"Then let Uncle Sun come over. He's a teacher too, and teaching university students is much easier and more prestigious than teaching high schoolers. He could teach students and keep Cousin company while she studies. Wouldn't that be great?"
Uncle Sun Huo was quite interested in Li Rongxiu's suggestion. As a teacher, Sun Huo had always taught at a local key high school and genuinely enjoyed the work. But compared with his job, he worried more about his daughter's life. Besides, Wancheng University was one of the Empire's top ten key universities. Being able to teach at such a school would also prove his capabilities.
Most importantly, he could come with his daughter so she would not have to adjust to an unfamiliar place alone. Besides, his wife, Li Bingyue, had always wanted to open their branch company in Wancheng. They could take this opportunity to ask the eldest branch for help. As long as the eldest branch was willing to lend a hand, their small company would have no trouble establishing itself in Wancheng.
Seeing how her husband had been swayed after just a few words, Li Bingyue shot him a furious glare, frustrated by his failure to live up to expectations. Teachers really were too rigid-minded. The old man was seriously ill in bed now, sickly and weak every day. No one knew how much longer he could hold on.
If they left at a time like this, then once the old man passed away, would Li Bingxue's family not snatch up all the remaining inheritance? What would be left for them then? It was like throwing away a watermelon to pick up sesame seeds. No matter how promising Wancheng's market was, could it compare with the Li family's ancestral estate and foundation built over a century?
