Old Lady Zhang's Rebirth: Going Mad! Severing Ties with Family! Becoming Incredibly Rich!

I saw Zhao Jinzhong kneel down.

Li Shufen finally felt a release from her chest.

"Hey? What are you doing? Get up, get up!"

Seeing that she had enough of the teasing, Li Shufen decided to stop while she was ahead. She sighed and turned to pull Zhao Jinzhong away, saying, "Hey! You silly child, Auntie never said you two should separate."

"Thank you, Auntie, thank you, Auntie."

After getting up, Zhao Jinzhong didn't dare to stay idle. He opened the thermos and said, "Auntie, Mingyu said you haven't eaten yet. This is dinner I specially brought for you. Please eat some."

Even the chopsticks were handed over with both hands.

Li Shufen was very satisfied with his attitude and nodded, saying, "Jinzhong is very thoughtful."

Seeing the large bone in the thermos with not a single piece of meat, Li Shufen's lips twitched, but she couldn't make things difficult for Zhao Jinzhong for a piece of meat, so she picked up the thermos and scooped out the noodles inside to eat.

Zhao Jinzhong then diligently opened a can of food for Song Mingyu, wiping the spoon in the mesh bag until it shone before handing it to her. Song Mingyu enjoyed Zhao Jinzhong's flattery, raising her chin like a proud peacock.

The mother and daughter ate and talked.

No one asked Zhao Jinzhong if he had eaten or if he was hungry.

Zhao Jinzhong's stomach was rumbling.

He arrived in a hurry, only concerned with buying food for Li Shufen and Song Mingyu, and didn't eat anything himself.

Zhao Jinzhong was tall and strong, and had a big appetite. The work at the machinery factory was quite hard, and after a day's work, he had nothing in his stomach and was feeling a little anxious.

Although he bought a lot of snacks, no one offered him any, and he didn't dare to take any himself.

Zhao Jinzhong forced himself to remain silent.

The thermos was borrowed from the restaurant owner with a deposit paid. After Li Shufen finished eating, Zhao Jinzhong took the thermos to the water room to wash it.

Zhao Jinzhong had just left.

Song Mingyu opened the net bag, took out the pastries inside, and said with a pout, "You only know how to buy these worthless things."

"They always say they'd give me their life, but all they give me are things nobody wants."

Li Shufen glanced at the doorway, glared at Song Mingyu, and said, "Keep your voice down."

Song Mingyu didn't take it to heart. "Washing things doesn't take that long. Besides, I didn't say anything. If Zhao Jinzhong were here, I would have said the same thing."

The parchment paper wrapped around the pastries was opened, and Song Mingyu fed her mother chicken cake.

Li Shufen ate one but refused to eat any more. She lowered her voice and said, "Hide it in the cupboard later. Don't let your sister-in-law see it when she comes to visit me tomorrow. Her little brat is just as greedy as her. If he sees you having something delicious, he'll definitely beg for it."

"Mom, eat more. I'll hide it after you've finished eating."

Li Shufen felt comforted and pulled Song Mingyu to sit on the edge of the bed. She then spoke of Zhao Jinzhong, saying, "Zhao Jinzhong is very obedient to you and is a reliable person. When you get along with him, be careful not to drive him away."

Song Mingyu disagreed, "Mom, you're wrong. Zhao Jinzhong and I aren't married yet, so of course he's very obedient to me. Who knows if he'll change after we get married? I need to mold his personality while we're dating, so that he'll still listen to me after we get married."

It also makes sense.

Li Shufen didn't say anything more.

They say they look down on it.

In fact, Li Shufen was quite satisfied with the Zhao family and Zhao Jinzhong.

Zhao Jinzhong was a factory worker with a high salary, and he was willing to spend it on Mingyu.

His appearance was also impeccable. In an era where ruggedness is considered beautiful, Zhao Jinzhong was tall and imposing, the kind of look that any mother-in-law would immediately fall for.

