Lin Shuyue drove to the nursing home and encountered several police cars whizzing past along the way.
While waiting at the traffic light, Lin Shuyue saw a familiar face through the window. It was the police team she had met during the Great Sutra Wheel Religion.
They were the Chinese anti-cult police. When passing by them, Lin Shuyue suddenly laughed. She really didn't expect that the large-scale punishment talisman could have such an effect!
But then again, they were like a possessed person, repeating the mistakes they had made every day, and they started having dreams when they slept, and they couldn't tell anyone about these dreams.
So they can only recount their sins during the day, regardless of the location or occasion. When there are too many people like this, how can this not be a form of torture?
Lin Shuyue suddenly felt relieved, because the place where those people were held was different from where normal prisoners were held. And among those people, there were always a few who were not so normal.
Just imagine, what kind of sparks would be created if a group of bosses with some wealth and a group of people with normal thinking were detained in a prison?
Lin Shuyue felt refreshed just thinking about it. She was pissed because there were so few large-scale punishment talismans. How much better would it be if there were more?
Lin Shuyue felt a little regretful.
When Lin Shuyue arrived at Xijiang Hospital, Lou Fengqin was helping Grandma Lou out of the hospital. Grandma Lou had lost a lot of weight after her illness and wasn't as energetic as before.
"Mom, Grandma." Lin Shuyue called out to them and walked over to take the thermos from Aunt Lou's hand.
Uncle Lou followed Lin Shuxing with other miscellaneous items. After Lin Shuyue had a few words with the elders, she asked Lin Shuxing, "Isn't Uncle Bai here?"
Bai Wenhua is very kind-hearted towards Lou Fengqin's relatives. As long as it is good for Lou Fengqin, Lin Shuyue and others, and as long as they need help, he will do his best.
As far as Lin Shuyue knew, he had lend tens of thousands of yuan. From time to time, Lin Shuyue would see people coming to his house to repay their money. The house was piled with seasonal and non-seasonal fruits and vegetables, so many that they could not be eaten.
Logically speaking, Bai Wenhua shouldn't be away at this time.
"He went to pay the bill with my uncle." Uncle Lou didn't recognize many words. Two days ago, the cashier in the hospital made a mistake in the bill and had to return it. Uncle Lou was a little scared.
No one's money comes from the wind. If the hospital makes a mistake in calculation, it will cost three to five thousand. Who can bear this?
After Lin Shuxing said this, Lin Shuyue knew what was going on. The day before yesterday, when she came to see Grandma Lou, Lou Fengqin had also mentioned this matter.
"Then put these things in my car first."
"OK."
Lin Shuyue's car was parked in a parking space not far from the entrance of Xijiang Hospital.
Parking spaces these days are not as hard to find as they were in the past. There were no cars on either side of Lin Shuyue's car.
Lin Shuyue's car was just big enough to take Lin Shuxing and the others in. A little later, Bai Wenhua and Uncle Lou came out.
They drove in front to lead the way, while Lin Shuyue followed behind with a car full of women.
Aunt Lou was enthusiastic and talkative and had a good relationship with Lou Fengqin. The two of them chatted animatedly with each other. In more than an hour's journey, they had already talked about their relatives at home and the people they met in the hospital.
Grandma Lou and Lin Shuxing joined in from time to time. Lin Shuyue listened very attentively with a smile on her face.
As they talked, the two of them talked about Lin Shuyue's relationship.
Through Lou Fengqin's publicity, almost all the close relatives in the family knew that Lin Shuyue had a boyfriend.
Aunt Lou had never met Hang Jiabai, she had only heard that he was a policeman. Ordinary people have a natural awe of the police, and in that awe, there is infinite curiosity.
Just like her aunt, she had never had any dealings with the police in her life. After learning that Lin Shuyue had a boyfriend who was a policeman, her curiosity suddenly exploded.
