Karl returned to the Jobson's at night.
Overjoyed by the news that they planned to get marriage registration, Betty gave Karl a sum of money.
She also told them to buy an apartment, because she didn't think they should live in a rented place after they get married!
It came to Ann as a surprise when Karl told her Betty had given them some money to buy a new apartment.
"Where did Betty get so much money? We can't take it!"
Betty was just a retired primary school teacher. Although she had a pension, she still couldn't afford a house in the River City!
Karl didn't think that much. "Don't underestimate my mother. She worked as a primary school teacher, but she saved a fortune. I should at least give you a real home if I want to marry you. We can repay her kindness in the future!"
Even though Karl was brought up in a single-parent family, Karl rarely worried about money.
Therefore, he didn't feel strange when Betty took out so much money.
