Chapter 96: Cause and Effect (2/2)



Then she suddenly thought of her nominal mother-in-law, Grandma Liu. Liu Xiaoru thought that no matter what, she had to tell Grandma Liu that her husband and son were gone, so she came to Yunjiang Hotel.

After listening to Liu Xiaoru's narration, the Xia family remained silent for a long time. They didn't expect that the person who had been making a scene at the door of the room before would lose his life in just a few days.

After a while, Grandma Liu asked Liu Xiaoru: "So what are your plans now?"

Liu Xiaoru murmured after hearing this: "I, I don't know... I don't know where I am, and I don't know what to do in the future."

Liu Xiaoru had spent half her life revolving around the Sheng family's three members, father and son. Now that all three were gone, she suddenly didn't know how to live her life.

Seeing her dejected expression, Grandma Liu sighed and said, "I don't want anything from the Sheng family. Everything is yours. Whether you remarry or live on your own in the future, it's up to you. The world is difficult now. If your family is reliable, you can go back to your parents' home."

Liu Xiaoru opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Xia Shige took a look at her clothes, took out his bathrobe, and said to her, "There is a bathroom in the room. Take a shower and change clothes first."

Liu Xiaoru really wanted to take a shower. There was no water supply in their neighborhood. Sometimes water was only supplied once every 48 hours. She kept nodding to Xia Shige to express her gratitude while holding her bathrobe.

Xia Shige led Liu Xiaoru into the bathroom and closed the door for her.

Xia Shige returned to the living room and saw that his family were comforting Grandma Liu.

"Everyone has their own destiny. Don't think too much about it." Grandma patted Grandma Liu's hand and said.

Grandma Liu smiled and replied, "I'm fine. After hearing that, I just felt that my life's troubles were over, and I felt relieved all of a sudden. It's just that..."

Grandma Liu glanced in the direction of the bathroom, sighed and continued, "But, she is also a pitiful person."

Xia Shige nodded silently upon hearing this. That day, she took a look at Old Man Sheng lying on the bed. Although he was paralyzed, he was not as emaciated as other bedridden people. It was obvious that he was well taken care of.

The three generations of the Sheng family were more prosperous than each other, and Sheng Tianci ate as much as a sturdy calf. But Liu Xiaoru was so thin that she was just a skeleton. It was obvious that the Sheng family's three generations of grandparents and grandchildren had often sucked her blood.

Sun Yuegui also sighed: "In this world, it's not easy for a woman like her to survive."

Liu Xiaoru washed alone in the bathroom for a long time and thought for a long time.

She stood under the tree and thought about the first half of her life. Suddenly, she felt like she had just had a nightmare. Now that she was awake, she could no longer find the girl who had hoped to start a family of her own.

When she came out, she felt her body and mind were extremely dry and calm.

There was some food on the dining table in the living room. When Xia Shige saw Liu Xiaoru coming out, he handed her a bowl of porridge and two buns. Liu Xiaoru hadn't eaten decent food for a long time, so she took it and started to eat it ravenously.

Seeing that she was full, Grandma Liu asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

"I've made up my mind." Liu Xiaoru wiped her mouth and answered softly, "I still have some savings. I plan to sell this house at a low price and take the money back to my father's home. My father's home is in Yutian Village."

Liu Xiaoru smiled bitterly and continued, "They always advised me not to get married before, but I was stubborn and I feel sorry for them. Now I just want them to forgive me and live a good life with them. When this natural disaster is over, I will go out and find a job as a nanny or a caregiver to support myself."

Yutian Village? Xia Shige's eyelids twitched. She remembered that this place was a severely affected area by floods in her previous life.

Xia Shige thought about it and tried to persuade her, "The supplies in the city are better than in the countryside, and houses don't sell for much money now. You might as well not buy a house and bring your parents to live in the city. You still have some savings, so you don't have to worry about water and electricity for the time being. The country also distributes sand vine cakes according to the population every day. Although it's hard, you won't starve to death."

Liu Xiaoru listened carefully, then she nodded to Xia Shige in thanks.

Soon the clothes in the dryer were dry. Liu Xiaoru changed into her own clothes and washed the bathrobe. Then she said goodbye to the Xia family and Grandma Liu: "Thank you. I'll leave first."

Seeing that the weather outside was hot, Xia Shige sent Liu Xiaoru downstairs and gave the front desk a tip, asking them to arrange a car to take Liu Xiaoru home.

Liu Xiaoru couldn't refuse, so she could only keep thanking Xia Shige.

After seeing Liu Xiaoru off, Xia Shige was about to go upstairs to his room when he saw a group of people walking into the hotel lobby.

In the middle of the crowd was a middle-aged man with a beer belly, probably about ten years old. He seemed to be smiling and talking to the person next to him, but for some reason he looked a bit fierce.

Xia Shige's whole body froze. She knew this person even to the point of ashes!

In her previous life, she had dragged this person to hell with her...
