Chapter 69: Sudden Illness

"How is it, Uncle, was your trip to the Provincial Capital not smooth?" Ge Dongxu, who was very observant, noticed that Cheng Yazhou looked exhausted and his expression carried a mix of anguish and worry, prompting him to ask out of concern.

"Yes, the funds haven't come through. Haha, you're still young; you don't need to worry about these things." Cheng Yazhou replied reflexively, but he quickly realized that Ge Dongxu was too young to discuss such matters and did not elaborate further.

Seeing that Cheng Yazhou did not want to continue, Ge Dongxu did not press further but thought to himself that he needed to mention this to Cheng Lehao when he had time, and to encourage him to study harder. Knowing how hard the parents worked for the family, he could not afford to add to their burdens.
