Chapter 729 - Visiting The Qin Family VI (2/2)
”I guess it has something to do with Xian Tingfeng.”
The Old Woman raised her eyes and looked at the row of tombstones in the distance. ”Let's not talk about this. Meili, go find something to clean this grass.”
Mrs. Qin was initially worried about the Old Woman, but after seeing she was okay, Mrs. Qin thought her mother wanted to talk to her father only, so she nodded, ”Alright.”
She then left, leaving the Old Woman alone.
Since it was still early in the morning and this cemetery was located on the mountain, it was exceptionally quiet.
The Old Woman stood in front of the tombstone and looked at the words engraved in it for a long time. It was as if she saw something through the tombstone.
Then she slowly squatted down and gently fiddled with the burnt paper money on the ground. Then, she raised her head to look at the tombstone. ”Do you blame me?
After saying that, she gently caressed the tombstone. Her fingers caressed the name written on it, and her old eyes were filled with nostalgia.
”After so many years, every year when I come to visit you, I will tell you about our daughter and grandson. I will always tell you happy things, but today, I don't know how to be happy when I visit you. Old Wan, we've all offended people we shouldn't. I deeply regret it.”
”Are you really so regretful?”
Suddenly, a faint voice came from behind her. It was the same old voice, but also a bit serious.
The Old Woman's hand became stiff. She turned around and saw Old Man Xian walking step by step with his cane. It was unknown when he arrived.
”Who told you to come?” The Old Woman frowned, her expression ice-cold.
”I came by myself.” He stood a few meters away from her and did not come close. He kept looking at her and said, ”I saw you two out in the morning, so I followed you. Coincidentally, I found a taxi, so I followed you all the way.”
The Old Woman pursed her lip, her expression cold and tense.
Since he had already come, she could only tell him to leave immediately. But knowing Old Man Xian, how could he possibly leave?
Forget it, what should come will eventually come.
She sighed faintly and no longer looked at him. Instead, she turned to look at the tombstone in front of her.
Old Man Xian slowly walked forward, but the Old Woman didn't even look at him as she said coldly, ”Don't come near us, don't dirty our place.”
Old Man Xian stopped and looked at her for a while before sighing. ”Xing Jia, we're already old. We still have a few years to complain and hate each other. Let's have a good chat, okay?”
”We have nothing to talk about. As you said, I am already old. I don't have any resentment and I only want to live my remaining years peacefully. It's better that you leave.” The Old Woman's gaze was fixed on the tombstone as she spoke with a cold and detached voice.
Old Man Xian was quiet for a moment. He looked at the tombstone in front of him and then said hoarsely, ”Actually, he is lucky.”
The Old Woman looked at him coldly because of his words.
Old Man Xian squinted at the tombstone and said, ”At the very least, you were truly together, married, had children, and had a family. Although his life was ruined because of my anger and confusion at that time, he has had dozens of years of longing and time with you.”
”Xing Jia, I apologize for everything I did to you and your husband back then. I know I went overboard, but I still don't understand, why can't you wait for two years? If you had waited for me, it might not have ended like this.”
”Of course, I'm not blaming you. I'm here to apologize and to repay for my sins. Even though I didn't kill him, he still died because of me. Today, even if you want me to die here, I'm willing. Just tell me, why is that?”
