章節 19: Chapter 19: If you don't bring a partner home for the Spring Festival, you're not even allowed to enter the house.
After meeting Suri Drew, he hadn't smoked since.
He had simply been too busy these past few days, too engrossed to even think about smoking.
With such a beautiful wife, who had time to think about smoking.
After finishing a cigarette, Yigol Novak took out his cellphone, looking for his mother's number.
He felt that it was time to let his parents know that he was now a wealthy man who could give them a comfortable life and that he had married a beautiful wife.
But he hesitated a bit because he sensed that Suri's attitude towards him had changed a lot, but strictly speaking, they had only been together for three days.
If his parents knew about this and the result wasn't as perfect as they imagined, would his parents be unable to accept it?
Moreover, Suri hadn't told her parents either, and he wasn't sure about what Suri was thinking.
Actually, they did not have any substantial relationship yet, apart from those two marriage certificates, and their so-called husband and wife titles.
Although Suri kept calling him "husband," they were still living together, but at most, this was just ambiguity.
They hadn't even held hands, kissed, or done any of the common things couples do. They were not even comparable to a regular couple.
Describing their relationship as fragile as a snap of the fingers was not an exaggeration.
"Ah, it seems that I need to strive harder so I can take her to meet my parents sooner." Murmuring to himself, Yigol transferred tens of thousands of dollars into the account he used to send money to his parents.
Before, Yigol would transfer one or two thousand dollars, once every four or five months.
When he sent the money back, his parents didn't spend a cent. They said they wanted to save it for him. Yigol didn't object. He did as his parents wished just to put their minds at ease.
The large amount he transferred this time was intentional, aimed at drawing his parents' attention and slowly letting them know about his wealth, lest telling them all at once might shock them.
After Yigol finished the transaction and was about to ride his electromobile away, his cellphone suddenly rang. He could tell by the ringtone that it was his mother calling.
"What's going on? Why did you send so much money back?" His mother asked in astonishment as soon as the call connected.
This much money was undoubtedly a huge sum for their poor family.
"I didn't have much use for it, so I just sent it back. It was just the money I had saved before. I've been working for so long. It's normal to have some money, right?" Yigol replied casually.
At this moment, he couldn't discuss the house in detail with his parents. If he were to mention the house, he would inevitably have to mention Suri, and his relationship with Suri was not suitable to discuss with his parents yet.
In any case, even if he gave his parents a lot of money, they still wouldn't spend it. It made little difference whether or not they disclosed everything.
He really wanted to be filial to his parents, but he had to take it slow.
Although Yigol's parents were from the countryside, they were not bumpkins. If he brought up the topic, he would have to explain it clearly. Otherwise, his parents would not be easily fooled.
"Alright, it's a good thing that you're saving money," his mother replied without thinking too much about it. Yigol could indeed save tens of thousands dollars if he wanted to.
"You are not getting any younger. You need to know how to run a household. By the way, have you found a partner out there? If you have, hurry up and bring them back for us to see."
Upon hearing his mother urging him to find a partner, Yigol couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time.
This topic always came up during their phone calls.
Before, he would feel very frustrated.
But this time, he didn't feel that way. Instead, he silently smiled.
He really wanted to tell his mother, but he held back in the end. Given his parents' personality, if they knew about Suri's existence, they would either demand that he bring her home or come over to meet Suri the very next day.
"Okay, okay, don't worry. The moment I have a partner, I'll bring them back to meet you, alright?" Yigol promised, "During the New Year, I'll definitely bring my partner back."
Yigol thought for a moment. There were still several months left until the New Year. If he and Suri reached a positive result in their relationship by then, taking her to meet his parents wouldn't be a problem.
"Alright, alright. Remember, you said this. If you don't bring someone back for the New Year, we won't even let you in the door."
"Ah, I almost forgot the main point."
"What is it?" Yigol asked curiously, riding his electromobile casually in a graceful manner.
Of course, anything that could be forgotten by his mother wouldn't be a big deal.
"It's like this. One of your cousins wants to go to work too. She's not young anymore and can't stay at home all her life. We're not very comfortable with her going out alone, knowing the two of them have no experience."
"You know your cousin. She hasn't suffered much hardship. So, I was thinking, why not let her stay with you for a while? You can take care of her, and she can gradually adapt to society."
"Lazing around at home all day isn't the solution." His mother said with a negotiating tone.
Yigol was a simple man who didn't like trouble. His mother knew this.
It was because Yigol was simple and straightforward, not getting involved in any controversies, that his family trusted him so much.
Speaking of this cousin, Yigol had to think for quite a while before remembering her.
He had met this cousin several times when he visited his maternal grandmother's home, but they couldn't even hold a conversation.'
This cousin was probably five or six years younger than him, and they had nothing in common during their brief encounters.
Apart from being related, the two had no interaction. The number of times they had spoken could be counted on one hand.
"Mom, shouldn't she be going to high school now?" Yigol asked, puzzled.
"Yes, but she doesn't want to continue school and has been staying at home, doing nothing."
"How old is she?" Yigol asked.
"Seventeen, I think." His mother replied, "The main problem is your uncle's family situation. You know what they're like. They're definitely focusing on your cousin. Your cousin is their daughter, sigh."
Having said that, Yigol naturally understood.
She didn't want to go to school or work. Such a big girl should be in school learning, not lazing around at home.'
Sigh, if only he could have triggered the System earlier and gotten rich sooner...
"Alright, I get it. Let her come." Yigol agreed, thinking that he would observe her after her arrival to see what her actual intentions were.
If she was willing to go to school, Yigol would let her. If she wanted to learn any skills, he would agree to that too.
As for work, that was definitely out of the question. What could such a young girl earn?
"Alright, son, thank you." His mother sighed in relief.
"Mom, you're so formal."
"Whether she works or not is secondary. What our relatives really want is for you to take care of her. She has been giving them a lot of headaches. You don't have to worry about her expenses. Just manage her well."
