Chapter 439 Reflections on the Future

Looking at Lin Yan in his sister-in-law's arms, Lin Ping said, "Brother, are you willing to watch Lin Yan try his best but still end up poor?"

Parents don't understand these principles.

But Lin Gang remained silent.

Ye Lian said, "Where did you hear this nonsense from? Don't talk nonsense."

“I’m not making this up, Mother. You haven’t read many books, so you don’t know. Every dynasty is actually the same. In the early days of a dynasty, most people are about the same, poor people. But those who seize the opportunity quickly become rich.”

The money of the wealthy grows exponentially, like interest compounding. Twenty percent of the people quickly reap eighty percent of the wealth. The remaining eighty percent can only share two percent of the wealth.

What's even more frightening is that this proportion will become increasingly severe, gradually approaching 2% to 98%. We still have a chance to succeed now, but once class distinctions become clear, it will be harder than climbing to heaven for our next generation to succeed.

After a long explanation, Ye Lian and Lin Dawei only vaguely understood, but Lin Gang did understand.

He can stay in his hometown to take care of his parents and inherit their small plot of land. But what about his son? Does he really intend for his son to inherit their small plot of land as well?

If he hadn't been so uneducated, or if he hadn't been so limited in his abilities, wouldn't he have wanted to develop his career in a big city like his younger siblings?

That night, Lin Gang hesitated for a long time and couldn't fall asleep, tossing and turning.

The next morning, he asked his wife, "What do you think about us moving to the south of the city?"

Chen Xia said, "I can't make decisions on such important matters. I'll just listen to you."

Lin Gang: "..." His wife doesn't make decisions.

"Are you willing to leave your hometown?"

Just as Chen Xia was about to speak, Lin Gang said again, "Ignore everyone else and just tell me what's on your mind."

The words that were about to come out were swallowed back. After hesitating for a moment, Chen Xia said, "Where we go doesn't matter, as long as our family is together."

She looked down at the sleeping child and said, "What my brother said makes some sense. If we could have the opportunity to raise him like a city kid, wouldn't he be able to avoid many detours in the future? Wouldn't he not have to rely on farming to make a living?"

Lin Gang nodded. "So, you're also willing to leave your hometown?"

"Why wouldn't I want to? With my parents like that... it's best to stay far away from them."

Lin Gang understood.

After a night of internal struggle, and having learned what his wife was thinking, he had made up his mind.

However, before leaving, Lin Ping still didn't completely rule out the possibility of a no-brainer.

"I'll think about it carefully."

Ultimately, no one said anything to kill the deal. Lin Ping laughed and said, "Okay, then remember to think about it quickly. My sister said that transportation is very profitable now. Didn't you used to drive a coal truck in the coal mine? It should be easy for you to get your driver's license."

Lin Gang nodded. "Alright, I understand. Go on your way and be careful on the road."

"Okay, Mother, elder brother, sister-in-law, I'm leaving."

Lin Ping and Lin Dawei carried two large bags out the door.

Ye Lian asked Lin Ping to take the things to Lin Yuyao. Lin Ping couldn't carry them all by himself, so Lin Dawei planned to help him carry one bag and deliver it to the airport.

After they had disappeared from sight, Ye Lian sighed and said, "Lin Gang, as long as you can make money, you can go anywhere, we will support you."

"Mother, what will you and Father do if the three of us go far away?"

"What are you saying? Your father and I are only in our forties, in the prime of our lives. Do you think we can't live without you?"

"There's so much land at home..."

“What’s this? Your dad and I can finish this little bit of land in a few days. We don’t work every day, we only work a few days a year.”

Lin Gang pursed his lips, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Ye Lian continued, "I'll give you ten years. Within ten years, your father and I will be no worse than young men in their twenties. After ten years, if you have the ability, you can bring us to the city to enjoy a comfortable life. If you don't have the ability and can't make a name for yourself in ten years, then you can come back to farm."

Lin Gang nodded, then looked at his wife, Chen Xia.

Chen Xia said, "The child is still young, and my health isn't good either, so I definitely can't go with you. You go first, and once you've settled down, if conditions allow, my parents and I will come to join you."

Lin Gang thought in silence for a while before sighing and saying, "Alright, then we'll discuss it properly when Dad comes back later."

"Row."

……

Lin Yuyao calculated that it was about time to go to the airport to pick up Lin Ping.

From afar, I saw him looking around, looking rather disheveled, carrying two large bags.

Lin Yuyao waved at him for a while before he finally spotted her.

Lin Ping struggled to carry the luggage over, complaining, "Sis, what are you doing here? I've been looking for you for ages."

Lin Yuyao: “…”

"You have the nerve to say that? I've been waving my hand for ages, where have your eyes been looking? Lin Ping, I'm not trying to be mean, but how did you even get into military academy with eyes like that?"

"Hey, you're the one who's criticizing me? Why don't you stand in a more conspicuous spot?"

"Am I not conspicuous? I'm just standing on the side of the road."

"But you were dressed all in black, and you're short, and you were backlit. From a distance, you just looked like a dark blob. How could I possibly tell it was you?"

Lin Yuyao: "..." This is a bit insulting. How can she be short and dark-skinned?

"I think you're the one who's all black."

Lin Yuyao opened the suitcase impatiently and told him to hurry up and stuff the luggage inside.

As a result, the two bags weren't enough, so they had to put one of them on the back seat.

Lin Yuyao said, "Doesn't your school provide everything? Why did you bring so much luggage from home?"

"What do you mean by my luggage? My luggage is just this whole outfit I'm wearing from head to toe, and it's all yours, okay?"

"mine?"

"What else? My parents said they're all for our daughter, for our in-laws."

Lin Yuyao: “…”

"Why are there so many? What are they all?"

"You'll see when you get back."

He took Lin Ping straight home, and then carried the things his parents had asked him to bring upstairs.

I opened it and took a look; most of the items were food.

Some dried mushrooms, dried bamboo shoots, etc. from the mountains.

There were also some dried wild game, dried meat made by my mother, and pickled mustard greens that she liked to eat...

It tastes just like home.

There were also two glass jars, each containing a small honeycomb.

Lin Ping said, "Dad knows you like to eat this, so he went to the mountains to find it and has been keeping it in this jar for you."

Lin Yuyao was deeply moved, and pointed to a large bag, saying, "What's this? They even brought me a quilt."

"It's not a blanket, but it's close enough."

Lin Ping opened it and showed it to her. "Look, this is mulberry silk. This is from the silkworms that Mom raised herself last year. I gave a big bag to my eldest brother and sister-in-law, and to you and brother-in-law. They made quilts for them and told you to take them and find someone to make whatever you want."
