Because of Uncle Tie's illness, Aunt Zhao's family spent the New Year in Kyoto.
However, Wu Yuanyuan went back home, after all, she still had three children at home.
Now that her father-in-law is alright, all that's left is for him to recuperate. She's worried about the children at home.
Although it was handed over to her own mother, there's still her sister-in-law, isn't there?
She and her sister-in-law have never gotten along. Now that she's been staying away for so long, who knows how much mistreatment her three children have suffered at her sister-in-law's hands.
She couldn't stand it, so after confirming that her father-in-law was alright, she said goodbye to Bu Ling and went home.
Actually, she had another purpose for going back this time.
She needs to prepare for her own small restaurant, fearing that things might change if she delays, and besides, a new year brings a fresh start.
Let's start a new life in '88!
After Wu Yuanyuan left, Bu Ling would visit Uncle Tie's family at the hospital every few days and give them a better meal.
She knew that because of Uncle Tie's illness, their family's savings were running out. During the days he was hospitalized, apart from Uncle Tie, Aunt Zhao and Tie He had been making do with what they could.
Even if she knew, she couldn't pretend she didn't know, so every now and then she would bring them some good food and buy some fruit.
For her, it was just a simple matter of raising her hand, but for the Tie family, it was a timely act of kindness.
Uncle Tie was only allowed to be discharged from the hospital after the snow and ice melted.
After being discharged from the hospital, he, along with Aunt Zhao and Tiehe, solemnly thanked Buling and said, "Little Buling, if you need anything in the future, just let us know. Your brother Tiehe and I will never refuse."
Bu Ling waved his hand: "Uncle Tie, you flatter me."
Uncle Tie is an honest man; he always keeps his word, and Bu Ling has no doubt about that.
After seeing Uncle Tie's family off, Bu Ling turned and went to the bookstore.
There weren't many people in the bookstore at the moment. After Buling arrived, he walked around, checked the inventory of books, and learned about the bookstore's situation.
After learning that nothing serious had happened, she went to the coffee shop next door.
It was lunchtime, and the coffee shop was bustling. Bling found a seat, sat for a while, and then left without ordering anything.
After the bookstore and coffee shop were on track, she hired two store managers, one for each store, while she was responsible for keeping track of the overall direction.
She started the bookstore on a whim, and it wouldn't be worth it if she worked herself to death for it.
When she got home, Aunt Liu brought out the lunch she had prepared, and she ate while scrolling through her phone.
Because of her butterfly, smartphones appeared more than ten years ahead of schedule. With each generation of upgrades, today's mobile phones are not much different from smartphones of later generations, and it is very convenient to read news and information.
I was eating when Jiang Wanying arrived.
"Is your sister-in-law eating?"
Bu Ling put down her phone and wiped her mouth: "Sister-in-law Xiao Jiang? Is there something you need?"
Jiang Wanying didn't stand on ceremony and sat down. "Yes."
Bling raised an eyebrow and looked at her.
Jiang Wanying hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sister-in-law, have you heard of in vitro fertilization?"
“I’ve heard of it.” Bling nodded, then quickly realized, “You wouldn’t be thinking of…?”
“Yes.” Jiang Wanying took a deep breath: “I saw on the news that a test-tube baby was born, and I… I want to try it.”
Over the years, her child has become a major worry for her.
Because of her health condition, Xie Dong cannot have his own biological children, and he often can't sleep when he thinks about her in the middle of the night.
She didn't want the Xie family line to truly end.
"Sister-in-law, you know someone at the hospital, could you help me ask around?" Jiang Wanying looked at her expectantly.
Bu Ling hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's possible." Before Jiang Wanying's eyes could light up, she added, "Have you discussed it with Brother Xie?"
In her memory, in vitro fertilization was for infertility, and it didn't seem to apply to Jiang Wanying's situation.
Jiang Wanying cannot have children because she has a heart condition; if she were to give birth, she might die.
But she is not incapable of having children, and Xie Dong has no problem with it either.
The IVF babies will eventually grow in the mother's uterus, so it makes no difference to Jiang Wanying.
That's what she thought, and that's what she said to Jiang Wanying.
After saying that, seeing Jiang Wanying's face turn ashen and her once hopeful eyes dim, she quickly changed her words: "Maybe I misunderstood. I'll ask her another day."
After this incident, Jiang Wanying was no longer happy as before, and answered softly, "Okay."
I thought there was hope, but it still didn't work out?
After sitting for a while, she said goodbye, and Bu Ling didn't try to stop her.
After finishing her meal, thinking about Jiang Wanying's request, Bu Ling hesitated for a moment before dialing Monkey's number:
"Hey bro, got some time? I'd like to treat you to dinner."
The monkey's emotionless voice came through: "Do you need something from me again?"
"Hey, you're so narrow-minded. Do you think your sister is that kind of person? She's really inviting you to dinner." Bling rebuked him.
"Didn't I promise you this because you did me such a big favor last time?"
"Really?" The monkey was clearly skeptical. "I remember your relative just left, right? You've already kept your promise so quickly?"
Something's not right, let me ask again.
Are you sure you don't want to ask me for help?
Buling said with an upright expression, "Of course, don't you trust me?"
"Heh~"
"One word: are you coming or not?" Bu Ling stopped beating around the bush and asked directly.
"Come on," the monkey said decisively, "I have to come."
"Alright, bring your wife and daughter, and Fatty's family too, call them all, I'm rich!" Bu Ling said arrogantly.
"Okay." A monkey-like, cheerful voice came from the phone: "Tonight?"
