Struggle in Ancient Times

Chapter 115.2

“Why are you old? Dad is only thirty-two, and the fifth grandpa is eighty-six this year. To be honest, you just don’t want to go to the border with me? After all, it is close to other countries, prone to war, and poor, so…,” Liao Tingyu said dejectedly, ” After being separated into such a place, my father and mother don’t want to live with me.”

These words hurt Mother Deng’s heart!

She never wanted to be separated from her youngest son; this was her pet peeve!

She didn’t care about her husband now. She was about to be sent back to her hometown without knowing anything.

“Ouch! My son! Don’t say that. You are the biggest success in my life. It’s too late for my mother to be happy! Mother won’t go back; I will stay with you. Don’t listen to the old man.” She said started crying.

Liao Tingyu hurriedly wiped Mother Deng’s tears: “Mom, stop crying, why are you crying! You cry so hard, my heart aches. I want to stay with mother and eat her food.”

Liao Ming also said he didn’t expect this development: “Old woman, why are you crying when you already so old?”

“Do you think I want to cry? I just can’t control it. Why do you have to go back? Why can’t I just go with him as a parent? He’s a good son, and it’s hard to raise him so well. It feels so uncomfortable to leave him like this!” Mother Deng yelled angrily.

Liao Ming also looked helpless, there was nothing he could do!

What a mess this family had become!

Those who work as officials from outside Beijing did not take their parents or brothers with them.

But there were still families from remote places like theirs.

“I… forget it.” Liao Ming sighed: “We went together as a family. You have to pay more attention. Your father doesn’t understand the twists and turns in officialdom. Your mother is a shrewd one. The only thing I can do is help you take care of a few of things.”

Mother Deng also knew her own temperament, and she was not a rich old lady. She pursed her lips and wiped away her tears, feeling a little aggrieved. She has restrained herself a lot since her son passed the scholar examination.

She also knew that she was of no use, but she just wanted to go along and feel happy when she saw her son every day.

“I know all this, and I believe everyone. Our family has always been united. Dad, just agree!” Liao Tingyu blinked and looked at Liao Ming, pretending to be cute.

“Okay, but we have to go back. The officials don’t give you much time. You go first and we will follow.”

“What are you going back for?” Liao Tingyu was very surprised.

“I should go back to worship my ancestors. After all, you are the only person in my Liao family lineage who has achieved such great achievements in hundreds of years. Logically, you should go, but it is a matter of time. I will go and do it for you,” Liao Ming expressed his desire to attend the ancestral worship event.

“Dad, actually there is nothing we can do at this time, and there are those postmen reporting the news. If you come to the village, people already got the news long ago, and you will not be able to catch up by then,” Liao Tingyu also knew what Liao Ming was thinking, which was just to save face.

There were very few things to show off in this society.

Liao Ming also knew this, but he just wanted to go back and talk personally about it to the people in the village.

But Liao Tingyu was also right. When he was admitted to the Juren Examination two months ago, when the officials went to announce the good news, their village should have received the news, and the ancestral hall must have been opened early.

“Okay, let’s pack up our things and go together as a family. We will settle in Linxian from now on,” Liao Ming thought about it and had to give up. No matter how important face is, it was not as important as his son.

Mother Deng stopped crying. She stood up and actively prepared things, especially putting the house up for sale.

Liao Shi was also shocked today. Liao Ming said he wanted to go back and not follow his little brother. He thought he had no chance.

From a selfish point of view, he was still willing to follow Liao Tingyu

After all, he was a dull person, and his little brother loved him wholeheartedly.

‘My own child is also older. If he is taught by Liao Tingyu, his future development prospects will be very good.’

As soon as he got home, he saw Wen Xiuer packing her things, “Has the time to leave been set?”

“Mother-in-law has already put the house up for sale. My brother-in-law’s reputation is easy to use. He sold it in a short time and made dozens of taels. She is so happy.”

Wen Xiuer put down the things in her hands and poured a glass of water for Liao Shi, “Have a rest and don’t go out tomorrow. We agreed to stay for three days and we will set off in three days.”

Liao Shi took a sip, he whispered, the smile in his eyes could not be hidden no matter how hard he tried: “Okay, my little brother is a capable person and can control my mother. My father seems to be sleeping in the woodshed today!”

“Stop thinking nonsense, you have thought about it. Fortunately, my brother-in-law is a nice person and is willing to take us with him.”

Wen Xiuer’s voice became softer and softer, “I really hope that when I get there, my brother-in-law can arrange a good position for you, don’t be like this, running around all day.”

Liao Shi didn’t hear the last sentence clearly: “Wife, what are you talking about? I didn’t hear clearly.”

“It’s nothing. Go to the kitchen to get food. Being hungry for a long time is not good for your stomach.” Wen Xiuer didn’t want to say it a second time. She didn’t want to give her husband the impression of taking advantage of her brother-in-law.

Her husband was very chauvinistic and the whole family was the same.

“Oh! Okay, take your time.” Liao Shi went to the kitchen to look for food.
