Chapter 88 Confession
money!
In the end, Lin Dong learned the real reason from his mother, a reason he never dreamed of.

That's right, it's money!

In today's society, getting married has become a very luxurious thing.

Take their third-tier small city of Ning'an as an example. The minimum wedding gift is 8000 yuan, and the house price has already risen to about 80 per square meter. A small apartment of 60 square meters with two bedrooms and one living room costs more than [-] yuan.

In the end, the various costs of holding the wedding are also around 80 yuan. If all of this is calculated, the total cost of the wedding will be at least more than [-] yuan.

Lin Dong's family is just an ordinary family, not considered rich. His father worked hard for most of his life, and he only saved less than 80 yuan, barely enough for one child's wedding expenses.

However, their family has two children!

Lin Dong knows that in some respects, parents' thinking is still very traditional, such as the important matters of children's marriage.

In their view, that is the responsibility that parents must undertake, and they will never pass this burden on to their children.

This sounds like some old-fashioned thinking, just like they think that finding a job pragmatically and living a down-to-earth life is the best life choice.

Thinking of this, Lin Dong finally understood why there was no smile on his parents' faces even though it was a great happy event.

Because they found that even though they lived frugally for most of their lives, they were still unable to help their two children complete the life event of getting married.

Now that the eldest son's marriage has been settled, they are naturally very happy in their hearts, but at the same time they are also very worried.

After all, the marriage expenses they can afford are only once, but the two children are their hearts and minds, and they don't want to deliberately favor anyone.

But if the eldest son is married first, what should the second son do in the future?

So, they have been struggling with these all the time, and have been worrying about it.

After trying to understand the reason, Lin Dong looked up at his parents and found that their temples had gray hair.

It turned out that before he was aware of it, his parents were getting old.

"Mom, it's a good thing that my brother is getting engaged! You should be happy."

Lin Dong secretly blamed himself for neglecting his parents, but said with a smile on his face: "And I also have some good news to tell you, which happens to be a double happiness."

"What good news do you have?" Mother Lin looked at Lin Dong and asked.

"I have resigned from my original company and now I am running a high-end ornamental fish business with my friends."

"What? You resigned!"

Hearing Lin Dong's words, Father Lin immediately shouted angrily.

When he asked Lin Dong about his job just now, Lin Dong told him that it was fine.

"Ah."

From childhood to adulthood, Father Lin has always been a strict father in Lin Dong's eyes, and he was often beaten by his father when he was young.

Even now, when he sees his father staring, he still feels embarrassed.

But at this moment, he nodded without the slightest fear.

After learning that his parents are worrying about money at the moment, Lin Dong has changed his mind and no longer intends to hide his business.

It doesn't matter even if your parents don't understand, even if you get scolded, at least it will save your parents from worrying about money.

In his opinion, this is enough.

"Don't do a good job, what do you want to do!"

Seeing that Lin Dong admitted it so frankly, Father Lin slammed the table hard and shouted.

"Okay! The child just came back, can't you say something well? Why lose your temper!"

Seeing Lin's father who lost his temper, Lin's mother immediately glared at him.

Then, he turned to Lin Dong and asked, "Xiaodong, what happened? Didn't you have a good job? Why did you resign?"

"Nothing happened."

Lin Dong shook his head and explained: "It's a classmate of mine whose family is in the ornamental fish business. We had a good relationship when we were in college. After graduation, he plans to help me and invite me to partner in the ornamental fish business.

I thought the prospect of this line of work was very good, so I resigned and worked with him. "

"Business requires capital, where did you get the money?"

Father Lin still asked with a bad face.

"Yup!"

Mother Lin immediately echoed: "Where did you get the money to do business with others? Could it be that you were cheated?"

"Mom, I'm poor and white, what is there to be deceived by others!"

Lin Dong smiled wryly and said, "He wanted to help me because of his friendship with the university for many years. He paid for all the capital, and I just contributed."

"Then is this business reliable?"

Mother Lin still asked worriedly: "Even if you don't need to pay the capital, don't end up with nothing and waste a few years in vain."

"It's very reliable. Their family has been in this business for more than ten years."

Lin Dong immediately nodded and said, "There is no lack of channels for purchasing and selling. Now we not only have our own aquarium store, but also opened a small fishing ground.

Our net profit reached 2 yuan last month. Although I only accounted for a small portion, I was able to get more than [-] yuan. "

Hearing Lin Dong's words, Father Lin opened his mouth to speak, but was stopped by Mother Lin's eyes.

Then, he said to Lin Dong: "It's good to be reliable, come on, let's eat quickly! The food should be cold in a while."

"Ah."

……

In the evening, in the bedroom.

"This kid, after several years of studying abroad, he has learned to lie to his family!"

Father Lin was still angry and said, then turned to Mother Lin and said, "And you, why did you stop me at lunch?"

"Why did you say you were stopped?"

Lin's mother asked back, and said angrily: "The child has been hiding from us for so long, and now he suddenly confesses to us, don't you know the reason?"

Hearing this, Father Lin immediately lost his temper.

At this juncture, Lin Dong took the initiative to confess to his family about his business, and Lin's father naturally knew the reason.

But then he frowned and said: "This business is risky, what if you lose in the end?"

"Yes, there is no risk in honestly working for others."

Mother Lin gave Father Lin an angry look again: "Just like you, you worked for most of your life, but in the end you couldn't even get the money for your sons' marriage."

"..."

This time, Father Lin was completely speechless.

But Lin's mother continued to sigh: "Forget it, the children have grown up and have their own ideas, and we don't need to impose our own ideas on them.

Whether it is good or bad, it is his own choice after all, so let him go! "

"..."

Father Lin remained silent, with a slightly troubled expression on his face.

In the living room, Lin Dong is sitting on the sofa watching TV.

He knew that his parents must be talking about his resignation when they entered the room.

Although he knew that this would make his father very angry, he really couldn't do it. With several million in his hand, he still made his parents worry about his future marriage money of hundreds of thousands.

"Crack!"

At this moment, there was a light sound at the door and someone opened it with a key.

Lin Dong turned around and looked, a smile appeared on his face immediately.

"Yo, the bridegroom-to-be is back!"
