"And that brat Jin Jin hasn't contacted us either; she's probably already run away."

If Sheng Jinjin ignores them, they won't know what to do.

“We don’t have a son, and that girl Jinjin doesn’t care about us. What will we do in the future?”

Having lived a life of luxury for so many years, they are no longer capable of working.

They can't handle manual labor.

If you do easy work, people might not want you.

I have no income right now, and I don't know how I'll survive in a few more months.

Sheng Dahu thought for a moment, "Why don't I just sell the shop, get some money, and go back to my hometown to farm?"

The cost of living is too high in big cities; I can't afford to live there.

The town needs rent and utilities, but they can't afford to pay them.

I might as well go back to the countryside.

You can light candles, dig wells, and grow your own vegetables, saving money on everything.

Zhang Dahua sighed, "But the old house has all been taken away, where will we live?"

Sheng Dahu said, "My dad's old, run-down house wasn't taken away, so let's stay there for now."

Zhang Dahua said, "That dilapidated house was sold to Sheng Yueqing a long time ago. What would Sheng Yueqing do if she knew where we lived?"

Sheng Dahu didn't care anymore. "So what if we know? It's our house anyway."

Moreover, Sheng Yueqing is not coming back.

Even if they come back and see them living in dilapidated houses, instead of giving them new houses, can they just be driven away?

Zhang Dahua thought it made a lot of sense.

"But the old house is dilapidated, is it even habitable?"

It's fine on sunny days, but once it's windy and rainy, the roof of the house is broken and it's impossible to live in.

Sheng Dahu said, "Then let's sell the shop and use the money to renovate it."

"Or build a small house next to it."

As long as it can be used temporarily, that's fine.
