After selling the seafood, they originally planned to stroll around the city, but unexpectedly Lin Gang called and told them to go home as quickly as possible, saying that there was something important.
The voice on the phone was very urgent, so Zheng Gan didn't dare to delay and rushed back with Lin Hao as fast as he could.
"Uncle, what happened?" Zheng Gan asked anxiously when he saw Lin Gang and his wife pacing back and forth in the yard anxiously.
"Your grandma is having health problems and wants to see you for the last time. You should hurry up and book a plane ticket." Wu Sujuan was a little anxious.
"Grandma?" Zheng Gan was stunned. It had been a long time since he had heard this name. "I haven't seen them in so many years. Are we going back?"
"What bullshit are you talking about!" Lin Gang said angrily, "Those are your relatives. After your mother passed away, they came all the way from their hometown to see you. If it weren't for those special reasons, you would have been living there by now."
It turned out that Zheng Gan's mother eloped with Zheng Gan's father. They had a falling out with their family and had no contact with them. After her death, his grandmother rushed back as quickly as possible. If she hadn't been afraid that Zheng Gan wouldn't be able to accept her, she would have taken him back long ago. Until now, she has been transferring money to him every year, saying that it was saved for Zheng Gan's marriage.
"How come I don't know anything about these things?" Zheng Gan asked with a frown.
"Alas." Wu Sujuan sighed, "Back then, your mother was too stubborn and swore she would never go back, so she never told you anything. Later, when your grandmother and her family came, they repeatedly told her not to tell you. But now she's dying and wants to see you, her grandson, one last time."
Zheng Gan was silent. He felt very uncomfortable. After his parents passed away, no one cared about him except Lin Hao's family. That's why he devoted himself to Lin Hao. He had long thought that he had no relatives.
But now he is told that he still has relatives, which is a bit hard for him to accept.
"Before your mother passed away, she told me that she missed her parents very much. Now that she is gone, it is reasonable for you to go visit her." After saying this, Lin Gang gave Zheng Gan the address and left.
Zheng Gan was really confused when looking at the address in his hand, but what Lin Gang and his wife said did make sense.
"Brother, I think you should go and take a look. At least you can give an explanation to Aunt." Lin Hao also advised.
"Oh." Zheng Gan didn't say much, and silently took out his mobile phone to book a plane ticket.
My grandmother's home is in a small village in Yunnan, which is a long way from where he lives. The journey alone takes two days.
The next morning, Zheng Gan arrived at the city airport under the escort of Qiao Xin and Lin Hao. He refused their company as he didn't know what might happen there, so he went alone this time.
It takes more than three hours to fly from here. After getting off the plane, Zheng Gan took the high-speed rail, then the train, and finally took a bus. After all the hassles, it took more than an hour to walk to his grandmother's village.
Zheng Gan was a little confused at the entrance of the village. He never expected this place to be so poor. It was even much worse than Xiaohai Village.
"Is that Zheng Gan?" At this time, a dark and thin man drove a donkey cart over.
"It's me. Who are you?" Zheng Gan was obviously stunned when someone suddenly called his name in this strange place.
The dark and thin man smiled and said, "I am your uncle, Jiang Fusheng. Let me take you home."
Jiang is Zheng Gan's mother's surname. Looking at this dark and thin man, Zheng Gan opened his mouth, wanting to say something but not knowing how to say it. In the end, he could only get on the donkey cart and follow Jiang Fusheng back.
"You've grown up so much now. The last time I saw you was six years ago. You're so handsome, just like your mother."
Jiang Fusheng kept talking along the way, and Zheng Gan just nodded a few times. The more time went by, the more he didn't know what to say.
When he returned to his grandmother's house, he was even more shocked. What did "shabby" mean? Compared with his old house in Xiaohai Village, it was considered a luxurious house.
In this situation, how can I still send him money every year? How can I save up this money?
"Let's go in and see your grandma. Her health has not been good since the beginning of this year. It started to worsen half a month ago. Now she can't even get out of bed." Jiang Fusheng sighed.
"Then why don't you go to the hospital?" Zheng Gan asked with a frown.
"If we go, the surgery will cost 50,000 yuan, which we simply cannot afford." Jiang Fusheng burst into tears when he said this. He blamed himself for being incompetent.
Zheng Gan didn't say anything. He had the money, but he needed to see what the situation was first.
Jiang Fusheng led Zheng Gan into the house. The outside was already very shabby, but unexpectedly the inside was even shabbier.
"Mom, I brought Xiaogan back."
There was a very thin old man lying on the broken wooden bed with a head full of white hair. One could tell at a glance that the old man was dying.
"Xiao Gan? Is it Afen's child? Let grandma take a look." The old woman seemed to have a last burst of energy at this moment, and she actually struggled to sit up.
Zheng Gan couldn't help it at this time, and he felt really bad. He quickly came to the old woman, held her hand, and cried.
"It's my grandma, I'm Xiaogan, I'm here to see you."
He had complaints before, resentful of why they ignored him after his parents died, leaving him an orphan, but now he really has no complaints at all. In such a shabby environment, they still send him money every year, which is really sad.
"Good, good, God has been very kind to me that I was able to see you before I passed away." Grandma touched Zheng Gan's face and said happily, "After your mother ran away from home, I couldn't find her, and in the end, I waited for the news of her death."
"It was all my fault back then. I shouldn't have let her go out. It's all because I'm a useless mother."
Zheng Gan's grandfather passed away early, and all the big and small things in the family were handled by his grandmother alone. It is conceivable how hard it was to raise a child.
"Let's go to the hospital, Grandma. Medical care is so advanced nowadays, she will definitely be cured." Zheng Gan wiped his tears and prepared to pick up his grandma.
"No need, Agan. It costs so much money and may not be able to cure it. I will be satisfied as long as I can see you in the end." Grandma was about to stop Zheng Gan. She didn't want him to waste the money.
"Grandma, I have money. I've made a lot of money. Don't worry." Zheng Gan couldn't just watch his grandma go away like that. "Uncle, let's hurry up and take grandma to the hospital. I'll take care of the surgery."
"Mom, let's go. Don't you want to see Xiaogan get married and have children?" Jiang Fusheng certainly hoped that his mother would get better, so he quickly persuaded her.
"Yes, grandma, I might get married this year. It would be such a pity if you couldn't see me get married. Look, this is my wife."
Seeing that grandma was hesitant, Zheng Gan directly took out all the photos of Qiao Xin.
