Chapter 151 Parting
Chapter 151 Parting
"I haven't met Wei Shujiang."
The King of Qi was telling the truth.
Although he and Wei Shujiang both smuggled into Hong Kong, Hong Kong is a huge place with many people, so it is true that he has never met Wei Shujiang.
"So what's the situation in Hong Kong?"
Wang Chenan asked, if he couldn't get any news about Wei Shujiang, then he could find out some information about the situation over there so that he could comfort his old mother when he returned.
When talking about Hong Kong, Qi Zhijun's eyes were filled with complicated emotions.
Half yearning, half pain.
It was a free and prosperous place. Privately owned shops could be seen everywhere, selling a wide variety of goods, including disco, bell-bottoms, and young people dancing with radios on their shoulders, which was dazzling.
Countless people have made a fortune there and realized their dreams, becoming the rich and powerful.
Some people couldn't make it there, became poor and destitute, and returned home in disgrace.
The King of Qi belonged to the latter.
He is conservative in character and prides himself on his university education, so he looks down on the smooth talk of small vendors.
But if you are a scholar, Hong Kong and the mainland do not use the same textbooks.
Therefore, the King of Qi could not integrate into this prosperous place, and finally returned home in disgrace. Because of his vanity, he cheated and finally fell into this state.
Hong Kong was a dream of his, which left him with scars.
He told Wei Shuqing everything he had seen and heard, and she listened attentively.
She had lived two lives and thought that the environment she would see in her later years was prosperous enough, but she did not expect that there was an even more prosperous and free place.
Wei Shuqing thought that she still needed to go out more, see Hong Kong, the capital, and the big cities.
Even if you can't find any opportunities, it's good to broaden your horizons.
"My second brother is smart, thoughtful, and hardworking. He's sure to make a name for himself!"
On the way back, Wei Shuqing said to Wang Chenan.
Even if Wei Shujiang was unlucky, he would definitely have no problem supporting himself by opening a small shop or setting up a small stall.
Wang Chenan nodded: "We all have to believe in Second Brother's ability."
Wei Shuqing and Wang Chenan bought a house for Wei's father and mother. Wei Shuhai and Yang Liu were also very proactive. They not only hired someone to repaint and renovate Wei's father and mother's new home, but also hired someone to make a set of furniture.
The dormitory is not big, only about 30 square meters, and is divided into two rooms by a screen.
Inside is a bed, a wardrobe and a small bedside table.
In the outer room there is a round table for dining and several chairs for entertaining guests.
“This kind of arrangement is very popular now!”
After coming to the city, Yang Liu became much more fashionable. She had her hair permed into curls, her ears pierced, and she wore a pair of gold earrings. She was completely different from her simple appearance before coming to the city.
The only thing that changed was her dressing style, but her kind nature remained unchanged.
She smiled and said, "From now on, Mom will live separately. Let's give Mom and Dad some living expenses!"
Although Wei's father has a job, they live separately and everything from food, clothing, housing, transportation, firewood, rice, oil and salt all requires money.
It is easy to support the family with Wei's father's salary alone, but if the old couple has any problems, they will be stretched to the limit.
"Okay, let's decide how much to give, sister-in-law."
Wei Shuqing was cautious. As a girl, she couldn't go beyond other people's sons and daughters-in-law, otherwise it would easily cause family disharmony.
How could Yang Liu not notice how cautious Wei Shuqing had been recently?
She wasn't stupid, so she could guess a thing or two. She smiled and said, "Sister, although you're a married woman, your brother and I consider you our backbone! Without you, your brother, Da Hu, and Er Hu wouldn't be able to live the good life we have today. I don't care what other families think. You can be the master of our Wei family for the rest of your life!"
Yang Liu knew that he had no ability or vision.
But she knows how to adapt to the times and is grateful.
She knew that if she followed Wei Shuqing, she would definitely be fine.
Upon hearing this, Wei Shuqing's eyes became moist. Her family will always be her support.
She knew the situation, but she had no intention of becoming anyone's head of the household.
"Sister-in-law, I know we will always be a family, but the issue of supporting our parents still needs to be discussed between us!"
Finally, after discussion between the two families, each gave Wei's father and mother twenty yuan.
Wei Shuqing also said: "Chen An, as children, we have to treat both sides of the family equally. Since you gave 20 to my parents, you should also give 20 to our mother!"
"No need, my mom has money!"
Wang Chenan was telling the truth. His mother's pension was not low, more than enough for one person to spend!
Wei Shuqing insisted again and again: "How can what belongs to Mom be the same as what we give her? What we give to Mom is not money, but our heart. Can't you just make Mom and Dad happy?"
"Okay, okay." Having said that, Wang Chenan could only nod. "You are a textbook daughter-in-law. As a son, I am ashamed of myself."
Wei's father and mother quickly moved to their new home. On the day they left, Wang's mother was reluctant to let them go.
"After so much effort, this home is finally bustling again, and someone is talking to me. Why are they moving out so soon?"
She really didn't want to see Wei's father and mother go.
The father-in-law and mother-in-law are quiet, hardworking, and not picky. Everyone who sees them likes them.
Mother Wei continued to smile cheerfully, "We came here to take care of Shuqing and her son. Back then, the children were young and we were too busy to take care of everything. Later, we opened a shop and were short of staff, so we had no choice but to stay here and bother our elder sister!"
She made her position very clear.
This is her daughter's home, not the home of the old couple.
"Don't bother us, don't bother us!" Queen Mother said quickly, "You've really helped us a lot!"
She saw and remembered the hard work of the old couple.
Mother Wei smiled and said, "Everything is fine now. The child has someone to look after him, and the store is on track. We old couple can go out and have some free time. We don't live far away, so if your elder sister is bored, she can come over and visit us."
She held the Queen Mother's hand, tears in her eyes.
There is always too much sadness in the scene of parting, even Kuihua wiped away tears.
Wei Shuqing, however, remained indifferent. She leaned on her mother's shoulder and said, "Mom, it's not that I don't want you to live with me, nor am I trying to destroy the bridge. It's just that as the Dream of the Red Chamber says, it's good to be relatives, but you don't have to live with them all the time. Otherwise, there will only be conflicts, and we won't be a family after all."
"You are my child, how could I not understand you?" Wei's mother knew everything. She held Wei Shuqing's hand and said, "Your mother-in-law and her family are all good people. It's just that we lived with you, after all, it was not legitimate and proper. Now you have your own little family, your father and I are very happy."
"Yes, my daughter!" Father Wei said with a beaming look, "Thanks to my daughter, I now have a house in the city!"
This must be the envy of the old men in the village!
