182 Parents Can’t Do Whatever They Want

When He Hui heard her son’s reminder, she immediately realized something and quickly changed her words.

“No, I didn’t mean that! Uncle Guan and the others are all good people. I just feel guilty that I haven’t been by your side much ever since I gave birth to you!” He Hui quickly explained.

When Guan Kang heard this, he looked at his mother, who had a lot of white hair, with warmth in his eyes.

“Mother, you haven’t let me down. Instead, you’ve done a lot for me. If Father and Mother hadn’t run around to earn money, I wouldn’t have my current healthy body. So Mother, you don’t owe me anything. You’ve already done enough. Don’t worry too much in the future. I will get better and better. I will be more filial to Father and Mother in the future and let you live a good life!” Guan Kang comforted He Hui.

It had to be said that Guan Kang was very wise. But he was only eleven years old and his mind was already mature.

When He Hui saw how sensible and filial her son was, she felt even more conflicted.

If she could, she would rather her son not be so sensible. She wanted him to have a healthy body and live the same life as other children.

Before the mother and son could say anything else, Li Shun and Guan Dongshan had already walked in with water.

Zhao Xiu and her daughters came along.

Everyone was gathered togther now. They each took a handkerchief and tidied up.

There was strength in numbers. It was just a room, and it didn’t take long to tidy it up.

Zhao Xiu washed her hands and grabbed He Hui. “Just treat this place as your home! If you need anything, feel free to tell me! Kang’er will definitely be safe living here. You should spend less time taking care of those ducks in the future and spend more time with Kang’er! I won’t talk to you anymore. We still have to open the shop and do business. We won’t be back at noon. When lunchtime comes, go to the kitchen and get some food. We’ll talk more at night!”

“There’s no need. We’ll cook at home. When the time comes, we’ll bring it over to eat! We’ve already troubled you guys a lot. Let’s eat separately! It’s better to split things up properly! I know there’s no need to be polite between us, but it’s not easy for you guys either. You guys have your own difficulties!” He Hui said as she held Zhao Xiu’s hand.

Zhao Xiu also knew that He Hui had a hard time and was being considerate towards them, so she nodded.

“I know you’re thinking of me. We’ll do it your way.”

Seeing that Zhao Xiu had agreed, He Hui heaved a sigh of relief.

No matter how good their relationship was, they had to know their limits.

If they didn’t have a sense of propriety, they would only end up hating each other and ruining their relationship.

After that, Li Xiaoran brought her family to the shop to sell noodles.

Luo Cheng followed what they had agreed on last night and went to see how the house beside Little Huzi’s house was.

Because Guan Dongshan’s family was still here, Luo Ziyang stayed.

After all, they still had to leave someone behind to protect Guan Kang’s safety. Only Luo Ziyang was qualified to do so.

“Stay at home for the next few days. Don’t go out. Protect Guan Kang! Someone will take over your job in a few days and protect Guan Kang!” Luo Cheng thought for a moment and reminded him.

Luo Ziyang nodded and stayed behind to watch the house.

Luo Cheng went to look for the village chief, Old Master Guo.

Because this house belonged to the village, they had to rent it through Old Master Guo.

Old Master Guo rarely saw Luo Cheng. He teased, “You don’t come unless you have something to do! Tell me! What is it this time?”

Luo Cheng glanced at Old Master Guo and suddenly remembered something.

“My shop is built and business is good. Why isn’t there any reaction elsewhere?”

Old Master Guo sighed when he heard Luo Cheng’s words.

“Sometimes, others don’t have good taste! People with such taste might not have so much money!”

When Luo Cheng heard this, he immediately understood.

“Then aren’t you going to try?”

“I’m old and useless! My sons are all grown up. I can’t control them!” Old Master Guo sighed.

The children each had their own thoughts. He could no longer make the decision.

“It’s not a bad idea to raise money and open a shop together. You definitely won’t lose money in the future. You can earn money by doing any business!” Luo Cheng wanted to help Old Master Guo, so he thought for a moment and reminded him again.

“I know you have good intentions, but unfortunately, I won’t get involved. I’m old!” Old Master Guo said dejectedly.

As the saying went, every family had its own problems. It was the same for Old Master Guo’s family.

Seeing this, Luo Cheng didn’t say anything else and got down to business.

“I might have to rent a house in March, so I want to go to Little Huzi’s house to see that empty house. I heard that you have the key, so I wanted to invite you over to take a look together!”

“Why do you want to rent a house? Your house can accommodate many people. Why do you still want to rent a house?” Old Master Guo asked curiously.

“It’s like this. Although my marriage with Li Xiaoran has been decided, we haven’t gotten married yet. Therefore, I plan to officially marry her in March. Since we’re getting married, we naturally have to find a place to get married!” Luo Cheng explained.

Old Master Guo immediately understood something.

“I was indeed right about you. You’re a loyal person. It’s Xiaoran’s blessing to meet you!”

“Meeting Li Xiaoran is my fortune!” Luo Cheng said with a smile.

“Alright, alright. Just because of what you said, I’ll follow you!” Old Master Guo said with a smile. He turned around to get the key and followed Luo Cheng to Little Huzi’s house.

However, what the two of them didn’t expect was that when they went to the house, they would see that the house was on the verge of collapse.

“I knew it. One night, I heard a huge commotion. But when I came out with my clothes on, I didn’t find anything! After all this time, it turns out that the house here collapsed!” Little Huzi’s grandmother heard the commotion and came over to take a look. She immediately exclaimed.

Luo Cheng took a look and stopped Old Master Guo from entering.

“I know some martial arts. I can avoid danger. Stand outside first. I’ll go in and take a look first!”

Old Master Guo knew that he would be a burden if he went in, so he nodded and stood outside the door with Little Huzi’s grandmother.
