Chapter 969: Zhuangzi’s Decision

Editor: Henyee Translations

Zhuangzi scratched his head and said, “There’s one more thing.”

“What is it?”

Zhuangzi found it difficult to speak. He could not help but scratch his head again, as if he was organizing his words appropriately.

Gu Yundong did not rush him. He went about his own business. After nearly 15 minutes, Zhuangzi took a deep breath and said, “Boss, I think I want to bring my parents to the prefectural city too.”

Gu Yundong was stunned. “Bring your parents with you?”

“Yes.” Once he opened his mouth, it was much easier to continue. “I’ve asked around. The rent for a slightly smaller house in the prefecture capital is about one to two taels a month. When I live with Jiang Bao, the rent is originally half each. If I bring my parents over together, I’ll pay a little more. That’s right, that way, my parents won’t be able to continue working in the boss’s orchard.”

This was also the reason why he had been hesitating and did not know how to speak.

Gu Yundong’s fingers tapped lightly on the table. She looked up at Zhuangzi and asked, “Did you make this decision because of the He family?”

Zhuangzi said, “Half and half. One reason is that the He family is not easy to get along with. If I leave, they might cause trouble again. You know my parents. They might hold it in when they are bullied. If we can take a step back, we will.”

“The other reason is that after Lan Hua’er is married, it won’t be easy for her to come home. There’s a long journey to the prefectural city, and I can only come back once every year and a half. I’m afraid that they’ll be alone at home. It won’t feel good.”

Gu Yundong smiled. Zhuangzi was indeed a filial person. Although his previous actions were repulsive, after he became a hooligan, he did not let Shi Dashan and his wife continue to be bullied and taken advantage of.

She thought for a moment. “There’s no big problem with the fruit forest. Just let Zhao Zhu manage it. If he can’t handle it, just hire more helpers. However, have you calculated your cost if you have to bring your parents to the prefectural city? Other than the rent of the house, there’s also food and clothing. It’s not easy for you to earn money alone to support three people in the prefectural city.”

Zhuangzi was vexed. He had calculated this cost before. It was indeed a little difficult. At the very least, it would be difficult for him to save money again.

Gu Yundong continued, “Also, have you thought about it? Your parents like to plant and take care of fruit trees. This is something they like. If they are brought to the prefectural city and can only stay at home all day to cook, wash, and chat with others, will they live comfortably?”

Zhuangzi’s body stiffened. Yes, that was the biggest problem.Upd@te by novg0.c0

He wanted his parents not to work too hard and enjoy life, but he also wanted them to do what they liked to do. However, how could anyone get all the good things in this world?

Zhuangzi immediately felt conflicted. In that case, he couldn’t bring his parents to the prefectural city?

Could it be that he would continue to stay in the county city as a shopkeeper and let Chen Jincai go to the prefectural city to be a shop assistant?

However, he had already promised his boss that everything had been arranged. There was no reason for him to go back on his word.

Seeing that a large amount of hair on his forehead was about to be pulled off, Gu Yundong smiled and said, “I have an idea here. Do you want to hear it?”

“Yes, of course.” Zhuangzi’s eyes suddenly lit up.

The boss was smart. Her idea would definitely be the best of both worlds.
