The old men and women gathered around and started picking up the fish with chopsticks. The fish was crispy and delicious, and even people with bad teeth could eat it. This was the first time they had eaten it cooked this way.

They all started asking, "Little boy, where did you learn this? We've never had anything like this before. Your skills are good enough to open a shop."

"That's right, this tastes so good. If we open a shop, we will definitely make money."

Tong Yao smiled and waved her hands, saying modestly, "It's nothing, I just like to think about all kinds of food. I usually learn about it online. As long as the grandparents like it, that's fine."

"I can't open a shop. I have some social anxiety and am not good at managing people. Also, I heard that running a shop requires connections. If I don't manage it well, people from the Health Bureau will come to visit every day."

"It's too much trouble. I still prefer being a nanny. It's less troublesome, more fun, and...more money."

The old men and women laughed out loud after hearing these frank words, and said cheerfully, "You are a very honest child. If you have such ideas in the future, feel free to come to me."

Tong Yao smiled sweetly and didn't take it seriously. She had a clear vision of herself as a nanny.

They were friendly to her because they were kind-hearted people, but she couldn't take every word seriously. She had to do her own part. The interactions between people were more about interests.

After eating and drinking, everyone sat by the reservoir to bask in the sun and close their eyes for a nap. Some people also went to the car to rest.

Tong Yao would always remind them in advance: "Grandpas and grandmas, if you go to rest in the car, be sure to open the windows for ventilation, and don't close it up and turn on the air conditioner."

I felt relieved after seeing them nod.

I found an empty place to sit down and prepare to rest when my cell phone rang. I looked at the incoming call and my hand clenched unconsciously, but I finally answered it.

"Hey, I told you guys I'll pay you 3,000 a month. Don't ask me for more than that. I don't have the money. I need to survive."

[You silly girl, who are you talking to with such an attitude? Do you deserve a beating? I just want to ask you one question: do you want to save your grandmother's illness? If not, I will give up on her treatment.]

Tong Yao's expression tensed. Her grandmother was the best person to her in the family and the only person she cared about.

In the past, when her parents beat her and didn't give her food, her grandmother would secretly bring her food. The softest part of her heart was given by her grandmother, so it was impossible for her not to care about her grandmother.

[Li Huilan, what are you doing? What happened to my grandma?]

[…You idiot girl, I raised you. Why did you call me by my name like that? You are such an uneducated idiot.]

[Shut up! I'll ask Grandma what's wrong. If you don't tell me, I'll cut off all the 3,000 yuan a month from now on. You'll have to bear the loss yourself then.]

The other person was silent for a moment before speaking: "Your grandmother fell while fetching water and broke her hand. She was sent to the hospital for treatment. Now the old lady is unwilling to treat her because she is afraid of the cost."

"Why? You live so close, don't you know grandma is old? Why do you ask her to fetch water? Didn't I give you money to install running water for grandma before?"

No one said anything over there. Tong Yao closed her eyes and gnashed her teeth in hatred. She was afraid that these two scumbags would swallow all the money.

【Tell me, why did you call me? 】

[Your grandma has a broken hand. She doesn't have any medical insurance and has to pay out of pocket. Please give us 5,000 yuan. Otherwise, your grandma's fracture can't be cured and she might not survive...]

Tong Yao's eyes were red: [What did the adoptive father say? Grandma is his biological mother, she raised him up. Don't tell me you don't have 5,000 yuan, how can you have medical insurance?]

[Just forget about buying medical insurance. Your grandma has always been in good health, who knew she would fall? If you have the guts, go teach your medical insurance a lesson.]

[Okay, I can give you the money for grandma's treatment, but I have a condition. You must turn on the video chat so that I can see grandma's condition. Otherwise, the three thousand yuan I gave to my sister this month will be gone.]
