Chapter 116: Chapter 115: The Warm Sorrow of an Ordinary Family (Part 5 Updated)_1 Chapter 116: Chapter 115: The Warm Sorrow of an Ordinary Family (Part 5 Updated)_1 “I will take care, thank you, Doctor.” Yue Qiao expressed her thanks, then turned to look at her grandmother helplessly.
She had never even considered the problem of inadequate nutrition.
When she decided to join the military, Yue Qiao had emphasized countless times that her grandmother should not be too frugal. She left all the money she made from part-time jobs at home before leaving, and even decided to send all her military allowance home every month. Still, she never imagined that her grandmother would be like this, making her worry about her continued stay in the military.
The very reason why Yue Qiao chose to be a soldier was to make it more convenient for her grandmother to get medical care after she enlisted. There were also a few allowances that attracted her…her grandmother’s health was good, robust even, which is why Yue Qiao resolutely chose to join the military after careful consideration.
“Qiaqiao, I wanted to save the money for your dowry”, watching Yue Qiao, the grandmother’s face was still somewhat pale, but the smile on her face was warm.
Her usually indifferent ice-like eyes became teary at that moment, “I don’t need a dowry, I just need you to be healthy and by my side.” If her grandmother were no longer in this world, Yue Qiao did not know what reason she would have to go on.
“Qiaqiao…” Hearing Yue Qiao’s words, the grandmother sighed. Frosted by the years and her body’s ability inevitably declining, she did not know how much longer she could be by her side. Therefore, she thought she could at least leave something for her.
At home, the grandmother couldn’t do heavy work. Instead, she would do handiwork with neighbours in her spare time. By economizing on her daily life, she could support herself, not wanting to be a burden for Yue Qiao; she gave up her education and entered the military, all for her sake.
This made the grandmother feel heartache.
These were things Yue Qiao did not know because she did not permit her grandmother to work hard, so the grandmother always managed to do a little during Yue Qiao’s school and part-time work hours.
Looking at Yue Qiao and the grandmother, Ye Xiwen’s eyes also turned red. She was moved, but also envious to witness their bond.
Behind Ye Xiwen, Yang Yuebin and the other young masters remained silent, somewhat mesmerised. They never knew that their life could be so different, so far off track from Yue Qiao and her grandmother’s.
The gap between the rich and the poor, to the young masters, was actually not that understandable unless they experienced it personally. Only then would their attitudes change significantly.
“Grandmother, you can’t do this again,” Yue Qiao instructed, her speech slightly choked, and the grandmother nodded smiling, signalling her not to worry. Whether she could follow through, remained unseen.
At that moment, Mu Lin, this girl who was always cold, grew intrigued. Watching them, he couldn’t help thinking of his own master.
Looking at the two, Doctor Liu sighed slightly. Feeling a touch of sorrow, he advised, “I will prescribe some body conditioning medicine for the elder, remember to take them.”
“Alright, thank you, Doctor,” Yue Qiao nodded her thanks, her mind filled with thoughts.
Everyone’s attention was focused on Yue Qiao and her grandmother, so they didn’t notice that in the dark, Mu Lin’s fingertips had gently touched the grandmother’s wrist which she had placed underneath. It was so quick and light, even the grandmother herself didn’t notice it.
