âSince you donât need it now, Iâll save it for you. When our Rourou gets married in the future, this money will be her dowry,â Grandma Tao said with a smile.
âMom,â Second Aunt Tao laughed, âXiao Rou will be angry if you say that. âWhy does our Rourou only have a dowry of a few thousand yuan?â
âNo, no.â Grandma Tao quickly corrected herself. âI should put this money into Rourouâs dowry. Iâll definitely prepare a few truckloads of dowry for Rourou so that she can get married in a grand way.â
Although Grandma Tao said that she would prepare a dowry for Tan Rou, she was very reluctant to let Tan Rou get married. âIf Rourou gets married, no one will give me a massage in the future.â
âGrandma, Iâm only in my third year of high school. I still have to wait a few years before 1 get married,â Tan Rou said helplessly. âBesides, Iâll be in the Xapital when the time comes. Iâll come back once a week to give you a massage. After the New Year, 1â11 teach Aunt Zhou the massage skills and let her massage you when Iâm not around.â
Tao Yue was furious. She had massaged Grandma Tao for so long last time, but she didnât get any better. On the other hand, Tan Rou had given Grandmother Qi two massages after she left, and Grandmother Qi had been thinking about it. She was the one who started it but Tan Rou got all the credit. It was unfair just thinking about it.
âAlright, alright.â Grandma Tao gently patted Tan Ronâs hand a few times and smiled from ear to ear. She really liked this granddaughter of hers. If Tan Rou didnât have to go back to school, she wouldnât have let her leave the Capital.
After the game, they sat on the sofa and chatted. It wasnât time to make dinner yet. Tonightâs dinner was also made by the family. This way, it would have the meaning of a family reunion.
As she spoke, Grandma Tao started talking about the medicine.
âXiao Rou, Iâve been taking bitter medicine for a long time. Can I stop now?â Grandma Tao still liked to eat sweet things.
âIs Grandma sick?â Tao Yue asked impatiently before Tan Rou could say anything. âWhy do you need to take medicine?â
Grandma Tao thought that she was concerned about her, so she said, âYour eldest cousin gave me the medicineâ¦â
Before she could finish, Tao Yue looked at Tan Rou angrily. âEldest Cousin, why did you make Grandma take the medicine? Sheâs not sick at all. Are you plotting something by giving her medicine?â
âWhat would me intentions be by giving medicine to grandma?â Tan Rou wondered. âFrom what youâre saying, you think that Iâm going to murder my biological grandmother?â
âOnly you know what youâre thinking. Grandma has always been in good health. Ever since you came back, sheâs been getting massages from others. It must be because of the medicine you made.â Tao Yue said angrily.
âIâm not in good health, and I often get up late. Donât you know that?â Grandma Tao said unhappily. âEver since I took the medicine that Xiao Rou gave me, I donât wake up so often throughout the night.â
Tao Yue still couldnât believe it. She felt that Tan Rou must have poisoned Grandma Tao. Perhaps the medicine that Tan Rou gave Grandma Tao had an obedient pill. Otherwise, why would Grandma Tao side with Tan Rou when she came back?
âEldest cousin, you should hand over the medicine. Iâll take it for testing and confirm that itâs harmless before giving it to Grandma to eat. If Grandma took the wrong medicine and hurt her body, can you bear the responsibility?â Tao Yue asked.
âSecond cousin, 1 think youâre the one who ate something wrong today.â Tan Rou said coldly, âToday is the eve of the Lunar New Year. I donât want to argue with you. You do your thing, and Iâll do mine. Letâs not say another word.â
Tao Yue was still insisting on asking Tan Rou for medicine. She felt that as long as Grandma Tao was sick, Grandpa Tao would definitely call a doctor home for Grandma Tao. However, it had been a long time since a doctor entered the manor, so she thought that Grandma Tao was healthy and did not need to take any medicine.
âEldest cousin, I wonât let you harm grandmaâs body with these unknown medication!â Tao Yue said indignantly.
âEnough! Donât I know if Rourouâs medicine will harm my body?â Grandma Tao raged.
Seeing that Grandma Tao was angry, Tao Yue lowered her voice. âGrandma, Iâm just worried that youâll get sick from eating too much. We donât even know if the doctor she found was reliable. How could you just take those medication?!â
Grandma Taoâs face was livid. She said angrily, âI know better than you whether my biological granddaughter will harm me.. Thereâs no need to talk about this anymore!â
