Chapter 377: Chapter 377: Don’t Want to Burden the Grandson and Granddaughter

"Aunt Fang, it’s me, I’ve come to see you," Mrs. Zhao said as soon as she entered the room and sat down, greeting Grandma Fang who lay in bed.

Grandma Fang was frail but still propped herself up to look at the visitor.

"Shitou’s mother..."

Zhao Tianlei was called Xiao Shitou, so sometimes people called the team leader’s wife Shitou’s mother, as well as Aunt Da Hai and Xiangzi’s mother.

"Auntie, please lie down, just stay lying down," Mrs. Zhao hurried to stop her when she saw her struggling to get up, insisting she not stand.

"Auntie, you probably guessed it, it’s Xiao Yang and Xiao Yun who asked me to come over and talk you into it. They only have you as a relative, if you leave, what are they going to do?"

"Shitou’s mother, these past few years Shitou has taken care of us all. Otherwise, our days would have been... cough cough... unbearable."

Her grandson was weak and her granddaughter still young; she worked but didn’t earn many work points.

It was only because the team saw their plight, with the old being old and the young being young, they let her feed the pigs, the children gathered pigweed, plus the two grandkids’ elderly grain rations, that they managed to survive those hardest years.

"Last year Xiao Yang started making money with Laosan from our house, I heard that now the economy is open, as long as you leave home you can make money. Cao Dali took his wife this time to the Capital City, as did my nephew and niece."

Grandma Fang seemed to have heard this.

If not for her holding them back, her grandson would also have gone out to make money by now.

"Auntie, life has gotten better now, don’t you want to see Xiao Yang get married and add a great-grandson for you, don’t you want to see Xiao Yun married off? If you leave, what will happen to them, brother and sister?"

Mrs. Zhao said this to persuade Grandma Fang to desire life, not to seek death wholeheartedly.

Fang Chaoyang and Fang Meiyun, brother and sister, were pitiable enough already.

At such a young age, they had lost their parents.

Their uncles despised them, and their maternal relatives simply didn’t associate with them.

"Shitou’s mother, my illness is going to cost a lot of money. Xiao Yang works so hard to make money, I have to save it up for him to find a wife," Grandma Fang’s eyes reddened as she spoke weakly.

What about debts?

Her grandson had reached this age without marrying, wasn’t it all because they were poor and couldn’t afford it?

"Grandma, I earned quite a bit last year, a lot," Fang Chaoyang had been standing at the door listening, and when he heard his grandma say she wanted to save for his marriage, he could no longer hold back and pushed the door open to speak.

"Since there’s money, send her to the county town hospital to get checked out earlier..."

Mrs. Zhao said more about how pitiful Fang Chaoyang and his sister would be if she left, both unloved and alone, to finally convince Grandma Fang.

However, she still said that if it was a serious illness, they wouldn’t seek treatment.

Over in the Capital City.

As soon as Yun Xiaoxiao finished her class, she headed straight for the shop.

After all, Zhang Lanhua and Zhao Xinxin were still new to this.

They had just been trained yesterday and were anxiously starting work today.

And their speech carried an accent; she worried that some of the locals in the Capital City spoke too fast for them to understand.

She wanted them to learn some Mandarin.

"Sister-in-law..."

"Sister-in-law..."

Seeing that Cao Dali and Zhao Tianhe were not in the shop, and there weren’t many people around today.

"We sold quite a few hairbands and socks today." These two items were special bargains and very affordable.

They also helped to sell other merchandise.

"It gets dark early, I’ll prepare a flashlight for you, and you can close up at five o’clock."

Does it get dark early?

"After these three days, I’m also planning to bring in more stock."
