Chapter 373: Righteous
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Li Shun was actually not surprised to hear his father-in-law’s words.
To be honest, Eagle Village was indeed too remote.
Previously, he didn’t have the ability to help his father-in-law, and his father-in-law’s family had no intention of moving out, so he naturally didn’t mention anything.
Now that his father-in-law and two brothers-in-law wanted to move out, he naturally had to contribute!
“Father, there aren’t many old houses in our village. I wonder how you’ll settle down after you move out? You’ll each build three houses or live in one house? If you want to live in one house, there’s a house like that available in the village. Because it’s too big, it hasn’t been sold or rented out. If you want to live separately, it won’t be easy to find old houses. You can only go to other villages to take a look!” Li Shun explained the situation in Hele Village.
Zhao Huaishan thought for a moment and asked, “How are the other villages nearby?”
“I’ve asked Yuan Cheng and Mao Dao. The two villages they’re in are similar to Hele Village, but we don’t know anyone there, so things aren’t as convenient as in Hele Village!” Zhao Lijun often went to the shop to help these few days, so he was very familiar with Yuan Cheng and Mao Dao. He also asked about the situation in the village they were in.
Zhao Xiu thought for a moment and said, “Father, Mother, this is a serious matter, so we have to consider it at length. Since you’re out, why don’t you stay for a while longer? To be honest, the information we have is limited. We’ll ask Luo Cheng later. He knows more than us, so he might be able to give a better suggestion!”
Zhao Huaishan was a wise old man who had experienced many things, so he shook his head and said, ‘We can discuss it first and come up with a plan. In the end, we can get our grandson-in-law to give us some advice! Now, we haven’t even figured out anything yet, so aren’t you going to cause trouble for our grandson-in-law by going there directly?”
“My grandson-in-law is generous, but he’s not stupid. Aren’t we forcing him to help us resolve everything? What if my grandson-in-law pays to build the houses of our three families like before? Xiu’er, don’t take his contributions for granted. Even if he’s your son-in-law, you have to have a sense of propriety!” Zhao Huaishan’s words became more and more serious.
When Zhao Xiu heard her father’s words, she immediately felt a little aggrieved. She had really never thought of it that way!
Zhao Huaishan knew his daughter’s personality. With one look at her aggrieved expression, he knew what she was thinking.
“I know you don’t mean that, but think about it. If we look for our grandson-in-law now, won’t the outcome be the same as what I just said?”
At this point, Zhao Huaishan also looked at his two sons, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren.
“I’ll put the word out today. Whether you guys listen is up to you. One has to have a sense of propriety. Only then will the relationship become stronger and stronger. Although my grandson-in-law’s family is well-off, don’t have ulterior motives about it. Yes, settling down our family’s residence is not a big deal to my grandson-in-law. The money he might spend is a huge sum of money to us, but what right do we have to make him do this?”
“They do it because they treat us as family, so we have to treat them as family too. Would you guys treat your sons and daughters like this? Would you let your sons and daughters take out a large sum of money to help you settle down your family? You have to think for the other party’s sake. Only by reciprocating favors will the relationship stay strong. If you only know how to take things, it will eventually disappoint your family!”
The group listened attentively.
To be honest, it was impossible to say that no one had any ulterior motives.
Seeing that Luo Cheng was so well-off, some people wanted to take advantage of him.
Fortunately, Zhao Huaishan, the head of the family, had noticed this long ago. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he said everything he wanted to say.
“Son-in-law, I think the big house you mentioned just now is not bad. Go and ask the village chief how much it costs. Let’s buy this house first and move out together. As for the future, if you two want to live on your own, you can explore the surroundings and see which place is suitable to build a new house. As long as you earn money and have the ability to build a house, you can move out!” Zhao Huaishan finally said.
Xu Xiufang also nodded in agreement.
“Your father is right. We can’t rely on others too much. We can’t take it for granted just became our grandson-in-law treats us well. As members of the Zhao family, we have to be upright. We can’t be greedy just because someone else is well-off. What do you two think about this?”
“Father, Mother, don’t worry. We’ll rely on our own abilities to improve our lives. The market on the official road here is booming. We have hands, feet, and brains, so as long as we’re willing to work hard, our lives definitely won’t be that bad. I also think Father is right. We can buy an old house and live in it first. We can talk about the rest according to our own situation later!” Zhao Long stood up and expressed his stance.
Zhao Liang also said directly, “That’s right! Father, don’t worry! We can do it ourselves. Let’s split the cost of buying a big house equally! As for the future, it depends on our own abilities. However, although the three of us will live together, we’ll live our lives separately! You two don’t have to do anything. Us brothers will take turns cooking!”
Zhao Huaishan nodded at his third brother’s suggestion.
“These are all trivial matters. After buying the house, building our own kitchen will be a piece of cake!”
Just like that, the family settled this matter.
After that, Li Shun went to look for the old village chief, Old Master Guo, to ask about the big house.
Zhao Xiu also wanted to do her part, so she followed Li Shun.
On the way to look for Old Master Guo, Li Shun sighed.
“I finally understand what others mean when they say that when a family is harmonious, everything is prosperous! Look at how well Father-in-law and Mother-in-law get along with each other. Most importantly, Father-in-law, as the head of the family, was wise enough to notice that there were bad signs in the family and enlightened everyone in time.. If my parents were like
Father-in-law and Mother-in-law, the Li family wouldn’t have fallen to this
state!”
