Ye Qing was actually not very willing to do so. If she wanted the eldest wife and her husband to come over to help, she would have mentioned it when her eldest sister-in-law gave her the idea last time. After all, she had already planned to start working on opening the store as soon as she came back at that time.

The profit of a small restaurant itself is not particularly huge, so she certainly does not want to go into partnership with others. But if she lets her eldest brother and his wife work for her as her mother-in-law suggests, it may be okay at first, but she is afraid that they will feel disappointed after a long time. It would not be good if a family that was originally close to each other ended up being unhappy because of such a thing.

If she was as successful as she was in her previous life, she could just use the money to help them open a store. The key is that she hasn't established herself yet and everything is still immature.

But the mother-in-law hasn't mentioned anything for all these years, and this time it's also for the sake of the child, so she can't just refuse directly.

She thought for a while and said, "Mom, if my eldest brother and his family all move here, what will we do if we are to distribute land in the future? I heard that it will be our turn in the next two years. If there is no one in our hometown, can the brigade still distribute land to us?

You have to figure this out, whether our family still wants the land or not."

This question stumped the old couple. Their village still had a work-point system and the land was collectively owned. They had heard about the household contract responsibility system, but it had not yet come to their turn, so they had forgotten about it for a while.

Xiang Zhong nodded, "Qingqing is right, we can't rush this matter."

Although he also hoped that his eldest son and his family could come to the city to develop, that was under the premise that there was no hope for his hometown. If his family was given land, it would be different. With land in hand, he would not be worried and it would always be a way out. What if, as his daughter-in-law said, they left and the land was divided up and they didn't get their share, wouldn't that be a big loss?

"Well, alright."

Lin Cuixin couldn't bear to part with it after hearing what she said. No one had it anyway, so she didn't think it was a big deal. If she didn't have it after the land was divided, she would feel at a loss.

Ye Qing added, "Why don't we wait another year or two until the land is divided up at home? If my eldest brother and his wife want to come to the city, we can rent out the land to others to farm. This way, they can earn extra income."

By that time, I should have made a lot of money. If they still want to develop in the city, they will have extra money to help me without having to mix their businesses together.

Xiang Zhong nodded, "I think it's ok, let's do as Qingqing said first, there's still a long time to live, there's no need to rush for one or two years. Doesn't the eldest brother's wife want to sell tofu? She can still make money selling tofu at home, and the expenses at home are not too high, so it's enough for us to spend."

Since he said so, Lin Cuixin didn't say anything else. She nodded and the matter was over for the time being.

At night, the couple returned to their room. Xiang Changlin hugged his wife and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, wife. I made you worry. My parents..."

Ye Qing put his hand over his mouth and said, "I understand. I won't care about it."

She could understand the old couple’s feelings as they had been living a poor life and now had the opportunity to live a good life.

"Mom has been helping us take care of the kids for years, and she only sees Dad a few times a year. I feel bad about this, so why don't we let Mom and Dad go home? At most, I can hire two more people in the store, and the kids can go to school during the day, so I don't have to worry too much.

What do you think of bringing them to the city to spend some time to relax when the family is not busy? "

She felt that her mother-in-law wanted her eldest brother and his family to come over because, on the one hand, she wanted them to live a good life, and on the other hand, she didn't want to be separated from her husband forever.

Now they will definitely not let the eldest brother's family come over because of the land division, but the old couple's problems still have to be resolved.

Xiang Changlin nodded, "Alright, then tell them tomorrow."

"good!"

Xiang Changlin lowered his head and rubbed her fair neck, his voice indescribably gentle, "Wife, why are you so nice?"

Ye Qing shrank his neck and asked him with a smile, "Why do you say that?"

Xiang Changlin deliberately tickled her, "Because you are my wife!"

Ye Qing chuckled, "What?"

The renovation of the new store was proceeding in full swing every day. Xiang Changlin also told his parents about Ye Qing's intention. Although Lin Cuixin didn't want to be separated from her husband, she still refused to go back.

"The store is short of staff. How can I go back? I am worried about my five children."

"The store is hiring anyway, so just hire one more. The kids are grown up now, Qingqing and I can handle it, you don't have to worry about these things."

"That won't work either. I'm still worried. What should I do if the child comes to me?"

She has been with her five children since they were born and raised them, so how could she be willing to leave them?

Xiang Changlin raised his hand and pinched his brows, "Qingqing and I also think that it's been hard for you to look after the child for so many years, and you miss my dad all the time but can't see him."

When Lin Cuixin heard this, she glared at him in reproach, "I didn't think about him!"

We are an old married couple, what's there to think about? This little bastard just keeps saying disgusting things!

Xiang Changlin laughed, "Okay, if you don't want to, my dad misses you, right, dad?"

Xiang Zhong raised his leg to kick him, cursing, "How dare you make fun of your parents, you little brat!"

Xiang Changlin dodged and said, "I am doing this for your own good. Think about it carefully. I will go back to my room first."

After the door was closed, Xiang Zhong turned his head to look at Lin Cuixin and asked her, "Don't you miss me?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Cuixin immediately pinched his waist, "Bah! You old man have no shame!"

How old is he? It's really embarrassing! He's so frivolous!

Xiang Zhong chuckled, then sighed, "Ah, my dear, I didn't expect that after spending half our lives together, we would be separated again when we are old!"

Lin Cui thought, "As long as the children are doing well, this doesn't matter."

Xiang Zhong nodded in agreement, "Yes, it's all for the children. Seriously, you really don't want to come back with me?"

Lin Cuixin shook her head. "If I don't go back, how can I be at ease when the store just opens? Qingqing will definitely be very busy, and Changlin will have to go to work and won't be able to help. How can Qingqing survive without someone around her? I've learned a few things from setting up the stall this year, so I can always help her keep an eye on things."

Xiang Zhong thought about it and realized that it was true. How could one run a business without someone close to him to help? "Okay then, you stay here and I'll go back to take care of the kids for the old family."

Lin Cuixin smiled and patted his hands, "When the store's business picks up, I'll go back and stay with you for a while!"

The children are grown up now, and they no longer have two eyes on them like when they were young, so it’s okay to let go appropriately.

Xiang Zhong smiled. His wife still had her own thoughts in her heart. "Okay, I'll wait for you to come home!"
