Chapter 154: Chapter 150: The Journey!

“Mom, didn’t you agree to leave with me this morning? How come you’ve changed your mind after a nap? I’m something of a billionaire, yet you’re still farming in the countryside? Doesn’t this make people look down on me? Furthermore, I swore back when I was in school that I would never let you guys work another day in this field once I could support you. You work yourselves to the bone for a year, and you don’t earn much money. At this rate, you’ll wear yourselves out.” Finn Lewis became a bit anxious.

“Don’t be in a hurry. Your father and I do want to leave this village, but we’ve thought about it, and we’re not going to go to Celeston City with you anymore. We can go to Hello City, where your aunt, uncle, grandparents, and your second aunt live. We can look out for each other there, visit them when we have nothing to do, and not be bored at home.” Fay Wells quickly said.

Going to Hello City stunned Finn Lewis for a moment. He started considering this option, which could work, just as his mom had said. Most of her seven siblings were in Hello City, where the annual income was higher than in the countryside, even though most of them worked low-wage jobs.

Moreover, rural life was simply too exhausting. The Lewis family owned a fair bit of land, and his parents had to work more than fifty acres with just their two pairs of hands, even though they had some machines to help. But when it was the busy season, they could work themselves to death.

When Finn Lewis was in junior and high school, he would help out during the holidays. Even a few days of work had been tiring enough; he couldn’t imagine how his parents managed to work like that all year round.

“There’s no need for me and your father to follow you to Celeston City, Finn. When you’re there, you have to mind the company every day. We don’t understand a thing about this. We know that young lady was trying to convince us to leave. If we really moved to Celeston City, we would be strangers there, struggling with the weather and the unfamiliar pace of life. Plus, your paternal and maternal grandparents are getting old. Being closer here means we can take care of them if something comes up,” Hazel Lewis said after taking a puff from his cigarette.

“Alright, Hello City it is.” After a moment of thought, Finn Lewis didn’t object. Going to Celeston City would make taking care of his parents difficult. It would be no problem if they lived with him, but he wouldn’t be able to hide the fact that he hired Fishy Wells for a while longer. Dripping beans, indeed.

Finn Lewis knew his own situation, but his parents didn’t. Going to Hello City would be good, as it would gradually expose them to the changes and make it easier to accept. It would be very hard to make them accept everything at once.

“However, once we leave, you have to leave as well. I know you don’t want to leave your crops that you’ve tended to for half a year, wanting to gather it all before leaving. You can get people to do the harvesting, otherwise, you have to go to Celeston City with me.” Finn quickly said.

Finn had noticed something bothering his mother earlier, and guessed that it was the crops. After all, they had been toiling for half a year, and it was almost time to gather the crops. Of course, it would be hard to just hand over the fruits of their labor.

“Fine, what you say goes.” Seeing Finn’s firm stance, his mother had to grudgingly agree.

“Alright, let’s settle our schedules then. Dad, Mom, both of you go find my third uncle tonight, and let him manage our house since we’re leaving. In a few days, you’ll come with us to Hello City, we’ll go see my eldest aunt and her family, settle you guys in, and then I’ll head back to Celeston City.” Finn quickly arranged everything.

At night, Finn’s parents invited Aiden Kramer, his third uncle, to their house. When Finn’s family explained the situation, Aiden looks at Finn with astonishment, “Are you guys kidding me?”

“Of course we’re not. You know I’ve always been a good student since I was a kid.” Finn quickly said.

“This…Great news! I didn’t expect you to have such a bright future, kid. Now that you’re a tycoon, do you have any plans for letting our entire village become wealthy?” Aiden joked, laughing.

I actually do…Finn added silently in his mind, but figured it was too early to say this out loud, “Didn’t expect you to be such a dedicated village chief, uncle!” Finn said with a laugh.

“What are you saying, child.” Fay Wells couldn’t help but knock on Finn’s head.

“No harm done, this kid has always been smart. Alright, this is good news, you guys can go in peace, leave everything to me.”

“Uncle, you have lots of land as well, and two people can’t harvest all of this land. How about this, I’ll leave you 100,000 yuan, you hire someone to help take care of the work in our fields.” Finn quickly said.

“That’s too much, too much…” Aiden was startled, hastily waved his hand in denial.

“I don’t know how much is needed, but at least half a year’s care is needed, as well as taking care of the sheep and other livestock at home. Use what you need, and take the rest as payment for your hard work.” Finn said.

“I’m just lending a hand, you can’t count it like this.” How much is 100,000 yuan? Maybe it meant nothing to Finn now, but for a rural family, it was almost equivalent to their annual income. This was onlv Dossible due to the recent surge in agricultural product prices; in the past, earning over 10,000 yuan a year was considered good.

“Please don’t refuse, you deserve this. Born and raised in the countryside, I know how troublesome these things can be. With my uncles and aunts all away, we’ve had to trouble you quite a bit.” Even though it was a distant relative, family was family, and Aiden as the village chief had been looking out for them over the years. Most people in remote areas like this didn’t want to be the village chief. These decades, Aiden’s family had been pretty good; of course, Finn wouldn’t be stingy. After refusing a few times and still being persuaded, Aiden reluctantly accepted. They discussed the details of their future plans, then they sent off a joyous Aiden.

After Aiden was sent off into the distance, Fay Wells couldn’t help herself but smack Finn hard on the head, “Did your money come from strong winds?”

Finn wanted to say, “Mom, it’s not from strong winds but it’s pretty close. It’s from a single order of your son,” but of course, he didn’t dare to say it out loud, instead laughing, “Mom, don’t be stingy! I know when you’re trying to save money, but I didn’t give it to Uncle Aiden for nothing. You know how much work we have at home, it’ll be at least three or four months until the slack season. And we have more than twenty sheep and pack animals that need to be tended to.. Can’t just let the hired help do all the work for free, right?”
