After Zhou's father left, Zhou Mingqian looked at Shen Banxia and said, "Wife, you must always be well."
"good".
Soon it was time for Grandpa and Grandma Shen to arrive. Shen Banxia wanted to go see them, but now they had to go to the cowshed. Thanks to Su Yu's care, the villagers didn't criticize them.
After finally waiting for nightfall and everyone to fall asleep, Shen Banxia once again wrapped herself up like a ball and finally saw her grandparents.
For a moment, Shen Banxia looked greedily at her grandparents, whose hair had turned completely white. She wanted to say something, but her throat felt blocked. She could only hold her grandmother's hand tightly, and tears fell silently.
Grandma Shen, her skinny hands gripping her granddaughter's hand, was also sobbing uncontrollably. Afraid of being overheard by outsiders, she tightly covered her mouth with her other hand, afraid of letting out even a sound.
After the two of them calmed down, they said, "Grandma, Grandpa, you've suffered so much."
The two elderly people shook their heads slightly, looking at Shen Banxia, who was already showing signs of pregnancy. The grandmother hugged Shen Banxia and said, "Child, it is already a blessing to be alive to see you. My little Banxia will soon be a mother. Time flies so fast."
Shen Banxia nestled in her grandmother's arms, and her restless heart finally found peace.
After expressing her longing, Shen Banxia carefully presented the medical book, "Grandpa, this is the second half of 'The Thirteen Deadly Needles'."
Grandpa Shen accepted it with great care, tears streaming down his face. "Good, good, good, Banxia, Grandpa is finally no longer ashamed of our ancestors. Keep it safe. From now on, it's all yours."
Shen Banxia knew that her family had produced imperial physicians in the past. Although her grandfather had taught her a lot about traditional Chinese medicine, he hadn't taught her much about the core aspects.
Even the first three needles of the "Thirteen Deadly Needles" were actually learned by himself after seeing his grandfather's story, but when his grandfather found out, he got very angry.
That was the first time she had ever seen her grandfather lose his temper. At that time, Shen Banxia, who was still young, did not understand why, so she directly asked him why.
Grandpa only said four words at the time, "You are a girl."
At that time, Shen Banxia understood that although her grandfather liked her, he did not regard her as his successor.
Even though she showed talent in acupuncture, her grandfather still refused to teach her.
But after learning the first three acupuncture techniques, Shen Banxia understood why someone was secretly watching them.
While the claim of taking someone's life from the King of Hell is an exaggeration, it's not hard to see the brilliance of this acupuncture technique.
But now...
"Banxia, in the past, your grandfather was stuck in his ways, thinking only of passing on the family tradition to sons, not daughters. But the world has changed. Your father, that man..." Grandpa Shen didn't want to say more, and now his granddaughter had suffered the loss. "From now on, you will be the successor of the Shen family." After saying that, he took out a roll of cloth. "This is the first half. From now on, you will set aside time every day to come and learn from me."
“Okay,” Shen Banxia said, accepting the gift with great care.
Grandma Shen wiped away her tears. It's good that the old man has finally come to his senses.
She had always known that the old man still held hope for that unfilial son, but why didn't he consider that if it weren't for that unfilial son, the two of them wouldn't have ended up in this situation?
In any case, the old man has taken on so many apprentices, many of whom have already taken on important positions, so taking care of the old couple shouldn't be a problem.
But...
Thinking of that unfilial son, Grandma Shen wondered if she and her husband had neglected him too much when they were young, leaving him to be cared for by a nanny all the time, which was why…
However, Banxia's mother also grew up in the same way, but she did not turn out badly.
Sigh, Grandma Shen feels a pang of heartache whenever she thinks about the past.
Shen Banxia quickly helped her up, "Grandma, your heart condition..."
Grandma Shen waved her hand, "I'm fine. I'm just happy to see that your grandfather has come to his senses."
Grandpa Shen stubbornly insisted, "I've already figured it out, it's just that I haven't had the chance yet."
Grandma snorted.
Seeing that they could still bicker, Shen Banxia finally felt relieved.
Zhou Mingqian laid out the things he had brought; they were all patched and inconspicuous.
The inside was filled with new cotton, and the vest was also made of new cotton.
But the outside was covered with patches and deliberately aged.
Grandma Shen nodded, but Grandpa Shen snorted coldly.
After a brief introduction, Grandma Shen urged Shen Banxia and her husband, "Alright, you've arranged everything so well, hurry back. It's not good if others see this. You know, there have always been people secretly watching us. Even though we've been transferred here, there's no guarantee that someone won't find out about us."
"Grandma, is it because of the medical books at home?"
Grandma Shen nodded. "That's not all. But now that Banxia has a child, there are some things we should leave unsaid for now."
Even after returning home, Shen Banxia was still unable to calm down for a long time.
Meanwhile, at the Zhou family's home, Zhou's father couldn't help but shudder at the thought of what Zhou Mingqian had said.
They were able to find out about something that happened so long ago.
They really underestimated that brat. For so many years, they deliberately ignored him and spoiled him. And what was the result?
Just because someone marries a wife, can a person change so much?
If I had known it would turn out like this, I should have asked my wife to stop me in the first place.
Mr. Zhou tossed and turned like a pancake, disturbing Mr. Zhou's sleep, especially as the weather grew colder and the quilt, which had been used for many years, felt increasingly cold.
"Old man, do you think we should go and buy some cotton?"
"Where can I find these items?"
“Looking for the eldest son,” Zhou’s mother said matter-of-factly.
"Hmph, that brat has grown wings now and doesn't listen to me at all. Moreover, he even found out about the past. Now he's telling me to shut up and not to go looking for him anymore. Also, keep an eye on Mingjiao and make sure she doesn't go looking for those two anymore." As he said this, Zhou's father was clenching his teeth.
He was proud of himself for always having the boss firmly under his control, but now it seemed that things were not as he had imagined.
I wonder what those two old geezers taught us back then.
Even though he passed away a long time ago, how come he still has such a big impact?
If he had known this would happen, he should have acted sooner; now it's all too late.
Zhou's mother panicked, "This, how can this be? If we don't go to them, then in the future...", how can we still get any benefits?
Because Zhou's father had a strong grip, the rest of his words were swallowed.
He couldn't help but curse inwardly, thinking that if he had known it would turn out like this, he should have just thrown him into the mountains to be fed to the wolves when he was little.
As she thought about it, her words were filled with resentment, "It's all your fault, you didn't tell me the truth back then," she said, adding that she had raised him like her own son.
Mr. Zhou didn't say anything, but Mrs. Zhou was still unwilling to give up. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Why don't we call my mother over?"
“Okay,” Zhou’s father thought, “this is also a solution.”
