100 I Want to Bring Grandma to Han City

Her uncle’s name was Huang Jun. He was a boor who only knew how to farm and raise pigs. He had spent most of his life wandering around this village. He was originally in his forties, but he looked like he was in his sixties.

Huang Jun chuckled and said, “I almost couldn’t recognize Manman. Women really change when they grow up.”

Gu Man’s Grandma rebuked, “Living in the city is definitely not better than living in the village. Our Manman will definitely look better.”

!!
Huang Jun smiled foolishly and said, “Yes, yes.”

“By the way, Manman, chat with your uncle first. I’ll go pick your favorite snow bean sprout and make you an egg soup.” With that, she ran out of the courtyard without waiting for Gu Man’s response.

Huang Jun asked Gu Man to sit under a longan tree in the courtyard.

Gu Man looked up at the Longan Trees. She remembered that the original owner of the body would wait for this Longan Tree to grow fruits every year. She would even climb the tree to pluck the fruits mischievously and be chased around the courtyard by her grandmother…

Actually, Gu Man was quite happy living here. It was just that after she grew up, she had other thoughts and felt that life in the city would be better. She also wanted to obtain a trace of fatherly love, but in the end, she did not get anything.

Gu Man was looking up and reminiscing when Huang Jun came out with a small plate of fruits. There were peaches, plums, mulberries, and pineapples. He said, “These are all planted by myself in the fields, but they’re definitely not as delicious as the ones in the city.”

Gu Man took the mulberry without hesitation and put it in her mouth. As she chewed, she said, “It’s delicious.”

Huang Jun nagged again, “You used to like these fruits. You’re so young and you already know that eating fruits is good for your health. Your grandmother went to plant a lot of fruits.”

Suddenly, Gu Man asked, “Uncle, did Grandma call me for something?”

Gu Man’s grandmother had only taken the initiative to call her once when she first arrived at the Gu residence.

She knew the reason. Firstly, her grandmother did not like the Gu family. Secondly, when she called Gu Man previously, Gu Man always found an excuse to say that she was busy. The old lady noticed Gu Man’s attitude and stopped calling.

Huang Jun did not expect Gu Man to be so sensitive. He stammered, “It’s nothing. She just… just missed you so she called.”

“Uncle, don’t hide it from me. Tell me.” Gu Man pulled Huang Jun over to sit down and said seriously, “I’m all grown up now. Tell me and I’ll handle it.”

Huang Jun looked at Gu Man’s calm face. It had only been a few months, but Gu Man was no longer a timid little girl.

He lowered his head and pondered for a moment. “Your grandmother sometimes coughs blood. She doesn’t allow us to bring her to the hospital either. She just takes some medicine at the small clinic in town.”

When Gu Man heard him cough up blood, she stood up in shock. “What? Why didn’t you tell me?”

Huang Jun said, “Your grandmother didn’t let us look for you. She said that you had to take the college entrance examination and it would affect you. Besides, it’s useless to tell you. Why should we distract you?”

Gu Man fell silent. Indeed, even if the original owner knew about it, she could not do anything.

“Uncle, I can bear it now. Trust me,” Gu Man said firmly as she looked at Huang Jun.

Huang Jun saw determination and certainty on Gu Man’s still childish face. He could not help but nod.

“Take this new phone. My number is saved on it. You can call me directly,” Gu Man said as she handed over a phone.

“How… do you have the money to buy a phone?” Huang Jun asked curiously. He did not believe that Gu Yuan would give Gu Man so much money.

“Uncle, believe me, I earned this money by working part-time in my spare time. Do you still remember the old computer that we have at home? I learned a lot of money-making skills, and the Gu family gave me some too.”

Gu Man’s words dispelled Huang Jun’s doubts. He said happily, “When your grandmother finds out that you’re so filial later, she’ll be so happy.”

Gu Man nodded and said firmly, “Uncle, I want to bring you guys out to Han City to stay and bring Grandma to the hospital. You don’t have to think about money.”

Without hesitation, Huang Jun stood up and said, “We won’t go to the Gu Family even if we die.”

“We’re not going to the Gu family. We’re renting a house.” Actually, Gu Man wanted to say that she wanted to buy a house, but she saw Huang Jun’s reaction. He would definitely suspect the source of the money if he heard that she wants to buy a house and be worried for her.
