Chapter 75 75 is enough
“Grandma, you and Grandpa are at an age where you should be enjoying your retirement. My parents have already left you a stable pension, so why should Grandpa have to work in the fields anymore…”
Su Xiao continued rambling on and on, while Grandma Su listened silently without saying a word, and Su Xiao didn't seem to mind.
After wiping her body, she quickly went to buy a towel, toothbrush, and basin before the supply and marketing cooperative closed. The old lady was particular, so one towel and one basin were obviously not enough. She also bought some peach shortbread, malted milk powder, and canned fruit.
I came back carrying a bunch of things. The ward was bustling with activity. A new patient had arrived in the next bed, and four family members were making a ruckus around him, making the old lady's side seem very quiet and deserted.
"Look, my granddaughter is back! Oh my, she bought so many things! This child, she's wasting money again!" Grandma Su said with a smile to the old lady in the opposite bed.
Su Xiao immediately understood and said coquettishly, "Grandma, what are you saying? You raised us when we were young, and we will take care of you when you are old. How can it be considered a waste of money when I buy you some food and necessities? This money is well spent, worthwhile, and I am happy to spend it."
"Oh my, your granddaughter is something else! She has such a sweet tongue. You're so lucky, old lady. Unlike my little ones, who are all clumsy with words and simple-minded. I'm always worried sick about them," the old lady across from me said with a smile.
Grandma Su flattered her again, "What do you mean by being clumsy with words or simple-minded? That's just that the child is honest and kind. They're all good children. Little sister, just wait to enjoy your good life..."
As Su Xiao packed her things, she listened to the two men praising her, one after the other, and wondered how many of their compliments were genuine.
Su Xiao spent the night at the hospital with Grandma Su.
The next morning, Grandpa Su arrived, looking quite surprised to see Su Xiao.
"Grandpa," Su Xiao called out.
"Yes," Grandpa Su replied in a simple and honest voice.
"I'm going to buy breakfast." Su Xiao got up.
"No, no need, I brought some." Grandpa Su took out two steamed buns and two boiled eggs from his bag, handed one steamed bun and one boiled egg to Su Xiao, and said, "Eat up."
Su Xiao hesitated for a moment, then took it. Her eyes welled up with tears. She remembered the scenes of the original owner's time with Grandpa Su. The old man was not good with words and rarely spoke, but he often secretly slipped a piece of candy or an egg to the original owner.
"It's a bit dry, I'll go get some hot water." Su Xiao put down the steamed bun and eggs, took the lunchbox, and turned to leave.
When she came back in, she had composed herself.
As she put down the bowl of hot water, she took a bunch of keys out of her pocket and placed them on the bedside table.
“This is my house key. Grandma, you can move in now that you’re discharged from the hospital. I hope that when my brother comes back, the house will still be the same house, and there will still be people waiting for him…” Su Xiao looked at Grandma Su expectantly, hoping she would understand the meaning behind her words.
Without waiting for her reply, Su Xiao turned and left.
After leaving the ward, Su Xiao asked Space Six to observe the activity inside.
Grandma Su remained silent for a long time before instructing Grandpa Su, "Put the key away. When you go back today, hand over the piglets and the work in our plot to Ergen's family. Let them take care of them. When there's a harvest, the two families will split it 50/50..."
Su Xiao smiled with satisfaction and turned to leave.
Knowing she was going to the countryside, she started thinking about the house. She knew that once she left, the eldest son's family would definitely try to take over the house, just like in her previous life.
The timeframe is too short, and finding suitable tenants is not easy.
Now that she's offered the key, it's up to Grandma Su to decide whether she'll cooperate.
