Become a burden in a period novel

Chapter 528 Xu Huaici's Hope

Qin Jingchu had just returned not long ago when he received a call from Qin Wangshu.

"Not yet, I have a lot to do, it will probably take some time." Qin Jingchu didn't say what he was busy with, only that it would take some time.

Actually, things at the old house have been mostly resolved. Besides, with Fifth Uncle Xu Huaici overseeing things, Qin Jingchu doesn't really need to do anything.

Xu Huaici is an entrepreneur from abroad who came from here. The local government wants to invest in and develop him, so they treat him very well. Xu Huaici's background also makes things easier for him.

He's been mainly busy with Qin Fang's affairs lately. Since they grew up there, even though his appearance has changed a lot, he's sure people will recognize him, so he hasn't gone there directly.

He asked some friends and comrades-in-arms about Qin Fang's current situation. After learning about Qin Fang and Wang Jianguo's current situation, Qin Jingchu was at a loss for words.

Wang Jianguo left the brush factory, Qin Fang lost her job and the inheritance her father left her, and their lives were no longer as harmonious as before.

His friends said that people in the tenement building often heard them arguing, mostly about money. They also heard that Wang Jianguo doesn't like going home much anymore. Since he doesn't go home, he naturally brings back less money, and Qin Fang's life is very difficult.

Qin Fang had probably never experienced anything like this before. Even in the most difficult times, her father had always taken care of her life, so she didn't have to worry about money.

However, Qin Jingchu also sensed something was amiss. Wang Jianguo's attitude seemed to have changed too quickly, and there seemed to be some hidden story behind it.

Wang Jianguo might not care about Qin Fang, but how could he not care about his only son? He might not give Qin Fang money, but how could he mistreat his son?

"When are you planning to come back, brother? I might have to go to Shenzhen in the south in a few days. If you come back late, we'll miss each other again."

"Why are you going to the south again? You just asked for leave. Will the school allow you to ask for leave again?" Qin Jingchu frowned slightly when he heard that Qin Wangshu was going to the south again.

"This trip is for important business. The Canton Fair was postponed this year, and I just received the invitation," Qin Wangshu explained. "I've already spoken with the principal, and he's very supportive of me bringing students."

"You're taking students with you?" Qin Jingchu knew from this that there was no need to worry about Qin Wangshu's job.

Although his sister is not short of money, he still wants her to stay and teach at the university, after all, it's Peking University!

"Can you do it alone?"

“There will definitely be other teachers going with us. I’m also planning to bring a few people with me. There’s no need to worry about safety. I’m taking other people’s children out, and I’ll definitely bring them back safely.”

"How old are you? Why are you calling someone else's child?" Qin Jingchu couldn't help but chuckle when he heard Qin Wangshu's somewhat condescending tone.

In his heart, his own sister was still a child, so how could he have reached the point of calling someone else's child?

"Brother, I'm almost thirty." She's already twenty-five this year, and with her current age, she's almost thirty, so naturally she can call someone else's child.

"What are you going to do about your brother if you say that!" Qin Jingchu teased. "If you're going to the South in a few days, then I'll just go there to find you."

"Sure, you know the address anyway, brother." Qin Wangshu was even happier to hear that her brother was going to the south.

If Qin Jingchu were also going to the south, she would be even more eager to take Aunt Luo with her, which would leave Yang Mingye alone here.

Thinking of Yang Mingye, who was still in the army, Qin Wangshu felt a little guilty and thought she had let him down.

"Okay, I'll contact you then."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Jingchu walked out of the room.

"Was that Wang Shu who called just now?" Xu Huaici was sitting in the courtyard outside the door, drinking tea.

The tea he drank was also a gift from Qin Wangshu, which Xu Huaici liked very much.

Qin Wangshu didn't have much tea, so she could only give some to her relatives and friends. It wasn't that her space didn't produce enough; there were no seasons in her space, and tea could be picked anytime. But she was the only one picking tea, and she simply didn't have that much time to pick tea.

Even if she could control it with her mind, she couldn't harvest too much. Fortunately, the house could keep things fresh. She would harvest some each time and put it in the house. When she had a lot, she would ask the master chef to help her cook it. That's how she got all of these.

"Yes, she told me she was going to the south in a few days and asked me when I would be back."

"Go to the South? Going to the South is a good idea. Beijing is too cold in winter. Xiao Nian said his hands were swollen from the cold." They have always lived in relatively warm cities and have never experienced the cold of the North.

"He's just not used to it yet. He'll be fine once he gets used to it. Wang Shu has some good medicine. We can have him apply it more often later." Qin Jingchu actually felt that his cousins ​​were a bit spoiled. During the time they had spent together, he had heard them complain about their living conditions more than once.

"Xiao Nian said that Wang Shu brought him a lot of medicine and prepared warm clothes for him. He was very touched. Now Wang Shu is probably his favorite older sister." Xu Huaici was very happy to see the good relationship between the younger generation.

Their generation is getting old, and the Xu family will be passed down to the younger generation. Their good relationship is essential for the Xu family to remain united.

The Xu family is his root, and he knows that the concept of clan is now very shallow, but he still wants his younger generation to be proud of the Xu family and to work together for the glory of the Xu family.

The current patriarch of the Xu family was originally Xu Huai'an, but he chose to stay in China to protect the Xu family's old house. Among those who went abroad, he was the leader.

Although he was the fifth son, he was very capable. This power was personally handed over to him by his third brother before they went abroad. He thus became the new patriarch of the Xu family, so he could not allow the Xu family to decline under his leadership.

Qin Jingchu and Qin Wangshu are the children of the third brother. They stayed in China and suffered a lot. They did not grow up with their cousins ​​and therefore had little affection for them.

Xu Huaici wanted them to spend more time together, because relationships are built over time. His third brother had been kind to them, and the brothers had a good relationship. He also wanted their children to continue this kind of relationship.

"It's just a bit of a hassle for Wang Shu. Xiao Nian is still a child at heart, and I guess Wang Shu is having quite a headache." Although he said that, he also liked Xu Nian quite a bit. She was a child with a pure heart, and he also liked Wang Shu very much.

I believe Wang Shu would also enjoy being around a child like him, which is why he agreed to let Xu Nian study at Peking University.

It seems to be working well; the siblings are getting along quite well.
