"I'm willing! I'll do my best!"
Han Kun's voice was a little choked up, and Han Qiang also wanted to cry.
"Alright then, actually, what happened that day was also my fault. I should have reminded you beforehand. That night, I even discussed it with my mother. I felt it wasn't appropriate for me to tell you this, so I wanted her to find an opportunity to talk to you about it. I just didn't expect Han Juhua to be in such a hurry. I'm sorry..."
Han Luoxue's words made the two men quickly shake their heads: "Xue girl, how can this be your fault? Who would have thought that child would be so bold!"
"That's right. Even if you had told us that day, we couldn't have prevented it! After all, there are doors in the house and the gate to the yard is locked. Who would have thought she would climb over the wall and come in?"
Han Kun also said.
"It's partly my fault, I'm glad you don't blame me! Grandpa Han Qiang, please make preparations, and when I leave, let Han Kun come with me, okay?"
According to seniority, Han Luoxue should call Han Kun "uncle." However, since they are about the same age, Han Luoxue actually finds it a bit hard to say it.
"Sure! We can leave anytime. Xiao Kun doesn't have much to pack!"
A smile finally returned to Han Qiang's face. He was the village head, and even he was starting to consider leaving.
However, he still has responsibilities to bear, so for the time being, he has to stay in this village.
After Han Luoxue left, the two exchanged a glance.
Han Qiang sighed, "We owe Xue'er even more!"
"Yes, Father, I will study hard. When I get there, I will learn everything as soon as possible and strive to be able to stand on my own!"
Han Qiang nodded quickly after hearing this: "That's right. Don't put too much pressure on yourself, just do your best! But I know you've been smart since you were little, you definitely won't let Xueya down!"
Han Kun nodded vigorously, feeling a surge of joy at the thought that he would soon be able to leave this village and no longer have to hear the gossip outside.
But when I think about my father still being in this village, without him by my side, I don't know what will happen to him in the future.
"Father, why don't you leave with me? Let's give the rightful place here to the original uncle."
Back in Hutouya Village, as the village leader, Han Qiang felt quite accomplished. But after leaving Hutouya Village and seeing the outside world, they realized it wasn't all that great.
What can one gain by working diligently in this village, toiling from dawn till dusk?
Actually, when you think about it, you don't get anything at all.
The two felt a pang of sadness. Han Qiang pondered for a moment and then sighed, "This matter isn't urgent for now. You should go out first and work with Xue'er. Try out the work outside and see if you can handle it. If you do well, then your father will go out and help you too."
“Xue has helped us many times already, we can’t keep troubling her! Xiao Kun, if you do well out there, that’s fine, but if you feel you can’t do it, then come back.”
People always have to interact with each other, and feelings are built through interaction. If her son doesn't do a good job, Han Luoxue is too proud to say anything, which is why a rift develops between them.
Rather than doing that, it would be better for him to come back on his own initiative, which would be a way to make things right for both of them.
Han Kun understood his father's meaning, and he nodded solemnly: "I will try my best to become independent as soon as possible!"
...
Yunniang also went to the city, leaving Han Mingyuan alone at home.
When he saw Han Luoxue return, he even rolled his eyes at her.
That daughter is heartless; she took her mother away, leaving him, a decrepit old man, all behind.
"Father, if you want to go to the capital, hurry up and train a successor. We'll transfer you to the capital soon!"
Han Mingyuan glared at Han Luoxue: "What would I have done there? I was promoted to this county magistrate through special procedures. If it weren't for your connections, I would still be farming in Hutouya Village!"
"But I feel you did a great job! Can you go and practice first? Daddy, you have to believe in yourself! You just didn't have the opportunity before, but now the opportunity is right in front of you. Don't you want to work hard to climb up?"
Han Mingyuan... This isn't like farming, where you get the hang of it after a while.
Why did he seem somewhat tempted by his daughter's words? Did he now also want to climb the social ladder?
"Let's talk about it later!"
Han Luoxue smiled and said, "I reckon there will be a major reshuffle at the Ministry of Revenue soon, and the next person to be promoted should be from the Zhou family. When that happens, you can go to the Ministry of Revenue to learn a thing or two!"
The Ministry of Revenue? Hearing this, Han Mingyuan felt a surge of excitement.
That's the most lucrative place in the entire country; they control the money and grain. And your daughter actually wants him to go there for training?
"This...isn't this inappropriate?"
"There's nothing inappropriate about it. Don't forget, you're my father. Don't you want to be your daughter's strong support?"
Han Mingyuan... How was he supposed to respond to that? He was a doting father to his daughter, and he would obey her unconditionally.
Seeing that her father didn't argue further, Han Luoxue covered her mouth and chuckled, "I believe Father would have handled things well in the future. Those things are nothing to you!"
Han Mingyuan... that hat you're wearing is a bit too big.
"Besides, my mother is in the capital. Don't you want to reunite with her? Once you're in the Ministry of Revenue, you can see her every day!"
Han Mingyuan... well, he was tempted.
He didn't know when his son would come back, and his youngest daughter was also away. The once lively and bustling home was now cold and quiet, and he really wasn't used to it.
Although he has been lonely for a long time, at least his wife was still by his side for a while, but now he is all alone.
Actually, thinking about it, he was quite good at being a county magistrate. He remembered that when he first arrived, he was completely clueless, but the people left behind by Ouyang Zhen were very capable, and in just a few days, he was able to get the hang of things.
Going to the Ministry of Revenue doesn't seem like a bad idea. After all, he's familiar with Zhou Yuan, and he's sure he can learn a lot from him.
"Whatever you want! Your father is relying on his daughter now. I'll go wherever you tell me to go!"
Hearing this, Han Luoxue was overjoyed: "Then you should arrange things here first. Make sure you pick something that's convenient and easy to use!"
...
The Zhou family's shops have been doing exceptionally well these past two days. The grain and oil shops, in particular, have been receiving pre-orders from various prominent families.
However, the Zhou family's food supply was also limited, and they even introduced new regulations that limited the amount they could buy.
This infuriated the families whose daughters wanted to enter the palace.
It's not that they don't have money; the Zhou family is just too old-fashioned in their business practices.
As a result, a different scene appeared outside.
