Wealthy Beauty in the 60s-Chapter 617 - 619: Fainting

As for Weilin, the busy bee, she occasionally dropped by, but now during holidays and festivals, it was even hard to see Weilin gather together; they could only see her on television. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Weilin’s daughter, Beibei, was already three years old and hadn’t joined the youth class, nor had she attended kindergarten.

The Gao family also thought about Beibei accompanying Xiao Shu to school when the time came.

Xia Xiao gave her grandson spring water to drink every day, and it could be said that Xia Xiao often used spring water to nurture the entire Gao family’s health, but the spring water couldn’t fully cure Kangkang’s heart problem. Although it was much better than before, the heart issue remained unresolved, which was troublesome unless they later found a suitable heart for a transplant.

But if it could be cured, nobody wanted Kangkang to undergo a heart transplant.

Xia Xiao told Shitou, "It seems like ever since you were reborn, the spring water in the space doesn’t have the spiritual effect it used to."

Shitou replied, "Naturally, as I am the Spirit of the space, without the Spirit, the spring water definitely isn’t as effective as before, but it’s still useful."

Xia Xiao nodded, acknowledging the water was useful, but it felt diluted. The former spring water was a concentrated essence; even a little was effective.

But now, even though Xia Xiao often added spring water in the soup and water, the family didn’t experience significant effects as before.

Of course, consuming the spring water from the space over the long term was still very beneficial for the body, and Xia Xiao was certain of that.

"Then I will give Kangkang more to drink and hope that by drinking it long-term, it will eventually cure his heart," Xia Xiao said.

Shitou nodded, "It’s beneficial and does no harm. Since there’s no Spirit now, it can’t absorb energy stones like before for the benefit of the space. My rebirth was due to using up all of the space’s energy. Now, the space is just an ordinary yet magical space; at least you can still teleport to the desired places within the space, grow crops, use it for storage, and drink its water. That’s enough."

"Yes, having the space is already fortunate, but thinking about Kangkang’s health..." Xia Xiao sighed.

Shitou assured, "Grandma, I will cure Kangkang."

Xia Xiao managed a smile, rubbing Shitou’s head, "I believe you can because you yourself are a legend."

Indeed, a legend, from a space spirit, a stone, absorbing energy and reborn as a human—the feat was a legend itself.

"Guoqiang, Guoqiang..." Suddenly, Zheng Xianghong’s anxious voice called out.

Both Xia Xiao and Shitou were startled and rushed out, only to see Gao Jiaxing carrying Gao Guoqiang out, with Feiyang and Feiyue following along.

Xia Xiao hurriedly asked, "Dad, what happened?"

Zheng Xianghong, holding Xia Xiao’s hand and crying, said, "This silly old man—his liver was already not good—I told him not to drink, but he still did, even secretly drinking with others outside. He drank some tonight and then suddenly passed out."

Xia Xiao was also startled and loudly told Zheng Xianghong, "Mom, don’t worry, just stay calm at home, I’ll go see dad."

Saying that, Xia Xiao told Shitou, "You stay home with grandma, I’ll go check what’s happening."

Xia Xiao also instructed a few daughters-in-law, then hastened towards the hospital.

"High blood pressure, alcohol poisoning? How could that be?" Inside the hospital, Xia Xiao incredulously widened her eyes; Gao Guoqiang’s drink was made with spring water, how could it be poisonous?

Gao Guoqiang was hospitalized, and after Xia Xiao returned, she went through the liquor cabinet and then realized that the drinks Gao Jiaxing, along with other family members, had were strong spirits, not the spring water wine she prepared.

Naturally, Xia Xiao scolded Gao Jiaxing and all her sons.

The Xia family did have quite a lot of liquor, some also gifted by friends and relatives. Strong spirits naturally were part of the collection, yet she hadn’t realized Gao Jiaxing and others chose to drink the strong spirits, and Gao Guoqiang joined in the drinking too.

Gao Jiaxing and Feiyang and Feiyue were also deeply remorseful. What was originally a joyous occasion turned into sadness.

Fortunately, Gao Guoqiang pulled through, but this episode deeply frightened the Gao family. Once Gao Guoqiang was discharged, Zheng Xianghong also sighed in relief.

Feiling, Weilin, Gao Jiazhi, and their two daughters rushed back when they heard about it, and Gao Guoqiang being poked and prodded during his hospital stay was advised by his children and grandchildren in turns.

Everyone said a word or two,, and after much persuasion, the old man got annoyed, "I won’t die."

Zheng Xianghong immediately grew angry and scolded Gao Guoqiang, quietying him down.

Xia Xiao shook her head at everyone, "Old child, old child," repeating this, everyone saying it, surely Gao Guoqiang would feel unhappy.

Moreover, now only Zheng Xianghong had a firm hold over Gao Guoqiang, and of course his great-grandchildren were fine too, but they were still young, so other than Zheng Xianghong, only Shitou, Beibei, and Xiao Shu’s words Gao Guoqiang would listen to the most.

Once discharged, Gao Guoqiang was back to his cheerful self, sticking close to Zheng Xianghong—decades of old companions, and both nearly at the end of their time, Zheng Xianghong was too reluctant to be harsh, yet she firmly kept him from touching any liquor.

This time, Gao Chunfang and Gao Lifang, the older sisters, came over as well, they too were of age and wouldn’t have rushed over if not extremely worried.

Gao Chunfang and Gao Lifang were now living the life, retired, they traveled together. Before, when Gao Guoqiang and Zheng Xianghong went traveling, they sometimes joined along, but now that Gao Guoqiang and Zheng Xianghong were old and unable to travel, they went on trips together.

This event with Gao Guoqiang gave everyone a scare, so Gao Chunfang and Gao Lifang stayed at the Gao family’s for half a month before returning.

Then, Gao Jiaxing whispered something into Shitou’s ear; Shitou went off to find Gao Guoqiang and privately said, "Great-grandpa, if you want to drink, just find me, I’ll drink with you."

Gao Guoqiang: ...

"You’re too young to be drinking," Gao Guoqiang was startled, his great-grandson was only three years old, and already thinking about drinking?

Gao Guoqiang shook his head repeatedly, "No, you’re too young, you can’t drink alcohol, drink more milk to grow tall."

Shitou replied, "Didn’t great-grandpa say drinking wine prolongs life and is good for health? I see grandpa and dad and uncles all drinking, and they are all tall and strong; I think if I start drinking now, I’ll grow tall fast too."
