Chapter 331 Reasons for coming back, persuasion
Zhang Wanwan said this in a coaxing tone.
Zhang's mother was happy at one moment and angry at the next. She tilted her head and glanced, obviously unwilling to go to the hospital or take medicine for treatment.
Zhang Wanwan was helpless, she sighed, and helped Zhang's mother lie down, "Okay, okay, since you don't want to go to the hospital, we won't rush. Are you hungry? I'll cook some noodles for you, okay?"
A trace of worry flashed across Zhang's mother's face. After hesitating for a moment, she slowly pricked up her ears to listen to the noises in the kitchen. What she was thinking in her heart was that her daughter had never cooked since she was a child, and she didn't know if the food she cooked was edible. It was a pity that she no longer had the ability to take care of them!
Thinking of this, a tear rolled down Zhang's mother's eyes, and she tried hard not to cry out loud.
The noodles were ready soon. Zhang Wanwan made herself a bowl and added more water. She scooped out Zhang's mother's portion and brought it into the room, "Mom, I'll feed you first."
Mother Zhang shook her head and kept looking at Zhang Wanwan. Zhang Wanwan instantly understood what she meant, "I'll eat later. There's no rush."
But Zhang's mother refused and insisted that she eat first.
Zhang Wanwan had no choice but to bring in her own portion and take a few bites while Zhang's mother was feeding her.
The two had just finished eating noodles when Zhang's father and Zhang Boyan came back. They were both shocked to see Zhang Wanwan appear at home.
"Girl, it's only December now, why did you come back? Didn't you say you were going to find a job in Beijing this year?" Zhang's father asked worriedly. He secretly thought that Zhang Wanwan came back because her work was not going well, and he began to get anxious again.
Zhang Baiyan was also worried. Now her family is counting on her to work and earn more money so that they can afford to pay for her mother's medical treatment.
Zhang Wanwan quickly explained, "My job is already secured, and I came back because everything has been arranged in Beijing. I'm worried about Mom's current condition, and I happened to have made tens of thousands of dollars this time. I wanted to take Mom to the hospital for another course of treatment, but she didn't want to. She even gave me a cold shoulder just now, so I can only persuade her a little longer."
The father and son both breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. A few tens of thousands of dollars was already a huge sum of money for their family and was enough for them to catch their breath for a while.
Zhang Wanwan felt sour when she saw the reactions of the two. After she was reborn, Zhang's father had to suffer in his early years, but later on, he could be said to be almost smooth sailing and had no shortage of money. How could he show such an expression just because of tens of thousands of dollars? Not to mention Zhang Baiyan. Zhang Baiyan in this life is not as tall and handsome as he was back then, and his temperament is no different from others. He is also a little inferior because of his family reasons and doesn't talk much.
Zhang Wanwan didn't want to reminisce anymore, so she calmed down and said, "Dad, brother, did you guys eat dinner? I cooked some noodles, and there's still some left in the pot."
Zhang Baiyan shook his head, glanced at Zhang's mother's room, and asked, "Has Mom eaten?"
Zhang Wanwan nodded, and Zhang Baiyan smiled with satisfaction. Zhang Wanwan never cooked before, and they didn't say anything, but they still hoped that she could help more. Now Zhang Wanwan has such awareness without them asking, which is really surprising.
Zhang's father was so happy that when he saw that Zhang Boyan didn't want to eat it, he went to finish the remaining noodles. While eating, he praised Zhang Wanwan for her good cooking skills.
Zhang Baiyan just thought that Zhang's father was encouraging Zhang Wanwan, so he just smiled and said nothing.
Zhang Wanwan said to her father, "Dad, I want to go to my hometown in the countryside tomorrow to burn some incense for grandpa, and also see if it's still habitable there. If it is, I want to clean it up, clear out a few rooms, and take my mom there to stay for a while to recuperate."
"Why do you suddenly think of this?" Zhang's father asked with a puzzled frown.
Zhang Baiyan also looked confused.
Zhang Wanwan pondered and said, "This is what I think. Although our home in the city is convenient, it is small, dark and damp, which is not suitable for my mother to recuperate. The air in my hometown is good, the location is large, and there is a big courtyard. If my mother doesn't like others to visit her, she can just close the door and sit in the yard to bask in the sun without having to pay attention to some annoying neighbors around. Her mood may become better. If she is in a better mood, maybe her health will slowly get better."
Zhang's father was indeed a little moved when he heard this, but he immediately shook his head and denied it, "If your mother goes back to her hometown, there will be no one to take care of her. Here, your brother and I can come back to take care of her, but what about her life over there?"
"Me!" Zhang Wanwan said as a matter of course: "Dad, I'm working with someone on a project now, and I can control it remotely, so I don't have to be there in person. When the time comes, I can just install broadband in my hometown, and I can make money at the same time. Besides, I can also open a store in town, so I can make a little money and take care of my mom. It would be good for her to leave here and change the environment, right?"
Zhang's father knew that Zhang's mother was a strong-willed person. She had always been at odds with some gossipy neighbors. Now that she was sick, she could still hear those people making indirect accusations from time to time. Naturally, she was not in a good mood.
Seeing that his father was still hesitating, Zhang Baiyan, who had been deep in thought, suddenly said, "Dad, why don't you listen to my younger sister and give it a try? Regardless of whether it is good for my mother's health, the environment over there is indeed more suitable for my mother to recuperate. In addition, it is winter now, so there is no need to worry about the problem of the slab house being stuffy. Let's go and live there for a while and try it out."
Seeing that his children all wanted the same thing, Mr. Zhang had no choice but to agree.
That night, after Zhang's father entered the room, he told Zhang's mother about Zhang Wanwan's proposal. Seeing that Zhang's mother was a little excited, Zhang's father advised: "The child is also filial. It's rare that Wanwan is so sensible now. She wants to show more filial piety to you. Don't refuse. I know what you are worried about. You don't want to hinder the child's future because of your illness. The child has already said that she has arranged everything in Beijing and will not be a burden. You can go there for the winter first, and wait until the girl goes to school to get her diploma next year. If your health improves, I will resign and go to the countryside to take care of you. I will never let the girl be trapped there. If it doesn't get better, we will come back, okay?"
Mother Zhang just kept crying, neither nodding nor shaking her head.
Father Zhang sighed again, turned off the lights and lay down.
The next morning, Zhang Wanwan got up at six o'clock to cook for her family. In the past, this job was always done by Zhang's father. Now she prepared everything in an orderly manner and her father found it somewhat fresh.
It really does feel different to be able to eat fresh hot meals right away.
Zhang Wanwan had washed her mother before seven o'clock, fed her a bowl of porridge, took her backpack and said to Zhang's father and Zhang Boyan, "Dad, brother, I'm going out first. I'll trouble you to take care of Mom at noon. I'll take care of her at night."
"Okay." Zhang Baiyan agreed crisply. Perhaps because of the presence of Zhang Wanwan, his mental pressure was much less, and his overall spirit was much better.
