Chapter 43 Lin Family History

Late at night, Xia Yu's family's conversation continued.

Charlotte resolutely gave the Charmander egg to Xia Yu, because the college cup half a year later was crucial to Xia Yu, and as a family member, he naturally gave his unconditional and full support.

After many twists and turns, the little fire dragon elf egg that Xia Yu had been thinking about finally returned to Xia Yu's hands. However, he was determined to make up for his brother. At this time, he thought of the S-level item Thunder Stone again, took it out and handed it to Charlotte solemnly: "Brother, you must accept this Thunder Stone, otherwise I will never accept the elf egg."

"Okay." Seeing Xia Yu's firm attitude, Xia Luo did not hesitate this time and nodded in agreement.

"Three Pokémon have been confirmed. Xia Yu, you must improve your strength as much as possible in the next six months. You need to ask for leave from school tomorrow and prepare for the battle. Let me make it clear that it is definitely not possible for you to go out and practice alone in the next six months. I will try to find a training class or a secret place for you to participate in intensive training." Xia Yong said this, lit a cigarette for himself, and smoked it. He was surrounded by smoke and thought about the training class: "Is there any place you want to go?"

The strength of training classes in a small city like Xingguang City is limited, and at least you have to go to Tiandu City. At this time every year, many college cup special training classes will emerge, some of which are really strong, while others are just cheating money in the name of training.

"I want to go to the Dragon-type Secret Realm for special training." Xia Yu said. He has three Dragon-type Pokémon, so going there for special training is undoubtedly the best choice.

There are only two dragon secret realms in China, one in the imperial capital and the other in Chang'an. The training fees of these two secret realms are ridiculously expensive, and it is hard to get a lot of money. The key is that the number of places is limited. For the college cup training class, generally each secret realm has only 30 places per year, and the registration fee is as high as one million. The key is that the secret realm also verifies the Pokémon qualifications of the applicants, otherwise accepting some crooked ones will only ruin the reputation of the secret realm.

After hearing Xia Yu's answer, Xia Yong took a deep puff of his cigarette silently, glanced at his wife Lin Xuemei secretly, and slowly said, "Xia Yu, go to bed first. I'll discuss it with your mother and tell you tomorrow. Remember to ask for leave from school tomorrow."

"Okay, Dad."

"Charlotte, you should go and have a rest too. You are going to get married soon, so be more sensible and make me worry less."

"Got it, Dad."

Waiting for both sons to enter the room, the couple fell into silence. After ten minutes, Xia Yong finally spoke: "Xuemei..."

"Old Xia, no need to tell me, I know." Lin Xuemei sat on the chair with a complicated expression: "Let Xia Yu go to the capital, I'll call my dad."

"Xuemei, how about we spend some money to let Xia Yu go to the secret place in Chang'an City?" Xia Yong hugged Lin Xuemei into his arms, feeling extremely distressed: "Let's not go to the secret place in the imperial capital. I'm too lazy to call your dad and don't want to be insulted."

"It's okay. So many years have passed." Lin Xuemei leaned on Xia Yong's arms and said softly, "I don't hate them anymore. The last time I saw him, he had aged a lot. After a few years, he is now in his seventies."

When Lin Xuemei was 25 years old, she had just graduated from Xishu University with a bachelor's, master's and doctoral degree. After graduation, she met Xia Yong, a poor boy at the time. As soon as the two met, Xia Yong fell in love with Lin Xuemei, a rich lady from a big city, and began to pursue her madly.

As the saying goes, a strong woman is afraid of being pestered by a man. Lin Xuemei, a lady from a wealthy family, could not withstand such a situation. In addition, Xia Yong was a handsome man with a celebrity appearance when he was young. Lin Xuemei soon fell in love with Xia Yong and reached the stage of discussing marriage.

It's just that Lin Xuemei's father has always looked down on Xia Yong, who has little education and no family background, so he firmly disagrees with their marriage. But Lin Xuemei is stubborn and no one can change her mind, otherwise she would not fall in love with a poor boy like Xia Yong.

Finally, after Lin Xuemei had a big fight with her father, her father was so angry that he said directly: "If you marry Xia Yong, don't ever come back."

Lin Xuemei is also a tough person with a stubborn temper. She ran away from home and married Xia Yong and had a child in Starlight City. Later, Xia Yong became the gym leader and Lin Xuemei became a doctor in the Pokémon Hospital.

Lin Xuemei has never seen her parents again since then. Even when her two sons were born, Lin Xuemei never returned to her parents' home, and her parents never came to see her once. Only her mother secretly gave her some money.

This situation continued until a few years ago, when Lin Xuemei received a call from her eldest brother saying that her mother was in poor health. She then hurriedly took her two sons to the capital to visit her, and the relationship within the family began to ease.

From then on, every New Year Lin Xuemei would let her two sons live with their parents for a while, and occasionally she would bring her mother to visit Xishu Province, but she and her father were still the same stubborn people, and they never interacted with each other, and neither of them was willing to give in first.

So when Xia Yong heard that his wife Lin Xuemei was willing to take the initiative to contact her father for their youngest son's sake, he felt a little emotional.

"Xuemei, when you call your dad later, tell him that I am willing to give out 10% of the shares of Grass Insect Secret Realm." Xia Yong thought for a moment and said firmly, "I can't let my future father-in-law look down on you."

"Old Xia, you really don't have to..." Lin Xuemei was deeply moved after listening to Xia Yong's words.

Xia Yong smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what's going on. This 10% of the shares is not for your father, but for Xiaoyu. I've thought about it. After we die, these things will all be given to Xiaoyu and Xiaoluo. The 20% of the shares in the Grass Insect Secret Realm will be 10% each for the two brothers. Xia Luo is a reckless person, and he's about to get married to Xiao Yu, so it's time for them to settle down. In addition to the Grass Insect Secret Realm, he will inherit our property in Xingguang City."

"Although Xiaoyu is young, he has a calm personality and listens to us the most. Didn't I keep talking to you about marriage a while ago? Find a good girl for Xiaoyu. It just so happens that this time when we go to the imperial capital, I want your father to help Xiaoyu find a wife in the imperial capital. This 10% of the secret realm shares will be used as Xiaoyu's betrothal gift. As long as they get married, we will immediately transfer this 10% of the shares to Xiaoyu and his future wife." Xia Yong said, "With this 10% of the shares, plus it's his grandson's marriage, with your father's personality of wanting to take care of everything, I don't believe that your father won't help."

"Old Xia, have you been plotting against your father-in-law for all this time?" Lin Xuemei said, pretending to be angry.

"Wife, I'm just helping you vent your anger." Thinking of this, Xia Yong suddenly sighed: "Xuemei, I actually understood your father a long time ago. If I had a daughter as beautiful as you, and one day she suddenly said she wanted to marry a poor boy, I would just break that boy's legs. And you see, what's the difference between me and your father now? Your father arranged a marriage for you, and I arrange it for Xiaoyu."

"How dare you say that?" Lin Xuemei poked Xia Yong's forehead and said, "Now you know how much I paid to marry you. Just try not to make me angry in the future."

"I know. That's why I say that the luckiest thing in my life is marrying a good wife like you."
