"Forget it. I'm too lazy to care about him now that I'm old." Old Master Lin looked at his grandson, Lin Kai. "I'm counting on Xiao Kai now. When he gets married, I should be able to have a great-grandson, or even a great-granddaughter."
Old Master Cheng smiled and shook his head. He was also thinking about Cheng Minglang, but he didn't know what these kids were thinking; they followed Yan Rushan, but didn't learn from Yan Rushan to catch a good wife early. Now other people have children, but his grandson is still a bachelor.
Old Master Yan shook his head and sighed silently. The descendants in his family had no hearts for their elders; they just kept sucking the blood of their elders and taking advantage of the glory that their elders had worked hard for for many years.
"I've told you all this, and you still don't like it. If it were me, I'd kick out the unworthy descendants. Don't give them any help with their connections, and let them fight for their own survival. You're all taking advantage of me and not even respecting me. Why don't you just go to heaven?"
"Alright, Old Yan." Old Master Cheng chuckled helplessly, "I know you're right. It makes sense. Old Lin has his own ideas. As I said before, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."
Old Master Yan pointed at them a few times and sneered, but he didn't say anything else to hurt their feelings.
On the second floor, in the bedroom of Zhong Yuxiu and Yan Rushan.
Feng Jianhong kept asking about her health for a while, and Zhong Yuxiu felt very uncomfortable. "I'm almost well now, don't worry."
"Are you feeling dizzy, breathless, tired, or heavy-hearted now?" Feng Jianhong is an experienced person after all, and his questions were questions of genuine concern.
"I'm fine. I don't feel dizzy, my breathing is steady, I'm not tired, and my body is relaxed." Thank you, but don't ask any more questions.
Feng Jianhong then smiled and said, "That's great, it means you took good care of yourself during the confinement period. After you finish the second confinement period, your body will definitely recover." If you develop a chronic illness during the confinement period, it will be a lifetime disease that cannot be cured.
"I don't do double confinement."
"Didn't the doctor say you were injured and needed to rest for two months?" Feng Jianhong looked at her lovingly and concernedly. "Are you bored?"
Zhong Yuxiu nodded. "It's really boring. I can't go out and walk. I'm stuck in the house all day long."
"You have to listen to the doctor's advice." Her face was gentle and her words were soft, as if she had endless patience with Zhong Yuxiu; she was completely different from the image she had in front of her son and daughter-in-law.
"I won't joke with my body. The potion I told you about earlier is due in January today, so you can take it tomorrow. This potion is very good for your body. When I have some free time, I'll prepare some for you too."
Feng Jianhong was surprised. "Is this the medicine you mentioned earlier that is good for the body?"
"right."
"But, does it really work?" Is there such a good medicine in this world? If it really existed, many people would have been spared from death in those years.
Zhong Jing also looked at her with concern, "How about we stay in confinement for the full two months? We don't know how effective the medicine is, but confinement is definitely the right thing to do."
People are always afraid of unknown things and stay away from them; Zhong Yuxiu said it was so good, but they had no idea about its effectiveness, so they felt uneasy and naturally couldn't rest assured.
Zhong Yuxiu's eyebrows moved, and she frowned slightly, then relaxed. "I developed this medicine, and I know its efficacy best. It has been clinically tested and is very effective. You can rest assured."
"Is that so?" Feng Jianhong and Zhong Jing were skeptical.
"Um."
Taking the opportunity to come down from the room, Feng Jianhong knew that she was interfering too much and relaxed, "That's fine. If you feel unwell, you must go to the hospital immediately."
"I know. When did you come? Rushan is hosting a banquet for his friends today, and grandpa is also hosting a banquet for his comrades. Have you seen them?" Zhong Yuxiu asked.
Zhong Jing said, "We've met downstairs. We'll be back soon, so we won't be having dinner here."
Zhong Yuxiu was stunned for a moment, then saw Feng Jianhong looking at Zhong Jing in surprise, and she realized that their plan before coming here was not to just take a look and leave.
"It's not too late to have a meal and then go back. It's lively with so many people."
"No, I have a lot of things to do at home. I came here to pay back the money. I also came to check on you and your grandson. We'll be relieved if you're all right." Zhong Jing placed the black cloth bag on the bedside table. "There's three thousand in it. When Comrade Yan comes up, have him count it and make sure it's correct."
Zhong Yuxiu shook her head slightly. "There's no need to take inventory, but how long have you borrowed it? Why are you returning it so soon?"
"We've made some money and paid back what we borrowed." Zhong Jing looked at his daughter and said, "Borrowing money always makes us nervous, but paying it back makes us feel at ease. We've been out and about these past few days, and it's been really rewarding. Selling clothes is easy to make, and in just a few days, we've earned over 8,000 yuan."
"That's great." Having made money, they felt confident. At least they had found a way to survive in Shangjing.
Zhong Jing looked at her awkwardly for several times, hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke, "We want to discuss something with you, Yuxiu, is it okay?"
Yuxiu asked in confusion, "What's the matter?"
"Well, we feel selling clothes on the street isn't a long-term solution. But we have limited money, so we don't know what to do. Since you're a college student, you're smart and have seen a lot, so I wanted to ask for your advice."
As soon as the old couple spoke, Zhong Yuxiu was surprised. They really treated her as their daughter. Whether it was because of business or their original intention, she felt a little regretful that the original owner did not grow up with them.
If she grew up with them, she wouldn't be in this body when she traveled through time, right?
As a result of a series of coincidences, they lost their biological daughter, who was taken away from the original owner; they, father and daughter, mother and daughter, never met again.
"What do you think?" His gaze fell on them, not missing any emotion in their eyes.
Feng Jianhong said, "We want to rent or buy a shop. Having a stable business is the most important thing. If we keep wandering around, we'll be like rootless duckweed."
Zhong Jing nodded in agreement.
The old couple looked calm, yet they were also worried and uneasy about the future. It was natural for them to feel uneasy when they had money but no assets to produce. In the countryside, they had land and a house, so what if they were poor and destitute? They had roots.
Zhong Yuxiu suddenly understood their intention. "In that case, you can buy two shops. The ones in good locations are expensive, and the ones in bad locations might not make money right now. If you trust me, buy a shop in the central area of the south city. That place will definitely appreciate in value over time."
"Value added?"
"Yes, appreciation means price increase; it's a guaranteed profit. If you don't want to do business anymore, you can rent it out or sell it. It's up to you." Faced with the two people's uneasy eyes, Zhong Yuxiu had an idea and made a suggestion, "You can buy a few more houses with the money you make. Even if you can't move in the future, you can still live on the rent."
Real estate will bring you guaranteed profits in the next few decades, and having two or three houses for retirement will not be a problem.
Zhong Jing lowered his eyes and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Then, will this happen again in the future?"
Repeating what?
Zhong Yuxiu was confused for a moment, but then she understood, "No, if the country wants to develop, it must focus on the economy."
