Mo Beihan continued, “Mom, it’s in the past. You’ve lived well without that man all these years. My grandparents are very kind, and they treat me well. They’re different from that man. I will bring the children with me to the Mo family. I will take care of them. The Mo family will take care of them. You will not have any burden on yourself. Live for yourself once, all right?”
Jiang Yingqiu suddenly panicked, “Are you going to take the children away? Then what about me?”
She had lived for her children all these years. At first, it was for her son and then for her grandson. That was how she had spent her life. With Mo Beihan suddenly telling her that he was going to take away the children, they would not need her care anymore. She felt out of place all of a sudden.
Mo Beihan comforted her and said, “Mom, you won’t be left behind. Don’t worry, all right? The Mo family is in the capital, so I will bring all the children there. You will follow us as well. I’ll find a house for you outside. I can give you your allowance. If you want to find a job to do, I’ll arrange it for you. If you don’t want to do anything, I have enough money to sustain your life. I will never leave you behind. All the children will come and visit you often as well.”
Jiang Yingqiu was stunned. She did not know what she should do or what she wanted to do.
Mo Beihan felt sad for her.
“Mom, since we’re all going over, Jiang Xun and Ping Ping will follow as well. Yao Yao will be going overseas, and no one will help to take care of her teacher, Jiang Yiru. Jiang Yiru is the descendant of the Jiang family and will definitely help her. So Jiang Xun and Ping Ping will be going over to her place. You should go as well.”
Jiang Yingqiu was shocked, “Me?”
“Yes. When the few brothers of the Gu family were here during Chinese New Year last year, they always brought the children to the elderly at the cowshed to study. Even Aunt Yunshuang went together. You sometimes went over to join them when everyone was so passionate about studying.
“You said that your health is compromised, so you need to learn more from Teacher Jiang, especially on body nourishment. Then you’ll be able to take care of yourself. I remember that you were very interested in medicine, right?
“I feel you can learn more from her and take care of Jiang Xun and Ping Ping at the same time. I’m not asking you to be as skilled as Yao Yao. You just need to learn some basics from Teacher Jiang as she is a famous doctor in Jiangnan. Then you will have some skills.
“Then I will arrange a job for you in the clinic. You can help do some simple tasks and earn some money.
“You don’t need to earn big money. As long as you have something to do and keep yourself occupied, all right?”
Jiang Yingqiu was totally shocked.
She had never imagined such a life that she would be going to the city and working.
This was a dream for millions of people. But she… she was just a lady from the countryside.
“I… I don’t think I can. I don’t know anything. I went over last time just to join the rest. I…”
Jiang Yingqiu was a little scared.
“Beihan, the capital is so far from here. We don’t know anyone there. Furthermore, you said that that man got married again and has a son. If you go to the Mo family… that woman will find you trouble. Our children are still young. They will get bullied there. She’s from a big family, and we won’t be able to fight her…”
Mo Beihan smiled, “Rest assured. No one can bully me. I’m going to the Mo family as the heir.”
