Chapter 611 - 609 Complaining about Hardships
"Don’t get me started. Ever since you suggested that last time, my old man hasn’t been forcing me to study but now he’s forcing me out the door to visit relatives. He keeps saying that he’s getting old and that all these social obligations will be passed on to me in the future! Since the first day of the New Year, I’ve had no rest. I’ve visited all the relatives in town, and now only those in Jing County and my maternal family remain. He’s insisting I go."
Wu Zhongbao spoke as if he was helpless, but in fact, he was quite happy. Visiting relatives was at least better than being forced to study.
Song Chongjin listened to him, gave Wu Zhongbao a very sympathetic glance, and said nothing.
Wang Yongzhu saw this and, without showing her thoughts, continued to make small talk, "That works out well. We’re also going to Jing County. We can travel together; it’s good to have company on the road."
When Wu Zhongbao heard this, he was even more delighted, "That’s perfect. I was just complaining about how boring the journey would be with no one to talk to."
The young servant following behind Wu Zhongbao to attend to him felt very wronged: Young master, are we not human?
Wu Zhongbao had long reserved with the Escort Agency. The carriage and everything were fully prepared. As soon as he arrived and his things were loaded up, he could get on and be on his way.
With the addition of the Wang Family, it just meant one or two more people in each carriage.
Wu Zhongbao had reserved the best carriage from the Escort Agency and enthusiastically invited Old Granny Zhang, Song Chongjin, and Wang Yongzhu to join him in his carriage.
Old Granny Zhang, however, didn’t dare to impose. Although Benefactor Wu’s son was very amiable, she always felt somewhat uneasy and promptly declined.
Wu Zhongbao didn’t insist. After arranging a separate carriage for Old Granny Zhang and Wang Yongzhu, he pulled Song Chongjin into his own.
