Chapter 058 Asking Big Brother for Help
Grandma Zhao staggered and was helped into the ward by Su Jianguo.
In the nursing ward, Grandpa Zhao was full of tubes.
The old man is old and has been in the hospital all the time. He is just skin and bones. Even with an oxygen machine, he exhales more than he inhales.
Grandma Zhao held Grandpa Zhao's hand and sat on the stool, tears streaming down her face.
"Old man..."
His voice was extremely hoarse and his tears were falling down.
"Old man, I should be guarding your..."
Grandma Zhao spoke, and Grandpa Zhao suddenly opened his eyes miraculously.
Su Jianguo and Su Wan shouted in unison: "Grandma Zhao, Grandpa is awake."
Looking at Grandpa Zhao with tears in her eyes, Grandma Zhao shouted with a choked voice, "Old man, you're awake."
Grandpa Zhao raised his hand tremblingly and reached out to touch Grandma Zhao's face.
Seeing this, Grandma Zhao quickly reached out to pull Grandpa Zhao's hand and put his hand on her face.
Grandpa Zhao's voice was a little low, but it was very clear in the quiet ward. "Old woman, I... I can't hold on any longer..."
"Old man, I didn't take good care of you."
"I can live until now, all... all thanks to you..." Grandpa Zhao tried hard to smile, but the smile he forced was very stiff. He could only raise his hand and stroke Grandma Zhao's cheek.
Old lady, you still look good even when you are old!
As good looking as when they first met.
Grandpa Zhao tried hard to move his gaze in front of Su Jianguo and Su Wan, as if asking who they were.
Su Wan immediately introduced their identities.
Grandma Zhao also said that the brother and sister were very good people and helped her a lot at home. She also emphasized that Chen Yuan was an officer in the army.
At that time, soldiers still had a very high status in the minds of the people. At least Grandpa Zhao would not think that they had any bad intentions.
“Thank…thank you…”
Grandpa Zhao said in a low voice, and Su Wan said softly: "Grandpa Zhao, don't worry, my brother and I will take good care of Grandma Zhao as long as she is here."
"Help...help me...take care of the old woman, I...I..."
As Grandpa Zhao spoke, his voice sounded like the heavy breathing of a bellows. Su Wan was afraid that he would fall over accidentally.
Su Jianguo squatted down and said at the head of Grandpa Zhao's bed: "Don't worry, Grandpa Zhao, even if we don't live with Grandma Zhao in the future, we will visit Grandma Zhao from time to time."
Hearing Su Jianguo's assurance, Grandpa Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.
He opened and closed his mouth as he spoke to Grandma Zhao, "If...if...I can't wait for them...then...just make yourself...live a little more comfortably."
Grandpa Zhao didn't say it explicitly, but Grandma Zhao understood.
Both the couple's families were wealthy families during the Qing Dynasty and were once very prosperous. Grandpa Zhao's family had countless ancestral properties. Although Grandma Zhao's family was not as rich as Grandpa Zhao's, she was also a daughter from a wealthy family. She married into the Zhao family with a grand wedding. If it were not for the founding of New China, they would not have been criticized and suffered such a miserable situation.
As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how poor you are, you still have a lot of good things in your hands.
Grandpa Zhao was hinting to Grandma Zhao that if she thought the brother and sister were reliable, she could give them good things and let them take care of themselves.
Su Wan's nose felt sore, and she blurted out, "Don't worry, Grandpa Zhao, we will definitely take good care of Grandma Zhao."
Hearing this, Grandpa Zhao’s heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.
He had lived for more than eighty years and had seen countless people. He could tell about 70% of a person's character at a glance. Seeing that Su Wan was sincere in what he said, he nodded.
He is really tired!
He gently stroked Grandma Zhao's hand, breathing even harder, "Old woman...after I leave...take good...take good...take...yourself..."
Grandpa Zhao's hand suddenly slipped, and Grandma Zhao, who was holding his hand, was completely stunned.
Su Wan and Su Jianguo helped deal with Grandpa Zhao's funeral.
Because Grandma Zhao had no children, the two of them treated their neighbors to a meal in accordance with Guangdong customs. The neighbors also helped with Grandpa Zhao's funeral arrangements and comforted Grandma Zhao.
After Grandpa Zhao was buried, Grandma Zhao fell ill.
Su Jianguo took care of Grandma Zhao, while Su Wan went to purchase goods and then went out to sell clothes herself.
In just a few days, there was a new person selling clothes outside, and the clothes they sold were very similar to the ones she sold before. The quality was not as good as hers, but the price was much cheaper.
At this time, her stall was surrounded by people, and there were still many girls buying clothes at her stall.
They chattered in front of Su Wan's stall, "Why haven't you come in so long? We thought you were closed."
"Yeah, the clothes there are a bit similar to yours, but yours are of better quality. We didn't buy any from there, so we were waiting for you to come."
"Thank you for your support. I plan to open a store at the intersection. Everyone can go to the store to choose. Old customers will receive gifts when the new store opens."
Hearing this, the girls' eyes lit up.
They asked about the specific location with a smile, and when they heard Su Wan say that it was still under renovation and she would still set up a stall here, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
After selling the goods, Su Wan went to the phone booth and called home.
The call was transferred for a while before it was connected.
"Hello."
"Hello, I'm looking for Zheng Aifang."
Just as Su Wan finished speaking, an incredible man's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Little sister, I'm the big brother."
Hearing that it was his elder brother Su Jianjun, Su Wan felt very embarrassed.
After all, she was not the original owner, so she was not that familiar with her eldest brother. Moreover, the voice on the phone was distorted. Unless she was very familiar with the voice, she would not be able to hear it just by listening to one word.
"Brother."
Su Wan said awkwardly, "I didn't hear it just now."
"It's okay, Mom is out, is there something wrong with you?"
"I can also contact my eldest brother. I want to open a clothing store here. I heard from my second brother that my eldest and third brothers are both good at decoration..."
Su Wan told him everything he wanted to do.
When he heard his sister wanted to help with the renovations at his house, he smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. My eldest and third brothers will come over to help you after we finish our housework in the next two days. If you want something to eat, I can bring it to you when the time comes."
"No need, big brother. You don't need to bring anything. When you come, ask Chen Yuan's big brother if he wants to come over and take a look. The fields at home are already being planted with rice. If you can do a good job, we can rent out some of our fields to others for farming in the second half of the year."
Su Jianjun had also heard that Su Wan was making money as a self-employed business owner in Guangdong Province, so he didn't refute her words. After acknowledging her, he asked, "How are you doing lately?"
"Brother, I'm fine."
"That's good. Chen Xiang went to the provincial hospital for a checkup a few days ago. The doctor fixed his bones and said he needed to rest. I'll have him come with me then."
