Chapter 498 Why could that be?
Old Mrs. Qin: "..."
She was furious. She had made herself perfectly clear, and this girl was still asking questions.
She initially thought the girl wasn't smart enough, and even though she explained everything in detail, she still couldn't understand.
The old lady couldn't help but glare fiercely at her granddaughter.
"You're so stupid, you have my blood in you, how can you be so stupid? Sometimes I really wish you were like your cold-blooded father, at least you wouldn't be so stupid."
She must have inherited it from her stupid and clumsy daughter who died young.
Du Mei suddenly fell silent and gave an awkward laugh.
"You, you've been by my side for so many years and haven't learned anything. I've taught you for nothing." Old Mrs. Qin looked at Du Mei and was extremely disappointed in her.
But he was, after all, her only blood relative in this world, so no matter how angry she was, she still had to teach him what needed to be taught.
Grandma Qin patiently explained again.
"Everything we have now is thanks to your cousin and his wife. Now that Yan Yan is sick, your cousin and his wife are facing problems and troubles."
"If we can lend a hand, we definitely should. We can't just take other people's things without doing any work for them."
"Don't forget something: they're not related to us by blood, so why should they help us unconditionally? Even if they were blood relatives, there should still be some boundaries."
"Look at your older cousin and his wife. By blood, they are brothers, born of the same parents."
"But when they asked your second cousin and his wife for help, they didn't come empty-handed. They actually found a doctor for your cousin's grandmother and cured Old Mrs. Xu's illness."
To be honest, Xiao Fen and Qin Min are two lazy bums who often slack off and have no real skills.
Old Mrs. Qin didn't even think much of her adopted grandson Qin Min, let alone Xiao Fen, an outsider.
The only reason I gave them a few pointers back then was because they were members of the Qin family.
She didn't have much hope at the time, but she never expected that lazy couple to turn around and do things so well.
It gave her quite a fright.
After listening to the old lady's explanation, Du Mei finally understood. She felt a mix of emotions and was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. She subconsciously held the old lady's hand tightly.
"Grandma, so you were planning this all along, all for my sake."
That's definitely the case. Grandma has always been planning for her, and my cousin and his wife have been taking care of her in every way because of Grandma and our friendship over the years.
Waaah, Grandma is so good to her.
Old Mrs. Qin: "..."
She looked at her granddaughter with an expression as if she were looking at a fool.
I didn't explain much, because even if I did, this silly child wouldn't understand.
She wasn't just thinking about herself; she was also considering her own retirement and the well-being of her honest son and daughter-in-law.
Currently, the most successful members of the Qin family are the second son and his wife.
If the Qin family wants to live a good life in the future, they need to maintain a good relationship with the second son and his wife.
She's getting on in years now, so earning more money is pointless; as long as you have enough, that's enough.
Last night, Grandma Qin quietly calculated all the money she had saved up over the years.
She started saving money when she was young, and most of the time she had a job. She didn't have to pay for her own food and lodging unless she wanted to eat or dress well.
She didn't know how many steps she had taken, but when she counted them, she was shocked to find that she had actually saved almost a thousand yuan.
This is definitely a huge sum of money.
Grandma Qin didn't tell anyone, not even her dearest granddaughter, Du Mei.
She didn't intend to let anyone know about her money until her very last breath.
Money is something you only feel truly secure when you have it firmly in your own hands.
Once given to someone else, that person's heart may not withstand the test; what if it becomes a death warrant?
……
After resigning.
Old Mrs. Qin quickly returned the house and moved back to the military family compound.
She even paid out of her own pocket, gritted her teeth, bought half a pound of meat with meat coupons, and went home early, planning to cook a delicious meal for the whole family today.
Putting everything else aside, her cooking skills are quite good; they can make all the children in the hospital drool with envy, and even the adults can't help but ask her for her cooking secrets.
Grandma Qin has already made up her mind; her next plan is to help take care of the children.
Using her excellent cooking skills, she goes to great lengths to prepare delicious and nutritious meals for her children and her second husband and wife, while also spending time with them.
We must get Yan Yan's illness treated so that the whole family can eat healthily and nutritiously, and everyone can be in great health.
Machinery factory.
The overseas orders have already received payment, all in US dollars.
This deal was almost entirely profit with minimal costs, and the machinery factory made a killing.
Accountant Liu couldn't stop smiling as she looked at the money in the account.
It has to be their factory manager who is capable.
Now things are looking up at their factory.
They only had him in their finance department, and he was already quite relaxed. Now that they've hired a few more people, they're still overwhelmed. It's clear that their factory is getting more and more impressive.
Yao Yao, who was engrossed in calculating accounts and making a loud clattering sound on her abacus, suddenly heard her master burst into laughter, laughing like a country bumpkin.
She looked up and blinked, somewhat puzzled.
"Master, why did you suddenly start laughing while you were working?"
Upon hearing Yao Yao's voice, Accountant Liu stroked his beard and looked at her with a smile.
"Yaoyao, you don't understand. If money fell from the sky one day, you'd be laughing too."
This child is the smartest he has ever seen. He is so talented in arithmetic at such a young age. No matter what he teaches, he can teach it in one go.
When the factory manager first handed the child over...
He was still silently marveling to himself that even such a powerful factory manager was just an ordinary parent when it came to his own child, and that he was so indulgent towards his child's misbehavior.
But when he saw the child's talent, he realized that his factory manager was indeed a manager, having found such a capable little assistant for her.
But thinking about it, it's not that surprising. Their factory manager is a top student who graduated from Peking University, so it's normal for his daughter to resemble her mother.
Yao Yao understood, and she looked up at the sky.
So money really does fall from the sky.
So she silently made a wish in her heart, hoping that money would fall from the sky and fill her little treasure trove to the brim.
This way, Mom and Dad won't have to work so hard and will have more time to spend with her and her brother.
Don't assume that because she's young she doesn't understand many things; in fact, she understands everything.
My brother is sick, and my parents are very worried. My maternal grandmother and great-grandmother are also very worried.
Everyone was keeping it from her and secretly discussing her brother's illness.
Not wanting her family to worry, she pretended not to know and obediently worked hard to earn money.
Once she earns enough money, she wants to take her brother to get medical treatment and use the money to help her parents not have to work so hard so they can spend more time with her and her brother.
