Hua Guangzong quickly handed over the sugar coupons, then searched around and found only two ounces of meat coupons. "So that's what happened. It's a pity that this is all I have on hand. I'll give it to my niece-in-law to make up for it."
The Dong family father and son were at a loss. They only wanted to express their gratitude, not to ask for anything, and refused to accept it under any circumstances.
Hua Xiangyun used her spiritual energy to open her eyes and saw the faces of the Dong family father and son. They were honest and upright people who had lived a mediocre life, but were peaceful and happy.
However, the pregnancy of Dong Kaishan's wife was really dangerous. Although she was able to give birth, she would be very sickly, which added a lot of pressure to this poor family.
Since she felt a connection with him and he had saved her life, Hua Xiangyun secretly pulled Hua Guangzong aside and briefly explained what she had discovered.
"Although he will survive, he will be sickly afterward."
Hua Guangzong had a good impression of the Dong family and was willing to help them, but only if his granddaughter was not implicated. "Give me that talisman, and I'll handle this. Just stay quiet for a moment."
Hua Xiangyun nodded. "Please remember to remind him that it's best to go to the hospital to wait when it's time to give birth."
Hua Guangzong kept this in mind. When the grandfather and grandson arrived, the father and son had already picked a small pile of ginger, so he quickly went over to stop them.
"That's enough. Any more and we won't be able to finish it, and it would be a waste."
"Our two families are so familiar with each other, I'll come over and exchange with you next time I need to."
Hua Guangzong didn't expect this family to be so honest. If they kept pulling them up, all the ginger in the backyard would be pulled up.
He packed the ginger, and seeing that no one was outside, he said, "Old brother, I don't know if you've ever heard of the Xuanmen before."
Old Dong glanced outside warily before nodding and saying excitedly, "To tell you the truth, my life was saved by the master back then."
"If the master hadn't used an illusion that day, I would have lost my life long ago."
While everyone outside is destroying the Four Olds, he knows that some things don't simply disappear just because they're talked about.
Some of the older folks still have this belief, and over the years, if they encounter any problems, they are willing to seek out unorthodox solutions in secret.
Seeing that he didn't mind, Hua Guangrong took out a folded amulet from his pocket and said, "I got this amulet by chance, and it's for protection."
Hearing about your daughter-in-law's situation, I couldn't help but worry, which is why I risked taking this out. Whether it works or not, it's just for peace of mind."
Old Dong accepted the gift with both hands, saying, "Thank you so much. My daughter-in-law was feeling unwell after accidentally falling down."
We rural folks don't have the means to stay in bed and recuperate, so we had to beg the brigade leader to do some lighter work.
I was thinking of finding a good luck charm, but as you know, those with real skills don't show themselves these days.
This is a real lifesaver! I'll shamelessly accept it.
Hua Xiangyun breathed a sigh of relief. At least this peace charm could help his daughter-in-law avert a few minor calamities, and at least ensure that her constitution wouldn't be too weak when she gave birth.
Dong Kaishan was extremely grateful and insisted that they stay for a meal at his home. Seeing how polite they were, the Hua family grandfather and grandson felt a little embarrassed and had no choice but to hurriedly say goodbye with their things.
When they arrived at the village entrance, they found it already crowded with villagers. Hua Guangzong went over and asked what was wrong, only to find out that someone had just been bitten by a snake and had been taken to the hospital. Now, everyone was here looking at the snake that had been killed.
This is a highly venomous silver ring, and it looks to be over a meter long.
I heard they were cleaning the vegetable garden when they accidentally disturbed a snake that was hibernating there.
Fortunately, the family discovered it early and immediately found villagers to carry the person to the hospital. The rest of the team killed the snake in the vegetable garden.
On the way back, Hua Guangzong looked at Hua Xiangyun several times. When they entered the city and were all alone, he said, "The family they mentioned is one of the families I often go to to exchange things."
If you hadn't come with me today, and we had gone to visit the Dong family instead, I would have gone to their house instead.
Even if the snake doesn't bite him in the end, he knows his own heart well, and in this sudden fright, there is a high possibility that something even more dangerous could happen.
Hua Xiangyun was even more determined to find some jade as soon as possible, and then carve a few inconspicuous jade amulets to provide her family with an extra layer of protection.
She smiled at Hua Guangzong and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa's family only suffered financial losses; there's no danger to their lives."
Hospitals now have serum containing this type of silver ring on hand, not to mention that there are many traditional remedies in rural areas. It's just a bit of hardship, but you'll get through it safely.
Hua Guangzong believed what Hua Xiangyun said. "That's good. I didn't expect Master Wu to be so generous to you. You've learned so much in such a short time."
Hua Xiangyun nodded with a smile, "Your granddaughter is smart too!"
Hua Guangzong had an inexplicable confidence in his own child, saying, "Xiao Guai's studies have always been the best, even surpassing your two older brothers."
All the best minds in our family are in you; our little one's future is definitely bright.
Hua Xiangyun readily accepted her grandfather's expectations, saying, "Of course, I will rely on my own abilities to take care of you in the future."
Hua Guangzong laughed heartily and said, "Then we'll all be waiting."
The older Hua Guangzong gets, the more open-minded he becomes.
They haven't even had a son to rely on all these years, let alone their grandchildren.
Although their children are all doing well, they have their own plans. They are trying their best to take good care of their health so as not to cause trouble for their children or to ensure that they live a miserable old age.
However, he still liked to hear nice words, especially since he could tell that Xiao Guai was being sincere.
The grandfather and grandson chatted and laughed as they returned home, by which time it was already getting a little dark.
Seeing the grandfather and grandson return, Tian Guihua quickly took the bag from their hands. "Everything was ready, just waiting for your ginger to go into the pot. What have you two been up to?"
Despite her complaints, Tian Guihua was quick to act, as there was a pregnant woman at home who couldn't afford to go hungry.
The three people who went out to work also returned. Hua Zhian was helping in the kitchen. These days, he had been eating in the factory canteen for lunch, and the food was not oily at all. He was looking forward to this dinner.
Besides, there's no such thing as men being superior in their family. He does all the chores he's supposed to do when he gets home, especially since it's cold. To take care of the women in the family, he even takes care of washing dishes in the kitchen.
"You're so lucky, you can go out and hang out with Grandpa and the others. I thought working in the factory would be easier, but I didn't expect they don't even give us weekends off." Hua Zhian hadn't quite adjusted yet and couldn't help but complain.
