Chapter 451 It Actually Came!
However, being an elderly person, Feng Qingqing didn't keep them waiting for long and soon appeared at the gate.
At this moment, the old man of the Fang family outside the door showed a rare look of unease on his face.
My family knows their own affairs.
He went out without telling his wife. Before leaving, he even came up with a reasonable excuse: to take a walk in the family compound.
But for some reason, the look his wife gave him as he left home, that look in her eyes, still seems somewhat ambiguous when he thinks back on it now.
My spouse seems to know everything about my thoughts and what I'm going to do next.
How can it be?
If he really knew, why didn't his wife stop him?
He knew very well that no one in the family agreed with his idea of sending Feng Qingqing to Beijing to help Guangmei's mother-in-law treat her chronic illness.
Even his son, daughter-in-law, and others, though they didn't say anything explicitly, revealed their attitude by silently keeping quiet when the topic came up.
This made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
He knew they all hoped he wouldn't get involved and could just live his own life.
But that was his older brother, the brother he had relied on since childhood. If it were anyone else, he would have agreed without hesitation.
But with his own elder brother caught in the middle, he was in a dilemma.
But after so many days of agonizing and deep thought, I finally decided to give it a try with Feng Qingqing.
He simply couldn't get over that mental hurdle; he wouldn't even try if it meant giving it a shot.
He's the second uncle, how could he accept that title for nothing?
Therefore, even though his wife and children disapproved, he still had to come over and explain things to them in person.
Since Feng Qingqing has such skills, what if she agrees?
Although he knew in his heart that this was really asking too much of him.
What was Feng Qingqing's attitude towards Fang Guangmei and her mother-in-law before?
But he always wanted to do something for his nephews and nieces who lived far away in Beijing.
Therefore, standing in front of Feng Qingqing's house, although somewhat uncertain, he still firmly knocked on her door.
Hopefully, that girl can put aside past grievances and go to Beijing, considering the past relationship between our two families.
When Feng Qingqing opened the door, she was not surprised to see Grandpa Fang standing outside, looking at her with a slightly ingratiating expression.
She didn't say anything, just greeted them as usual, and then invited them inside.
"Grandpa, come in quickly, it's warmer inside."
"Okay, okay."
After they finished speaking, the two entered the living room one after the other.
The two children were still taking a nap. She thought she should explain things clearly before the children woke up, so that she wouldn't have time once they woke up.
She poured the old man a glass of water, sat down, and then looked at him with a puzzled expression, asking:
"Grandpa, is something the matter?"
She didn't mince words, but asked directly.
Seeing the old man's anxious look, I thought to myself that it would be better to explain things clearly as soon as possible, so that the old man wouldn't have any unrealistic fantasies.
Upon hearing Feng Qingqing's question, the old man, who had just picked up the teacup, quickly put it down again.
He didn't expect the girl to be so impatient, going straight to the point without giving him any time to process it.
He was still thinking about where to start.
Well, that's the situation now.
There's nothing else to say.
Let’s get straight to the point.
After a moment's hesitation and careful consideration of his words, the old man slowly revealed his purpose for coming. He didn't explain why she hadn't mentioned it when she went to his house that morning, but instead came to talk to him alone after she returned home.
She simply pretended not to notice these details.
"Qingqing, it was a bit abrupt for your godfather to come today, but I had no choice."
After saying that, he sighed, and then, after a moment, resumed the conversation.
"Speaking of which, it all comes down to Guangmei. Her mother-in-law's old ailment has flared up again. It was only after receiving treatment here that she felt much better for a few days."
"Well, they probably felt they weren't confident they could get you to agree, so they came to me for help."
After he finished speaking, the old man looked at Feng Qingqing with hope, hoping that she could understand his predicament.
Feng Qingqing had long understood his intentions and was not surprised at all.
However, he did show some surprise in his expression.
After thinking for a moment, he slowly began to speak:
"Grandpa, as for Guangmei's mother-in-law's illness, I already explained it very clearly to them when they came to the county town before."
That was a chronic illness she'd had for decades. To have it alleviated to that level back then was already a stroke of luck. To try and improve it further, at least for me now, would be quite a stretch.
“But I heard that Mei’s mother-in-law seems to have had a relapse recently, and she has been suffering from unbearable headaches every day. I wonder if this time she can get the same level of treatment as when she came to the county town last time, so that at least the pain can be relieved a little.”
Hearing Feng Qingqing say this, the old man became anxious and quickly interjected.
Hearing the old man say that, she felt a chill in her heart.
However, his facial expression remained unchanged, and he even seemed to tilt his head in thought for a moment before explaining:
"Old man, it's not that I'm unwilling to help, but her illness is inherently difficult to cure. We were already very lucky last time."
I'm not confident I can treat it to that extent this time either.
Moreover, I live far away in Nanjiang County, which is very inconvenient for me to travel back and forth. I suggest that you find some renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctors in Beijing to examine me more closely.
My two children are still young, and some things happened that delayed Auntie's treatment.
The old man was shrewd enough to understand Feng Qingqing's attempt to evade the issue.
It's impossible not to feel disappointed.
But now, he only hopes to secure more convenience for his niece.
After a long pause, he finally spoke again:
"Qingqing, Guangmei isn't an outsider, could you prescribe some of those health supplement pills you gave me for her mother-in-law?"
He had been taking that pill for several years and was very clear about its specific effects.
Moreover, he knew before that Guangmei had given some of the pills made by Qingqing to her mother-in-law, and they showed good results on the day they were taken.
This was also his second-best option.
After all, even if Feng Qingqing couldn't personally go to Beijing to treat Mei's mother-in-law, having this kind of pill would surely alleviate some of the immediate crisis.
These were ideas he had been pondering for many days before he came.
Now that I'm saying it, it makes perfect sense.
I just don't know if this girl will agree.
In his opinion, since this girl had been able to provide them with pills for several years, it would be a good choice to provide some more to Mei's mother-in-law, even if it was just one bottle.
