Chapter 326: Chapter 326: Persuasion

After all, it was for them.

Lu Zhenguo took a sip of wine and remained silent.

Liu Yushu turned her head and asked Lu Zhenguo, "What do you think? Do you want to go and ask for it?"

"Let me just say, I don’t care either way, it doesn’t matter if we don’t get it," Liu Yushu said. "To be honest, I can’t be bothered to argue with them. Even if we eventually get the money, the process is surely going to be very unpleasant."

"I definitely don’t want to end up not getting the money and making myself furious in the process," Liu Yushu curled her lip.

Besides, Lu Youxi was very busy, where would he find the time to squabble with the Lu Family’s people here?

They were always stuck in Hexing Village all day long.

If it really came down to a fight, they were in the Imperial Capital, and would surely have to shuttle back and forth to Hexing Village, just the thought of it gave Liu Yushu a headache.

Since Lu Youxi also didn’t want the trouble, then she was even less willing.

As for what had been given away in the past, Liu Yushu knew there was little chance of getting it back.

Her current thought was that nobody from the Lu Family should ever think of taking advantage of them again.

Everything their family had now was earned by Lu Youxi, and had nothing to do with Lu Zhenguo.

The Lu Family didn’t deserve to take Lu Youxi’s things.

As for the Lu Family’s property, even if there should have been a share for Lu Zhenguo, she was too lazy to ask for it.

Lu Zhenguo exhaled and said, "Since both you and Youxi have no interest in these things, then I won’t fight for them either."

Lu Zhenguo put down his wine glass, "Let’s just focus on doing our business well in the Imperial Capital."

Liu Yushu nodded.

"You see, what did I tell you? I knew they wouldn’t want it," the village chief’s wife said to the village chief.

The village chief smiled and said, "No matter what, we have to let Youxi’s family know about this. Whether they want it or not, they have the right to know, and as the village chief, it’s my duty to convey the information accurately."

Lu Youxi thanked the village chief.

However, with this demolition matter, it looks like Ge Guifen and the Lu Family’s elders will have something to fuss about again.

"Let’s not talk about this anymore." Lu Youxi lifted his glass and said to Grandma Xu, "Grandma Xu, Happy Spring Festival!"

"Happy Spring Festival!" Grandma Xu’s smile was so wide that her mouth couldn’t close.

"Actually, Grandma Xu, the main reason we’re back this time is for you," Lu Youxi said. "With the village chief here, we also want him to hear about it."

"For me?" Grandma Xu hurriedly said, "I’m fine here, you didn’t have to rush back for me!"

Having everyone together for dinner tonight, Grandma Xu actually had her suspicions.

Now that Lu Youxi had said it directly, her heart felt warm, but at the same time, she felt regretful for being a burden on them.

"Aunt Xu, I should have come to see you sooner," Xu Jingmin said. "Taking advantage of the New Year’s visit was only proper, you shouldn’t feel any regret about it."

"Grandma Xu, here’s the thing, I was wondering if you could go help me in the Imperial Capital?" Lu Youxi knew Grandma Xu didn’t want to burden others.

If it were like the last time with Zhou Shuyan, simply suggesting to bring Grandma Xu to the Imperial Capital, she would definitely not agree.

So, Lu Youxi simply said he wanted Grandma Xu to help out.

"Help out?" Grandma Xu looked down at herself and laughed, "What help could this old bag of bones be? It’s good enough if I don’t cause you trouble."

Grandma Xu laughed and said, "Youxi, I know what you mean, you’re actually worried about me being old and living here alone, that’s why you’re finding ways to persuade me to go to the Imperial Capital for care."

"Especially Shuyan, you really don’t need to dwell on the fact that I saved you. I didn’t exert much effort, and moreover, during your time in Xing Village, you really did a lot for me, you’ve already repaid me plenty," Grandma Xu said. "I’m actually quite comfortable here, surrounded by familiar neighbors, and with the village chief looking out for the village."

"I’m familiar with Xing Village and with Tai Town. I feel more at ease living in an environment I know. The Imperial Capital is a big city; I’m even afraid I might get lost just by walking a few steps."

"I’m old; I might not be able to adapt to the pace of the Imperial Capital," Grandma Xu continued. "Moreover, there’s a lot of pressure living in the Imperial Capital. Although my children don’t live in the Imperial Capital, they work in the city. It’s hard enough living in a normal city, let alone in the Imperial Capital."

"You two have already settled in the Imperial Capital, no easy feat, so don’t worry about me anymore," Grandma Xu said with a smile. "Look at me now, my legs and feet are still nimble, I can still work and earn money. You really don’t have to worry."

"Grandma Xu, I really do need your help," Lu Youxi said. "I’ve opened an internet cafe in the Imperial Capital, you know about it, right?"

"I know," Grandma Xu nodded. "You’re so capable, it hasn’t been long since you arrived in the Imperial Capital and you’re already your own boss."

Lu Youxi continued: "Our internet cafe also takes orders for boxed lunches; it’s my mom who prepares the lunches for the internet cafe customers. The feedback is especially good, to the point that now, many customers come to our internet cafe not to use the internet but for the boxed lunches."

"So I simply took over the shop opposite our cafe and plan to open a small restaurant," Lu Youxi said. "This way, when internet cafe customers order boxed lunches, they can have them picked up by staff from across the street, which is more convenient than before. It also allows guests who just want to eat to directly dine in the restaurant."

"But because of this change, I’m afraid my mom can’t manage alone. Even though we will hire additional staff, they will only be responsible for assisting and taking care of sanitation and serving dishes up front," Lu Youxi explained. "The restaurant staff will be from a program we’ve arranged with our school, offering work-study positions, convenient for students who need a part-time job at our restaurant."

Unconsciously, Lu Youxi changed his terminology, starting to brainstorm ideas for Grandma Xu.

Saying "our restaurant" to Grandma Xu, even though she had not agreed yet, she was already starting to see herself as part of the restaurant.

"It’s just that now, aside from my mom, there’s nobody else who can cook. Students might be able to make home-cooked meals for themselves, but it is surely insufficient to the standard of opening a restaurant for customers," Lu Youxi said. "If we were to hire another assistant cook, it is really..."

Lu Youxi chuckled embarrassedly, "It really is a bit expensive, plus the labor costs in the Imperial Capital are so high. A proper chef is even more expensive; even if I don’t hire a proper chef but just an assistant, it’s still a significant expense."

"So you see, that’s why I’ve come to ask you," Lu Youxi said. "I was wondering if you could help by going to the Imperial Capital with my mom to run the restaurant. You’re family, and that’s why I feel more at ease. Otherwise, with only my mom in the restaurant, I’m worried she is too gentle to manage so many people and might be bullied. That would be so unjust."
