Chapter 18: Men Shouldn’t Go Out and Show Their Faces in Public!
After Welsh finished saying what he had in mind, the two of them quickly returned home.
Just like in the morning, as soon as Welsh entered the house, he saw his father busy in the kitchen.
“We’re back.”
He shouted at his father, who was cooking dinner in the kitchen, indicating that the two of them had already returned home.
Without turning his head after hearing their voices, their father Davis, who was in the kitchen, said, “You’re back. Once your mother is back, we’ll start dinner.”
“Okay.”
The two of them answered obediently and went straight to their respective rooms.
In the end, Welsh did not tell their parents about Alice meeting her online friend today.
He felt that Alice wouldn’t do it again after the incident today.
Since she had learned her lesson, there was no need to worry his parents.
Welsh threw his schoolbag aside and started to turn on his computer.
He checked on the introduction of firearms in this world.
He had seen how powerful firearms were today, so he had some interest in studying them. He wanted to see if it could be used to improve magic.
“Mom is back. Come out for dinner.”
Just as Welsh turned on the computer and was about to look for relevant information, Davis’s voice interrupted him.
Welsh looked at the computer in front of him and decided to go for dinner first.
After all, the information on the internet was there and would not go anywhere. He could come and look at it whenever he wanted.
Walking to the dining table, Welsh finally saw his mother in this life, Melinda.
She wore a decent suit, refined glasses and a neat short hair. She looked like she was only in her thirties. She was dressed like a typical social elite.
According to his predecessor’s point of view, she could be considered a beautiful young woman.
However, the fatigue on her face now ruined the overall beauty. She looked much more haggard.
Although Melinda looked exhausted, she still showed a sincere smile when she saw her children.
Davis saw his wife looking so tired, and a hint of heartache flashed across his face.
He wore an apron and walked forward, touching his wife’s hand with a pained expression, he said, “Did something happen in the company these two days? Why do you look so tired? If you really can’t do it, then change to a simpler job. Don’t be so tired.”
Halfway through his words, Davis seemed to feel that his words were not convincing. He reached out his hand and pointed at the pair of children standing at the side.
“Look, Alice and Welsh have already grown up and they are sensible. They don’t need us to worry about them anymore. Why do you still work so hard outside all day?”
After saying that, he looked at the two children beside him and added, “Don’t you think I’m right?”
Welsh nodded in agreement while looking at his sister Alice beside him.
He was surprised to find that Alice, who was beside him, seemed to have forgotten what had just happened. Her expression was extremely serious as she said righteously, “Yes, that’s right.”
This ability to lie with her eyes wide open gave Welsh a new understanding of Alice’s shamelessness.
Although he was a little speechless, Welsh did not expose her. Instead, he chose to nod in agreement.
Looking at how sensible the two of them were, Melinda nodded in satisfaction.
She had lived the first half of her life for herself and her husband, and the second half for her two children. Now that they were sensible, Melinda would naturally feel happy.
“I can’t.” Melinda thought for a while, but she still rejected her husband’s proposal.
“The two of them aren’t married yet? It’s the time when they need money. Let’s say for Alice, when she’s old and in a relationship, she’ll go out and have a meal with a young boy. She can’t ask the boy to pay for it, right? She needs money!”
“And when she gets married, she can’t live with us, right? She needs money to buy a house. She needs money to buy a house and a car. Without money… we can’t let her stay single for the rest of her life…”
Melinda thought for a moment and added.
“And as for Welsh, though it’s to our advantage now that there are fewer boys and our Welsh is very good-looking, we still have to prepare money for him to get married.” freewe bnovel.com
“Otherwise, when he gets married, you’ll only know how to collect money and not pay for anything. How will you look then? Won’t you seem like selling your son? When he marries into the woman’s house, won’t he be bullied to death? If you don’t feel sorry for him, I do…”
Looking at his nagging mother in this life, although Welsh was speechless about some of the things she said, he could still feel the warmth hidden in these words.
In his previous life, he was an orphan and had never enjoyed family love. But in this life, he had three family members. Although there were unreliable people like Alice in this family, he still felt the warmth of home.
Standing aside, Davis heard what his wife said and felt that it was very reasonable. But he really felt sorry for his wife, so he said, “Welsh and Alice are both grown up and can handle their own things. How about…”
Davis paused for a moment, as if he had made a very difficult decision.
“Should I go to work too? This will also reduce your burden. Otherwise, the burden of the whole family will be on you. It will be too hard.”
“Impossible!”
Hearing Davis’s words, Melinda’s reaction was like a cat that had been stepped on, and she suddenly exploded.
“You men should stay at home to take care of the children, cook and wash clothes. Don’t think about going out to show your face all day long. You’re a man who goes out to earn money. What if you get cheated on?”
Hearing Melinda’s words, Welsh was also shocked. He turned his head and looked carefully at his father Davis, who was sitting on the sofa and wearing an apron.
He found that his mother’s worries were not unreasonable.
Although Davis was old now, his figure and everything else was still maintained well. Other than his hair being a little white, he didn’t look that old and he would be very handsome if he tidied up.
Moreover, there was a huge market out there for this kind of handsome middle-aged man outside.
In the end, under Melinda’s strong opposition, Davis gave up the idea of going out to work and prepared to continue taking care of the family.
Then the family began to have a nice dinner.
Only Welsh saw the flash of worry in Melinda’s eyes.
