Chapter 210: This old mother is worried to death
He Zheng took a deep breath.
"The Third Master said he wanted to hand over all his assets to me!"
After saying this, Erhe's voice was not heard from the other end of the phone for a long time.
He Zheng was very anxious. "Wife, wife, are you still listening? Say something."
"He Zheng, tell me the truth, is there something wrong with the Third Master's brain? Otherwise, he wouldn't have made such an unwise decision to hand over the family business to you? Isn't he afraid that you will squander it all?" Although these words were hurtful, Erhe really couldn't help it.
She never disliked He Zheng. He Zheng had his own advantages, but the Third Master had such a huge network of relationships and industries. How could he hand them over to He Zheng?
She was really worried that He Zheng would squander all of this money.
He Zheng was silent, and Erhe subconsciously wondered if she had said something too harsh and whether she should reflect on it.
Then he heard He Zheng's muffled voice coming from the microphone, "Actually, I have the same concern. Third Master said he can take me, so I'll give it a try. If I really can't do it, then I'll pack up and go back. I'm not cut out for this job, and I can't be greedy for the money."
Erhe still agrees with this statement.
"So, you're going to stay in the capital for a while?"
He Zheng suddenly became depressed again, "Yes, wife, I can't go back to the provincial capital for the time being."
Erhe was a little confused by the fact that they were separated for such a long time. The news came suddenly and she was not mentally prepared. At first, she thought that they would be separated for a week at most.
The hand holding the phone tightened, "Then you should study hard with Third Master in Beijing. This opportunity is rare, so don't let Third Master down. Also, since you are in Beijing, please take good care of Third Master. I may not be able to find time to visit you before the college entrance examination. After the exam is over, I will go to Beijing to see you, or you can come to see me."
"That's a deal."
This is the only way we can do now. Even making a phone call requires making an appointment in advance, so it is really difficult to meet in person.
Erhe also thinks so. Now the two of them are working hard for their future, which is a very inspiring thing.
In this era, many couples are separated. Many of them work in the city, while their wives live in the countryside. Aren’t they also separated?
"Yeah. That's about it. I'm going to hang up first. I'll write to you later."
"Wait, wife, there's something else." He Zheng is in this state of mind now. He is forced to separate from his wife, so he has to drag Li Dong into it too. It's not fair that the newlyweds are reunited with their spouses, but he is left alone!
Besides, didn’t Li Dong also say that he wanted to make a living and let Zou Zhou and his sister Li Xi live a good life?
The opportunity is here!
"Are you saying that Li Dong should go to Beijing as well?" Er He immediately thought of Zou Zhou. "He and Zou Zhou have only been married for a few months. Wouldn't it be too..."
"Wife, this is your fault. If a real man doesn't go out to explore the world, how can he support his wife? Besides, if Zou Zhou marries Li Dong, and Li Dong is an incompetent man who stays in the countryside farming, won't the Zou family laugh at Zou Zhou?" He Zheng had a lot of reasons, and he just wanted to bring Li Dong to the capital.
Erhe thought of Zou Zhou's family and had to admit that what He Zheng said was absolutely right.
The only things that can make people bow their heads are power and money.
If Li Dong becomes wealthy, Zou Zhou will be proud of himself.
"Okay, then I'll send a telegram to Zou Zhou and the others, asking them to come over. Some things can't be explained clearly via telegram, so it's better to say it in person."
"OK."
The two exchanged a few more words and ended the call.
Erhe was not idle either. She hung up the phone, went home, pushed her bicycle out, and went to the post office to send a telegram.
After sending the call, rush home.
Erhe sat down, drank some water, and carefully recalled He Zheng's experience.
He burst out laughing.
The two people in front were still wondering what kind of adventures He Zheng would have on this trip to the capital, but they didn't expect such a big one.
If the previous ones were just appetizers, this time it really is...
Then I thought of the Third Master's health and felt very sorry.
I hope the Third Master can live longer, much longer.
