Are you suggesting I inherit three wives' households? I'll marry my eldest brother and bec

Uncle Liu probably sensed Song Li's difficulty in responding, so he said, "Are you checking my household registration every day?!"

Aunt Liu looked at Uncle Liu with displeasure: "What's wrong with a woman asking around? We're acquaintances now, it's not like it's anything shameful."

Song Li smiled faintly: "My family is in Kaiyuan City, which is far from here."

"Then how will you take care of Brother Yu from so far away?" Aunt Liu then asked.

"I will come to Beijing next year."

Aunt Liu: "Why next year? Why not this year?"

Song Li's face fell.

I wanted to ask: Do you live by the sea?

Why does this person talk with such a smile? He's even more annoying than that Liu guy next door.

That person, no matter how you look at it, is straightforward.

This kind of soft-shouldering attitude from Aunt Liu is even more annoying.

At this moment, Grandpa Yu said, "Little Song still has things to take care of over there, so it's fine for him to come next year!"

Aunt Liu knew the atmosphere at the table was off.

He quickly tried to smooth things over: "I was just worried about you, Brother Yu. After all, your health isn't good these days. What if you run out of money one day and need it but can't find anyone to help you?"

Old Yu laughed and said, "That's my fate, no one else needs to worry about it."

Uncle Liu quickly chimed in, "That's right, that's right. Old Yu has family now, his health will only get better and better."

Then, looking at his wife with displeasure, he said, "Why are you saying such discouraging things on such a nice day?"

At this moment, Aunt Liu's youngest son spoke up for his mother: "Dad, you and Uncle Yu have had such a good relationship all these years. Mom was just worried about Uncle Yu, so she asked a bit too many questions."

Then, looking at Song Li, he said, "Sister Song, don't be angry!"

Song Li smiled faintly: "No, I'm not usually the type to hold a grudge against outsiders."

Everyone's words had their own meaning.

Song Li originally planned to give the Liu family a certain amount of money each month so that they could send someone here to help Grandpa Yu with cleaning, laundry, and cooking every day, but now it seems that this is no longer necessary.

After dinner.

The Liu family then left.

Song Li suddenly understood why Old Master Yu wanted to take in his goddaughter.

I have things that I can give to others, but I don't want others to have anything on my mind.

Having experienced so much, Old Yu could probably tell that Aunt Liu had ulterior motives.

Old Yu accepted the five thousand yuan from Song Li.

Then he quietly gave Uncle Liu 500 yuan to thank him for taking care of him over the years, but Uncle Liu refused to accept it.

They claim to be friends, but what kind of nonsense is this, taking money from each other?

Mr. Yu insisted on giving it to him, saying that if he didn't accept it, they wouldn't consider him a friend.

Uncle Liu and I actually got along quite well, but Aunt Liu was a real handful.

And there's Uncle Liu's youngest son.

Song Li was worried that someone might try to steal Grandpa Yu's money while he was home alone.

So the next day, I took Grandpa Yu to the bank and deposited the money in his name. I only had 500 yuan on me for everyday use.

Then I took Grandpa Yu to the hospital for a full physical examination.

I had heard Uncle Liu say before that Grandpa Yu was in poor health.

So it's better to have it checked to put your mind at ease.

They won't be staying long.

Because their letters of introduction are about to expire.

Thankfully, the test results came back; it was a psychological issue.

Prolonged anxiety can lead to mental lethargy.

This condition can be fatal if it persists for a long time.

And there's also a problem with my lungs.

Fortunately, there was no serious illness.

Even though she wasn't seriously ill, Song Li still had the doctor prescribe a lot of traditional Chinese medicine to nourish her body.

This body needs to be gradually taken care of.

Grandpa Yu plans to use his own money.

But Song Li refused.

She will be away for a year during this period.

So let him keep the money in his own hands.

Grandpa Yu has already given her a lot.

Spending this little bit of money on him is nothing.

After the three returned...

Lu Cheng then went to brew the medicine and cook the meal.

Song Li looked at Grandpa Yu: "Grandpa, in this alley, do you know anyone you think has good character and can trust?"

Grandpa Yu looked up: "You want to find someone to take care of me?"

Song Li never expected that Grandpa Yu would guess her thoughts so quickly.

Grandpa Yu then said, "No need, I've always lived alone before, and I'm fine now."

Song Li: "No, I've accepted all your things, so of course I have to take good care of you. What would I do if something happened to you?"

Grandpa Yu laughed: "You little devil, can't you ever wish me any good luck?"

Song Li laughed: Why does that phrase "little devil" sound so familiar?

Grandpa Yu's smile faded.

"No need to find someone to take care of me. What if the policy changes again someday? That would be capitalist behavior." His old bones really can't handle another one.

Song Li smiled: "Grandpa, believe me, now that we've reformed and opened up, we've implemented the individual economy. The overthrow of capitalism is over, and I can guarantee that it will never happen again."

Looking at Song Li's determined eyes, Old Yu wondered why.

I was clearly worried.

But seeing her determined look, I wanted to believe her.

Song Li continued, "You'll be spending this whole year alone, so of course I want you to be healthy and well when I come over."

Old Yu nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, I'll follow your arrangements. Remember to write to me every month while you're away!"

Song Li laughed and said, "Why write letters! That's too slow! I'll call you every month. I'll go ask around the alley tomorrow where I can answer a phone."

"This is better," said Mr. Yu.

And so I listened to Grandpa Yu tell me about the situation of each family in the alley.

Song Li went to the Chen family the next day.

The Chen family were outsiders.

The woman was a cotton mill worker.

The man is from the countryside.

The couple had three children.

All three children are in elementary school.

The woman goes to work, while the man does odd jobs; he's a very honest person.

As for why a city dweller would marry a man from the countryside.

There was a slight surprise in the middle of this.

Song Li went there very early in the morning.

Several families also live in this courtyard.

There were quite a few people in the courtyard early in the morning.

They all stared at the unfamiliar Song Li.

Of course, one or two of the people who watched the argument that day recognized Song Li.

A woman standing nearby said, "You really bought Old Master Yu's courtyard."

Song Li laughed and said, "I didn't buy it. Grandpa Yu recognized my brother and me as his godchildren and gave the house to us directly. It's already been transferred to me, but we'll have to be responsible for his health and old age in the future. I went to the hospital yesterday for a full checkup, which cost a couple hundred yuan."

"And they also need someone to take care of their food, clothing, shelter and transportation every day."

Why not just say you bought it?

She was worried that if she bought it, someone might be after Grandpa Yu's money, as there were quite a few thieves around at that time.

The people nearby heard this.

What?

This little girl, a con artist, actually got a free ride.

At this moment, there were all sorts of feelings: jealousy, envy, and so on.

But then I thought about it again.

Although you can get a lot now, the cost can be quite high if you have a long-term illness.

So after feeling envious, it's not really a question of whether it's profitable or not.

Song Li said that on purpose.

"So who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Chen Haisheng."

Chen Haisheng, who was telling his wife to take her time getting to work, looked over when he heard his name called.

Looking at Song Li.

Who is this? He doesn't recognize him either.

What do you want with him?

At this moment, Chen Haisheng's wife also looked at Song Li.

The person next to him said, "That's Chen Haisheng."

Song Li: "Thank you!"

Song Li walked towards Chen Haisheng.

Both of them looked at Song Li in surprise.

Song Li looked at Chen Haisheng: "I heard you're unemployed. Do you need a job?"
