"I will never regret it. Even if your son is the only man left in this world, I will never regret my decision today!"
Old Mrs. Qiu once again made a harsh statement, she was betting that this family had no chance of turning their lives around, and her choice would not be wrong!
Wang Daniu got up from the ground. "Mom! Let's go, don't pay any more attention to them!"
Seeing that her son was able to get up, and that her other two sons also helped each other to their feet, Old Mrs. Qiu was heartbroken.
But given the current situation, getting compensation from the other party is definitely impossible. She can only suffer in silence, and tell her sons...
"Walk!"
So these people came quickly and left quickly, and watching their disheveled departure was incredibly satisfying.
Old Ji glanced at his son, and the disappointment in his eyes was unmistakable. His son was still reluctant to marry into this family.
The son is destined to be a burden for life; it's better to cut ties decisively.
"Don't be sad, I'll find you an even better wife!"
"I'm not getting married!" Ji Xianlin said.
Old Man Ji raised his hand and slapped his son hard across the face.
"What are you saying? How can you face me if you don't get married?"
"Dad, getting married is too tiring and requires so much money. Our family doesn't have that much money. It's better for me to stay single!" Ji Xianlin squatted down, dejected. "I think it's better to keep that money for your retirement. You can use it to pay for medical treatment, medicine, and buy some good food. Wouldn't that be better?"
Old Ji knew his son was filial, but he blamed himself for being useless. He hadn't paved the way for his son when he came of age, and the place was poor to begin with.
If my son can get a stable job, he can marry whichever girl he wants.
He looked up at Comrade Lu and said, "The transaction was interrupted just now, let's continue now."
Lu Zhixia took the money out of her bag, counted it herself, and then handed it to the other person, saying, "Please count the money to see if it's correct."
"No need to count, I trust you." Old Ji put the money he had taken out of the red paper into a thick stack.
Seeing his father suddenly have so much money, Ji Xianlin was deeply moved. He never imagined that his father, who had been poor all his life, would receive so much money from someone.
Looking at the man and woman in front of me, who exactly are they?
Lu Zhixia felt she should say a few more words before leaving, so she spoke to the old man.
"Don't waste this money. Renovate the house and then buy a job for your son."
“I know, if a person wants to be successful, he still needs to have some skills!” Old Ji turned around and took the bowl out of the jar, which was also a treasure he had cherished for several years.
I have no affinity with these things; I can only watch as the bowl is packed away.
Ji Xianlin then learned that his father had sold the bowls to earn the money, which deeply moved him. He then watched as the man and woman lifted the curtain and left.
Only the father and son remained in the room.
"Son! You've seen it yourself, our family is rich now. If you take some more money to propose marriage, you can even marry Wang Ni!"
“I won’t marry her. Her whole family is scum. I don’t want to cause you any more trouble,” Ji Xianlin said sensibly.
Old Man Ji waved his hand, "It's not a big deal. You've seen her family situation; they have too many brothers. Our family is different. We only have one son, you. If they bully you, they'll hold you back for life!"
Ji Xianlin clenched his fists tightly. "I understand everything you're saying, so I'm not going to get married."
Old Ji was very happy that his son was so sensible, so he gave him all the money he had, saying, "Take this money, renovate the house, and then find you a job."
"Father, I will do my best!" Ji Xianlin not only said it, but also intended to do so.
He was determined to make a name for himself for his father through his own efforts, and never let anyone look down on his family again!
——
Lu Zhixia and Gu Lingxiao arrived at the village chief's house and saw two women in the yard, one killing a chicken and the other scaling a fish.
They were so busy they didn't even look up when the dog barked; they were just focused on their work.
Village Chief Yuan came out of the house and, seeing them standing at the door, immediately went to greet them.
"If you don't come over soon, I'm going to go to Old Ji's house to look for someone."
Gu Lingxiao couldn't stand extravagance and waste, so he said to the village chief...
"I told you, anything is fine, but you're killing chickens and fish like this."
Knowing he was in the wrong, Village Chief Yuan put on a forced smile and said, "Since you're going to treat us, you should treat us well, otherwise it would be unfair to our friendship."
Gu Lingxiao couldn't do anything about it, so he could only say...
"That's all for now, don't make anything more, you're not exactly wealthy."
Village Chief Yuan knew there was no point in continuing, so he quickly agreed.
"Okay, just make these dishes. I won't let them make any more arrangements."
Soon they entered the main room and immediately saw a chubby boy sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed), wearing a red bib and open-crotch pants. He looked extremely cute.
Village Chief Yuan introduced him warmly, "This is my eldest grandson."
Looking at the chubby-cheeked child, Gu Lingxiao thought of Gu Huailin, who was just as adorable as he was when he was little, and whom he had taken care of for a period of time.
His family didn't agree to let him take the child back, so he had no choice but to hire a nanny to take care of him, and before he knew it, the child was all grown up.
In a few years, the child will be grown up, and then he can finally give his brother a proper account. He'll go see him one last time before boarding the train tomorrow, and maybe leave some meat tickets.
Lu Zhixia couldn't resist picking up the baby, who immediately burst into laughter, looking even cuter.
