Chapter 499: Chapter 499: Qiu Ye Returns to Her Maternal Home
“I’ll talk to my dad about this when he gets back,” Xu Ying said. “You all head home for now. If we can repair the road, we’ll let you know.”
A few of the old folks nodded eagerly and then turned to leave.
Granny Huo, sitting in the yard, watched this scene and chuckled, “Poor souls probably had a tough time of it, or else they wouldn’t be fixing the road now. They just lack foresight, unable to see the bigger picture.”
Huo Chen nodded in agreement, it was still a matter of not having enough money, being too poor.
“Can this road really be fixed?” Granny Huo asked with curiosity.
Huo Chen, seeing his granny’s little scheme, replied with a smile, “Of course it can, don’t you know my father?”
Granny Huo laughed heartily. True, Village Chief Xu always had the village’s best interest at heart and had been hoping for the road to be repaired.
Now that everyone had brought it up, he would surely discuss the matter with the leaders.
Looking at Huo Chen, Granny Huo’s eyes were filled with a tender smile, “If it can be fixed, let’s fix it together. It’s no good being rich by yourself without any friends. If you run into trouble and no one is there to help, that would be your own fault. But if everyone gets rich together, people value relationships. You help others, and they will help you. That’s the kind of road that can go on and on.”
What do you think?
