Repaying the debt of gratitude was solely Xu Weijie's business and had nothing to do with the Xu family. He also emphasized that principles could not be violated; for him, a mere county magistrate, helping them without compromising his principles was a promise that meant nothing at all.
However, neither of them originally intended to seek repayment for their kindness. Han Yunqi had a sudden inspiration and joked, "Then I really do have something I'd like to inquire about. If you can reveal some information, then our debt of gratitude will be settled."
"Oh? I'd like to hear more." Xu Weijie paused for a moment, his eyes flashing slightly, before asking calmly.
"Isn't there a Xingsheng Building Materials Market in our D City? I wonder if there are any plans to demolish that land in the next few years?"
Upon hearing this, Han Shiping and Guo Mingli immediately perked up their ears.
Xu Weijie hadn't expected him to ask this, and after a moment's thought, he said, "As far as I know, that piece of land was developed by the government and leased to merchants; the shops are not sold to individuals."
He thought Han Yunqi wanted to hoard properties before the demolition and make a profit from the demolition compensation.
After all, this family looks quite wealthy.
Han Yunqi knew he had misunderstood and laughed, "I don't want to buy the shop. My family rents a storefront over there to sell building materials. If it's going to be demolished in the future, moving this business will definitely have a big impact. If we can prepare in advance, we can reduce the losses."
"I see." Xu Weijie pondered for a moment. "The official document hasn't been issued yet, so no one can say for sure."
"However... there's no harm in preparing early," he concluded.
When he said that, everyone present understood.
The document hasn't been officially issued, but there are rumors circulating.
It's almost certainly true.
Han Shiping and Guo Mingli were completely relieved and quickly began to think about their next plan.
Compared to the debt of gratitude for saving my life, this trivial news is utterly insignificant. The debt of gratitude is too easily repaid.
However, neither side dwelled on it any further.
A debt of gratitude can be remembered for a lifetime if the person involved wants to, and it can never be fully repaid.
If the person doesn't want to remember, reminding them won't help.
Xu Weijie and his family of three had also brought their daughter out for a stroll. They had spent the morning wandering around the park and then chatted with Han Yunqi's family for so long. Guoguo was already dozing off in Jiang Suyue's arms. Xu Weijie raised his hand to look at his watch, then got up to say goodbye.
After seeing them off for a while, the group returned. Instead of rushing home, they continued to stroll around the park for the rest of the afternoon, finally dragging their tired legs back home around 5 p.m.
Considering that the elderly people had been walking all day and were no match for the younger people, Tang Xiaoxiao took over as driver from her father and drove home with Han Yunqi in their own car.
Over the next two days, they visited famous attractions such as museums and Wanfo Temple. The elders showed great interest in these historically significant places and enjoyed their visit immensely.
After staying in City D for three days, Tang's parents returned to City A on the morning of the fourth day.
Tang Xiaoxiao and Han Yunqi stayed an extra day, leaving the two babies in Guo Mingli's care, and then took the time to inspect the tea company's situation.
Of the 14 prefecture-level cities in Province L, eight now have "Xiaoqi's Tea" franchise stores, and the four counties closest to City D have also been covered.
Due to the brand's regional protection policy, a maximum of two franchise stores can be opened in a county-level city, and the four county-level cities are already saturated.
At the same time, Tang Xiaoxiao's chain of fruit and vegetable stores and chilled meat specialty stores have also spread throughout major residential areas of D City.
However, the fruit and vegetable store and the chilled meat specialty store are managed by the ecological agricultural technology company, while "Xiaoqi's Tea" is an independent brand created through the collaboration between the two, and is not managed by the ecological company. Instead, it has a separate person in charge.
