Not to mention standing out as younger among her peers, she even looked like a sister next to her own son.
Wei Tian counted the money, bill by bill.
It was just enough, not a penny more, not a penny less.

Although nowadays smartphones are very practical and one needs nothing else, not even a wallet, they are old and no one taught them how to use these devices.
So, they are still accustomed to withdrawing cash and then transferring it from the bank.
...
Including the principal and interest, over these fifteen years, they have repaid Tang Yuxin a total of 550,000.
“Let’s go and pay them back so we can finally clear this debt,” said Sang Zhilan as she stood up.
They were old, but blessed with good health, free of illness and pain, and robust in spirit.
Once this debt was settled, they could enjoy their twilight years.
Their future pensions weren’t sizeable, but they would suffice for their needs.
Wei Tian nodded and followed Sang Zhilan to the bank.
Then they transferred all the money onto a card, the number of which was deeply etched in both of their memories.
For over a decade, on the fifteenth day of the last month of each year, they had been depositing money into this account.
For fifteen years, they never missed a payment or forgot a date.
Today, at last, as they made the final payment, it felt as if they had shed the heaviest burden of these past years.
After the money had been sent, Sang Zhilan unexpectedly covered her face and began to cry.
Wei Tian patted her back.
“From now on, we don’t have to live for others.”
“Yes,” Zhilan raised her face, her eyes much more peaceful than before.
They could now live for themselves.
Barely in their fifties, they had at least twenty more years to live, and they intended to live well.
They didn’t need to earn much—as long as they were free from illness and misfortune, they’d be content.
At that same moment, a cellphone rang on the table.
A fair and lovely finger reached out, picked up the phone, and placed it in front of her.
“Knock knock...”
Tang Yuxin stared blankly at her son as Gu Yu threw up his hands in surrender.
Alright, whatever his mother called him, be it Xiaobai, Gu Yu, or any other name, was fine by him.
“Are you ready to apply to Qing University?” Tang Yuxin queried her son.
“Are you sure you can get in?”
“Of course,” Gu Yu was always serious about his studies.
He and his brother were constantly vying for the top two spots in their class.
Failing to get into Qing University would be embarrassing.
His mother had once been the province’s top scholar in liberal arts, after all.
Their generation had to outshine the last, not lag behind.
Even if he didn’t earn top honours in Beijing, he was certain to be accepted into Qing University.
Furthermore, he felt like he didn’t even need to attend school anymore.
His medical skills were now second to none in Beijing’s main hospital, except for his mother, of course.
She had been taking him into the operating room since he was ten, even assisting her with numerous patients.
Although it broke rules, Grandpa Zhu, the head of the hospital, had fully approved, as Gu Yu was to remain there in the future.
Thus, they nurtured his growth from an early age.
As a result, college had little to teach him now.
Yet, it was still imperative for him to attend in the end.
“How is your big brother doing?” Tang Yuxin continued, her gaze returning to the medical case she was writing.
She hadn’t been deeply involved in raising her two boys, as their grandfather had largely taken on the responsibility, fostering a deep bond between them.
While she wasn’t there for their upbringing, she never failed to teach them what they needed to know day by day.
Gu Yu, hugging his basketball, replied, “Big brother passed his physical.
He’ll start school earlier than me.”
“Good,” Tang Yuxin acknowledged.
As she had imagined, Gu Yu had indeed pursued a career in medicine, perfectly mastering the Chen Family’s Rejuvenation Acupuncture Technique.
His hands could already sense the flow of qi and blood within the body.
It seemed likely his achievements would surpass hers, thanks to the physical advantages men have over women, not to mention Gu Yu’s superior comprehension.
Tang Yuxin had never considered herself exceptionally intelligent; she had merely benefited from the experience of an extra lifetime, which granted her unwavering resolve and exquisite self-discipline.
