My male god, your character has collapsed!

Chapter 353: Small Town Brahman

Zhou Yuwen was stuck in traffic on the highway all day today. To be honest, he was quite tired. His mother forced him to go to the study, which made Zhou Yuwen helpless. He smiled bitterly and said, "Mom, can't we talk about it tomorrow?"
But with such a big thing happening at home, the old couple were full of questions at the dinner table. They finally closed the door and talked among themselves, so how could they let Zhou Yuwen off so easily?

If Zhou Yuwen doesn’t explain everything clearly today, you won’t be able to sleep.

"What do you have to explain?"

Zhou Guobin's study was renovated in the past two years. Unlike commercial housing where the area can be calculated by counting on one's fingers, the advantage of a self-built house is that it is large enough. So although it is a study, it can be separated into an office area and a meeting area. Usually, Zhou Guobin would drink tea and smoke here.

Now Zhou Yuwen was sitting alone on a single-person mahogany sofa, while his parents were sitting on a multi-person sofa diagonally opposite. Facing Zhou Yuwen's question, the middle-aged couple first looked at each other.

Zhou Yuwen's mother, Yang Lirong, spoke first: "Tell me first, what's the matter with you writing a novel?"

There are only two biggest problems for the two of them now.

One is, I was just thinking about my son coming home from school, which should be a very simple thing, but how come he ended up driving a million-dollar luxury car and having several million in savings?
This matter must be explained clearly.

Also, what happened to that girl?

Zhou Yuwen said, isn't this something that anyone with a discerning eye can see? He has loved writing since he was a child. He didn't have time to write in high school, but now that he is in college, he must be doing something he loves.

And then it became popular accidentally.

"You made a few millions, right?" asked the mother.

"It's not several million, it's more than 10 million." Zhou Yuwen said lightly.

"More than a thousand!" The mother was almost scared to death.

My father is actually fine. In the first two years, there were very few cases worth over 10 million yuan that he handled. But in the past two years, he has become numb to them.

Our son has a promising future. In fact, as parents, we are quite proud of him. Especially when we were having dinner with relatives just now, one relative after another praised him sincerely, saying that Yu Wen has a promising future.

This is much better than bragging about yourself.

To be honest, half a year ago, the couple was quite worried about Zhou Yuwen. Their child's academic performance was not very good, and he could barely get into a second-tier university. The children of their colleagues in the unit were all from 985 and 211 universities, and some were admitted to the National University of Defense Technology, so they naturally gave them special treatment. As a result, Zhou Yuwen was admitted to an ordinary second-tier university, and the couple were embarrassed to hold a graduation banquet for him.

Now that their son has found his own way, they are relieved.

Yang Lirong kept asking Zhou Yuwen how much money he had and how he spent it.

Zhou Yuwen told the truth and said he bought a car.

Then he bought a villa in Jinling, a car worth more than one million yuan, and a house worth more than five million yuan.

And now, after all the preparations, there are about three million left.

"It's all in this card." Zhou Yuwen said, putting the prepared bank card on the coffee table. He had to give an explanation to his parents. The three million would be their pocket money.

After Zhou Yuwen finished explaining the matter, the old couple did not speak for a long time. After a long time, the mother could not help but stood up and hit Zhou Yuwen on the shoulder. She said, "You kid! Why didn't you tell me earlier about such a big thing?!"

Zhou Yuwen said, how can I explain this.

"You have to take back all the money, right?"

"Hey! I'm your mother, isn't it my duty to manage your money?!"

Although she was educating Zhou Yuwen, Yang Lirong had a smile on her face, and it was obvious that she was really happy.

She gave the start, but she couldn't be asked to ask all the questions, so she signaled Zhou Guobin to start speaking.

The family of three had actually been talking for more than ten minutes at this time, but Zhou Guobin had been very silent until now.

Zhou Guobin didn't know how to ask. He pondered for a moment, then took out half a pack of cigarettes from the chest pocket of his shirt. He took one and put it in his mouth. He seemed to remember something, then shook the cigarette box forward and asked Zhou Yuwen if he wanted one.
Zhou Yuwen quickly waved his hand and said, I don’t smoke.

"Oh." Zhou Guobin said dryly.

After thinking for a while, he took the cigarette out of his mouth.

"laugh!"

Seeing Zhou Guobin's behavior, Yang Lirong couldn't help but burst out laughing. She stood up and said, "You two can chat first. I'll go boil some water for you!"

After saying that, she stood up and left the study.

