Chapter 301 - 296: Phoenix Man
"Must be tired from the ride, hurry back to the room and sit down." Granny Liu casually wiped her hands and was about to help Zhang Meng carry the suitcase.
"Auntie, I’m not tired, the suitcase is a bit heavy, I can carry it myself."
"Oh dear, us city girls don’t have the strength that comes from doing farm work every day, I better do it." Without hesitating, she snatched the suitcase away, and though her words seemed to complain, the corners of her mouth were turned up in a smile.
Zhang Meng looked helplessly at Ye Qiu and decided to pick up another suitcase. They brought back quite a few things this time, most of which were for Granny Liu.
"Mom, this is a massage foot bath that Mengmeng bought for you. She heard you often suffer from insomnia and leg pain, so this foot bath specifically massages the pressure points on the soles of the feet, and comes with a special medicinal pack, which helps improve sleep and nourish the body."
"And this one, you always say you have neck pain, right? This is for massaging the neck. Mengmeng originally wanted to buy a massage chair, the kind that can massage the whole body, but the chair is too heavy and too complicated, and we were afraid we wouldn’t be able to transport it back, or that you wouldn’t know how to use it, so we bought two items that are easier to carry and have simpler functions."
"Oh my, you young people don’t know how to save, which one of us country folks doesn’t have some minor ailments? Why do I need these fancy things, how much did they cost you!" Although she complained, Liu Sanying’s smile never left her face.
"This is all Mengmeng’s thoughtfulness, you don’t have to worry about the money. We are all graduates from prestigious universities; are we afraid of not making money in the future? Mengmeng said, after you come to live with us in the city, we’ll get a therapy card for you at the hospital, and have the old Chinese doctors give you a treatment once a month, aiming to keep you healthy, living to a ripe old age, and watching your grandchildren grow up into adults."
The more Ye Qiu talked, the broader Granny Liu’s smile became, and her gaze towards Zhang Meng grew more affectionate.
Actually, Zhang Meng felt somewhat guilty, as she had never said those things; it was all made up by Ye Qiu. Moreover, it was Ye Qiu who paid for the gifts, not allowing her any chance to contribute. Initially, she didn’t want to live with her mother-in-law in the future, but seeing the future mother-in-law’s longing look, her heart softened a bit.