The reason she didn't ask before was that she hadn't spent too much time with Lin Shuyue. Lin Shuyue was too busy and she didn't have time to visit her home.
Later, she came to the hospital to take care of her sick Grandma Lou and was very worried every day. Lin Shuyue went to the capital for further studies, so she had no chance to ask.
Now that Lin Shuyue is back and Grandma Lou's health is improving, she finally caught Lin Shuyue and asked her about it.
"Ah Yue, when will your boyfriend come back from the capital? Will he come home for the New Year?"
"It will be almost the end of the month. He will definitely come home during the New Year period." Lin Shuyue and Hang Jiabai are together, and both of them are aiming to get married.
During the Chinese New Year, they must visit both sets of parents.
Her aunt and Grandma Lou exchanged a glance and said, "Ah Yue, your boyfriend's name is Hang Jiabai, right? Has he told you how much he earns a month?"
Her aunt's words made all the women in the car look at Lin Shuyue.
His family still doesn't know how much Hang Jiabai earns.
Lin Shuyue was stunned by the question: "That's a good question. I don't know either."
Lin Shuyue has no shortage of money. The money she spent on this trip to Hong Kong is said to have been recovered and will be given to her in a few months.
Every time she completed a task, the system would give her a lot of money, but she had no way to use it, so she saved it all. Because of the quality of her reports at the newspaper, in addition to her basic salary, she could get a bonus of three to five thousand every month.
By this calculation, her monthly income must be more than 10,000 yuan, and Lou Fengqin would give her some things from time to time.
Her biggest expenses this year were the local specialties that Hang Jiabai sent back when she came back from the capital, and the luxury goods she bought in Hong Kong the day before yesterday.
As for Hang Jiabai, whenever Lin Shuyue went out with him, he never let her spend a penny on food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Because she was not short of money and had never been in a relationship, Lin Shuyue ignored this issue even though she and Hang Jiabai were planning to get married.
When Lin Shuyue said this, not only she was dumbfounded, but everyone in the car was dumbfounded.
Lou Fengqin slapped her thigh and said, "You little bastard, you look pretty smart, but how come you don't even ask about the most important thing when it comes to your boyfriend?"
Grandma Lou also looked at Lin Shuyue with disapproval: "Your mother is right. Marrying a man means having clothes to wear and food to eat. You are dating someone when you don't even know if he can feed you, and you are still dating him?"
"You are so silly." Her aunt also strongly disagreed. In their opinion, getting married is a very serious matter.
The first thing they look at is the man's character, and the second thing they look at is whether he has the ability to earn money and support the family. In their opinion, appearance is the least important.
The aunt was afraid that Lin Shuyue was simply being deceived, so her curiosity about the police suddenly faded. She even felt that Hang Jiabai was not a good person and was a bit dishonest.
Lin Shuxing didn't blindly blame Lin Shuyue. Instead, she told her the facts and reasoned with her: "Ah Yue, marriage is a lifelong thing. You can't just look at looks. Officer Hang is good-looking, but if he's so dishonest in a relationship, there's no point in continuing the relationship."
Lin Shuxing said, "Not long after I met your brother-in-law, I found out about his salary and family background."
"Besides this, I also observed him for nearly a year before talking to him. Regardless of what happens in the future, he's really treating me well right now!"
Because of her parents' situation, Lin Shuxing didn't prioritize looks when looking for a boyfriend. She was quite cautious and ultimately chose Luo Zhengjun.
Luo Zhengjun was not close to his parents, and his parents did not expect him to support them in their old age. Before finding Ah Yang, she had told Luo Zhengjun that if they could not find him, he would marry into the family.
She had also decided that their child's surname would not be Lin, but Lou.
Lin Shuxing did not let anyone know about this matter except Luo Zhengjun.
So in the second half of the journey, Lin Shuyue became the object of everyone's teaching, and Lin Shuyue accepted it humbly.
