Upon hearing this, Chen Dongsheng didn't say anything, nor did he intend to tell Old Master Chen about his suspicions about his stepmother Zhang Hua.
The reason for this idea is simply that they don't want to trouble Grandpa Chen too much.
After all, Old Master Chen is getting old. If he finds out that Zhang Hua's childish act harbors malicious intentions, not only plotting to kill Chen's eldest grandson, but also ruining Chen's youngest grandson and having his legs crippled.
She did this so that her own son could access all of the Chen family's resources and connections.
Or rather, Zhang Hua, that woman, wanted to turn the Chen family into their possession.
Chen Dongze felt that his guess was pretty close to the truth, but to confirm whether the guess was true, he would need to provide evidence.
Since he has no control over anything yet, he naturally cannot make any moves that might alert the enemy, nor can he let his grandfather know, lest the old man be enraged and something bad happen to him.
"Do you need Grandpa's help to make some arrangements for Xiaoxu?"
Old Master Chen suddenly asked.
“I was thinking of asking my dad if he knew anyone at the Hongxing Machinery Factory, so that we could arrange a place for Xiaoxu to stay in the factory’s residential compound where Comrade Song Lan lives.”
Hearing Chen Dongsheng say this, Old Master Chen guessed the reason without much thought.
"Are you trying to make it easier for Xiaoxu to go to that girl's house for treatment?"
Before Chen Dongsheng could respond, Old Master Chen asked the question that had been bothering him: "As far as I know, the Red Star Machinery Factory has an employee hospital. Why didn't you think of having Xiaoxu check in there?"
Chen Dongsheng: "Comrade Song Lan learned her medical skills from her maternal grandfather when she was young. She graduated from medical school and was originally a nurse at the staff hospital of the steel plant in Beijing."
However, due to some issue, she was transferred to the staff hospital near the machinery factory. Currently, she doesn't have a medical license, and according to hospital regulations, they probably won't let her, a nurse, treat Xiaoxu.
Old Master Chen understood. He was silent for a moment, then asked, "Do you know the specifics? It's about that young comrade being transferred to the branch factory's staff hospital. There must be a reason for that, right?"
"According to Song Lan's information, it is related to the incident involving her husband's family. However, Song Lan's father-in-law has recently been taken back to Beijing by his former work unit."
Chen Dongsheng responded.
"Is everything alright now?"
"Old Master Chen asked."
"Um."
Chen Dongsheng nodded and then said, "It's alright. Comrade Song Lan is still working at the Machinery Factory Staff Hospital, which is probably related to her husband working at the Machinery Factory."
"That's good."
Grandpa Chen said, "Your dad is busy with work, so there's no need to trouble him. I'll call the machinery factory right now and have your Uncle Zhang arrange a place for Xiao Xu to stay."
"Uncle Zhang?"
Chen Dongsheng thought for a moment and realized that he did not know any Uncle Zhang.
“Your Uncle Zhang is the factory director of the machinery factory. He worked under me for several years.”
Grandpa Chen said gently, "He was a fierce general, but he had to leave the team due to serious injuries. Otherwise, his achievements would definitely be no less than your father's."
Of course, since he took on the role of factory director, he has also done an excellent job; he's truly outstanding!
"Then I'll trouble Grandpa to call Uncle Zhang and make arrangements."
Chen Dongsheng said, "Xiao Xu's leg can't be delayed. The sooner we get Comrade Song Lan to examine it, the sooner we can know if there's any possibility of Xiao Xu's leg being cured."
If so, early treatment will not do any harm to Xiaoxu.
"Okay, I'll make the call right away."
Grandpa Chen put on his reading glasses and took out a palm-sized black leather notebook from the coffee table drawer. It was a telephone directory.
He found the phone number at Director Zhang's home, picked up the receiver, and dialed.
It was nearing evening, and most workplaces had already closed for the day.
As soon as Director Zhang's voice came through the microphone, Old Master Chen explained the situation in a few words and immediately received Director Zhang's approval.
"What did Uncle Zhang say?"
Seeing that Old Master Chen had ended the call, Chen Dongsheng couldn't help but ask.
"Your Uncle Zhang's family also lives in the old residential area, and not far from the home of that young comrade you mentioned. He said he has a place to stay at home."
After Xiaoxu arrives, he can stay at his house directly, so that Xiaoxu's three meals a day will be taken care of.
Besides, your aunt usually stays at home, and since Xiaoxu will be staying with us, your aunt can take care of her to some extent.
"Little Sun will have to come along with us then."
The "Little Sun" that Chen Dongsheng mentioned is named Sun Hao, and he is Chen Dongxu's caregiver.
"That's for sure."
My grandson can't move his legs and can't be left alone. We can't do without him.
"Then I'll talk to my dad about it as soon as I get back to the compound."
"We should let your father know."
"By the way, should Comrade Song Lan take a look at my grandma later?"
"Your grandmother's health has been quite good lately, so please take good care of Xiao Xu for now, lest the young man feel unhappy and think that our family is too much trouble."
"We can't let Comrade Song Lan see it for free. Regardless of whether Xiao Xu's leg can be cured, we have to pay her."
"Compensation will definitely be paid."
As Grandpa Chen spoke, he thought of his grandson's current situation again, and his eyes involuntarily filled with heartache. He said, "I hope that young comrade can help Xiao Xu stand up again!"
"Grandpa, don't worry, I think there's a good chance."
He has confidence in Comrade Song Lan!
The grandmother and grandson chatted for about half an hour before Chen Dongsheng got up and said, "I'm going to my room to sit with Grandma for a while."
"Go."
Grandpa Chen nodded.
...
It was past 7:30 p.m. when Chen Dongsheng returned to the compound from the courtyard house.
"Dad, Aunt Zhang."
As I entered the house, I saw my father and stepmother sitting in the living room. One of them was looking down at the newspaper, while the other sat there listlessly, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
Chen Dongsheng showed no unusual expression and greeted the two men.
"I'll go check on Xiaoxu."
