Chapter 282 - 29: New Plan (2)
Sometimes you habitually care about certain things, care about others’ opinions, for reasons that even you can’t articulate. And when you have to put down this concern, you feel as if a heavy burden has been lifted, and life suddenly shines with a ray of sunshine. It’s as if you’re not losing something, but gaining something.
Jones is probably in this situation.
After falling out with his father, not only did he not worry, but he actually felt as if his life had taken on a new color, and even the land beneath his feet felt more solid. He carefully planned and meticulously kept accounts. Because the sky won’t drop pies, everything must be borne by himself, which in turn gave him more motivation to strive. His entire spirit was different.
The next day, after another busy day, as night fell, Jones set off for Hilde and came before Adelle.
"Oh, my dear brother Jones, let’s head to the trade guild right now!"
"Wasn’t it supposed to be a brotherhood gathering?"
"I’ve canceled it for today. There’s nothing urgent anyway, and after returning yesterday, I already informed them about canceling today’s gathering. So, I can quietly accompany you for the whole day."
"Thank you," Jones replied with a smile.
Riding in Adelle’s carriage, Jones traveled down the long road from the mountain, all the way to the streets of Hilde.
The night in Hilde was as lively as ever, with people everywhere on the streets. All sorts of races, each busy with their own affairs. Frequent commercial transactions are the foundation of Hilde’s prosperity.
If it were before, Jones probably wouldn’t have been interested in these things, but now, he’s interested in everything he sees. He looks twice at everything, even the road beneath his feet.
