Chapter 18 Grandpa



Zhao Qingshan didn't sleep for a whole day and night. He looked at his pale granddaughter lying on the bed with a gloomy face.

Zhao Qingshan felt a little regretful. If he had insisted on his own opinion and disagreed with Yunxiang and Zhou Zhixin's marriage, Yunxiang would definitely not have suffered so much.

Zhao Guohui had already recounted yesterday's events on the way to Sanhe Town to pick up his father. At the end, Zhao Guohui also said that if his sister didn't want to live with Zhou Zhixin anymore, she could return to her parents' home and he would support her and her children.

Zhao Qingshan is not as impulsive as Zhao Guohui. As he is older, he considers things more comprehensively.

If you ignore those annoying relatives of the Zhou family, Zhou Zhixin is a good son-in-law. Zhou Zhixin is handsome and smart. With him protecting them, Yunxiang and her daughter will definitely be able to live a good life.

Unfortunately, Zhou Zhixin's job meant he couldn't stay home all year. Zhao Qingshan had suggested that Zhao Yunxiang join the army, but she always shook her head. Zhao Qingshan asked her if it was the old woman from the Zhou family who was causing trouble, but Zhao Yunxiang refused to say a word against Wu Jinfeng.

He raised his daughter to be so honest. From childhood to adulthood, Zhao Yunxiang has been very sensible, thinking more about others than herself. A motherless child will become sensible early!

Given Zhao Yunxiang's personality, if she had married into a kind family, her family would have been able to live happily together. Unfortunately, except for Zhou Zhixin, everyone in the Zhou family was a troublemaker.

After Zhao Yunxiang got married, Zhao Qingshan often went to Zhoujia Village, but Zhao Yunxiang said everything was fine every time. Over time, Zhao Qingshan relaxed his vigilance.

Zhaojiagou is seventy or eighty miles away from Zhoujia Village. Zhao Yunxiang refused to ask her family to help her. Zhao Qingshan had no reason to attack the Zhou family.

Now, after the incident with Yuanyuan, even if Yunxiang doesn't allow it, he won't let those bastards from the Zhou family go.

Zhao Qingshan was making plans in his mind, his eyes flashing with coldness. His daughter and grandson, Zhao Qingshan, were not to be bullied by anyone who wanted to!

Old man Zhou Chunping came to the hospital yesterday and asked about Yuanyuan's condition in a hypocritical manner. When the doctor said Yuanyuan's condition was very dangerous, the old man didn't seem worried at all. He just put down a few dollars and left.

Zhao Qingshan didn't want Zhou Chunping's money at first, but then he thought that the old couple Zhou Chunping had swallowed up so much money from Yunxiang and her husband over the years, so it would be only right for them to give back some of it.

If Yunxiang hadn't had the money to pay Yuanyuan's hospital bills, would his silly daughter have kept these things a secret from him and Guohui?

After Zhao Qingshan figured it out, he didn't throw Zhou Chunping's money away, but he didn't give Zhou Chunping a good look.

Zhou Chunping thought Zhao Qingshan was simply worried about Yuanyuan's illness, unaware that Zhao Qingshan had already discovered every "good" thing their family had done. For the sake of appearances, Zhou Chunping considered himself to have "visited" his granddaughter. After leaving the money, Zhou Chunping returned to Zhoujia Village with a clear conscience.

Zhou Chunping didn't know that Zhao Qingshan was watching his back, wondering when he would teach him and the entire Zhou family a profound lesson.

When Zhou Yuanyuan woke up again, she saw a smiling face with a messy beard.

"Grandpa." Zhou Yuanyuan called out happily.

"My dear little Jiu." Zhao Qingshan happily stroked his granddaughter's soft curly hair. The child had suffered a lot this time, with a fever of over 39 degrees Celsius. When he rushed to the hospital, Yuanyuan had already started to convulse.

Zhao Qingshan asked Zhao Yunxiang to use alcohol to constantly wipe the child's forehead, armpits, buttocks and other places, and combined with the hospital's fever-reducing injections, Yuanyuan's fever finally subsided after a day and a night.

