Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One-Chapter 479 - 36: Two Peaches Kill Three Warriors_2
"Mom, why should we take care of the second brother’s kids? The fourth and I also have kids."
As for being reluctant... For the Old Chu Family, if there’s one thing they have plenty of these days, it’s kids. Even if the parents find it a bit hard to let go, having two more in the future wouldn’t matter much.
The second brother’s family wasn’t happy about it either.
"Why shouldn’t we take care of our kids? Our Er Dan is so smart and the right age for it. Your kids are too young. They’ll just hold everyone back if they go. How’s that right?"
No matter what, as the eldest son and grandson, Da Dan still held some status in the family. At this moment, he cleared his throat, "Grandma, it’s hard to buy train tickets now. I should head to the station first to get some."
Mentioning money snapped everyone back to their senses.
Old Mrs. Chu also got instantly angry—
"Those unlucky things, they want you two to work there, and yet they don’t give travel expenses!"
Then she thought again, that person is a jinx, how could Da Dan have a good future following someone like that?
But who was Da Dan? Despite not having much schooling, he was extremely clever.
"Grandma, don’t worry about that for now. If I go work for aunt, she’ll definitely pay me. If she doesn’t, I’ll go to the army and ask the soldiers to help me out."
"By then, I’ll earn 5 or 10 yuan a month, and I’ll send all the money back to grandma." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
His mother wasn’t happy either.
"Da Dan, don’t forget your parents!" Giving everything to grandma, what about his real parents?
Da Dan pretended to ponder, "Mom, I want to send money too, but the salary won’t be high. How should I divide it?"
This was yet another new dilemma.
Da Dan’s mom mulled over her disputes with her mother-in-law over the years. At this moment, the two women exchanged a glance, already having a new disagreement over the money they hadn’t even received yet.
Da Dan turned to Daya and said, "Don’t worry, they won’t stop arguing for a few days. By then, we can take the letter of introduction and run off."
True enough—
Deciding who Da Dan should take, this alone was a topic for two days of arguments.
If there were wages afterwards, how would grandma and daughter-in-law divide it upon return? That’s yet another topic.
People need to be given money for train tickets, don’t they? Should the train fare come from the family fund, be split among families, or paid by the family whose child is traveling?
There were plenty of issues.
While Da Dan hadn’t attended much school, he had crafted new strategies with the "Two Peaches Kill Three Men" mindset.
And just by noon on the second day, before anything was decided, the team leader secretly sent someone to his house where someone in green military attire was holding train tickets, waiting for the two kids.
...
New kids were on the scene already; competition in life wasn’t far off.
But at this moment, Gu An was just being pushed back with a pale face.
The anesthesia hadn’t worn off; he was temporarily stable. Shi Suifeng and Chu River sat with the two kids in the hospital room, starting to consider another practical issue.
—How to take care of them.
After thinking, Shi Suifeng patted Gu Ping on the shoulder:
"Gu Ping, Uncle has to go to work, and so does your aunt. Gu An needs to be hospitalized for a week, can you stay here during the day? I’ll find someone to help with toilet trips and such."
"I’ll come over at night to watch over you two while you rest. Is that okay?"
Gu Ping, of course, could only nod.
Fixing his leg already cost a lot. He looked up at the hanging glass bottles—glucose at 15 cents a bottle and some saline—there were two bottles there! They couldn’t throw away the IV bottles; they were too expensive.
And other medicines!
He looked at Shi Suifeng, feeling increasingly grateful at this moment.
Meanwhile, Chu River eagerly chimed in, "This really cost us a lot this time. You guys should never get sick. If you do, you can’t delay treatment, otherwise initially it doesn’t even cost this much."
"And you, Gu An, you better get well soon. Once you’re home, there’s a lot of work waiting for you! I’ll take Bao Ni home to familiarize first."
Gu Ping clenched his fists—just let Yun Baoni go back first. When Gu An gets better, the two brothers could do even more!
...
On the way back, they still hitched a ride on the army’s big truck, but Yun Baoni was no longer as silent and timid as before, now filled with anticipation and excitement.
Ha!
Now, she was the only child at home who could help with work, and her aunt would definitely value her the most!
By the time they got home, it was nearly dinner time again, and Shi Suifeng hurriedly prepared the dishes. Yun Baoni, familiar with the routine, headed straight to the stove to start the fire.
In the hot weather, her red face was covered in sweat, along with a slight upward curve of her lips.
Meanwhile, Chu River had found a pile of old newspapers and began measuring with a ruler. Each newspaper page was divided into various sizes and shapes—the car’s outer shell depended on these to ensure proper sizing and assembly!
Even the wheels and steering wheel were so intricately detailed that making them entirely out of tin or aluminum would be too much trouble. So, they decided to just cover the surface with a layer and use newspapers to make an internal model, then later find a carpenter to craft it.
