Chapter 237 On the Road
Jiang Mi comforted her mother, as she was also very reluctant to part with her. Once she had settled down in the capital, she planned to bring her entire family over so they could all live together there.
As a result, only she, her second brother, and her third brother are able to go to the capital together now.
“It’s alright. After my second and third brothers and I go to the capital and get to know the city, we’ll bring everyone over. Then our family can be reunited.”
Jiang Cheng nodded, very satisfied: "Our Jiang family is getting better and better. When I get to the afterlife, I can proudly tell our ancestors about our family's honor."
With two sons who excel in their studies and a daughter who is also very capable, other families must be incredibly envious.
"Of course, all the children in our family are outstanding."
Jiang Mu said with pride.
Jiang's mother was relieved that Jiang Yan wasn't there at the moment. Although he, as the eldest brother, would be happy for them, he would probably still feel very sad inside.
"Everyone, stop standing there, it's time to eat. After we finish eating, our three great contributors will be rushing to come tomorrow."
Liu He and Liang Lan brought the food to the table and started calling everyone to come and eat. Jiang Mi happily ran over to help.
"Thank you for your hard work, sisters-in-law."
"It's not hard work at all. We can eat meat every day now thanks to you. Otherwise, we would still be drinking vegetable soup every day."
The past was indeed tough, but it is precisely because of that past hardship that we have the sweetness we enjoy now.
Jiang Mi stayed with her mother for another night, and Jiang Cheng was naturally moved to another room. This time he didn't object, since his daughter was going on a long trip and he didn't know when they would see each other again.
"Mother, don't worry about me. I have my second and third brothers with me, and I'm quite capable myself. Others are afraid of me, not the other way around. Besides, Huo Ran is from the capital, so he'll protect me wherever I go."
Mentioning Huo Ran, Jiang's mother couldn't help but ask, "Daughter, I hope you're doing well. I know you like Huo Ran. He's indeed top-notch in character and appearance; any young girl would like him. But we don't know him well enough. If you really like him, when you go to the capital this time, learn more about his background and have your two brothers check him out too. Don't let him deceive you."
Knowing that her mother meant well, Jiang Mi didn't argue.
“Mother, you’re right. Don’t worry, I’m not one of those young girls who are crazy in love. In my eyes, making money is much more important than men. I have my own goals and I won’t change them for a man. Going to the capital was my original plan and has absolutely nothing to do with him.”
Jiang's mother felt both heartache and relief that her son could live so clearly and understandably.
"Good child, you know what's going on in your heart. I'd rather you never get married than marry the wrong person. I don't have any other pursuits in this life. I just hope that our family is well, healthy, and safe."
This was also Jiang Mi's idea, but on top of that, she also hoped that her family could live a better life.
Jiang Mi barely slept all night, fantasizing about what it would be like to be in the capital, and whether her choice was right or wrong. In fact, she had already achieved her initial wish.
She has enough money now to ensure her family lives a good life and that everyone is safe and healthy. This is enough for them to live comfortably for the rest of their lives, provided they don't have any further desires or needs.
However, people are never satisfied; once they have this, they want that.
The next morning, Jiang Xuan and Jiang Zhi packed their things. Liang Lan and Su Yindi were reluctant to see them leave, especially Su Yindi, who had just given birth. Jiang Zhi had stayed with her at home for more than ten days, but she still couldn't bear to leave with him.
"Once you leave, I don't know when we'll meet again. Please remember to come back and see me and the children."
Jiang Zhi gazed at his wife and child lying on the bed, his heart filled with reluctance. He gently stroked his son's face and said softly, "Son..."
"My son, stay home and listen to your mother. Your father will bring you and your mother to the capital soon. All my efforts now are so that you can have an easier life later. You must understand how hard it is for me."
Hearing this, Su Yindi felt very sorry for her: "You must take good care of yourself when you are away. Eat on time. Don't forget to eat because of studying. Make sure to get enough rest and don't stay up too late to study at night. You'll ruin your eyes."
Jiang Zhi touched Su Yindi's hand. Since becoming a father, he had matured a lot: "Don't worry, I know how to take care of myself. I'm a man, and a man should stand tall and upright. I won't fall down easily."
Su Yindi nodded. Although her family treated her very well, in her heart, she and Jiang Zhicai were her own little family, and they were the closest people to her.
Su Yindi was still in her postpartum confinement period, so she couldn't go out to see her off; she could only open the window and look outside.
When Jiang's mother saw this from outside, she quickly came over and closed the window: "Oh dear, you're still in your postpartum period. It's so cold outside. If you catch a cold, and develop a chronic illness, it could be a lifelong problem."
Su Yindi knew that Jiang's mother meant well, so she didn't insist on keeping the window open and just listened to the sounds outside from inside the room.
Jiang's mother and the others didn't plan to send these people from town. Su Yindi couldn't be left alone, but Liu He and Liang Lan were going to help out at the restaurant in town, so they went along with them.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, the three bid farewell to Jiang Yan.
Jiang Mi was very reluctant to part with her older brother. If it weren't for his sacrifices, they wouldn't be where they are today.
"Brother, once we've settled down, we'll bring you, your sister-in-law, and our parents with us so our family can reunite in the capital."
Jiang Mi had said this to him once before. Jiang Yan just smiled and said, "The capital is where the royal family and nobles live. It's not easy to survive there. It's not easy for you guys to survive there. I'm fine here. I won't go over and become a burden to you."
Jiang Mi quickly said, "Brother, what are you saying? We're family, there's no such thing as being a burden. Besides, I've opened a restaurant, and I need your help. There are so many things to take care of, I can't possibly manage them all."
Jiang Yan hesitated when he heard the restaurant's voice, but did not give them a definite answer.
"We'll talk about it when the time comes. When you get there, you must be careful and think things through before you speak or act."
