"What? We're going to the capital? What about the shops here?"
Ji Tianming asked his son Ji Guansen.
The store’s business is so good, it would be a shame not to run it.
"Dad, another reason I came back this time is to sell the shop. I'm going to the capital with the money to open a shop."
Ji Guansen said.
"Son, tell me the truth, why do you suddenly want to live in the capital? I heard that prices there have skyrocketed, and the money we have is not enough to cover our expenses."
After thinking about it, Ji Tianming asked his son seriously.
It's not that they can just go to the capital. They have a large family that needs food and shelter, and everything costs money, which is simply unaffordable.
"Dad, it's for the child's future. Zhidan's cousin said that if we stay in the capital, she will help the child go to the Imperial College. Jun'er is too young to go to school now, but in three years, he can be sent to elementary school. Moreover, Zhidan's two cousins have also settled in the capital and are doing business there. So, Zhidan doesn't want to be separated from them. This time, my son has returned with my second brother-in-law, Luo Mingkuan. He came back to give the shop to Uncle Luo as a way of repaying their kindness in raising him. I'm afraid we'll never have the chance to see each other again."
Ji Guansen told his parents that settling in Beijing was for their children's future. He also mentioned that his wife's three sisters also lived in Beijing.
"What? He didn't bring his parents up there. What an unfilial son."
Cai Jiao said angrily.
They say raising a son is a way to prepare for old age! Raising a son is a way to prepare for old age! But he had grown up and gone to the capital to enjoy his life, leaving the elderly couple at home. If it were her son, she would have beaten him to a pulp.
"Mother, you can't say that. Every family has its own problems. Look at his daughter Kong Meixue. Who would dare to take her to the capital? The capital is full of civil and military officials, and wealthy businessmen. With her arrogant personality, I wonder how many people she will offend? Isn't this bringing a disaster with you? Besides, she offended her cousin Zhijun during the New Year last year. There is no way she will be allowed to go up there."
Ji Guansen is not Luo Mingkuan and cannot empathize with him.
He felt very sorry for him. If he also had a family like this, he would not be able to endure it. Fortunately, his parents were sensible, kind to Zhidan, and loved their grandchildren, so their family was happy and harmonious.
"My dear, Guansen is right. That troublesome Kong Meixue in his family is really a headache."
Although Ji Tianming has not read much, he is very sensible.
I know Luo Mingkuan is in trouble, but I am powerless to change it.
"That woman is not good, but he can take the two elders of the Luo family to the capital."
Cai Jiao thought of Kong Meixue making trouble in the village, and also knew that this person was not suitable to go to the capital.
Otherwise, I don’t know what will happen.
However, instead of taking that woman with you, you can take the two elders to the capital, so that they will have company.
"Mom, if the two elders go with them, his second son's family will definitely find ways to follow them to the capital. If his second son's family doesn't go to the capital, Uncle Luo and the others may not be willing to leave his second son's family to follow his second brother-in-law. So the best way is to leave the two elders behind and leave the shop to them, so that he can live a worry-free life here."
Ji Guansen talked about Luo Mingkuan’s difficulties.
It's not that he doesn't want to be filial, but his family is in a mess and he can't do anything even if he wants to.
"My dear, every family has its own problems. This is the Luo family's affair and has nothing to do with us. Don't discuss who is right or wrong."
"Guansen, where will we stay when we get to the capital? And how much money will it cost to open a shop?"
Ji Tianming asked about his biggest concern, which was the place to live and the shop in the capital. They had no business in the capital and could not survive at all.
"Dad, Zhidan's cousin said that she would buy a yard and a shop for each of the three Zhidan sisters. We'll have a place to live when we move in, and they should have bought the shop by now."
Ji Guansen comforted his parents and told them not to worry, saying that everything was ready.
"You must remember her kindness. When your life gets better in the future, you must return the money to her."
Cai Jiao was grateful for everything Gao Zhijun had done for their family. Without her, they would not have been able to survive in the capital.
"Don't worry, mother. When our lives are stable, I will return the money to her. When my son becomes successful in the future, I will ask him to repay her great kindness."
Ji Guansen has not forgotten the kindness Gao Zhijun has shown to their family, and he will definitely repay her when he has the chance.
"When are you going to sell the shop, and when are we going to the capital?"
Ji Tianming asked his son.
"Dad, let's go to the market tomorrow and sell it as soon as possible. My eldest cousin also asked me to sell her shop as well, so it might take some time."
Ji Guansen said he wanted to help Gao Zhiyi sell the shop.
"Dad and Mom, we're going to the capital and may not come back. Why don't we give this house to the village and give it to the village chief so that someone in need can live there? We've been so grateful to the villagers for taking care of us during our stay in Leshan Village. This house is made of thatched grass and isn't worth much, so consider it a way to repay the villagers. Dad, Mom, what do you think?"
Ji Guansen thought about the house. We were going to live in Beijing, and unless something unexpected happened, it would be impossible for us to come back here.
Even if I come back then, I will come back with the princess to take a look.
At that time, I must have gone to live in Huojia Village.
It would be better to give the house to the villagers for public use, so that those who need it can move in temporarily.
"I have no objection!"
Ji Tianming said that the villagers helped build this house, and now that it has been returned to the village, it can be considered as returning the property to its original owner.
After all, this kind of thatched house is not worth much, and those small things are of no use at all.
"That's fine with me. Let's talk to the village chief before we leave."
Cai Jiao had no objection, and the matter was over.
