Yang Xiaobei returned to Jiangjia Village, found Jiang He, and handed him the letter written by Jiang Shushu. "Grandpa Jiang, I went to visit a friend today and ran into Comrade Jiang on the way. Comrade Jiang asked me about your and Grandma Jiang's health. I told him about Li Chunyan saving Grandma Jiang. Then Comrade Jiang asked me to bring a letter to you and said she would be on leave and going home tomorrow."
Jiang He took the letter and said, "Thank you, Xiao Yang, for bringing it to me from so far away."
"You're welcome, just by the way." Yang Xiaobei didn't know what Jiang Shushu had written in the letter, so he couldn't help but remind him, "Grandpa Jiang, Li Zhiqing has been making a lot of noise at night lately. The three female Zhiqing in the same room have been awake for two whole nights. If this continues, I think the three female Zhiqing will be unable to bear it and will definitely not be able to live under the same roof anymore." So you'd better make plans as soon as possible.
Jiang He understood what Yang Xiaobei said, "Thank you, Xiao Yang, for telling me this. Grandpa Jiang will treat you to a meal some other day."
…
If Li Chunyan can no longer live in the educated youth camp, it is estimated that she will be allowed to live in her own home in terms of emotion, reason and conditions.
Jiang He felt very unhappy when he thought that Li Chunyan was going to live in his house and live under the same roof with her. Jiang He didn't like Li Chunyan from the bottom of his heart and didn't want to have too much contact with her.
How should I refuse? But I have no right to refuse. It's because of my wife that I got hurt. If Li Chunyan has no place to live and no one to take care of her, if I turn Li Chunyan away, people outside will say I'm ungrateful.
Jiang He was worried! He thought and thought, but still couldn't come up with any good ideas. Suddenly, he glanced at the letter in his hand and couldn't help but laugh. "I was so engrossed in thinking that I forgot about my daughter's letter. My daughter knows about Li Chunyan's situation. Maybe she can do something? My daughter's brain is much better than mine."
Jiang He opened the letter and there were only a few simple words on it.
Dad, ask Mom to pretend to be sick and not let Li Chunyan live at home. Pay my eldest cousin to find someone to take care of Li Chunyan. I will be home tomorrow.
Jiang He smiled after reading the letter. "As expected of my daughter, she's smart. Why didn't I think of that just now? It's just the two of us at home. If my wife gets sick, Li Chunyan won't be able to move in. First, there's no one to take care of her, and second, it's inconvenient. If it can be solved with a little money, then of course I'll do it. Li Chunyan is not a pushover. I'm not willing to live under the same roof with her and even eat at the same table with her."
Jiang He put the letter away and immediately found Xu Hehua who was making lunch in the kitchen.
"Old man, what's written in the letter?"
"Nothing. I heard about Li Chunyan's situation and wrote to express my concern for us. I also said she would be home tomorrow."
Xu Hehua was very happy when she heard that Jiang Shushu was back, "Then I will make soup for Shushu tomorrow."
Jiang He: "..." I guess the soup can't be stewed. You have to lie down and rest tomorrow, and you have to lie down and rest for the next few days.
"Put the stew aside for now. Let me tell you something. Li Chunyan is making quite a fuss at the educated youth camp right now. I think she wants to come to our house to recuperate, but I don't want her to come."
Xu Hehua: "I don't want outsiders to come to our home either, but in this situation, it's not a question of whether we want to come or not. What if Li Chunyan insists on coming? We can't stop her. After all, everyone in the brigade knows that she broke her leg saving me. I have the obligation and responsibility to take care of her."
"So I need your cooperation. From now on, you have to pretend to be sick. We are the only two living at home now. If you are sick, it will definitely be inconvenient for Li Chunyan to come home. After all, there is no one to take care of her."
"No, no, if I get sick, what will happen to Li Chunyan? We can't just ignore her, right? She has a broken leg now, and someone needs to take care of her."
"I've already thought of this. You can just lie down in bed and rest. I'll go find Mingwen and tell him you're sick and can't take care of Li Chunyan anymore. It's not convenient for a grown man like me to take care of her. Then I'll give Mingwen 15 yuan a month and ask him to find someone in the brigade to take care of Li Chunyan. We'll just have to pay for her medical expenses, labor, and food. Then, we'll just make some meat soup for Li Chunyan every ten days or half a month."
"Old man, is 15 yuan a month too much? How about..." I'd better take care of it myself.
Jiang He knew what Xu Hehua was about to say from her expression and quickly interrupted her. "I don't think Li Chunyan is a decent person. I don't want to live under the same roof with her, lest something happens in the future and I regret it too late. You know there's a lot of noise going on outside right now, so we need to eliminate all possible dangers. Let's just consider it a loss to ward off disaster. It's only 45 yuan at most. If we're not careful, we might lose more than 45 yuan and even our daughter's job."
When Xu Hehua heard that the situation was so serious, she no longer cared about the money. She nodded and said, "Old man, I'll listen to you. Let's pay someone to take care of Li Chunyan. I won't go out these few days and will rest at home."
Jiang He took Li Chunyan's lunch and went out. He first went to find Jiang Mingwen and explained his purpose.
Jiang Mingwen: "..." This morning, when I saw Aunt Wu, she was rosy-cheeked and full of energy. How could she be sick just a few hours later? You're teasing me. Did Uncle Wu get the news from somewhere? Zhao Guihua from the Youth Farm wants to send Li Chunyan to his house and have Aunt Wu take care of her until she recovers.
Forget it, I'll just see it and not say it out loud. Since my fifth uncle and aunt don't want Li Chunyan to live at home, then she can just not live there. Anyway, with the 15 yuan, there are plenty of people vying to take care of Li Chunyan.
Jiang Mingwen took the 15 yuan and said, "Uncle Wu, don't worry. I will make the arrangements. Just deliver lunch to Li Zhiqing and someone will take care of her. Let Aunt Wu stay home and recuperate."
Jiang He smiled awkwardly, "Your Fifth Aunt's illness is caused by fatigue. As she gets older, she has some issues. She can't stand being tired. She'll be fine after a few days of rest."
When Yang Xiaobei saw Jiang He coming to the educated youth camp, he immediately stood up to greet him, "Grandpa Jiang, you're here. Why are you the one delivering the meal?"
Jiang He sighed, "Your grandmother Jiang is ill and is now resting in bed. She can't get up to bring food to Li Zhiqing, so I brought it here."
Yang Xiaobei: "..." Sick, how is that possible? Jiang Shushu, it must have been Jiang Shushu's idea. As long as Xu Hehua fell ill, it would be basically impossible for Li Chunyan to live in the Jiang family.
Yang Xiaobei immediately cooperated with Jiang Shu and raised his voice so that the people at the educated youth camp could hear him. "Grandma Jiang is sick. Is it serious?"
When Zhao Guihua heard that Xu Hehua was sick, she ran out of the room immediately in a hurry.
Why did she get sick at this critical moment when she didn’t get sick earlier or later? Who will take care of Li Chunyan?
