Chapter 457 Can They Feel Okay to Spend It?
Looking at the students walking out of the school continuously like birds escaping from a cage, Gao Ge seems to see the old self through the slits of his eyes.
After joining the Dragon Court, Gao Ge starts to savor his past school life in retrospect.
Likewise, many people who drop out of school always regret not having finished school. Some of them feel that they are not as educated as they need to be; some just miss the carefree life in campus and the others may find that the women in the big city are harder to get than the girls in school.
Bygones are bygones. Just as a saying in the book “Fortress Besieged”, those who are outside want to get in and those who are inside want to get out.
That is what life is like. Children always long to grow up but when they’ve grown up, they hope to return to the childhood. Likewise, a single person always yearns for a lover; yet, after he has a partner, he will miss the freedom in the days when he is single. Life can’t be just as one wishes. With growth, responsibility and hardship come along; everyone grows up throughout the trials of life. With freedom, loneliness comes along; one can let go of himself in loneliness.
After school, the woman gradually becomes busier.
After a while, she gets overwhelmingly occupied.
“Let me help you.” Gao Ge volunteers to help.
The woman hesitates and nods her head. Yet, meanwhile she also frowns and feels something wrong.
With the help of Gao Ge, the woman is obviously much relieved.
Her eyebrows soothed, she keeps looking at the school gate, as if searching for somebody.
As time goes by, fewer and fewer students are seen to leave the school.
“Why hasn’t she still come out...” The woman appears a bit anxious, rubbing her nose.
“Are you looking for your daughter?” Gao Ge asks.
The woman stares at him with alertness, “How do you know it?”
Gao Ge is slightly dazed to say with a smile, “You told me just now that your son left you and his sister behind.”
The woman recalls what she said and smiles embarrassedly, “Sorry. I forgot saying that.”
“It’s okay.”
“Fine, I’ll look for her myself.” The woman starts to put away her booth by covering the pot and putting out the fire. Then she wipes her dirty hands with the apron, throws the apron into her cart and walks to the school with a plastic kettle.
Gao Ge hesitates and then catches up with her.
“Young man, are you a friend of my son?” While heading towards the school, the woman asks.
Woman does have a sharp sixth sense.
Gao Ge smiles with no denial.
When they go through the school gate, they notice the vitrines on both sides of the road.
“Look at that. It’s my daughter.” The woman points at a picture in the vitrine and says to Gao Ge.
Gao Ge takes a glance at the vitrine, in which ten pictures are shown with the title of Top 10 of Grade 3.
“You teach your daughter very well!” Gao Ge sighs.
“Now I just hope that my daughter can get into a good university smoothly. “ The woman sighs while walking forward.
Gao Ge asks, “Don’t you hope her to become an excellent cultivator?”
The woman turns around and looks at him with complicated eyes, replying in a bitter tone, “To be honest, I don’t. When I learnt that my son was enrolled by the Cultivation Academy, I was more than thrilled and happy. However, very soon I heard that my son died. All the people in the town are aware of this and I’ve got a lot of compensation from those people but also the government officials. That’s quite a fortune, but my son can never come back!”
“I am proud of him. I am, seriously! Everyone feels that my son was awesome and I am doing great. They all said that I educated my son well and that my son was brave enough to sacrifice himself for the nation. As reply, I told them that it was what my son should do. However, that’s not what I actually thought!”Visit vi p novel. com
The woman speaks really fast without much thinking.
Obviously, she doesn’t utter the words on impulse. She just has no one to talk with.
“Frankly, I don’t want my son to sacrifice his life. Sometimes I may wonder why it was not others but my son who died for the nation. Although I know I am being selfish, I still hope that my child can live healthily. Isn’t that what a parent hopes for her child? It is too painful for a parent to even think of losing her child. When my husband passed away, I was sad too, but I must hang in there for the sake of my two children. However, when my son died too, I felt like that my world had collapsed. If my daughter... By then I don’t know what else I can live for...”
Gao Ge listens to her quietly.
The more the woman speaks, the sterner Gao Ge’s countenance becomes.
He has been well prepared before, but now he feels that he still overestimated his bearing capability.
Every word uttered by the woman stabs at him like a knife.
When they arrive at Class 2, Grade 3, the woman and Gao Ge find that the classroom is empty now.
“Where has my daughter gone?” The woman gets anxious.
Her daughter means everything to her after her son passed away.
Nothing horrid may happen at school though.
“It’s okay. Let’s look for her around the campus.” Gao Ge comforts her.
“Okay...”
The woman tells Gao Ge, “Actually, back in old days, my daughter used to be the first one who ran out of the school after class. She was such a good girl that she knew I would be very busy during that time, so she always hurried to help me. When I was less busy, she would be doing her homework beside me. To be honest, every time she was helping me, her classmates would come over and laugh at her meanly. However, despite being hurt, she still tried to comfort me and told me that she was fine and that she never felt ashamed to earn a living by ourselves.”
Gao Ge ponders over her words and says, “You are quite loaded now and can afford a better life.”
“Then we can just live in the fortune and do nothing? I’ve got the money but that is given to me at the cost of my son’s life! It may be too mean to put in this way but it is the truth indeed! If I spend the money, every penny will make my heart hurt just like a knife. I will feel like...” Speaking of this, the woman is too sorrowful with a sob to talk anymore.
Gao Ge takes a deep breath and rubs his temples.
She is right.
As to the families of those victims, the money is at the cost of their children’s lives.
Can they feel okay to spend it?
