Be Good, Grandma Will Send You Here
About This Novel
I was sent to the hospital for medical treatment by the village cadres. The doctor in the city said that I had a disease that would lead to dementia and that I would slowly forget everyone. I squatted in front of the hospital and finished eating a piece of cake I brought from home, and then made a phone call to my granddaughter. She was the golden phoenix of our village. She flew out after getting into college and never came back. The only letter he sent back said that he was severing ties with me but would give me annual alimony. The phone went through, and I originally wanted to cheer her up by saying I was sick. But when the words came to his lips, he changed to: "... Danan, when will your money be paid this year?" The other end sneered. "Are you confused? I already had a fight this month. Why, you don't think you have enough money to buy a coffin?" I squatted by the hospital flower bed, laughing so much that I drooled. Da Nan is indeed the most promising child in the village. Even I knew I wanted to buy a coffin. With all the money she had collected over the years, she would probably be able to get a good coffin.