In fact, there is nothing much to talk about between the father and the son. Although Zhou Yuwen's parents are not divorced, he was actually raised by his mother. His father is busy with work all year round, and his job is basically not based locally. It is common for him to be out of town for ten days or half a month, so the relationship between the father and son is not close. After going to college, he doesn't go home for four months. To be honest, it is a bit awkward for him to be alone together suddenly.

After a long while, Zhou Guobin asked, "How did you get to know that girl?"

Zhou Yuwen said they were high school friends and then studied in the same university.

"Talking about friends?"

"Not really, just ordinary friends." Zhou Yuwen replied.

"Ah."

Zhou Guobin nodded.

In his previous life, when Zhou Yuwen brought Su Qing home, the situation was actually almost the same. He inquired about Su Qing's family situation and frowned slightly when he heard that it was a single-parent family, but there was nothing else he cared about.

In this life, Zhou Yuwen said they were just ordinary friends and didn’t even ask about their family.

I did add a comment, saying that the girl was very utilitarian and scheming, and did not seem like an eighteen-year-old girl.

Zhou Guobin and his wife also talked about this matter just now, and their words implied that they were worried that Zhou Yuwen would suffer a loss.

The main reason is that the girl is too pretty, and under normal circumstances, I can’t even look down on Zhou Yuwen.

It’s a good thing that my son is making money by writing novels.

But think about it from another perspective, is this girl here for my son's money?

You know, the gifts she gave to the couple were all to their liking. If she didn't have a purpose, how could she have liking them?

He originally wanted to have a good talk with Zhou Yuwen, but Zhou Yuwen said they were just ordinary friends. Zhou Guobin didn't know what to say. He could only tell Zhou Yuwen that people outside were evil and he shouldn't be too aggressive.

"It's a good thing that you can make money by writing novels. Your mother and I are proud of you. But there is a saying that goes, 'Pride brings harm, humility brings benefit, and excessive pride brings loss.' Take the car you bought for example."

At first, seeing that his son didn't smoke, Zhou Guobin didn't want to smoke either, but as the topic turned to conversation, Zhou Guobin couldn't help but light a cigarette and continued chatting with Zhou Yuwen.

Buying a car is a good thing.

Now that you have grown up, I will support you in buying a car.

But there is really no need to buy a car worth more than one million right away.

Zhou Yuwen thought to himself that he didn't buy anything worth more than one million yuan when he came here. He bought a sports car worth seven or eight hundred thousand yuan.

Zhou Yuwen didn't say this.

I just listened to my father's teachings obediently.

Yang Lirong walked in with tea. From a distance, she heard Zhou Guobin say, "Look at your cousin Xiaoyong. He is already 26 years old, and the only thing he wants to buy when buying a car is a used car worth or yuan to practice."

"You bought a house worth more than one million right away. How will other families view us?"

Yang Lirong became unhappy after hearing this. Why couldn’t she watch it?
"How can your eldest nephew compare with my son?"

Yang Lirong directly hit back at Zhou Guobin with one sentence. Zhou Guobin had just found some feeling, but he was speechless after hearing this, saying that I was educating my son.

"Why do you teach your son to mention your nephew? Can their situations be the same?"

"When he went abroad, he borrowed 100,000 yuan from our family and didn't even bother to pay it back. Now he wants to buy a car. Oh, he's your son?"

Zhou Guobin didn't care about this small amount of money. After all, his aunt was his sister. She must have loved him a lot when he was a child. Just by telling him a few stories from their childhood, Zhou Guobin naturally gave her the money.

But Yang Lirong is different.

That's our family's money!
You gave the money you left for your son to outsiders?
"My son bought a car with his own money. It takes his own ability to decide how much he spent on it. But your nephew is amazing. He studied abroad and came back. So why don't you let him buy one himself? Why does he need our sponsorship?" Yang Lirong had been brooding over this matter for a long time, and she took this opportunity to speak it out.

Zhou Guobin looked unhappy after hearing this, and said with a look of disgust: "Why are you acting like a shrew? What do you mean by calling me your son? Watch your attitude."

"Humph!" Yang Lirong disagreed. She said to Zhou Yuwen, "Son, it's a good buy. Mom supports you. One day, I will drive your car around the company and let my colleagues envy me!"

After hearing this, Zhou Guobin couldn't sit still and said, "Yang Lirong, don't do this!"

"Why are you doing this so recklessly? I'm driving my son's car, is there any problem with that?" Yang Lirong asked.

Zhou Guobin was almost angry and thought, how can you be the same?

