my dream space

Chapter 383 We Can't Choose Our Parents
We cannot choose our parents.

Xia Kun's attitude towards his father has always been very subtle. His father Xia Xingliang is like a remnant of Feng Jian's patriarchal system. He has always been unshakable at home. He devotes himself wholeheartedly to his fish pond business, always eager to one day be able to Xianyu turned over, and his care for his children was extremely limited.

It is also due to the influence of such a family environment that before obtaining the dream space system, Xia Kun has been immersed in his studies in order not to help his father, continue his fish pond business, and live in the small mountain village of Zhulin Township all his life.

In fact, he did not expect that he would achieve financial independence so quickly. If not, he might still be facing the crisis of dropping out of school now.

The two returned home. After a long morning of traveling and traveling, Xia Ke sat on the sofa and thought about what had just happened. "Brother...where did you get so much money? It's not because of your ability..." "

"You don't have to worry." Xia Kun said lightly, "I got it through regular channels... It was almost all of my savings just now."

"So..." Xia Ke sighed silently, "According to what the person said just now, our family probably owes a lot of money this time... I really convinced my dad, and it was hard to rely on you, brother. The debt is paid, and now—"

"Don't worry about these things, take a good rest for the winter vacation, and I'll talk to Dad about it."

Xia Kun's parents came back from the outside in the afternoon and evening, and the expressions of the two were also tired. Only when they saw their children, Xia Kun's mother's face was a little happy, "Come on, Akun... let mom see Look—are you still used to it in the imperial capital? It looks very energetic..."

"When did you come back?"

"noon."

"Did you eat it yourself?"

"I cooked noodles with Ake."

"Oh... let's rest first and eat early tonight."

Father Xia Xingliang's expression was much duller than before, and his face was also very gray. He was no longer bossy like before, and his son's pride in being admitted to the county's first prize has now been completely exhausted by him.

Originally, Xia Ke was holding back her anger at her father, seeing that he seemed to have aged nearly ten years in half a year, but suddenly she swallowed the words again, not knowing what to say.

"By the way... When you come back this afternoon, is there anyone looking for me?"

"An unfamiliar uncle came to collect debts. He was bald and wearing black-rimmed glasses." Xia Kun said calmly, "I paid back part of the money to him."

Xia Kun's parents were stunned when they heard this - they wanted to keep it a secret, but it seemed unrealistic.

"You paid him back? Where did you get the money?"

"The work-study program saves, as well as part-time jobs and scholarships." Xia Kun said.

"How much did you give?"

"Twenty thousand." Xia Kun replied, "All the savings I saved last semester."

"With so much money, why don't you discuss it with your family?!"

"My brother earned the money himself, why should he discuss it with you!" Xia Ke was still angry, "Did you ever give him a penny for living expenses?!"

"I'm talking to your brother! Stop interrupting," Xia Xingliang yelled at Xia Ke, "Go back to the room, I'll talk to your brother."

"Hmph!" Xia Ke didn't want to talk to her father for a long time. The only reason she stayed here was because she was afraid that he would try to drain her brother's wallet again.

But she was still taken away by her mother, and Xia Xingliang and Xia Kun are the only ones in the living room now.

"How much do you still owe outside?"

"You don't need to worry about this, I'll figure it out myself." Xia Xingliang lit a cigarette, as if he was thinking about something.At last he spoke,

"Tell me honestly, where did your 2 yuan come from? The price of goods in the imperial capital is so high, and your monthly living allowance is only 600. I don't believe you can save so much. Our Xia family can be poor, but we have always done well." Sit upright, and never walk in crooked ways."

Xia Kun is still at the age of studying, and there are many college students in Zhulin Township. It is very rare for him to save tens of thousands of yuan to go home while studying without a penny at home. It is simply unbelievable.

"You can earn 1500 per month from the work-study program. The salary for part-time work is variable. You can get 2000 to 4000 a month. The scholarship is 12000 at the end of the year," Xia Kun said. "I also applied for a scholarship, which is 4000 per semester. Although the prices in the imperial capital are very expensive , but the school cafeteria is okay.”

Xia Kun made a big deal about his source of income, even if Xia Xingliang didn't believe it at first, he really believed it. He hesitated for a while, and then said in a daze, "Don't...don't try too hard. You mainly study in college, don't worry about it. Spend your time in side ways, don’t go to work, there are many scammers in big cities, if you enter the boat shop, you will be finished.”

This is... caring about him, right?

Xia Kun nodded and gave a soft "hmm".

"What's the situation with the fish pond? Why does the village want to take back the newly contracted fish pond?"

Xia Xingliang shook his head, "It's useless... There's no reason for this."

Zhulin Township is just a small village, and the affairs in the village are often not so formal. At the beginning, Xia Xingliang expanded the scale of farming in high spirits, and spent hundreds of thousands to buy fish ponds from private hands. Those fish ponds have been raised by the other party for more than ten years. The books related to the proof of ownership have long been lost, but the fish pond is considered a relatively remote place, so Xia Xingliang didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He signed a contract privately with the other party and it was over; as a result, news of the construction of the high-speed rail was reported at the end of October. The thing is, the fish pond happened to fall on the planned route of the high-speed rail.

If the normal process is followed, then the landfill should be filled and the compensation should be compensated.

However, there is no relevant ownership certificate for the fish pond, so there is no way to prove that the fish pond is private property and not built illegally.

Xia Xingliang and his wife visited the township and county leaders everywhere, but they still couldn't get the compensation, and it was impossible to find the private contracted before to recover the money, so this matter has been left here. This is the GJ project. This is not an ordinary demolition project, the construction period is sacred and must not be delayed, so Xia Xingliang's fish pond was quickly filled in, which also made his 30 investment in the second half of the year worthless.

At first glance, this incident sounded like it was just Xia Xingliang's bad luck, but it was also related to his lack of attention.Xia Kun's family was already in debt. Relatives and friends all looked at the Xia family except for the number one scholar, so they borrowed money from Xia Xingliang in order to save their reputation. Who knew that it would be like this again this time? Xia Xingliang was filled with regret now. .

Xia Xingliang was smoking cigarettes one by one. Xia Kun saw the dimples on his face and the scars from the wind and sun, and suddenly felt his father's old age truly.

"Stop smoking, your health is not good."

"Son." Xia Xingliang extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand and sighed sadly, "You have read so many books, do you think there are really people in this world who are born poor and will never be able to turn over in their lifetime? ?”

Xia Kun's heart suddenly tightened.
