Chapter 172 Grandma is quite ill



At the hotel, Chang Guofu called the big boss "Dad" hundreds of times in an attempt to please him!

Ah-Kuan's smile brought out wrinkles; blood relatives, his son called him "Dad" so naturally.

During the meeting, Chang Guofu intentionally or unintentionally revealed that he had a four-courtyard house waiting for buyers to make an offer.

Ah Kuan instantly dropped his playful grin. Just how much money did that woman Chang Yinhua secretly take to support her family?

We must take back this four-courtyard house!

After finishing the meal, A-Kuan went to pay the bill. Before leaving, he threw his expensive leather coat to Chang Guofu. Unfortunately, a photo fell out of it.

Chang Guofu quickly bent down and picked it up.

My friend, who had prepared the lines beforehand, said, "Ah, Kuan-ye treasures this photo very much. It's said that the woman in this photo is the one he loved most in his life!"

This scene was added at A-Kuan's request. He sees himself as a jackal among the wild beasts of the jungle, and he doesn't believe that his offspring are pure white lambs.

He had to test Chang Guofu's abilities.

Chang Guofu stared intently at the woman in the photo; wasn't that his own mother?

As for how he learned about his origins, it was thanks to his mother's foresight.

Zhou Hongyu picked Chang Meiying up from get off work and took her home. On the way, Chang Meiying muttered to herself.

"Mom, could you take Grandma to the clinic when you have time? Is she delirious from the fever? She keeps talking nonsense to me. Grandma says she'll have money soon and tells me to think about what I want to buy, and she'll buy it for me!"

Zhou Hongyu frowned. The private money she handed over a few days ago was supposed to be used to buy a bigger house, but now she had changed her mind when it came to the children.

Do all old people like to cause trouble? Granny Chang is no exception.

When Zhou Hongyu took some time to visit the shop, Chen Zhaodi was also feeling uneasy because of Granny Chang's recent strange behavior.

"My mom is acting strangely and a little scary. She keeps asking me if I want anything, even though she doesn't have any money. Why is she asking me these things? I'm really afraid she might do something stupid and rob a bank!"

Chen Zhaodi felt uneasy and had been wanting to ask Zhou Hongyu for advice all night.

Zhou Hongyu frowned even more. Besides the secret stash of money her mother-in-law gave her, did her mother-in-law have other sources of income?

Or maybe my mother-in-law has Alzheimer's!

Zhou Hongyu is more inclined to believe that Granny Chang's Alzheimer's disease is beginning to show signs.

Chen Zhaodi shook her head: "Mom doesn't look like it. You should try to think of her in a positive light!"

Zhou Hongyu couldn't understand it, so she could only wait for Granny Chang to confess on her own initiative.

After school, Chang Meiying was picked up from school by her grandmother. With her little schoolbag on her back, she asked, "Grandma, did you come back after your doctor's visit?"

Grandma Chang's heart melted when she heard this. The little darling still cares about his grandma. Even though it's been so long since he was hospitalized, he still remembers it!

"Meiying, Grandma is in good health, so you don't need to worry about her at school!"

Chang Meiying lowered her head and kicked a pebble on the ground.

Hmph, adults really don't listen to reason; her mother didn't take her grandmother to see a doctor!

Just then, Chang Meiying happened to pass by a toy stall. When she saw the twinkling crystal ball, her eyes lit up, and she instantly forgot the topic she was talking about. She wanted to pounce on it.

want to--

Granny Chang stopped and asked the price.

The stall owner looked at the little girl in his hands, who clearly had been pampered since childhood, and smiled as he held up two fingers: "Twenty!"

Granny Chang clicked her tongue in amazement: "So expensive!"

The stall owner said smugly, "You get what you pay for. Ask your child if they like it or not."

If the little one makes a few more fuss, I'll have the twenty yuan in my pocket.

Chang Meiying snorted coldly: "Grandma, I don't want to!"

"Mei-Ying, let Grandma try to bargain some more."

"Yeah, you think twenty yuan is too expensive? Then take it for twelve yuan!"

Granny Chang immediately reached for her wallet, but Chang Meiying grabbed her hand and held it down.

This stall owner is making a fool of them, reducing the price from 20 yuan to 12 yuan. No way!

"Grandma, let's go! I don't want toys, let's go buy some food up ahead!"

Chang Meiying, throwing a tantrum, pulled Granny Chang away, while the stall owner stomped his feet in frustration.

The crystal ball was too expensive, and no one was willing to take it on. We finally found one, but he left because of a moment of confusion!

Not far from where they walked, they came across a vendor selling roasted nuts and seeds. Chang Meiying loved roasted chestnuts the most, and Granny Chang was touching her wallet, ready to buy a bag.

Chang Meiying held her hand down with difficulty.

"Grandma, since I'm treating everyone today, we won't have roasted chestnuts. Let's buy a small bag of sunflower seeds instead!"

Grandma Chang smiled happily and agreed, "Okay, Grandma will eat the melon seeds that Meiying gave us today!"

Chang Meiying reluctantly spent her last three cents of the week because her sister was going to Shanghai for a competition, and her allowance would be back to square one next week.

well!

However, Grandma's money cannot be spent; it must be saved for her to see a doctor!

Since the adults didn't seem to care about her grandmother's health, Chang Meiying decided to take her grandmother to see a doctor herself.

Moreover, Granny Chang's subsequent actions deepened her suspicions; her grandmother was becoming delirious—

"Meiying, Grandma will have money soon. I'll buy you five or six crystal balls to play with, and you can play with whichever one you want..."

Granny Chang kept making various promises, and Chang Meiying resisted the urge to drool.

She thought, a crystal ball costs at least twelve yuan, and five or six crystal balls would be enough for her uncle's monthly salary. Grandma has gone mad—

Cai's mother waited for a long time at the restaurant before Sun Yanxia rushed over.

"Teacher Cai!"

Cai's mother lazily lifted her eyelids, and Sun Yanxia sat down with a fawning smile.

"Teacher Cai, what can I do for you?"

Teacher Cai was a colleague of Chang Guofu at the same school, and also the principal's daughter. Sun Yanxia always had a fawning face when she saw her.

Cai's mother looked down on her good-for-nothing attitude, but for the time being, she still needed her.

"I'm asking you, what is your relationship with Chang Shuying from No. 6 Middle School?"

Sun Yanxia immediately replied, "She's my niece, we're very close, Teacher Cai, you need me..."

Sun Yanxia was indeed clever; she understood immediately and thought of Chang Shuying's recent award in the painting competition, which made her very famous. She also recalled that Teacher Cai's family also had a daughter who studied painting, but she hadn't heard of her achieving any results in this competition.

Madam Cai nodded with a cold laugh: "There will be a generous reward after the deed is done!"

Sun Yanxia bargained: "She's my niece, it's not really appropriate to do this..."

Cai's mother offered an irresistible temptation: "I heard that your family sold your house, so you must need a place to live now. I know that some companies in Beijing are going to allocate welfare housing recently. How about I help you out?"

Sun Yanxia agreed without hesitation.
