Sister Chen took Granny Zhang’s hand, "Don’t say that. People eat grains, it’s normal to get ill. Plus, it’s not a serious sickness. We’ll take good care of you, and in a while, you’ll be better."
Xinyan walked in from outside, "Dad, you’re here."
After speaking, she noticed Sister Chen on the other side, nodded and smiled at her, "Dad, why did you bring Aunt Chen with you?"
Han Jingchen said, "You have classes, Jinxuan has work, so I thought it’d be good for Sister Chen to come and help take care for a few days, so you can focus on your classes and work."
Just as he finished speaking, someone walked in from the doorway.
Xinyan turned to see, "Aunt, Uncle, why are you here?"
Han Chunxue teased a bit, "Such a big event happened and you didn’t even tell us. You really are bold. Luckily, your dad told me. Thank goodness for Jinxuan. Just look at you."
Xinyan stuck her tongue out, "I was so busy I just forgot."
Han Chunxue walked to the bedside, "Aunt, I came to see you."
Granny Zhang, knowing her illness had alarmed everyone, felt a bit guilty, "Oh dear, I’ve really troubled you all, making you come here so early."
Sister Chen made room, Han Chunxue took Granny Zhang’s hand, "Aunt, you shouldn’t say that. You’re the benefactor of our Yanyan. If not for you, she would have suffered a lot.
Now, since you’re sick, of course she should treat you well.
We all feel the same way about you. Just relax and be at ease. The bond between you and us began with your kindness to Xinyan. We’re family now, and with family, there’s no need to be polite."
Han Chunxue’s words might not have been eloquent, but they were her heartfelt thoughts. Granny Zhang was Xinyan’s benefactor, thus also Han Chunxue’s benefactor, and naturally the benefactor of the Han Family.
Xinyan wanted to take care of Granny Zhang in her old age; none of the Han Family opposed it, as one should know gratitude and repay kindness.
Granny Zhang heard these words and thought: What virtue and ability do I have to meet Xinyan and the Han Family? She then looked at Xinyan standing at the bedside, her eyes filled with gratitude, "Alright, family. I am no longer a lone old woman."
Since everyone had to work, they didn’t stay long, and as Han Jingchen suggested, Sister Chen stayed to take care.
Xinyan was also urged away by Granny Zhang, "You hurry back to your classes. I have Aunt Chen taking care of me here."
Xinyan couldn’t refuse, as Granny Zhang was worried about her missing classes and sternly said, "If you don’t leave, discharge me for recovery at home."
Xinyan had to compromise.
During this period, she asked for leave from her mentor, not going to him in the evenings, but instead she brought materials to study on her own, while also taking care of Granny Zhang.
With the Space Stream Water aiding Granny Zhang’s recovery, and Sister Chen indeed looking after her well, within a few days, she was discharged.
Since there was still another surgery to be done, Sister Chen temporarily stayed here, agreeing that after the next surgery was done and after discharge, Granny Zhang and Sister Chen would return to the suburban house.
This made it convenient for Sister Chen to care for her, and Granny Zhang wouldn’t have to move around; after all, they were sure to go back there for the New Year.
Sister Chen was truly capable. With her there, Xinyan didn’t have much to do, as she cared very well for both Xinyan and Granny Zhang.
Soon, Xinyan faced the end-of-term exams, which might be a torment for many students, though for Xinyan, they were a breeze.
