Chapter 363 I am not your grandmother!
She said many things, and Huo Tingzhou remembered most of them.
At this moment, however, he did not know which specific instance his wife was referring to.
Seeing the slightly questioning look in his eyes, Jiang Si gently reminded him, "Life is sometimes bitter at first, sometimes sweet..."
She deliberately paused at this point.
Huo Tingzhou gazed at her, his eyes deep.
The next second, he said in a deep voice: "Life has its ups and downs, some bitter before sweet, and some sweet before bitter. You said that I have already endured all the bitterness in this life, and that my future days will definitely be smooth and peaceful until I grow old."
That's right, that's the sentence.
These were the words Jiang Si said on the phone after she learned the truth about his abduction.
Unexpectedly, more than two years have passed.
Huo Tingzhou was able to repeat it word for word.
But today, Jiang Si would like to add one more thing.
She held his hand tightly and said, word by word, "No matter what the future holds, you will no longer be alone. The children and I will always be with you."
As he finished speaking, Huo Tingzhou's Adam's apple bobbed slightly.
Seemingly unable to control his emotions, he turned his head slightly, and his eyes suddenly stung intensely.
Jiang Si didn't say anything more, and tacitly turned her gaze to Huo's mother and grandmother.
At this moment, the conversation between the mother and daughter continued.
In the end, Mrs. Huo was unable to persuade the old lady and had no choice but to take the money back.
"Oh, right, Mom." As if remembering something, Huo's mother reminded her, "This wine isn't ordinary wine; it's made with century-old ginseng. You'd better keep it safe when you get back, or my dad will drink it all in two meals."
Upon hearing that the wine was made with century-old ginseng, the old lady could no longer remain calm.
Such fine wine shouldn't be wasted.
He quickly snatched the canvas bag from the old man's hand and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll watch over it."
Grandpa Huo watched from the side, staring wide-eyed, and originally wanted to protest a few words.
But when I looked, my sons and eldest daughter had already walked more than a hundred meters away and had left the family compound.
So he quickly called to the old lady, "Hurry, hurry, the eldest son and the others have gone far away."
At this moment, outside the family compound.
The siblings were standing there talking.
Huo's mother lives in Beijing, which isn't too far away, so he can see her whenever he wants throughout the year.
Unlike her younger sister, who married far away and rarely comes back to visit, she is different.
Thinking about all this, the older brothers started giving them more instructions.
Just then, several children appeared out of nowhere. Their clothes were dirty and their hair was a mess.
The worst part was that as soon as the children arrived, they knelt down in front of Yue Sheng.
"Grandma, Grandma, I miss you so much!"
"Grandma, I promise I'll behave well from now on and never be naughty again!"
"Grandma, please don't abandon us, please!"
The group of people cried as they clung to Yue Sheng's legs.
Yue Sheng was so startled by this sudden scene that his eyes widened in shock.
"No, this...whose child is this? Why are you calling people like this! I'm not your grandmother."
"Grandma, it's me, Jingxuan! Don't you remember me?" The tallest boy looked up at Yue Sheng with teary eyes.
The moment the name 'Jingxuan' was uttered, everyone present changed their expressions.
Although Yue Sheng hadn't seen these children much, the name was very familiar to him.
She not only remembered the names, but also the family's actions.
It is said that children should not be punished for their misfortunes, because children are innocent.
But Yue Sheng would at most treat the other party as a stranger; as for being particularly kind to them, that was impossible.
"I am not your grandmother!"
Yue Sheng spoke the truth, but the children didn't see it that way.
"Grandma! You are our grandma!"
"Waaaaah, Grandma, please don't be angry with us anymore!"
As soon as she finished speaking, another child cried and asked her, "Grandma, I'm Linlin, don't you want Linlin anymore?"
"Grandma, we promise we'll always be good and listen to you. When we grow up, we'll take good care of you together with our brothers. Please don't send us away..."
As the children cried, several familiar figures suddenly appeared in their line of sight.
It had been six or seven years since Yue Sheng last came back to visit his family, and among his brothers, only the eldest, Yang Jingxuan, had a vague memory of him.
But the two people in front of me look exactly alike.
Their hairstyles are similar too.
For a moment, he couldn't tell which one was the grandmother he remembered.
The other two children were also bewildered.
How can there be two grandmothers?
But things had already come to this point, and they couldn't care less about anything else.
Thinking back to what this person just said, she wasn't their grandmother.
So the second and third sons immediately changed direction and pounced on Huo's mother again.
Before the two could even call out "Grandma," Huo's mother abruptly stopped the farce.
"Stop! I am not your grandmother, and you are not children of the Huo family."
After saying that, she turned to Huo Tingzhou and said, "Go and call the Su family and tell them to come and pick up the person as soon as possible."
"Grandma, you are our grandma."
The eldest son, Yang Jingxuan, is already eleven years old, and his mind is clearly much more mature than his two younger brothers.
Upon hearing what Huo's mother said, she immediately burst into tears and cried, "Mom doesn't want us anymore, Grandma doesn't want us either, they all say we're a burden."
"Grandma, we want to go home with you..."
Wow, those tears, that acting!
If he were alive today, he could easily outshine a whole bunch of young heartthrobs.
