The next day was the 26th day of the lunar year, one day closer to the New Year, and Liang Su was counting the days.
She lay on the soft quilt, revealing a large area of her snow-white skin, and fell asleep with her eyes closed.
Liang Su played around too late last night and didn't go to bed until after midnight.
Shen Congji put on his clothes and covered her with a blanket.
She is a restless sleeper and likes to kick off the quilt more than a child.
Shen Congji looked at her delicate face and whispered, "Sleep a little longer, don't cook at noon, I'll take you to town to eat."
Liang Su responded lazily, muttering, "You're so noisy."
Shen Congji smiled and leaned over to kiss her cheek.
"I'm going out first."
Liang Su slept until noon.
She looked at the marks on her body and thought of last night, her face filled with shame and anger.
Shen Congji didn't know if he was self-taught, but he had so many new tricks to come up with.
Liang Su changed into a top with a slightly higher collar to cover up the marks on her neck.
Then Liu Qian and Sun Yuzhi came to the house and brought some specialties from their hometown.
This was the pearl earrings Liang Su gave them as a return gift.
But they still had things to do, so they left after delivering the things.
At noon, Xiao Wang came to the door with a letter.
"Leader Shen's letter."
Liang Su took a look and saw that it was sent from Coconut City.
She didn't know who sent it, so she didn't open it without permission, but waited for Shen Congji to come back.
Later, when Shen Congji came back from getting food, he opened the letter himself, and Liang Su finally knew who had sent it.
He had previously asked a friend in Coconut City to help investigate Qiao Yu's case, and now there is a result.
Liang Su stared at the words above, "Ms. Qiao Yu is no longer alive." His heart felt like it had fallen into an abyss and hit the ground hard, causing him to have difficulty breathing due to the pain.
She is no longer alive.
The letter said that Qiao Yu and his family of four came to Coconut City from Cheng County because there was a Chinese overseas who had returned from Malaysia and was a close friend of Mr. Qiao.
At that time, they lived in a small Western-style house near the arcades in Coconut City.
Less than two years later, Mr. Qiao passed away.
His death was like taking away the backbone of the Qiao family.
Mr. Qiao San, Liang Su's grandfather, became decadent from then on and only knew how to drink and have fun.
He fell in love with a widow and betrayed Ms. Qiao Yu's mother, Gu Yunsi.
After being entangled in various unbearable things for half a year, Gu Yunsi set himself on fire and burned down the entire villa.
Qiao Yu died in the fire while trying to save his mother.
Two female corpses were carried out at that time, and they were confirmed to be Qiao Yu and her daughter.
Mr. Qiao San was so grief-stricken that he fainted on the spot, and less than a year later, he married the widow.
Relying on the small inheritance left by the old man, he lived a relatively comfortable life.
Liang Su bit his lip tightly. Less than a year was enough for him to forget his wife and daughter who died in the fire and marry another woman.
Shen Congji gently pried open her lips and teeth. Liang Su raised her eyes with tears in her eyes and met his distressed eyes.
"Don't bite, it hurts."
Liang Su couldn't hold back any longer and threw herself into his arms and sobbed.
"Now that she's gone, I really have no relatives in this world."
At this moment, she suddenly felt that no news might be good news.
She can live her whole life with her blessings for Qiao Yu, even if they will never meet in this life.
Only when Liang Su learned that Qiao Yu had passed away did she realize how painful it was.
"I haven't had the chance to see her, tell her that I am her daughter, and tell her that I am happy now."
There is no chance anymore.
Shen Congji held her and comforted her softly until Liang Su calmed down.
She sniffed, her eyes red as a rabbit.
"I don't want to see Mr. Qiao San, but I want to go to my mother and grandmother's graves to pay my respects."
Shen Congji naturally agreed, “I’ll write back and ask him to find out where mom and grandma are buried.”
Liang Su was feeling a little depressed. Even though she and Qiao Yu had never spent a single day together, Qiao Yu was the only mother in the world who had been looking forward to her birth.
If it weren't for Zhan Xinlan, she believed Qiao Yu would be a very good mother.
Shen Congji immediately picked up his pen and wrote a letter, asking his friends to continue to help him inquire about the news.
As for Mr. Qiao San, a man who betrayed his wife, Liang Su didn't want to see him.
After lunch, Liang Su's mood still did not ease.
She was sitting on the bench in the main room in a daze, when she suddenly saw a figure, which came from far away and gradually became clearer in her sight.
A ripple appeared in Liang Su's eyes and he jumped off the chair.
"mom!"
It turned out to be Shen Limei.
Behind Shen Limei was Shen Congji's bodyguard Li Yan, who was carrying luggage in his hands. He must have just picked up someone.
Shen Limei hugged her and said, "Aji sent me a letter some time ago, saying that you were going to hold a banquet and asked me to come over. I thought it would be a good time to celebrate the New Year here."
She hasn't celebrated the New Year with Shen Congji for many years.
He was single before and lived in the dormitory, so there was not enough room for her to stay.
Now that we have applied for a house, it is more than enough for a family of three.
Liang Su smelled the long-lost scent and thought of Qiao Yu. Her eyes became hot and she couldn't help crying again.
"What happened? Did Aji bully you? Oh, don't cry, don't cry. If he wants to bully you, mom will take care of it for you."
Liang Su felt better, burst into laughter, and took her into the house.
"No, I just missed you and didn't expect you to come. Now that you're here, don't leave. It's nice to live here."
Shen Limei laughed and said, “Okay, I won’t leave. I’m still waiting to take care of your children in the future.”
Liang Su didn't feel shy either. She had actually thought about how many children she and Shen Congji would have.
"Taking care of children is too tiring. We will hire a nanny and leave you to the nanny when you are tired of playing."
It was the first time that Shen Limei heard such words, and she found them both thoughtful and funny.
"My daughter still cares about me, but what about that brat?"
Liang Su said: "He went to mail a letter. He didn't tell my mother that he was coming, otherwise I could come to pick you up."
Shen Limei couldn't sit still, so she opened her luggage bag and found all the things she brought for them.
"I've already arranged a car to pick me up, so why would I bother you? Look at these pickles. I was thinking of sending them to you."
Just when someone came, I took him along.
Liang Su swallowed his saliva and said greedily: "Mom, make me some braised pork belly."
Shen Limei smiled so hard that her teeth were showing, "Okay, I'll cook as much as you want. Buy some leaner meat."
When I had almost finished packing my things, I saw Shen Congji coming back.
"mom."
"Are you back? I see we haven't bought any New Year's goods at home, and the New Year is almost here." Shen Limei rambled on.
Liang Su explained with a smile: "It's not that I don't want to buy it. I originally planned to buy it tomorrow. Mom happened to be coming over. Let's go together tomorrow and buy new clothes for Mom and Aji."
Shen Limei said angrily: “I have a lot of clothes, it’s okay if I don’t buy any.”
Liang Su smiled and took her hand, "We're buying clothes, it doesn't matter how much they cost."
