Gao Zhijun asked Hongyue and Moxue to take the children out to play, while Huo Jinqian took Luo Mingkuan and Ji Guansen to chat in his yard.
Gao Zhijun, Gao Zhishan, Gao Zhiyi and Gao Zhidan were left here.
"Big sister, second sister, third sister, have you been living well in Taizhou these past few months? How's your business?"
Gao Zhijun asked Gao Zhiyi, Gao Zhishan and Gao Zhidan.
"The business is good, I can support my family, and I don't have to run around looking for work."
Gao Zhishan said.
The grocery store she opened was doing pretty well. In addition to selling her own embroidered handkerchiefs, she also bought handkerchiefs from the women in Leshan Village to sell in order to cover the family expenses.
"That's not bad. At least I don't have to worry about going hungry!"
"Sister, what about you?"
Gao Zhijun asked Gao Zhiyi.
Three cousins, this one is a bit miserable, having to raise a pair of children by one woman.
"Yes, the grocery store business is doing well and can support two children."
Gao Zhiyi said gratefully.
She had never been so happy, so content.
Although running a grocery store is hard work, I am already very satisfied as long as I have my two children by my side and am able to raise them.
"Did that scumbag give you any trouble later?"
This is what Gao Zhijun is most worried about.
Before leaving Taizhou, she asked Huo Jinzhou and Xie Taifu to help take care of her. If that scumbag came to make trouble, she would ask Chu Zhifu to help.
"Of course not. I don't know where he got the news from, but when he found out you left Taizhou, he brought his parents over to make a scene. Luckily, your eldest brother Huo Jinzhou helped and sent them to jail. No one has made a scene since then."
Gao Zhidan explained.
My eldest sister’s husband is such a scumbag. He brought people to cause trouble.
"I'm glad you're okay!"
My brother is so awesome. He helped me. I will thank him someday.
"Third sister, how about you?"
Gao Zhijun asked Gao Zhidan.
This cousin's family is okay, and she doesn't have any bad or weird relatives.
Only my parents-in-law are decent people.
"My business is OK. My parents-in-law help me. The porridge and noodle shop business is OK. It's not a problem to support the family."
Gao Zhidan said with a smile on her face.
She is very lucky. Her husband is a good person, and her parents-in-law are also good people, so her life is happy.
"You all have your own life now, have you ever considered living in the capital?"
The original owner's relatives, apart from her biological parents and her adoptive family, only consisted of three cousins and nephews.
Her nephew grew up by her side, and she wanted to help her three cousins to the best of her ability.
The eldest sister broke off relations with the Ren family, and it would be very inconvenient for her to live with two children. It would be better to leave them in the capital so that she could take care of them herself.
My second sister's family also separated from my parents-in-law and my uncle's family. She lives in the capital with her husband and children. If there is anything, I can help her.
My third sister's family is simpler. Her parents-in-law are good people and treat her well. If she stays in the capital, she can bring her parents-in-law up with her.
If her three sisters were willing to live in the capital, she could give each of them a three-story courtyard and a shop for them to do business. She could also send their children to study at the Imperial Academy, which would be of great benefit to their future.
"Living in Beijing? No, the prices here are too high. We can't afford to live here! We can't afford to spend money there either!"
"Yes, we have a shop in Taizhou, and business is going well. We prefer to live a simple life in Taizhou."
"Yes! My parents-in-law are old, but they live peacefully in Taizhou."
Gao Zhiyi, Gao Zhishan, and Gao Zhidan all opposed living in the capital.
The housing prices and land prices here are too high, and the prices of goods are also very high.
If they lived in the capital, with their current wealth, they probably wouldn't be able to survive for even a month.
"Think about it, if they live in the capital, it will be very beneficial to their future. I can send them to the Imperial Academy. For the sake of their future, think about it."
Gao Zhijun persuaded her three sisters that staying in the capital was the best option for the sake of their children.
Although they had never been to the Imperial College, they knew that it was the highest institution of learning in Daliang.
Of course they hoped that their children could study in the Imperial College, but they really couldn't afford it.
“But…but…”
Gao Zhiyi really couldn't speak, she couldn't say that she had no money.
Gao Zhishan and Gao Zhidan also looked embarrassed. They were short of money and could not afford the rope. Even if they did, they would not have enough money to live on.
"But what? If you have any difficulties, tell us and we can discuss it together."
Gao Zhijun asked Gao Zhiyi.
There is no difficulty that cannot be solved with money.
Gao Zhiyi still found it difficult to speak, so Gao Zhishan spoke for her, saying, "The difficulty you're talking about is money. We can't afford the tuition, let alone rent a house."
Gao Zhijun was stunned and looked at them in shock. It turned out that it was because of money.
I seem to have forgotten that I had to buy a yard and a shop for them.
"This matter is my fault. I didn't explain it clearly. If you lived in the capital, I would give each of you a yard and a shop so that you could live."
Gao Zhijun said, "To her now, money is just a string of numbers."
"No, you've already helped us a lot. We can't trouble you anymore."
"Yes, I can't trouble you anymore. Otherwise, let's go back to Taizhou and work hard for a few more years. When we have enough money, we can come back to the capital to send our son to study at the Imperial College."
"I know my sister has money. You earned it with your hard work. We can't take your money anymore."
Gao Zhiyi, Gao Zhishan and Gao Zhidan all refused.
"That's all right! Money isn't important to me; family is what matters most. We're a family, so there's no need to be fussy about it. It's settled. After my coming-of-age ceremony, I'll start buying you a yard and a shop."
It doesn't matter whether you want to go back to your old business or start another one.
As for the shops in Taizhou, you guys can decide whether to sell the goods or hire someone to look after the shops.
Third sister can ask her husband to go back and bring his parents up. Second sister can also use the business in Taizhou to sever ties with your parents-in-law completely. Then, when you live in the capital, you won't have to worry about them causing trouble or extorting money.
Gao Zhijun gave her three sisters a small suggestion, but whether to adopt it or not was up to them.
Gao Zhijun's words made Gao Zhiyi and the others feel a little moved.
As a mother, how could she not want her children to live a good life, for her son to be able to read and write, take the imperial examinations, and have a good future for himself?
"Thank you, sister. When we have money in the future, we will definitely return it to you. If the children achieve success, they will definitely not forget your great kindness to them."
After much consideration, Gao Zhiyi and her two sisters agreed to let Gao Zhijun buy a yard and a shop for them.
"Okay, I'll wait for my nephews to pass the imperial examination and come to be filial to me."
Gao Zhijun said jokingly.
With her current status, she doesn't need to rely on anyone. With money, power and influence, few dare to offend her.
"They will, and if they don't, I'll break their legs."
The three Gao Zhiyi sisters assured in unison.
They won't let them be ungrateful.
"Okay, I believe it!"
Gao Zhijun said.
