Siheyuan: How many worlds does the system integrate?
Chapter 225: Master Bai's Explanation
Li Xuewu sat in front of Bai Jingqi's bed.
Bai Jingqi looked at Li Xiangxiu, who had been with me for so many years, and reached out to grab Li Xuewu's hand, squeezing it hard: "I don't have much time left. The only thing that worries me is Xiangxiu. She has been with me through all the ups and downs for so many years, and she has suffered a lot. Now she doesn't have a child of her own, and there is no one to take care of her in her old age!
Xuewu, I am so lucky to meet you when I am about to be buried. Although you have a lot of problems, I can see that you are a man of loyalty and commitment, so I want you to promise me that after I am gone, you will take good care of her for me, so that she can be safe and happy!"
Li Xuewu also held Bai Jingqi's hand and said, "Don't worry, old man. I recognized my aunt a long time ago. She has been my relative for a long time. What's more, I have Xiaohong and Chengzong here. These names were given by my aunt. He will be accepted into my branch now!"
Bai Jingqi looked at the child in Li Xiangxiu's arms and waved at her: "Xuewu is a good child. You can marry him and have children. You will have someone by your side. After I leave, take Xiaohong and Chengzong to live in your own courtyard. Don't worry about the things here anymore. Let those unfilial guys earn their own living!"
Li Xiangxiu sat on the bed and straightened the quilt for him. "I know. I have seen through this mansion all those years ago. I was also confused back then. I was determined to buy a child and ended up raising an ungrateful person. Now I won't do that anymore. As long as they can learn martial arts and this child can accompany me, I will be content. I will go down to accompany you in a few years."
"Okay, then we'll be buried together, and I'll serve you!" Bai Jingqi smiled with some difficulty.
Then he turned to look at Li Xuewu and said, "All the antiques and curios in my home have been donated to the museum. There is not much left except those few beloved things I have. You have been eyeing those things of mine for a long time. Now I am giving them to you together with our chessboard as a gift. You can take them away while I am still alive."
"Hey, old man, I'm not really after your things. I have collected a lot of good things over the years!" Li Xuewu said with a forced smile.
"What do you want? You can't bring these things with you when you are born, and you can't take them with you when you die. If you give them to those unfilial descendants, they will eventually ruin them. It's better to leave them in the hands of someone like you who knows how to cherish them!"
Then, as if recalling the past, he sighed, "Ah, my mother worked so hard to build up the family business, but it was ruined in my hands. How can I explain to her when I pass away?"
Li Xuewu could understand Bai Jingqi's current mood very well. The family business that the second grandmother risked her life to buy, the once prosperous mansion, has now become like this. Although there are various helplessness caused by the times, it is indeed in decline in his hands.
How can I not feel regretful when there is no one behind me who can support me and start a new family?
Fortunately, Bai Jingqi persisted until he could see hope. Li Xuewu leaned over the bed and whispered in Bai Jingqi's ear: "Grandpa, the world has changed again. Uncle Deng wants to open up. The previous industries have been gradually returned to the hands of the families. He encourages the people to vigorously develop industry and commerce. The Bai family's old shop will soon be revived!"
Reform and opening up had just been proposed, and many people across the country were still half-believing and half-doubting. Li Xiangxiu and her friends seldom went out, so the news was relatively lagging behind. Bai Jingqi had been bedridden, let alone knowing about these things.
Hearing what Li Xuewu said, Bai Jingqi was obviously much more energetic: "Is it true? The Bai family's assets have returned to our Bai family?"
"Yes, old man, you heard it right. The assets have already been returned. The Bai family can be revitalized. You have to be energetic and choose a person to take the helm!"
Bai Jingqi finally smiled at this moment, a smile that came from the heart. No matter how difficult it was before, he finally made it through: "Okay, okay, I finally waited for it, and now I can face my ancestors with dignity.
Xiangxiu, go make a phone call and ask Zhanyuan to come back to me. I have something to say to him!"
He now wants to find a helmsman for the Bai family, someone who can lead the Bai family to prosperity again.
Li Xiangxiu turned her head and looked at Li Xuewu with an inquiring look.
Li Xuewu nodded: "Auntie, go and call him. After all, Zhan Yuan is the eldest grandson of this lineage, so he has to make the decision on this matter!"
Not long after, Bai Zhanyuan rushed over and asked as soon as he entered the door: "What happened to my grandpa?"
He thought something had happened to the old man. Li Xiangxiu didn't explain clearly when she called, but she was extremely anxious. Bai Zhanyuan, who was in a meeting, dropped a bunch of people and ran over.
"Xuewu is here too!" Bai Zhanyuan greeted Li Xuewu sitting on the edge of the bed when he entered the room, then walked up to check on the old man's condition.
After taking the patient's pulse, he spoke: "It's nothing, why did you call me here in such a hurry? I'm still busy!"
"Bang!" The tickler in Bai Jingqi's hand hit Bai Zhanyuan's head directly.
"Hey, Grandpa, what are you doing?"
Bai Jingqi swung his sword a few more times, but couldn't reach the person: "I'll beat you to death, you stinky boy, tell me, is this openness that martial arts talk about true?"
"It's true! What's wrong?" Bai Zhanyuan was a little confused by this question, because why did you hit me?
"Then why didn't you tell me when you came here before? And why didn't you tell me about returning the old shop and assets?"
So it was about this matter. Bai Zhanyuan suddenly realized, "You are talking about this matter. It has been relaxed now, but the final division of our Bai family's old account will still be returned to the state-owned enterprise. This part cannot be returned!"
Bai Jingqi looked at Bai Zhanyuan and Li Xuewu in confusion, with disappointment evident in his eyes: "So our Bai family is completely hopeless?"
"Not really. Although Baicaoting is used by the state, we can also open another store with this name!" Bai Zhanyuan explained.
"That's good, that's good, I feel relieved now. I called you back just for this matter. You have to take up the responsibility of supporting our Bai family. Baicaotang cannot fall into decline in your hands!" Bai Jingqi looked at Bai Zhanyuan with burning eyes.
"Grandpa, I'm a state official now. How can I resign and come back to do this? Besides, my medical skills can't support it!" Bai Zhanyuan, who was about to make a further step, certainly didn't want to come back to do this.
"You are the eldest grandson, if you don't take care of this, who will? Do you want me, an old man, to die with regret?"
Seeing that Bai Jingqi was a little anxious, Bai Zhanyuan hurriedly comforted him: "Grandpa, Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely choose a suitable person for you!"
