The drama in Shanghai is updated daily, and although she can't see it, Yuan Datou reports to her every little thing. Recently, she heard that Xue Fu has hooked up with a rich woman again and wants to live a more comfortable life, but he is reluctant to give up the savings account that his grandfather is going to give to his eldest sister for her eighteenth birthday. After all, no matter how much the rich woman gives, she can't possibly give 120,000, let alone two more 120,000s later.
The eldest sister told Fu Jing about this, but that coward Fu Jing didn't dare to cause trouble for the rich woman. Instead, she took her anger out on her mother-in-law at home every day. Xue Fu didn't get any better treatment either, and the whole family was in a mess every day.
Grandpa is about to give the savings book to my eldest sister. If he gives it to her, she has nothing to say. But if he gives it to Fu Jing, then she can't blame Fu Jing for being so quick. Fu Jing's family can survive, but they will have to live a difficult life.
It's been a long time since I've seen my grandma in Shanghai, and I really miss her. Zhu Fanfan can only stay close to her grandma, rubbing against her arm, wishing she could take her grandma with her. But she knows that the hospital needs her grandma more, so she can only stay by her grandma's side until she can buy a train ticket.
Zhu Jiabao was quite jealous. His granddaughter had never been so clingy to him, and his wife had never been so patient with him. When he was younger, if he dared to be so clingy to his wife, she would have slapped him long ago, complaining that he was a disgrace and that he was the head of the family, yet everyone had abandoned him.
Zhu Jiabao said resentfully, "Why don't you just stay here? Isn't it better to follow your grandma around like a shadow every day?"
To everyone's surprise, Zhu Fanfan thought for a moment and said, "That works too."
Liu Yumin laughed and scolded, "What do you mean 'can'? You only go to Sister-in-law Fuya's house for two months every summer vacation. We are busy all day long and don't have time to visit them. We already feel guilty. If you don't go, they will be so sad."
Zhu Fanfan knew about this, but for some reason, she just didn't want to leave this time. She really wanted to see her grandmother wherever she went.
Seeing that his wife was angry, Zhu Jiabao said, "Yes, yes, Fanfan, I've already called your grandparents. They'll be so disappointed if you don't go."
Zhu Fanfan pouted: "They won't be disappointed."
Now my grandparents are living a very comfortable life. I don't know what got into them, but my grandfather has become exceptionally open-minded. He no longer worries about his daughters' affairs. He goes to work and comes home every day, goes fishing, and drinks with a few old friends. My grandmother goes out with Sister Xu every day to listen to other people's gossip. When she has nothing to do, she makes pastries and embroiders at home. If she weren't sure that the two of them were the originals, she would have suspected that they had been swapped out.
Zhu Jiabao wanted to give Zhu Fanfan a long lecture, to let her know how good her grandparents were to her, and that she shouldn't be ungrateful. But when Zhu Fanfan saw that her grandfather's expression was off, she went upstairs and said she was going to pack her things.
Zhu Jiabao grumbled, still dissatisfied: "I'm not a monster, this girl is getting more and more disobedient."
Liu Yumin just smiled and said, "Forget it, let her have fun! Once my application is approved, I'll go find her, stay at Sister-in-law Fuya's house for a while, and then travel to the places I want to visit, so that I won't have any regrets in my life."
Zhu Jiabao stopped complaining about his granddaughter: "Daughter-in-law, I don't think it's good to keep this from the child. Why don't we tell her?"
Liu Yumin refused: "Don't tell her yet. Let's give her a surprise when the results come out and her application is approved."
Zhu Jiabao looked worried, but Liu Yumin laughed and said, "Don't look like that. It's not like we haven't been through life and death before. We're an old married couple. Aren't you ashamed? Come to the hospital sometime and I'll give you a full physical exam. We're getting old, and Fanfan still needs us to take care of him."
Zhu Jiabao suddenly said, "Yes, Fanfan still needs us to take care of him. You have to be strong."
Liu Yumin almost laughed in anger: "When have you ever seen me not strong? I'm going to go see how Fanfan's preparations are going."
His wife left, leaving Zhu Jiabao sighing; he was always the one being disliked in this family.
I wish Fanfan a safe journey. Remembering what her grandmother said to her before she left, I suddenly wanted to stay in Shanghai a little longer.
Because she had reached the advanced level in alchemy and had successfully refined pills multiple times without failure, maintaining the high quality, she had already been pre-booked by the Dragon Group. After some negotiation by her grandparents, they agreed to let her work as an unofficial employee with the same benefits and treatment as regular employees. However, she would not need to report to the Dragon Group or be forced to do tasks. Every day, she only needed to refine the required pills and have Xi Yan take them back.
However, she will probably have to spend most of her time in Beijing from now on, so she was granted special permission to stay in Shanghai for a longer period of time as a reward. This is considered her last period of freedom.
Zhu Fanfan now travels alone by car. She was originally supposed to be assigned a bodyguard, but she refused. She said she was skilled in martial arts and could protect herself. With someone accompanying her, it was uncertain who would protect whom. Later, with her grandfather's absolute guarantee, he agreed to let her travel alone.
The journey was smooth; she didn't encounter any of the extreme cases described in books, and arrived at her grandfather's house without any problems.
Seeing that her grandmother was discussing something with Sister Xu, and then seeing Fanfan return, she quickly pulled her over to share the gossip. There was no awkwardness at all, even though they hadn't seen each other for almost a year. Fanfan joined in the discussion with great interest.
After the discussion, Tan Fuya suddenly remembered: "You've been on the train all day, aren't you tired?"
Zhu Fanfan: ...You just remembered?
Sister Xu said, "Fanfan, a room has been prepared for you. Would you like to rest for a while? I'll cook you something delicious tonight."
She knew the Zhu family was well-off and would never let their children suffer. Fanfan wouldn't be like others who couldn't afford to buy a meal on the train. She would never deprive herself and would always eat. If she hadn't eaten, she would have been given a snack as soon as she entered the house.
Zhu Fanfan stretched and said, "I'm a little tired. I'm going to take a nap. Wake me up when it's time for dinner."
Sister Xu agreed and told her to go to the room herself, where everything was ready.
Zhu Fanfan went straight into her space to rest after arriving at her room. She was able to rest well in just a few minutes and was back to her energetic self a few minutes later.
Seeing that Zhu Fanfan only stayed for a short while before coming down, Tan Fuya and the other person didn't say anything. After all, Fanfan is active and would be fine after resting for a while unless he was really sleepy.
Zhu Fanfan asked, "When will Grandpa give my eldest sister a savings account?"
Tan Fuya said, "Tomorrow is your eldest sister's birthday. Your grandfather's idea is to let her have a good day tomorrow, come over for dinner in the evening, and give her the savings book."
Zhu Fanfan said worriedly, "Grandma, my eldest sister isn't doing well at the Xue family's house. Could we let her keep her own savings book? This money is enough for her to live comfortably on her own."
Tan Fuya shook her head: "I don't know how your grandfather arranged it. Your eldest sister won't suffer any losses. It depends on what your eldest sister wants to choose. Your grandfather will support her."
