Chapter 103 A Secret Dose to Bear a Son (1/2)
Lin Momo was born rich, and she had never experienced the suffering of ordinary people. She asked in confusion, ”Your grandpa is a Chinese medicine practitioner, isn't he? I heard them make lots of money now. Then why was your life so hard?”
Qin Haodong explained, ”It's true he is a Chinese medicine practitioner, but he cared little about money. He never charges his patient for diagnosing, and the price of medicine could barely cover the cost. He even gave medicine to the poor for free. So he doesn't made much money.”
”He had also paid for the expenses for his two son's wedding and housing, so his life was quite straitened these days. That's why his two sons think traditional Chinese medicine is not profitable, and nobody wants to learn his medical skills. My aunt once wanted to learn from him, but grandpa was such a feudal person. He said the skills could only be passed to sons, not daughters. So he didn't teach my aunt. But I was interested in it when I was young, so I've learned a lot from him.”
Lin Momo nodded and said, ”You were a lucky and unlucky one. You were unlucky being abandoned by your parents, but you were lucky to have a nice family full of kind people.”
Qin Haodong said, ”No exactly. My grandparents were kind and nice people, so are my uncle and my aunt, however; their two sons, my two uncles, they didn't inherit my grandpa's medical skills. They fool around the streets all day and don't work at all. They tried every day to steal my grandpa's money.”
Lin Momo said, ”It's hard to say. Brothers born of the same parents can differ greatly from each other.”
Qin Haodong said, ”I was going to earn my tuition fee by working in Jiangnan Hospital, so I didn't go back. Now I've earned some money, I should go back and check.”
Lin Momo said, ”That what you should do. Your grandparents and aunts are so nice to you, you should pay them back. Well, how about I skip the morning work today and let's go buy some gifts for them.”
Qin Haodong looked at her and smiled. He said, ”You're fitting in the role as their granddaughter-in-law so fast. Why not go back with me, so that my grandmother won't force me into some blind date.”
Lin Momo flushed and said, ”Pah. I don't care if you're going for a blind date or not. Do as many as you want.”
Qin Haodong said, ”Are you sure you don't want to go back with me?”
”I...” Lin Momo lowered her head and muttered, ”Is it really appropriate for me to go back with you? I am afraid that grandparents will look down on me.”
It turned out that she had always felt inferior to Qin Haodong because she was a woman with a kid, and he was a handsome and outstanding young man.
Qin Haodong said. ”What's the big deal? My grandparents and aunt are all nice person. They'll be so happy when seeing you and Tang Tang.”
”Well then. I'll think about it.” Lin Momo then asked, ”So where's the hometown we've being talking about.”
Qin Haodong said, ”It's not that far. It's in Wufeng County of Jiangnan City, less than two hours' ride.”
Jiangnan City had two counties and five districts. Wufeng County was one of the remotest one, about 150 kilometres from Jiangnan City.
”Wufeng County?” Lin Momo said, ”You can go back first today. I'll go to Wufeng County for a negotiation of a project a few days later. I'll go visit your grandparents and your aunt then.”
The little fellow yelled, ”Me, too! I want to see grandpa and grandma!”
Qin Haodong took her in his arms and said, ”That's my grandpa and grandma. You can't call them in the same way, you should call them grand-grandpa and grand-grandma.”
He said to Lin Momo again, ”And take Tang Tang with you. Show her the place where I grew up.”
”Great, great! Papa is the nicest!” The little fellow said as she held and kissed Qin Haodong's neck.
Qin Haodong and Lin Momo dropped the little fellow off to school after breakfast, then they went shopping for the gift.
Lin Momo had bought so many things that their Lamborghini Centenario and Porsche 911 couldn't carry. That was when the Honda could be used. The front passenger seat and the truck were all full.
When everything was dealt, Lin Momo went back to the company for work. Qin Haodong drove the car off Jiangnan City and went straight to Wufeng County.
His Dami phone rang as soon as he pulled in the express way. It was Nalan Wuxia's number.
Qin Haodong slowed down and answered the phone with a smile, ”Officer, need a free labor again today? I'm afraid it's not going to work because I'm out of town.”
Nalan Wuxia said, ”Well, then that's a pity. I was going to buy you a meal. It looks like money has been saved.”
”Buy me a dinner, really? Why is that?”
”Let's be straight. I'm promoted.” Nalan Wuxia sounded excited, ”The case yesterdays was done well. We've captured nearly 1,000-kilogram drugs. After the case was reported to the bureau of the city, Liu Bingzhong was removed from the positon of Deputy Director because he interfered the case and nearly influenced the detection of this major case.”
”Captain Wang was promoted to the Deputy Director because his contribution in this case, and I took over his position as the capital of the criminal unit.”
”That's a good thing. Congratulations! But I am really out of town now. I'll go and celebrate it for you and Captain Wang as long as I am back.”
