Chapter 156: Half a Mother



Once she had this idea, Yan Shuhua became more determined, so even though Li's mother kept saying that she didn't want to go such a far place, she still wanted to take her there.

"Auntie, if you stay here every day, you will start to have all kinds of thoughts. If you go out more often, you will find how colorful life outside is." Yan Shuhua saw that she had not changed her clothes for who knows how long, so he quickly found a set of clothes in the closet and helped her change into them.

Li's mother had been refusing at first, but when she saw Yan Shuhua was so persistent, she was too embarrassed to say anything and finally had no choice but to go with her.

Xiao Jinchu had been waiting for her at home, and later he went to the town with her and Li's mother. Along the way, he took the initiative to take on the chore of helping to carry things. He felt very good when he saw the two of them chatting about everything like mother and daughter.

This was the first time that Li's mother went on a long trip, and she had never even taken a car before. The driver, A Mao, seemed to have lost a lot of weight recently... because the fat on his belly had been reduced by more than half a circle, and he was no longer as fat as before, so he looked very energetic now.

He also wore a pair of glasses and his hair was somewhat groomed, making him look like a handsome young man.

When Yan Shuhua just got on the car, he couldn't believe it. This was the driver A Mao!

"How come you suddenly lost so much weight?" Yan Shuhua thought, even if you were taking Chinese medicine, you wouldn't lose weight that fast.

He didn't know how many people had told A Mao about the huge change he had experienced in the past few days. He originally didn't think it mattered, but when he heard these words from Yan Shuhua, he suddenly felt extremely embarrassed.

A Mao reached out and scratched his hair out of habit.

"Hehe... Shuhua, to tell you the truth, it's because my family found a date for me and the other party said that I was a little fat, so I worked hard to lose weight. I always liked to eat all kinds of messy things and didn't exercise. Now I pull a late bus every day and go running. You see, I have lost ten pounds in just half a month."

After A Mao finished speaking, he patted his belly.

In that era, everyone was skinny, except for the driver, A Mao, who was so fat. It was conceivable that his family must be well off, and he could even drive such a good car.

"That's good. Your partner must be deeply moved by your spirit." A Mao is actually a very nice person. Not only is he friendly, but he is also very easy to talk to. Otherwise, why didn't he make a fuss and work hard without complaint when the villagers didn't give him money?

"We haven't even started dating yet, but I've been trying hard to pursue her. However, I believe I will be able to get her. You must come to my wedding when the time comes." A Mao laughed.

"OK!"

Ah Mao noticed that there was an old lady beside Yan Shuhua, and thought that it might be her mother. His nerves suddenly tensed up: "Is this aunt your mother?"

Yan Shuhua replied: "She is my godmother."

Godmother! That's half a mother too!

"Auntie, please sit in the front. This seat is good. You won't get carsick easily, and it's quite cool since there's not much sunlight." A Mao took the initiative to give up the best seat for her.

Mother Li has never enjoyed the feeling of being given priority.

Of course Yan Shuhua sat next to Li's mother, and Xiao Jinchu sat behind her. Although he sat at the back, A Mao still wanted to say a few more words to him. After all, he felt that he and Yan Shuhua seemed to have a lot of common topics to talk about.

Xiao Jinchu stared at A Mao intently, and the latter felt a little embarrassed by being stared at, so he tried not to have too much contact with Yan Shuhua.

A Mao knew before that she wanted to open a pharmacy, but he didn't know when exactly. Now when he heard her say that she had already opened a pharmacy, he felt that she was really quick and did what she said.

Some people think that being a self-employed person is a bad thing, but those who have worked in this industry know how quickly money can be made. A Mao is a driver. Although it is not his own car, he is a contractor. So he thinks that as a self-employed person, the pressure is a bit high, but the money can be made quickly.

In addition, Yan Shuhua is so smart that she can even think of the business of the oil factory. So the pharmacy business will definitely do very well in the future.

When they arrived at the station, Yan Shuhua helped Li's mother get off the bus. Xiao Jinchu took the initiative to follow behind with her things. Suddenly, Ah Mao said weakly behind Xiao Jinchu: "Shuhua's husband, can you please stop looking at me like that? I'm really scared."

After saying that, A Mao saw Xiao Jinchu's scary look, swallowed his saliva and said, "It's true that I liked Shuhua before, but that was because I didn't know she was married. Now that I know she's married, I will definitely not destroy the relationship between you, so..."

"Yeah." Xiao Jinchu nodded mutely.

"That's good, that's good. Actually, I just feel that I have something to say to Shuhua..." A Mao wanted to hand him a cigarette, but Xiao Jinchu didn't take it. A Mao looked at his cigarettes which cost only a few cents a pack and thought that others would not look down on them.

Just when A Mao felt that Xiao Jinchu was indeed difficult to get along with, he suddenly took the cigarette, said thank you, and turned away.

When Li's mother came to Yan Shuhua's shop for the first time, when she saw the plaque on the shop called "China Pharmacy", she suddenly thought of her husband.

Her husband had said more than once before that he wanted to open his own clinic in the town, but before that wish could be realized, he was gone.

Later, Li Mei finally inherited everything he had. Just when she was looking forward to her daughter opening her own pharmacy one day, he passed away.

But when Li's mother saw Yan Shuhua, who always thought of her and asked her if she was thirsty, tired, or able to walk along the way, she suddenly felt that Yan Shuhua was really like her daughter. Perhaps she understood her wish by visiting this pharmacy.

Mother Li always used to feel like she had fallen into an abyss and couldn't get out, but now after seeing this scene, she slowly came to terms with it and felt that she shouldn't continue to have such wild thoughts.
