Chapter 69 New Mission
"Little Sha," Shu Hui pulled out another stack of money, "send this money to your grandma."
"Mom, I have money. I already sent some this month." Every few months, she’d send money to her father’s hometown, although she had never met Grandma. They always used the most traditional postal remittance because Grandma neither used the internet nor understood online banking and mobile payments.
Grandma never visited them in the city, and her mother never took her back there. She had no idea what relatives were left in the old home but vaguely remembered that the family seemed quite well off when she was little, living in a big house before they moved into this school dormitory. She vaguely recalled that the big house was sold to pay for someone’s medical treatment back home, which caused a big fight between her parents at the time. Afterward, her father went to jail, and whether the person’s illness was cured, she never knew. Her mom never mentioned it again, and the family’s living conditions plummeted.
"Send some more, it’s an important birthday for her." Shu Hui stuffed the money into her hands.
She understood then that Shu Hui was referring to her grandma’s birthday this year, though she had no idea how many years it actually was.
"Okay," she agreed. Sometimes, complying was a form of filial piety.
While they were talking, Tu Hengsha’s phone rang. It was Chen Qi asking her to pack and head to the train station immediately for a business trip. She would be working with the same journalist, Ronggui.
Tu Hengsha hung up the phone and hastily packed a few things while telling Shu Hui in a rush, "Mom, I’m going on a business trip! I don’t know how many days it’ll be; I’ll find the time to send Grandma’s money."
"If you’re too busy, I’ll send it myself! Be careful out there!" Shu Hui quickly helped her gather a bunch of stuff.
