Because Liu Ruonan was pregnant and had just returned from a busy day outside, Liu Kaixu and Song Xinlan were reluctant to let Liu Ruonan continue to follow the car to take them back, so they asked Liu Ruonan to wait at home.
Liu Ruonan sat on the chair, thinking back to what Song Xinlan said when she held her hand before leaving. Song Xinlan said:
"Nannan, you are the only relative my grandfather and I have in this world. Your father is the biggest regret in our lives. Fortunately, we found that there is still you in this world.
You made up for the loss of our son and gave us the family love we had longed for for decades! Grandma is not good at expressing herself, but you don’t know how excited and thrilled I was when I knew that my son might have descendants in this world.
Now, you are our only one, our only hope. You are our granddaughter, this is undeniable, I just hope that you can accept us from the bottom of your heart.
Grandpa and I only hope to have you as our granddaughter to spend the rest of our lives with us."
When Song Xinlan said these words, her tone was gentle and her attitude was sincere. Yes, she was not a person who was good at expressing herself, so even though Liu Ruonan had known her for such a long time, she did not feel any affection from her grandmother.
But when she said this, Liu Ruonan suddenly felt that some people's feelings, although not expressed with their mouths, are deeply buried in their hearts.
Liu Ruonan felt relieved at that moment. She had originally thought that her grandmother must have felt regretful because her son was no longer in this world. Perhaps that regret had transformed into resentment towards Liu Ruonan.
It might be an exaggeration to say that she was resentful, but that was what Liu Ruonan was thinking at the time, so Song Xinlan was more distant from her.
But when she heard Song Xinlan say these words herself, she knew that she was too narrow-minded.
Her feelings for Liu Kaixu began in her previous life, but in this life, this was her first encounter with Song Xinlan. Perhaps, there was still much she didn't understand about her. However, family ties were always family ties, a bloodline that couldn't be severed. Since she had the opportunity to receive this kinship in this life, she would definitely cherish it doubly.
Picking up the money, Liu Ruonan felt heavy in her heart.
From childhood to adulthood, she had never received love from anyone. Xiangdong's beatings and scolding, Xiang Tingting's bullying, made her feel left out in the world. No one knew how much family affection meant to Liu Ruonan.
She also wanted to snuggle in her parents' arms like other children, and beg for a few cents to buy her favorite candies; she also wanted to feel the warmth of her parents when she got home from school like other children.
However, these are too luxurious for her.
However, when she grew up and was about to become a mother, a grandfather suddenly appeared. She didn't even have to beg for money, her grandparents would give her the money.
Liu Ruonan felt hot inside and tears welled up in her eyes.
She opened the passbook with trembling hands and was shocked by the amount of money inside.
There are more than 50,000 yuan in the passbook.
In this era, this is really a considerable amount of money. It is a very remarkable thing for a rural area to have a household with an annual income of 10,000 yuan.
Yes! Liu Kaixu has been practicing medicine for so many years, so it's only natural that he has some savings. Moreover, I heard that Song Xinlan's ancestors were all from very wealthy families.
During the late Qing Dynasty, her grandfather was an official in the imperial court. Presumably, many good things were passed down from generation to generation. Her father was a private school teacher, and many wealthy families hired him as a tutor. Her mother also seemed to be quite prominent, but Liu Ruonan never heard her grandparents mention what she did for a living.
I guess this is all the belongings this old couple has, right?
Liu Ruonan held the passbook, feeling as if she were holding a heavy, hot heart. This was a token of their love and care for Liu Ruonan.
When Zhuang Sheng came back, he saw Liu Ruonan sitting on the sofa in a daze.
Zhuang Sheng sat down next to the sofa, looked at Liu Ruonan and asked with concern: "What's wrong?"
Liu Ruonan came to her senses and handed the passbook to Zhuang Sheng. Zhuang Sheng took a look and was also surprised. Yes, he naturally did not expect that the old couple had so much savings, and he was naturally surprised.
"Isn't this a bit too much? Why don't I send it back to my grandparents?" Zhuang Sheng said that such a large amount of money really put a lot of pressure on them.
Liu Ruonan shook her head and said, "Have you forgotten what grandma said when she left? If you send them back, it would be like pushing them away, which means you are not acknowledging this family relationship."
Liu Ruonan was silent for a long while, then slowly raised her head, looked at Zhuang Sheng and said, "Now is the time to use the money, so use it for now! When you start making money, you can fill this passbook again."
Liu Ruonan thought to herself, it doesn't matter who you borrow money from, so it's better to give the interest from the bank to your family. They say good things should be kept within the family, and there's some truth to that.
Zhuang Sheng thought about it and nodded in agreement.
After a busy day, Liu Ruonan was tired. Zhuang Sheng boiled some hot water, wiped Liu Ruonan's body, and then went to bed.
Because the bathroom is also shared, and the weather is still a bit cold, there is no heating in the bathroom, and the warmth is entirely dependent on the heat from the hot water. Zhuang was afraid that Liu Ruonan would catch a cold, so he took her to the bathhouse to take a bath every few days. In this situation today, she could only wipe herself.
But Zhuang Sheng was not afraid of the cold. After taking a shower, when he returned to the room, Liu Ruonan was already asleep.
Even when she was asleep, her brows were tightly furrowed. This passbook must have made Liu Ruonan feel heavy-hearted.
Zhuang Sheng thought that in this life, as long as Liu Ruonan wanted to do something, he would accompany her to fulfill her wish, even if it meant selling everything he had. Although the investment was large, many of his brothers in the army had tried to comfort him, fearing that he would lose everything. After all, the location was not very promising.
However, Zhuang Sheng did not think so. First, he believed in Liu Ruonan. Although Liu Ruonan seemed to be hiding many secrets from him, he believed that as long as these secrets did not hinder their relationship, he would not care.
Second, being able to do something with the person he loves, and seeing her satisfied smile, he feels excited and happy in his heart.
This is what Zhuang Sheng enjoys.
Liu Ruonan's belly was now protruding. She said that she was uncomfortable lying flat on her back, so she always slept on her side. Although Liu Ruonan was small, she took up most of the bed. Zhuang Sheng huddled on the edge of the bed, being careful not to wake her up.
Looking at Liu Ruonan sleeping soundly, Zhuang Sheng couldn't help but smile.
