C170 (1/2)
They walked back and forth through the streets and alleys of the city, living in poverty. There were people pointing fingers at them from behind and children throwing stones at them, but they had their own happiness.
Every night before bedtime small story, a piece of meat modesty, an apple sharing, is the source of happiness for the grandchild and grandchild.
Her son was unfilial and did not even give her a single cent of alimony, but she was still very strong. She saved up money bit by bit for her to go to school, and she also tried to give her the best life. She even hid the fact that she was sick until she could no longer hide it.
At that time, the grandfather and grandson duo's sky collapsed.
The happy days were gone.
The high medical fees made the old lady ask for more than one time to give up treatment.
Her little granddaughter was only 15 years old. How could she bear to implicate her?
However, she had forgotten that to a little girl who had nothing at all, a grandmother who depended on each other for her life was her heaven. For her grandmother's sake, she was willing to pay any price.
A heart for my grandmother's life.
For such a foolish matter like this, if time were to flow backwards and allow her to make a choice, she would do the same.
The old man's vision had become completely blurry from the frequent recurrence of his illness. He could barely make out anyone.
Stretching out his hand, he seemed to be able to see the old man's limited life force rapidly disappearing.
”Xiao Xiao, tell me honestly, what happened to Liangxia?”
His words were intermittent and unclear. He needed to carefully analyze them before he could hear what the old man was saying.
Ye Ci held onto her shriveled hand, stroking her knuckles that had become deformed due to overwork, and said softly, ”Grandma, I'm here. I'm fine, I'm just pregnant. Take a look, the child is about to be born, and at that time, you'll have to give me your name.”
”Cold summer?” The old man's pupils dilated as she tried her best to see if the child in front of her was the child she wanted to see the most. However, there was only a blurry image in front of her.
”It's me, Grandmother. It's really me.” With both hands clasped together, the gradually withering old man was in stark contrast to the vigorous young ShaoAi. The old man's vitality was being drained away, and a hand that was as withered as a dried up tree trunk was placed on the girl's bulging belly.
”Child, do you have a child?”
The old man's eyes gradually lit up, the corners of his mouth curling up into a gratified smile.
”You've grown up. Grandma is also relieved! ” In the old man's heart, she really didn't have much to think about seeing her granddaughter, who had been mutually dependent since she was young, getting married and having children.
She felt as if something was pressing down on her throat, making her choke to the point of being unable to speak. She could only hold tightly onto her grandma's hand defensively, as if this would prevent her grandma from leaving her.
The old man called Xiao Ming to his side.
Over and over again, I told Xiao to take good care of Shen Liangxia.
Even though he used a lot of strength, he did not use much strength. Xiao Bu Dian only needed to struggle slightly to break free, but Xiao Bu Dian did not shake off his hand. He followed the elder's wishes and grabbed Ye Wu Chen's hand as he made a solemn promise.
The old man was tired and called the others over. He said a few simple words to tell them that he was missing a person and opened his mouth, but no sound came out. Xiao Bu Dian could tell that his mouth had the form of 'JIANGYING' and frowned, but his second aunt, who could not find his daughter until now, was already crying so hard that she was out of breath. She said that she could not find anyone and wanted Xiao Ming to help her find someone.
No one had told the old lady why Jiang Ying had disappeared. First aunt and third aunt, who knew the cause and effect, had not mentioned it at all; second aunt was guilty of guilt; Xiao Bu Dian's enthusiasm had already ruined their future at the Xiao Clan. Their current life was not going well, so naturally, they did not dare to tell the old lady about it; they could only secretly search for it; however, until now, they still did not have a clue.
Now that the Old Granny had spoken, hope inevitably rose in Second Aunt's heart, leading her to the topic of Xiao Huai's enthusiasm.
The old man, who did not know the truth, turned his gaze in the direction of Xiao Yan's enthusiasm. He looked at Xiao Yu in a pleading manner, waiting for Xiao Yan to make a promise.
Xiao Yue cordially looked at the little girl in her arms. She, too, did not understand the truth behind Jiang Ying's disappearance. At this moment, she was still looking at him expectantly, not because of Jiang Ying, but because the old man would be able to rest in peace.
The big one was Jiang Ying. In the eyes of the old one, she was still her granddaughter. When she was young, she had once cutely and cutely celebrated as she tried to curry favor with Chu Feng.
Xiao Bu Dian nodded his head in the end.
The people who cared the most had a good home to return to, and the children had a good future. Even the granddaughter who ran away from home had hope of finding home.
The old man went quietly.
She did not care about the hardships she had endured for most of her life, did not care about the responsibilities her son and daughter-in-law had failed to fulfill, and did not care about the hardships she had suffered because of her illness. She only held in her heart a small amount of guilt that she could not explain to Xiao Dian.
She wanted to be strong for her entire life. In order to raise and raise her daughter's illegitimate daughter, she had endured hardships, endured fatigue, and was sick, but when she laid in her sickbed and listened to her son and daughter-in-law quarreling over a little money, because her grandson's bridal chamber was filled with complaints, she had lost her backbone.
