Chapter 178 178 Old Stories
Su Xiao was incredibly curious and really wanted to go and see, but unfortunately, she was chased away by Grandma Su when she tried to help.
It's a bit of a pity, a shame I couldn't see the excitement.
Before dinner, Grandpa Su pushed Grandma Su back home. Both of them looked listless and in very poor condition.
Su Xiao raised an eyebrow. Was it a success or a failure?
The next day, Su Dayong came again to inquire about the situation.
Su Xiao continued eavesdropping and got the answer: it was a failure.
Upon hearing this, Su Dayong was so angry that he smashed a stool in the yard. "Mother, are you just giving me the runaround? You didn't actually go looking for anyone! Don't forget, after you pass away, you'll still need your son to break the basin for you..."
Grandpa Su was so angry that he rushed out to slap him across the face, but unfortunately, Grandpa Su was too old to be a match for Su Dayong, and he was pushed to the ground.
"Old man!" Grandma Su saw this scene from her bed, her eyes wide with fury.
Seeing this, Su Xiao stopped watching the show and immediately rushed out of the room to ask her grandfather, "Grandpa, are you alright?"
Grandpa Su seemed to be in great pain, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Su Xiao glared angrily at Su Dayong, "Hurry up and help take Grandpa to the hospital!"
Su Dayong knew he had caused trouble and took two steps back in fear. Seeing Su Xiao scolding him, he became even angrier and decided to throw caution to the wind, "I didn't even use any force, you rushed over here on your own. Don't try to blame me, you useless old man, hmph..."
After saying that, he turned and ran away.
"You beast, you beast!" Grandma Su shouted, slapping the edge of the bed as she lay there.
Su Xiao frowned and looked at Grandpa Su, "Grandpa, can you move? I'll go find someone to take you to the hospital."
She couldn't move him by herself and was about to go find someone when she heard Grandpa Su say, "I'm fine, help me up."
“Huh? Oh…” Su Xiao responded blankly.
Grandpa Su's face was dark, but he helped Su Xiao get up smoothly.
Su Xiao looked at him in surprise; he seemed to be alright.
Grandpa Su sighed, rubbed his back as he closed the courtyard gate, and said, "I did it on purpose. If I hadn't fallen like that, he would have said so much more nonsense before he would have left."
Su Xiao was surprised; she hadn't expected her grandfather to be a movie star.
But it's good that he's alright. There's already someone bedridden in the family; if another one comes along, it'll be difficult for her.
fortunately!
"Xiaoxiao, come in." Grandma Su was relieved to hear that Grandpa Su was alright.
Su Xiao wondered why her grandmother was calling her in, but she went in anyway.
"Xiaoxiao, would you like to hear my story?" Grandma Su looked forlornly at the darkening sky outside. Perhaps she was indeed troubled and needed to confide in someone. Without waiting for my reply, she began to speak to herself.
Su Xiao raised an eyebrow and found a seat.
The story is a bit old-fashioned. Grandma Su's family owned a tailor shop. In those days, her family had some assets. She had also attended a girls' school and was very popular with promising young men. She had a childhood sweetheart.
Unfortunately, they didn't end up together. When Grandma Su suffered misfortune, the man used the only money she had to pull strings and join the army, abandoning her in the process.
When they met again years later, he was a high-ranking leader, while she was just a rural peasant woman.
The man felt guilty towards Grandma Su and promised her that she could come to him if she ever had any difficulties, and he would help her.
Over the years, Grandma Su had only approached him once, to arrange a job for Su Dayong. This is why Su Dayong believed that Grandma Su had connections.
