Chapter 413: Couldn’t Be Both Loyal and Filial

After the registration process, Lu Sheng sent a group of people off from Li Zheng’s house.

At that moment, Mdm Fang had just finished cooking.

Seeing that Lu Sheng was around, she specially added two more dishes.

Mdm Fang’s culinary skills were quite good compared to ordinary village women. Perhaps it was because she had a lot of seasonings.

In the village, as long as one could fill their stomachs, there was not much to pay attention to.

“Girl, are you going back to your house later or are you heading to town?”

When dinner ended, it was already twilight outside.

“My uncle will probably come and fetch me.”

Before she left, she told He Qin to come over to fetch her back to town if she did not return by night.

Mdm Fang nodded and asked, “Aren’t you going to renovate your house?”

“I heard from Ah Ran that the house will be renovated but not rebuilt. It will be used to raise some prawns. Is that true?”

Tao Jia walked in with a pot of tea and asked Lu Sheng with a smile.

“More or less.”

Lu Sheng smiled faintly and said, “Anyway, the town isn’t far from the village. It doesn’t matter where we live.”

It was just that some places lacked more feeling.

“True.”

Mdm Fang smiled and said, “Your Brother Tao just told us about moving today. However, your uncle is Li Zheng. How can he move just like that?”

“Move?” Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. “Where to?”

“Yu Shan Town.”

Tao Jia said, “I plan to buy a courtyard there and bring them over to live together, but they don’t want to.”

He stayed in Yu Shan Town all year round and only came back once a year.

Now that the mother-daughter pair was getting on in years, he wanted them to go over and stay together so that it would be easier to take care of them.

When Lu Sheng heard that, she said, “Uncle is Li Zheng from Liu Yue Village. It’s indeed not appropriate for them to stay in Yu Shan Town.”

Yu Shan Town was about a week’s journey from here. It was indeed inconvenient to travel there and back.

“Yes!”

Mdm Fang had already approached the stove. As she roasted the fire, she said, “Moreover, this is our home. Our ancestors have lived here for generations. How can we just move there?”

Her son could bear to part with this place, but she and her husband could not.

Tao Jia could not help but retort, “I didn’t say we would abandon this place. We will still come back to pay our respects to our ancestors during the new year.”

“That won’t do.”

Li Zheng sat up straight and said, “What would it look like if there’s no one in this family? You and Xiao Nan can stay in Yu Shan Town with Lele. Your mother and I will visit you when we have the time.”

“The round trip will take at least ten days. Your bodies aren’t well. How can you torture yourselves like this?”

Tao Jia sighed softly. “Since you’re unwilling to go, forget it. When my business is stable, I’ll move back to Huang Yang Town. At that time, I’ll buy a house in Huang Yang Town.”

As a filial child, he had no choice but to compromise.

His parents only had him when they were older. He was only twenty-five now, but his parents were already close to sixty. It was indeed not easy.

“This is good.”

When they heard Tao Jia say that he wanted to return to Huang Yang Town to buy a house, Li Zheng and Mdm Fang agreed.

After all, Huang Yang Town was their root. No matter how good other towns were, they could not compare to their hometown.

Tao Jia smiled helplessly and did not say anything else.

Since ancient times, it was difficult to be both loyal and filial. His wife wanted to stay in Yu Shan Town and be closer to his parents-in-law. He initially thought that it would be the best of both worlds if his parents agreed to the move.

Unfortunately, his parents were unwilling, so he had no choice.

His wife was a considerate and good girl. She would definitely understand him.

“It’s already so late. Did your uncle forget?”

She looked outside the house and could not help but be worried. “The roads are slippery at night. Isn’t it inconvenient to go back now? Why don’t you stay first and return to town with your Brother Tao tomorrow morning?”
