Conquering System: Harem With Infinite Rebirths

Chapter 31: Escaping In Disgrace



To break the tension, Yana spoke up curiously: "Huh? Where's little Elena today? I haven't seen her all evening."

Harry, too, realized that his younger sister-in-law hadn't been around all day. With summer vacation underway, why hadn't she returned home yet?

"That mischievous girl said she's attending a class reunion," Hazel chuckled, waving her hand dismissively.

"Don't worry about her. Kids these days are full of surprises. Who knows? Maybe this year she'll get accepted into Harvard or Oxford!"

"Oh… haha, well, we won't stay long today. We've got things to do at home, so we'll head back first," Yana announced abruptly, exchanging glances with her husband Jace before standing up with a polite smile.

"Ah? Leaving so soon? Stay a bit longer! It's rare for you to visit; let's chat properly!" Hazel tried to persuade them warmly, reluctant to let his sister's family depart just yet.

"Doesn't Anya want to ask your brother-in-law for writing tips?"

"No, Auntie. Anya and I are going out later, so we won't bother you,"

Ben interjected quickly. Throughout the meal, he'd remained unusually silent, his face pale. He'd been itching to leave for some time, and when Hazel attempted to detain them, he seized the opportunity to decline firmly.

"It's fine, it's fine. If you're busy, go ahead and leave. We'll visit another time. Anya can always reach out if she has questions about writing," Harry added smoothly, eager to see the family depart.

"Brother-in-law, can you add me on DC? That way, if I have questions in the future, I can message you directly!" Anya chimed in innocently, holding up her phone with hopeful eyes.

"Sure." Harry smiled, pulling out his phone to connect with her on DC—a move he'd anticipated all along.

As the family piled into their car and drove away, Wanda burst into laughter.

"Brother-in-law, you were incredible today! Finally, our family got a taste of relief! Let's see how they flaunt their superiority next time. I couldn't stop laughing earlier when I saw their faces fall!"

"Harry! You're amazing! Yesterday, you mentioned buying me a Mercedes-Benz, and I thought you were joking. I had no idea you'd quietly amassed such wealth! Your dad asked you to join his factory yesterday, but its annual profits don't even match your yearly royalties! Silly boy, why didn't you tell me sooner? You must have endured so much!"

Hazel beamed with pride, taking Harry's hand affectionately. Tears welled up in her eyes as she gazed at her thoughtful and filial son-in-law.

"It's not a big deal. I didn't want to say anything until I could surprise you with the car. But when Uncle and Aunt made those hurtful comments—not only about me but also mentioning you and Wanda—I couldn't stay silent. While I may disregard their words, Father-in-law deserves respect. How could I contradict him openly?"

Harry replied sincerely, his tone soft and respectful.

"You're such a good boy! So considerate and caring! Our Wanda is truly blessed to have you as a husband, and your father-in-law and I are fortunate to have you as a son-in-law!" Hazel wiped away her tears, overwhelmed with joy and gratitude.

Not only did Harry heartfelt words boost his mother-in-law's affection significantly, but they also earned him additional points with his sister-in-law. Truly, it was a moment of triumph and celebration.

Since acquiring the system, Harry noticed a profound shift in his mindset. Now armed with confidence and resources—thanks to the recent reward of one million—he found himself speaking with greater sophistication and authority.

His perspective on life had transformed, empowering him to navigate challenges with poise and purpose.

It is true that poor couples face many sorrows. When they sit idle and feel sad for others, they also feel sad for themselves.

Reflecting on the times when he was in dire straits, when everything seemed to go wrong and he could only pity himself without wanting to speak, Harry felt that even he had looked down on himself in the past.

When people are poor, their aspirations often diminish. In poverty, it becomes difficult to excel at anything.

The poorer you are, the more unhappiness you experience. The more unhappy you are, the worse your mindset becomes. With a poor mindset, everything you do is likely to be met with disapproval. This vicious cycle leads to increasing destitution.

Conversely, when you are in high spirits, everything tends to go smoothly. Your attitude improves, and the way you speak and act becomes more appealing.

This creates a virtuous cycle: things go more smoothly, family life becomes more harmonious, and career success naturally follows.

Sometimes, we really can't blame the poor for lacking ambition or not working hard.

When people are poor and have little ambition, and even securing food is a struggle, how can they have foresight? When they are constantly busy and embarrassed, how can they develop social skills and communication abilities?

"Harry, come here." Just as Harry was lost in his thoughts, Wanda suddenly pulled him aside with a stern face.

Having been with his wife for over a year, Harry naturally knew what Wanda was about to ask.

"Harry, is this money really the royalties and shares?" Wanda looked at him seriously, her eyes filled with suspicion.

"Of course, it's my royalties. Do you think I won the lottery? I wish I were that lucky," Harry replied with a smile, pinching Wanda's delicate cheek.

Facing his wife's doubts, Harry found it normal, and her gentle concern warmed his heart.

"You mustn't lie to me. It's okay for us to be poor. My salary is enough to support the two of us. You can't do anything illegal to make money!" Wanda said earnestly.

"Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person. Besides, I stay at home writing books every day. How could any shady dealings find me?" Harry hugged his wife gently, comforting her.

"That's good. Don't spend the money you earn recklessly. We haven't bought a house yet. As for buying a Mercedes-Benz for mom, just talk about it, but don't actually buy it. Cars are depreciating assets. I think our Toyota is just fine. Buying a Mercedes-Benz for vanity is pointless," Wanda advised.
