Rebirth Era: After the Beautiful Sister-in-law Refuses to Open Business

"Okay, old man, I'm waiting for your good news."

Old Master Chen nodded slightly, and at the same time a hint of relief appeared in his eyes, but it was fleeting and was not seen by Chen Dongxu.

About half an hour later, Chen Dongxu went to the main house and sat with the still sleeping old lady Chen for a while. Then, he said goodbye to old man Chen and returned to the courtyard alone.

"How long have I slept?"

After watching Chen Dongxu leave the courtyard, Mr. Chen returned to the house and heard the voice of Old Lady Chen.

"Less than an hour."

Mr. Chen walked to the bedside, helped Mrs. Chen sit on the bedside, and considerately put a big soft pillow behind Mrs. Chen's back, and then said, "Xiao Xu is back, and his leg has completely recovered just like he said on the phone."

"What about people?"

Old Mrs. Chen smiled, but her eyes were looking towards the door.

"He went back to the compound and said he would come back tomorrow."

After a pause, Old Man Chen continued, "However, before Xiaoxu returned to the compound, he came into the house to see you and suggested that I ask Dr. Song to check your health. It can be seen that the child always misses you, his grandmother, no matter where he is!"

"Doesn't my grandson miss you, an old man?"

Staring at Mr. Chen, Mrs. Chen said, "You are such a fool. Since Xiaoxu is back, why don't you think of waking me up?"

There was a hint of resentment in his tone. Hearing this, Old Master Chen felt wronged. He said, "When Xiaoxu came to the courtyard, you had just fallen asleep. When he left, it wasn't that I didn't want to wake you up, but it was your precious grandson who wouldn't let me. He was worried that you didn't get enough rest and that it would affect your recovery."

"You know what's wrong with my body. If I could recover by sleeping more, why would I have to rest so carefully for so many years?" Not to mention other things, the money spent on the precious medicinal materials alone was not a small amount.

Add to that the expenses of frequent hospitalizations and various examinations, to be honest, Old Mrs. Chen often feels sorry for her family and that she is a burden. Sometimes she can't help but think, how nice it would be if one day she could fall asleep and never wake up again... At least that would make life easier for the old man and her children and grandchildren in the future.

No need to worry about her broken body all the time.

But when she thought of that child, that... that child whom she had never held properly since she gave birth, and who was then entrusted to a fellow villager to take care of, she couldn't bear to let him die in such a deep sleep.

She wanted to find him, find him while she was still alive, even if it was just to see him once, so... so that she could die with her eyes closed!

Seeing that Old Lady Chen was lost in her own thoughts, Old Master Chen knew what Old Lady Chen was thinking without having to think too much. He said, "Don't say discouraging words. Think about Old Second. If you can get better, maybe one day you will really see him come back to us."

Hearing Mr. Chen's voice, Mrs. Chen was undoubtedly pulled back to her senses. She was a little disappointed at first, but soon her eyes showed hope: "Old man, are you sure we can wait until that day?"

"As long as you are well, you can!"

Mr. Chen's tone was unusually certain, but only he knew that he was just trying to comfort his wife so that she could hold on to hope and recuperate.

After all, decades have passed, and it is not easy to find someone!

What's more, the person they were looking for was just a newborn baby back then. Now, many years have passed. Even if he was lucky enough to be alive, they didn't know what he would look like now. What's more, they didn't even have a photo of the child when he was a baby. If they wanted to reunite the family in their lifetime, they had to pray for God to send the child directly to them.

Old Master Chen thought so and continued, "Back then, you entrusted your second child to that fellow villager for care and left half of the jade pendant as a token of your recognition in the future.

Besides, the second child is our biological child, and his facial features are more or less similar to yours and mine. He might take the initiative to come to Beijing to look for us later."

"But I left in a hurry, and only told Sister Huaihua to call me Xiao He. I didn't leave her my name or my unit number..." Old Mrs. Chen's eyes were filled with sadness:

"Even if Sister Huaihua told the second brother about his life story after he could remember things, and gave him the half of the jade pendant I left behind, he would probably have a hard time finding us."

Although the surname He is not as common as the four major surnames Zhang, Wang, Li and Zhao, there are still quite a few people with the surname He across the country. Even if it is just her age, there are probably quite a few female comrades who have served in the army.

Ordinary farmers don’t have many connections, so how can they find people in the army?

"How about we send out a missing person notice through the newspaper?"

Mr. Chen gave advice.

Old Mrs. Chen smiled bitterly: "Is it useful?" Since the founding of the country, they have published missing person notices in newspapers for more than ten years. As a result, many people came to recognize their relatives, but more than half of them came under false names with the intention of taking advantage of the situation.

Although a few of them did not come to her house with selfish motives, they were not her second son whom she gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy.

During those years, her mood changed from surprise to loss over and over again, causing her already poor health to become even weaker. Eventually, the old man had to stop sending out missing person notices to prevent her body from experiencing the constant ups and downs and causing major problems!

"Whether it's useful or not, we've stopped doing this for years. If we re-post the missing person notice now, if the kid or his children see it, won't we have a chance to meet and reunite?!"

After listening to what Mr. Chen said, Mrs. Chen thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's do as you say."

compound.

Zhang Huaben and Wen Mei, Fu Jinheng's mother, were sitting in the living room chatting when they suddenly saw Chen Dongxu walk in from outside. Her expression was one of shock.

"Aunt Zhang was surprised to see me walking into the house?"

Chen Dongxu raised the corner of his mouth, looking a little cynical, and looked directly at his stepmother Zhang Hua. However, he did not wait for her to respond. He moved his gaze to Wen Mei and greeted her politely.

Seeing that the atmosphere between Chen Dongxu and Zhang Hua was not right, Wen Mei stood up and congratulated Chen Dongxu. There was no doubt that she was congratulating Chen Dongxu on the recovery of his legs. Then, she said hello to Zhang Hua and went back to her home.

Speaking of which, Wen Mei was actually also shocked that Chen Dongxu walked into the door by himself. After all, almost everyone in the compound knew that Chen Dongxu had disabled legs and would be a disabled person for the rest of his life.

But today, just a few months after Chen Dongxu became disabled in both legs, and predicted by experts at a large hospital that it would be difficult for him to stand up again, he has recovered to the state he was in before his legs were broken.

This is simply a miracle!

But Wen Mei was certain, that is, she had not heard that the Chen family had found any famous doctor to treat Chen Dongxu's legs in the past few months. She only learned from Zhang Hua that Chen Dongxu had been living in the courtyard outside to accompany the old man and the old lady of the Chen family for some time before the New Year and since the New Year.

Could it be that the Chen family deliberately hid it from Zhang Hua and asked a famous doctor to treat Chen Dongxu's legs?
