Chapter 260 The Eldest Sister is so Capricious (6)_1
"Yes, indeed!" Pei Qin nodded with a smile.
Grandma Sun immediately went to her daughter’s house and asked them to come to the town and work at the noodle shop.
Sun Hongmei’s family had also fallen on hard times over the past few years. But she worried, if they worked in the noodle shop in town and caused trouble or even damaged Xiao Pei’s reputation—what then? With the whole family in tow, it wouldn’t be convenient to live at her parents’ home either. Conflict was inevitable over time, and she didn’t want her mother stuck in the middle, suffering.
So Grandma Sun suggested they bring the two kids and live in town, "...no need to shuttle back and forth every day, nor do you have to put up with your mother-in-law’s attitude at home! In another couple of years, once you’ve saved up some silver, you can also send the young lad to school!"
Zhao Chengzhi was quite tempted, "We’ll live in town, but not with my mother. We’ll rent two rooms. Things are tough now, but if I work hard, they should improve after the New Year."
Grandma Sun’s heart stirred, "Then don’t talk about this for now, first you need to split the household!" she said, looking at Zhao Chengzhi.
As the eldest son, even if Zhao Chengzhi divided the family, he would have to live with his parents and take care of them. But if he could separate from the second and the third brothers’ families, making them provide for themselves and do their own work, it would ease a lot of burdens for his daughter.
"This..." Zhao Chengzhi found the idea of splitting the family difficult to broach.
"Now that the autumn harvest is done and the grains are stored, it’s the perfect time to divide the household. Each family can mind its own and stop fussing over every little thing, which will actually make the relationships smoother! When three families live together, even though they are brothers, they quarrel like enemies every day!" Grandma Sun had long wanted her daughter to split from the family, but hadn’t found the opportunity. A hasty suggestion wouldn’t be accepted by Zhao Chengzhi. Now, with the three-year opportunity to run the noodle shop, it was the perfect time to divide the household.
