Cheng Shun sighed in his heart, forget it, it’s good that the person is back. The father and daughter of the Gu family are both gone, and they are also the child’s mother and grandfather. What’s the point in pursuing these things?
"Stop crying! You used to be so capable, why are you acting like a sissy now?"
After Cheng Kang finished telling what had happened over the years, Cheng Shun pushed him and said with disgust.
"I'm just sad, aren't I? Shunzi, I'm old now, not as good as I was when I was young!"
Cheng Kang sat down on the ground, his feet numb from kneeling.
"You make it sound like you're much older than me. You're older, and I'm still young, huh?"
Cheng Shun also sat down and gave Cheng Kang a blank look.
"Uh... Shunzi, you've changed."
Cheng Kang said.
"How can I not change? My parents passed away one after another, and my cruel eldest brother ran away with the family money, leaving me, a scholar who knows nothing, with dozens of acres of land. He didn't even consider whether I would be bullied and the land would be taken away by someone. If I don't change, I will have no choice but to follow my parents!"
Cheng Shun sighed.
"Shunzi, I'm sorry!"
Cheng Kang apologized.
"There's nothing to be sorry about. I've made it through, haven't I? And I just gave you a beating, so I've calmed down. From now on, just remember that every year during the ancestral worship, you're the one to preside over it. You're the eldest son, so that's your job. I'm the young master, and I was born to enjoy life."
Cheng Shun smiled.
"Hahaha, you, you just said you've changed, but it turns out you haven't changed at all!"
Cheng Kang was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
It’s great that Shunzi forgave him.
This matter of ancestor worship was originally his business.
"What a joke! I'm telling you, no matter who you are now, this place is your roots. Your parents have lived here for over thirty years, don't even think about moving them. If you don't come during the holidays, your son will have to come in person!"
Cheng Shun cursed and then said.
"Yes, yes, that's natural. For so many years, I have been worshipping the wrong ancestors. It's my fault. Tomorrow I will find someone to take care of our parents' graves. Then I will buy a piece of land and build an ancestral hall. I will put the ancestral tablets there to protect our Cheng family for generations to come!"
Cheng Kang said proudly.
Cheng Shun pursed his lips and said nothing.
He had this idea before.
"Shunzi, look, I'm an uncle now. Why don't you take the children and move to the capital? Isn't Wu the head constable in the government office? I'll ask the emperor for a reward and find a job for Wu in the government office in the capital. Jin Yan and Jin Xing are taking the imperial examinations, and the other is taking the martial arts examination. There are many good teachers in the capital. I've let you down over the years, but now I'm back, and I'll protect you from now on!"
"When I left with so much money, wasn't it because I was hoping to become successful one day, bring honor to our family, and live a better life with you? Although we had some accidents, we are still in good health. I can still take you out for a good twenty or thirty years!"
Cheng Kang moved closer to Cheng Shun and said.
“Who cares!”
Cheng Shun rolled his eyes at him.
"Shunzi, this isn't a question of whether you want it or not. Half of my glory should be yours. Even though I'm just an Earl, and can't compare to those marquises and dukes, I'm in the capital, and everyone has to give me face. If you go, as long as you don't offend the emperor, I'll cover for you!"
Cheng Kang put his arm around Cheng Shun's shoulders and said.
When one person succeeds, the whole family will prosper.
