When Qin Yecai returned home, she saw Liu Tianming working. She wanted to say something, but hesitated, unsure of how to approach him.

She wondered if Li Tianming was willing to leave, as she was moving from her familiar environment to a new one.

What about her parents? These questions lingered in her mind.

Her sisters have all gotten married and started their own families, but she can't possibly take all her family members with her.

Liu Tianming noticed that Qin Yecai seemed to have something on her mind, so he put down his work and got up to ask her.

"Honey, what's wrong? Is something the matter? You've been looking so listless lately."

"Tianming, I need to tell you something. We have to go now, to another place."

"Where are you going? Isn't this our home? Your family and my family are all here."

"It's like this, I can't explain it to you, but this matter is really serious, and I'm telling you this very seriously."

"Then tell me, where are we going? By train?"

"It's very far, and I don't know when I'll be able to come back, maybe for a lifetime. I won't be able to come back by train, but by boat. There will be arrangements when the time comes."

"What's wrong with you? What happened? Tell me we'll face this together."

“This is the inevitable result for the sake of our family. You go and ask your younger brother and sister, and I'll go and ask my parents and sister.”

"What do you think? Would you like to walk with me? If not, I can walk by myself."

“Wife, I know you have secrets. I won’t ask if you don’t tell me. I’m willing. I don’t have parents, I only have a younger brother and sister.”

“I will talk to them about this. If they are willing, we will take them with us. If they are not willing, we will go as a family.”

"Alright, I knew I hadn't misjudged you, Tianming. I'll go ask my parents and sister. If they don't want to go, we'll leave them some extra money."

“Before I married you, I had saved up a lot of money. If they don’t want to leave, then we will.”

"Okay, when should we leave? Should we bring anything?"

"Don't rush, but we should prepare everything we need to bring in advance during this period."

"I understand, honey. I'll start tidying up in the meantime."

"Okay, sure."

Qin Yecai breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that Liu Tianming was willing to go with her. No one wanted to leave their hometown, not even she.

The longer it went on, the more complicated things became, so Qin Yecai immediately consulted her parents about it.

"Father, Mother, we're going somewhere else, and we might not be able to come back for many years. Will you come with us?"

“Wild Vegetables, your father and I are getting old, and your sister is here. Do you think we can leave?”

“We’re reluctant to leave you either, you should go,” Wild Vegetable’s parents cried. They couldn’t bear to leave this place, nor could they bear to leave their child.

"Mom and Dad, don't worry, I will definitely come back. Wait for me. Also, here is 5,000 yuan, which I have saved up over the years. Keep it for your retirement."

"Wild vegetables, you'll need even more money when you leave, so don't give them to us."

"Father and Mother, we don't know how many years it will be before we see each other again after we leave. Please take good care of yourselves."

"I'm leaving, Father and Mother."

"Alas," the elderly couple lamented, feeling deeply saddened that even in their later years they had to face separation.

Qin Yecai also asked her younger sister, and they both didn't want to leave. Qin Yecai understood, if only the current situation wasn't so complicated.

She will not leave this home where she has lived for more than 10 years.

"Tianming, I'm back. My parents and sister aren't leaving."

“My younger brother and sister are going with me. I’ve watched them grow up since they were little, so I decided to go with them.”

"Okay, it's settled then. I'll make the arrangements. Let's pack our things first."

"Be prepared for everything."

Liu Tianming nodded.
