101 Don’t Worry About Money
“Does the Gu family treat you well?” Huang Jun asked.
“Uncle, why are you asking this?” Gu Man looked at Huang Jun’s clearly relieved expression, but his words were for confirmation.
Huang Jun seemed to be reminiscing and said slowly, “When you were very young, we once wanted you to go back to the Gu Family. After all, the conditions for studying in the city were better. But Gu Yuan picked you up and threw you into the countryside in the blink of an eye. We could tell at a glance that Gu Yuan didn’t want you to go back to the Gu Family. In addition, they haven’t cared about you for the past ten years, we thought… But looking at you now, you look much better than when you were at the Huang Family. If we had known earlier, we would have let you go back earlier…”
“Uncle, don’t think like that. I’m fine now.” Gu Man had no impression of this memory. It should be her original self rejecting this memory. “We can’t delay Grandma’s condition. I’ll find a house when I get back. I’ll pick you up after I’m done.”
Gu Man did not give Huang Jun a chance to refuse and made her decision.
Huang Jun looked at Gu Man’s firm words and immediately lost his idea. He could only nod. He had always thought too much and dawdled too long on important matters. He did not dare to take a step forward easily. Now that someone had made the decision for him, he felt relieved.
Seeing that Huang Jun agreed, Gu Man heaved a sigh of relief.
“By the way, Cousin Huang Jue is about to graduate from junior high, right?” Gu Man asked again.
“He’s already in the third year of junior high this year. His studies are tight and he doesn’t even go home on the weekends. This kid’s studies are not bad. He even got second place in the last mock exam.” Huang Jun immediately became proud when he mentioned his son.
“Has Cousin thought about which high school he wants to go to?”
“His target is Han City First High.”
When Gu Man heard this, she couldn’t help but smile. “Then he’ll be my junior in the future. It’s a pity that I’ll graduate this year. After you guys leave Han City, Cousin Huang Jue can stay in Han City during the holidays and adapt to life in the big city. In the future, when he gets into high school in Han City, it won’t affect his studies.”
Hearing Gu Man’s words, Huang Jun immediately felt that there was hope.
Actually, he had been anxious. He was afraid that Huang Jue would not be able to adapt to life in Han City alone in the future.
Huang Jun asked again, “How’re your studies now? Are you nervous?”
“It’s fine.”
“Then you have to hurry up and revise your homework. You have to ask the teacher in time if you don’t understand…”
Seeing that Huang Jun’s instructions were endless, Gu Man quickly said, “Okay, I understand.”
For a moment, seeing that there was nothing that needed to be instructed, Huang Jun said, “I’ll go see if your grandmother is done picking vegetables.”
When she was cooking, the old lady was afraid that Gu Man would not be full. She quickly removed the smoked meat hanging above the stove and stir-fried it. Then, she went to the fish pond to fish out a grass carp to steam and deep-fried a squab that she had raised at home. Of course, she did not forget to add snow bean sprouts to eggs that an old hen had laid to make a big bowl of soup.
These were all Gu Man’s favorites in the past. Now that she ate them, they were still very flavorful. They were not inferior to the dishes that cost tens of thousands of yuan.
Seeing that Gu Man said that it was delicious, the old lady was so happy that one could not see her eyes.
As the old man helped Gu Man pick up the food, he said, “If it’s delicious, eat more. You’ll look better if you get fatter.”
After the meal, Gu Man held the old lady’s hand. “Grandma, I’ve agreed with Uncle that I’ll bring you to Han City for treatment in a while.”
“I’m not sick. Don’t listen to your uncle.” The old lady glared at Huang Jun.
“Grandma, stop hiding it from me. I know everything.”
Gu Man actually wanted to say that she already had such a guess when she received the call. Otherwise, with her grandmother’s personality, she would not have called.
It was nothing more than the old lady wanting to talk to Gu Man. If possible, she wanted to see Gu Man for the last time.
“Sigh, I’m old and have many problems. I’m already over 70 years old. How many more years can I live? Why implicate you juniors? Huang Jue still has to go to high school…”
“Grandma, don’t worry. I’ll handle the finances.” Gu Man interrupted the old lady.
“But…”
“Grandma, I still want you to watch me go to university, go out to work, and start a family, so you have to promise me that you’ll rest well.”
Hearing Gu Man’s words, the old lady agreed with tears in her eyes.
