After Fifth Master sat on it, he found that the wheelchair was very comfortable. The seat cushion was soft, and there was a backrest to support the waist, so he would not have back pain even if he sat for a long time.
With just a little effort, the wheelchair was pushed forward lightly, and the two wheels slid out nimbly and lightly with almost no sound.
The Fifth Master's eyes widened with surprise. He originally thought that even if he could push the wheelchair, he would have to use a lot of strength. This function was not practical for patients with poor health and little strength. Someone still had to push it from behind.
However, after he tried it himself, he found that it didn't take much strength to make the wheels slide, and even a person with little strength could push it by himself.
"Madam Wei, this wheelchair is so well made!" The Fifth Master was very surprised and praised generously, "It is much better than those bulky and rough ones out there. This is a real wheelchair."
"As long as Fifth Grandpa thinks it's good, why don't we let Fifth Grandma try? She can use a little strength in her left hand now." Wei Shichu suggested. She gave Fifth Grandma acupuncture and medication treatment for seven or eight days, and the effect was already evident.
"Okay, let her try." Grandpa Wu said, then he sat in the wheelchair and pushed it to Grandma Wu's room.
Wei Shichu had no choice but to take his crutches with him.
"Madam, look, this is the wheelchair made for you by the girl from the Wei family. You can go out by yourself in the future." The Fifth Master said to the Fifth Grandmother with a beaming face.
After these days of treatment, Fifth Grandma's complexion looked much better, she had gained some flesh, and her eyes were no longer lifeless. Hearing Fifth Grandpa's words, she became interested and looked at the wheelchair.
Although she didn't say anything, the Fifth Master knew from her eyes that she was not resisting, so he ordered a strong maid to carry her to the wheelchair.
"This wheelchair is very easy to use. You can push it while sitting on it. When you get better and recover and have more strength, you can move around by yourself. But now you have to let the servants push you." The Fifth Grandfather was as excited as a child. He kept bragging about the wheelchair to the Fifth Grandmother and couldn't wait to let her see the effect.
The maid pushed the wheelchair out of the door easily. Fifth Grandma widened her eyes in surprise. This was the first time she had left the room after being bedridden for a year.
The light outside the door was too bright, so she couldn't help but squint her eyes, but when she saw the empty and beautiful scenery outside, her mood suddenly improved, as if the depression she had felt for losing her only grandson was alleviated a lot.
"Push Fifth Grandma to the garden. The flowers in the garden are blooming beautifully now." Wei Shichu said softly.
"Yes, yes, just push it to the garden." The Fifth Master followed happily with his crutches.
Wei Shichu picked up little Zhao Lue, who looked at the old man in the wheelchair with curiosity with his round eyes. Wei Shichu said to him, "This is your great-grandmother. You should call her great-grandmother."
"Grandma?" Zhao Lue's voice was childish, but it was as bright as the rising sun and sprouting grass seeds, full of hope and vitality.
Looking at his lovely and well-behaved great-grandson and his wife in a wheelchair who finally regained hope in life, the Fifth Master could not help but burst into tears. He thought that fate was not so cruel to him, and he could not help but feel fortunate that he had adopted Zhao Lue at all costs.
Fifth great-grandmother went to the garden and sat quietly in a wheelchair. Fifth great-grandfather spoke softly to her beside her, and Wei Shichu introduced the flowers and plants in the garden to Zhao Lue.
Although the Fifth Master's family was poor, they had never had many descendants, so a lot of property had been passed down from generation to generation. Moreover, there was the gold, silver and jewelry that Zhao Yiran had given him as a reward. So the family was not poor. They had a garden and servants. Although the flowers and plants planted in the garden were not rare, they were beautiful and numerous.
Grandma Wu listened to Grandpa Wu's endless chatter, but her eyes turned to Wei Shichu who was patiently accompanying her son. Finally, after a long time, she asked, "Whose family is this girl from?"
Although Wei Shichu had been treating her before, he had never introduced himself, so the Fifth Grandma only knew from the servants and the Fifth Master that she was Zhao Lue's biological mother.
"She was originally Zhao Yiran's concubine, but Zhao Yiran gave her a concubine's certificate, so she is now a free person." The Fifth Master replied, "Her father is Prince An, but she does not plan to return to Prince An's Mansion. She even bought the house next door to us and wants to be our neighbor."
"Prince An's daughter? She doesn't want to go back, but will Prince An agree?" Even though Fifth Grandma's health hadn't recovered yet, she was already worried about Wei Shichu.
"I'm not sure, but she has been away from Zhao Yiran for such a long time. If Prince An cares about her, why hasn't he come? Since he doesn't come, it means he doesn't care." said the Fifth Master.
"How can things be so simple?" Fifth Grandma was not so optimistic. Wei Shichu had been patient and efficient when treating her during this period. Even though she never spoke a word, it did not mean that she was not grateful to Wei Shichu.
After that day, Fifth Grandma's physical and mental health gradually improved. She went to the garden to relax every day in a wheelchair. She treated Zhao Lue and Wei Shichu like her own juniors and had obviously accepted them, mother and son.
The Fifth Master was extremely grateful to Wei Shichu for this, and even proposed to adopt her as his goddaughter, so that she could live in the Zhao family with a legitimate reason and be with Zhao Lue.
"I became your godgranddaughter, but my son is your great-grandson. Isn't this...not right?" Wei Shichu asked hesitantly.
"What's wrong with that? We are separate entities, and I recognize you as my goddaughter, not my real granddaughter. What's the problem? Even if you are a real granddaughter, your son is still my great-grandson. Now he is adopted as my great-grandson, isn't that perfect?" The Fifth Master persuaded her.
Grandma Wu also nodded in agreement: "The old man is right. There are only four of us in our family, even if you are included. There is no need to pay attention to so many rules and regulations. As long as our family can live together in peace and harmony, isn't that enough?"
"Yes, young people should not be more old-fashioned and conservative than us old people," the Fifth Master continued.
"Since you have said so, wouldn't it be ungrateful if I don't agree?" Wei Shichu said happily, "Then you will be my grandparents from now on."
"Okay, you are a good child. Let's choose an auspicious day for the ceremony." Grandma Wu was very happy.
So just like that, Wei Shichu inexplicably became the goddaughter of the Fifth Grandfather and Fifth Grandmother, and moved into the family legitimately. There was no need to find any reasons. This was something that both parties were happy about, and it was the best of both worlds.
