Chapter 602: Her life was a failure

"Xiaoyun, are you tired from working lately?"

The old lady pondered for a long time, then spoke in a weak voice, asking Yang Yun in a concerned tone.

Yang Yun was reading a thick academic work. When she heard what the old lady on the hospital bed said, she took her eyes off the book, adjusted her glasses, and looked at the old lady, "Mom, I'm not tired."

"Where's Xiaoye? Is he still in school?"

She asked about her grandson again.

"He's taking an exam today. Tomorrow, Saturday, he'll come to see you."

After Yang Yun finished speaking, she asked, "Mom, do you want some water?"

The old lady shook her head and said, "I'm not thirsty."

"Oh, then you lie down and rest. If you need anything, just tell me. I'm here."

After saying this, Yang Yun started to read her book attentively again.

The old lady knew that although her daughter-in-law was polite and respectful to her, she was actually very distant from her.

She has been like this for so many years, neither hot nor cold.

I didn't argue with her, I just tried to avoid her as much as possible.

The old lady felt very upset and couldn't sleep. She said, "Xiao Yun, can you chat with me for a while?"

After hearing what the old lady said, Yang Yun put down the book in her hand.

She looked serious as usual, "Mom, what do you want to say?"

There were only her and the old lady in the hospital at the moment, so she could only cooperate with the old lady and asked.

If the old lady was at home and in good health, and she asked Yang Yun to chat with her, Yang Yun would only say that she was busy.

She didn't want to talk to the old lady.

Because she didn't approve of, or even tolerated, the way the old lady handled many things.

The old lady looked weak, looked at Yang Yun, and sighed, "Do you all hate me, an old lady?"

Hearing this, Yang Yun adjusted his glasses again, and a rare hint of surprise appeared on his usually serious face.

She asked, "Mom, why do you say that?"

"In fact, I know that you all don't like me, but you are all very sensible. Since I am the elder, you have tolerated me for so many years."

The old lady said slowly, "Especially the eldest couple. We haven't been in touch for so many years. They hate me in their hearts. Even the daughter of the eldest family, who came back home, didn't dare to show up in front of me, an old woman, and never called me grandma. I know they have no feelings for me."

䥍Last night, Tang Min and Tang Liye both showed up because she was injured.

Send her to the hospital and take care of her...

The bottom of the leg is made by breaking bones and tendons.

The old lady felt ashamed.

That year, when Molly gave birth, she was angry and didn't take care of her.

That's why their children were taken away.

When a woman needs her mother-in-law's care the most, she is absent.

She is old now.

They need to be taken care of.

They did not choose to ignore it. When she was injured, they showed up at the first moment.

It's the most I can do.

What else did she hate about them?

He is half buried in the ground, but he is not as dignified and clear-headed as the younger generation.

"Mom, why did you suddenly mention my elder brother and his wife?"

This was the first time the old lady took the initiative to mention Tang Liye and Molly.

In the past, every time Tang Jianye complained about the old lady's unreasonableness, the old lady would come up with a lot of excuses and then have a quarrel with Tang Jianye.

In the morning, Yang Yun heard Tang Jingyue tell her that her uncle and aunt had come to the hospital last night, and her uncle stayed there until dawn before leaving.

Could it be... that the old lady was moved?

Yang Yun looked at the old lady with inquiring eyes.

She didn't really believe that this old lady could be moved.

"In fact, Jianye said something that was quite right. I was also responsible for what happened back then, but I couldn't face myself, so I put all the blame on the boss. Over the years, I have never been willing to face my own mistakes, so I have never associated with them and don't want to see him. I am afraid that if I see him, I will think of Jiang Sen in prison, and I will feel uncomfortable."

The old lady rarely reveals her true feelings.

Hearing the old lady's words, Yang Yun was really shocked. She said in a serious tone, "Mom, my brother did nothing wrong back then. No matter why you hate him and cut off ties with him, we all respect him and support his actions. You are Jianye's mother and the grandmother of my two children. As your daughter-in-law, I cannot influence your thoughts, nor will I make any comments on your behavior."

She just needs to fulfill her responsibilities as a daughter-in-law.

She had long given up arguing with this stubborn and selfish old lady or trying to change her mind.

Back then, she also tried hard to ease the relationship between the old lady and her eldest brother and his wife.

This old lady was scolding people randomly, saying she was meddling in other people's business and not putting herself in the right position.

Since then, Yang Yun gave up communicating with her.

"I know, but I just can't face them. I can't face my dead parents and my eldest brother and his wife either."

The old lady said that the baby started to cry.

Last night she really thought she was going to die, and at that moment her heart was filled with regrets and unfulfilled wishes.

She missed the old couple, missed Jiang Sen in prison, and missed her relatives in the underworld.

She really had to face the fact that her life was a failure.

To outsiders, she is a very blessed person with two promising sons and a bunch of grandchildren.

But only she herself knows how much of a failure her life has been.

The second son, Jianye, had a good personality and temper, and was very filial to her, but he was never forgiving with his words. He said that he was filial to her because he was her son, and she did not approve of her behavior.

Everyone showed her superficial respect only because she was an old lady.

They just gave in to her out of the most basic respect for the elderly and love for the young.

The old lady felt very upset, but she valued her reputation more than anything else, so she had always been unwilling to admit that she was wrong.

She had never admitted her mistakes to anyone in her life. When the old man was alive, he always gave in to her and put her at the center of everything.

Now she is asked to confess in front of a group of young people, but she can't do it.

Seeing that the old lady had started to cry, Yang Yun frowned and said, "Mom, don't get too excited. Take good care of yourself."

Yang Yun was not willing to discuss who was right and who was wrong with the old lady. They couldn't even chat about this. The old lady wanted to tell Yang Yun about her troubles and hoped that Yang Yun could enlighten and comfort her. However, Yang Yun simply ignored her words.

The old lady sobbed twice, then lay back on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling of the ward.

After Aunt Wang brought over dinner, Yang Yun accompanied the old lady to eat in the hospital. Yang Yun asked Aunt Wang to go home, and she would stay to accompany her in the evening.

Tang Jianye was not at home, and if she didn't accompany him, her daughter Jingyue would have to do it. They were worried about letting a nanny look after him, and they couldn't convince Tang.

Tang Liye came to the hospital again in the evening. He did not enter the ward, but stood in the corridor outside the ward.
