A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 722 Open your eyes and see the world

The living area of ​​Pierre's Grocery Store, in the greenhouse behind the kitchen.

Caroline was making tea. The aroma of tea floating in the air was so refreshing that Leon couldn't help but sniff it twice more.

The tea that Caroline sent last time had been finished, so Leon hadn't had tea for a long time. When he smelled this great tea again, he naturally salivated and immediately came to Caroline who was making tea.

"Caroline, can I have a cup of tea with you?"

"Of course." Caroline was a little surprised to see Leon coming, but she still maintained her enthusiasm and smile. She made a cup for Leon, then took Leon to sit at the coffee table and asked.

"Didn't Abigail tell her she was traveling?"

"I told you, I'm not here to see her," Leon explained.

"Then why did you come to see me?" Caroline asked Leon, holding her fingers together under her chin.

"I heard that you cleaned the entire house yesterday, including the grocery store in front. I wonder if you found anything interesting." Leon said directly.

"Oh? Is this what you want to ask or what Pierre wants to ask." Caroline smiled when she heard this.

"I guess you already have the answer in your heart." Leon didn't say much. He picked up the teacup and took a sip of the still scalding hot tea, enjoying the feeling of the tea fragrance filling his nose and feeling the slight sweetness after the bitterness.

"It seems like Pierre has found a spy who's not very subtle." Caroline's smile widened.

"It seems that there is an answer, so what do you think about this matter, Caroline?" Looking at Caroline's reaction, Leon knew that the private money had already fallen into Caroline's pocket.

What he wanted to know now was why Caroline had held back.

If you stick your head out, you will be hurt; if you hide your head, you will be hurt too. Leon has also experienced the torment of waiting without knowing the outcome, so he wants to help Pierre find out the answer.

"That depends on whether Pierre will come forward and apologize frankly, and explain in detail what the money that exceeded the account was originally intended to be used for." Caroline answered directly.

"I understand." Leon continued to drink his tea, already knowing Pierre's fate.

"What do you think about hiding private money, Leon?" Leon didn't say anything, just quietly sipping tea. However, Caroline didn't intend to sit idle. She was quite curious about Leon's opinion on this matter regarding her future son-in-law.

"That's how it is. After all, this matter varies from person to person. Caroline, you manage everything in an orderly manner. That's why Mr. Pierre has no money on hand, so he wants to hide his private money. I control all the money I earn, so I don't feel anything about private money.

But if you really want to give me an opinion, I actually sympathize with Mr. Pierre. After all, a man who doesn't even have enough money to go out for a drink with friends is indeed living a rather miserable life."

Lyon sighed sincerely that a man's wallet after marriage is like his hair, becoming thinner and thinner. He is obviously the main breadwinner, but he has to be frugal with his personal expenses. He doesn't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.

"It's not that I don't give Pierre enough pocket money, it's just that this guy's personal expenses are a bit high. Although Pierre looks very stingy, he never considers whether it is appropriate to spend money on himself. He buys those baseball peripherals that don't have much practical value. If he doesn't control his spending, God knows how much unnecessary expenses he will spend on them every year.

Although the store business is good, it is still a long way from financial freedom. Abigail's college expenses are a considerable expense, and she will get married in the future. As the woman, we have to prepare all the expenses for her wedding, which is also a large amount of money. If we don't save more, what will happen if Abigail can't afford the wedding when she gets married? "Caroline explained to Leon helplessly.

"The wedding preparation expenses are paid by the bride?" Leon was stunned when he heard this.

After all, this kind of thing is basically a rare case in the East. Except for the guys who marry into the wife's family, few married people can enjoy such treatment. Basically, the man is responsible for everything and has to pay a considerable amount of betrothal money.

"Of course, isn't this a tradition?" Caroline asked.

Because the wedding is considered an important gift from the woman's family to their daughter.

When a daughter marries, she usually takes her husband's last name, so the wedding can be seen as the last major gift her family gives her before she officially becomes a member of another family.

"I love this tradition." Although Lyon is not short of money now, he will naturally not be polite if he can save such a sum of money.

No wonder people always call for opening our eyes to the world. In some respects, other countries are indeed more advanced than our own.

"So, you thought you were responsible for everything at the wedding?" Caroline realized that Leon really didn't know about this and couldn't help but joked.

"If you wish, we can also save this expense and leave the money to your future children in a trust fund."

"Let's talk about it when the time comes. I'm not short of money anyway." Leon answered casually. Although he liked the respect, if possible, Leon still wanted to handle everything by himself. After all, if he really wanted to get married, he naturally had to put together the best wedding. It was a big event that happened once in a lifetime, and it had to be done in a grand manner.

"Then let's look forward to that day. But I don't want my daughter to wear a wedding dress with a big belly, so I hope you two will pay a little attention to this aspect before the wedding." Caroline reminded Leon softly.

"No problem." Leon promised. He didn't plan to have a child so early.

"Then you can go back and tell Pierre now."

Seeing that the tea was finished, Caroline reminded Leon.

"Well, it's really nice to chat with you, ma'am." Leon didn't delay and stood up and prepared to leave.

"Wait, take it. It will probably take a long time for your tea seedlings to produce tea. Before that, if you want to drink tea, you can get it from me. I still have a lot of tea in stock." Just as Leon was about to leave, Caroline took out a bag of tea sealed in kraft paper and handed it to Leon.

"I can see that you like drinking tea very much. This is not common. Most young people drink coffee or soft drinks. This is a good hobby. I hope you can keep it up."

"Thank you." Leon accepted the packet of tea without hesitation.

There is no need to refuse gifts from your future mother-in-law, otherwise it would seem a bit reluctant.
