Chapter 338: Chapter 339 I Am Rich

"Grandpa, you, you need to live a long and healthy life, and enjoy your good fortune," Ji Ying’s voice was naturally soft and tender, and when she deliberately softened it further, it became sweet and soft, just like a coquettish protest, yet not the kind that’s cloyingly sweet and gives one goosebumps.

"That’s right, Grandpa, you haven’t even seen me get a wife and have children yet."

Xu Nian’an immediately joined the conversation, his eyes lighting up, as he said, "Right, it’s been many years since you saw Big Brother, hasn’t it?"

"Big Brother couldn’t come to see you because his wife is pregnant and about to give birth," Xu Nian’an said cheerfully, coaxing Ji Xinghua, "Grandpa, you have to stay healthy to see your great-grandchild be born."

"Good, good, good."

Ji Xinghua’s face broke into a smile, "I must see this great-grandchild of mine."

"Dad, let me tell you some good news. Qinghe has started a furniture factory at home with his apprentice. Although it’s just beginning, it will surely make money in the future."

"And I’m working at the Chili Factory in the county, I can make a good amount of money each month, even more than they make working in a factory."

Ji Ying rattled on, picking out only the pleasant things to say, "As for your eldest grandson, he’s doing really well now, just got married, and is also selling sprouts; he can make quite a lot each month."

"That impressive?"

Pride and admiration filled Ji Xinghua’s eyes.

"Yes, Dad, you always worried about us in the past, but now, you don’t have to worry. Our days will get better and better." Ji Ying felt she had been too careless. How could she have neglected to visit her father just because her brothers said he was in good health?

Even though the household was busy, no matter how busy, they should not have neglected Dad.

Looking up with her eyes red and swollen from crying, Ji Ying held his hand, thin to the bone, and said, "Dad, we’ll go to the hospital for treatment right after this."

"No."

As soon as Ji Xinghua heard that, he immediately shook his head. Three thousand yuan, even though his daughter’s family was now doing well, the whole family had expenses, and the grandson’s wife was about to give birth, there would be many more expenses in the future; they could not spend so much money because of an old man’s illness.

"Dad, listen to me." Ji Ying rarely took a strong stance, her gaze intense as she looked at him and said, "Dad, you must go to the hospital for treatment. I don’t want to see you suffering from pain again and again."

Ji Xinghua’s lips quivered, but before he could speak, Ji Ying, with full confidence, said, "Dad, rest assured, I have money."

In that moment, Ji Ying felt that her hard work getting up early and staying up late was worth it.

If she were still her former self, she couldn’t possibly say with such confidence at this moment: I have money.

"Yingying." Ji Xinghua’s eyes instantly reddened.

In the past half-month, during times when Ji Xinghua was in unbearable pain, he even thought about ending his life, but the thought of his daughter, whom he had not seen for a long time, made him endure it time and again.

His youngest son and the other two had discussed his treatment; he knew all too well. The three brothers had managed to gather only a thousand yuan; Shuyuan had scraped together a bit over a hundred, and as for the rest...

Ji Xinghua was clear in his heart; gathering three thousand was not easy.

His son came home late every night, and his daughter-in-law worked too, both returning late each day as if they were deliberately avoiding him. He understood that the surgery couldn’t happen.

But he blamed no one, the children had their own burdens, and he couldn’t selfishly drag them down because of his illness.

Even Ji Xinghua had prepared for the long haul, waiting until he could no longer bear it, and then he would have them call Ji Ying back to see him one last time.
