Liu Yanran was stunned for a moment before quickly reacting. After just 0.01 seconds of thinking, she realized that this person might be a relative of her grandmother, so she tentatively asked, "Do you know my grandmother?"
When the middle-aged man heard this, his eyes suddenly became red with excitement, and his voice trembled a little: "Well, my father's name is Mu Yanzhen, and he is your grandmother's biological brother! Child, how come you are abroad? Did your family also flee to the United States like everyone else?"
Liu Yanran quickly shook her head and explained, "That's not the case. I'm here just to buy some equipment. And my family has settled in China. By the way, I just heard you say you wanted to sell some equipment. What's going on? Also, how is my uncle doing now?"
"We came to the United States with most of the Mu family's money, thinking we could live a good life. But who knew that the people in this country were so shady, and more than half of our money was spent on building relationships. Later, we built a garment factory, and the business has been decent in recent years, but it's just barely enough to make ends meet. Unexpectedly, the useless third brother fell in love with a little star and married her. What's worse is that, at the instigation of that woman, he became addicted to gambling and lost all his savings over the years! Now your great-uncle is so angry that he has to be hospitalized for a heart bypass surgery. The hospital asked us to prepare 100,000! But there is no money at home. If it weren't for the restaurant opened by my second sister, my family would have starved to death long ago." Mu Lei sighed helplessly at this point.
"By the way, kid, what's your name? I'm your eldest cousin, Mu Lei. You can call me Uncle Shitou." Mu Lei looked at Liu Yanran and asked.
"Okay, Uncle Shitou, my name is Liu Yanran, and the person next to me is my husband, Gu Shijing. If it's convenient for you, I would like to go visit my uncle with my husband, is that okay?" Liu Yanran said softly, her eyes full of concern.
"Of course, are you full? Can we go now?" Uncle Shitou answered very enthusiastically and asked if they had eaten and were ready to go.
"Yes, sure." Liu Yanran smiled and nodded, indicating her willingness to go and visit. She secretly felt lucky that she had asked, otherwise she might have missed her uncle's family. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Uncle Shitou looked at Liu Yanran and Gu Shijing, a trace of emotion in his eyes. He remembered his father's longing for his aunt. Ever since his aunt returned to her hometown with her husband's family, he had lost contact with her. For many years, his father had missed his aunt, but he didn't know if he would ever see her again in this life.
"My father always missed my aunt, and he left behind many photos of my aunt when she was young. Maybe it's because you look so much like my aunt when she was young that I was able to recognize you at a glance." Uncle Shitou said slowly, with a hint of sadness in his tone.
When Liu Yanran heard this, she was deeply moved. She could feel Uncle Shitou's deep affection for his family and understood why he was so excited when he saw her. She gently held Uncle Shitou's hand and comforted him, "Uncle Shitou, don't be sad. Maybe we still have a chance to reunite Grandma and Grandpa!"
Uncle Shitou nodded, a glimmer of hope in his eyes. He believed Liu Yanran's words and looked forward to the day in the future when his father and aunt could be reunited.
At this moment, Liu Yanran and Gu Shijing decided to go visit their uncle together. They knew that this meeting was of great significance to Uncle Shitou, and it was also the continuation of an important family bond.
As time goes by, Liu Yanran and Gu Shijing will embark on this special journey to visit the old man with deep family affection - Uncle Grandpa. All of this stems from an accidental encounter and a cherishment of family affection.
The three of them walked together to the hospital, which was not far from here. The one taking care of the old man there was his second daughter, Mu Nianzhen, who was also the owner of this restaurant. When she was young, she left her family because she didn't want to get married, ran away from home, and opened this small restaurant to make a living.
Later, she learned that her family went bankrupt, her father had a heart attack due to anger with her third brother, and when her eldest brother's family was homeless, she took the whole family back home. Although she had not been home in these years, she had always been concerned about her family. She also knew that although her father did not come to give in to her, he secretly gave the restaurant a lot of support for fame and fortune.
The old man's third son was named Mu Xiu. He was the son of his old age. His wife died during childbirth, so he inevitably spoiled his youngest son. Unexpectedly, this child eventually destroyed his foundation of half a lifetime and even made him so angry that he was sent to the hospital. He finally understood what the ancestors said: spoiling a child is like killing him.
Because it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, Liu Yanran bought some fruits and nutritional supplements near the hospital and brought them to the hospital. Looking at the old man lying on the hospital bed, breathing more out than in, she couldn't help but sigh. The old man had become so thin that his brows were furrowed even when he was asleep.
Mu Nianzhen looked at the girl in front of her. She was very smart and guessed most of it at a glance. "Brother, this must be Aunt Wanzhen's descendant, right? Fortunately, our father can still see the person he has been thinking about."
The hospital had issued an ultimatum; the old man had to have surgery now. However, given his age, it was unclear whether he could survive the operation. Furthermore, the money for the surgery hadn't been raised yet. Although her small restaurant business was doing well, it was a drop in the bucket compared to the cost of the surgery. However, as his descendants, they couldn't just sit there and watch the old man do nothing.
"Hello, Aunt Nianzhen, Mu Wanzhen is my grandmother. If you don't mind, let me take the old man's pulse!" Mu Nianzhen stepped aside, and Liu Yanran stepped forward to take Mu Yanzhen's pulse. It was confirmed that he did have a heart problem, excessive liver fire, and getting angry. It seemed that the medical skills of this beautiful country were indeed quite good.
