Chapter 1776 - 1862: Monkey’s Dad Calls
"This time your mom and I made a lot of dishes to sell. We sold them yesterday and made a good amount of money. I’ve just transferred it to your bank card. You shouldn’t be so frugal while you’re out there. Nowadays, you have to be willing to spend to court a girl!"Monkey’s father obviously didn’t know that Monkey already had a girlfriend by his side. He thought only Monkey was with Su Xuan. Su Xuan was nearby, and he didn’t mind, knowing that Su Xuan and his son had a very strong relationship.
"Dad..."
Monkey’s eyes were a little red at that moment. He thought about how he hadn’t been a very filial son. Even though he had earned a lot of money in recent years, it seemed his father still thought he was a poor guy.
"Uncle, you’re such a great father of Huaxia! I’ll help you apply for a Best Father’s Day award someday!"
Su Xuan joked.
"Get out of here, you cheeky brat. But Xuan, you’re flexible, help me keep an eye on Lei. These days, after a man turns thirty, it’s increasingly difficult to find a wife. Money isn’t the issue; Monkey’s mom and I are still strong. I’m planning to rent thirty acres next year and then buy a house in the city with Monkey!"
Su Xuan was also a bit moved. The familial affection in Huaxia is strong, something even foreigners envy.
"Uncle, actually Monkey is doing quite well financially!"
Su Xuan said softly.
"Xuan, it’s not easy for young people outside. I heard from Monkey’s cousin who works over at Honghai, saying Monkey earns five thousand a month there, but with five thousand over there, after rent, it only leaves about one or two thousand. So I thought I should help him these past few years. Alright, this call’s getting expensive; watch out for him and come over when you have time, I’ll treat you to some farmer’s eggs!"
After saying this, Monkey’s father hung up, leaving Su Xuan looking at Monkey, weakly asking.
"Five thousand a month. Hell, you earn more than five million a month, right? You’re too low-key!"
"Cough, cough... That was two years ago. You know, if I told him the watch I bought her cost a million, he might really think I robbed a bank!"
Deep down, Monkey was still very grateful to his parents. They sent him to college and still worried about his marriage.
"Yeah, if I were your dad, I wouldn’t believe it either. But it can’t go on like this!"
Su Xuan grinned mischievously.
"Monkey, your parents don’t know you’re a boss? I just heard they’re thinking of leasing thirty acres next year. Won’t that be too much for them?"
At this moment, Hou Qingyi was quite touched. This simple familial love made him feel even more affectionate towards Monkey. Monkey had told him before that he came from a poor background, and Qingyi thought maybe not poor, but definitely a working-class family. He also worried if Monkey’s parents wouldn’t accept him as their daughter-in-law, since his own family was quite poor.
But hearing this, he realized Monkey’s parents had no idea their son was already a big boss, sending money to him so he could get a wife.
"Sigh... Well, even though I graduated from Huaqing University, two years ago I was doing pretty badly until I met Su Xuan. That’s when my new life really started!"
Monkey looked gratefully at Su Xuan.
"Don’t be so dramatic. You became the boss because you earned it fair and square. Without you, the company wouldn’t be where it is today!"
Su Xuan smiled, and although his words were crude, Monkey felt happy because he knew Su Xuan said it for Hou Qingyi to understand that Monkey’s success wasn’t just about connections.
"Monkey, you can’t go on like this. Given the current situation, you definitely won’t be able to go home this New Year. With that big contract you’ve taken on, you’ll be swamped by then. If your dad rents those thirty acres next year, that’s going to put them through the wringer!"
"Sigh... What can I do? You know how my dad is. I tried telling him I was wealthy, but he accused me of bragging. I even sent a picture of my car to show him, and guess what? He sent me a picture of an airplane the size of a small bird in the sky, saying he bought it. What can I say?"
"Cough, cough... Alright then."
Su Xuan coughed. He knew Monkey’s father quite well.
"Isn’t it simple? Now that Qingyi is willing to be Monkey’s girlfriend, why don’t you take a few days off and go back? Your dad doesn’t believe you because you’ve never had a girlfriend. People in the countryside think not having a wife equals no success!"
Mengxue said with a smile.
"Yeah, that’s a good idea!"
Su Xuan quickly jumped on board!
"No way, I don’t have time!"
Monkey said awkwardly.
"Oh, come on, what can be more important than getting a wife? As your boss, I’m giving you three days off. Xue’er, want to come along? Monkey’s place is beautiful!"
Su Xuan said with a mischievous grin.
"Can I go? Ruobing expects me to report tomorrow!"
"No worries, I’ll talk to her. You’ll report three days later. Let’s go together and treat it as a post-natal visit!"
Su Xuan reached out and called Liu Ruobing. Upon learning that Su Xuan had granted Monkey and Xue Mengxue three days off, she almost reached through the phone to strangle him.
"Su Xuan, you’re so unreliable. Are you trying to wear me out?"
"Uh... Darling, don’t say that. I’m helping Monkey with his life’s major event. Rest assured, I’ll personally bring Monkey and Xue’er to you in three days, with wedding candies. And besides, didn’t we postpone Li Zhenyuan’s business? That old man won’t be back for at least three days to discuss business again, so no worries!"
"Hmmph... You’re unreliable. I’ll tell my dad you’re picking on me!"
Liu Ruobing pouted!
"Uh... No way. But aren’t your parents in Honghai too? Perfect, I’ll visit them in three days!"
Su Xuan realized he hadn’t seen his in-laws in two years.
"Yes, and they talk about you every day. Make sure you’re back in three days, or I can’t handle it!"
"No problem, I’ll be back in three days!"
Su Xuan happily hung up the phone. After hanging up, Monkey and Hou Qingyi looked at him with admiration, realizing that Xue Mengxue didn’t even seem jealous at all. Su Xuan truly had a great charm.
"Hou Qingyi, do you think you can take three days off?"
