Chapter 1299: My Grandpa Will Share Half with You
Chapter 1299: Chapter 1299: My Grandpa Will Share Half with You Two days later, Mr. Miao passed away. The only girl he couldn’t let go of was being cared for by her sworn friends, and the Tang Jun family was grateful. This time, Tang Jun’s entire family nearly gathered together.
Mr. Miao’s funeral was very grand.
Almost every household in Changshui Village had benefited from Mr. Miao’s kindness, so when he passed away, the villagers helped out voluntarily.
With the assistance of the villagers, Grandpa Xu, Tang Yue, and the whole family bid farewell to Mr. Miao.
The house where the grandfather and granddaughter used to live was now cold and empty.
The girl, overwhelmed with grief, had fainted twice from crying. Her appetite had vanished over the past few days, making her look even thinner, as if a gust of wind could topple her. Her fragile state evoked even more sympathy.
"Girl, I know you’re hurt. It’s okay to cry it out."
Tang Yue stepped forward and hugged the girl tenderly. She felt deeply for this child who was so young yet so alone in the world—a feeling Tang Yue herself had experienced. Yet the girl was so much younger...
Why must heaven be so ruthless in taking away Grandpa Miao’s life?
Tang Yue also pitied this poor child. She said, "Girl, from now on, I’m your real sister. We are all your family."
"That’s right, girl, you’ve always called me Brother Tang, haven’t you?"
Tang Jun’s eyes were red. If it hadn’t been for Mr. Miao, he wouldn’t know where his life would be now.
"Woo woo."
The caring faces around her made the girl even more emotional. She wanted to cry, and she began with a loud "wah," bursting into tears. Her suppressed cries escalated into sobs that truly expressed her pain.
Outside the house.
Grandpa Xu and Tang Zhengde stayed outside, listening to the crying inside, and finally felt relieved.
If the girl didn’t vent her grief, keeping it bottled up would harm her physically.
After the girl cried enough, Tang Yue said, "Girl, whether it’s at Grandpa Xu’s or with us, you’ll always be welcome."
"Do you remember Zaozao and Chenchen? You can go to school with them and have companions."
Tang Yue sincerely invited the girl to come and stay with her.
"No, thank you, Sister Tang." The girl wiped away her tears and said, "I want to follow Grandpa’s wishes and learn Chinese medicine from Grandpa Xu. I want to truly use the medical books Grandpa left me."
"I promised Grandpa."
The girl’s choked voice was hoarse. Her tear-stained face, gasping, said, "I’ll be obedient. I won’t disappoint Grandpa."
Tang Yue and Tang Jun exchanged a look. They both had the same thought: to help her more in the future.
...
"Grandpa Xu, I want to go to Jing City after the seventh day. Is that okay?" The girl pleaded with Grandpa Xu.
Grandpa Xu nodded without hesitation, "Okay, we’ll accompany Grandpa for a few more days, and then go back to Jing City with me."
"Girl, is there anything you want to take with you?" Grandpa Xu asked again.
Most of the things in this house were handcrafted by Mr. Miao.
"No."
The girl shook her head. Except for the most important medical books Grandpa left her, she didn’t want to take anything else.
Going to Jing City with Grandpa Xu was fulfilling Grandpa’s last wish. She wanted to study well and learn more knowledge. She wanted to keep everything here just as it was so that when she returned, it would feel like Grandpa was still around.
Seven days flew by in the blink of an eye.
After crying their heart out initially, the girl seemed to mature and grow in just a few days.
The girl packed a few clothes and brought two books as she left with Grandpa Xu.
One was a medical book, and the other was an English book given by Zaozao.
Only after the girl had settled in Jing City did Tang Jun and Tang Yue return to their home.
"Si Yu, we all need to be well."
Tang Yue held Meng Siyu’s hand tightly, leaning on his shoulder, earnestly speaking.
Mr. Miao’s passing had weighed heavily on Tang Yue’s heart.
"We will, we all will be." Meng Siyu firmly reassured her. "We won’t need to worry about the girl in the future. We’ll visit her often, and Chenchen can accompany her. She’s a girl, and we must look after her like she’s family."
"Yes."
Tang Yue nodded; it didn’t need explaining. Upon returning, she’d have Chenchen accompany the girl.
Tomorrow was the weekend.
"Sister Miao Xin."
Chenchen ran over and hugged the girl, Miao Xin, who learned from her mother that Miao Xin’s grandpa was gone. Chenchen hugged Miao Xin and said, "Shall I share half of my grandpa with you? I have two grandpas, so I’ll share one with you."
"Pfft~"
Miao Xin was amused by Chenchen’s words. She said, "Chenchen, how can you share grandpa with me? Grandpa isn’t fruit, nor candy."
"Uh."
Chenchen tilted her head, thinking, then said, "I’ll share half of the good things Grandpa bought with you."
"Thank you, Chenchen, but it’s okay. I have a grandpa." Miao Xin smiled, feeling grateful to Sister Tang for sending Chenchen to accompany her, definitely worried about her feelings.
As Miao Xin pondered this, looking at Chenchen as a little treasure, her loneliness gradually faded away.
...
"Xiao Jun, what’s going on with you and Yuan Yu? Has it just ended like this?" Tang Yue inquired.
"Sis, I won’t give up."
Tang Jun spoke resolutely.
No matter how Yuan Yu refused him, he would never push her away nor give up on her in this lifetime.
"I was planning to visit Sister Li in Jin City. What about you?" Tang Jun asked.
"I’d like to go, but I can’t leave."
Tang Yue refused helplessly, saying, "After Mr. Miao’s situation, I’ve been away for quite a few days. If I leave again, An Yu, no, Chu Ling might come looking."
Now that Qin Anyu is pregnant, Chu Ling has been meticulously managing Star Bright to prevent Anyu from being disturbed by work. With her workload not keeping up, Chu Ling would surely come urging, afraid of disturbing the pregnant Qin Anyu.
"Okay then."
Tang Jun didn’t insist. His own sister was a busy person too, so he bought a bunch of things and headed straight to Zhu Liniang’s shop in Jin City.
When he arrived at Zhu Liniang’s shop, Tang Jun unexpectedly found Yuan Yu there!
He hadn’t seen Yuan Yu for a long time. She looked a bit thinner, wearing a purple sweater that highlighted her fair skin, giving her an elegant and charming appearance.
Tang Jun couldn’t help but be captivated. Since their last encounter, he hadn’t really been able to take a good look at Yuan Yu.
