Chapter 422: Don’t Save. It’s Not Our Money
She seemed to have been on a non-stop streak for more than half a year.
First, she left home for the capital, and then she had to attend to patients when she came back. She was busy with the winery, the expansion, these and those.
It had been a long time since she could quietly spend some good time with her grandparents.
They never said a word and always understood her. They silently supported all her endeavors, but in fact, they were still despondent, right?
The little girl who was always around their knees when she was little had grown up.
Liu Yusheng grabbed her Grandma’s arm, thereby conveying her guilt and attachment.
The old lady smiled and reached out to pat her little face: “This child, how old are you, yet you’re still clinging to your grandmother.”
The people around picked up the topic just now and detailed Liu Yusheng’s daily busy schedule.
”During the New Year, a snowstorm struck. Within that period alone, Nannan never had a good rest. We watched as patients came wave after wave at the Lius’ doorstep. Fortunately, our Xinghua Village houses were solid and didn’t suffer from the disaster.”
”Our village is also fortunate to have Nannan in. Maybe Nannan is really our blessing. During the snowstorm, everyone in our village, the elderly and the kids, didn’t get sick. Otherwise, Nannan and Doctor Xue would have been even busier.”
”She’s almost turned into a spinning top. Didn’t you see how distressed Old Brother Liu and his wife were? Soon, Nannan will have to rush to the capital again, right? Zhixia will soon take the spring exams also. There’s really no time for her to stop all year round.”
”No, I’m afraid she’ll be leaving in a few days.” Grandma Liu sighed. Liu Yusheng hadn’t even left yet, but the sadness hit her. “It will take several months for her to come back next time.”
”Come on, Nannan is still at home. Why talk about this? Say a few more words and Nannan can not bear to go. Won’t that be delaying the child’s trip?” Grandpa Liu was beside her for comfort.
”You’re the only one with a big heart.” Grandma Liu gave him the eye.
”Big heart is a big heart. You, too, have a big heart. Do not get angry. Here, drink a cup of tea.” Grandpa Liu quickly took out the tea jar he carried in his arms, pulled the plug and handed it to her.
”Yo, Old Brother Liu, have you changed tea again? The taste is different from the last one.” Someone with a keen smell next to Grandpa Liu immediately exclaimed in surprise.
Grandpa Liu laughed boisterously, pretending to explain casually, “It’s a change of tea. Our Nannan gave me something she specially concocted. She said it’s ganoderma and ginseng tea or something. It will replenish your essence and vitality, and she said it can help turn your hair black, hahaha!”
The people nearby were so envious and jealous that their eyes reddened.
”Aigoo, Nannan is filial. Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng herbs are not cheap. A small piece in the pharmacy will cost several taels of silver!”
”This old man, what kind of tea is he drinking? A sip is equal to two pieces of silver!”
Grandpa Liu’s heart trembled upon hearing that.
The tea that their Nannan brewed for him was her intention, so he drank whatever she made. He had never really considered the cost before. Now that he thought about it, did a sip equal two silver coins?!
He had seen the ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum that Nannan had sliced. Weren’t they valuable goods seen in pharmacies?!
Aigoo, his heart hurt all over!
Grandma Liu had already sipped a mouthful of tea. When she heard the old guys nearby mentioning money, she almost choked on a breath.
And here they were, daring to boast about the tea they gulped down everyday; so it was costly!
Liu Yusheng’s temples spasmed. She watched as her grandparents face wrinkled from this information, unable to bring themselves to mention something.
What chitchat? They’re probably counting the silver…
Could her grandparents dare to drink whatever tea she brewed next time, huh?
”Grandpa, Grandma, I retrieved those herbs from Xue Qinglian. He is a divine doctor in Jianghu, and he has traveled all over the world. He has many good medicinal materials. Let’s not save it. It’s not our money,” Liu Yusheng lied solemnly.
”Are the herbs from that kid, Qinglian?”
Liu Yusheng nodded emphatically.
The two elders breathed a sigh of relief, and their faces relaxed.
Grandma Liu even patted her chest: “Then I’m relieved. This old lady was really scared just now.”
A bunch of elders around rolled their eyes in unison.
Blunt were those involved.
The elder Liu couple were really easily duped in front of Nannan. Couldn’t they see that the corners of Nannan’s mouth were twitching?
The two old guys were holding silver in their hands that was enough to buy the next village, but they still felt distressed for that little tea money.
Money Grubbers.
They were really money grubbers.
Regardless of how money-mad they were, whenever they had some goodies, they would inevitably share them under the ancient acacia tree.
Grandpa Liu showed off only for a moment and was almost robbed. In the end, he almost couldn’t keep his teapot.
He was so angry that he almost jumped to his feet.
Although his tea jar was bought in a stall, that was also something that Xiao Jinzi bought. He spent several taels of silver for it!
On the way back, he carried his own stool and also cursed endlessly, “These old geezers, they rob things like bandits. It’s only been a while, but they have learned to use brute force as the Xiapo villagers!”
Liu Yusheng drew her ruffian hands back and walked slowly behind him, pursing her mouth in delight while listening to the old man’s angry curses. ”Elder Master, Elder Madam, Nannan, I’ve received a letter from the capital.” Just after they entered the house, Wei Hong dutifully came to report and took out a piece of letter.
Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu craned their necks to look at the words on the paper, but they could only read the shape. “Is it a letter from Axiu urging our Nannan to go to the capital?”
”That brat. How long has it been since Nannan came back? What’s the hurry? Doesn’t he know how to eat and dress without Nannan?”
Liu Yusheng coughed lightly: “Grandpa, Grandma, it’s a letter from Elder Brother.”
While the two old men were in a daze, she smiled mysteriously: “It’s good news!”
Zhixia’s letter? What kind of good news did he have at this time?
The spring exams had not yet begun, and the top examination results were also a little too early.
”Father, Mother, come to the hall. I’ll read you the letter. It’s a letter from Elder Brother. It’s good news!” Liu Yusheng yelled as she walked towards the hall, hooking her arms around the two elders.
The eyebrows were arched in an extremely pleasant smile.
”Nannan, what’s the good news? Talk about it first, don’t keep us hanging!” Grandma Liu was anxious when she saw her smile.
”Grandma, don’t worry, I’ll read it to you later when everyone’s here. I guarantee you’ll be happy!”
Liu Dalin came out of the house, and Chen Xiulan also rushed over from the vegetable patch behind the house. Whenever there was a letter from the family and a big event was announced, Nannan was like this. She had to call everyone from their rooms and read the letter to them. Everyone was used to her little problem.
It was the time when the sun was setting at noon, so the family was all there. It wasn’t time to eat, so the family sat down instantly to listen together.
”Nannan, everyone’s here. Quickly read it!”
Grandma Liu urged with eyes wide open and heart racing a bit.
She vaguely guessed what was in the letter, but she couldn’t be sure.
When it came to the two boys in the family, she dared not put her hopes in that direction.
”Grandparents, parents, Uncle and Aunt, the letter says, ‘I want to propose to Yuzheng, so I’m sorry to bother mother and father. Please come to the capital and help your son propose marriage. Waiting for your arrival in the capital, Xia.'”
It was a short letter, simple and concise.
Liu Yuzheng finished reading, but the family still couldn’t return to their senses.
