Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 478 Mother-in-law
He can be a grandfather at the age of 42, not because of his seniority, but because he is his own daughter's child. Just thinking about it, Li Yancheng feels it is a bit exaggerated.

In fact, this is also the result of the thoughts of later generations.

During this period, everyone followed the rules and did things according to their age, unlike in later generations, when it was common to find people in their thirties still unmarried.

After chatting with the two old neighbors for a while, Old Duan suddenly changed the subject.

"Dacheng, I heard you found your family?"

When the Cheng family came over yesterday, many neighbors saw them, but because Cheng Jianwen was wearing sunglasses, not many people could see his specific appearance clearly. Only Sister Wang who greeted Luo Min at that time could see him clearly because they were close to him.

Even though Cheng Jianwen was wearing sunglasses, Sister Wang could tell at a glance from his nose and mouth that he looked very similar to Li Yancheng.

As for Li Yancheng's background, almost all the old neighbors in Meishandong Hutong knew it, so when Sister Wang told others about it, she insisted that she had definitely found her family.

This gossip had already spread throughout the alley yesterday. Someone asked Luo Min about it when she and Xing Lihua were out last night. At that time, she hadn't said she would make the news public, so Luo Min just laughed it off and said they were just friends.

But the situation is different today. After Mr. Fang talked with Li Yancheng in the morning, he reported to the organization during the meeting and soon received a reply that the news could be spread.

Li Yancheng, who was still in the general hospital in the afternoon, received the notice, which also meant that the time he worked at the Social Affairs Bureau headquarters had entered the countdown stage.

Having worked in the Social Affairs Bureau for twelve years, he started out as a doctor in a clinic on secondment, and is now a director-level cadre. He has given a lot and also gained a lot.

Now facing Lao Duan's question, he nodded calmly: "Yes, Uncle Duan, I found my biological parents. The ones who came here yesterday were my biological mother and brother."

"Congratulations, Dacheng."

The old neighbors living in Meishan East Hutong all knew that Li Yancheng was the child that Mr. Li picked up from the pile of dead bodies outside the city. Now they heard him say that he had found his biological parents, which proved that his parents were not among the dead back then. This is definitely a happy thing.

"Thank you, Uncle Duan!"

"Dacheng, are you a child of the Fu family? The Fu family in the west of the city. The trams and the First Department Store in Beijing were all the property of the Fu family before liberation."

At this time, Old Dong, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

When he spoke, Li Yancheng was stunned. Old Duan was also stunned for a moment. He first turned his head to glance at Old Dong, as if he thought of something. A strange light flashed in his eyes, and then he turned his head again.

The Cheng family's sphere of influence back then was mainly in Jin City, Beihe Province, and they had businesses in Jing City, but they were still somewhat inferior to the Fu family.

After discovering that the child was missing, the Fu family was responsible for searching for the child in Beijing. At that time, there were flyers published in newspapers and distributed on the streets looking for the child everywhere. The commotion was quite loud, and many residents in Meishan Shandong Hutong knew about it.

As to why Mr. Li did not say anything at that time, it is still unknown now, but Li Yancheng thought that the old man had no children, so he might have just wanted to raise him and take care of him in his old age.

He didn't know how the original owner would view this matter, but from the memories he inherited after his soul traveled through time, the original owner had always wanted to find his biological parents.

But it doesn’t matter now!

Mr. Dong asked this question out of the blue, probably because he didn't expect Li Yancheng to be a child of the Fu family.

Judging from the strange look on Old Duan's face, he might be thinking about the situation more than 30 years ago. Or maybe, he knew back then that the child picked up by Mr. Li was from the Fu family, but he had forgotten about it after so many years. Now he remembered it again when Old Dong mentioned it.

Li Yancheng looked at Lao Duan deeply, but didn't ask anything. After looking at him, he looked at Lao Dong.

"Yes, Uncle Dong, I am the child lost by the Fu family in the west of the city. My mother is the eldest daughter of the Fu family."

"It's true!"

Seeing that Li Yancheng admitted it, the expression on Old Dong's face became a little emotional. He worked in the warehouse of the First Department Store before liberation. After liberation, the First Department Store became state-owned, and he had been working there ever since.

Unexpectedly, Li Yancheng, who has been a neighbor for more than 30 years, is actually the child lost by his old boss.

"Dacheng, your grandfather should have known that the Fu family was looking for you all over the city. Why... uh..."

Before Mr. Dong could finish his words, Mr. Duan, who was standing next to him, suddenly bent his elbow and touched him, directly knocking back the words he had not yet finished.

Old Dong turned his head and looked at Old Duan in surprise, probably wondering why he didn't let him speak.

Before Old Duan could interrupt, Li Yancheng had already waved his hand with a smile.

"Uncle Duan, don't be so nervous. No matter what my grandfather was thinking back then, it is an indisputable fact that he picked me up from the dead and saved my life. I can't thank my grandfather enough. I won't have any other thoughts. I won't do anything like eating someone's food and then blaming someone else."

Seeing that Li Yancheng had revealed his little thoughts in one sentence, Old Duan smiled awkwardly.

