Crossing over, and then being blocked by a rich JK

Chapter 74 Role reversal
At one o'clock in the afternoon, in a large department store near Yaleju.

"Did you tell him?"

On the basement floor, Hamabe Rie, who was pushing a shopping cart, turned her head and looked at her granddaughter who was standing in front of the fruit and vegetable shelf.

"said."

With the cold light pouring down from above her head, Hamabe Ryoko picked up two tomatoes and compared them carefully.

"What did Yuu say?"

Treating someone to a meal to express gratitude like this is not simply a matter of convenience for them, but also requires Watanabe Yu to have the time.

"He agreed."

Ryoko Hamabe put both tomatoes into the weighing bag.

The size, firmness, and color of the stems of these two tomatoes are all very good.

Today, she plans to try that Chinese dish again.

If all goes well, I can give him a surprise in the evening.

"……That's good."

Hearing this, Hamabe Rie breathed a sigh of relief.

"You helped us a lot this time, we should thank him very much."

She thought about it and gave another reminder.

"I know."

Ryoko Hamabe turned around, pulled off a weighing bag, and continued to pick up seasonal vegetables.

The cold light in the corridor poured down and sprinkled on the side of her face.

There was less indifference and alienation in her eyes, and more tranquility and leisure.

It looks inexplicably vivid.

"You don't need to worry too much about the loan. Grandma will find a way. Let's work together and we'll be able to pay it back soon."

As an elder, she could see it.

Ryoko has a very special feeling towards You.

Such emotion cannot be explained by simply saying "like".

It contains more emotions.

It is the extension and integration of feelings such as care, trust, reliance, longing, and liking.

This is a very complicated feeling.

It's exactly the same as she was back then.

"Grandma, you don't need to worry about borrowing money."

Ryoko Hamabe put the weighing bag full of seasonal vegetables into the shopping cart and pushed the cart to the weighing area in the fruit and vegetable area.

"It's not a question of whether I worry about it or not. It's a responsibility I should bear."

Hamabe Rie, who was walking beside her, corrected her.

"The doctor told you to rest."

Ryoko Hamabe handed the two weighing bags in the cart to the staff.

"Please weigh it, thank you."

After saying that, she turned around, looked at her grandmother, and explained in a low voice.

"I'll find an easier job when the time comes, and I'll be able to pay off the money soon."

When she was discharged from the hospital this morning, the cost on the receipt completely shocked her.

It wasn't that the cost was too high, but it was much cheaper than she had imagined.

The total cost of surgery, hospitalization, and medication was less than 220 million yen, or 2 yen.

Adding the living expenses for her grandmother to return home, the amount was much less than what she expected to owe Watanabe Yu.

All in all, it's 55 yen. If she works a little harder, she can take on another job.

Maybe it's just hard work for half a year.

She could totally accept this kind of hardship.

"If we pay it back together, we can pay it back faster."

Yes, Hamabe Rie knew in her heart that Ryoko was telling the truth.

But she couldn't really watch her granddaughter work hard to pay back the debt alone.

"My grandma can't do heavy physical work, but she can do odd jobs."

The doctor also said that proper exercise would help her recover faster.

"Is that what the doctor said?"

Hamabe Ryoko asked back.

"……Yes."

Hamabe Rie's voice suddenly became much quieter.

At this moment, the identities of the grandparents and grandchildren seemed to have been swapped.

"The doctor told me that the most important thing for you to do now is to rest, not..."

"Sir, your things have been weighed."

"…Sorry, I wasn't paying attention."

Interrupted, Hamabe Ryoko quickly turned around, nodded apologetically to the staff, and then put the weighed and priced fruits and vegetables into the cart.

"It's okay. I'm not busy right now."

The staff smiled and shook their heads.

From the few words just now, she had already guessed the relationship between this young girl and the older old lady.

Combined with the key words in the conversation between the two people, you can quickly grasp the main point.

She has always had a good sense for filial young people.

"I'm causing you trouble."

Hamabe Ryoko lowered her head and apologized sincerely.

Then he pushed the cart and walked out of the fruit and vegetable area with Hamabe Rie, and followed the signs to the fresh meat area.

"The doctor told me that what you need now is rest, not high-intensity activities."

After the two walked side by side for two steps, Hamabe Ryoko opened the conversation again. "Yes, moderate exercise every day can speed up recovery, but how can the word 'moderate' be so easy to control?"

This is especially true after starting work.

Work doesn't care whether you do it in moderation or not.

"Grandma just had a minor surgery."

Hamabe Rie solemnly corrected Hamabe Ryoko's statement.

"It's not what you young people call 'return to the factory for overhaul'. I can still do some easy work."

She was familiar with her granddaughter's personality.

It is clear that with Ryoko's temper, this girl can only get out of that dilemma after paying back the money to Watanabe Yu.

Face your true self calmly.

But the problem is, based on her experience as a person who has been through it.

In love, when you discover a hidden treasure, it means that other people are also eyeing this treasure.

Hesitation at this time is fatal.

She didn't want Ryoko to regret it.

"Grandma, your first priority now is to take good care of your health. Everything else is secondary."

Hamabe Ryoko slowed down and looked into the refrigerator.

Today's beef seems pretty good, and the price is barely acceptable.

"That……"

"It's nothing, grandma. Just think about it. What if a small amount of money directly leads to complications that shouldn't have happened? What should we do then?"

Hamabe Ryoko turned her head and met Hamabe Rie's gaze.

"Isn't this just losing the big picture for the small?"

She is becoming more and more proficient in communicating with her grandmother.

"..."

Hamabe Rie fell silent.

She didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Besides, like I said before, you are my only relative, grandma. I can't lose you again."

"…How should Grandma respond to this?"

Hamabe Rie sighed helplessly.

Her path was completely blocked.

"Grandma just needs to rest and recover in peace."

Ryoko Hamabe pointed to the piece of beef in the freezer.

"What do you think of that piece of meat?"

She changed the subject.

"good."

Hamabe Rie sighed inwardly.

Ryoko is very similar to her, both are equally stubborn.

"Then take this one!"

Ryoko Hamabe opened the freezer, took out the cut and priced beef, and put it in the cart.

"Ryoko."

Hamabe Rie thought about it and decided to explain those things to her clearly.

"You say."

“Sometimes, we can live according to our own ideas, no matter how difficult life is.”

She was really afraid that Ryoko would get too obsessed with something.

"……I know."

Hamabe Ryoko paused and gave her answer.

"That's good."

Seeing that Ryoko no longer said things like "I'm not qualified" like she did before, Hamabe Rie breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, Yuu really likes tonkatsu, so let's buy some more of this."

She mentioned this meaningfully.

"I know this."

Hamabe Ryoko nodded and said this quite calmly.

How could she not know?

She had brought him a lunch box before!

"Relatively speaking, he prefers those that are aged at a lower temperature."

Hamabe Rie added.

"Why didn't you tell me that before?"

"Before?"

Hamabe Rie gave a mischievous smile.

"Because you were very opposed to me sending gifts to You before."

"……grandmother!"

Hamabe Ryoko grumbled in dissatisfaction.

"Also, his taste is heavier than ours. If you sprinkle some chili powder on the fried pork chops, he will like it more. Remember?"

Hamabe Rie gave another instruction.

"remember!"

She nodded heavily.
