Chapter 66 Parents' Divine Assistance!!
"Here he is!"
After a while, a middle-aged woman came out of the inner room.
She was slightly overweight and dressed very simply.
The woman's eyes were red, clearly she had just been crying.
"Third Aunt, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Le asked.
My heart skipped a beat, fearing that something might have happened to Uncle Dai.
"It's nothing... It's windy in the yard, and it got in my eyes."
"When did Xiao Le get back?"
"Come in quickly, your uncle is home."
Auntie wiped away her tears and forced a smile as she spoke.
Chen Le sensed something was wrong, but said nothing and went straight into the house.
Then I saw Uncle Dai sitting on the heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove), sewing something stitch by stitch.
My eyes are all dark from staying up so late.
Thick calluses on my hands.
Chen Le felt uncomfortable watching this, so he quickly stepped forward to greet him, "Uncle Dai..."
"Ouch..."
Uncle Dai was stunned for a moment, then put on his reading glasses and said with surprise, "Isn't this Xiao Le? You actually knew to come and see me?"
"You've been in the city for several years, how come you've gotten so thin from hunger?"
"Are you short of money again? Uncle has saved some for you, but don't tell your parents."
As he spoke, he shakily pulled out a few red bills from under the bed sheet.
"Uncle Dai..."
Chen Le was filled with mixed feelings and felt extremely uncomfortable.
The hands holding the gifts trembled uncontrollably.
Inside the house, the television has a huge hole in it; I don't know if it can be turned on.
The window was broken and was patched up with paper.
The electric fans were all wobbling.
Even though Uncle Dai was in such dire straits, he was still willing to take out his own money to spend.
How could I, in my past life, be so ungrateful and forget this old man!
"Uncle, I'm not here to ask for money."
Chen Le pressed the money out of Uncle Dai's hand and said with a smile, "I've brought you some steamed buns and two bottles of wine!"
As they were talking, Chen Le had already placed two bottles of wine and a bowl of steamed buns on the table.
At this point, Chen Le took out the bag.
"I, Chen Le, have finally made something of myself! I'm earning money now, so I can repay Uncle Dai for your kindness to me."
"Here is 100,000 yuan. Please make sure Uncle Dai accepts it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Le quickly took out ten dozen red bills from inside.
They placed them little by little on the table.
"what?!"
Auntie and Uncle Dai's eyes were both fixed on the money.
A look of shock appeared on his face.
Chen Le joked, "What's wrong? Those bamboo dragonflies and little frogs that Uncle Dai made for me aren't worth this little bit of money?"
"Ah...you actually still remember those little things!"
Uncle Dai was stunned for a moment, so embarrassed that he wished he could disappear into the ground.
After saying that, he couldn't help but burst into laughter, saying, "That's only worth a few cents!"
Chen Le shook his head and said seriously, "That's not how it's calculated."
"Uncle, I remember all the kindness you've shown me."
“I grew up under your watchful eye. My parents were busy farming, and if it weren’t for you taking care of them every day, I might have been kidnapped by some human trafficker.”
"Furthermore, when the Chen family was in debt, you were the one who stood up to help my parents."
“You haven’t even become rich yourself, yet you’re already thinking about giving me money.”
"Isn't this kindness, which endures like water dripping on stone, worth a mere 100,000?"
Chen Le's voice was firm yet gentle.
The sound echoed in the small house.
Third Aunt took out a handkerchief and burst into tears.
"You kid..."
"You kid..."
Old Dai couldn't hold back any longer.
She pointed her finger at Chen Le, and choked up.
Wiping away her tears, she began to sob softly.
"You two are my elders, this is my way of showing my respect to you!"
Chen Le patted Uncle Dai and said with a smile.
Uncle Dai finally burst out laughing, saying, "You're finally not poor anymore?"
"I'm not poor anymore! I've made it big! You can ask my parents if you don't believe me!"
Chen Le put his hands on his hips and started to act.
Uncle Dai poked Chen Le's forehead and said kindly, "Alright, then I'll really keep this money. Don't regret it later and try to take it back secretly, or I'll be furious with you."
Chen Le chuckled and said, "Spend this money quickly, there's more to come! I've decided to take care of you in your old age, so don't worry!"
"Good lad, you have a conscience!"
Uncle Dai smiled and patted the heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove), gesturing for Chen Le to sit down.
He and his third aunt never had a son.
He had always thought Chen Le was pleasing to the eye since he was a child and had always doted on him as if he were his own son.
Seeing Chen Le become successful, he naturally became more and more pleasing to the eye.
As soon as Chen Le sat down, he started rambling on.
"Uncle, have you been feeling discomfort in your lower abdomen lately? You should have your aunt take you to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible."
“My friend had the same problem. It eventually developed into an incurable disease. He spent a lot of money, but he still couldn’t be cured.”
You absolutely must go as soon as possible.
In short, when dealing with the older generation, you have to make the situation sound serious before they will listen.
Chen Le was quite clear about this.
Upon hearing this, Uncle Dai and Auntie Dai exchanged a glance, both becoming tense and exclaiming in surprise, "Really?"
Chen Le nodded and said, "Really."
"If you go to see a doctor now, you can get better by spending a thousand or two on medicine."
"If it drags on any longer, things might get complicated."
"I've arranged the hospital for you. You can just go there when the time comes."
Uncle Dai was deeply moved and nodded repeatedly.
Auntie San stopped crying when she heard this.
Busy with preparations, he praised Chen Le's filial piety while working.
Chen Le smiled when he saw this.
He opened a bottle of Moutai and boasted for a while about how expensive the liquor was.
He urged Uncle Dai to drink for quite a while.
The uncle and nephew laughed and joked for a long time, and drank to their hearts' content.
Once Uncle Dai had drunk himself to sleep, Chen Le turned and left, satisfied.
"Xiao Le, take these vegetables!"
Third Aunt had just finished tending the vegetable garden when she quickly caught up with Chen Le and grabbed him.
Then he picked a bowl of fresh vegetables from the yard and stuffed them all into his hands.
"Okay, you don't need to see me off!"
Chen Le expressed his gratitude as he walked home.
Stepping out of the Dai family's gate.
Chen Le finally let out a long breath.
The weight on my heart has finally been lifted.
One of the regrets from the past life has been eliminated.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard Xin Xin's sweet, childlike voice.
Grandpa, will you play hide-and-seek with me?
Xin Xin held a big radish, took a bite, and shouted. She looked incredibly cute.
"Hahaha, my precious granddaughter, wait until Grandpa puts out his cigarette!"
As Chen Bolin spoke, he quickly threw his precious tobacco pouch on the ground, picked up his granddaughter, and went out to wander around the village.
Upon seeing this, Chen Le's face lit up with a happy smile.
The father felt very reassured having his daughter with him.
Chen Le quickly went inside to help Su Xi and her mother tidy up.
Chen Bolin showed off his granddaughter for a long time before returning home late at night.
Chen Le was busy as a spinning top, having just finished tidying up the inner room.
Xin Xin is back, now it's time for the adults to go to sleep.
Li Xiuying called Chen Le over, stuffed two pillows into his mouth, and muttered, "It's getting late. You two have been busy all day, you must be exhausted."
"Ah Le, take the pillow over there and get some rest!"
Chen Le's eyes lit up. He took the pillow and quietly gave his elderly mother a thumbs up: "Great! You should get some rest too."
Oh, it has to be her own mother!
God assists!
As the saying goes, "What goes around comes around."
Is there anything that can't be solved by sharing a kang (heated brick bed)?
