Chapter 665 Go Into the Mountains

The five talked for a while. Gerald said, “Are you going to sleep? I want to go down and talk to Valery.”

“I’m so sleepy. I’ll go to sleep and recharge myself for tomorrow,” Theo said.

“I’m going to sleep, too,” Erik said.

The others were the same.

Gerald was speechless. After saying goodbye to them, he went down.

Joanna’s mother had problems with her legs, so she did not go help with the funeral. On the table, there were a few dishes made by Valery. In addition, there was a roast turkey.

Joanna and her younger brother were wolfing down the turkey with their lips full of oil.

“Damn, why did you bring a roast turkey with you?” Gerald exclaimed as he looked at Carolyn.

Carolyn revealed a hint of embarrassment as she said, “I’m worried that I’ll be hungry.”

Carolyn was a big eater who would eat a lot at each meal. The key point was that she wouldn’t gain weight.

Her big backpack was filled with snacks.

“Do you know how long did she struggle when we took out the turkey?” Beside Carolyn, Kristen said with a smile.

Carolyn smiled but did not say anything.

Gerald sat down beside them. Valery asked, “Can we set off tomorrow?”

“No problem.” Gerald nodded. “Go ahead with the food.”

After they finished eating, Joanna’s mother was about to do the dishes when Joanna stopped her and said,

“Mom, go take a rest. I will do it.”

Joanna was sweet. She knew that her mother had problems with her legs, so she took the initiative to do the dishes.

“I’ll lend you a hand.” Joanna’s brother said with a smile.

The two collected the dishes and went to the kitchen. Then, Valery walked to the middle-aged woman and smiled. “How is your kids’ academic performance?”

“Joanna ranks first in her class. She said that she wants to go study at the best university in the country.” As the middle-aged woman spoke, she said with some concern, “I don’t need to spend much money for now, but after she studies at a high school, we will feel more pressure. Her father works as a security guard and can’t earn much money.”

Valery smiled, and then she took out 3,200 dollars.

The woman was stunned and refused to take it. “What are you doing?”

Valery smiled and said, “3,200 dollars is not much for us, I hope it can help you. Take it as the payment for our meal and accommodation.”

“We can’t accept it. You come from far away. We should accommodate you. We can’t take the money,” the woman said anxiously. 3,200 dollars was an astronomical amount of money for them. They might not need so much money to build. a house.

“Miss,” Gerald said. “You know that Joanna is a good student. She is in primary school now, but as her study goes further, the tuition fees will increase. You can apply for loans, but they might not be granted. Sometimes, loans are even granted to rich students. If she needs that much money for her study, what will you do? Ask her to quit?”

As he spoke, he smiled, “We like the girl and want her to continue her study. In the future, after she becomes a university student, she can work in our company.”

The woman was stunned.

“Take it. Don’t feel guilty,” Valery said softly.
