After I was in debt of one million, I opened a factory in the 1990s

Chapter 582: Filial Piety

Yao Junhua wanted to laugh when he heard this. Buying a garage for his parents to live in, what a filial son!

Zhang Fengming asked, "I told him you were in the hospital and he didn't even come. Do you think you can count on him to take care of you in your old age?"

Yao Junhua turned around and said, "Mr. Zhang, my elder sister is not feeling well, so don't blame her. Let's go to the hospital for a thorough checkup. We can talk about these things after my elder sister gets better."

Aunt Zhang's voice was trembling. "Sister, I'm fine. There's no need to go to the hospital and spend money. Let's go back."

"Sister, don't let your imagination run wild. Now that we're here, let's get a thorough checkup," Yao Junhua advised. "It's better to spend money to buy peace of mind."

Aunt Zhang was taken by Yao Junhua and colleagues from the factory to undergo a comprehensive check-up from head to toe. All indicators were extremely normal, and she did not even have any common diseases that the elderly have.

Aunt Zhang was crying outside the hospital holding the test results.

This whole thing cost more than a thousand yuan, which was her monthly salary. In addition, she borrowed nearly three thousand yuan. With her current salary, half a year's work would have been in vain.

After crying, Aunt Zhang started to curse again, scolding Zhang Heng for being ungrateful, scolding God for being blind, and scolding herself for having a miserable life and not being able to have a child.
The hospital is a place that witnesses life and death, and sees the most human suffering. Some people cry here, some make noises here, some laugh here, and some even jump off buildings here. No matter what they do, it is not uncommon. Aunt Zhang would cry or curse loudly, and people passing by would just turn their heads and take a look, and then walk away.
Yao Junhua later told Cui Changjia about Aunt Zhang. Cui Changjia said that the reason Aunt Zhang was crying was because she was unwilling and unable to accept her fate, or perhaps she still had expectations for Zhang Heng.

Yao Junhua said to Cui Changjia, "We have to make Sister Zhang give up, otherwise Zhang Heng will give her another sweet treat and she will come back."

Cui Changjia said, "It's easy. Let Aunt Zhang stop working for now and tell her that Uncle Zhang and she had a fight because of giving money to Zhang Heng. Now she has no place to live and no money, so she has no choice but to go to him for help. Zhang Heng can't get any value out of Aunt Zhang, so he will definitely drive her away again."

Yao Junhua hesitated and said, "I'm afraid that Aunt Zhang will be coaxed by Zhang Heng and really become estranged from Zhang Gong. Then everyone will feel uncomfortable."

Cui Changjia pondered for a while and said, "Actually, I've been thinking, do you think it's okay to let Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang recognize Sister Wang as their goddaughter?"

Cui Changjia had really thought about this matter many times. Zhang Fengming and his wife were really honest, and Wang Chunhua had an extremely good sense of responsibility. If the three of them formed a family, Zhang Fengming and his wife would not be afraid of being alone in their old age, and Wang Chunhua would not be lonely either.

When Yao Junhua heard this, his eyes lit up. Wang Chunhua would rather not get married than raise her younger siblings. Few people can match her character. If Zhang Fengming and his wife could adopt Wang Chunhua as their daughter, it would be a blessing for them!
Yao Junhua took the matter over. She asked Wang Chunhua first. Wang Chunhua definitely had never thought about it, nor did she dare to think about it.

Even though she was later rejected and kicked out by her younger siblings, Wang Chunhua never regretted the more than ten years she had spent on her younger siblings. She was uneducated and didn't understand any big principles. She just felt that since her parents had given birth to her, she should shoulder the responsibilities that she should have.

As a teenager, she was so thin and small that she couldn't even drag a ladder. When picking peppercorns, she could only stand on top of bricks stacked on top of each other and pick them carefully. Often, she would fall from the trees while picking, and her skin was often scratched by the sharp thorns on the pepper trees, leaving cuts on her arms and hands.

She would often sit on the ground and cry loudly when she fell down. When someone passed by and asked her what happened, she would pretend that nothing was wrong and curse loudly, "I was killed by the pepper tree!"
When harvesting peppercorns, not only do they have to pick them, but they also have to watch over them to prevent theft. She and her older brother would find a remote corner of the mountains and stay there overnight. The autumn wind was biting, and they both had snot hanging from their noses every day.

She survived by selling pepper and raising her younger brothers and sisters. People in the village said that the pepper field was a gold nugget left by their parents. What kind of gold nugget? They didn't see how she worked to make a little money.

In the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, she never returned home before dark in three seasons. She ran outside every day to dig medicinal herbs, and she even dared to go to Heihu Valley where no one dared to go.

She picked up anything that could be sold, including Artemisia capillaris and Dandelion in spring, mint and Artemisia annua in summer, and Ground leucophylla in autumn.

Every year she gets stung by bees several times while picking beehives to sell.

She always had a machete on her waist, which she could use to dig medicinal herbs and defend herself. A bachelor in the village had stared at her many times, but she chopped him with the machete, and he never dared to have any ideas about her again.

With just her own hands, she found a wife for her older brother, sent her younger brother to college, and helped her younger sister get into a junior college. Everyone said that she had made it and could find a husband.

But they still looked down on her, either asking her to become someone else's stepmother or marry an old bachelor. She said calmly that she would not marry and would take care of her brother and sister-in-law's children. In the future, they just wanted her to have something to eat when she was old.

The sister-in-law was very moved at first and promised to treat her well, but when the child grew up and she had the acres of pepper fields in her hands, her attitude changed and she could no longer tolerate her.

My sister-in-law didn't say anything else, just said, "If you don't want me and Chuanwang to divorce, then go ahead and make a scene."

Wang Chunhua is just strong, not domineering. In order to maintain the integrity of her family, she chose to leave.

To this day, Wang Chunhua has no regrets about raising her younger siblings. However, after coming to the state capital, especially after settling down in the Cui family's factory, she felt more and more empty in her heart, as if she had no roots.

She felt like a floating duckweed, all alone.

When Yao Junhua asked Zhang Fengming and his wife to adopt her as their daughter, Wang Chunhua felt sad but also excited.

Since she joined the factory, Aunt Zhang has been taking extra care of her. Sometimes when she has menstrual period and stomach pains, Aunt Zhang will cook her some thick brown sugar ginger water to drink.

They have a very good relationship in private. Over the years, she has always been the one who cares for others, and she also longs for someone to love her!

Looking at Wang Chunhua's eager eyes, Yao Junhua felt extremely distressed. She had already made up her mind that if Zhang Fengming and his wife were unwilling to acknowledge her, she would acknowledge her as their sister!
Yao Junhua went to talk to Aunt Zhang first.

Aunt Zhang hasn't been to work since she came back from the hospital. She lies in bed all day long, crying and sleeping. She looks lifeless. Even her meals are served to her by Zhang Fengming from the cafeteria.
