Unknown Intrusion

Chapter 98 Poverty Doesn't Last Three Generations

Su Yu was already used to being watched, while Su Maode reacted, stared at his son for a moment, and suddenly slapped his son's shoulder hard, but subconsciously softened his strength just before hitting him.

"Well done!"

However, in this case, would the opportunity that I risked my life to obtain still be of any use to my son?
"Son, tell me!"

Su Maode couldn't help but ask Su Yu about the matter of further education.

Su Yu gave a brief and concise explanation, omitting the courtyard and the cheat system, only mentioning that his academic performance was exceptionally good, which earned him the opportunity to advance to a higher level of education, and that he even became the top student in the academy.

"After graduating from junior high school, according to the college's arrangements, you will no longer attend Qing Teng High School, but will go directly to Qing Teng Advanced College. You can make up the high school courses on your own!"

Su Yu said that this was actually a direct path to university.

Happiness came so suddenly that Su Maode couldn't help but be happy. People around him also cast envious and jealous glances at Su Maode. Why couldn't they have such a good thing?

How come you didn't have a son with such talent?
Even the mages and captains around them looked at the Su family father and son with a hint of envy.

Although there are many professionals, the highest being level 3, the problem is that most of them are professions such as [Night Watchman], [Captain], and [Healer]. There is only one mage, Hu Lun, who is also the fleet's chief mage.

This Su Yu is only fourteen or fifteen years old; he's still a teenager.

Even if a child from an ordinary family is a gifted child of fourteen or fifteen years old, they have a bright future!
Su Maode suddenly said to Su Yu, "How did you get here? Find a place and tell me in detail."

Even if others are curious, they can't stop the father and son from whispering to each other.

Once they had walked a little further away, Su Maode's previously cheerful expression changed.

"Xiaoyu, what exactly happened? How did you suddenly become a quasi-professional? How did you end up at sea? Are you hurt, kid? Where were you when the fight broke out?"

In a safer environment, Su Maode was naturally overjoyed to learn that his son had become a quasi-professional.

But he took a huge risk and went to sea with a mountain of debt, all to secure a future for his son.

How could a father not know what kind of talent Xiaoyu has?

Su Maode believed that his son was talented.

If Xiaoyu hadn't been talented, he wouldn't have taken such a risk to secure a better future for her.

But Su Maode didn't quite believe that his son was an extraordinary gifted person.

Can a person's aptitude change again at the age of fourteen or fifteen?
Surely his son couldn't have had a second "development," could he?

This matter can be left unsaid. It's not easy to get a spot to go to sea with your son, who is taking a risk. Both fleets belong to the Song family. How could the Song family agree to let a teenager like your son go to sea with you?

Although many of the crew members are ordinary people, they generally have at least a few years of experience at sea and are considered "veteran" crew members.

What price did Xiaoyu pay to go out to sea to find him?
There are contracts in this world. Su Maode has seen too many people sign contracts of servitude for a short-term gain, which can ruin them for life.

Others only see Xiaoyu's current success, but her father feels uneasy.

"Xiaoyu, tell Dad the truth, what exactly happened?" Su Maode's lips trembled slightly.

"Dad, just trust me!" Under Su Maode's worried gaze, Su Yu felt a warmth in her heart and said thoughtfully.

"My aptitude has indeed changed; many things I didn't know before, I suddenly know now."

"Even the basic meditation that Uncle Cheng gave me has been broken through."

Su Maode was somewhat skeptical.

"But there is definitely something fishy about it!"

Su Yu broke through his own limits, helped the daughter of the Song family, and had dealings with the head of the Song family. He was thus valued and persuaded Song Shuying to send out a second fleet in time, allowing him to go to sea with the second fleet.

"We've been attacked!"

"The attackers were the backers of the debt collectors from before, supposedly for some kind of bloodline!" "Dad, what kind of bloodline does our family have? It seems very important, worth the years or even decades the attackers have spent trying to seize!"

Su Yu focused on the mysterious person who attacked the father and son in order to obtain the bloodline. Although he currently knew only a limited amount, he was not a fool who would "keep it from you for your own good" and had to explain everything clearly.

Su Maode is an adult, although he is just a captain, not a "captain". Knowing this and being mentally prepared is much better than knowing nothing at all.

As for the cheat system and the experience of rebirth and awakening, they were naturally kept secret.

"Bloodline?!"

Su Maode's expression changed immediately.

And from his son's simple summary of the experiences during this period, Su Maode already felt the "bloodshed and turmoil".

The thought that not only he, but also his son, almost died because of the mastermind behind it all made Su Maode's face turn ashen.

He didn't deny it; instead, he seemed thoughtful, and Su Yu began to understand.

“Your grandfather did say something, but not much. I’ll go back and look for his belongings to see if there are any clues.”

Su Yu could only remain speechless: "It seems my family does indeed have a secret. My ancestors weren't the kind of fools who could live a peaceful life without learning magic or practicing martial arts, were they?"

Those with power can only be killed by those who are stronger.

Without strength, even a guard dog could kill the whole family.

In this world, are there more strong people or more dogs?
If he hadn't woken up, that scoundrel Wu Lang alone would have almost driven the mother and son to their deaths.

“Don’t talk about our ancestors like that. They were just… just a little naive…” Su Maode was a normal person. He coughed and didn’t scold his son much.

Because that's really insane.

Knowing that Su Yu had encountered so many dangers without his knowledge, Su Maode felt extremely distressed.

In particular, the fact that they used the issue of borrowing money to pressure the mother and son made Su Maode even more upset.

Although he had discussed his decision to go to sea with his wife, it ultimately put the mother and child in danger.

All of this is because I am not very capable and can only risk my life to gain some opportunities.

If a family has a legacy that has been deliberately destroyed, he would want to spit in the face of his ancestors.

"What a lunatic!" Su Maode vaguely remembered that his ancestors were a large family, but now, almost all of them were dead, leaving only him and his father.

The reason is that the Su family had no successor and became the bottom of society, where anyone could kill or take from them, so naturally they could not survive.

The saying "poverty doesn't last three generations" doesn't mean the family will stop being poor after three generations; it means that if three generations remain poor, the family is likely to perish.

This frees up social space for the second and third sons of wealthier families to fill.

This is the truth of social population transmission.

“…Naive…” Su Yu wanted to say something, but held back.

In my previous life, the entire Su family was wiped out, not a single one remained.

This life wasn't without its challenges; the mastermind behind the scenes used various tactics, and he only managed to resolve half of the situation by countering each move.

Su Maode was rescued in time, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, his voyage can be considered a relatively successful completion of his objective.

The problem is that if there really is a lineage, this could have been avoided, but now it can only be solved by the reincarnation of oneself and external assistance.

Won't this harm our descendants?

Only when families are ruined and everyone is left is there any "peace"?
