Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1489 - 469: Inquiry and Caution, Inside Chen Cang, Returning in Glory and a Bolt from the Blue_5

Zhang Yuchuan remembered something after speaking and took out three documents from his chest, placing them directly in front of Zhang Qinggu.

[Citizenship]

Seeing the words on the first page of the three documents, Zhang Qinggu’s body shook violently. He quickly browsed through the content and found that the name at the end was left blank. He immediately looked up at his eldest grandson with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

”Grandfather, these three citizenship documents are bought by me from the Subordinate Bureau. As long as you write your names on them, they will take effect immediately. From now on, the four of us in the family will all be citizens.”

Upon receiving confirmation from his grandson, Zhang Qinggu instantly burst into tears. It took him more than ten moments to turn around and look at his two granddaughters, saying excitedly, ”Yuzu, Yuhong, finally we, as grandfather and grandchild, have been through the hardship. Finally, we have been through the hardship. Ha ha ha ha, Shan Hong, Mountain River, if my son knows this beneath the soil, he should rest in peace, he should rest in peace. Ha ha ha ha...”

”Grandfather...”

”Grandfather, please don’t cry, grandfather, sob sob sob...”

Upon hearing Zhang Qinggu mention his father and uncle’s names, Zhang Yuchuan’s eyes instantly turned red; Zhang Yuzhu and Zhang Yuhong immediately rushed to their grandfather’s side, comforting him with words, but couldn’t help crying first themselves.

We really made it through, we really made it through...

Zhang Qinggu forced out a long-held sigh, suddenly his chest surged, his body shook abruptly, his face first turned pale, then was flushed with an unusual redness.

He seemed to realize something, suppressed his excitement, grasped his grandson’s hand, filled with appreciation and excitement in his eyes, spoke softly, ”Yuchuan, good, good, good, grandfather knew those five thousand taels weren’t spent wrongly. The Old Zhang Family has finally turned over. Your two sisters have a future from now on...”

Hearing his grandfather’s intermittent words, Zhang Yuchuan was momentarily stunned before realizing something. He quickly stood up, grabbed his grandfather’s arm, panic and confusion spreading across his face.

”Grandfather, how can your breath be so weak? Fire poison, did you go collecting grains again this year? Two months ago, I already slipped some silver to Zhang Long to exempt you from this year’s labor duty, how could this happen, how could this happen...”

Zhang Yuzhu and Zhang Yuhong also realized something, and hurriedly pushed forward to grab Zhang Qinggu’s arm. The sisters’ faces also rapidly filled with panic, tears falling like a fountain.

”Grandfather...”

”Grandfather has been going out to collect grains every day for over two months. For the first two hours of the night, he was outside too, spending more time than in previous years.”

Hearing the explanation from his second sister Yuzu, Zhang Yuchuan realized the silver he slipped had been entirely ineffective, instantly became furious, turning his head to look towards the main building of the village, great hatred rising in his eyes.

”Grandfather, try using the Healing Pills first...”

But he quickly realized this wasn’t the time to be angry. Flustered, he took out several types of healing pills from the bag and tremblingly held them to Zhang Qinggu’s mouth, signaling him to take them.

”Huff... Silly child, grandfather’s strength may not match yours, but I am clear about my own condition, no need to waste pills. Seeing you succeed before I die, grandfather is already content...”

After a deep breath, Zhang Qinggu’s spirit suddenly improved and he even reached out to push away the pills offered by his grandson.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Yuchuan, who had been holding back tears for a long time, finally couldn’t but let them fall uncontrollably, kneeling directly before Zhang Qinggu.

”Grandfather......”

”Silly child, why cry, you have already succeeded. Look, your two sisters have now both reached Cold Resistance Level, and have the potential for a Superior Battle Body. How is it, grandfather may not be able to compare to you, but the path I have planned for them is not bad, right?”

”Grandfather... Grandfather, please stop talking, Yuchuan doesn’t want you to die, doesn’t want you to die. Yuchuan wants to take you to County City to enjoy life, to pay respect to you, for you to live a long life, you need to see Yuchuan get married and have children, and Yuzu and Hong’er need to get married, grandfather... grandfather...”

”Sob sob sob... Grandfather, Yuzu doesn’t want you to die either.”

”Hong’er wants to go with grandfather to County City, grandfather, sob sob sob...”

The crying of his three descendants was heart-wrenching, adding a bit more attachment and worry to Zhang Qinggu, who was already at his end.

In fact, he had realized months ago that his death was imminent, holding on to his breath just to see his eldest grandson one last time.

Now not only has he seen him, but also seen him successful and renewed, he didn’t have much regret left.

”Yuchuan, stop crying, you are the elder brother, listen to me...”

Hearing his grandfather’s words, Zhang Yuchuan choked back his sobs several times, only raising his head to look at his grandfather’s eyes, tears still streaming downward.

”The Lord Hong in the main building is a good man. Grandfather actually didn’t help him much, just brought him back, answered a few questions. Compared to what he gave Yuzu and Yuhong, it was insignificant.

Listen to me, later go and pay your respects to him, kneeling three times for grandfather to express gratitude. If he’s willing to accept Yuzu and Yuhong as maids, it would be even better. If not, then in the future, your two sisters are to be taken care of by you.

Can you promise grandfather?”

Instinctively showing resistance on his face, Zhang Yuchuan looked at his grandfather’s increasingly weakening breath, knowing it was his grandfather’s dying wish, could only whimper heavily and nod his head.

”That’s good... That’s good, Zhu’er, Yu’er, don’t blame grandfather, sending you away as maids is the best path for families with Slave Status like ours. It’s all grandfather’s fault for being useless, if I had the ability, how could I bear to let my grandsons be sent to serve others as servants?”
