I don’t know if it was because I slept late last night or what, but I felt a little dizzy when riding in the car today. Zheng Wangshu leaned back in the chair and fell asleep. When he woke up, he was almost at his destination.
After getting off the car, I went to a nearby store to buy some gifts, and then stood in front of my grandfather's house with hesitation.
The Tang family is a wealthy family. They live in an independent courtyard with a two-story house. Their conditions are not much worse than those of the Zhou family.
When my mother married Zheng Jianjun, it was a marriage of downgrade. My grandparents did not agree at first, but later, when they saw that Zheng Jianjun was a good character and their daughter was devoted to him, they finally agreed.
Since Tang Yanlin's death, they have hardly had any contact with Zheng Jianjun, and they have more or less resentment in their hearts. Even towards Zheng Wangshu, they feel a bit disgusted.
After her biological mother passed away, she was very close to her stepmother, and at the instigation of Gu Meiqin, she drifted further and further away from them, which broke the hearts of the two old people.
After hesitating for a long time, Zheng Wangshu reached out and knocked on the door. A middle-aged woman with an honest look and a sturdy build came to open the door.
When he opened the door and saw Zheng Wangshu, he was speechless for a long time.
Zheng Wangshu searched through the original owner's memories. This person should be the nanny hired by his grandfather. She was quite sensitive in the past. Even if he had money, he couldn't treat her like this. People would report her to the higher-ups. She would be greedy for enjoyment and not make progress. She would be dragged out for criticism.
Things are different now. With the reform and opening up, everything has been liberalized, and it is not uncommon for well-off families to hire a nanny.
"Excuse me, who are you looking for?"
The nanny asked in a formal manner.
"I'm looking for my grandparents. I have something to tell them."
The nanny nodded, but did not let her in directly. Instead, she said she would go and inform Zheng Wangshu and asked him to wait here.
Zheng Wangshu nodded and waited obediently at the door.
It’s good to think about it. I have to inform my granddaughter when she comes over, how hateful the original owner was and how many stupid things he did.
After waiting for about a minute, the nanny came out and said, "Go away. The old couple don't want to see you."
Zheng Wangshu was speechless. He had not expected this outcome. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue, "I really have something to ask them. It's related to my mother. Please go and tell them again."
Wang Ma had met Zheng Wangshu before, but she didn't like the girl at all. Every time she came, she only made the old couple angry. She looked silent, but in fact, she was very irritating. She was the kind of helpless person who couldn't tell the difference between good and bad.
But she was just an employee after all, so there was no need to say anything too harsh, so she went back and talked to her parents again.
Mr. Tang was stunned for a moment and looked at his wife beside him.
"Should we let her in?"
The old lady nodded, "Yes."
Only with the consent of the two elders did Wang Ma let Zheng Wangshu in.
Zhang Wangshu entered the living room and found that his grandparents were sitting on the sofa. They were both well-dressed. Although they were old, they still looked very elegant.
This is the style of a wealthy family. Zheng Wangshu has never seen Tang Yanlin, but he can see her shadow in these two elders. She must be an extremely elegant woman.
After putting the gifts on the ground, Zheng Wangshu spoke humbly, "Grandpa and grandma, I'm really sorry for not visiting you for so long. I was young and ignorant before, and I made many mistakes. I apologize to you today, and I won't do it again in the future."
Zheng Wangshu felt that he should express his attitude first. If he did something wrong, he should have the courage to admit it. There was nothing shameful about it.
The old couple were also surprised to see Zheng Wangshu's attitude. Old Man Tang opened his mouth but no words came out.
They hadn't seen their granddaughter for a while, and she looked more and more like their daughter, especially her eyes, which were exactly the same.
When they saw Zheng Wangshu, they couldn't help but think of their daughter who died young, and felt sad.
"It's all in the past, let's not talk about it. You just said you came to us to discuss something about your mother. What was it?"
Zheng Wangshu couldn't express his guess directly. What if the child had nothing to do with them and just looked alike? If he told them now, wouldn't he be giving the two old people hope and then making them despair?
So he thought about it and made up a lie.
"It's nothing serious. I just keep dreaming about my mother since I got pregnant. I really miss her lately and want to visit the house where she used to stay."
The old couple then learned that Zheng Wangshu was pregnant. They had naturally heard about her second marriage, but they had lost contact with her and did not go.
Now that I hear Zheng Wangshu say this, it would be a lie to say that I don’t feel anything at all. After all, she is my granddaughter and my daughter’s only flesh and blood.
"Now that you're pregnant, live a good life and take care of yourself. Let's go. We often clean up the room your mother lives in. It's very clean."
The old couple got up and took Zheng Wangshu to the bedroom.
The two were tactful and did not go in. Zheng Wangshu went in and closed the door. Looking at the warm and tidy bedroom, he didn't know why he felt like crying.
She remembered that Tang Yanlin had the habit of writing a diary, and she didn't know if she could find it here.
After feeling sad for a while, he opened the drawer of the desk and after searching for a while, he finally saw the dark red diary. This kind of diary can be locked, and the lock on it is rusted.
Zheng Wangshu took some time to finally open it.
The first part records some interesting things, including one about Zheng Jianjun. It can be seen that she really loves her husband. Later on, she did not write every day, but only occasionally wrote one article every once in a while, which seemed more like a way to vent.
At the back, Zheng Wangshu actually saw Gu Meiqi's name, and her hand holding the diary trembled slightly.
Gu Meiqin only got together with her father after her mother passed away. She thought her mother didn't know her, but she didn't expect it to be the case.
Although it was not explicitly stated in the diary, Zheng Wangshu could tell that his mother did not like Gu Meicen, and she also wrote some scattered records about her second pregnancy.
It said that her belly was very big, and it seemed that having a second child would be very difficult, and she was a little scared.
Zheng Wangshu felt something was wrong and started to develop conspiracy theories.
I read it carefully again, making sure there was no new information, and then left the bedroom.
After going out, I asked the two old people about my mother's situation at that time.
"Grandpa and grandma, I want to ask, what was the reason for my mom's difficult labor?"
The old couple didn't expect her to ask this, and their expressions became even more sorrowful, but they still sighed and said, "Your mother had a difficult birth when she gave birth to your brother. Her belly was too big, and your brother weighed more than eight kilograms. How could your mother's body bear it?"
Zheng Wangshu swallowed, his heart pounding.
"Then why was my belly so big when I had my second child? Was it because of overnutrition? Did I eat too much during pregnancy?"
