Chapter 55(1/2)
"No, that broken TV is more than ten years old and is about to be scrapped."
"The bed boards will become rotten over time."
"You can't say it was the old man who broke it. Don't keep talking about it all day long."
Ye Guo was anxious.
My old man goes out every day, even if he sits in the park, he doesn't want to come back.
She didn't come back until dinner time because of Chen Meimei's temper.
Chen Meimei put her hands on her hips and glared at Ye Guo, puffing out her chest and saying, "You can buy new ones if you can!"
"Didn't I give you all my salary?!"
"Isn't that what it should be? Go out and ask, which man's salary is not controlled by his wife?"
"But then you have to give me money so that I can buy new ones."
"He broke it, why should I pay for it?!"
"My salary is stuck in your hands."
"What's your salary card? This is our common property! If my father hadn't put you in the hospital, you would still be farming in the countryside!"
"..."
The couple got into an argument.
Ye Xiaofan sighed secretly.
If this family can survive, it can be considered a success.
How can the uncle endure it?
He doesn't even have the right to control his own salary.
"Auntie, my dad gives you a thousand yuan every month, right?" Ye Xiaofan suddenly spoke up, interrupting the quarrel between the two.
Chen Meimei sneered, "The rent is free, right? Go out and ask how expensive the rent is in the county!"
"Your grandpa goes to the hospital every month to see a doctor and get medicine without spending any money?"
"How much is left?"
"Your cousin is going to college soon, and the expenses are huge. You can't ask me to give the old man some money, right?"
"..."
Chen Meimei is confident.
Ye Xiaofan couldn't defeat her, he sighed and shook his head.
Ye Guo felt aggrieved and embarrassed.
"I went upstairs to take a look. Grandpa said there were mice in the house. They were scurrying around every night and he couldn't sleep."
Ye Xiaofan was too lazy to continue arguing.
There are already plans to take grandpa back to the village.
But I have to discuss it with my parents first and clear out the room.
"That's true. I heard from Ye Guo that your dog is very good at catching mice?"
Chen Meimei's eyes lit up. It would be great to be able to get rid of mice in the house without spending a penny.
"How much did this Tibetan Mastiff cost? Is it expensive?"
"Your family had a bumper cherry harvest, and I should have made a lot of money. Don't be stingy, be generous to the old man, and give me more money."
"Prices have skyrocketed these days, and even a thousand yuan is not enough."
Chen Meimei followed him upstairs, nagging behind, asking about Ye Xiaofan's family's financial situation.
"Hmm..." Ye Xiaofan agreed casually, becoming more determined to take his grandfather back.
Is it inconvenient to see a doctor or buy medicine?
It is very convenient to buy my own car and take the old man in and out.
If that doesn't work, then why not rent a house in the city?
Ye Xiaofan came up with many backup plans.
We can't let the old man continue to suffer from this bitch's arrogance.
Ye Xiaofan let go of his spiritual consciousness and searched all the way up.
Up to the top of the sixth floor, there is an undecorated rooftop outside the door.
There were a lot of faint smells in the two rooms in the corridor, about a dozen mice, hiding in dark and hidden corners.
"Isn't this the room where grandpa lives?"
Ye Xiaofan looked at a small, cramped room next to the utility room, with the door half open.
There is a broken table and chairs, an old black and white TV and radio, and a wooden stool in the corner holding a stained electric fan and a chipped cattail leaf fan.
A broken bed made of simple wooden boards,
The room was extremely shabby.
Ye Xiaofan asked subconsciously.
"How is that possible!" Chen Meimei smiled awkwardly, "The old man lives on the third floor. The room is beautiful."
"Take me to see it!"
Ye Xiaofan ordered without refusal.
"What are you doing? You don't even believe what my eldest aunt says?" Chen Meimei asked with her hands on her hips.
Ye Guo's eyes dodge and he doesn't dare to answer.
"Uncle, grandpa is quite old. Even if you have a bad attitude, how can you let him live in a place like this?"
"It's hot in summer and cold in winter. There's a utility room next to it. How can there be no mice?"
"I will take grandpa back to the countryside now!"
Ye Xiaofan couldn't bear it any longer, and his head was filled with anger.
As far as he knew, when he sent his grandfather over a few years ago, Ye Guolai showed his father the bedroom where the old man lived.
After that, they had a preconceived idea that the old man was living a good life.
So every time during holidays, when Ye Xiaofan came to visit the old man, he never asked about the accommodation conditions.
The old man also acted like I was very good.
The eldest aunt has a bad temper, but she won't abuse the old man, right?
Ye Xiaofan was wrong.
This fat bitch is so outrageous!
And he caught a shitty mouse.
Ye Xiaofan stormed downstairs.
In the past, I had no choice, my family had no money, and Ye Xiaofan was unable to be financially independent, so he couldn't care about this at all.
but now……
The old man is too old to suffer here.
"Xiaofan, Xiaofan..." Ye Guo tried to call out to Ye Xiaofan.
"What are you shouting for? It's just the right time to bring him back. I've had enough. I've taken care of this old man for more than three years and took care of him all the time. How come I'm wronging him by letting him live in a small room?"
"Beautiful girl!"
"What the hell, if you dare to yell at me again, get out of here!"
Chen Meimei cursed loudly.
Ye Guo was so angry that he trembled and threw the broom on the stairs, but he did not dare to scold him back.
…
Ye Xiaofan went out and got on the tricycle.
"Grandpa, where are you?"
"I... am watching people playing chess in the pedestrian street park. Are you in the county seat?"
On the other end of the phone was a kind old voice.
"I'll go find you."
Ye Xiaofan found his grandfather Ye Dayu in the pedestrian street.
The old man has gray hair and a thin figure.
