Chapter 18 Extraordinary 6+1
Wang Xiaodan trotted upstairs and came down carrying a suitcase.
turn on.
Inside was a box full of cash, all hundred-yuan bills.
"This is the money the old man saved up his whole life."
The total was 43, which I withdrew.
That's how he arranged it.
Give me 10, give Wu Ma 15, and I'll give you 15.
My older brother has a high salary and isn't short of money, so he gave me 3.
And then there's this apartment. He left it to me, but I don't usually live there, so I thought I'd give it to Aunt Wu and you."
David stared in shock at the money in the box, speechless.
This grandfather is truly righteous.
Wang Xiaodan smiled and continued, "Aunt Wu is getting old."
There's hardly anyone left in her family.
I was thinking that if you could come to Kyoto, you could keep her company.
It turns out you didn't want to stay here.
Actually, you should come to Kyoto.
Look at you, you're still so young, and your elder brother is in the capital. He could easily get you promoted with just a wave of his hand.
I've heard some things about Yuanshan County; it's not a suitable place for you to develop your career.
"Being in Yuanshan County is like keeping a beautiful koi carp in a pot."
Upon hearing this analogy, David chuckled sheepishly; it was indeed very apt.
"Here's 20." Wang Xiaodan moved the box closer to Dawei: "I don't need the money, but you and Aunt Wu probably need it more."
So I took out my share, and you and Aunt Wu each get 5, totaling 20 each.
Before the old man passed away, he told my brother that we had to fulfill his wishes.
He said that Dawei came from a poor family and was being bullied. Giving him some money would at least make him look a little more respectable.
This is the old man's kind gesture; please don't refuse it.
Looking at the banknotes, Dawei felt a mix of emotions. His grandfather truly treated him like his own grandson.
That kowtow wasn't in vain.
Although there are many bumps and injustices in the world, there are many things to see everywhere.
But there is warmth in this world too.
It is people like Grandpa who are mending and patching up this world, giving strength back to those who have lost their way and whose faith is gradually crumbling.
David touched the brand-new bills, his eyes reddened, and tears streamed down his face.
"Thanks.
thank you all.
I definitely can't take this money.
I appreciate Grandpa's kind gesture.
I'm still young and capable. Even if I can't make it in Yuanshan County, I can do something else.
You can keep this money; you can decide what to do with it, give it to whomever you want, but I absolutely cannot accept it.
Wang Xiaodan was somewhat surprised: "Dawei, this... I don't really know how to arrange this. My dad said it's for you."
"You have high expenses abroad, so you can take this and use it."
"I have money... How about we give it to Aunt Wu?"
"Yes, I think it's a good idea. Aunt Wu is getting old and will need money in the future, so let's give it to her."
Having solved one allocation problem, Wang Xiaodan's brow relaxed: "Just like that, you..."
David smiled nonchalantly, wiped away his tears, waved his hand, and said, "I'm fine."
David looked up, trying to hold back the tears that were about to fall, and sighed as he stared at the ceiling: "Why don't good people live long?"
Wang Xiaodan blinked, looking like she was about to cry again: "He's good in every way, except he's a sexist."
"Is there?"
"Hmph, look at the people he's adopted—godsons, godchildren—but where are his goddaughters and godgranddaughters?"
"Is it possible that he's more interested in politics, and since most people in officialdom are men, it's a matter of probability, not intentional?"
This angle was quite novel; it was the first time Wang Xiaodan had ever heard of it.
Looking back at that photo album, every photo had a note.
The photos document some significant events, along with some blessings and reflections.
It has been going on for many years without interruption.
Thinking back, my dad has always been quietly supporting me through my studies, going abroad, and holding art exhibitions since I was a child.
Back then, in order to hold an art exhibition, my father, who never asked for favors, used all his connections and even asked Wang Guozheng for help for the first time. In the end, this incident became the pretext for others to frame Wang Guozheng.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiaodan's tears flowed again.
"Did I say something wrong?"
Wang Xiaodan took a tissue and wiped her tears, then smiled through her tears: "No, no!"
You're absolutely right.
I should be happy, because my dad loves me.
He wasn't wrong about you. You are intelligent, insightful, and kind.
Thank you, David.
David scratched his head and chuckled awkwardly. He felt a little embarrassed that someone as beautiful as a fairy was praising him like that.
Wang Xiaodan turned her head and looked at Dawei with a mischievous smile. A warm feeling rose in her heart, and the more she looked at Dawei, the more pleasing he seemed.
She's traveled all over the world; what kind of men hasn't Xiao Dan seen?
Before we met, I thought Dawei was probably just a country bumpkin, not very interesting, maybe even a bit vulgar and snobbish.
After spending the last two days together, I found that it was not like that at all.
There was a tenacity in the man's eyes, like a resilient blade of grass in a strong wind, inspiring both pity and respect.
Moreover, it's the most handsome blade of grass on the hilltop; the more you look at it, the more appealing it becomes.
"Hey, I heard you got married. Why didn't you bring your spouse with you this time?"
"Sigh, stop talking, let's get a divorce."
"Divorced?!"
Wang Xiaodan felt inexplicably excited, though she couldn't explain why.
It's like seeing a dress you like, but it's already been reserved, and then the salesperson says that the customer who reserved it has cancelled the order, and the dress can be sold again.
"I'm sorry, I don't know..."
David grinned and said, "What's there to be embarrassed about? This is a good thing."
Wang Xiaodan tilted her head and looked at the other person in surprise. Was this a good thing?
"Isn't that a good thing?"
When I'm down on my luck, I can see through the other person's true colors early on.
If I only realize this when I'm old, when I'm already in a wheelchair and constantly gesturing with my hands as if it's a game called "Super Six Plus One," then I'll be in a terrible old age.
She spends my retirement pension, goes out dancing with old men all day, and then comes home and torments me. What a waste of my life!
Wang Xiaodan frowned and asked in confusion, "What is 'Super 6+1'?"
"Hey, that's it." Dawei mimicked the way an elderly stroke patient's hand wouldn't obey his commands, and his imitation was incredibly lifelike.
"Hahaha..." Wang Xiaodan burst into laughter, patting Chen Dawei's shoulders with both hands: "Why are you like this? You're so funny."
"Hehehe, you laughed, that's good, you look so handsome when you laugh."
Wang Xiaodan withdrew her hand and subconsciously moved a little away from sitting, realizing that she had been somewhat out of line.
Suddenly I realized that the old man was indeed wise.
If I leave behind such a godson, won't I have more company in the future?
Having someone like Chen Dawei by my side will definitely make my days less boring and much happier.
"And what about you?"
"What about me?"
"Where's your man? Why didn't he come back this time?"
