Upon returning to the city, Feng Haidong did not go directly to a restaurant, but instead went to his parents-in-law's house first.

Although I wasn't away for a whole week, I still hadn't seen my son for many days.

Moreover, Feng Haidong is about to raise money to go to the provincial capital, so he may not be able to spend time with his son for a while.

So he still hopes to see his son first and have a good talk with him.

When I arrived at my parents-in-law's house, the family was having dinner.

Everyone was quite surprised to see Feng Haidong return.

Lu Chengzong asked, "Didn't you say you were going to be gone for a week? Haidong, why are you back first?"

Feng Haidong looked at his father-in-law and said, "Dad, I came back first. Wanling's condition is stable. My third cousin is taking care of her in the provincial capital, so I brought my parents back first."

Lin Guojin asked, "Did Yueyue come back with your parents, or did she stay in the provincial capital?"

Feng Haidong replied to his mother-in-law: "Yueyue is staying in the provincial capital. Wanling wants Yueyue to stay with her. My third cousin also likes Yueyue very much, and my third cousin's daughter also helps take care of Yueyue."

Lu Chengzong looked his son-in-law up and down and asked seriously, "Haidong, is there something you need that brought you back early?"

Feng Haidong did not hide anything from his parents-in-law. In front of his son, he told them about his plan to open a shop in the provincial capital.

“My older cousin and brother-in-law have been laid off in the provincial capital. I looked around near the pedestrian street and found two suitable shops. I came back to raise money to rent the shops in the provincial capital and open a branch with my older cousin.”

Although Lu Chengzong could tell that his son-in-law had some ulterior motives for returning early, he was still somewhat surprised to hear what his son-in-law said.

The mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and son were even more surprised.

Feng Qifan couldn't help but ask, "Dad, are you going to do business in the provincial capital in the future?"

Feng Haidong looked at his son and replied, "I should be gone for a while. At the beginning, Dad will go and teach your aunt in the provincial capital some techniques for grilling fish. Once your aunt has mastered them, Dad will come back."

Feng Qifan then asked, "Dad, can I come along?"

Feng Haidong said with some helplessness, "You still have to go to school, so you probably can't go for the time being."

Lu Chengzong suddenly spoke up: "Let's eat first. Haidong, grab your bowl and sit down to eat. We can talk about this after we've eaten."

Feng Haidong responded and went to get a bowl to serve himself rice.

Sit down and finish dinner with your father-in-law, mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and son.

After finishing the meal and clearing the table.

Feng Haidong sat down face to face with his parents-in-law and began to seriously discuss his plan to open a branch store in the provincial capital.

His mother-in-law asked, "Haidong, isn't it a bit too hasty for you to open a branch in the provincial capital now? Although your family restaurant is doing very well now, and it's still doing well even when you're not there, you might be away for a long time if you go to the provincial capital. Are you sure there won't be any problems with your family restaurant?"

Before Feng Haidong could speak, his father-in-law said, "Haidong, it's good that you want to seize the opportunity and expand your business as soon as possible, but you can't just rush into it. You need to think it through carefully."

Facing his parents-in-law, Feng Haidong said earnestly, "Mom and Dad, I know it might be a bit rushed to go to the provincial capital now, but many things can't be done well just because you're fully prepared. Many opportunities are fleeting, and you have to seize them first."

Then Feng Haidong analyzed the current situation.

“The provincial capital is currently developing rapidly, with various buildings under construction in many parts of the city. I think this is a good opportunity. We can’t wait until the provincial capital is fully built before we go there, otherwise many things may no longer be available for us to do.”

When Feng Haidong said this, his parents-in-law felt that it made a lot of sense.

Feng Haidong continued, "Mom and Dad, I have a certain advantage now. Not many people are making grilled fish and spicy crab yet, so they should be considered novelties in the provincial capital. Moreover, next year my brother-in-law will be working with the villagers to raise fish, which will guarantee my supply."

In the summer, I was able to get my crayfish business going in the provincial capital. I think these are my advantages for now, but they won't last forever.

Once more people discover the business opportunity and start doing these things themselves, my advantage will not be as significant.

Feng Haidong's analysis of himself convinced his parents-in-law even more.

In his parents-in-law's eyes, Feng Haidong clearly had a good understanding of himself, which reassured the elderly couple.

After thinking for a moment, the father-in-law asked, "Haidong, how much money do you think you'll need to open a branch in the provincial capital? Do you have enough funds available right now?"

Feng Haidong said earnestly, "Dad, I've calculated it. The biggest initial investment will probably be in rent. The actual investment in other areas won't be that big. I need to keep some of the money I have for Wanling. The remaining money will be a bit tight, so I'm thinking of taking out another loan."

When Feng Haidong said he planned to take out another loan, his parents-in-law were somewhat surprised.

My mother-in-law asked, "Haidong, are you still planning to take out a loan? Have you paid off that previous loan?"

Feng Haidong nodded and said, "Mom, the previous loan should be paid off by the end of the year."

My mother-in-law said, "In that case, why don't you wait until the end of the year to pay off that loan, and then take out a new loan next year to go to the provincial capital?"

Actually, although my mother-in-law's approach is conservative, it is also more reliable.

If he does it this way, Feng Haidong will be under less pressure, and by the end of the year he can run the family restaurant even better. He can even go to the provincial capital without too many worries after the child is born and the child's affairs are settled.