After Yuanyuan's fever subsided, Zhao Yunxiang rushed to her brother's house to make some food and brought it over, leaving Zhao Qingshan to look after her in the hospital.

Seeing that Yuanyuan was about to wake up, Zhao Qingshan hurriedly rubbed the stiff muscles on his face and smiled widely.

The child is still young, and she shouldn't be scared by adult matters.

"Grandpa, Yuanyuan misses you." Zhou Yuanyuan stretched out her hands, motioning for Zhao Qingshan to give her a hug. In her past and present lives, Zhou Yuanyuan hadn't seen her grandfather in ages.

Zhou Yuanyuan felt weak all over after her high fever subsided. If she could get up, she would have jumped onto Zhao Qingshan.

When Zhou Yuanyuan was little, she loved playing the beard poking game with Zhao Qingshan. Zhao Qingshan, with his big beard, loved to pretend to scare his grandson and granddaughter and play the game with them.

Zhou Yuanyuan felt that after her rebirth, not only had her body shrunk, but her mental age had also shrunk. Thinking back on that childish game of beard poking faces, how could she still be filled with anticipation?

"My dear little Xiaojiu, you can't get up and play. The doctor said that if you catch a cold in this kind of weather, you will need an injection in your butt." Zhao Qingshan coaxed Zhou Yuanyuan.

After Zhou Yuanyuan was sent to the People's Hospital yesterday morning, Zhao Guohui immediately returned to Zhaojiagou and took Zhao Qingshan to the town.

If Zhao Qingshan hadn't immediately ordered Zhao Yunxiang to perform physical cooling on Yuanyuan, Zhou Yuanyuan might never have woken up. Sanhe Town People's Hospital's medical facilities weren't very good, and medications were scarce. After Zhou Yuanyuan fell into a coma, a fever-reducing injection remained at over 39 degrees Celsius, completely useless.

Zhao Qingshan's inherited medical skills were well-known throughout Yuyuan County. It was said that one of Zhao's ancestors had been a court physician, and later, to avoid disaster or for some other reason, the Zhao family moved from the capital and settled in the picturesque Zhaojiagou.

Before liberation, there was no hospital in Yuyuan County. People from a hundred miles around would rush to Zhao Qingshan's home in Zhaojiagou to see a doctor if they had a headache or fever. They would pick up some Chinese medicine and boil it back home.

Zhao Qingshan's grandfather would go to the back mountain to collect herbs in his spare time. The fees were cheap, and the villagers were quite respectful to the Zhao family.

More than a decade ago, Sanhe Town had a hospital. Some headaches and fevers could be cured with a single injection, which was more effective than taking traditional Chinese medicine. As a result, the number of people visiting the Zhao family for treatment gradually decreased. Furthermore, after the death of the Zhao family's grandfather, the Zhao family rarely provided medical treatment.

Zhao Qingshan came from a family of doctors, having learned 70% to 80% of his grandfather's skills. He had a pension, so he didn't have to rely on medical treatment to make ends meet. However, Zhao Qingshan would still see patients referred by his old friends.

Thanks to his medical skills, Zhao Qingshan actually knew quite a few high-ranking officials and dignitaries. The meaning of life-saving grace is applicable in any era.

Zhao Qingshan was a soldier who had participated in the war. He had lost many comrades in the battle to help a neighboring country repel an invading army. Zhao Qingshan himself had been shot in the knee, leaving him with a third-degree disability and a slight limp when he walked.

After retiring from the army, Zhao Qingshan served as the Party Secretary of the Sanhe Town Supply and Marketing Cooperative. Because of his integrity and selflessness, he was loved by the majority of employees.

After Zhao Qingshan retired a few years ago, Zhao Guohui took over the supply and marketing cooperative. Zhao Guohui was quick-witted, and with the extensive connections Zhao Qingshan had left behind, within three years, he became director of the supply and marketing cooperative.

These were all things Zhou Yuanyuan pieced together from other people's mouths after she grew up in her previous life. When Zhou Yuanyuan was five years old in her previous life, she had no idea that her grandfather was so awesome.
