Seeing her daughter's anxious and flustered state, Liang Qing immediately stepped forward and took her daughter's hand.
She said softly, "Didn't Mom tell you? The uncle who used to visit you often, the one who brought you to the hospital today, is your father's brother. And this grandma in front of you..."
While Liang Qing hesitated about what to say.
Zhao's mother said directly, "Niannian, I am your uncle's mother, and also your father's mother. You should call me grandma. I am your real grandma."
As Zhao's mother spoke, her expression became emotional.
Niannian's little face was full of big questions.
Liang Qing initially hid the news of her father's passing from her daughter, but as the child grew older and developed her own ideas, she kept telling her that Zhao Qingyu had gone out to work.
Niannian eagerly awaited when her father would finish work and come home.
Liang Qing realized that her daughter's longing for her father was too deep. As she was deciding whether to tell the truth, the mischievous kids in the tenement mocked Niannian for not having a father, saying that Niannian's father had died long ago...
Liang Qing took the opportunity to explain it to her daughter.
She didn't know if her daughter could understand what death was, but after she finished speaking that day, Niannian was silent at first, but then cried for a long time.
But after crying, she never asked about her father again.
Liang Qing only brought it up with Niannian recently because of Zhao Qingzhou.
Niannian calmed down after hearing what her mother said.
Because she is blind, she is very afraid of unfamiliar environments and unfamiliar people.
After being comforted by her mother, Niannian calmed down.
She asked softly, "Grandma, did you come to see me because you knew I broke my leg and was hospitalized? Uncle carried me here this morning, I love Uncle so much."
Niannian even thought to herself that her father must be just as good as her uncle.
Zhao's mother was a sentimental person, and her eyes welled up with tears after hearing Niannian's words.
She held Niannian's hand and said gently, "It's Grandma's fault for coming to see you so late. But believe me, Grandma will definitely cure your eyes. Grandma has money, and the money Grandma saved was originally meant for you..."
To be precise, it was money prepared for his youngest son, who had been sent to the countryside, to return to the city.
Zhao's mother and husband prepared a sum of money for their youngest son, intending to use their connections to transfer him back to the city, and then find him a job or help him take the college entrance exam.
Unfortunately, none of these things were achieved.
Liang Qing didn't know what to say. After becoming a mother, she was more understanding of Zhao's mother's disagreement than before.
Liang Qing stood aside, listening to Zhao's mother and Niannian talking about taking her home to live after her leg injury healed, and also mentioning that the Zhao family had an older brother who was a little older than Niannian.
He also said that he would take good care of Niannian's eyes in the future.
Niannian said very sensibly, "Thank you, Grandma. Grandma, I want to live with my mom. I can't come to be with you now, but when I grow up, I will take good care of you and Uncle."
Hearing her child's words, Zhao's mother immediately said, "Grandma isn't taking you away by yourself, she's letting you and your daughter both go home to live. You're just like your father, always so kind-hearted."
Liang Qing looked at Zhao's mother helplessly, both crying and laughing.
Zhao's mother stayed with Niannian in the ward for almost an hour before Liang Qing reminded her that it was getting dark and she should hurry back, as it might be unsafe for her to go home in the dark.
Zhao's mother then nodded.
I said goodbye to Niannian and told her I would come to see her again tomorrow.