This is the downside of a small county town. Even if Zhou Yuwen drives a luxury car and lives in a villa in Jinling, it won't be a big deal.

But if this happens in your own home, something will suddenly become a big deal.

Therefore, Zhou Guobin has always emphasized the need to keep a low profile.

It’s best not to drive this car around.

Yang Lirong said that Zhou Guobin was just pretending. He was just a small official, so who would care about him? Don’t the children of your leaders also drive around in cars worth four or five hundred thousand yuan?

Yes, the child of our leader is thirty years old and still drives a car worth four or five hundred thousand yuan.

You, a college student, drive a car worth more than one million dollars.

It's not allowed anyway.

Yang Lirong argued with Zhou Guobin.

Then the two of them started bickering. It couldn't be called a quarrel, they were just arguing. The voices were a bit loud, so Zhou Yuwen got annoyed. After listening for a while, he started covering his ears and said, "Okay, okay, keep arguing. I can't stand it anymore."

"I'm going back to sleep."

Seeing Zhou Yuwen was about to leave, the two of them were quiet for a while, and Yang Lirong even said, "Hey, son, drink some water!"
Zhou Yuwen waved his hand and left the room.

After Zhou Yuwen left, his parents calmed down and watched his back as he left.

With some emotion, Yang Lirong said: "My son has really grown up."

Zhou Guobin nodded, but didn't seem very happy.

Yang Lirong asked Zhou Guobin in confusion if he had something on his mind?

Zhou Guobin said that he has grown up.

"It just feels weird."

"Strange? What's strange about it?"

Zhou Guobin said: "He doesn't feel like my son anymore."

Yang Lirong laughed when she heard this and said, "He's not your son, isn't he? Zhou Guobin, what do you mean? "

Yang Lirong reacted immediately.

"No, no!" Zhou Guobin also realized that his words were not rigorous enough. He said that he did not mean that. He just felt that Zhou Yuwen had changed a lot after being away for four months.

"I know for sure it's my son!"

"Is change bad? Children have to grow up eventually."

Zhou Guobin sighed and said, yes, children will grow up eventually.

Just as the couple was sighing, Zhou Yuwen returned to his room which he had been away from for a long time.

Fortunately, the memories of my previous life are still there and I can find my room.

Zhou Yuwen's room is on the second floor, above the living room. It is about 30 square meters and quite cozy. When he entered the room again, long-lost memories flooded into his mind. At this moment, he felt that everything in front of him was so familiar. He hadn't been to this room for five or six years.

Zhou Yuwen's family is really a good family in a small city.

His room was also better than other children's. In the bookcase, there were all kinds of books, such as "The True Story of A Shuai", "Stealing the Stars in September", "Comic Patty", "Dragon Tribe" and "Douluo Dalu".

And so on, these are all books that you read in junior high or high school.

Looking at these things again from the perspective of later generations will really make me feel a kind of inexplicable nostalgia. Now when I take them out and look at them, I still feel that they are interesting.

Zhou Yuwen took out his mobile phone, but found that countless people had already sent him messages. The first one he clicked was naturally Su Qing.

She asked Zhou Yuwen if he had arrived home.

"Zhou Yuwen, my mother likes you very much." Su Qing happily told Zhou Yuwen about this.

Zhou Yuwen couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and he leaned against the balcony window.

Yes, Zhou Yuwen’s bedroom also has a small balcony.

Zhou Yuwen said: "It's over, my parents don't seem to like you very much."

"???"

Upon hearing the news, Su Qing responded immediately and asked Zhou Yuwen what was going on.
Zhou Yuwen said: "I told you a long time ago that some things are best left as they are, but you refused to listen. Even though the gifts you gave them are what they like, they will think you are being too calculating."

"Ah? What should I do, husband?" Su Qing immediately looked pitiful.

Zhou Yuwen said, what can I do? It's your fault for not listening to me.

"I was wrong, husband (poor man),"

"I'll listen to you from now on."

Zhou Yuwen secretly laughed at her like this.

Leaning on the balcony, Zhou Yuwen discovered that his cousin actually walked out from the stairs in the yard.

Zhou Yuwen and his parents lived in the main house, while Lu Wanting lived on the second floor of the side house, which was diagonally opposite Zhou Yuwen's house.

After Peng Xiaoyong came out, he noticed Zhou Yuwen on the second floor.

Zhou Yuwen greeted him and called him cousin.

"Cousin, are you going home? Aren't you staying here tonight?"
