Chapter 496 You can't take it with you when you die.
Xu Sui and Wang Yinhua tried to persuade the old lady for a long time, and finally managed to calm her down.
It was getting late, so they put him to bed and put him to sleep.
The house has three bedrooms and one living room, that is, three rooms in total.
Xu Sui and Qin Yunzhou, the couple, shared one room, their two children shared another, and the other room had two beds, which was previously occupied by Qin's grandmother.
After Qin started working, she felt that traveling back and forth was too much trouble, so she rented a room in town and didn't come back to live there much anymore.
So now Wang Yinhua lives alone in this room, but today the old lady came back, so now the two of them live together.
The room was quite large, with two beds, one for each person, even more spacious than the room they lived in back in their hometown.
midnight.
Grandma Qin appeared to be asleep, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard she tried. Her mind was still clear, and she kept thinking about Yan Yan's illness.
Although the couple didn't blame her, she had taken such a huge advantage from them back then. They supported her and her granddaughter, Xiaomei.
The purpose was to ensure that the grandmother and granddaughter could take good care of the two children.
This child is six years old, and suddenly during a check-up, it was discovered that he has mild autism, and it's congenital.
This indicates that the child had a problem from a young age, but those responsible for taking care of the child were completely unaware of it.
The more Grandma Qin thought about it, the more conflicted and depressed she felt, and she couldn't fall asleep.
Putting everything else aside, just take Yan Yan, for example. She watched her grow up. Even if she's not her own great-grandchild, she still has feelings for her.
Seeing her child like this, she was truly heartbroken.
No, she has to do something for this family.
The next morning.
Xu Sui and Qin Yunzhou went to work as usual.
For the couple, giving up their work was impossible, but neglecting their child was even more unacceptable. So they spent most of last night discussing it and finally came to a decision.
I try to get off work early every day and spend an hour with my two children. On weekends, I also try to stay home with them, go out and explore.
The two of them couldn't sleep all night and even reflected on their daily interactions with their two children, which were indeed pitifully few.
Qin Yunzhou felt very guilty. Compared to Xu Sui, he was the one who spent the least time with the child.
When his children were four or five years old, they came to the army to reunite with him. During that year, he was busy with work and rarely spent time with his two children.
Despite having suffered hardships himself as a child and vowing never to let his children experience them, he still made his children go through them.
This is his failure as a father.
As dawn broke, the sun rose in the east.
Early in the morning, the entrance of Nanshan County Machinery Factory was crowded with people waiting for job interviews.
It was so crowded and lively that it was almost impossible to squeeze in.
There are only ten openings, but judging from the situation, almost everyone in the county who meets the requirements has come.
These locals are now proud to be able to work in the machine factory.
If a family has a worker in a machine factory, they have to walk with their head held high and chest out, and outsiders have to give them some face.
The gatekeeper sat in the pavilion watching all this, puffing on his pipe, and sighed.
Who would have thought that this Nanshan County Machinery Factory was on the verge of bankruptcy a year ago?
All these changes are inseparable from their factory manager.
Xu Sui arrived at the machinery factory early in the morning, intending to finish her work as soon as possible and leave work early.
She had just sat down in her office when, in a short while, Ma Honghua arrived with a message.
"Factory manager, factory manager, Grandma Qin wants to resign."
Xu Sui was slightly taken aback, almost not reacting at all.
When did this happen?
Why do you suddenly want to resign when you were doing so well?
"Regarding what just happened, I asked the old lady what was wrong, and she told me that she was too old and didn't plan to keep going."
Xu Sui remained silent for a moment, then suddenly remembered what had happened last night.
Without a second thought, she put down her work and immediately went to the human resources department.
Unexpectedly, after taking only a few steps, he bumped into Old Lady Qin who was walking towards him.
……
in the office.
Xu Sui asked, "Grandma, why did you suddenly decide to resign?"
Old Mrs. Qin had already guessed that she would ask that question.
So she sighed and said, "Sui Sui, when I chose a job, I just wanted to find something to do, because I was afraid that I would get sick from being too idle."
"At that time, you hired a nanny, the two children went to school, and Xiaomei got married. I was so bored that I was practically moldy. There was no need for me at all."
"But actually, I'd rather be with my children than work. Besides, I'm getting old now and it's not suitable for me to continue working. It's time for me to resign and retire at home."
Xu Sui was silent for a moment, then pursed her lips: "Grandma, is it because of Yan Yan's illness?"
"If that's the case, you really don't need to do this. This wasn't your fault, we all know that."
"Yunzhou and I have already made plans. We will try our best to spend time with the two children every day from now on, so you don't need to worry."
Knowing she couldn't hide it from Xu Sui, Old Lady Qin decided to speak in a half-truthful manner.
"It's somewhat related to Yan Yan's illness, but not significantly."
"Look at you two, so busy with work. Even the best housekeeper is still an outsider. She can't compare to the care and attention of your own family."
"I'm getting old and don't plan to go through all that trouble. What I'm thinking is that when you two are busy, I'll take care of the two children, and we'll work together to cure their illnesses."
She's over 70 this year, which is quite an age, and the money she earns and the savings she has are enough for her needs.
At my age, there's no need to keep fussing over material possessions. After all, we can't take them with us when we die.
It would be better to take advantage of my current ability to help the young couple lighten their burden and spend more time taking care of the child.
That way, they will remember her well in the future, and after she passes away, they will take better care of Xiaomei out of respect for her.
Of course, besides all that, she also sincerely hoped that Yan Yan's child could get better, and that Yun Zhou and his wife could get better as well.
After all these years of getting to know each other, even if you initially only valued their abilities and thought they would become successful, people develop feelings over time.
