Chapter 94: The Town That Only I Don't Exist
"Ah...even though you requested it, to be honest, it's a bit difficult..." I said awkwardly, "Your father is really annoying..."
Kallen's expression instantly became a little disappointed, and she forced a smile and said: "That guy is really annoying..."
Suddenly a smile appeared on my face, "But for your sake, I'll just pretend as if nothing has happened! What do you think?"
"Tch, you bastard." Karen bumped my waist with her elbow and said pretending to be angry.
"You don't agree? Then I'll show it?"
"you dare!"
"Hahaha, you're kidding! How dare I stop talking to you, young lady!"
Kallen lowered her head and smiled for a while, which turned into a hearty laugh. She hugged Jay and kept rocking, while saying: "Jay, you have to be careful about this man. He talks nice, but he doesn't even know a few words."
it is true."
Fortunately, the jay didn't hear what she said. He kept fiddling with the newly purchased yellow baize backpack, taking out the items from the magical beast skin bag one by one and putting them back into the backpack with a smile on his face.
"Hey, beauty, if you arrange me as you please, I will charge you!"
"Charges? Are these enough?"
Kallen took out a few bags of seeds from somewhere and handed them to me.
I took a look and saw from the signs on it that there were several bags of strawberry seeds. How did she take them out? Did she carry them around with her and give them away?
"How about the hush money? Don't you dare to accept it?" Miss Kallen shook her seed and tried to take it back, but I grabbed her wrist.
"Then I would be disrespectful! Where did the seeds come from?"
"Before I left just now, I took it from the table when dad wasn't paying attention." Kallen said nonchalantly.
"Hey, is this really okay? Just give away things from home?"
"That's why I asked you not to be angry with that guy." Kallen said nonchalantly, "Actually, my father is not like this."
Huh? Could it be that Boss Jeff is not a profiteer?
I thought about his innocent and righteous demeanor, shook my head decisively, and deleted this terrible scene from my mind. All I could think of was Jeff's expression of a weasel greeting a rooster.
, Pan is thinking about how to trick poor customers into shopping...
"What happened?" I asked, trying not to laugh, but Miss Karen saw the clues and hit me in the stomach with her elbow.
She looked at the distant sky and talked about some very distant things.
"I heard from my mother that my father was a rich man. He never knew what money was. He only drank and had fun with his friends every day, and spent all his wealth."
"It was at that time that my mother also met him. In her description, she saw a man with a slovenly homeless appearance, but my father had a carefree smile on his face every day.
Pick a flower from the roadside and give it to my mother, and sing to her a tune you heard on the roadside."
I sighed: "I didn't expect that Boss Jeff was such a prodigal son when he was young! Then how did he become like this...?"
I didn't know how to express my need for money gracefully and politely, so I simply skipped the word.
Fortunately, Miss Karen understood without saying anything and said with a snicker, "That guy can still paint oil paintings now. He is more versatile than you think. It's not just that, my mother said, until they get married.
At that time, my father was still an optimistic and silly person, and he would mess up no matter what he did, and then he would look to my mother helplessly to help deal with the aftermath."
"Anyway, the days passed in such a hurry. In order to marry my father, my mother cut off contact with the family who opposed the marriage early, but their life in the city became more and more difficult. Finally, my father remembered that he was far away.
In the countryside, there is also a house left by our ancestors. It was too remote and could not be sold, so it has always been empty."
"I was born the second year after I came to Ore Town." Kallen finally got to the point and finished describing the romantic history of How I Met Your Mother.
"My mother said that on the night I was born, I couldn't figure out what was going on. I was carefree every day. My fussy father froze outside the delivery room for a long time and suddenly shed tears."
"The next day, he sold his ancestral necklace and used it as starting capital to open this grocery store at home. My mother hugged me and curiously asked him why he did this. After all, the necklace is an important symbol of the family.
Even when I had no fixed place to live, I was reluctant to sell it off."
"My father carefully picked up the infant me and said that he always thought that everything in the world was destined. Fate would bring things and take things away, so there was no need to worry about it. But when he saw his daughter being born,
He suddenly became greedy like never before."
"He greedily hopes that this little life will enjoy all happiness, that this little life will be exempted from all suffering, that she will be well fed and clothed, that she will grow up happily, and that she will be pampered forever."
"That kind of greed turned into a poisonous snake biting his heart, injecting a toxin called happiness. He was no longer calm. He needed a lot of money to give his daughter the best life, the best food, and the best food.
Education is the best future. He regretted why he didn't know how to cherish it and spent all his family property. He regretted that he couldn't give me enough wealth to make me worry-free..."
I was shocked when I listened to this story. I never guessed that the ending of the story was because of Karen? What made an idle man grow into a man of uprightness overnight? And what made a happy-go-lucky playboy become a man
A worried old father?
It's a child.
"Boss Jeff... is actually very great." I struggled to say these words. In fact, I hoped that Karen would tell me that she made up this story, so that I would not have to equate a good father with a profiteer.
, challenged my world view.
"It's okay. Although my dad is always annoying and caressing about everything, it's not masculine at all. But I still hope everyone can understand him and don't hate him because of it."
Karen looked at the sky melancholy and saw strange clouds floating and wandering.
"People in the town have a cold relationship with him because of his increasingly greedy behavior in recent years. But my mother told me that he wanted to save money to send me to college in a big city."
I said quietly: "Well, no matter what others say, he is a good father, and you should thank him for his efforts."
But Kallen said disdainfully: "Oh, who should thank that annoying guy?" and then finally expressed her inner thoughts.
"His behavior makes me very distressed... I didn't ask him to do this, but he paid so much for me and caused so much trouble to everyone in the town because of my appearance. Sometimes I will
I wonder if it would be the best choice for everyone if I didn’t want to be born..."
