Chapter 434: The Heart of Parents

Because his mind was constantly occupied, even though he was tossing and turning on the bed, he found it difficult to fall asleep.
He felt like he was dreaming, but when he opened his eyes, he saw the alarm clock beside him under the moonlight. He looked at the time. It was already 10:30 at night.
Suddenly, he had the urge to pee. He quietly got up from the bed and opened the door. The living room was quiet.
It seemed that his parents had already gone to bed, so Xu Wenping quietly entered the bathroom and peed before coming out.
Just as he was about to return to his room, he suddenly heard the sound of their whispering coming from his parents’ room.
He wondered what the two of them were discussing in the middle of the night.
Xu Wenping’s curiosity prompted him not to return to his room. He just gently closed the door and pretended to return to his room. In fact, he was still squatting at the door of his parents’ room.
“Sigh, did our son get up to go to the bathroom just now?”
“He’s already gone back. It’s okay.”
“I did a rough calculation today. Other than the 80,000 yuan we still owe outside, we’ve basically paid off all our debts.”
“Sigh, if it weren’t for the fact that we spent so much money to find a job for him, I’m afraid we would still be able to save some money now.”
“There’s nothing we can do about it. This is the child’s job. It’s a lifelong matter. No matter how much money we spend, we have to fork it out.”
“Yes, I know. I don’t mean to complain, but right now, we don’t have much money. Moreover, there’s still 20,000 yuan. They’re urging us to return it immediately.”
“Yes, you’re talking about this. There’s another thing I want to tell you. The factory hasn’t been doing very well recently, so my salary might be lowered next month.”
“What? And lower it? This is already such a low salary. At that time, we won’t even be able to solve the basic problem of food and clothing.”
“Aiya, if we can’t, tighten your belt. Can’t we live our lives? Besides, our son has already started work. He can get his salary next month. In this case, our salary won’t be reduced. Instead, it will be increased. Don’t you think so?”
“You’re always so optimistic. You’ll never know how difficult it is to get daily necessities. Alright, don’t worry. I know what to do. If it really doesn’t work, I’ll go out and get another job. Anyway, the child has already gone to work. I don’t have anything to do at home during the day.”
“You’re still working? Don’t work anymore. Don’t you know your own health condition? You can’t tire yourself out at all. If you tire yourself out too much, you won’t be able to take it. I already feel that it’s very hard for you to stay at home and clean up the house, take care of the child, and cook. No, you can’t go out.”
“If I don’t go out, are we going to rely on the northwest wind every day, rely on our son’s money, or your money? Moreover, the child is already old enough to have his own thoughts and life. As for the money, I’ve thought about it. Let him keep it. We don’t want a single cent.”
“How can that be? He’s already grown up now. Besides, let him take some money for the food and accommodation at home. Our family isn’t a rich family. It’s not much. At least 500 or 800 yuan for him. This isn’t much, right?”
“What I mean is, don’t take a single cent. Just let him save it up.”
“Save it? Do you think he can save money?”
“Not necessarily. At the very least, we have to give him this right. If he doesn’t even have this right, then we’re really not qualified parents.”
Everything that was being said was said by Zhao Haiying.
After Xu Wenping heard it, he was indeed a little touched.
She was filled with love. It was truly selfless love. On the surface, she looked so serious and fierce to him. However, he did not expect her to really consider so many things for him in private.
Xu Wenping felt a little moved. He wiped the corners of his eyes with his fingers. He didn’t expect that tears would quietly flow out from his tears.
He swore that he would work hard and speed up his life as soon as possible. Once he got those shares, he would start immediately. Then, he would bring his parents to a big house and let them enjoy life.
“That’s right. I mentioned something to him today. If he goes back and forth like this every day, it’ll probably take him about an hour. Why don’t we buy an electric bicycle for him? That way, it’ll be much more convenient for him to go back and forth to work.”
“Buying an electric bicycle is not a small sum of money. We don’t have much left. If we really need money for emergencies, what should we do?”
“Aiya, there’s no emergency. My body is strong and there’s nothing wrong with it. The child is fine, and you’re fine for the time being. However, you can’t let the child squeeze on the bus every day. It’s too tiring. You know that he likes to sleep in. If you can give him a bicycle, at least half of the time can be saved.” “Alright then. It’s for the child anyway. Alright, how about this? We’ll bring him to the electric bike market this weekend to pick one for him.”
“Alright, then it’s settled.”
“Sigh, now that I think about it, he’s just a child. If his sister was here, perhaps she could help share some of the burden.”
Zhao Haiying was the one who said this. Moreover, one could hear that she was indeed filled with loneliness when she said this.
“It’s been so many years. What are you still thinking about her for?”
“Sigh, you know what? I’ve been having a dream recently. 1 dreamed of my Xiao Hui. She didn’t die at all, and she seemed to have returned.”
“Don’t be crazy. It’s been so many years. If she’s not dead, she would have returned long ago. Why hasn’t she walked out of the shadows yet?”
“How can she walk out? What a good child. Moreover, she suddenly disappeared. Now, I can’t even see her body. How painful is that feeling?”
“I know. I’m the same. But there’s nothing we can do. It’s fate. We have to accept this fact. It’s fine now. Wenping has gradually grown up, so I’ll focus on raising this son well. I think he’s a promising talent….”
