“Mom...”
Looking at her embarrassed appearance, Zhang Qing opened his mouth but didn’t know how to comfort her. If they were rich, they could buy some homestead and build a house near her, then he and his mom could live her. But the thing is they were stone-broke, so he didn’t have the guts to say that. Although he was clear that even if they lived here for long, they wouldn’t say anything, he was the big son of their family anyhow who would support the whole family in the future. How could he have the face to live here all the time?
All in all, it was about reputation. Lady Wang grabbed her younger sister’s hand and made a sigh. Village people like them, as long as they could, who would want to carry a bad name? Let alone her younger sister, even they were being pointed at behind the back now, weren’t they?
About this matter, even Ling Jingxuan didn’t know what to do. He didn’t care about reputation, but he couldn’t ask others not to the care about theirs, right?
For a while, the atmosphere in the room became a bit suffocating. No one said anything more. Everyone, including Ling Yun and others who were standing by, didn’t look good. Yan Shengrui looked around them and then broke the silence, “Aren’t you going to the town to see the magistrate later? You can ask him to move their registered residence into Ling village, problem solved, right? After Qingzi earns money, they could buy the homestead and build a house near us. See who dares gossip again!
“Would that work?”
Ling Jingxuan couldn’t help picking his eyebrows at him. Isn’t that like modern times? Wherever you transfer your household registration location, you’d belong to that place. It seems the laws in this dynasty are quite adequate.
“Sure. Otherwise, how do you think those outsiders of this village came here? They didn’t belong to this village before. But now except those people surnamed Ling, who dare say the others don’t belong to this village? It’s just that residence transfer is quite difficult, common people don’t have that ability, and most people don’t want to leave their native place.”
Naturally reaching out a hand and smoothing the hair before his forehead, Yan Shengrui said softly.
Hearing him, Ling Jingxuan touched his chin for a little meditation, then looked over at Wang Jinyu and her two sons sitting on the opposite side, “Aunt, Qing, Yang, what do you say? As long as you nod to agree, I have my way to let the magistrate do us this favor. As for the homestead thing, I believe with your craftsmanship, you will definitely earn a lot of money and maybe build a big house next to us this year!”
“Well…”
Apparently she was lying if she said she didn’t want it. But such a huge thing, Wang Jinyu also didn’t know what to do, so her eyes signaling for help couldn’t help turning to her two sons. Zhang Qing was thirteen and Zhang Yang was eleven, however mature they were, they were still two boys. They couldn’t make such a decision immediately. Seeing that they all looked so embarrassed and didn’t know what to do, Ling Jingxuan knew that he pushed them too hard, so he hurriedly added, “Aunt, there is no hurry. Anyway, I’m going to town a few days later. You can talk about it thoroughly together. I personally hope that you can say yes. People on that side are not good to you. What’s the pointing living there? The deceased is deceased, but the living people should move on. Being gossiped by those people all day, you’d have mental problems. If you still couldn’t forget about my uncle-in-law, after you make money, you can buy a land here and move his cinerary urn here.”
Life is extra difficult for widows. Watching the present Wang Jinyu and his sons, he couldn’t thinking about the original owner of this body and the two little buns. Maybe that was one of the reasons why he tried to help them.
ραпdα nᴏνa| сom “Let me think, this is a big deal, I need to think it over carefully...”
Raising a hand to hold his forehead, Wang Jinyu also felt entangled in the heart. People all hanker after an easy and comfortable life. Having lived here in her elder sister’s place, she had already fallen in love with this place. Not only her elder sister and brother-in-law, even her three nephews, and even Xiaowen, Xiaowu and the servants and maids were good to them. Besides, what Jingxuan said was right. If so, Qingzi could also learn to do business from him, and Yangzi would have a much higher chance to get listed under the help of Jinghan, but…on thinking of her husband’s side, she felt stuck in between. She was afraid that people’s gossip might ruin her two sons’ future.
“Jinyu, come and have a rest in my room, let us two sisters have some private talk.”
Seeing this, Lady Wang felt heartbroken and hurriedly held her, nodded at Ling Jingxuan, the two sisters walked out, Yan Shengrui timely threw Ling Yun a look, the latter instantly got it and followed up.
“Mom...”
Watching their mother leave, Zhang Qing and Zhang Yang opened their mouths, also feeling sorry for her. How would they not understand the bitterness in her heart? Sometimes, they even had the urge of asking her to remarry. But every time when the words nearly got out of their mouths, they finally swallowed them back. If she remarried, she would never bring them with her. Clearly knowing that remarrying may be the best choice for her, they couldn’t speak it out since they really didn’t want to separate with her.
