“Since you don’t need it now, I’ll save it for you. When our Rourou gets married in the future, this money will be her dowry,” Grandma Tao said with a smile.
“Mom,” Second Aunt Tao laughed, “Xiao Rou will be angry if you say that. “Why does our Rourou only have a dowry of a few thousand yuan?”
“No, no.” Grandma Tao quickly corrected herself. “I should put this money into Rourou’s dowry. I’ll definitely prepare a few truckloads of dowry for Rourou so that she can get married in a grand way.”
Although Grandma Tao said that she would prepare a dowry for Tan Rou, she was very reluctant to let Tan Rou get married. “If Rourou gets married, no one will give me a ma.s.sage in the future.”
“Grandma, I’m only in my third year of high school. I still have to wait a few years before 1 get married,” Tan Rou said helplessly. “Besides, I’ll be in the Xapital when the time comes. I’ll come back once a week to give you a ma.s.sage. After the New Year, 1’11 teach Aunt Zhou the ma.s.sage skills and let her ma.s.sage you when I’m not around.”
Tao Yue was furious. She had ma.s.saged Grandma Tao for so long last time, but she didn’t get any better. On the other hand, Tan Rou had given Grandmother Qi two ma.s.sages 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.
“Alright, alright.” Grandma Tao gently patted Tan Ron’s hand a few times and smiled from ear to ear. She really liked this granddaughter of hers. If Tan Rou didn’t have to go back to school, she wouldn’t have let her leave the Capital.
After the game, they sat on the sofa and chatted. It wasn’t time to make dinner yet. Tonight’s 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.
“Xiao Rou, I’ve been taking bitter medicine for a long time. Can I stop now?” Grandma Tao still liked to eat sweet things.
“Is Grandma sick?” Tao Yue asked impatiently before Tan Rou could say anything. “Why do you need to take medicine?”
Grandma Tao thought that she was concerned about her, so she said, “Your eldest cousin gave me the medicine…”
Before she could finish, Tao Yue looked at Tan Rou angrily. “Eldest Cousin, why did you make Grandma take the medicine? She’s not sick at all. Are you plotting something by giving her medicine?”
“What would me intentions be by giving medicine to grandma?” Tan Rou wondered. “From what you’re saying, you think that I’m going to murder my biological grandmother?”
“Only you know what you’re thinking. Grandma has always been in good health. Ever since you came back, she’s been getting ma.s.sages from others. It must be because of the medicine you made.” Tao Yue said angrily.
“I’m not in good health, and I often get up late. Don’t you know that?” Grandma Tao said unhappily. “Ever since I took the medicine that Xiao Rou gave me, I don’t wake up so often throughout the night.”
Tao Yue still couldn’t 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?
“Eldest cousin, you should hand over the medicine. I’ll take it for testing and confirm that it’s harmless before giving it to Grandma to eat. If Grandma took the wrong medicine and hurt her body, can you bear the responsibility?” Tao Yue asked.
“Second cousin, 1 think you’re the one who ate something wrong today.” Tan Rou said coldly, “Today is the eve of the Lunar New Year. I don’t want to argue with you. You do your thing, and I’ll do mine. Let’s not say another word.”
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.
“Eldest cousin, I won’t let you harm grandma’s body with these unknown medication!” Tao Yue said indignantly.
“Enough! Don’t I know if Rourou’s medicine will harm my body?” Grandma Tao raged.
Seeing that Grandma Tao was angry, Tao Yue lowered her voice. “Grandma, I’m just worried that you’ll get sick from eating too much. We don’t even know if the doctor she found was reliable. How could you just take those medication?!”
Grandma Tao’s face was livid. She said angrily, “I know better than you whether my biological granddaughter will harm me.. There’s no need to talk about this anymore!”
