Chapter 363 A fatal disease
"Five thousand?" Wu Hehua stuttered, "Xiaobai, this is too much. I can't use it. You are just too polite."
"That's right, Xiaobai, they said you don't have to pay, just let Jiabao and his wife live here in peace, it's okay." Jiang Baoguo pushed the money back.
Wu Hehua's eyes followed the money back and forth. She wanted to say something but felt it was not appropriate. She was so anxious that she broke out in a sweat.
Jiang Xinbai smiled and pushed the money over. "Brother, sister-in-law, you have to give me living expenses. Manman is pregnant now, so we have to make sure she eats nutritious food. All of this costs money. Don't say you don't want to take it. I will only feel at ease if you accept it."
"Oh, since you, Xiaobai, said so, then I will shamelessly accept it. But don't worry, I will take good care of Manman. I won't say anything else, but I'll give you enough chickens. You can even kill one every day." Wu Hehua excitedly gave away all the chickens in her house.
Jiang Xinbai quickly stopped her and said, "Sister-in-law, this is unnecessary. Eating too much will make it difficult to have a baby."
"Hey, it's okay. Just walk around more. Anyway, you can rest assured that you can leave Manman to us! We will give you a chubby grandson in due time."
"Hey, I'm glad you said that, sister-in-law. I'll be ready to go back tomorrow." Jiang Xinbai thought about it and decided to go back early, fearing that her husband would not be able to take care of the store.
"Hey, why are you in such a hurry? Just stay a few more days!" Jiang Baoguo advised quickly.
Jiang Xinbai waved the book and said, "No, brother, Jiabao store still needs me and Jinsheng to look after it. Although they are hiring, I'm still not very reassured. I'd better go back early!"
"Ah, well, okay, the store is important."
"Yes, but brother and sister-in-law, you are already over 50, so you can hand over the chicken farm to them and come to Shenzhen to play for a while. Mom and Dad miss you."
My parents have been living in Shenzhen in recent years. They are old and it is not easy for them to travel back and forth, so my eldest and second brothers only go to visit them during the Chinese New Year holidays, but they haven't been there for several years.
"Hey, I told your eldest brother to let them take care of it, but he refused to listen and said he could still do it."
According to Wu Hehua's idea, she had wanted to quit a long time ago. Anyway, she had a lot of savings, enough for her retirement. She also wanted to eat and drink everywhere and make up for the things she missed out on when she was young.
"Well, look at what you said. They are still young and useless. Without the two of us old people to take charge, what if something goes wrong? This is the family business we worked so hard to build!"
"Still young? You're over 30 years old, and you're the only one who can't let go." Wu Hehua curled her lips. Usually, it's the mother who can't let go of the child, but in their family, it's the opposite, it's the father who can't let go.
"Hey, what do you know, bitch? Who will pay me if I stop working?"
Jiang Baoguo really couldn't help but speak out his worries. If he let go, the future profits of the chicken farm would have nothing to do with him, and he felt uneasy.
Wu Hehua then realized that her husband was worried about this. "I was wondering why you insisted on doing this because you were worried about not having enough money! We have saved a lot of money, which is enough for us to use. Besides, Hongyan and Zhengnan can also give us money for our retirement every month!"
"That's different. Asking others for money and having money yourself are two different things. I have no idea."
"Why is it different? You are the only one who is worried..."
Seeing that their voices were getting louder, Jiang Xinbai quickly advised: "Brother and sister-in-law, what you said makes sense. It's normal for brother to have concerns. Well, you can actually make an agreement with Hongyan Zhengnan that even if you retire, you can still get the annual dividends!"
"Dividends? What does this mean?" Wu Hehua looked puzzled.
Jiang Baoguo nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Xiaobai, do you mean to ask them to give me a portion of their annual earnings?"
"Yes, that's what I mean."
"But how do I know how much money they earn every year?" Jiang Baoguo had a new question.
Jiang Xinbai smiled, "Brother, can't you read the account book? Besides, they are your own sons and daughters, I don't think they will cheat you, don't worry."
"That's right, you old man, you are even arguing with your own son and daughter." Wu Hehua glanced at her husband with dissatisfaction.
"Humph, brothers can settle accounts openly, and so can father and son. But, Xiaobai, your second brother doesn't know you're back yet, how about you meet your second brother tomorrow before leaving?"
Jiang Xinbai shook his head. "No, I came back quietly this time. It's best not to tell my elder brother and his wife that Jiabao and Manman live here. Of course, it's not that I don't trust them, but the more people know, the more risks there are. Don't you agree?"
"Hey, you're right. Lao Er and the others hardly come to the chicken farm anyway, so it's okay." Wu Hehua said with a smile.
In the evening of the next day, Jiang Xinbai quietly left the village under the cover of night and boarded the train back to Shenzhen.
For several days in a row, customers and neighboring merchants asked about Yang Jiabao and his wife, but Yang Jinsheng and Jiang Xinbai always evaded the question by saying they were seeking medical treatment.
Just then, another familiar merchant was full of curiosity and asked, "Uncle, Aunt, what's wrong with Jiabao? Is it serious? He looked fine before, why did he suddenly get sick?"
Jiang Xinbai said vaguely: "In fact, this disease is not life-threatening. Of course, it is not visible at ordinary times. But they heard that there is a Chinese doctor who can treat this disease better, so they went to see him. Hey, it's all for the children, otherwise they would not be willing to abandon the store and run away!"
"A life-threatening disease? For the sake of the child?" The visitor thought about it curiously, and then an answer popped up in his mind. He smiled knowingly and ran away.
Yang Jinsheng looked in the direction where the man ran away, and then asked in a low voice: "Xiaobai, what did he understand?"
"Who knows what he understands? Let them say whatever they want!" Jiang Xinbai thought, let that group of people understand it however they want!
At this time, the merchant who had just run away turned around and looked at the Yang family's store, then quietly leaned against the door of someone else's house, waved and whispered: "Hey, you know what? Yang Jiabao's mother just said that the disease he has is not fatal, but she wants to cure it for the sake of the child. Guess what disease it is?"
"Hey, you want to die? What's wrong with you?" Several people gathered around and asked curiously.
"What else could it be? A man's disease!"
"Hiss, are you saying that Yang Jiabao is not good in that aspect? Oh, my God, I really can't tell." Someone covered his mouth and smiled embarrassedly.
"Hey, how can you tell this? I was wondering why Yang Jiabao only has one daughter and is not in a hurry to have another one. So this is the problem!"
"Tsk tsk, so that's how it is!"
