Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 207 Insurance
A-Zu went to the United States to accompany Diana to give birth. He said he was going to accompany his wife to give birth, but in fact, it was more of a trip, because there was still a whole month before Diana gave birth, which was enough time for A-Zu to have a good time. And Lao Dou's mother suddenly felt like traveling, so Zhu Wanling paid for them to sign up for a five-day and four-night tour for the elderly.

Five days passed quickly.

"Grandpa and grandma should be back today after their trip. Xiu Gu, remember to buy more vegetables." The second sister-in-law instructed the nanny Xiu Gu early in the morning. Xiu Gu nodded and agreed and went out to buy vegetables.

It was not until after five in the afternoon that Lao Dou's mother returned to the Kang family. As soon as she got home, she fell on the sofa, looking exhausted. Er Lao and A Yao kept asking them if they were happy on the trip, but they didn't answer and just kept shaking their heads.

"Auntie Dou, you look very tired. Have a cup of tea and take a rest." Zhu Wanling poured tea for the two elders and placed it in front of them.

"Dad, what do you mean by shaking your head? Is this tour group bad?" Kang Qirui guessed.

After taking a sip of tea, the old man sighed and said, "Anyway, the yellow and swollen feet don't need to be lifted."

While the adults were chatting here, Tianxiu was already looking for gifts in his father's mother's backpack. "Grandpa, what is this? And what are these?" He found a bunch of weird things, but it was no fun if he didn't recognize any of them.

"Stop it, stop it. I'll tell you what it is when I have time." The old man didn't seem to want to talk about the trip and changed the subject: "Have you cooked? I'm hungry, let's eat first."

Xiu Gu still had two dishes to cook, so her father asked her to eat while he cooked. It seemed that he was really hungry. He ate three bowls of rice today, and the old lady also ate two bowls. Kang Qirui was puzzled. As people get older, their appetite gradually decreases. Therefore, to prove whether a person is old or not is to ask him whether he can still eat.
As far as Kang Qirui could remember, the last time that Madam Dou had such a large appetite was ten years ago. He asked curiously, "Madam Dou, is there nothing for the tour group to eat? Why are they so hungry?"

"Those who know you know that you are back from traveling, and those who don't know would think you are just released from prison." The second brother's words meant exactly what he said, and it was infuriating to hear.

"You are the one who just got out of prison." The old man was so angry that he slammed his chopsticks on the table. "I told you not to sign up for the old people's group, but you insisted on signing up, okay? We two old men almost couldn't come back."

Although he didn't mention anyone by name, everyone knew he was referring to Zhu Wanling, who almost shed tears of grievance. She was about to say something to defend herself, but Kang Qirui grabbed her hand under the table and supported and comforted her with practical actions. "Dad, how old are you this year? If you don't sign up for the seniors' group, are you going to sign up for the children's group?" Kang Qirui said to his dad.

"Grandpa and grandma, when I went to sign up, a tour guide personally told me that this tour group has many advantages. They will take the elderly's daily routines and safety issues into consideration. I signed up only after hearing so many benefits." Zhu Wanling continued to explain what Kang Qirui said.

"Okay, okay, Wanling, don't be anxious. Uncle doesn't mean that. Don't take it to heart." The maid was gentle and sensible. She also knew that Zhu Wanling had good intentions.

Under the gaze of the mother, the old man also spoke to comfort her: "That's right, Wanling, I didn't say you were bad, I said that the tour group was bad, they deceived you and hurt us badly."

"Let me tell you, when we got to the foot of the mountain that day, all the old men went hiking, leaving a group of kids for us to watch and play on the lawn. What do you think? He said, 'Uncle, don't go up the mountain. We're afraid you'll have a heart attack halfway up the mountain.'"

The mother interrupted and said, "Since your father can't go, I can only accompany him to play with those kids at the foot of the mountain."

"Where did the children come from in the group of elderly people?" Everyone became even more curious.

"Many elderly people brought their grandchildren with them, so the tour guide asked your mother and me to look after them. Many toys were discarded after they were finished playing with them, so I picked them up and gave them to Tianxiu to play with." The old man said helplessly.

He was helpless, and his second sister-in-law was even more helpless. "Tianxiu doesn't even play with those things. How can such a stupid thing suit Tianxiu?" "If Tianxiu doesn't want to play, let Siqi, Siyu, Tianyou and Zhizi play with them." The old man was very persistent, thinking that it would be a waste if he got it for free.

Everyone waved their hands, but no one dared to just pick up a toy and give it to their children to play with. It was so unhygienic.

"Also, it was really annoying when we went swimming that day." Seeing that no one wanted toys, the old man gave up. He continued to complain: "When we got to the beach, I wanted to go in the water, but everyone else went in, but the tour guide wouldn't let me go. He said I was the oldest, and I was just playing with the kids at the beach. He kept saying I was 68, 68, and now elderly tour groups are discriminating against age."

"Do other elderly people have this situation?" A Yao asked.

"Of course not, they were having a great time." The older brother became angrier and angrier as he spoke.

Kang Qirui looked at his father: "Could it be that you offended the tour guide from the very beginning?" With his father's temper and personality, it is possible that he offended someone without knowing it.

"No." The old man shook his head.

Sachiko then said, "Wanling, did they ask you to buy insurance when you signed up?"

Zhu Wanling: "Yes, but they need my grandparents' ID numbers to buy insurance, and I don't know that. I just paid the money and asked them to ask them for their ID numbers on the day of departure to complete the rest of the procedures."

"Oh, that's true." Dad said, resting his hands on the table. "But I think we two are both in good health, so there's no need to waste money. I asked them to refund the insurance money to me."

Sachiko sighed, "Dad, that's right. If you don't buy insurance, how can they let you go up the mountain and into the water? How can they dare to take such responsibility? What's more, they have already taken the money and you are still chasing them to return the money. How can they be in a good mood?"

Kang Qirui was speechless and said helplessly, "Dad, you are such a fool. Wanling gave you the money for the insurance and you just bought it. Now what? It makes me feel the same as you do."

"How could I know it would be like this?" said the old man stubbornly. Everyone was used to it. The old man was just that kind of stingy and stubborn. After dinner, everyone was watching TV and chatting in the living room. Suddenly, the old man came out of the room, looked at Sachiko and asked: "Sachiko, you used to work in insurance. Are you familiar with the insurance business after so long?"

"Dad, why are you asking this?" Sachiko asked puzzledly.

"I just finished my meal and went back to my room to think about it. I feel that it is better for us to buy insurance at our age. Otherwise, we might be targeted when we do something outside, and we would not feel at ease." Dou said with a smile.

"How about this, Dad? I'll go with you tomorrow to the insurance company where I used to work. I'm quite familiar with the place and you can learn more about the specific business to see which insurance you want to buy. Don't worry, I have some connections there and I won't make any random recommendations." Sachiko said.

My father nodded and agreed. Nowadays, people have stereotypes about insurance agents, thinking that they are all scammers who randomly recommend all kinds of messed-up insurance packages. This is why my father asked Sachiko to come forward.

"Has dad changed his ways? He even thinks about buying insurance." The second brother sighed.
