Seeing his nervousness, Jiang Nanshu couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “I’m not telling you to leave immediately. What I mean is, don’t go back. Settle down in the capital from now on, so I can take care of you.”
Both Ji’s mother and father were taken aback.
Even Ji Ze gasped in shock.
Although Jiang Nanshu had changed for the better, her previous words were truly hurtful. She called them bloodsuckers and told them to stay in the countryside for the rest of their lives. Now she actually wanted them to settle in the capital.
“Nan Nan, we—” Ji’s mother instinctively wanted to refuse.
In their eyes, the capital city is the domain of high-ranking officials and nobles, where everyone is either rich or powerful. They are just a bunch of pig farmers; living in the capital, they shouldn’t lower the status of others.
Ji’s father felt a sense of fear and resistance.
“Nan Nan, this isn’t suitable. We’ve lived in the countryside our whole lives, and besides, the pigs at home—”
Jiang Nanshu interrupted them directly: “You’ve both worked hard your whole lives. At this age, you should be enjoying your retirement. Dad, your legs aren’t good. Raising pigs is tiring, and you manage a factory all by yourself. Mom is sick and can’t help you much. Ji Ze is still studying and has even less time to pay attention to the situation at home. So, you should move to Beijing so that I can take care of you. It will also be convenient for Jize to come home.”
Ji Ze nodded quickly: “Dad, Mom, I’ve already earned enough money for a house by working with my brother. I plan to buy it in Beijing so I can be with my sister. The countryside is too far and too quiet, and we might not be able to go back for the holidays. It’s better to settle in Beijing. You can just have fun and keep yourselves happy. We can still see each other often.”
“This…” Jize’s mother was tempted.
The older she got, the more she missed her children.
Back in the countryside, Ji’s father had to take care of his pigs every day, and then he would come to take care of her. Moreover, their neighbors rarely set foot in their house.
Most days, it was just the two of them, and the house was very quiet.
Ji’s father fell silent.
Jiang Nanshu persisted: “Dad, Mom, you took me in and raised me with such hardship. Now that I have money, I definitely want to take good care of you. Since you’re in Beijing, I can come home more often.”
Ji’s parents looked at her as if they sensed something.
Finally, Ji’s mother nodded: “Okay, okay… As long as I can see you, that’s enough. Come home whenever you want. Your father and I are here.”
Ji’s father sighed, smiling helplessly, “Let’s listen to your mother. I’m getting old; I get out of breath after walking a short distance. I’m too old for this.”
Ji Ze was overjoyed: “Then Sister can come home more often! I’ve already found a house. I’ll buy one in a certain neighborhood in Beijing, close to my sister’s.”
Ji’s mother smiled and said, “It’s up to you and your sister to decide. We’re just here to eat and drink for free, so we won’t interfere.”
Jiang Nanshu has already decided where Ji’s mother and the others will stay. She plans to buy a house for herself there as well. The villa on the hillside is too far away and too big, and sparsely populated. Apart from being luxurious, it is actually very deserted.
She missed so many years with her parents, so she wanted to spend as much time with them as they were still alive.
“Then I’ll go find a place. Xiao Ze, I’ll send you the house information later. If you think it’s okay, you can show it to your parents. I’ll be going now.”
Ji Ze nodded, patting his chest to assure her: “Don’t worry, Sis, the place you choose is definitely top-notch.”
Jiang Nanshu left the ward.
Ji’s mother wasn’t in any serious condition, but she had become weaker due to the emotional ups and downs in recent years and still needed to recuperate.
