Chapter 97 The Question of Going Back or Staying
"I haven't even built a grave or a mourning hall, where are you going to burn incense for me?"
Pei Yanli said that he would wait for her until he saw her body.
So there was no grave for her.
Why did Qin Yan burn incense for her first?
"I have worshipped in the direction of Cheng's house several times."
Qin Yan touched his nose awkwardly and poured tea for the two of them again.
"But it's good that you're not dead. You have no idea what hardship Shengjing City has been through in the past two months."
Ever since Cheng Shuyi became critically ill, several of her shops have closed.
In Shengjing City, you can’t eat fresh fruits and vegetables, refined rice and white flour from RT-Mart, you can’t use pulp paper, and you can’t eat Shengjing Yiwei hot pot.
They don’t know how uncomfortable it is!
This was clearly how they had been doing before Cheng Shuyi opened the store.
Now they are all spoiled by Cheng Shuyi.
Qin Yan ordered someone to go to the storehouse and find the silver and deeds that Cheng Shuyi had entrusted to him. "Please count them. Can we open the shop tomorrow?"
Cheng Shuyi laughed: "I haven't recovered yet, you treat me like a beast of burden."
Qin Yan refused to give up. "Even if the shop can't open, could Mr. Cheng, for the sake of our friendship, send some fruit and paper to my Qin Mansion? I'm almost going crazy!"
There was already a shortage of fruit in the Great Sheng Dynasty, and winter was approaching.
It is even more difficult to have a bite.
And he really needs that pulp paper!
I can't live without paper!
Cheng Shuyi was very grateful to Qin Yan for his generosity in returning the shop to her.
According to the deed they signed earlier, the inheritance could only be taken away after another eleven years, when the two children grew up.
If he gave it to her without saying anything now, it wouldn't be considered a breach of contract on her part.
Cheng Shuyi naturally wanted to thank him, "Okay, next time I go to buy some goods, I'll send you a batch first."
-
Cheng Shuyi took back the shop and was sitting by the window thinking about reopening it.
RT-Mart is still a department store.
The ice shop next door was too cold to use, so she planned to use it to sell charcoal.
I wonder if the competition in the charcoal market in the Great Sheng Dynasty is fierce?
Is it like what is shown on TV, where each government and each government office distributes charcoal according to their quota, and some of it cannot even be used?
If that's the case, she can still make some money.
Selling ice in the summer, selling charcoal in the winter, and supplying Shengjing with a dish, it kills three birds with one stone.
Just as she was thinking about it, Pei Yanli pushed open her door and walked in.
"The child is sleeping..."
Cheng Shuyi naturally looked up and asked about the children. They took turns tutoring them with their homework and getting them to sleep.
It's Pei Yanli's turn tonight.
When she saw Pei Yanli's outfit, her voice suddenly rose, "Why aren't you wearing any clothes? Aren't you cold?"
Pei Yanli was only wearing a pair of underwear, showing off his beautiful chest muscles, abdominal muscles, biceps, and the most seductive mermaid line.
All of them swayed with his approaching footsteps!
He is tall and has a slender figure, so even if he has muscles, he doesn't look big and bulky.
Instead, his masculine characteristics and male hormones are displayed everywhere!
Cheng Shuyi couldn't look away.
There was a lecherous smile on her face, like she was seeing a male model. She tried hard to suppress it, but couldn't.
Pei Yanli carefully studied her expression, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Didn't you say that I only need to wear one pair of pants when I'm at home?"
He leaned down close to her face and lowered his voice: "Does it look good?"
Cheng Shuyi's eyes moved boldly over him. He nodded as he looked at him, and even wanted to whistle.
Pei Yanli stretched out his thumb to wipe the saliva from the corner of her mouth and teased her, "What a shame! You're so good just by looking at me. What would happen if you really ate it?"
Cheng Shuyi really thought he was drooling.
Wipe it hastily with the back of your hand.
It turned out to be fake.
Pei Yanli's joke succeeded and he laughed. Then he changed the subject and asked her a very serious question.
"Shuyi, do you want to go back?"
"Where are you going back to?" Cheng Shuyi was still glancing at his figure. "Back to Yun City?"
"Um."
Pei Yanli's mood calmed down.
Ever since returning from there, he had been wanting to ask her this question.
Cheng Shuyi was seriously ill and dying, so he had no choice but to come to Shengjing to seek him out for his care.
In other words, if she was in good health, she would never come here, and he would never know that he had two children.
Now that she's better, there's no reason for her to stay here, right?
So Pei Yanli has been very nervous and scared these days, afraid that she would suddenly appear and take the two children away.
And he will be left alone.
I will never be able to go to Yun City again, and I will never see the three of them again.
Instead of wondering whether she will leave, it is better to ask her directly.
So, Pei Yanli came.
Cheng Shuyi rested his chin on the table with one hand, "I've actually considered this issue and made some comparisons. I still think staying in Shengjing is more cost-effective."
Hope flashed in Pei Yanli's eyes, "Why?"
Cheng Shuyi began to give him her reasons.
"The first thing is how to settle down after I go back. I have quite a bit of money now. If converted into the money we have here, buying a house and a car is not a problem, but how to continue to earn money to live is a big problem."
"The overall environment where we live is not good right now, and it's hard to make money."
"Of course I can sell things from Shengjing in Yun City, just like I sell things from Yun City in Shengjing."
"But things of unknown origin are strictly controlled in our area. If I'm not careful, I could end up in jail."
It’s still a system problem.
Cheng Shuyi is just an ordinary citizen. If he had no background, it would be easy for him to get into trouble.
"Then there's the issue of children's education. The educational resources there are indeed much better than here, but at the same time, the pressure is also great."
"That's too much! I still hope that Qiqi Xuxu can relax, be happy, and enjoy her studies, rather than losing her right to enjoy life just to get a good job when she grows up."
"Besides, with you as their father, the regent, Qiqi and Xuxu don't need to study to have a better future. They have already defeated many people."
"If the purpose of studying is simply to understand the truth, distinguish right from wrong, and be a good person, then you can study anywhere."
"As for medical facilities, I can take them back anytime. I haven't cancelled the identity information of the two children yet, and I will take them back to update it later."
"Even if they want to broaden their horizons and travel abroad, I can spare a month or two to accompany them."
“It’s not a big deal.”
She gave a lot of reasons why she chose to stay, but she didn't mention him.
Pei Yanli went from expectation to disappointment.
"What about this king?"
“You…”
Cheng Shuyi deliberately prolonged his voice to whet his appetite.
"Actually, the most important reason is you. If you come back with me, you will no longer be a prince, but just an ordinary person."
"Without our degree, you can't pursue a career in government. You can only go into business."
"But as I said earlier, business is tough over there. It's almost impossible for you to climb back to where you are now."
Cheng Shuyi spread his hands and shrugged.
"So why should my child and I give up the wealth and prosperity you can offer us now and go back to suffer?"
"I can go back anytime, so why not just focus on living here, earn money in Shengjing, and go to Yun City to eat, drink, and have fun? Isn't that good?"
Pei Yanli had no way to refute this reason.
But he felt much more at ease.
"Since Shuyi wants to go back often to eat, drink and have fun, why don't we buy a house there and make it our second home?"
Pei Yanli's words reminded her.
Cheng Shuyi gave him a thumbs up: "You're right, we must buy it!"
Pei Yanli immediately asked her for an opportunity: "When you buy a house, I will go with you to see it."
He hasn't gotten to know the place well enough yet.
He wants to see the world on his phone.
