CHAPTER 305: CHAPTER 305: OF COURSE WE’RE GOING

"Yes! Xiao Yu is right. If she’s really close to you, then why did Xiao Xue lock the door and not let you guard the entrance?" After being reminded by her daughter, Li Guihua had a moment of clarity and immediately countered her brother-in-law.

"Well, that’s because cleaning the house is exhausting! Xiao Xue didn’t want me to tire myself out..." Gangzi still tried to make excuses.

"Come on, brother. No matter what you’re looking for, just leave now! Whatever you need to find or take, wait until Xiao Xue returns. Don’t make it hard for us! Everything in this house is precious. If anything goes missing, we can’t afford to replace it!" Li Guihua pushed him out directly.

Gangzi had no choice. No matter how troublesome he was, he couldn’t start a fight with his sister-in-law, so he was pushed out.

He dared not mention it to his wife when he got home, fearing Wang Xiaoping’s temper. If he riled her up, it would definitely get out of hand.

Meanwhile, Bai Dahe’s family of three neatly tidied the house, coming over to heat it up twice a day to keep it warm and cozy.

Li Guihua was full of energy, just waiting to have a big feast on the day of the banquet.

It had been so long since she had eaten anything greasy. Initially, she was counting down the days until the New Year, but unexpectedly, there was a pleasant surprise to enjoy a banquet. That truly made her happy.

On Lin Xue’s side, after returning home, she gathered everyone in her room for a family meeting.

Once all eleven family members were present, Bai Xianglan, taking the lead, asked, "Xiao Xue, what’s the matter for calling us here? Your grandma is still keeping Xiao Yuan’s grandparents company!"

Lin Xue, seeing that everyone was present and after listening to her grandma, smiled and began to speak.

"Grandma, Mom and Dad! And all of you, too! Don’t rush to respond to what I’m about to say. Think it over, then decide! No matter what you decide, I won’t be upset. I just want to know what you think!"

As soon as Lin Xue finished, Lin Chuan knew what his eldest sister was going to say. The other kids also knew, except for the two toddlers.

"Big sis, you don’t need to say more. I’m in, no matter what!" he declared his determination loudly.

"Little Chuan, hold off for now. Let big sis ask everyone else’s opinions first!" Lin Xue looked at her brother with relief. She had succeeded, making him central among the kids.

She was now worried about Xiao Yun, as Sun Bing was here, and how Xiao Yun would choose was a tough nut to crack.

Moving to the Capital City would bring better prospects, but they had already met each other’s families and agreed to get engaged during the holiday.

"Little Chuan, let your big sister talk!" Lin Daliang stopped Lin Chuan from interrupting.

"Dad, Mom, Grandma, here’s the thing. I’m about to get married soon, right? So, naturally, I’ll be moving to the Capital City. Being so far away, I’m worried about leaving all of you! That’s why I want to bring you all along!" Lin Xue expressed her thoughts, noticing the three of them didn’t have exaggerated reactions, confidently continuing, "But don’t worry. Once we’re there, we won’t be living in Zhang Yuan’s house. I have a place in the Capital City, even bigger than here! We’ll live in our own home, and there won’t be any issues!"

"Wow! Big sis, I’m packing up right now. I want to go with you!" Lin Xia, being quick-tempered, interrupted again!

"Alright! You, along with Little Chuan, have made your statements, now let me finish!" Lin Xue raised her hand to stop them.

"Okay!" Lin Xia nodded.

Lin Xue continued, looking at her father, "Dad, I’ll find you a job in the Capital City, and it won’t be more tiring than working at the milk powder factory!"

"Xiao Xue! Both your mom and I are willing to follow you anywhere! If we could move to the town with you, we can go anywhere. Just... I’m worried about causing trouble for you! We’re unfamiliar with the place, and finding a job won’t be easy!" Lin Daliang was hesitant to leave his job that supported the family well. He was quite satisfied with their current life, as his children could attend school without going hungry, living steadily.

Following the eldest daughter to the Capital City, where everything would be unfamiliar, presented issues concerning his job and the children’s education.

"Indeed, dear! Going to the Capital City, we’re really unfamiliar with the place and afraid of burdening you!" Wang Cuihua nodded.

"Grandma! What about you? Are you willing to go with me?" Lin Xue shifted her attention to her grandma, disregarding her parents for the moment.

"I’m willing! I’m already this old, and the rest of my days would be spent enjoying my grandchildren. As long as I can be close to my granddaughter, there’s nothing I’m unwilling about! I’m already planning on helping you with the kids!" Bai Xianglan had no reservations like Lin Daliang and Wang Cuihua; since her eldest granddaughter wanted to take her along, she would go! Knowing her granddaughter was capable enough to support an old person, she held no concern. Besides, she liked being around her granddaughter and grandson-in-law.

"Then it’s settled. My biggest worry was grandma’s attachment to this place she’s lived in for most of her life. Since grandma is willing to go, then the concerns about mom and dad are no longer problems!" Lin Xue clapped her hands and continued, "First of all, I have a big house in the Capital City that can easily accommodate the whole family! Secondly, Dad’s job can be easily resolved by Zhang Yuan! Additionally, schooling for the siblings won’t be an issue; they’ll all attend the same school, which will prevent any separation! Mom can continue to help grandma with the kids, and leisure activities like shopping won’t be any different from life now!"

Hearing this, the younger siblings enthusiastically raised their hands in agreement, their eyes filled with anticipation. Lin Daliang and Wang Cuihua glanced at each other and nodded.

Having a capable daughter who considered them was a good thing, and since she mentioned having her own house in the Capital City, they wouldn’t be dependent on their son-in-law, which gave them confidence and reduced the need to be considerate of others’ feelings. Nothing was unfavorable about it!

Furthermore, in the Capital City, the children would have better future prospects, seemingly leaving them no reason to refuse.

"Just... about Xiao Yun..." Lin Xue spoke with some difficulty.

"Big sis, I want to go too! If Sun Bing truly loves me, he won’t be defeated by this brief separation! I believe in his capability to join me in the Capital City! I’ve heard from Brother-in-law that there are excellent teachers in the Capital City who can teach me more! I long to learn and become an outstanding designer! So I must go!"

Lin Yun spoke earnestly, turning to her parents, "Dad, Mom, don’t hesitate. One should strive to go upward! The Capital City offers more opportunities for us to grow faster! Let’s go!"

Wang Cuihua was astounded by her usually soft-spoken daughter’s words, which now felt so potent—making it seem like not going to the Capital City equated to lacking ambition.

"Alright!" Lin Xue took the lead in applauding, "A person should have pursuits and dreams! Otherwise, what’s the difference between them and lifeless shells? Day in, day out, passing countless identical days until they age and perish! With no achievements and no significance." Lin Xue could spout endless motivational words, but it wasn’t the right timing, so she turned to everyone.

"Are you going to consider it some more, or decide now? Or is there anyone who doesn’t want to go?"

Bai Xianglan was the first to speak, "Grandma’s going!"

The younger siblings, including Lin Yun, echoed together, "I’ll go too! With big sister!"

Lin Daliang and Wang Cuihua exchanged a glance, with Wang Cuihua smiling as she spoke, "Of course, we’re going!"

With that, the family’s decision to move was made! Zhang Yuan had been outside listening, and upon hearing this, a wide grin spread across his face.
