Chapter 177: Past Events
She actually wanted to ask him why he had to stand up to block the knife. If the opponent was stronger, or if the wound was not on his arm but on a vital part...
She was in a state of confusion and couldn't make sense of what was going on.
But the moment I heard his voice on the phone, all my confusion and doubts seemed to be cleared away, and I instinctively became concerned about his injuries.
What you think about during the day, you dream about at night.
At four o'clock in the morning, Tang Qi woke up from her sleep. She got up and went to the kitchen refrigerator to pour a glass of ice water to suppress the fear in her heart.
She had a dream in which Mo Shaochen was lying in her arms, covered in blood.
After drinking the ice water in one breath, she subconsciously touched the corner of her eyes, and her fingertips felt a little wet.
She went back to the bedroom and picked up the phone from the bedside table. It was 4:05.
A rattan chair and a round table were newly added to the balcony. After my grandmother's eyesight recovered, in addition to taking a stroll downstairs on weekdays, she also went to the flower and bird market to buy a lot of flowers and plants.
The emerald green ivy, the purple bamboo plum, the fragrant jasmine, the colorful geraniums, and several pots of succulents make the place full of vitality.
Grandma was used to being frugal. Even though she said that the family was not short of money now and she gave her grandmother a lot of cash for pocket money, the old lady was still reluctant to spend money. She only bought cheap fruits and vegetables. Even the flowers and plants on the balcony were bought at half price with Aunt Liu.
The two of them tinker with the flowers and plants at home when they have nothing to do, taking good care of them. The flower and plant pots that were plain when they were bought are now full of life and very attractive.
After lying on the rattan chair with eyes closed for a while, the balcony door was suddenly pushed open and Tang Qi looked back.
"grandmother."
Grandma was holding a lit mosquito coil tray in her hand and was about to bend down to put it under the small round table. Tang Qi stood up, took the mosquito coil and put it in the corner.
"Why are you here in the middle of the night? The mosquitoes in this season are very poisonous. The bites will cause swelling and itching. Are you unable to sleep because of the heat? Don't you have the air conditioner on?"
Grandma kept muttering to herself, pinching her hands with her rough hands and touching her hair.
Tang Qi helped her grandmother sit down on the rattan chair, and moved a stool from the living room to sit beside her.
"Qiqi, if you have anything on your mind, you can talk to grandma. Although grandma is old and can't help much, she has lived for so many years after all. She has walked more roads, crossed more bridges, and met more people than you can imagine."
Tang Qi reached out and held her grandmother's hand, rubbing her palms and backs with her fingertips.
"My biological mother, has she never come back to visit you once?"
Grandma paused for a long while, a bitter look on her old face, "You've been blaming her in your heart, right? Although you never mentioned it or asked about it before, grandma can see that you are holding back your anger.
You look weak and docile, but in your heart you are actually more stubborn than anyone else. You are obviously thinking about her all the time, but you pretend to have forgotten her long ago."
These were the original owner's emotions, and Tang Qi didn't feel anything after hearing them.
She asked this because she accidentally saw her grandmother looking at a photo of the original owner's mother when she was young. The photo was severely degraded, and the facial features were blurred, and it was impossible to tell what she looked like.
But grandma just stared at it in a trance for a long time.
"What about you? Don't you miss her? She has never come back once in all these years. Don't you feel resentful?" she asked.
“I have complained, hated, and been angry, but in the end, all that is left is regret and longing.
Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)
I regret not paying attention to her back then. She had a boyfriend outside and got pregnant with you, and we didn't know about it.
We didn't realize it until her belly grew bigger and the man suddenly disappeared.
Your mother had a child before marriage, and the whole village was laughing at our Tang family.
Your father almost searched the entire DC area but couldn't find the man. After the whole family discussed it, they forced your mother to go to the hospital for an induced abortion.
The six-month-old fetus needed induced abortion, but no hospital dared to accept it, so your mother gave birth to you anyway.
