Yigol Novak groggily opened his mobile phone and surprisingly, it was a video call from his mom.
At that moment, Yigol’s mother was sitting under a large tree in front of their house, and the rustling sound of leaves could be heard from the video.
“Mom, why did you suddenly decide to video call me?” Yigol asked, “Are you relaxing under the tree?
His mom was not the type to call frequently out of missing him.
“Yes, Yigol, it’s particularly hot these days, take care when you’re out for work, okay?” His mother advised.
“Yes, Mom, I know. You and Dad should also watch out in this hot weather, don’t overwork yourselves, there’s nothing more important than health.” Their conversation was quite ordinary.
“Mom, did you call because there’s something you needed to discuss?” Yigol asked further.
“Yes, your uncle Steven called me saying that your sister is planning to continue her studies, what’s going on?”
“What’s the big deal? Isn’t it a good thing if she wanted to continue studying? Did she misbehave again?” Yigol asked.
“No, no, it’s just Steven mentioned that after she visited your place for a few days, she came back and said that she wanted to go back to school and has been reading books all the time. At first, we thought she was just whimsical and let her be.’
“But half a month has passed and she’s still very focused on her books. Her activities have also been related to study, and that’s when your grandparents realized that Sana was really serious about her studies. So, they called your uncle Steven.”
“You know your Uncle Steven’s situation as well. They can’t afford to send Sana to school and wanted her to find a steady job, and it ended up in a big fight. Sana insisted that her studies were her own business, and that she doesn’t need anyone to spend a penny on her.”
“Your uncle Steven said so, and that’s all I heard from him. So, I thought I’d call you, are you covering Sana’s expense?”
Upon hearing this, Yigol finally understood what was going on.
The money for his sister was borrowed from Suri Drew. He wanted to provide but alas her strong sense of pride refused to accept a cent from him.
Even when she borrowed the money from Suri, there were conditions between the two of them. Yigol did not know the details, and the two girls did not say it.
However, at this time, Yigol had to take responsibility for it. He could hardly say it was from his girlfriend.
Yigol responded, “Her wanting to study is a good thing, and the money is from me. As long as she is not messing around, she can study wherever she wants. We had a private agreement and promised to keep it a secret. So, you don’t need to worry about the money and try not to ask too much about it.”
“Tell your uncle Steven to not meddle too much with Sana. Surely they won’t still pressure Sana to find a job or get married when she’s not using their money to go to school. If they keep on doing that, it’s too much. You guys need to have a proper talk with my uncle Steven, we cant let my sister ruin her life.”
“What, you’re the one giving her the money?” Yigol’s mother got rattled when she heard this, “You’re saying Sana’s money is from you? How could you be so muddled, Yigol? You’re not young anymore, you should be getting married. If you give all your money to Sana, what will you use to start a family?”
“Isn’t it true that your uncle Steven did this out of desperation? With the condition of their family, if Sana goes back to school, they have no objection as long as she can learn something and make a living out of it. Suddenly, she wanted to go to university, that means more than a decade’s investment. You know your cousin’s grades are also quite good, and they can only afford to send one child to school.’
“I know you empathize with your sister, we do too, but after all, it’s not our business. If we can’t afford to help, don’t meddle in other people’s affairs too much.”
Yigol was speechless upon hearing this and didn’t know how to explain to his mother.
Mom was right, helping out of an impulse could lead to impoverishment. If he was still the poor young man he used to be, he would not have been able to help his sister no matter how much he empathized.
But things are different now. The one thing he doesn’t lack now is money. As long as his sister is willing, whatever university she wants to attend, as long as she’s admitted, he could afford to send her there.
Yigol had already decided a long time ago that he would cover all costs for his cousin to study, as long as she’s willing. As far as he’s concerned, as long as she is dedicated, it would be all be worth it.
The mother only looked at her own circumstances and lived a clear-headed life, which was admirable.
Yigol thought for a while and said, “Mom, there’s something I want to tell you.”
“What is it? Little rascal, did you get into some sort of trouble again?” As soon as Yigol’s mother heard he had something to say, she grew anxious immediately.
Yigol was both amused and upset, “Mom, don’t you have faith in your own son?
I even doubt whether I am your biological son. I never remember you complimenting me even once. As soon as I say something, your first reaction is always that I’ve gotten into trouble.”
“Ah, isn’t it that our family cannot withstand any big waves? I just hope you’ll tread carefully and avoid trouble. Only then can I feel relieved.”
“As parents, we don’t ask for much. We don’t expect our child to achieve greatly, we just hope for him to be healthy and safe. Ah, people used to say that you won’t understand parental love until you have your own children. You’ll understand when you have your own.”
If he were still the same as before, his mother’s words would not be faulted. After all, he didn’t really have much to offer.
Everyone loves money, especially people from rural areas, who work themselves to the bone every single day just for a little bit of money. But there was no other way, they did not have means to earn big money.
They truly felt like they had to work hard just to survive.
But poverty made them short-sighted and lose their adventurous spirit. They lived carefully every day, worrying about what disaster would befall them.
For instance, in his mother’s eyes previously, all Yigol needed to do was just to get married. She didn’t care who the girl was, as long as she could bear children.
At worst, it would probably be a second marriage. Yigol’s parents would not have minded.
This was not an uncommon phenomenon in their rural hometown. Some families could not afford to marry off their sons, so they would just find a simple-minded woman. Their objective was only one—to ensure their lineage would continue.
Yigol was a filial son. When his mother mentioned those things in the past, he did not mind.
After all, he couldn’t change everything. There was no need to harbor any resentment.
Accepting his parents’ arrangements meant accepting fate’s arrangements. His parents were left with no other choice..