As for He Zheng, he will definitely learn a lot from the Third Master, so let him learn.
…
Erhe guessed that Zou Zhou and Li Dong would come soon, but she didn't expect that on the third day after the telegram was sent, the two of them came directly to the provincial capital, and Wang Xiu came with them.
She gave an address, and surprisingly the three of them found it.
Erhe received a notice from the gate asking her to come out and pick someone up. She was really shocked to see three people standing at the gate carrying large and small bags.
"Mom, why are you here too?"
Wang Xiu was carrying a lot of things. Although she was a little tired, she looked very happy and was still looking around.
"Zou Zhou and Li Dong came over, talking about going to the capital and saying He Zheng was there. I was worried that this kid might have gotten into trouble, so I followed him to check it out. Not to mention that the road is quite winding. If it were me alone, I might not dare to go out. Fortunately, Zou Zhou is capable, and the three of us found him here smoothly."
Zou Zhou was carrying only a small bag, and the rest of the things were carried by Li Dong. Hearing this, Li Dong also looked at Zou Zhou with a proud look in his eyes.
Zou Zhou felt embarrassed by the compliment, "Auntie, don't say that. If you hadn't accompanied me, I wouldn't have been so brave."
"Let's go and sit at home first."
"Is it appropriate for so many of us to go to your place? We have a letter of introduction. Otherwise, let Auntie stay with you and we can stay in the guesthouse."
"fine."
Erhe led the way and took the three of them to the Nie family.
The Nie family’s house is not big, and it is not their private property. It is just the dormitory assigned to Nie Ming by the army.
After putting the luggage away and settling down, Erhe made three cups of tea.
Wang Xiu couldn't sit still. "Erhe, your telegram only contained a few sentences. Old He and I don't understand. He Zheng went to the capital to see the Third Master, but why did he suddenly stay in the capital and asked Li Dong to go too? What happened? He's not coming back from the capital. I see your father is very busy at work here, and you have to review regularly. Who will take care of you?"
Every word she said was thoughtful and full of heart.
Erhe held her mother-in-law's hand and said, "Mom, don't worry. I'll talk to you slowly. He Zheng is in Beijing learning from the Third Master. It's a rare opportunity, so I want Li Dong to go there too. Of course, I still need to ask Li Dong and Zou Zhou for their opinions. After all, Beijing is too far away. If I really go there, I may not be able to go home for several months. As for me, I can take care of myself, don't worry."
Erhe did not mention the matter of letting He Zheng inherit the Third Master's property. She still hoped that the Third Master could recover from his health.
"Is that so?" Wang Xiu nodded, indicating that she understood. "If you put it that way, then this opportunity is quite rare. He Zheng, that brat, is usually not very serious. It would be great if he could seriously pursue his career. If he doesn't succeed, you will still have to work hard in the future. As for Li Dong..."
The three of them looked at Li Dong.
Li Dong clenched his fists and looked at Zou Zhou. "I'm going to the capital, Zou Zhou. For you, I have to fight for my reputation."
Everyone knows that no one in the Zou family is optimistic about Zou Zhou marrying him.
Therefore, he had better fight for his reputation and become successful so that he can support his wife.
Zou Zhou's eyes also turned red.
Erhe and Wang Xiu looked at the young couple and smiled knowingly.
If they consider each other like this, how can the relationship between husband and wife be bad?
Wang Xiu suddenly thought of something and pulled her daughter-in-law back, "Erhe, since I'm in the provincial capital, do you think I can go see the boss?"
In the blink of an eye, I haven't seen my eldest son for a whole year and a half. I say I'm willing to let him go, but I still miss him in my heart.
Especially this big event of marriage.
The eldest child is already 25 years old, and other people’s children are running around everywhere.
This guy doesn't even have a partner.
But this old mother is so worried.
She didn't want anything else but to meet her eldest son and ask him if he planned to remain a bachelor for the rest of his life. If he said yes, Wang Xiu thought she would really give up.
