Chapter 89 - 88: Grandma Han Falls Down
"Oh, it’s you, young lady," Lin Wan came a few times, each time buying a lot of soap. She couldn’t remember all at once, but after visiting several times, she remembered.
"Where are you feeling uncomfortable?" Lin Wan said as she took out her handkerchief to wipe Han Ying’s sweat.
"Sigh, it’s the old trouble, my old rheumatism. It’s been really painful these days. I just didn’t stand well and fell. Now my foot hurts even more."
"Let me take you to the hospital." Lin Wan worriedly touched Grandma’s foot, and as soon as she touched it, Grandma gasped in pain; it seemed the foot was seriously injured.
"Thank you for your kindness, young lady, but you’re too delicate to move me. Could you please visit our next-door neighbor and tell them that I’ve fallen?"
"Okay," Lin Wan knew that next door, Mr. Jin and his wife get along well with Grandma. In the past life, when Han Yi wasn’t around, they often helped her and Grandma, though Aunt Jin didn’t think much of her and wasn’t very friendly whenever she visited.
Mrs. Jin disapproved of her young granddaughter-in-law, who was from the countryside but acted like a city person, too delicate to do anything, making such elderly people do laundry and cook. When she couldn’t bear it, she would say a few things. Sometimes she’d say things Lin Wan didn’t like. Lin Wan often resented her, but looking back, she realized she was quite ungrateful. Lin Wan hurried over to the Jin Family next door, thankful that they were home. Uncle Jin and Aunt Jin are only in their forties; they originally had a son and a daughter. The daughter died of starvation when she was young, and the son, eager to save food for the family, joined the army at thirteen or fourteen and unfortunately died.
The couple makes pastries and snacks, relying on these skills, opening a shop in front of their house, just like Grandma’s, adjacent to a small store.
Aunt Jin manages the shop daily, while Uncle Jin rides a bicycle with two wooden boxes hanging at the back, peddling through the streets, living quite comfortably.
"Excuse me, are you Uncle Jin? Grandma Han next door fell and hurt herself in her house. Could you please come over to help?"
