If she knew about such a large sum of money, she would definitely try every means to get it into her hands. However, even so, she would not be willing to pay for Lele and the others to go to school.
Rather than causing unrest at home later, it's better not to let her know in the first place, so he won't have to worry about the children going to school.
As for his wife, Liu Weisong didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, that money was enough to make their two children live a more comfortable life.
His wife was unwilling to use the money to support their schooling, and she was even reluctant to spend it on treating his leg. His heart wasn't made of iron, and he was naturally heartbroken by his wife's actions.
He used to think that his wife was just a little biased, but generally good, and that he could earn money himself and sometimes help the children out privately.
But even if his leg is healed now, the doctor will still have some issues. So although he is confident that he can still earn money to support his family and secretly subsidize his children, he doesn't want them to suffer.
In particular, the ginseng was picked by Lele herself in the mountains, so it's only right that the money stays with her.
Liu Shile had been observing her father and realized that he didn't mean to back down when he said those words, which made her feel relieved.
It was worth the long journey she took to bring her father to treat his leg injury. If before she only wanted to add another laborer to the family, now she had a deeper meaning.
She decided that no matter what, she would treat her father better from now on. With her father around, things wouldn't get chaotic. As for her stepmother, as long as she didn't go too far, she would just pretend she didn't see it.
She lacked nothing, and as long as she could spend money or supplies to give herself peace and quiet, she thought it was a good deal.
Seeing his daughter remain silent for a long time, Liu Weisong sighed inwardly. The children are all good; even at this point, they haven't thought about keeping the money in their own hands.
Thinking of his wife's selfishness, he hardened his heart and said seriously, "Lele, this time you must listen to your father. We can't tell your mother about this money, understand?"
After thinking for a moment, worried that the matter would be exposed, he added, "Here's what you'll do: don't tell anyone, not even your older sister or brother, lest they let it slip. As for me, don't worry, I will never tell anyone."
Well, Liu Shile looked at her serious-looking father and almost laughed. It must have been difficult for her father, who always gave in to his wife. He must have had a hard time making this decision.
However, since it was her father's good intention, she naturally wouldn't be polite. With a serious and earnest expression, she said, "Okay, I'll listen to Dad."
Seeing his daughter say this, Liu Weisong finally breathed a sigh of relief and then brought up the matter of being discharged from the hospital. He really didn't want to stay in the hospital for even a second longer.
Helpless, Liu Shile could only let him eat first, and then she went to find Dr. Zhou. Dr. Zhou thought that the father and daughter had discussed it and decided to stay at his house, but unexpectedly, the girl refused.
Before he could say anything, the girl told him about their amazing adventure. They had been lucky enough to get a ginseng root of considerable age, which they exchanged for some money so they could find a place to stay.
To prove that the kind and responsible Dr. Zhou wouldn't believe her, Liu Shile even proved it. Dr. Zhou was both amused and exasperated when he saw the money wrapped in the little girl's handkerchief.
However, this put his mind at ease, and he readily approved their discharge. He had a good impression of the little girl, and since the father and daughter would not leave and had no worries, he naturally would not stop them from leaving the hospital.
These past few days, Liu Weisong has been hospitalized and had surgery, which cost a total of 68.65 yuan. He also spent more than 15 yuan on living expenses and daily necessities, not to mention transportation costs.
If they could go home after being discharged from the hospital, the money Liu Shile brought would be more than enough. However, they still needed to stay in the capital for a while longer.
Well, what Liu Weisong didn't know was that this was just the amount his daughter had told him about the expenses, not the actual cost. Liu Shile wasn't the type to compromise herself, and this amount of money wasn't enough for her expenses.
After leaving the hospital, the father and daughter didn't wander around. Liu Shile found the nearest guesthouse and booked two rooms to settle down.
"Dad, how about I take you out to see the capital tomorrow? We're already here, it would be a shame not to go out and see it." Liu Shile couldn't stay idle, and as soon as she had some free time, she started thinking about these things.
The capital city is a place that many people dream of visiting in their lifetime. Liu Weisong had also thought countless times about visiting the capital to see the great figures of the past.
Previously, Liu Weisong had been preoccupied with his leg and had no other thoughts but worrying about wasting money. Now, hearing his daughter talk about it, his eyes lit up immediately.
After a short while, the light in his eyes dimmed, and he shook his head and refused, saying, "No, go see for yourself. Dad will wait for you here."
If he were healthy, he would definitely go out with his child to see the capital city he has longed to visit. But given his current condition, going out would only cause trouble for his child, so let's forget about it.
Liu Shile didn't expect her father to refuse this time either. She hadn't missed the light in her father's eyes just now. He clearly wanted to go but insisted on refusing. Why?
Liu Shile immediately understood and showed a displeased expression. "Dad, if you're not going, I'm not going either. It's no fun being alone."
As she spoke, she wore an expression of longing yet restraint, and a hint of girlish stubbornness.
Looking at his daughter like this, Liu Weisong felt bad. He thought that it was a rare opportunity for his child to come out, and he had to spoil the fun. He felt really bad.
My heart softened, and I blurted out, "If Lele wants to go, then Dad will go with you. It's a rare trip, so we have to go and see it. Like you said, we can't leave empty-handed."
Liu Shile immediately smiled and said quickly, "Dad, that's great! Let's go out and play tomorrow. Where do you want to go, Dad?"
She herself didn't really care much about this place, and it didn't matter whether she went or not, but she knew how much her father, or more accurately, how much the general public revered great people.
It's no exaggeration to say that 99 percent of the people in this world, in this G family, would be willing to die for a great man, regardless of gender or age.
Upon hearing his daughter's question, Liu Weisong replied without hesitation, "I want to go to Tianamen to take a look. I heard there are portraits of great men there."
Actually, portraits of great men can be found everywhere. He just wanted to be closer to them. If he could, he would also like to see the military parade, but unfortunately, he doesn't have that privilege.
Whenever he thinks of the military parade, he thinks of his eldest son, wondering if that child is still alive.
Sometimes, he resented that child, who had joined the army on the spot and had been gone for many years, returning home less than a handful of times in all those years.
It's pitiful that he hasn't even gotten married yet, and he's already lost contact with his family. He doesn't want anything to happen to his son, but he's helpless; the initiative isn't in his hands.
