But now that he was no longer short of money, hearing his parents talk like this made his heart feel sour.
Yigol Novak continued: “Mom, don’t worry, I just want to tell you that your son is not short of money. As for how much money I have, I can’t tell you, mainly because I’m worried that you might not believe it. If you did believe it, you might be shocked.”
“In any case, no matter what kind of university Sana wants to attend, as long as she has the ability to get in, I can come up with the money. You don’t have to worry about it. I’m not just giving her money for nothing. We’ve discussed this, and I won’t give her everything at once. I’m just acting as her guardian to some extent, and I’ll only give her money when she needs it.”
“If Sana can’t make it on her own later on, that’s fine. But if she does, she will pay me back. I have the ability to help her now, and she is my sister. It’s only right for me to lend her a hand. Money is certainly important, but there is a point at which it becomes less crucial. There are other things in this world, including family, that are just as important.”
“Don’t worry about Sana’s education, you and Uncle Steven’s family. As long as she goes to school and behaves, you can leave the rest to me. Not to mention going to college, even if she wants to study abroad and pursue a doctorate degree, it’s completely fine.”
“Yigol, what nonsense are you talking about? Are you still half- asleep? Even studying abroad is no problem? Don’t oversimplify things. For a child to graduate from high school and college, then go on to study further, the tuition, miscellaneous fees, and living expenses that pile up require a lot of money.”
“We still have a lot of expenses at home. You’re talking so lightly, but you know your own situation, don’t you?”
“You’ve been working for several years and have only saved up tens of thousands dollars. Don’t get impulsive and think you’re so great. There are too many things you can’t handle. How can you manage everything?”
“Don’t end up ruining your sister’s education and not being able to find a wife yourself. What would your father and I do? You’re being too reckless.”
Yigol Novak was a bit helpless. He understood his mother’s concerns. The mindset of poverty had already been engraved into their bones. That’s why Yigol didn’t tell his family about his wealth.
His family’s financial situation was not the worst compared to their neighbors, but compared to big cities, their annual income might be equivalent to a month’s expenses for a family in the city.
Yigol’s mother was the type of person who lived with a clear understanding of her circumstances. That’s why she didn’t pretend to be more affluent than her family was in order to help Uncle Steven’s family out of sympathy.
She spent her whole life thinking about her family and Yigol.
In the past, Yigol would have completely agreed with his mother’s approach. First, you had to take care of yourself before taking care of others.
In the past, their family was doing well just managing their own lives.
If it were the past, he wouldn’t have been involved in his sister’s education either.
His mother being frugal was totally fine, but the headache now was that he didn’t know how to tell her about his wealth.
If it frightened his mother, what should he do?
The main problem was that his mother cared too much about money. Suddenly having so much more would definitely make her panic.
Older people are most afraid of strong emotions, both joyful and sorrowful.
After pondering for a while, Yigol suddenly had a good idea. He asked his mother: “Mom, in your opinion, how much money does our family need to have for you to stop worrying about these issues?”
“For example, how much money do I need to get married?”
“Money to get married?” His mother thought for a moment and then huffed:
“Nowadays, bride prices are around twenty or thirty thousand dollars. Let’s say thirty thousands dollars. Even this little amount of bride price, our family can’t afford. I don’t know how much we would need to borrow.”
“In addition to the bride price, there’s also the cost of the banquet and the jewelry we need to buy. Nowadays, girls getting married require a bride price, which is very expensive.”
“Also, you need to renovate your house afterward. You can’t live in this old house after you get married. Even if you’re willing, the lady might not be. If possible, your mother hopes that you can find a good wife, not just someone randomly.”
“Your father and I calculated this expense the other day, and it won’t work without six or seven hundred thousands dollars.”
“Then there are the things that happen after the wedding. Starting from the time your wife becomes pregnant, you have to pay for all kinds of nutrition and check-ups. After the child is born, there are expenses everywhere, which will also cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.”
“Without knowing it, you’ll find that more than a million dollars are needed. Tell me, where are we going to find that kind of money? Your father and I are almost worried to death.” Yigol’s mother’s voice was filled with endless sorrow as she spoke.
“So my son, your mother isn’t unaware of your feelings. You pity your sister and want to help her, but our family doesn’t have the ability. You can’t even take care of yourself, let alone other people’s affairs. If you could, she would still be my niece. Wouldn’t I feel sorry for her then?”
Hearing his mother’s words, Yigol finally understood why she was so worried when she heard that he wanted to support his sister’s education.
Raising a college student would cost at least over a million dollars on the low side.
Yigol directly found his mother’s card number and transferred one million and five hundred thousand dollars to her account.
Now that Yigol was so wealthy, he had automatically been upgraded to a VIP bank customer. Transferring money was the most basic service he could receive.
No matter how much he transferred, the money would arrive in the account within five minutes.
Soon, Yigol’s mother received a text message from the bank. She was still complaining when she suddenly stared at her phone in a daze.
After a while, she stuttered: “Son, what is this…”
“Mom, didn’t you say more than a million dollars would be enough? I’ve transferred it to you.”
Yigol’s mother hesitated several times and was so surprised that she didn’t know what to say.
“Son, where did you get so much money? Did you… Did you…”
“Son, that kind of illegal thing, we can’t do. We… We can be a little poorer, but we can’t…”
Yigol’s mother took about two minutes to respond. When she did, she was panicking.
This was more than a million dollars, an amount she had never seen in her life, so her first reaction upon seeing the money was that Yigol had done something he shouldn’t have, and had earned black money.
“Mom, don’t worry,” Yigol hurriedly reassured her.
But no sooner had he started speaking than his mother interrupted, even more agitated: “Don’t worry? Something so big has happened, and you tell me not to worry? My son, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have pressured you so much. You mustn’t do such illegal things. We can be poor, but we can’t…” Yigol’s mother was so worried and started to cry as she spoke..