"Dacheng, don't think too much, your grandfather..."

"It's okay, Uncle Duan, you don't need to explain, I understand everything. He is the grandfather who raised me. Both I and the Fu family are full of gratitude to him. My mother even burned incense for my grandfather yesterday and kowtowed three times to thank him for saving my life and raising me."

It has been more than 30 years since the incident, and the old man who picked up the original owner has been dead for more than ten years. What's the point of pursuing the truth of that year? Li Yancheng feels that he is not that free.

Only then did Old Dong realize why Old Duan interrupted him and stopped him from continuing. It turned out that Mr. Li had selfish motives when he left the child behind and did not return it to the Fu family.

"Dacheng, what should be your original name? Your father is..." Old Duan asked curiously.

My mother's family is so powerful, so my father's family should be even more powerful.

"My original name is Cheng Jiansheng, but I will definitely not change my name in the future. I will always be called Li Yancheng."

"Procedure?"

After thinking for a while, Lao Duan and Lao Dong looked at each other and both felt unfamiliar with this surname.

The Cheng family's roots are not in Beijing. Although the bank they founded and the transportation company they controlled have branches here, they are not accessible to ordinary people.

It's like when an ordinary person goes to a bank to deposit money, who would care about the name of the bank's president or who the shareholders are? All ordinary people care about is whether the bank has a good reputation and whether there will be a problem where they deposit money and won't be able to withdraw it in the future.

Li Yancheng did not explain to them what the Cheng family did. He chatted with Old Duan and Old Dong for a few words, then said goodbye and went into the yard. He still had to help his daughter wipe her body.

The reason why he stayed and was willing to say a few more words was that he wanted to use these two people to spread the news that he had found his biological family.

Old Dong originally wanted to ask where the Fu family went after leaving Beijing, but Li Yancheng didn't give him the opportunity. Seeing the door of the Li family slowly closing, he could only smack his lips and turn around to leave with Old Duan.

"What did you want to ask just now? I saw that you were hesitant to speak."

"Well, it's just a random question." Old Dong smiled a little embarrassedly: "I just want to ask Dacheng where the Fu family went before liberation."

"You are meddling in other people's business. Why do you care where others go?" Old Duan rolled his eyes at Old Dong in annoyance.

"Hey, I'm free now, so I'd like to show some concern for my old boss."

"Okay, let's take care of our own business first. Boss, you should go home early too."

After walking a few steps west, he arrived at Courtyard No. 21 where Old Duan lived. After reaching the gate, he stopped and waved to Old Dong.

"Okay, go back, we'll talk tomorrow."

Watching Old Dong continue walking westward, Old Duan smiled and shook his head.

When Li Yancheng's three cars drove over yesterday morning, he saw them from a distance. Although he didn't see the faces of the people getting off the cars, he could clearly see the neat Zhongshan suits on the foreign affairs department staff. Old Duan had worked in the street office for so long and had a lot of experience. He could tell at a glance that those people were cadres. Li Yancheng's biological mother came to her son's house. She didn't look like someone from China in her clothes. She was accompanied by cadres. Her identity was obvious. She had just returned from abroad.

I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it.

……

"What nonsense! How could you say such a thing to Yan Cheng? Aren't you afraid that your daughter will come back and make trouble with you if she finds out?"

Just when Li Yancheng was helping his daughter wash and getting ready for bed at home, Mr. Luo, who had just returned home, heard from his wife what she had asked his son to take care of his son-in-law, and he immediately couldn't sit still.

"Oh, Lao Luo, don't be so anxious. I just want to use Yan Cheng to reject Niu Guoqing. After all, this kid did save our Xiao Min, and his father also saved you. Although his request is a bit excessive, it is not easy for me as an elder to reject him directly. There is no other way. I can only think of this way."

"Why not just refuse? You got two jobs for the Niu family. He came back alone, so he should have returned the other letter of introduction. So what did he do?

Selling the job without even asking is a sign of evil intention.

He even had the nerve to ask to live at Xiao Min's house? He is so shameless. I don't believe you can't tell what he is up to."

"Of course I saw that. No matter what, he's back now. Since he has that little idea in mind, even if he doesn't make this request this time, he will definitely find a way to find Xiao Min.

Rather than letting Yan Cheng misunderstand something at that time, it is better to take this opportunity to tell him the whole story.

This way, even if Niu Guoqing has bad intentions, we don’t have to worry about affecting our daughter and son-in-law.”

After hearing his wife's explanation, Mr. Luo was silent for a while.

"Then tell Yan Cheng that you haven't made your thoughts clear."

“I didn’t say that, but from my attitude when I answered the phone just now, he should be able to tell that I was actually being perfunctory about this matter.

Lao Luo, don't worry, I know Yan Cheng very well, he won't have any other ideas. "

The old lady thought that her son-in-law was so smart that he would definitely be able to figure out the real meaning of her strange behavior.

"whispering sound"

It was obvious that Mr. Luo did not agree with his wife's statement and was very disdainful of it.

