Chapter 1483 Illness
The old lady was clearly unaware that she had the same personality. When she recalled what happened back then, she showed a rare childlike smile.
"We were both young and hot-blooded back then. When we argued, we didn't remember the good things about each other. Plus, we both had our own families to take care of, so we gradually saw each other less and less."
"Later, she became better off, while our family fell into poverty. She kept telling us not to look for her anymore, but I didn't want to talk to her, so I even took a big broom and chased her out. After that, we would just glare at each other whenever we met."
Shu Yu chuckled, “But I heard from my mother that after I was found, Grandma Liu even sent a congratulatory gift.”
The old lady snorted, "Yes, it's only because of that congratulatory gift that I'm willing to say a few words to her again." Soon, her voice lowered again, "But it really was just a few words. After we moved to the county town, I haven't seen her more than a few times. We're both stubborn. Actually, now that life is better and we have no worries, we both want to ease the tension, but neither of us is willing to back down."
The old lady murmured softly, "We're already so old, we don't have many years left to live, yet we still have to hold grudges."
Shu Yuxin's heart tightened. "Grandma, don't talk nonsense. You're still young. Grandma Liu is sick, it has nothing to do with her age."
The old lady is really not old; she's only 54 years old this year. In modern times, she wouldn't even be old enough to receive a pension.
But here, fifty-four years old is considered advanced age.
Shu Yu had no idea that the old lady already had such thoughts in her mind.
"Grandma, you're going to live to be a hundred years old, how come you only have a few years left? You've only lived half your life, it's still a long way off."
The old lady was amused by her, "I'm only halfway there?"
"Of course, so Grandma, if there's anything else you want to do, or any regrets you have, you can make up for it slowly. There's plenty of time, you'll have plenty of time."
The old lady paused for a moment, then said, "I have no regrets. My biggest regret before was not finding you. Now that you're back, your father's leg is healed, your sister has married into a good family and is about to give birth, and your younger brother and sister will all be successful in the future. Everyone else is living a better life and has their own plans. I feel very content."
Shu Yu pursed her lips. Although the old lady's pause was brief, she had still noticed it.
The old lady must have had some regrets, but she was unwilling to say them.
Shu Yu didn't want to pry too deeply at this critical juncture, lest she upset the old man who had finally managed to calm down.
Shu Yu laughed and said, "Then your expectations are too low. You should at least see me get married, see A Rui pass the imperial examination, and see A Ning achieve academic success."
The old lady was amused by her words, but for some reason, she also began to look forward to it.
Yes, there are still many things to finish.
Seeing that her mood had improved, Shu Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief. She stayed with her for a while longer, and after she yawned, she helped her to the bedside to rest.
After seeing that the old lady had fallen asleep, Shu Yu went out and took Ying Xi back to Yu Garden.
I thought the matter was over and done with, and that the old lady might be down for a few days, but she would recover quickly.
Unexpectedly, the next morning, Hua Xian rushed over nervously and said, "The old lady has fallen ill."
