Chapter 155: Chapter 151: Filial Piety

“You little rascal! Had I known you were this generous, we might as well have given this all away! We’ve sold all of our belongings, and even if we add up our yearly income from farming, it only amounts to around 140k to 150k yuan. If we subtract the costs of pesticides and seeds, we’d only have about 70k to 80k yuan left. You just threw away 100k yuan like it was nothing. Do you realize it took us selling everything we owned to earn that much? Without selling everything, our yearly income would only be about 40k to 50k yuan!”

Fay Wells held the financial reins of the household. Hence, she knew like the back of her hand exactly how much they made in a year. Finn Lewis quietly took the scolding; he’d momentarily overlooked their limited finances. They didn’t object at the time, so he figured a little grumbling was fair.

“Mom, don’t be upset, here.” Finn tried to appease Fay and hastily pulled a bank card from his pocket and handed it to her.

This was a reserve he had prepared when applying for a loan from ICBC. He had secured about a dozen bank cards, besides the one he used for personal expenses, the rest were common gold cards, useful for situations where cash wasn’t viable but a check wouldn’t do either.

“What’s this?” Fay accepted the gold card. “A bank card?” She didn’t recognize it at first.

“Yes, there’s a million yuan in it. I saved it for you and Dad,” Finn replied with a nod.

“That’s a lot.” Fay was taken aback. Finn had mentioned making tens of millions before, sure, but he had also said he invested in a company. They had assumed that all his money was bound up in that business, not expecting him to casually hand them a card with a million yuan.

“When you and Dad move to Havenia, you’ll need money. Keep this card, I’ll transfer money into it monthly. Feel free to buy whatever you want,” Finn quickly added.

Fay and Hazel Lewis exchanged glances, then Fay hesitantly returned the card to Finn. “You keep it. It’s too much. Your Dad and I can’t possibly spend all that.

Just give us 100k yuan. That’s plenty for us to live on in Havenia for a year.

We’ll find jobs, too, so…”

“Mom.” Finn couldn’t bear to hear another word and cut her off.

“Alright, alright, we’ll do as you say.” Fay finally relented.

The Lewis family remained at home for another week before finally departing. They left with hardly any belongings but some clothes. The rest they left behind. In reality, they had already exited village life three days prior, spending the remaining time at their grandparents’ house.

Finn’s grandparents lived in town. He had always been the darling of their eyes, being their eldest grandson. Originally, Finn wanted his grandparents to accompany his parents to the city. However, he knew it would be a hard sell.

In the past, his aunt had endeavored to do the same, but their stubborn grandfather was quite comfortable with his rural lifestyle. During a visit to his aunt’s city dwelling one Spring festival, Grandpa insisted on using the public restroom outside instead of the toilet in the flat. The old man found it incredibly uncomfortable and refused to use it.

This refusal did leave them feeling helpless. Thankfully, despite his 77 years,

Grandpa stayed astonishingly healthy. Grandma, on the other hand, was ailing.

“Grandpa, Grandma, keep this tea. Don’t use too much each time. This tea has great health benefits. It’ll help ensure you live a long life,” Finn left behind the serenity tea and misty tea as he had promised.

“Can your grandma have it? Didn’t the doctors tell us not to let her drink tea?” Grandpa, a bit puzzled, opened the tea and took a whiff. The fragrant aroma indicated to him that this was top-quality tea. However, Grandma had severe asthma and had instructions to refrain from tea, having spent most of her years living on a diet of medication.

Ironically, this was also one reason Grandpa was reluctant to move to a larger city; the air quality was much worse and definitely wouldn’t aid Grandma’s condition. The small town’s air quality was superior. Just like their small courtyard which boasted two acres of land, housing two apricot trees and various types of vegetables planted by Grandpa. There was enough produce not just for the two of them, but also for their eldest daughter’s family. In addition to this, they also kept about a dozen rabbits, which was always unfortunate for the chickens whenever Finn visited.

“Don’t worry, Grandpa. This tea isn’t the same as the usual kind. It’s a wellness tea and has enormous benefits for Grandma’s condition. Besides, don’t worry; I’ll visit frequently,” Finn assured him.

“Alright, alright. Granpa doesn’t interfere much in your affairs. I don’t understand all these things anyway. But remember this, son, you need to hurry up with one thing,” Grandpa Lewis said, his beard twitching in anticipation.

“Er… Grandpa, don’t worry, I’ll definitely hurry,” Finn stuttered, but immediately agreed. He knew exactly what Grandpa was referring to. From the time he entered college, almost every year without fail, he’d heard it countless times. It boiled down to one thing: Grandpa wanted him to get married and start a family. Grandpa wanted to hold his great-grandson in his arms.

They stayed at their grandparents’ place for three days. Their hospitality towards Fishy Wells was unbelievable. Even though Finn had clarified that Fishy was only his assistant and an employee, that didn’t change their perception of her, especially when Grandma discovered Fishy was single.

Finn had given up, utterly helpless. He didn’t bother to correct them. In the end, he decided to respect their wishes. As their departure loomed, not only did he feel a pang of sadness, but his parents also felt sentimental, not having expected to leave this soon. Although his Grandpa held traditional views, he seemed to take the situation in stride.

“Eh, Finn, how much did this car cost? It’s really comfortable, much better than the one owned by the Zhang family,” Fay finally wondered aloud after they hit the highway, her curiosity piqued.

“Well, I have to entertain clients, so I had to buy a decent car. It’s definitely more expensive than their Great Wall vehicle,” Finn replied, avoiding mentioning the actual amount.

“Oh, but this car is really good looking. I’ve never heard of it though. Son, why didn’t you buy a Lanquoma? James’ son bought a Lanquoma A4. I heard it cost more than 300k yuan. A Lanquoma would have been grand,” Fay suggested.

Fishy, riding shotgun, was having a hard time holding in her laughter. This car could buy over 500 Lanquoma A4S. Finn did not dare to mention it, and naturally, she didn’t either..
