Chapter 995 (Page 1/2)
Lin Man nodded slightly, indicating that she understood. "Okay, Mom, I understand. Grandpa said Qingci called around 2:00 p.m. to wish us a happy new year. Unfortunately, we didn't answer the call, but Grandpa said he would call again tomorrow at noon."
Xiao Ya looked embarrassed and seemed a little hesitant. After a while, she said, "I have to send Chenchen and the others to the Song family tomorrow morning. I might go back to my parents' home for lunch."
Lin Man thought for a moment and suggested, "Mom, you want to go back to your parents' home to pay New Year's greetings, right? Then I'll have Qinghuan take Ningning to pay New Year's greetings to grandpa and grandma as well!"
She thought to herself that since everyone had moved to the city, they should go and pay New Year's greetings to Huo Qingci's grandmother.
She needs to entertain her sister-in-law and her family tomorrow, and she is afraid that she will not have the time, so it would be most appropriate to let her brother-in-law Huo Qinghuan bring her eldest son Ningning over.
Xiao Ya smiled delightedly upon hearing this. "That's great! In that case, let Qing Huan and Ning Ning go with us to the Song family tomorrow morning, and then we'll go back to my parents' home together."
Lin Man turned to look at Huo Qinghuan and asked, "Qinghuan, what do you think of this arrangement?"
Huo Qinghuan smiled and said, "I don't have any problems on my side, but I don't know how long my parents plan to stay at the Song family."
Huo Junshan, who was standing by, thought for a moment and then replied, "Well, we'll see how the situation develops later! The most important thing is that An Yan and An Ran don't have anyone to take care of them."
In fact, Huo Junshan originally wanted to visit his father-in-law and mother-in-law's house to pay New Year's greetings earlier, but because his wife said she wanted to stay at the Song family to help take care of the grandchildren, he was worried that they would be scared.
He originally wanted to leave the child in the courtyard, but if they didn't go to the Song family, he was afraid that Song Jingjing's sister-in-law would have objections again.
Huo Qinghuan suddenly suggested, "Dad, how about I take Ningning to visit Grandpa and Grandma at 11 o'clock tomorrow? We went to the Song family today, so we don't really want to go tomorrow. We'll go see her off on the day of Aunt Tang's funeral."
Huo Junshan nodded. "Alright, if you don't want to go, then don't go. We'll take Chenchen and the others there. It's cold, so everyone should get some rest early."
Early in the morning on the second day of the Lunar New Year, after Huo Junshan and Xiao Ya had breakfast, they took Huo Yichen and his four siblings to the Song family.
At about nine o'clock, Huo Junmo and her family came to Mr. Huo's house to wish him a happy new year.
Everyone sat together, drinking tea and chatting happily.
At this time, Huo Junmo's third brother and sister-in-law were not at home, so she casually asked, "Xiao Man, where are your parents-in-law? Did they go to the Xiao family so early?"
Lin Man replied, "Aunt, they took Chenchen to the Song family."

"Going to the Song family?" Huo Junmo was a little confused. "Jingjing went back to her parents' home for New Year's greetings, so why did my brother and sister-in-law also go with her?"
Lin Man explained: "Aunt, didn't the Song family send you a message? Actually, your sister-in-law's mother passed away."
"Who did you say is missing?" Huo Junmo asked in surprise.
"Song Jingjing's mother passed away on the morning of New Year's Day." Lin Man said softly.
"You said Ms. Tang is gone?" Huo Junmo was incredulous. "Wasn't she about the same age as my sister-in-law? How could she just disappear so suddenly?
I had never heard of her being ill before. Last time I went to Jingjing's shop, her mother looked rosy and healthy.
Lin Man sighed and said, "Aunt, Chenchen's grandmother died of a cerebral hemorrhage due to high blood pressure, so she passed away quite suddenly."
Huo Junmo said suspiciously, "A sudden cerebral hemorrhage due to high blood pressure? That's too sudden! How pitiful! But then again, high blood pressure isn't a particularly serious illness. My father-in-law has high blood pressure, and he's always relied on medication to control it."
Lin Man explained, "Maybe Chenchen's grandmother doesn't know she has high blood pressure. As people age, they're prone to all sorts of health problems.
So I think it’s better to go to the hospital for a comprehensive check-up every quarter.
That way, if there are any health problems, they can be discovered and treated in time, and won’t become as serious as they are now.”
Huo Junmo suddenly said seriously, "Xiao Man, life and death are actually determined by fate. Look at your mother-in-law, she had breast cancer before, but she got surgery and recovered, didn't she?
My sister-in-law looked thin, but she was very strong. Ms. Tang looked very healthy. She must have been unlucky, otherwise why would she pass away so suddenly?
Lin Man smiled awkwardly, "Maybe, Grandma Chenchen fell and caused a ruptured blood vessel in her brain."
If she hadn't fallen, Song Jingjing's mother might not have died yesterday. As for her mother-in-law, if she hadn't secretly given her a special medicine, she might have died long ago.
Lin Man thought that if her mother-in-law died, her sister-in-law Huo Rou would definitely be taken to her home by her grandfather to be raised.
It’s good like this now. My mother-in-law is still alive and she can raise her little daughter by herself.
Also, if her mother-in-law passed away, her husband and children would probably be very sad, and she also hoped that her parents-in-law could live longer.
