Come on Daddy!

Chapter 296 He Can Solve It with Money

Doris reached out to take Wilfred's hand and shook it lightly. She pouted, "Great-grandfather, Dad is right. We'll be worried about you. Just come back to the city with us. I'm already used to your cooking. I cannot eat well without you. Great-grandfather..."

Wilfred couldn't resist Doris' cute look and childish words. He softened and looked at Doris, "But great- grandfather can't leave this family. I want to stay here with your great-grandmother."

"It's spring now. I have to farm. If I leave, the fields will be deserted. I only know how to farm. So, I'm afraid I'll trouble you a lot if I go to the city with you. So, I will not go. I will be fine and take care of myself."

Wilfred stretched out his wrinkled and dry hand and touched the top of Doris' head, his eyes full of love.

"Grandpa, your health is more important. Don't be so stubborn." Rose felt sad when she saw how stubborn her grandfather was, "We cannot just go back and leave you here. If you do not go with us, then we will stay with you here all the time."

Rose held Doris' shoulder and made such a decision.

"Yes, Mom and I will stay with you." Doris nodded heavily.

"This won't do. You have to go to school and your Mom has to take care of your Dad. How can you guys stay here all the time?" Wilfred shook his head, "You don't have to worry about me."

"Grandpa, if you don't want us to worry, then come back with me." Rose also insisted.

"Grandpa, are you afraid that there will be no one to farm?" Bright knew that Wilfred worried about his fields and did not want to see them deserted in spring, "I'll find a way to farm. Then you should go back to the city with me, okay?"

Wilfred looked at Bright in confusion, "You don't want to do it for me, do you? You can't do this..."

"Grandpa, it's true that I'm not good at this. I'm not going to mindlessly parade my ability either. But I can solve it." Bright looked to Rose, "Take good care of Grandpa, and I'll go to get it done."

Bright said to Wilfred again and was afraid of him backtracking, "Grandpa, then it is decided." All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Bright, I really don't want to go." Wilfred showed a sign of embarrassment.

Bright's eyes were dark and calm. He said sincerely, "Grandpa, although Rose and I got married, we have not yet held the wedding. I am also preparing for a wedding. Our parents will meet for dinner recently to discuss this. As Rose's grandfather, how can you be absent?"

Rose was a little surprised that Bright would say this. She glanced at Bright and did not interrupt him, just listening to him.

"You are an elder and relative that she cares about. I don't think either you or she would want to miss such an important event. Once you missed it, it would be a regret forever. Grandma has gone. But I think she also wants you to go to the wedding to bless us on her behalf. Don't you think so?"

Bright's words were pertinent and heartfelt. Wilfred indeed had no more reason to refuse.

He definitely wanted to attend his granddaughter's wedding and see her happy. But...

"I'll think about it again." Grandpa finally relented.

Bright nodded, "Then I will wait for Grandpa's good news."

After saying that, he went out. Seeing Bright leave, Rose asked Doris to play in the yard for a while, "Great-grandfather and mom have a secret to share."

Doris was sensible enough to go out.

Rose sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Wilfred, saying, "Grandpa, why don't you want to go? Is it because of my mother?"

Wilfred paused for a moment, and then his face was gloomy, "I really don't want to see your mother. Your grandmother and I can't forgive her for her selfishness! She doesn't want to see me either. So why bother?"

"Grandpa, I understand your feelings. It's okay if you don't want to see her. We can never see her." Rose also knew that what her mother had done had let her grandparents down. So, they were not on good terms, "We can go to City J, not City H."

"City J?" Wilfred was puzzled.

"Bright is from City J." Rose explained, "So we can go back to City J."

Wilfred's face softened, but he still did not say anything.

He wanted to get off the bed, "I am going to see what Bright is doing."

"Grandpa, he'll deal with it. Don't worry." Rose said, "You just fainted and need to rest."

At Rose's insistence, Wilfred took an extra hour's rest. Then, Rose took Doris to the field with him. They only saw that Bright stood there and there was someone who were registering something with their books, while the villagers were all lined up there.

Rose and Wilfred didn't know what Bright was doing. So, they walked to him. Bright also saw them and came over to hold Wilfred.

Wilfred watched those who registered went to his field, ripped the seedlings and bundled them, and carried them to the field. The people over there started to transplant rice seedlings. Everything was in order.

"What are they doing?" Wilfred said.

"Grandpa, don't worry. I will not waste your seedlings and will not let your field deserted." Bright did not tell Wilfred, "Rose, you should let grandpa rest at home."

Wilfred, however, did not leave and just watched them here. The people in the village were farming. Soon, some people finished their tasks and went to the place where they registered just now to report their names. Then, there was another person to give money to them. These who received the money left.

When someone passed by Wilfred after taking the money, he said, "Mr. Wilfred, your granddaughter-in- law is really nice."

"Yes. I am willing to help you for such things in the future." Another person said.

As Wilfred watched the people who had taken the money go back to their fields to farm, he asked Bright, "This is what you came up with?"

"Buy labor with money." Bright admitted, "I think this is the best way."

"But you work hard to earn the money... I cannot watch you waste it like this." Wilfred felt sorry, "The money could buy so much food."

"Grandpa, don't say this. These seedlings can also produce a lot of food." Bright didn't want Wilfred to know about such a solution.

After all, he was a businessman. The easiest way he chose was to solve it with money.

It was okay even if it would cost more money. Because there would be less trouble.

"And they will help you take care of your farm until you come back. You can also feel free to go to the city with us and do not have to worry about it." Bright had saved Wilfred from his worries.

Seeing that Bright had already arranged it, Wilfred had even less reason to refuse. He agreed, "Before I go, I want to go and say goodbye to your grandmother."

"OK. We'd like to meet grandmother too, so that she can know me and Doris," Bright said gladly.
