Chapter 130 Going to Kyoto

As night falls, soft moonlight streams through the window, bathing the cozy bedroom in its warmth.

Jiang Man and Qin Yishen gently coaxed the child to sleep. Looking at the child's rosy cheeks and even breathing, their hearts were filled with tenderness.

After the child drifted off to sleep, they carefully left the room, went to the living room, sat on the sofa, and began a quiet night conversation.

Jiang Man leaned back on the sofa, a thoughtful look in his eyes, and said softly, "Yi Shen, what do you think about bringing Wang Xiu, Xu Laosan, and their children to Kyoto to develop their careers?"

Qin Yishen paused slightly, then looked at Jiang Man, signaling her to continue. Jiang Man sat up straight and said earnestly, "Look, Wang Xiu and Xu Laosan have been living here for a long time. Although it's stable, their opportunities are limited. Kyoto is different; there's more room for development, which is better for their and their child's future. Besides, Wang Xiu is such a good cook; we could open a restaurant together and maybe even make a name for ourselves."

Qin Yishen frowned slightly, lost in thought. He knew Jiang Man's kindness and enthusiasm, and understood that she genuinely cared about Wang Xiu's family.

After a while, Qin Yishen nodded slowly and said, "Your suggestion is not bad. Wang Xiu and Xu Laosan are down-to-earth and hardworking people. If they come to Beijing to develop their careers, they will definitely be able to live a better life with their efforts. Moreover, the children will have a companion to grow up with."

Seeing that Qin Yishen agreed with her idea, Jiang Man smiled with relief and said, "Then it's settled. We'll discuss it with them tomorrow."

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains and gently fell on the dining table.

Jiang Man and Qin Yishen prepared breakfast early and waited for Wang Xiu and Xu Laosan's family.

A short while later, Wang Xiu and Xu Laosan brought the children to the restaurant, and the family sat around the table to enjoy breakfast.

Jiang Man looked at Wang Xiu and Xu Laosan, cleared his throat, and said, "Sister Xiu, Third Brother, we want to talk to you about something today."

Wang Xiu and Xu Laosan exchanged a glance, a hint of doubt flashing in their eyes. Wang Xiu smiled and said, "Man'er, just say what's on your mind. There's no need for us to be so polite."

Jiang Man took a deep breath and said, "We want you and the children to come back to Kyoto with us to develop your careers."

Wang Xiu and Xu Laosan were stunned, their faces filled with shock. Wang Xiu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but then he was speechless.

Xu Laosan's eyes widened in disbelief.

After a while, Wang Xiucai came to his senses and quickly waved his hand, saying, "Man'er, this is unacceptable. What kind of place is the capital? What can we do there? We might just hold you back."

Xu Laosan chimed in, "Yes, Man'er, we appreciate your kindness, but this is all too sudden; we dare not believe it."

Seeing their anxious expressions, Jiang Man quickly said, "Sister Xiu, Third Brother, don't rush to refuse. Think about it, there are many opportunities in Kyoto. With Sister Xiu's skills, we can definitely open a restaurant together. Besides, the children will have a companion. Your child is the same age as Xinyao, and can receive a better education in Kyoto, which will broaden their future prospects."

Qin Yishen chimed in, "Man'er is right. Although the competition in Kyoto is fierce, as long as we work hard, we're sure to achieve something. You don't need to worry about anything; with us here, we won't let you suffer."

Wang Xiu's eyes reddened slightly. Looking at Jiang Man and Qin Yishen, she said with emotion, "You are so kind to us. But we have never been to Kyoto before and we are unfamiliar with the place. We are really afraid of causing you trouble."

Jiang Man grasped Wang Xiu's hand and said, "Sister Xiu, what are you saying? We're like family, there's no trouble at all. Besides, if you go, we can all be together as a family and take care of each other, wouldn't that be great?"

Xu Laosan lowered his head and pondered for a while before slowly saying, "Let us think about it some more. This matter is too important for us; we need to think it over carefully."

Jiang Man and Qin Yishen exchanged a glance and nodded. Jiang Man said, "Okay, Third Brother, Sister Xiu, take your time to think it over. There's no need to rush into a decision. But we sincerely hope that you can come to Kyoto with us and start a new life." In the following days, Wang Xiu and Xu Laosan were constantly troubled by this matter.

On the one hand, they were moved by Jiang Man and Qin Yishen's sincerity and longed for the development opportunities in Kyoto; on the other hand, they worried that they would not be able to adapt to life in Kyoto and would become a burden to Jiang Man and Qin Yishen.

Wang Xiu and Xu Laosan discussed this matter over and over again in the room.

Wang Xiu looked out the window and said softly, "Third brother, do you think we really want to go to Kyoto? I'm still a little scared."

Xu Laosan walked to her side, put his arm around her shoulder, and said, "I'm scared too, but Man'er and Yishen have a point. There's really not much we can do here for the child's future. Going to Kyoto might give the child a better life."

Wang Xiu nodded slightly and said, "But if we go, will it really work?"

Xu Laosan said firmly, "As long as we work hard, we will definitely succeed. And with Man'er and Yi Shen helping us, we don't need to worry too much."

After several days of careful consideration, Wang Xiu and Xu Laosan finally made their decision.

That evening, they went to Jiang Man and Qin Yishen's room. Wang Xiu, with a hint of nervousness and anticipation on her face, said, "We've discussed it, and we're willing to go to Kyoto with you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Man and Qin Yishen smiled broadly.

Jiang Man said happily, "That's great! I knew you would agree. Let's work together, and things will definitely get better and better in the future."

Qin Yishen also said, "Yes, welcome to our big family. Next, let's plan together what to do when we get to Kyoto."

Wang Xiu and Xu Laosan looked at Jiang Man and Qin Yishen with gratitude in their eyes.

Wang Xiu said, "Thank you for giving us this opportunity. We will definitely work hard and will not let you down."

From then on, both families began preparing for their trip to Kyoto. Jiang Man and Qin Yishen helped pack their luggage, contacted accommodations in Kyoto, and started planning for a hotel.

Wang Xiu and Xu Laosan were busy saying goodbye to their neighbors and dealing with some household chores.

The children excitedly discussed their life in Kyoto, looking forward to a wonderful journey in the new city. Finally, the day of departure arrived.

On a bright, sunny morning, the two families, laden with luggage and filled with anticipation for the future, embarked on their journey to Kyoto. On the train, the children chattered incessantly, watching the scenery rush past the window.

Looking at the children's energetic appearance, Jiang Man turned to Wang Xiu and said, "Look how happy the children are. We're sure to have a fresh start in Kyoto from now on."

Wang Xiu smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, Man'er, thanks to you all, we have this opportunity to change our destiny."

Qin Yishen and Xu Laosan sat to the side, also discussing their future plans.

Qin Yishen said, "Once we get to Kyoto, let's find a suitable shop and open a restaurant. With Sister Xiu's skills and our dedicated management, the business will definitely get better and better."

Xu Laosan said confidently, "Okay, Yishen, I'll listen to you. Let's work together to make our lives prosperous."
