Zhou Sheng gritted his teeth, his face full of grief and anger, which made Lan Xin feel surprised. What did she say that hurt him?

"Mom, is this how I look to you? You don't even believe me and ask me to write a letter of guarantee!" Zhou Sheng questioned Lan Xin, seeming very angry.

Lan understood, but was not afraid at all.

He loves to act, and she can act too, but we can't let a child be looked down upon.

"Mom doesn't mean that. I'm just afraid that you will forget it in the future. After all, you won't be by my side anymore." Lan Xin covered her mouth, looking hurt.

"I'm afraid that your father won't let you take care of me in my old age, and that you two will quarrel and affect the father-son relationship. If I write a letter of guarantee now, your father won't object in the future."

When Zhou Sheng heard Lan Xin’s words, he felt like his scalp was about to explode.

This woman, she sold herself to my father, and she actually thought that he would take care of her in her old age when he grows up! !

How could she be so greedy!

Although they are young, children from poor families have to grow up early, and issues related to elderly care can cause a stir whether in rural areas or in cities.

The precocious Zhou Sheng probably understood what was going on. Even if he didn't, in his heart he felt that Lan Xin didn't plant the trees but wanted to eat the fruits.

Don't support him, but let him take care of you in your old age!

Zhou Sheng was unwilling to do so. "Mom, I wrote a letter of guarantee before. I left it to Dad and he raised me."

"But, Zhou Sheng, it was your mother who carried you for ten months, gave birth to you, and raised you for so many years. Don't you want to repay her at all?" Lan Xin continued to speak calmly.

"Mom is injured now. Your sisters will have to pay for my medical expenses and support me in the future. How can they afford it? It's better for you, the eldest brother, to do it..."

Seeing Lan Xin's serious expression as she started to argue, Zhou Sheng, who was not very mature to begin with, suddenly became panicked.

He doesn't want to support Lan Xin. Why did Lan Xin take two younger sisters and raise them but not him, and want him to take care of her in her old age?

How can this be true!

He could never have imagined who had raised him up in the past ten years, or even in the past five years, and who had given him the opportunity to come to Shanghai to find his father.

The more he thought about it, the more panicked Zhou Sheng became. He couldn't even think of refutation. Before Lan Xin finished speaking, he shrank his head and ran away without looking back.

Lan Xin: "..."

Isn’t this too cowardly?

This is such a shameless person who wants everything. Shouldn't I have a few words with her or paint her a big promise before leaving?

How come I just lied to him and scared myself away?

Lan Xin didn't want him to take care of her in her old age, and didn't want to have anything to do with them, so it would be best if she could scare them away.

Brother Lan was very angry, "What is Zhou Sheng doing here?"

"Okay, big brother, don't worry about him." After brushing Zhou Sheng, Lan Xin felt in a good mood. Seeing that it was still early, she immediately planned a new activity.

We went to the hospital early in the morning. Although there were many people, Lan Xin and the others came early and finished the examination and got the medicine early. It was only a little after ten o'clock now.

How boring it would be to spend such a good time just staying in a guesthouse and staring at each other.

"It's still early, why don't we go to the zoo?"

Lan Xin squatted down and looked into her two daughters' eyes as she spoke.

It would be so boring to go on a trip and leave without even having fun.

"What is a zoo?" Yingying and Yueyue were indeed very interested, but they didn't know what this zoo was.

"A zoo is a place with many animals, such as lions, tigers, and giant pandas." Lan Xin explained softly.

"Wow! Really!"

"I'm going! I'm going!"

The two children immediately jumped for joy and were very curious.

Brother Lan and Sister-in-law Lan, who were watching from the side, wanted to say something, since they had already spent so much money on medical treatment, they would have to spend even more money on health care in the future. Why were they wasting their money on playing like this now? Do they think they had enough money?

Lan Xin had anticipated their thoughts and immediately spoke up to stop them from talking.

"The old doctor told me to relax and feel better. Going out to see a doctor will make me feel better. It's easier and more cost-effective than taking medicine."

"And everyone in the village knows that we came all the way to Shanghai. In the future, when people ask us what we have in Shanghai, what should we say? They say that the people in the Shanghai Tobacco and Wine Company are gossipy, that the warehouse of the textile factory is very large, and that the hospital has a lot of people?"

"Since we're here, it doesn't cost much to take a look. You know, it will take at least ten years for a zoo to open in our area. Don't you want to spend a little money to see what tigers and lions look like, and then tell others when you go back?"

Lan Xin smiled and spoke in a gentle tone, but it touched the hearts of several people in an instant.

Yes, there must be no one in the village who has been to the zoo to see what a tiger looks like!

Besides, all medicines are poisonous to some extent. Having fun and having a good attitude is much better than taking medicine.

"Don't we have to take the bus back early?" Brother Lan also wanted to go, so he said awkwardly.

I was afraid that it would affect the family's land and Lan Xin's ability to make money.

Lan Xin spread her hands and said, "We haven't even sold the tickets yet, so it won't cause any trouble if we go out for some fun."

"Well, that's going to cost so much. How about you guys go and I'll stay in the guesthouse to look after things?" Mrs. Lan hesitated.

Lan Xin pulled her forward and said, "It won't cost much, my dear sister-in-law. The door is locked, and there are people watching over the guesthouse, so no one will steal anything. I see you didn't sleep well last night, and you were tossing and turning. What's the matter? Let's go for a walk and relax."

Mrs. Lan didn't know why, but she was feeling shy and sad. She didn't sleep well the night before, and she had dark circles under her eyes this morning.

Behind them, little brother Lan consciously acted as their temporary guardian and reached out to hold Yingying and Yueyue.

The three of them were very curious about the zoo and chattered non-stop without any generation gap. Brother Lan walked at the end with the medicine bag.

In a corner not far away, Zhou Sheng, who was hiding behind the corner, gritted his teeth and watched several people go to the zoo happily, feeling very angry.

Okay, okay, then I’ll just deal with him like you’re sick and have no money and need his support in your old age.

When he is gone, they happily go to the zoo again. Doesn't this mean they have no money? Now that they don't need money, they must be trying to take advantage of his money and let him bear the responsibility of supporting them in their old age.

Anyway, he definitely won't be fooled!

On the way, Lan Xin finally opened Mrs. Lan's tightly closed mouth and knew why she was in a bad mood today.

There is also the issue of Lan Xin.

It was because of what she said yesterday that Mrs. Lan's mind was disturbed - she wanted to open a small noodle stall to earn some money so that she wouldn't have to continue to work hard to take care of the few acres of land at home.

After all, the children have grown up and need to go to school and eat. How much money can Baba earn in a year to support his children's education just by relying on the family's land?

And now Lan Xin looked overworked and her health was damaged, which made Mrs. Lan feel even more complicated.

Mrs. Lan wanted to go home and set up a noodle stall, but Brother Lan couldn't help but pour cold water on her.

"Where do we get the money?"

"Even if it's the cheapest and simplest noodle stall, you need to prepare bowls, chopsticks, tables, chairs, stoves and pots. It will cost at least 500 yuan. Where can we get the money?"

This one sentence made Mrs. Lan unable to sleep well, and she kept thinking about it in her mind.

Where should I get the capital to open a noodle stall? Should I ask my parents for a loan, or go home to ask my parents, or ask Lan Xin for a loan? None of them seem appropriate.

But if she were asked to do nothing and continue her previous life, she couldn't help but imagine the grand scene of the small noodle stall downstairs. They could really make a lot of money in a day.

But if she wanted to make money, where would she get the capital from? This tortured Mrs. Lan over and over again, making her unable to sleep well.
