Who said your fate was bad, coincidentally the machine broke, and coincidentally you were there, so even if Guo Jingling didn’t want to, he had to agree to the factory’s leadership arrangement.

Just like that, Guo Jingling recuperated in the hospital, and the family he initially arranged to see, after hearing about his injury, was still willing to marry their daughter to him.

However, they raised the bride price.

After all, marrying a healthy man and marrying a disabled man, the bride price is definitely different.

The other party raised the bride price to five hundred yuan.

Mrs. Guo thought her son has become disabled, and surely needed a woman by his side to take care of him in the future, so she gritted her teeth and agreed.

But Mrs. Guo also made a request, which was to immediately have the bride marry into the family to take care of her son.

It happened that the compensation from the electrical factory had come through.

Mrs. Guo got the money, handed over five hundred to the matchmaker, so fast that Yuan Chun didn’t have time to put the money into her pocket.

Yuan Chun could only watch as the poor, black and skinny girl, carrying a small bundle, stepped into the Old Guo Family’s gate.

The girl hadn’t even sat down to drink a cup of tea before Mrs. Guo took her to the hospital, gave her ten yuan and some tickets, instructing her, "In the coming days, take good care of Jingling in the hospital, take this ten yuan, and when it’s meal time, go to the cafeteria to get some rice and vegetables for you two, Jingling’s body is still weak, he can only have some soup, remember to go early, the hospital cafeteria’s chef brews a pot of old hen soup every day for patients to nourish their bodies, if you go late, you won’t get any."

Then, she pulled the girl aside and whispered, "You don’t need to worry about the food for the nurse, that’s arranged by the factory, you just need to look after him and take good care of Jingling together."

The girl clutched the ten yuan tightly, nervously replied, "I understand, Aunt."

"Still calling me Aunt, you should call me Mom."

Although she really didn’t like this village girl, since her son still needed the village girl’s care, Mrs. Guo did not show her bad attitude.

After staying with her son in the hospital for a while, Mrs. Guo rushed home to cook for her grandson.

On the first day of Guo Jingling’s hospitalization, the hospital found that his private part was damaged and he couldn’t have children anymore, which was like a thunderbolt to Father Guo and Mrs. Guo.

After that, the old couple’s attitude towards Guo Xiaotao changed a complete 180 degrees, treating and spoiling him like a treasure.

Without Guo Jinghong working tirelessly for the Old Guo family, all the housework could only be done by Mrs. Guo herself.

Mrs. Guo, with one lame leg, limped around cooking, washing, and cleaning, after two hours of hard work, finally served Guo Xiaotao a steaming hot meal.

Now Guo Xiaotao has learned to be clever, he no longer lays hands on his grandparents, deeply understanding that the financial power of the household is controlled by his grandmother. Offending his grandmother means no food for him.

And grandpa is just a money-making tool.

Offending grandpa likewise means no food.

So now, even if he wants to throw a tantrum and flip the table, he’ll hold back.

If he feels upset, he will go to the yard and smash walnuts with bricks to eat.

Smash them hard.

Smash again and again, smash fiercely, releasing his body’s violent energy, while eating walnuts.

These days, Guo Xiaotao feels very satisfied with this way of venting.

Soon, it was the Lunar New Year’s Eve in 1977.

It was Yuan Chun’s first year in this small world after traveling through time. She prepared a lot of delicious food, chicken, duck, fish, and various seafood, filling a large table with delicacies.
