Chapter 310 Increase in Retirement Funds
Grandma Gu stepped forward and grabbed Gu Yihan's sleeve tightly, as if afraid that she might slip away at any moment.
Gu Yihan was about to speak to her grandmother, who was observing her actions, when she noticed her grandmother's behavior.
At this moment, Lu Huailin spoke up, "Grandma, Xiaohan and I would like to bring you along too."
Upon hearing this, Grandma Gu's eyes lit up, and she instantly became excited. As long as Lu Huailin didn't stop her, she was absolutely certain she could go with him.
"but……"
Grandma Gu's joy was short-lived, but Lu Huailin's "but" made her heart leap into her throat again.
Her eyes were fixed on him.
Lu Huailin looked at Grandma Gu with a helpless expression and said, "Grandma, you can't buy a train ticket without a letter of introduction!"
Upon hearing this, Grandma Gu was struck dumb; she had completely forgotten such an important matter.
"How about you go to the police station and ask them to buy you a ticket to be repatriated to Gujia Village?"
"Why don't you go back and get the captain to issue the letter of introduction, and then go to Beijing to find me and Xiaohan?" Lu Huailin continued.
"No... I won't go back."
When Grandma Gu heard that she had to go back, her face turned pale and she kept shaking her head.
Seeing that Grandma Gu's face had turned pale with fright, Gu Yihan glared at Lu Huailin with annoyance.
Patting Grandma Gu's hand, he said softly, "Grandma, Huailin is right, you should go back first..."
Before Gu Yihan could finish speaking, Grandma Gu interrupted her, shouting sternly, "Little Han, Grandma is not going back."
"Even if I die out there, I will never go back!"
Gu Yihan looked at Grandma Gu in astonishment, not understanding why she reacted so strongly upon hearing that she was going back.
Lu Huailin sneered inwardly.
His wife didn't know why.
That doesn't mean he didn't know.
Gu Aidang's wife resented that Grandma Gu didn't work in the fields to earn work points, and the two argued loudly.
He accidentally pushed Chen Xiu, who was newly pregnant, to the ground.
Gu Aidang got angry and kicked her out.
She had no other choice but to come to his wife.
Grandma Gu gradually calmed down; she knew there was no letter of introduction.
There was no way he could leave with his granddaughter.
Looking up at Gu Yihan, he asked, "Little Han, how has Grandma treated you?"
When Gu Yihan heard her grandmother's question, she was stunned for a moment, and then said directly, "Grandma is naturally good to her granddaughter."
"Without you, my granddaughter wouldn't have had such a smooth life."
She was telling the truth, regardless of how many ulterior motives Grandma Gu might have.
Before they lost the ability to take care of themselves, they were given a chance to survive.
Otherwise, given Zhang Cuihua's hatred for her, she would either drown her in a chamber pot or let her starve to death.
In this day and age, if one or two girls die in a family, nobody cares.
Therefore, she was able to go to school and leave Gujia Village. For this alone, Gu Yihan was grateful to Grandma Gu for the rest of her life.
Grandma Gu was relieved to see that her granddaughter was still the same as before and did not hold a grudge against her.
She then sighed, a hint of sadness in her voice, and said, "I'm getting old, so I won't bother you anymore. I don't want you to be annoyed by my old face."
Looking at Grandma Gu's pitiful appearance, Gu Yihan's heart softened again. After all, she was the elder who had raised her since she was a child.
She couldn't bear to ignore it, so she said, "Grandma, you're not old, you're still young!"
Grandma Gu glanced at Lu Huailin out of the corner of her eye. Her granddaughter was soft-hearted, but her grandson-in-law was incredibly hard-hearted.
She needs to strike while the iron is hot and ask for more money for her retirement.
Grandma Gu said, "Xiao Han, I didn't want to add to your burden."
“But Grandma really had no other choice. Qin Shou wouldn’t give her any living expenses, and he even charged her five yuan for her lodging.”
"Grandma really had no other choice but to swallow her pride."
Gu Yihan listened quietly, and she pretty much knew what Grandma Gu's purpose was.
"Xiao Han, I just want to ask, you said you would take care of me in my old age, do you mean it?"
Gu Yihan looked up at her for a long while, then said in a flat voice, "It counts."
Upon hearing this, Grandma Gu burst into tears, tightly gripping Gu Yihan's hand and repeatedly saying, "Good, good, good."
Then she added, "It wasn't in vain that I traveled all this way to take care of you during childbirth, your postpartum period, and to raise Hao Hao."
Grandma Gu patted Gu Yihan's hand while glancing at Hao Hao, who was nestled in Lu Huailin's arms.
Hao Hao felt extremely uncomfortable under Grandma Gu's gaze and buried his head in Lu Huailin's shoulder and neck.
Upon hearing this, Lu Huailin sneered inwardly, thinking that Grandma Gu was worried about not being able to go to Beijing with him.
He tried to appeal to his wife's emotions, hoping to get more money for himself.
“You’ve all left, and Grandma is all alone in Kunming, destitute and helpless, forced to buy expensive grains to eat.”
"Xiao Han, could you give me thirty yuan and 30 jin of grain coupons every month?"
Lu Huailin glanced at Grandma Gu sideways and sneered.
An ordinary full-time worker doesn't even earn 40 yuan a month, let alone need 30 jin of grain coupons.
She really dared to ask for it.
However, problems that can be solved with money are not big problems, as long as they don't come to their house and annoy his wife.
Gu Yihan felt a slight pang in her heart, even though she knew that Grandma Gu's motives were impure.
She still held a sliver of hope; she had feelings for herself.
Very well, let's consider this an exchange of gratitude for being raised, and never see each other again.
Gu Yihan took a deep breath and looked up at Grandma Gu's expectant eyes.
He said, "Grandma, I agree. I will mail you my monthly pension money from now on!"
"Oh, I knew it. Xiao Han is a filial, sensible, and grateful person."
After saying that, she glanced at Lu Huailin behind Gu Yihan and said with a smile, "Grandson-in-law, it's getting late, so Grandma won't disturb your journey any longer!"
He turned around, picked up the package from the ground, and walked away briskly.
Seeing that Gu Yihan was downcast, Lu Huailin said, "Wife, don't be sad. You still have me and Hao Hao!"
Gu Yihan looked up at Lu Huailin and forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, saying, "It's fine to treat each other as ordinary relatives."
The family of three entered the station.
Half an hour later, the train finally arrived. Lu Huailin held Hao Hao in his left arm and held his wife's hand tightly with his right hand to prevent her from being separated from him by the crowd.
Although there weren't as many people boarding the train this time as during the Lunar New Year, it was still quite crowded.
It was Hao Hao's first time riding a train. His eyes were full of curiosity as he looked around, exclaiming, "How can there be such a big train?"
Lu Huailin chuckled and said, "This is a train, unlike the car you're riding in."
Gu Yihan found her berth, put down her handbag, and took Hao Hao, placing him on the bed.
Lu Huailin stuffed the large bag he was carrying under the bed, turned around and sat down next to his wife.
He smiled and said, "Honey, you've been busy all day. Let me check on Hao Hao. You should get some sleep."
Gu Yihan nodded. She was indeed tired. She had gotten up early that morning and given away some of the things she couldn't take with her.
Those items that could be taken were mailed to Beijing by He Shengli in advance.
Thinking about how she would have to feed a few more chickens after arriving in Beijing, she soon fell asleep.