The hotel that Uncle Lou and his wife booked for Grandma Lou is in Lanshan District. Lanshan District is far away from the city and is not so well developed, but it has rich tourism resources and is close to the sea. Not only that, because it is close to Luohu Mountain, it is surrounded by mountains and the sea.
This sanatorium is located in the mountains, and there are hot springs in the mountains. This villa is also called a hot spring sanatorium.
It's one thousand yuan a month, including food and accommodation, and you can have one person accompany you. The accompanying fee is about three hundred yuan separately.
This money was pooled by Aunt Lou's two children. They are both teachers with good salaries and benefits. Grandma Lou treats them very well, so they gave the money willingly.
If it weren't for the winter vacation, they would definitely have to stay by Grandma Lou's side.
After getting off the car at the villa, my aunt and Bai Wenhua took their luggage and went into the villa.
The main body of the sanatorium in the hot spring villa is a four-story European-style building, and there are many one-story and two-story houses scattered in the villa.
A woman wearing an A-line skirt and a long-sleeved shirt came out from inside.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Lou and his family? I'm Du Xueli from the room service department. You can call me Xiao Du."
Lin Shuyue and the others followed her inside. The villa was well-landscaped, with a few rockery and small lakes. There were many people outside along the way, most of them were elderly people.
Du Xueli, who was leading the way, said, "We have beautiful scenery and excellent service here. We'll post the weekly meals on the bulletin board outside. If you need anything extra, just tell our housekeeper. We'll make it at the villa, and if we can't, we'll arrange for it."
"It's the same process."
"That's the hot spring bath over there, with separate areas for men and women. Grandma, you can go over there and soak in it. There's staff at the bathhouse 24 hours a day, and everyone's safety is 100% guaranteed."
"Besides that, we have nurses on call 24 hours a day. For those like you who have family members accompanying you, if there's an emergency, our nursing home nurses can provide 24 hours of free service every month."
"If it exceeds that, you'll need to spend money."
Du Xueli led them along a path in the forest, passing a small pond with many purple water lilies in it. Below the pond was an artificial stream with gurgling water flowing through it. They followed the stream and arrived at the main part of the villa.
As soon as they entered the door, there was a lobby that was similar to a hotel, decorated very magnificently. There were two elevators on each side. Du Xueli took them to the first elevator on the left.
There was soothing music playing in the elevator, and they reached the fourth floor.
Room 401 is the room that the villa arranged for Grandma Lou.
Pushing the door open, there are two 1.5-meter beds, each with a bedside table. The bathroom is on the left side of the door, and there is a small wardrobe. Directly opposite the bed is the TV, and to the side of the TV is a door leading out. Outside is a balcony.
There are some flowers and plants planted on the balcony, and the pink roses are in full bloom.
The window of Grandma Lou's room just happens to overlook the main entrance of the villa and the area between the villa and the main building.
Lin Shuyue leaned on the balcony and looked at the rockery stream they had just walked through, as well as the artificial lake not far away.
Her eyesight was excellent, and she saw a caregiver in light blue clothes pushing an old man around the lake. The two seemed tired, and the old man was facing the lake to look at the scenery. The caregiver stood beside her, bending down from time to time to say a few words to the old man.
As the wind blew, the mountains in the distance seemed even greener.
A text message came in. Lin Shuyue clicked it and found it was from Hang Jiabai.
"My base salary is 2,000 yuan a month. After adding various allowances and benefits, and deducting things like insurance, I only have 4,000 yuan left. I don't spend any of it, and I have nearly 200,000 yuan in savings."
"Besides that, I have a total of five properties, all of which were transferred to me by my grandmother after I became an adult. Two of them are in the countryside. When I come back, I'll take you to see them."
"Oh, my parents came back last year and bought me a piece of land in Lanshan District, close to the sea."
Lin Shuyue looked at the text message sent by Hang Jiabai and raised her eyebrows.
In 2005, Pengcheng owned five properties, land, and 200,000 yuan in savings. How rich was he?
So she found a rich man without paying attention?
