Chapter 179 Catch Doll 4

Because of Ma Jiye's insistence, Lin Jiu stopped mentioning giving him money after considering his self-esteem.

In this life, Lin Jiu had no worries about food and clothing and lived a wealthy life. He had pocket money from his parents and grandparents as well as New Year's money, which he saved up because he didn't have much to buy. So far, it had amounted to a considerable sum.

So Lin Jiu never thought about making money, but now given Ma Jiye's situation, he has to find a way to make money.

However, Lin Jiu couldn't think of any good solution for a while. Just as Ma Jiye and Lin Jiu were thinking, they didn't notice a flash of light above their heads.

The bright light appeared and disappeared quickly. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't be able to detect its existence at all.

At this time, Ma Jiye was immersed in his own world, thinking about how to get out of his current predicament, and naturally did not notice the abnormality above his head.

On the other hand, Ma Chenggang's face has been very dark since he saw Ma Jieye take out the game console on the surveillance camera.

Chunlan looked at her son on the surveillance camera, then at Ma Chenggang, whose face was gloomy, and patted him on the shoulder, saying comfortingly, "Old Ma, think about it, your son is still young and naive."

Ma Chenggang suddenly said in grief and anger: "Is he ignorant? He's only twelve years old. When I was twelve, I had to support myself. But he has such good conditions and doesn't even have to earn money. He has a wife but forgets his father. What about the new pair of shoes you promised me? Where are my shoes? My shoes!"

After saying this, he lifted up the shoe on his foot that had been split into two halves.

When Chunlan heard Ma Chenggang say "such good conditions", she couldn't help but roll her eyes. She didn't even let her son enjoy such good conditions!

She couldn't help but say, "How dare you say that? When you were twelve, could you have the conditions you have now? Your family clearly had the means, but you insisted on letting your son practice your ridiculous theory of hardship and success. He's suffered a lot since he was a child, and now he finally has some pocket money. What's wrong with buying something he likes?"

Ma Chenggang was speechless after being told this by Chunlan, but he still grumbled unwillingly, "He can't spend all the money, right? He should at least leave some for me to buy a new pair of shoes!"

When Chunlan heard Ma Chenggang mention shoes at the end, her eyes involuntarily fell on the pair of shoes on his feet that were almost worn out.

It was a pair of ordinary cloth shoes. The original black upper had now turned grayish white, and the sole was almost worn flat. The upper and the sole were almost inseparable, as if telling of the hardships the owner had experienced.

Chunlan was silent for a moment. Ma Chenggang had gone to great lengths to let his son see his father's hard work and poverty.

Not only did he deliberately wear shabby clothes, he also picked out a pair of the most worn shoes and even rolled up his trouser legs to reveal his patched socks. This was really too deliberate.

She shook her head helplessly, feeling somewhat helpless about Ma Chenggang's stubbornness. She knew that Ma Chenggang had always had high hopes for Ma Jiye, hoping that he could become a sensible and independent child.

However, Ma Chenggang seems unaware that his excessive behavior may bring pressure and burden to his children.

At the same time, Chunlan also understands Ma Jiye's nature as a child. Children are always full of energy and curiosity, and it is normal for them to like playing and having fun.

She didn't want to deprive her son of his right to happiness because of his family's financial situation, nor did she want him to bear the burden of life too early. Moreover, she felt from the bottom of her heart that her son didn't need to be raised in poverty, as their family was not without financial resources.

However, Chunlan knew very well that Ma Chenggang was a stubborn person, and once he made up his mind, it was difficult to change his mind.

Therefore, she also understood that no matter how she persuaded, it would be futile and her son would ultimately suffer.

Seeing Ma Chenggang's serious expression, Chunlan sighed helplessly and comforted him, "Okay, okay, don't be angry."

She knew that Ma Chenggang took the matter very seriously, but she really couldn't bear to see her son suffer.

Chunlan gently stroked Ma Chenggang's hand, trying to calm him. She whispered, "I know you want your child to learn to cherish and work hard, but we also have to consider his feelings. He's still so young, and putting too much pressure on him might backfire."

Ma Chenggang listened to Chunlan's words, was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded, indicating that he understood her concerns. But he still insisted that providing children with an overly privileged environment was not a good thing.

Ma Chenggang sighed. Although he was still a little dissatisfied, he could only let it go for the time being.

After all, he also knew that his son was still young and needed to be guided and educated slowly. He believed that as long as he taught him with all his heart, Ma Jiye would one day understand their good intentions.

"Well, I hope so." Ma Chenggang murmured to himself, with a glimmer of expectation in his eyes.
