Chapter 492: Chapter 492: Discussion Chapter 492: Chapter 492: Discussion After the family split up, Wang Yan sat down with his two younger brothers and their parents in the evening for a frank discussion. He shared his idea of bringing their parents to the provincial city. Old Man Wang initially refused to go; he felt that by going, he would have to observe his daughter-in-law’s moods. It goes without saying that if he wasn’t nice to Bai Yue, it would be odd for her to show him a pleasant face in return. However, after Wang Yan repeatedly assured him, Old Man Wang finally agreed to go and celebrate the New Year. If it really didn’t suit him, Wang Yan would buy him a train ticket to send him back. In his mind, he thought that since it was his son’s household, it would be impossible that his daughter-in-law dared to mistreat him. He really wanted to see for himself how Wang Yan was doing, after all, it was all just village rumors, and nobody knew the real situation. When Erniu came back that time, he praised Wang Yan and Bai Yue to the skies, but still, Old Man Wang was not convinced in his heart. How could doing business in the provincial city earn so much money? Was Wang Yan running a restaurant? That was rare. Could it be that city folks had such low standards for food that they would accept swill, or was the provincial city where they lived a different concept altogether, with different customs and tastes? But no matter how different, it couldn’t be to that extent, right? Another possibility was that Bai Yue’s cooking skills were exceptional, which would mean that his son was living off his wife’s talents! In any case, Old Man Wang wanted to see what was going on for himself. After all, he was worried. On one hand, he was concerned that if his son’s wife was domineering, his son would be emasculated and lose his manhood; on the other hand, he was anxious about what his son would do if the business faced difficulties in the future. In short, he had a lot of worries. “Brother, I want to discuss something with you.” Sanxi, after discussing with his wife for an entire evening, knew they couldn’t keep silent. Their big brother was already about to buy a train ticket. If they didn’t speak up now, big brother would leave. “What’s the matter? Just speak up! I can’t stand those who hem and haw and cower!” “Big brother, Zhenzi and I have no real skills. Even pig raising is beyond us, and we just thought, maybe we could work for you? The two of us should be able to earn enough to support ourselves and the kids.” Sanxi lacked ambition and knew he couldn’t handle pig raising, so he thought of following his big brother. In the village, many families had someone working in big brother’s restaurant, and it was rumored that they earned a lot each month— at least over a hundred yuan. With this in mind, and knowing that he and his wife weren’t lazy, he figured they could earn enough as long as they were diligent, to support their kids. If others could make money, why couldn’t they? But when it came to doing business, the couple lacked the courage; they were conservative people who feared taking risks. “If you want to come and work, it’s not impossible, but I’ll have to discuss it with your sister-in-law first. We’ve agreed that we will make decisions about the restaurant together, after a thorough discussion. How about this— you wait for news at home. After we’ve talked it over and reached an agreement, I’ll call you back, then you can buy your ticket and come up.” Wang Yan didn’t rashly agree, since even with his own father, he hadn’t consulted with Bai Yue, and he didn’t want to put his wife in a difficult position. Bai Yue’s temperament was surely not the kind to really hold a grudge, but this kind of thing required Bai Yue’s approval first, which was a matter of respect. He thought of making a phone call, but he was genuinely afraid Bai Yue would disagree. If Bai Yue really disagreed, what would he do then? He also couldn’t just abandon the elderly people at home, although it was possible to leave them to his two brothers. Yet he knew very well that his mother would certainly want to go with them, as the old lady had been constantly talking about Little Tangyuan these past few days, and she couldn’t bear to part. It simply wouldn’t do to just take the old lady and not the old man! So, he couldn’t add fuel to the fire at Bai Yue’s end with this matter.
