Chapter 810: Grandma Jiu's Family
After hearing these words, Xu Zijin's heart really ached.
There is no one left in the husband's family, not to mention there is no help from the parents' family, but now the nephew and grandson are harming the elderly. This is really hateful.
Since Grandma Jiu refused to call the police, Xu Zijin naturally wouldn't do it either.
"Okay, I won't report it. Don't worry."
Granny Jiu finally smiled: "Girl, let me tell you about my mother's family."
"Didn't I tell you that?"
The elderly like to chat with others, and chatting can distract them from the pain.
Xu Zijin nodded immediately: "Well, I haven't heard of it. Go ahead."
Granny Nine narrowed her eyes, as if she was reminiscing.
"My father has one wife and three concubines. He has seven sons and six daughters in total. I am the sixth."
"We have many brothers and sisters, but because we are not born to the same mother, the age difference is not big."
"My eldest brother, my tenth brother, and I are all legitimate sons and daughters."
"My tenth brother died on the battlefield, leaving no children."
"My eldest brother married three wives and concubines, but he only gave birth to my nephew as a son."
"I don't know if I did something wrong in my previous life, oh!"
At this point, Granny Nine sighed softly before continuing, "My nephew married and divorced many times in order to have a son."
"After more than 20 years of struggle, I only have this one son."
"Because it is so precious, I have spoiled it since it was young."
"My mother's family was also well off at the time, with thousands of acres of fertile land and dozens of shops."
"Although the land and the shop were donated later, I still have a lot of hard currency."
"Maybe the money was too much. This kid has been gambling since he was a teenager."
"He gambled away everything in the house over the past decade."
"He's already 30 years old, but he doesn't think about starting a family. In the past few years, he would go home and ask for money every day after he lost all his money."
"If I didn't give it to you, you would make a scene and threaten me to death. My eldest brother really couldn't afford it, so he came to me again and again."
"It's a bottomless pit. Who can fill it?"
"Later, I refused to give it to them no matter what, and told them not to come to me again."
"But they didn't believe me and told me to never go back to my parents' home. They no longer acknowledged me."
Xu Zijin: “…”
——Jiu Po’s elder brother…does he have a grudge against me?
——I have always wanted to have a child, but after giving birth I didn’t educate the child well. How foolish.
The grandparents chattered until they were tired and the old man fell asleep.
Qi Hong and Chen Xiumei both knew Grandma Jiu, and when they learned that the old lady had fallen and injured herself, they quickly came to visit her.
When the two came, they took money and eggs.
"Zijin, I'm not busy before the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. I'll help take care of you for a few days."
As soon as Chen Xiumei finished speaking, Qi Hong also said: "I'm not busy either. I'll open on the tenth day of the first lunar month, so I'll come for a few days."
"Xiumei, I come in the morning every day and you come in the afternoon, how about that?"
Chen Xiumei nodded immediately: "Yes, yes, it's settled."
"My mother-in-law and younger sister are at home, so there's nothing to do during the Chinese New Year."
"Besides, my Jianqiang has already been transferred to civilian work, so he doesn't need to work in the army anymore."
"The place won't be reported until the second half of the year. He's the least busy now. He's at home. Just let me help you."
Xu Zijin was very touched by the kindness of her sisters.
It’s the New Year, who doesn’t have something going on?
She smiled and shook her head: "Thank you very much, Aunt Wang and Aunt Niu will come to help watch over it, you don't have to worry about it."
Chen Xiumei opened her mouth and asked, "Did you hire someone?"
Xu Zijin nodded: "Someone must be on guard at night, it won't work without someone."
"Aunt Wang and her daughter-in-law are close relatives, so it would be great if they are willing to come, so I don't have to invite others."
"Don't worry, I'll come over to check on you every day."
It’s best to ask for help.
Both of them are businessmen and know that it is better to pay money than to owe favors.
At noon, Lu Yuzhu brought the food.
"Sister-in-law, this bucket contains chicken soup, steamed. Mother said it's for Grandma Nine."
The crystal clear chicken soup with ginseng looks special, and its aroma and taste are even more appetizing.
Xu Zijin knew that his mother-in-law's skill in stewing chicken soup was indeed unique.
She took out a bowl and poured out half a bowl of food, then helped the old woman sit up, let her lean against the pillow, and prepared to feed her.
After drinking the Lingwan water and having a good sleep, Grandma Jiu's energy and spirit returned.
She reached out and took the chicken soup: "No need to feed me, I can do it."
The old man’s biggest problem right now is his broken calf, but everything else is fine, so Xu Zijin didn’t insist any more.
After drinking the chicken soup, Grandma Jiu also ate half a bowl of rice.
After finishing the meal, the old man wiped his mouth and said, "Your mother-in-law's cooking skills are getting better and better."
Xu Zijin also thought so.
Daughters-in-law in later generations all complained about their mothers-in-law, which she felt was unfair.
Some mothers-in-law are really bad, but most are very good people.
For example, her two mothers-in-law.
Although she cannot be said to be perfect, she is still considered a goddess among mothers-in-law.
"When you are discharged from the hospital, you can eat it every day."
When Grandma Jiu heard this, she just glanced at Xu Zijin, stammered, and finally said nothing.
Xu Zijin knew what she wanted to say.
But she really didn't dare let an old lady like her live in the village anymore.
It was not until Lu Yuzhu left that she said, "Grandma Jiu, I don't know how many treasures you have left."
"But what I want to say is that this kind of accident will not happen only once."
"Aunt Cuihua said this morning that after you got into trouble, people rushed in to watch the excitement and couldn't be driven away."
"It was not until she lost her temper and started swearing that those people left unwillingly."
"That is to say, they all think that you still have treasures hidden."
"So, it's too unsafe for you to live there anymore."
"Money is something outside of one's body. If you have more, it's just a number."
"Why don't you keep some of your old-age stuff and I'll sell the rest for you and put the money in the bank."
What does she need so much money for?
Granny Jiu knew that her life was saved by those few sips of medicine.
Without the maid's potion, it would be useless even if she lay on the money.
only……
"Girl, it's a pity to sell some things. I want to keep them for you as heirlooms. Do you have a place to put them?"
"Don't say no. I know the food you give me cannot be bought with money."
"Since you will provide for my retirement, why should I leave money for you?"
"Sell what can be sold, and keep the valuable ones to pass on to your children."
"You can have someone stay at my place for the next few days until I'm discharged from the hospital."
"The place where I hide things, no one can get in without me."
"But you have to find a good place to put it."
Does the old man agree to live with her?
Xu Zijin was happy, but at the same time she knew that the old man was really scared.
She would keep the things for now, but Xu Zijin had also thought about getting a safe for the old man when the time came.
Give her some cash in there so she can use it whenever she wants.
But she wanted to find a place to put it, and there must be not enough of it.
Xu Zijin nodded happily: "Grandma Jiu, don't worry, I have a place to put it."