"Come on, after all, Xiao Min is involved in this matter. It can be a favor or something like that. Xiao Min was still young at that time. This matter should be handled by us as parents, and Yan Cheng should not be involved.

And if you want to involve him, then just do it. Why do you want Yan Cheng to guess what you mean? Can't you just say it directly if you have something to say to your family members?"

The old man's words almost made the old lady angry.

Oh, so it's ok for you to speak in ambiguous ways all the time, but it's not ok for me to ask my son-in-law to guess what I mean. What's the matter? The officials are allowed to set fires, but the common people are not allowed to light lamps!
However, after being reminded of this, the old lady realized that her behavior was indeed inappropriate. She should have made it clear and not created any conflicts between her son-in-law and daughter because of such a trivial matter. Otherwise, she, as a mother, would be to blame.

The old man and the old lady quarreled about this matter because they were worried that it would affect the relationship between their daughter and son-in-law. They obviously underestimated the feelings between the two of them.

After eleven years of marriage, let’s not talk about the lengths and depths of their relationship, as the two of them know each other’s temper and personality thoroughly.

This matter would not have any impact on Li Yancheng at all. He did not believe that his wife still had any feelings for that childhood playmate. He even doubted whether his wife could still remember this person.

Because he knew Luo Min, who would not take irrelevant things or people to heart.

"Lao Luo, didn't you say that Yancheng's job would be adjusted? When will it be adjusted? To what position?" The old lady didn't want to talk about that matter anymore, so she changed the subject very abruptly.

The old lady never cared much about her children's work. She was more concerned about their lives.

My youngest son's job is to be transferred. This matter has been decided and the appointment document will be issued after the National Day next month.

Although the old lady was reluctant to let her husband let her youngest son, who had been with her since birth, go to work in a strange city thousands of kilometers away, she gritted her teeth and endured it for the sake of her child's future.

Not long after she learned that her youngest son's job was going to be adjusted, she heard from her husband that her youngest son-in-law's job would also be adjusted. She thought that he would also be transferred to another province or city, and she was furious.

My goodness, what's going on? Not only can you let your son go, you're also going to let your son-in-law go. Are you going to take your eldest son-in-law away too? What are you planning to do, you old man? Are you going to break up this family?

Fortunately, Mr. Luo never thought about it that way. He just wanted to transfer his son-in-law out of the relatively closed unit, the Social Affairs Bureau, and pave a broader path for him.

However, the matter of his son has been settled, but there has been no further news about his son-in-law. The night before yesterday, the son-in-law came to talk with the old man in the study for a long time. They probably talked about the two issues of recognizing relatives and work.

"It has been decided, and it is ahead of schedule. After the meeting, Yan Cheng's order will come down."

"So soon?" The old lady was still a little surprised when she heard that the order would be issued after the meeting. She thought it would be the same as her younger son and would be delayed until after the National Day.

"Well, isn't this a confession of kinship?"

"What does this have to do with recognizing one's relatives?"

"Yancheng intends to treat his biological mother's illness."

"This...what does this have to do with Yancheng's work adjustment?" The old lady's forehead was full of question marks at this moment.

Fu Shuyi had a heart disease. She had heard the old man mention it, but she didn't take it to heart because Li Yancheng was there. She believed that her son-in-law would definitely help treat his biological mother.

Compared to the laymen who were just watching the fun, the old lady, as an expert professor in Western medicine obstetrics and gynecology, had a deep understanding of her son-in-law's medical skills, even to the point of blind trust.

After all, she had witnessed many medical miracles created by her son-in-law, and he had cured many patients who had been completely given up by Western medicine.

Now the son-in-law wants to treat his biological mother himself, which should be a piece of cake. What does this have to do with adjusting the work? Could it be that...

"Lao Luo, are you planning to transfer Yan Cheng to the hospital?"

Before Mr. Luo could explain, the old lady blurted out.

"How is that possible? Even if I agree, Lao Fang, Lao Su, Lao Wang and the others won't agree to it."

Cultivating the next generation is the consensus among Mr. Luo and his friends, and among them, they are most optimistic about Li Yancheng.

With his superb medical skills, Li Yancheng has established his own network of contacts. Many old comrades who have retired to the second line due to health reasons have high praise for him. This is an advantage that others simply cannot get.

In addition, the various contributions he has made during his years of working in the Social Affairs Bureau will be of great benefit to his future development.

It would be a real waste if he were transferred to work in a hospital now.

"It's not that simple to treat Ms. Fu. If something goes wrong, the consequences will be unpredictable.

We discussed it and decided that it was not impossible to let Yan Cheng treat her, but it could not be done in a formal manner and the public announcement should not directly acknowledge that Yan Cheng was the biological son that Ms. Fu lost.

The son was treating his mother's illness, and even if something unexpected happened, no one could make a fuss about it.

Since this matter is to be made public, then Yan Cheng is definitely not suitable to continue working in the Social Affairs Bureau, so he must be transferred as soon as possible."

The old lady curled her lips. She was unhappy that something as simple as curing illnesses and saving lives had to be made so complicated, but she also understood that at a certain level, everything was inseparable from politics.
