, as they couldn’t help but wonder just how much money it was.
They stopped working, and the three returned home together.
"Son, you wouldn’t lie to us, would you?"
Peter simply brought out a large backpack he’d intentionally carried with him, and from it, he began pulling out bundles of cash. In an instant, the table was covered with money.
Seeing the table full of money, Raven Walter and Liza Smith were dumbfounded once again. The visual impact was so enormous that both felt as if they might pass out.
"Quickly, pack it up, pack it up."
Raven Walter hurriedly stuffed the money back into the backpack. Then he went outside and looked around before tightly closing the door. He held the bag and looked around for a hiding place.
"Don’t worry, this is just a little money. We’ve made so much more than this."
Peter smiled as he said this.
Peter wanted to help his family in this way. In the last timeline, his father had invested in a wine factory that had left him bitter and resentful, so this time, Peter simply handed over the money, not wanting his parents to worry as much.
After hiding the backpack under the bed, Raven Walter finally looked at Peter and asked, "How did you make so much money?"
"I didn’t have to do anything. After investing the money, I just received a share of the profits. Anyway, I made several hundred million dollars."
Peter didn’t dare tell his parents the exact amount he had earned, for fear of scaring them.
Liza Smith laughed and said, "Finally, we can pay back the money we borrowed. Always owing someone money doesn’t feel good."
"Pay it back! Pay it back right away!" Raven Walter waved his hand, his aura rising.
This time, Peter returned specifically to bring back money and help his parents regain their health.
Peter thought about it and decided not to dramatically change his parents’ lives during this timeline. The previous timeline was crucial for his parents’ development; all that mattered at this stage was that they were healthy and happy.
After sitting and discussing for a while, Raven Walter ultimately didn’t agree to move to the city with Peter; he felt most familiar and comfortable with life in their village.
"Dad, with this money, you guys don’t have to work in the fields anymore. Hire some people to help take care of the land and renovate the house."
"All you need to do is focus on your studies. The exams are coming soon, so concentrate on those. Don’t worry about us."
"Okay, I understand."
Seeing his parents this way, Peter felt relieved. At least in this timeline, his father wouldn’t get hurt collecting herbal medicine in the mountains to deal with family issues.
In the following days, Peter served his parents Elixirs dissolved in water, which were beneficial to their health.
Seeing the rapid changes in his parents’ health, Peter’s mood improved significantly. He stayed for two more days before leaving the village.
Walking back to the county, Peter knew that the next step was the college entrance examination.
