Chapter 259

"Brother Yu, let's go inside first. These things don't need to be discussed right away. We can talk about the provincial capital after dinner," Wang Qinghe said with an unexpectedly indifferent attitude toward the provincial capital, which surprised Yu Cheng.

He had thought Wang Qinghe would be particularly worried.

After all, he would be in an unfamiliar place in the provincial capital, and he wasn't Uncle He's only son. How could he not be concerned about his future?

But...

Wang Qinghe was more composed than even an outsider like him.

It seemed he didn't care much about what might happen to the family in the future.

Bai Xiuxiu and Wang Qinghe led Yu Cheng into the house. Inside, Grandma Wei had already prepared dinner. Seeing her daughter and son-in-law return with the young man who had been waiting outside, she smiled warmly. "You're back?

I've got ginger soup simmering in the pot. This young man has been waiting outside for quite a while.

Have some to warm up later."

As she spoke, she began preparing everything.

In the past, whenever Yu Cheng came over, Wang Qinghe was always cooking or doing chores. It was rare to see Wang Qinghe not having to do anything, with everything already prepared at home.

He felt that Wang Qinghe had finally found some peace.

"Brother Yu, this is my mother-in-law. She returned a few days ago and will live with us and Xiuxiu. We'll all move to the provincial capital soon," Wang Qinghe introduced Grandma Wei to Yu Cheng.

Although Yu Cheng knew who she was, it was still proper to introduce her to show respect.

Hearing this, Yu Cheng politely greeted the elderly lady.

After dinner, Yu Cheng followed them inside and started talking about recent events in the provincial capital, especially about the Wang family.

By the time they finished, it was very late.

After their guest left, Wang Qinghe fetched some water to wash Bai Xiuxiu's feet.

Bai Xiuxiu was looking forward to moving to the provincial capital.

In her previous life, she had always been behind her husband, watching him become more successful. But now, things were different. Now, they could progress together and move to the provincial capital.

Maybe even to bigger places.

The thought made Bai Xiuxiu feel happy.

"Wife, once we're in the provincial capital, the He family will likely cause us trouble. No matter what happens, don't listen to them or pay them any attention. We should be as cautious with them as we are with the Wang family.

If anyone bullies you, don't worry about whether they are my biological parents or not.

In this life, the most important people to me are you and our child."

Wang Qinghe was deeply uneasy about moving to the provincial capital.

Everything there was unfamiliar, and while he had his plans, those people had their own agendas.

No one could guarantee that everything would go smoothly.

Seeing his unease, Bai Xiuxiu held the hand that was about to massage her feet and looked at him. "Don't worry. We've come this far, and I can protect myself and our child. Besides, the shoeless have nothing to fear from the shod.

They are different from the Wang family.

They have good jobs and care about their reputation.

The Wang family struggled just to put food on the table.

Don't worry."

Her gentle voice calmed Wang Qinghe a bit.

Early in the morning,

the two of them went to work as usual.

Everything seemed peaceful, as if nothing significant had happened.

However, things were completely different in the provincial capital.

Qi Yingying had just finished making breakfast for the family. At the dining table, He Zhifei urged her to find a house.

"Yingying, try to contact someone today and ask your parents to help us look as well. Find a decent place, similar to where they are living now.

Then get everything settled quickly.

Also, arrange for the eldest son's wife to transfer her job if possible.

I'll take care of the eldest son's job.

Let's get these things done as soon as possible so we can truly be reunited for the New Year."

After seeing his son yesterday, He Zhifei was full of hope that this child would amount to something.

Many children in the compound worked normally in factories or had passed exams to secure positions elsewhere.

Why did his children turn out so differently?

One or two of them caused him endless worry, and every time he attended a meeting, he felt embarrassed.

Whenever someone asked about his children, he felt ashamed!

At least this time we’ve found someone reliable.

Moreover, we’ve been looking forward to the return of our eldest son every year, and this year he’s finally back.

This is a joyous occasion for the whole family; it can’t be delayed.

When He Quan heard his son mention buying a house for his eldest grandson, he paused with his ladle mid-air.

He drank two sips of soup in silence, then, seeing that his eldest daughter-in-law didn’t speak, he slowly said, "Zhifei, how come you’re thinking about getting a house before even bringing the child back? Is he coming for his parents or just for the house?

If it’s just for the benefit, then this child isn’t worth your careful planning.

If not for the benefit, don’t we already have a place to live? Why do we need to find a separate house?

Isn’t it better to live closer to you all?

It would help build a relationship."

He Quan’s words resonated with Qi Yingying.

Exactly!

Can’t we buy houses for He Ming and He Cheng later? They aren’t even married yet, while the eldest already has a son and a daughter.

Just as Qi Yingying was about to speak, He Zhifei interjected, "Dad, it was my idea. The child already has a place to live, and he’s doing well on his own. We, as parents, failed to keep an eye on him, and he suffered so much when he was young.

We can’t just go to him now that he’s out of hardship and make his life worse than before.

What kind of parents would we be?

Yingying, don’t delay this. If you drag your feet, I’ll find someone else to look for a house."

He Zhifei glanced at his silent wife, understanding her thoughts.

She’s just hoping to delay it until it’s forgotten, right?

He Quan, hearing his eldest son’s determination, felt a bit sorry that Xiao Tian still had no place to stay.

Compared to them, He Ming and He Cheng felt even more bitter.

He Ming, losing his appetite, put down his chopsticks, "Dad, you haven’t even brought him back yet, and you’re already giving him a house and a job. Mom keeps talking about having this son. When he comes back, should the rest of us just leave the family?"

"What are you talking about? How does your mother usually teach you?" He Zhifei was frustrated by his son’s words.

Compared to He Ming’s impulsiveness, He Cheng was more rational.

But when he spoke, it was also about this matter. He cautiously said, "Mom and Dad, I’m in a relationship. Can I bring her home for you to meet? If she’s suitable, I also hope to move out.

Regarding the house... Mom and Dad, you can’t show favoritism."
