"What did you refuse?"
This was so abrupt and incoherent that Aunt Chi said she didn't understand it.
Old Man Chi seemed to understand something, but not quite, so he impatiently urged his son, "Explain it to me clearly!"
Is that what he meant?
Chi Tang also looked at her second brother with curiosity.
“Father, Mother, I have refused the promotion and petitioned His Majesty to allow me to continue serving as the magistrate of Longmen Town.”
Chi Erchuan's voice was firm and resounding.
For a moment, the air seemed to freeze.
Even Chi Tang didn't expect that Chi Erchuan would refuse the promotion!
"What did you just say? Erchuan, your dad is getting old and his hearing might not be very good. Say it again, or I think I might have misheard."
Old Man Chi smiled awkwardly.
The old man refused to accept the truth, so he looked at his son with expectant eyes, hoping that his son would tell him that what he had just said was a lie!
They're just teasing them.
"Yes, Erchuan, don't joke about things like this, your father can't stand it."
“Father, Mother, I’m not joking, I really did it.”
Chi Erchuan answered truthfully.
He wants to make his own decisions about his life.
How you live your life is up to you.
Before, he was full of vigor and ambition, wanting to be promoted and to be remembered in history.
But after arriving here, seeing the local people, and... her!
He changed.
He felt that he needed to stay here to realize his greatest value.
The purpose of passing the imperial examinations is not only to gain fame and fortune, but also to benefit the world!
He can change the lives of the people here now, so why give up?
"Son! Such a big matter, didn't you even think of discussing it with your father and me?"
Aunt Chi was furious!
She's her own mother!
Such a big thing, shouldn't the child at least tell them?
But……
"So, you weren't planning on telling us if your father and I hadn't come?"
Seeing his mother's hair standing on end, Chi Erchuan quickly comforted her, "Mom, what are you saying? Even if you and Dad came, you wouldn't know unless I told you."
Aunt Chi: ...
That statement seems to make no mistake.
But……
"You bastard!"
Aunt Chi was furious and gave her son a few hard slaps on the bottom.
Just like when I was a child.
But in front of his sister and nephew, Chi Erchuan felt a little embarrassed, touched his nose, and silently stood a little further away.
"Mother, don't be angry. Second brother is so old, he should have his own ideas."
Chi Tang hurriedly came out to calm the fire.
But this matter is too big; even if Chi Tang speaks out, it won't make a difference!
"Good, very good indeed. Chi Erchuan, you've grown up, you're an official now, and you don't even care about your parents anymore! Very good indeed!"
Old Man Chi was furious. He clutched his chest, feeling a sharp pain in his chest, and his face quickly turned pale.
Chi Erchuan hadn't expected his father to react so strongly, so he immediately helped his father sit down.
But as soon as his father settled down, he shoved him away!
"Get out of my way!"
"Get out of here."
The elderly couple had the same attitude.
Chi Tang quickly took out two Su Xin Jiu Xin pills and gave them to her father.
The room was filled with the sound of the old man's rapid breathing.
This time, before Aunt Chi could even do anything, Old Man Chi almost died of anger.
Chi Erchuan knelt at the door, his face serious: "Father, Mother, I really want to do something for the people here."
If I improve the performance of Longmen County, it is very likely that the next county magistrate will be someone who has been appointed to gain experience. What will happen to the people of Longmen County then?
Their lives were so hard, and they finally had hope, but what if I give up halfway...
"Bang!"
Before Chi Erchuan could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Old Man Chi slamming his fist on the table in a fit of rage.
"Old man, don't worry, don't worry."
Aunt Chi was terrified when she saw the old man's flushed face and the veins bulging on his forehead.
She had never seen her husband so angry before.
“Chi Erchuan! Is that what your mother and I are angry about? You have your ideals, your ideas, and you want to do practical things for the people! Your mother and I also come from poor families, how could we not understand?”
What angers us is that you didn't even consult us about such a big matter. Don't you even care about your parents?
Old Man Chi gave a bitter laugh, his whole body slumped, staring blankly at the ceiling, and said:
"That's true. Your mother and I are so useless and incompetent. Even if you told us, what advice could we possibly give you?"
You did the right thing! Your mother and I can't help you much, and it's also right that you didn't tell us.
Old Man Chi's face was full of painful self-mockery.
What more can be said about parents and children going to such lengths?
It can only be described as the parents' incompetence.
"Dad! I really didn't mean that!"
Chi Erchuan panicked and crawled on his knees to his father, pleading, "Father, I really didn't mean it that way, I, I just..."
"I'm just used to making my own decisions."
He really didn't think that much about it.
"Old man, how are you?"
"Let's go! Let's go!"
Old Man Chi was furious and wanted to leave.
In his view, he was still alive, his family had not split up, and there was no major conflict within the family.
The sons make their own decisions about small matters.
But for major events like getting married, getting promoted, or buying a house or land, the sons should talk to him about them!
