Chapter 76: Horizons have changed!

Every time they talked about this news, Mom and Dad laughed so hard they couldn't close their mouths.

Originally they thought reclaiming these plots would take many years to recover the cost, but they never expected their son's judgment to be so reliable.

How long has it been? At most it hasn't even been a year.

Over seven years, the annual rent of over a million adds up; according to this contract, they've nearly recouped their costs.

It's precisely because they had this money as backing that the couple boldly designed the house to be so grand when building it.

Although they were sure to spend a considerable sum, the money Li Mingyang gave was surely insufficient, yet the couple had the confidence to finish the house.

Of course, the biggest expense was still the yard's layout; the house was already done in Chinese style, even the walls.

Naturally, the yard's arrangement, with pavilions and towers, had to keep pace.

If all these were put in place, the funds needed would surely be no less than over a million.

Mom and Dad were happy, and Li Mingyang naturally felt happy too, although now he hardly values the family's tiny assets.

Even if these assets were what Li Ming had dreamed of in his past life, and what Li Mingyang had dreamed of changing.

This was also the goal he achieved after reincarnating in this life, by any means necessary!

But after only half a year, when Li Mingyang looked at these things, he no longer felt they were that important.

Still, these things are necessary; at least they give Mom and Dad a career to pursue and their own confidence.

No matter what one wants to do—enjoy life, travel, or buy something—

at least there is a sum of money readily available for discretionary use, even if he, as their son, might have become an enviable success.

He wouldn't check Mom and Dad's expenses, but spending someone else's money—even if that person is one's own son! —feels completely different from spending one's own.

"Mom and Dad, I have to say your taste is really on point."

"Our house in the surrounding countryside is probably one‑of‑a‑kind, and these craftsmen's skills are quite good—I've seen it, whether the wall or the main structure."

"Every detail holds up to scrutiny; the only thing left now is this big courtyard."

"We can't just design it as a simple rural courtyard with a few concrete pads; we must hire two professional designers."

"Besides, our local climate is suitable; we should design it as a small garden, and not shy away from spending."

"I've recently developed a decent technology that should earn us a good amount."

"When the money comes in, I'll give you a fund to finish the house completely and also make use of our family's remaining two plots."

"As for the rest, whether you keep it for yourselves or go out and play, you can dispose of that money however you like."

When Li Mingyang said this, he was truly full of confidence; high‑energy battery technology is absolutely epoch‑making in this era.

With this technology in hand, Li Mingyang has ample confidence; getting rich, achieving wealth freedom, etc., are easy small goals.

Even if Li Mingyang has no grand ambitions, relying solely on this technology he could lie flat for life.

Even if his descendants join him in lying flat, this money should be inexhaustible.

Although Li Mingyang doesn't plan to lie flat, continuing research will surely be a bottomless money‑burning machine.

Yet, while guaranteeing expenses, casually allocating a sum to secure Mom and Dad's livelihood is, to Li Mingyang, a mere drop in the bucket.

But even just that amount is enough for Mom and Dad to live very well.

"How long have you been in college, kid? You're speaking with such bravado now?"

Hearing Li Mingyang's words, Mom and Dad couldn't help laughing, and they didn't pay much attention to what their son said.

It's not that they doubt their son's ability; they fully believe in small things like having a technology patent.

However, even if that patent could bring in money, it probably wouldn't be much; they'd rather keep it for themselves than use it to support the couple's endeavors.

Anyway, after the son goes to college, whatever he does will surely involve many expenses; the couple can't help much nor give support.

But at least they won't drag their son down.

So upon hearing this, they merely showed a indifferent smile and couldn't help teasing him.

"By the way, our biggest plot has already been rented out, and the other party's greenhouse is nearly finished."

"But the remaining two plots are still empty; what do you think we should do with them?"

After seeing Li Mingyang's abilities, Mom and Dad still highly value his judgment.

Although they certainly won't have money to build a house right now, at least they should start planning—who knows when funds might appear?

"Then you two can just design it yourselves; no matter how you design those two plots, you won't make them flowery—ordinary house building will do."

If it were before, Li Mingyang would surely sit down and discuss it with Mom and Dad enthusiastically.

But now Li Mingyang's horizons have broadened immensely; for this little matter, let Mom and Dad handle it themselves.

At least it gives the couple something to do, and when the house is finished they'll feel a greater sense of accomplishment.

As for himself…… he just needs to prepare the funds as soon as possible.

Now Li Mingyang's thoughts are almost entirely on research; as long as Mom and Dad are happy about that, he doesn't have much else in mind.