The Zhao family is also well-off; both parents are factory workers. When they retire, they will not only not be a burden on their children, but they can also provide some financial support.

If one had to nitpick, it would be that the Zhao family has too many children, which would prevent Zhao Binghe and Zhang Guiying from wholeheartedly supporting Zhao Jinzhong's small family in the future.

Fortunately, Zhao Jinzhong's siblings all have jobs and do not need his help.

Zhao Jinzhong's elder brother and sister-in-law are still college students, and they might be able to help their siblings in the future.

More importantly, the Zhao family owns their own house, unlike the houses allocated by their work units. The Zhao family's house is their own and has a property ownership certificate.

"Is that house really theirs? Zhao Binghe isn't from the city either. Mingyu, marriage is a once-in-a-lifetime event. Don't be fooled."

"I'm not stupid, I would have asked earlier."

Song Mingyu ate the sponge cake in small bites. "That house was bought for Zhang Guiying by Zhao Jinzhong's grandparents before she got married. I've seen the property certificate; it's in Zhang Guiying's name."

"Thirty years ago, they had the money to buy a house for their daughter. Zhang Guiying's family must have been quite wealthy."

"That's right."

Song Mingyu shared the information she had learned from Zhao Jinzhong with her mother. "Zhao Jinzhong said that his maternal grandfather's family used to be imperial chefs and were quite wealthy. But after the war broke out, only his maternal grandfather's lineage remained. His maternal grandparents not only bought houses for Zhang Guiying, but his uncle and his aunt also did."

Li Shufen exclaimed "Goodness!" and even casually cursed "capitalist."

He was making plans in his mind.

When Mingyu gets married, we need to get more benefits for her from the Zhao family.

Zhao Jinzhong stayed with the mother and daughter at the hospital until almost 10 o'clock. Everyone else in the ward had fallen asleep, and Li Shufen herself couldn't stay up any longer. She politely said, "Jinzhong, you have to go to work tomorrow. Go home and rest early."

"Auntie, how about I stay and keep you company tonight?"

Zhao Jinzhong felt sorry for Song Mingyu. Last night, Mingyu stayed with him, and today she stayed with him all day. After working for a whole day and night, Mingyu must be exhausted.

"No need, no need. You work so hard, you won't have the energy to work during the day if you don't sleep well at night. Besides, it's not very convenient for a grown man like you. Mingyu can keep you company tonight. Your mother can come and relieve Mingyu tomorrow, so it won't interfere with Mingyu's work."

No IV drips at night, and no need for all sorts of unnecessary tests.

Song Mingyu said she was staying overnight, but in reality, the mother and daughter could squeeze into the hospital bed and sleep together, which wasn't tiring at all. If it weren't for that, Li Shufen would never have let her daughter stay at the hospital; she would have brought her daughter-in-law over long ago.

It's different during the day.

If you need to eat, drink, or receive intravenous fluids, you will inevitably need to urinate and defecate.

Zhang Guiying is here.

You can help her with things like emptying her bladder and bowels.

Zhang Guiying is always busy running errands for any examinations that need to be done; she would never let her daughter do these things.

When Li Shufen told Zhao Jinzhong to have Zhang Guiying come over tomorrow, Zhao Jinzhong's expression stiffened.

Li Shufen keenly sensed something was wrong. "What's wrong? Your mother can't come tomorrow? It's okay if she can't. I can just have Sister-in-law Mingyu take a day off to stay with her at the hospital."

That's what they say.

But his face clearly showed his displeasure.

Zhao Jinzhong quickly said, "No, that's not true. My mom will definitely be here tomorrow. That's settled then, Auntie. I'll head back now and have my mom come to change Mingyu tomorrow morning."

Song Mingyu pouted and said, "You can't be late again tomorrow."

Zhao Jinzhong reluctantly agreed.

He was thinking to himself that when he got home, even if he got beaten and scolded, he had to convince his mother to come to the hospital tomorrow, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to explain himself.
