In the car, Mr. and Mrs. Gu talked a lot about their hometown and talked about their basic situation in recent years, basically explaining everything about themselves now.
The old man was quite satisfied with their attitude; at least after the marriage, the two of them would definitely not treat his precious granddaughter badly.
"Actually, Ah Shen has told me about your situation recently. Now that you're here, we should talk about the children's marriage."
"This is what I'm thinking: let them hold a wedding here first, and then we'll go back and hold another one with you." Old Master Xia said this with a hint of embarrassment.
In this day and age, no one would choose to hold the wedding at the bride's side of the house.
Especially in their case, it's extremely rare.
But Mr. and Mrs. Gu did not refute this, and even smiled and said: "Uncle Xia, you forgot, our hometown was also here before. If we really want to talk about it, it's not a big deal for us to hold the wedding here. In addition, we can invite all our relatives from before to come here."
"To put it bluntly, when we get old, we'll both want to return to our roots."
They are still young, yet they have already thought about this, which shows that they truly believe it.
Grandpa Xia sighed, but didn't say anything.
This is their own choice, and even if they become in-laws in the future, he shouldn't interfere too much.
“Alright, let’s go to the supply and marketing cooperative first, buy the goods, and then go to the health center,” Grandpa Xia decided.
Mr. and Mrs. Gu could understand going to the supply and marketing cooperative, but why go to the health center?
Could something have happened to one of the children?
They glanced anxiously back and forth between the two children in the front row, their unspoken message conveying the same concern.
Xia Anyan quickly explained, "Auntie, you misunderstood. We were just doing a routine check, just to give the troops an explanation."
Mother Gu has always liked this daughter-in-law very much, even though she knows that her family background is not good.
Now, hearing her daughter-in-law say that she needed to give an explanation to the military, she felt even more heartbroken: "Yanyan, you've really been wronged. If that brat hadn't gone to the military, we should have come to you to propose marriage years ago."
"But it's not too late now. You two are still young, and you're sure you're both healthy. Don't worry."
There was something she didn't say.
Even if Xia Anyan's examination reveals any problems, she still wants this daughter-in-law.
The couple had two sons and one daughter.
Now that their eldest son and youngest daughter are both married, their second son is still unmarried, which worries them greatly.
They knew better than anyone what the second son was thinking.
I haven't forgotten Yan Yan all these years, and I guess I won't forget her for the rest of my life.
She already has grandchildren and great-grandchildren. So what if these two people really can't have children?
They soon arrived at the health center.
Grandpa Xia was wondering why they didn't go to the supply and marketing cooperative first, but since they were already there, he didn't say anything more.
To everyone's surprise, once they arrived at the health center, the two children packed him up and handed him directly to the doctor.
Grandpa Xia was completely stunned; he had never expected things to turn out this way.
"Ayan, Ashen, what's going on with you two...?"
Old Master Xia's face turned ugly.
Does Xia Anyan care?
No!
All she cared about was her grandfather's health.
If the old man has health problems, she will be in even more pain and discomfort.
So, to prevent such a thing from happening, it's not unfilial of her to send the old man over first, right?
"Doctor, this is a prescription my grandfather got from a local doctor in the countryside. Could you please take a look at this prescription and tell me what's going on with it based on his condition?"
Grandpa Xia had already guessed that this girl must have caused this whole thing because he hadn't explained things clearly to her yesterday.
But when he saw the prescription, he felt terrible.
He was stunned and shocked, unable to believe that Lao Zhang would betray him.
"Grandpa, what kind of look is that? Don't you want Uncle Zhang to tell me? Or do you want to keep it from me forever?"
"I'm putting this out there today: if you can take good care of your health, I can be happy. But if something goes wrong with your health, I'll die with you."
"Anyway, now it's just the two of us in the family, grandfather and grandson, relying on each other for survival. If we go down there, we can keep each other company, don't you think?"
Grandpa Xia was so angry that he was panting heavily, but he still forced himself to calm down.
Everything that girl said is true.
His granddaughter is good in every way, except that she is too impatient.
If she could learn from her mother's gentle demeanor, things would definitely be much better than they are now.
Grandpa Xia sighed.
Since we're already here, how could he possibly refuse?
Well, there's no point in hiding it anymore, let's just leave it at that.
After a thorough examination by the doctor, the old man's condition was basically determined; in fact, his illness had reached a rather serious stage.
But there is still hope.
As for the prescription... when the doctor looked at it, his face turned ashen.
"This is utter nonsense! So many of the herbs in this prescription are highly poisonous, and several are missing. How could you just take it like that?"
The old man was shocked and even disbelieving when he heard this.
He'd known that woman for so many years, would she really harm him?
"Did you bring the medicine? Take it out and let me see it quickly. You can't keep taking this medicine."
As the doctor spoke, he reached out his hand to Old Master Xia.
The old man's hands were trembling slightly as he reached into his pocket and pulled out the small bottle.
There are still two pills in this bottle. He originally planned to go find that person after Xia Anyan's marriage was settled, but now it's fine, he doesn't need to go anymore.
The doctor examined the two small pills and looked at the old man with a complicated expression.
He didn't know whether to call the old man lucky or unlucky.
"Grandpa, did you experience any reaction after eating this?"
Upon hearing the doctor's words, the four people standing nearby immediately rushed forward.
Xia Anyan, in particular, was the most agitated: "Doctor, what's going on? Is there something wrong with these pills?"
The doctor sighed, placed a small pill on the table, and crushed it with something.
Then he pointed and said, "I won't say anything more, see for yourself."
In fact, Xia Anyan couldn't recognize anything at all, but he could smell the aroma inside.
It seems that apart from the bitterness of Coptis chinensis, there is no other taste.
