It was Wang Yonggui and Wang Yongping who kept looking at him, feeling quite uneasy seeing their eldest brother like this today.
By nightfall, Song Chongjin had returned with the carriage first.
He brought not-so-good news, saying they had found Jinhoo. Jinhoo indeed refused to come back home. He said if they forced him to return, they could do it, but unless they tied his legs to prevent him from going out, he would always find a chance to run away again.
Song Chongjin had no other choice. Originally, he wanted Jinhoo to become an apprentice to Master Qi and learn some tea-frying skills.
But Jinhoo refused, saying he wanted to go out and see the world. Just in time, a batch of tea leaves was received by Boss Zhang, who was planning to return to the Capital City quite satisfied.
Jinhoo went to beg Boss Zhang, and how could Boss Zhang not agree?
He promptly agreed to let Jinhoo be an apprentice shop assistant and travel around with his merchant team.
