Chapter 25: Jiang Xian's Thoughts
But in the final analysis, it all comes down to those two sentences.
Remind Jiang Xian and Lu Bin to live a good life in the future.
That's how old people are, they always like to say the same thing over and over again.
Jiang Xian's grandmother was like this in her previous life, always reminding her again and again about one thing.
The starting point is always good.
Jiang Xian listened without showing the slightest sign of unhappiness on his face.
Very patient.
Father Lu had been watching them from the side. Seeing this scene, he was filled with long-awaited happiness: his third son finally got married.
He just felt that all his illnesses seemed to be almost healed.
Everyone is much more energetic.
Mother Lu was still chattering:
"You are a good child. I am relieved to leave Lu Bin to you."
"I can't guarantee other mothers, but I raised Lu Bin from childhood. I know his temper very well."
"Over the years, he has suffered a lot for us old couple."
"Although your father and I now have to rely on medication to maintain treatment, we old couple don't want to drag you down."
"We will find a way to reduce your burden."
After all, it is a long-term illness.
Even though he is my biological son, over the years, we have always been human.
In order to pay for the medical treatment of the old couple, Lu Bin works hard every day of the year to make money.
From carrying sacks at the beginning to doing various jobs later, he would do it as long as he was paid enough.
As a mother, I see this and feel the pain in my heart.
Don't even mention how uncomfortable it is.
But at that time, she was willing but unable to do it.
I simply don't have the ability to ask my son to stop working so hard.
The old couple proposed to give up treatment many times, but they were always scolded by Lu Bin in the end.
There are three sons in the family, but the burden of the family falls on Lu Bin alone.
It was hard to describe how sad Mr. and Mrs. Lu felt after seeing this.
They both came here from their youth.
Boys from other families should be carefree at Lu Bin's age.
But somehow I was dragged down by them.
Don't even mention how much they owe this son.
After the physical condition has improved.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Lu thought of many ways to do odd jobs to supplement the family income.
Both Mother Lu and Father Lu were capable people when they were young, so they asked people to find out a lot of odd jobs that could be done at home.
Finally they found out that there was a match factory in the next village that was in urgent need of workers to paste paper boxes.
The old couple were in poor health, so they could only bring the semi-finished paper boxes back home to make them.
Although my salary was reduced by half, at least I could still earn some money to supplement the family income.
It costs one cent to paste a small paper box, and ten small paper boxes cost ten cents.
Mother and father Lu can paste up to 200 paper boxes a day, which means they can earn two dollars in wages.
In this way, the old couple can still have a fixed income of 60 yuan every month.
It's also a considerable amount of income.
The savings they have are accumulated bit by bit in this way.
This was all done secretly by the old couple.
He hid it from his eldest and second daughters-in-law. After all, those two were not easy to deal with.
If these two knew about this, they would definitely find ways to take away the little money they had.
Their family has long been divided up now. The eldest and second eldest's families' attitude of ignoring them when they were sick really hurt the hearts of their parents.
They are so old now, and they earn some money from manual labor. To put it bluntly, it is to support their younger son and to prevent him from working so hard.
But Lu Bin is also stubborn.
I will not take a penny from them and let them save it for me.
The only thing Lu's mother could do was to give Jiang Xian a little more when giving the betrothal gift, which was also a way of compensating Lu Bin in various ways.
How could Lu Bin not know what they were thinking?
Fortunately, my son didn't stop it.
Jiang Xian felt very uncomfortable after hearing what Lu's mother said.
Especially when Lu's mother said that the old couple were sick and were a burden to Lu Bin.
Jiang Xian felt that it would be difficult to recover from illness if he had this kind of mentality.
So she immediately spoke up to stop Mother Lu from continuing.
She felt that Mother Lu's mentality needed to be adjusted immediately.
Otherwise, wouldn't you be worrying all day long?
Over time, problems will definitely arise.
Besides, although she and Father Lu were sick, those were all problems with their body functions. As they get older, it is inevitable that they will have some minor ailments.
This is inevitable.
They don’t want to get sick!
After all, it grows on your own body. To put it bluntly, in this era, this is the living environment.
It is very likely that both Mr. and Mrs. Lu worked too hard to support their family when they were young, which resulted in their bodies being unable to withstand the high-intensity labor.
That's why these diseases come knocking on your door when you're older.
"Auntie, look at what you are saying."
"It's normal to get sick."
"You have worked hard to raise Lu Bin. Now that Lu Bin is capable, it is time to repay you."
"You raised him when he was young, and he will take care of you when you are old. How can you call him a burden?"
"As your children, what we hope most is that you will be well."
"I have also told you the truth about my family situation."
"My parents died when I was young, and I have never felt the warmth of a family."
"I am hoping that after I marry you, you will treat me like your own daughter. In the future, we will work hard to live a good life as a family. Everything else is just a passing cloud."
As Jiang Xian said these words, he sighed that his eloquence had really become much more fluent since he came here.
She must have been quite tired to say so many nice things in one breath, all of them were persuasive.
Thinking back to Mr. and Mrs. Lu’s illness, looking at their current condition, it seemed that it wasn’t as bad as I had imagined.
When she has time, she can secretly ask Lu Bin in private about the situation of Lu's father and mother's illness.
No matter what, she came from the future, so she must know more about some diseases than people of this era.
If it's not serious, I can take the old couple to the hospital in the provincial capital to check out the situation.
After all, the provincial capital's hospital is a big one, and they see more difficult and complicated cases.
