Chapter 392: Belated Family Love is Cheaper than Grass
After much hesitation, Xiao Yingchun finally let her grandfather in.
But she was careful and asked her aunt to come out to receive them.
My aunt-in-law is more tolerant towards her own people, but she is also very capable when dealing with outsiders.
The first time my grandfather came to Xiao Yingchun’s villa, he felt something different as soon as he entered the door.
Although the decoration seems simple, the sofa, coffee table and curtains have an expensive feel.
While he was warmly welcomed by his aunt, he was also directly assigned the route.
My grandfather was led straight to the sofa and sat down, and then my aunt-in-law neatly brought him a cup of tea and a plate of fruit.
"Father-in-law, please have some fruit and drink some tea..."
"You're welcome."
Grandpa was forced to sit down "politely", but his eyes were looking upstairs.
There was a child screaming "Ahhh" upstairs, and the sound of people walking around, obviously there were more than one or two people.
He wanted to go upstairs to see the child.
"Yingchun is changing her clothes and will be down soon..."
"She is so capable. She gave birth to twins naturally..."
"It's really not easy for this child. His parents are gone, and there's no elders around when he enters the delivery room..."
My aunt's tears came suddenly, as if she was the one who was wronged.
Grandpa's face looked very dry.
He wanted to say that it was Xiao Yingchun who pushed his family away, but he knew he shouldn't say that.
After all, it was my family that let them down in the first place.
Fortunately, Xiao Yingchun appeared at the stairs at this time.
Also beside him was the tall and strong Fu Chenan.
Xiao Yingchun went downstairs slowly as she was afraid of pulling the episiotomy wound.
Fu Chenan held her arm with one hand and protected her waist with the other, and said, "Slow down..."
Grandpa stood up immediately and looked at Xiao Yingchun nervously: "Yingchun...are you...ok?"
When she finally came downstairs and sat opposite her grandfather, she replied, "I'm fine."
"Thank you, Grandpa, for coming to see me."
The eldest aunt took the opportunity to say: "Yingchun, your grandfather came to see you and brought you two cartons of milk..."
Xiao Yingchun looked towards the gate and nodded slightly, politely yet distantly.
"Thank you, Grandpa."
Grandpa felt uncomfortable all over. He asked dryly, "I heard that you gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl..."
As he spoke, he looked upstairs again: "Can I take a look?"
Xiao Yingchun refused calmly: "The two children are still young. They finally fell asleep. It's not convenient to hold them down."
Grandfather: ...
Where did you sleep?
I just heard a child crying.
She doesn't want me to see it...
Grandpa lowered his head, picking at his fingertips, with a look of regret on his face.
"Yingchun, we are sorry for you and your parents, but I am old now..."
It means "let the past go with the wind".
Xiao Yingchun curled the corners of his mouth: "Grandpa, I don't blame you."
Grandpa looked up in surprise: "You forgive us?"
Xiao Yingchun waved her hands: "My mother wanted your love and fairness back then, but it was just too much for her."
"Although the palms and backs of the hands are made of flesh, the ten fingers are of different lengths. My mother doesn't understand, but I do."
Grandpa's smile froze again: "You still blame us..."
Xiao Yingchun waved her hand again: "No, I don't blame you."
"I just--I don't get close to you."
"You never gave me love, so I couldn't get close to you."
“That’s fair.”
"You can't just ask me to get close to you without giving me any love."
"Now that you are old and need support, I will take on all the obligations that should be undertaken, but there is no need to forcibly regain the lost family affection."
"There's no need to force something that has never existed before."
"It's only been two days since I gave birth. My body can't take it anymore. I'm going to sleep first."
"Aunt, please help me send my grandpa off later."
"There's some fruit in the garage. Can you help me get some for Grandpa to take away?"
We know the etiquette of returning a gift.
Grandpa didn't lose out by exchanging two cartons of milk for a piece of ugly fruit.
"Okay!" The aunt-in-law responded decisively.
Grandpa couldn't sit still any longer, so he stood up and said goodbye and left.
After a long time, the aunt came up to Xiao Yingchun to report, with a red envelope in her hand.
"He wanted to give me a red envelope, saying it was for you, but I didn't dare to accept it."
"Who knows how he did it? He put it on the shoe cabinet at the door while I was changing my shoes..."
"I just realized that when I chased him, he had already gone far away."
Xiao Yingchun took the thick red envelope, opened it and saw that there was 5,000 yuan inside...
hehe!
That’s a lot of money!
I can now enjoy the treatment that I never dared to imagine before.
Xiao Yingchun was not surprised, she threw the red envelope aside.
"When I pay alimony later, I will give him every penny less."
She doesn't want the money.
Seeing that she was in a bad mood, the aunt told Xiao Yingchun the gossip she had heard.
"Your grandpa was afraid that you wouldn't like to hear it, so he didn't dare to tell you directly. He just dragged me aside and talked for a long time..."
"No wonder he always wants to stick with you. Something happened in his family recently. You may not know..."
"Your aunt sold the resettlement house he gave her before, but the money was not enough to pay off the loan."
"Your aunt thought that she couldn't pay it back anyway, so she left 150,000 yuan for the family's emergency use."
"Who would have thought that a few days ago, Xie Yulin secretly took out the money and spent it all!"
"No one knows how it was all spent, and Xie Yulin won't say."
"Things got out of hand, and your aunt started to take the money that Lu Qianhua paid, saying that she had no money left, and she would not pay for your grandparents' support or medical expenses in the future."
"She also wants your grandfather to give her some more..."
"The matter has come to his attention again..."
My grandfather would definitely hold on to the last bit of money in the family tightly.
Ge Chuncheng and his wife were even more vigilant, fearing that their grandparents would not be able to bear it and the money would be taken away by Ge Chunyu.
I don’t feel any filial piety from my grandparents now. I only feel calculation and a chilling chill.
He couldn't understand how they could not be grateful when he had been so biased towards them in the past.
He loves them so much, but they are all ungrateful?
All they have in their eyes is the money...
The old couple considered everyone in the family and finally found that Xiao Yingchun was the most reliable one.
Xiao Chunfang and his wife never cared about it and were filial to their children.
If I treat them a little better, they will be grateful and repay them in various ways...
Now my grandparents really regret having loved the wrong person for so many years.
But when they wanted to save the relationship and make amends, they found that Xiao Yingchun would not accept it no matter what.
Grandpa chattered these words to my aunt, hoping that she could relay them to Xiao Yingchun.
He hoped to express his apology to Xiao Yingchun in this tactful way.
But he never thought that when Xiao Yingchun no longer longed for family affection from him, this kind of family affection with a purpose seemed particularly cheap and ridiculous.
So after listening to what her aunt said, Xiao Yingchun felt happy but not moved.
"We just need to listen to what's going on over there. I won't get involved."
If Xiao Yingchun showed the slightest bit of softness and acceptance, her grandparents would definitely take advantage of the situation and completely rely on Xiao Yingchun.
For Xiao Yingchun today, money is the least important thing.
But this purposefulness made her feel sick.
Why?
She didn't want to have any emotional connection with them anymore.
Therefore, Xiao Yingchun chose to be polite and distant.
The aunt looked at Xiao Yingchun's expression and comforted her kindly.
"If you don't like it, just stay away from it!"
"I really can't refuse. I still have my aunt to deal with!"
"Next time there are relatives like this, if you don't want to deal with them, just let me come forward."
My aunt is also capable of being a bad person.
