Chapter 19 Thoughts
Chapter 19 Thoughts
Zisu knew her uncle had divorced; it had been like that in her past life. However, she pretended not to know and asked with concern, "Uncle, what happened? What's wrong?"
Yu Zhe said with a wry smile, "Because my uncle is going to Yi County, your aunt divorced me. Now the family is old and young, and my uncle is going to that poor and desolate place. What are we going to do?"
Zisu said, "Uncle, Grandma and my little cousin will be taken care of by my mother and me, so you don't need to worry! But your trip to Yi County is fraught with danger, so I brought three guards with me. You can take them all with you! They are all quite skilled, and two of them used to be my father's men in the army. They have been trained on the battlefield!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhe was deeply moved: "No, if you give it to me, who will protect you?"
Zisu: "I plan to go back to my father's hometown with my mother, maternal grandmother, and younger cousin. The people there are kind and honest, and the families are very united. We'll be taken care of by the clan members, so nothing will happen to us!"
Yu Zhe: "That's even more impossible. If I remember correctly, your father's hometown is in the mountains, 500 miles away. Who knows what we might encounter along the way? You'll have to take care of the guards yourselves!"
Zisu: "Oh dear, Uncle, why are you so old-fashioned? On the way back, we can hire someone from the escort agency to escort you. Not only that, when you go to Yi County, you should also hire three more highly skilled bodyguards to escort you and stay by your side until you have established yourself in the area!"
"What? No way, how much money would that cost?" Yu Zhe gasped. "I don't need the bodyguards. I'll just keep two guards. You can each take one guard and hire a few more people from the escort agency to escort you back!"
Hiring a security escort agency to Yi County? That would cost a fortune, probably at least three thousand taels, and possibly even more than five thousand taels.
Zisu's attitude was very firm: "We must hire bodyguards. Money is not a problem. My mother and I pawned our jewelry for 10,000 taels of silver, and we also asked my uncle for 5,000 taels of silver for the division of the family property. After that, we brought some decorations out and pawned them for another 5,000 taels!"
Yu Zhe waved his hands repeatedly: "No, that's even more unacceptable! You only have so much money, and once it's used up, that's it. How can I take it?"
Zisu: "Most of these jewelry and decorations were part of Mother's dowry, and originally belonged to the Yu family. Now, it's only right that we take out some money to help Uncle."
Yu Zhe: "Since it's your mother's dowry, it belongs to her and has nothing to do with the Yu family anymore!"
Upon hearing this, Zisu became extremely anxious and stomped her foot hard: "Since that's the case, then I won't acknowledge you as my uncle anymore. You should leave now! If we meet again in the future, I'll pretend I don't know you!"
Having no other choice, Yu Zhe had to agree: "Okay, then consider it an old man borrowing Zisu!"
Zisu immediately beamed with joy: "Okay, then consider it a loan from my uncle!"
