When Su Ning saw it, she felt the gift in her hand was exceptionally heavy.
"Dad, let's keep the things Mom left behind as a keepsake for you!"
The old man must have relied on the things his deceased wife left behind to ease his grief whenever he missed her.
Dean Xu waved his hand. "Her last wish was to leave it to her future daughter-in-law, hoping that her son's family would be happy and fulfilling."
The best outcome is to leave the things to you.
Su Ning was a little conflicted, but Bai Yunshu smiled and stuffed the small box into her arms.
"It is not appropriate to refuse a gift from an elder; please accept it."
This is nothing; the old man just gave him all his savings from all these years.
Don't let him get angry with you...
Su Ning looked carefully at the father and son before finally accepting the gift.
"Haha, alright, alright, daughters-in-law, you all go and rest. I'll take care of Old Man Xu."
Grandpa Bai watched from the sidelines, pleased that they were able to put aside their grudges and mend their relationship.
He pulled Dean Xu back to the room.
"Old Xu, it's been so many years since we played chess together. I'm not holding back tonight!"
"Hey! Old man Bai, how many times have you beaten me? You're still holding back? You can talk after you can beat me!"
As the two elderly people walked further and further away, Su Ning watched them with a smile, feeling somewhat sentimental.
"That's wonderful, your family are all such good people..."
She thought about the awful people and things her family had done, and her mood became somewhat depressed.
Bai Yunshu hugged his wife tenderly and comforted her, saying, "My family is your family too."
You don't need to waste your energy on those unworthy people and things; you've already severed ties with them anyway.
Su Ning smiled faintly, "Yes, you're right. I wasn't thinking about them either. It was just a momentary feeling of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing both feelings, emotions, and reflection) after seeing how we interact here and comparing it to their interactions over there. Let's go back."
She had never experienced the warmth of a family since she was a child, which is why the genuine affection she received in Bai Yunshu's home was all the more precious.
The couple went back to their room to rest.
...
Meanwhile, in the hospital...
The woman, who had just woken up, stared blankly at the pristine white ceiling.
I belatedly remembered what happened during the day.
Tears welled up in my eyes involuntarily, and I felt utterly hopeless.
How can she explain this to her son and daughter-in-law now that her grandson is gone?
She really didn't mean to not take her to the hospital. In the past, when children in the village had a fever, they would get better after drinking talisman water.
She spent a fortune and went to great lengths to obtain the precious talisman water, so why is it useless?
Her beloved grandson is gone, what should she do?
She raised her hand to cover her eyes.
Just as she was sobbing, there was a noise at the door.
A dark figure flashed in.
A deep, husky voice sounded in her ear.
"Are you willing to let your grandson die like this, Granny Su!"
"If you go back and your son and daughter-in-law find out that you killed their precious son, do you think you'll have a good life?"
Grandma Su was struck on the head, and she was already uneasy. Now she was even more panicked and fell off the bed.
"You? Who are you?"
"Hehehe, who I am is not important. What's important is that if you just let this go, your son and daughter-in-law will eat you alive when you get back!"
"Why don't you stick to that Dr. Bai and pin everything on her? That way you can shift the blame and extort some money to give your son and daughter-in-law an explanation!"
Grandma Su's cloudy eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yes, yes, with money, my sons won't blame me! They're still young, they can have another one!"
Yes, yes, that's it, that's it!
She recalled the slaps and scolding she received from that hateful woman during the day, and her eyes were filled with resentment.
"Don't blame me, blame your own bad luck! Humph!"
The dark figure chuckled softly upon seeing this, then turned and left the ward.
