"What medicine? If you take it, you won't have to wait for two months for the baby to be born."
"This medicine has not been widely promoted yet. It is very beneficial to the body and is very effective for the elderly and people with injuries. It is the latest product of research and is now being provided to meritorious people and their families. Grandpa kept his share for me. A mountain of other medicines is useless." She said half and kept the other half, but she told them clearly that the Yan family treated her very well.
Feng Jianhong and Zhong Jing felt a little relieved. "As long as they treat you well, that's fine. As for the medicine, we won't ask any more questions. We wouldn't understand the newly developed medicine even if we asked, so we won't ask."
"If you stay a little longer, I'll bring back a few more bottles after I finish my confinement. You can try them too," said Zhong Yuxiu.
Zhong Jing hurriedly shook his head, "How can we trouble you, grandpa? We don't need it. We are in good health, can eat and sleep well, and can work in the fields. We are not sick at all, so there is no need."
"Yes, we don't need it, don't bother."
Their first reaction was not to cause trouble for their daughter and always hoped that she would live a good life.
Zhong Yuxiu was touched and became more tolerant of them. "Don't worry, I can get it without bothering Grandpa to go out." She just prepared a few bottles, but could not tell anyone the source of the medicine.
"That's not necessary. You and your son-in-law should live a good life and don't think about us. We old couple have a family, we won't starve and we are warm. Our lives are getting better and better now, we have nothing to ask for." The daughter was found, lived a rich life, and was highly valued by her husband's family. This was enough.
"Don't push it. You can stay here for two months. It won't be too late to go back after you take the medicine. You can help me take care of the children. It's a bit difficult for two nannies to take care of three little kids." Zhong Yuxiu even found an excuse to let them stay.
Feng Jianhong was quite tempted, not for the medicine, but for her grandson.
Zhong Jing also wanted to stay a little longer, at least to spend more time with his grandson. But when he thought of home, he hesitated again. "No, we can't. Jiaquan and his wife are the only ones home. It's November now, and Jiaquan still has to go out to work for two months. We're worried about our family."
Zhong Yuxiu's thoughts turned back to her, and she remembered Zhong Jiaquan working on the construction site. "How much does he make per month?"
"About ten or twenty yuan, the salary is pretty good. It's more than two hundred yuan a year, enough for the family."
It costs more than 200 yuan a year, and the train ticket from Province C to Beijing costs dozens of yuan. The round trip is equivalent to more than half a year's salary for them. If it weren't for their daughter, they would not come here.
At this moment, Zhong Yuxiu softened her heart a little. Even though her family was so poor, she still didn't forget her daughter. The original owner was happy. She was loved by her family in the first half of her life. Although she was hurt and died, her biological parents loved her.
"Is he not working now?"
Zhong Jing shook his head. "He stayed home since he knew we were coming to Beijing. He can only go back to work after we return."
"So, have you considered letting him come to Beijing to work?" Zhong Yuxiu's heart softened because of their deep affection for their daughter. She wasn't soft-hearted with the Wan family, because, in their eyes, the original owner was just an adopted daughter who could be abandoned at any time. The Zhong family was different. No matter how hardship, no matter how tight the financial situation, they would never want to visit their daughter. If the Wan family were in their shoes, what would they do?
She couldn't guess, nor did she want to guess; it was enough for her to know that the Wan family could plot against her at any time. She was not the original owner, and she did not expect the love of her parents, so naturally she would not be led by them.
She will only give what she is willing to give and what she wants to give; otherwise, she will not give it even if you ask her.
Feng Jianhong was somewhat moved, but she also understood that her daughter had no feelings for them; she asked this question only because she felt their intentions, not because she had any brotherly or sisterly feelings towards the Zhong family. Therefore, she shook her head and refused on behalf of Zhong Jing.
"Jiaquan has no education or skills. What kind of job can he find in Beijing? The cost of living in Beijing is high. It's better to live in the countryside where the cost is lower. Forget it!"
Zhong Jing nodded in agreement. "In the countryside, we grow our own vegetables and farmland, so we don't have to worry about food. We can even sell some grain, chickens, ducks, and pigs every year. Life is much better than it was a few years ago. Yuxiu, you're a good child. We're happy that you're willing to support the family. But as his parents, we know how much he weighs, so we won't bother you."
They knew their own son well, and that was why they were even more afraid to cause trouble for their daughter.
"If you don't have a skill, you can learn it. If you don't have an academic degree, you can go to night school. Now the country encourages more reading and learning more knowledge, so he can learn it too." They were obviously tempted, but they knew their own limitations.
"Jiaquan is over 30 years old, can he still learn?"
Zhong Yuxiu nodded. "Sure. Learning never ends. There are night schools in the city, and it's easy to learn a trade. I'll arrange it for him based on what he wants to learn."
"He doesn't understand anything and is very stupid..."
"You just need to ask him if he is willing to develop in Beijing. It won't be a problem for me." There are many craftsmen, so it is very easy for her to arrange for someone to learn a craft. She has made few requests for her contributions over the years. Her grandfather told her to make requests to the higher-ups before, and now she just needs it.
Feng Jianhong hesitated, and Zhong Jing was also thinking, "Okay, let's write a letter and ask him."
"You don't have to write a letter. You can send a telegram. It takes at least a month to send a letter back. It takes too long, and you won't feel comfortable waiting. A telegram is faster."
"Telegrams are too expensive, one word costs seven cents; going to Beijing may be even more expensive." He felt sorry for the money.
Zhong Yuxiu smiled and said, "I'll ask Rushan to send him a telegram. You guys just leave it alone."
"Let's write a letter. Telegrams are not cost-effective..." Feng Jianhong felt distressed and was afraid of troubling her son-in-law too much.
"I'm a little tired. You go and see the kids first. I'll take a nap and can't talk to you anymore." Zhong Yuxiu felt a headache when she interrupted her. The living environment created huge differences in people's thinking.
Feng Jianhong opened her mouth, and Zhong Jing saw that she looked tired, so he said, "We'll go down first. You should have a good rest. I'll come see you this afternoon."
"good."
After watching them leave, Zhong Yuxiu lay down. After sitting for a while, she felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach. During the confinement period, one should not sit, stand or walk for a long time. Everything should be done in moderation.
The two walked downstairs. Old Master Yan looked up with a smile, and the smile between his brows deepened. "My in-laws are here. Come and sit down. Have you seen Yuxiu? Is she feeling better? I only heard about Yuxiu's condition from Dashan these days. I haven't even gone upstairs to take a look."
Feng Jianhong understood this. It was not appropriate for the man's grandfather to just go upstairs and into the couple's room. The old man had thought of everything carefully and had nothing to say about Yuxiu.
"Much better, her complexion is rosy, thanks to your good care. By the way, Yuxiu also told us that you saved all the medicine that was supposed to be used by you for her. You treat Yuxiu like your own granddaughter. The child's father and I are very grateful to you. Yuxiu suffered a lot, and when she was alone, it was you and your son-in-law who gave her a home."