If Jiang Si hadn't witnessed their actions firsthand in the square that day, she would have been deeply moved.
Now, she only felt a chill running through her body.
Although Huo's mother was unaware of what happened in the square.
But she knew in her heart that since the Su family had been supporting them for two years, they couldn't possibly kick them out at this time without any reason.
Of course, what exactly happened in between is someone else's business and has nothing to do with her.
Huo's mother didn't intend to ask.
But the children didn't care at all and started crying and complaining about their grievances in front of everyone.
Before they came, their mothers had given them countless instructions.
If they fail to stay with the Huo family this time, they will have to be sent to their father's hometown, which is their biological grandmother's place.
These children were born with silver spoons in their mouths, and during their years in the Huo family, they could have anything they wanted.
Even after they left the Huo family, the Su family never neglected their food and drink.
Now, Mom wants to send them to the countryside, to some godforsaken place. Isn't that obviously sending them to live a hard life?
Moreover, they knew in their hearts that their mother's words about bringing them back when conditions were better were just to appease them.
She's already getting married, so she'll definitely have other children in the future.
How could we possibly bring them back!
Isn't that how my grandmother was?
Since the arrival of the baby, the maternal grandmother's focus has shifted entirely to the baby, and she no longer gives them as much care and attention as before.
That's why they hate Xiaobao so much!
So the three brothers immediately said, "Our aunt complains that we eat too much, she always scolds us for being freeloaders, she even hits us, tells us to get out, and won't let us stay at Grandma's house."
"Mom is going to marry another uncle, and they don't want us anymore!"
"Grandma, we promise to work harder and eat less from now on, so we won't cause you any trouble. We'll also take good care of our younger siblings!"
As they spoke, the children tugged at Mrs. Huo's hand, "Grandma, sob sob, please let us go back, I miss you and Grandpa, and great-grandpa and great-grandma so much..."
As the three brothers were weeping their hearts out, Jiang Si said coldly, "Who taught you to say such things?"
If you were to ask who the three Huo brothers disliked the most, it would undoubtedly be Jiang Si.
If it weren't for her, Dad wouldn't have gone to jail! If Dad hadn't gone to jail, Mom wouldn't have remarried, and the three brothers wouldn't be living as dependents!
All of this was caused by this wicked woman!
Jiang Si didn't miss the fleeting hatred in their eyes. "It seems you haven't learned your lesson after being taken to the police station a few days ago."
"Take him to the police station?" Upon hearing this, Huo's mother and the others all looked over.
Jiang Si nodded and said succinctly, "A couple of days ago, they deliberately fed the Su family's grandson candied hawthorns, and the child almost suffocated."
"According to the youngest daughter-in-law of the Su family, they have done this more than once."
"She was furious, so she called the police directly..."
Everyone present gasped in shock upon hearing this.
They simply couldn't imagine it if they hadn't heard it with their own ears.
These children could be so vicious.
Fearing that she would get angry, Huo's mother immediately comforted her, saying, "Sisi, go back and eat first. Leave this matter to me."
Jiang Si knew that her mother-in-law would not soften her heart and would not bring the children back.
But they couldn't explain this to the children themselves.
Fortunately, Huo Tingzhou has already called the Su family to inform them.
"What happened?" Just then, Chris and Chi Heng walked over from the courtyard.
She waited in the auditorium for a long time but Jiang Si didn't come back, so she pulled Chi Heng out for some fresh air.
Just as Jiang Si was about to speak, Chris's gaze fell on the children.
"Aren't these the same kids we met this morning?"
After saying that, she subconsciously glanced around, "Where's his mother?"
"Weren't you protecting them like they were your own eyes just now? How can you let them come on their own now?"
As soon as Chris said that, Jiang Si understood.
It turns out that the ones who staged the accident this morning were actually these guys!
That means Su Shanshan was also nearby.
She said, "Why did these kids have to come at this particular time of year? It turns out someone instructed them to do it."
They really made a clever plan.
Jiang Si understood, but Huo's mother and the others were still somewhat confused.
Mrs. Huo asked in confusion, "You just said that you ran into those people this morning?"
Upon hearing this, Chris recounted what had happened that morning, and then said at the end.
"They clearly fell because they were running too fast, but that woman insists that we hit them and that the child's leg was broken, demanding that we pay compensation!"
She and Chi Heng were in a hurry, and the children kept clutching their legs and crying in pain.
They had no choice but to give the other party fifty yuan.
Now that Chris sees these children standing here safely, there's nothing she doesn't understand.
How awful!
She instinctively thought the children were trying to extort money from her again, so she quickly leaned close to Jiang Si's ear and whispered something.
"You absolutely must not give them money. These kids are here, and that woman is definitely nearby too."
Even if Chris hadn't said it, Jiang Si could have guessed what she meant, so she deliberately raised her voice in front of the children.
"Didn't you just say you were going to call the police? These kids are all here, we'll find out when the police come and ask them."
Upon hearing Jiang Si say that she was going to report it to the police.
The children's faces instantly turned pale.
A few days ago, they were taken to the police station by the police officers.
There was nothing wrong with the incident, but the police officer reprimanded them for over two hours with a stern face.
The eldest brother could barely keep his composure, but the two younger ones couldn't.
The third brother, in particular, almost subconsciously looked towards an alley near the old house.
