"Brother Zhou Yan, are you really letting me choose?"
Although Tian Wei had already heard it from Zhou Yan, he was still a little stunned when the moment actually came.
This was over seven thousand Red Crystal Coins!
Even everything in Red Stone Village put together would only fetch around two or three thousand Red Crystal Coins.
Now Tian Wei had two or three times the entire village's income at his disposal.
Bold as he was, he could not help trembling a little at that moment.
"It's only seven thousand or so Red Crystal Coins. You're a man-what is there to be afraid of? You'll definitely have much more money at your disposal in the future," Zhou Yan said encouragingly.
Tian Wei flushed with excitement, as though he had been given a shot of adrenaline.
"That's right. I'll definitely earn more money and buy more things in the future..."
Zhou Yan looked at Tian Wei, smiled, and patted his head without saying anything more.
Uncle Ma watched with a broad smile, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Compared with the other villagers of Red Stone Village, Uncle Ma had seen much more of the world, so he had some understanding of what Zhou Yan intended.
He was not indulging Tian Wei. He was nurturing the boy's ambition and confidence while broadening his horizons.
For most ordinary people, what they lacked most was not opportunity or ability, but ambition and desire.
Only strong enough ambition could sustain a person as they kept moving forward, striving to improve and grow.
Otherwise, they would simply muddle through, drifting through their entire lives!
Perhaps too much ambition was not a good thing.
But if someone lacked even the most basic drive and ambition, they would live in numb apathy, like a walking corpse.
