The old lady was a very shrewd person. She was definitely not the so-called benevolent person. Like most of the typical traditional women, she was a typical person who would help her relatives but not reason. She had never shown any interest in the outside world. However, she was extremely grateful to her relatives and friends who had helped her before. She was very afraid of owing others and would rather suffer losses herself.
Therefore, she would often be overly enthusiastic to make up for what she owed others. In fact, in He Fang's eyes, this was a lack of respect for others' space. Fang Quan was indeed a child, but the younger he was, the more he needed his own space and privacy. He really could not stand the old lady's care!
To him, everything about the Li family was new. He was not cultured and could not describe the words' refined 'and' quiet ', but he knew that they were good. He had never lived in such a grand house before. He dreamed of staying there for one night, but he had to avoid the old lady.
That night, the dinner was held at He Long's restaurant, not at the Li family's place. From the He family's perspective, He Long was the rightful host. He had to arrange a meal for Fang Quan, and it was unavoidable for him to have his sister and brother-in-law entertain the guests.
"Bro, what do you think of my restaurant?" He Long brought Fang Quan around his restaurant and said with a smile, "Come to my place. Let's cook together. If I eat, you'll have a share." Fang Quan nodded.
"Bro, you're the best." Fang Quan neither agreed nor rejected the offer. In fact, deep down in his heart, he absolutely did not want to be a cook. Even though He Long might not let him be a cook, there were only a few positions in the restaurant. You could either be a waiter, a picker, or a cook. To him, there was no point in being a cook!
He was no longer that country bumpkin who had just come out into the world!
He was interested in the position of a restaurant owner, but he had everything from the boss to the lady boss. He did not have to think about such a good thing.
"Xiao Quan, I'll arrange it. You just take care of yourself." He Fang naturally had his own ideas. He said to Fang Quan, "I have a radiator factory here, but it's in Xianghe. It's a bit far from here. I'll send it over in two days. At your age, it's impossible for you to go to school. You can learn from a master first. If you have the skills, you won't be afraid anywhere."
"To Xianghe?" The old lady smiled and said, "Isn't it a little far?"
She was not satisfied with this arrangement. What was the difference between going to Black River and staying in Black River?
However, she only expressed her doubts and had no intention of making things difficult for the young lady and her son-in-law. These two people had already done enough for the family.
"How about this? Little Quan used to be in the wood business, right?" Li He understood what the old lady meant.
"Other than wood, I don't know much about anything else." Fang Quan nodded. In fact, he still had a faint hope in his heart. His future would ultimately fall on this brother-in-law of his.
Li He asked, "Do you still want to continue doing this?"
Fang Quan said embarrassedly, "Brother-in-law, don't be embarrassed. This is the best. If there's anything else, I can do it. As long as I can earn money, I'm not afraid of suffering."
There was a precondition in Xiao Quan's words, which was to make money.
"You brat, you still want to ambush me?" Li He smiled and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it. We're all family, there's no need to be so formal. If it can be arranged, I will."
Fang Quan hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother-in-law, I want to go to the South. They all say that the lumber business in the South is better than in the North. Now, most of the goods in the market are from the South. Many of the logs are also sent to the South."
Go to the South?
This was an outcome that no one had expected.
"No, it's too far. I won't say anything. Your parents can't agree to it either. Neither of them will agree. You're a half-grown boy, and you won't even let anyone eat your bones." The first person to object was the old lady.
"Yeah, let's not talk about anything else. If you go alone, you won't even have a place to stay. You'll be bullied by others without any help. This won't do." He Fang also objected.
"Auntie, sister, I'm not a child anymore. If others can make a living, so can I." Xiao Quan was very conceited.
"Do you really want to go to the South?" Li He also objected, but he didn't say it out loud. To make a living in the South, one had to have a brain, physical strength, and financial resources. For someone like Xiao Quan, who had no education or experience, he could only start as a worker on the assembly line. Even then, he might not have a chance.
When Xiao Quan heard Li He's question, he nodded happily and said, "Brother-in-law, if I make a living, I might have a chance to make a comeback. If I can't, I'll just turn around. If I don't take the risk, I definitely won't have a chance. Moreover, you told me before that people should have dreams and fight for it, even if it means failure! "
He had the passion and dreams of a young man. Most of his persistence, stubbornness, passion, and struggle were used to prove himself.
"When you're young, you always want to make a living. However, the outside world is exciting and cruel at the same time. Don't blame me for speaking like an old man. These are the experiences and thoughts of someone who has been through it." Li He understood their thoughts. They always thought that passion and hope were the magic weapons that could solve all problems. "Do you want to reconsider? I can guarantee you one thing. If you really want to do the lumber business, I can arrange for you to work in the nearest factory. "
He definitely had a lumber factory under his name. However, he had no idea where it was and how big it was. He could only check it out later.
"Brother-in-law, I've definitely thought about it!" Fang Quan said firmly. "I want to go to the South!"
"Why are you so stubborn? Why don't you listen to your brother-in-law's arrangement? "The old lady was too anxious.
Fang Quan did not say anything. He kept his head down. Even when He Long toasted him, he just responded.
"Fine, you won't turn back until you hit the wall." He Fang was helpless. She looked at Li He and asked, "Can I?"
She did not know anyone in the South. She needed to rely on Li He.
"Yang Xuewen and Wan Liangyou are both in the lumber business in Shenzhen. If it doesn't work out, let him go there." Li He thought for a moment and said to Fang Quan, "One of them is my brother-in-law, and the other is my friend. If you really want to be in the lumber business, you can go to them. However, there is one thing. They are in the business of recycling old lumber. It might be different from what you think. "
"As long as it's lumber, I like it." Fang Quan was naturally overjoyed.
The He family sighed and shook their heads.
Since he had already gotten the approval, Fang Quan did not want to stay another day. He rushed to the South.
