Perhaps it was due to the natural blood relationship, but when Qiqi saw Uncle Jiang crying, she subconsciously went to wipe his tears.

"Grandpa, don't cry."

Uncle Jiang was filled with emotion. Looking at Qiqi's soft and cute appearance, he couldn't help but think of Jiang Xiaoluo's appearance when she was a child.

"You were even cuter than her when you were a child."

Jiang Xiaoluo couldn't bear to hear this, so she immediately covered her mouth and turned away, not wanting Uncle Jiang to see her sobbing.

But this did not escape the eyes of Uncle Jiang and others.

Zhao Tiezhu hugged Jiang Xiaoluo's shoulders and comforted her, "Don't cry, it's all over."

Liu Huanyi was worried that Jiang Xiaoluo would be soft-hearted and take over the responsibility of taking care of Uncle Jiang, so he said softly, "If that's the case, then Aunt Xiaoluo was abused by the Jiang family when she was a child, why didn't you stop it?"

"I had no choice in this matter." Uncle Jiang smiled bitterly, "Whether you believe it or not, I didn't want to do it. But... forget it, I won't talk about the past. I feel relieved to see that you are living such a good life now."

He was not a competent father, and he knew it in his heart, so he naturally did not dare to expect Jiang Xiaoluo to provide for him in his old age.

"I'm very happy that you can bring her to see me. I have no regrets even if I die now."

Jiang Xiaoluo immediately interrupted Uncle Jiang, "Don't say that. Are you trying to make me feel bad?"

"No." Uncle Jiang quickly denied, "I'm telling the truth. Hey, I won't say it anymore. I don't want to make you unhappy."

As it was getting dark, Zhao Tiezhu and Jiang Xiaoluo had to take Qiqi back.

Uncle Jiang reluctantly said goodbye to Qiqi, "Goodbye, child. You must be filial to your mother in the future. She has a hard life."

Qiqi was still young and didn't understand what Uncle Jiang meant by "very hard life", but she understood that she should be filial to her mother.

"Grandpa, I know. Dad always tells me that!"

"Well, I'm glad to know." Uncle Jiang nodded with relief, "Then you can go back quickly. Don't come again. You are no longer obligated to take care of me. After I rest for two days, I will be discharged from the hospital and return to the village. I will not bother you again in the future."

Jiang Xiaoluo had mixed emotions. The matter had been resolved in the most perfect way, and Aunt Jiang could no longer cause trouble for her, but why did she still feel so heavy in her heart?

Even if the fatherly love that was lacking in the past is made up now, it seems like something is missing.

"Grandpa, let's go now, bye!"

Qiqi skipped and walked in front of her parents. Uncle Jiang stretched his neck as far as he could to take one more look at them, but was ruthlessly separated by the door.

Jiang Xiaoluo couldn't bear it after all, so she went to the nurse's station to extend Uncle Jiang's care for another week, and asked him to inform her in time if there were any changes in Uncle Jiang's physical condition.

After going to the nurse's station, I went to the payment office, paid Uncle Jiang's medical expenses and saved another 5,000 yuan.

After doing all this, she returned to the car.

Seeing the stack of bills in her hand, Zhao Tiezhu knew where she had been without asking.

But he said nothing, just asked her to sit down and get ready to go home.

Qiqi was the only excited person in the car. She kept asking who Jiang Xiaoluo's grandfather was and what his relationship was to their family.

"That's your grandpa, mom's father." Jiang Xiaoluo didn't want to hide it and told Qiqi frankly.

Qiqi's eyes widened, "That's grandpa! Why didn't I know that before?"

"Because mom has only been in touch with them recently."

If Aunt Jiang and Uncle Jiang hadn't come to find her, she would have thought she would have lived her life in peace, but their appearance reminded her: forget it.

Qiqi was shocked, but that didn't stop her from happily climbing up and down and playing in the back seat of the car.

There were toys in the car that Zhao Tiezhu had prepared for her, and she soon forgot about her grandfather.

Jiang Xiaoluo looked at Zhao Tiezhu who was driving seriously and whispered, "I'm sorry, husband."

"Why should you be sorry?" Zhao Tiezhu looked back at her in surprise, "What have you done to make me feel sorry?"

"It's their business." Jiang Xiaoluo lowered her head. "Will you blame me for spending a lot of money on them?"

"Of course not."

Zhao Tiezhu freed one hand, held hers, and kissed it gently on his lips.

"Didn't I tell you that I support whatever decision you make? What's more, your behavior makes me feel that I didn't fall in love with the wrong person. You are still so kind."

"Thank you."

Jiang Xiaoluo burst into tears. If Zhao Tiezhu hadn't been driving, she really wanted to give him a big hug.

In the hospital.

After Jiang Xiaoluo's family left, Uncle Jiang was in a bad mood and lay in bed without saying a word.

Liu Huanyi and Liu Jin went to see the doctor to find out the situation. The doctor said that Uncle Jiang's operation was successful and he would be discharged from the hospital within a week.

This matter was solved perfectly.

After thanking the doctor, Liu Jin planned to take Liu Huanyi out for dinner to reward her for her hard work over the past two days.

Liu Huanyi took out his cell phone, checked the time, and shook his head slightly.

"No, I'm going to catch the bus now."

"Drive a car?"

Liu Jin was surprised, "Where else are you going?"

"Go back to Beijing." Liu Huanyi chuckled, "I have to go back to school, mom."

"Look at me. I've been so busy lately." Liu Jin couldn't bear to leave Liu Huanyi and held her hand reluctantly. "Can't you stay for two more days? When you go back, I won't be able to see you for a while."

"Mom, I'm going back to school, not to do anything else. You don't have to do this."

Liu Huanyi smiled and patted the back of Liu Jin's hand, coaxing her like a child.

"But I just can't bear to do it."

Liu Huanyi promised, "I'll be back when I finish my work, okay?"

Liu Jin's eyes lit up, "Okay, then we have a deal. Mom will be waiting for you in Sucheng. You have to come back early."

"I know."

Liu Jin personally drove her to the station, and before getting off the car, Liu Huanyi suddenly said, "By the way, Mom, there is someone who misses you too."

Liu Jin was stunned for a moment, then blushed when he realized who she was talking about.

"Kid, hurry up and get in the station. Don't be late."

"Okay."

Liu Huanyi turned around and ran inside. Liu Jin sat in the car, thinking about what Liu Huanyi said, and then called Xu Chuxiao.

Xu Chuxiao was very surprised when he received her call.

"Liu Jin, are you free to contact me?"

Knowing that she was handling private matters in Sucheng these days, Xu Chuxiao had been refraining from disturbing her. He was very surprised to receive Liu Jin's call at this moment.

"I'm sorry, I've been busy these days and don't have time to reply to your message."

Xu Chuxiao said, "Don't be embarrassed. I just want to make sure you're safe. I'll feel more at ease knowing that you're okay. When will you be back? Can I pick you up?"

"Okay, I'll tell you when I get back."

"Then I'll pick you up."

"OK."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Jin still had a sweet smile on his face.
