"See? She doesn't believe it."
Mo Yan pointed at Wen Yueyi and spoke.
old lady:"……"
"I'm talking to my granddaughter, what's it to you? Why are you here to say that?"
The old lady was furious and grabbed Wen Yueyi, pulling her aside.
Wen Yueyi subconsciously looked at Mo Yan.
Mo Yan smiled and said, "Since your grandmother wants to get closer to you, then go ahead. We'll go back and pack our things first, and remember to come back for dinner later."
Looking at her stepmother's smiling face, Wen Yueyi always felt that her smile was fake. Could it be that she was actually a little sad?
Or should she not go?
"Go ahead, go ahead," Xu Tingrong said, knowing that Wen Yueyi was overthinking things again.
Wen Yueyi then followed the old lady to the side.
The old lady led Wen Yueyi a long way, and only spoke after watching Mo Yan and the others walk away.
"Why did you suddenly come back? What about the money I asked you to manage? What about your father's salary? Is it in your hands?"
"You're just a child, you shouldn't carry too much money. Give it to me first, I'll keep it safe for you."
Wen Yueyi: "..."
If these words had been said to her when she was a child, she would have believed them. Now that she's twenty, how could she not understand?
I used to think that my grandmother loved me very much, calling me every few days.
Later I realized that she probably loved the obedient version of herself that kept asking for money to send back to her.
"I have no money. My dad's salary is with my stepmother. Grandma, what delicious food did you make for me? Let's go eat now, I'm starving."
The old lady's expression changed instantly, and she flung her hand away.
Wen Yueyi glanced at her hand that had been shaken off and clenched it tightly.
"You want to eat good food even though you don't have money? What's in your head? Is eating all you think about?"
Didn't I tell you to bring all of your dad's salary? Those mother and daughter are outsiders, don't you understand?"
Wen Yueyi understood, of course. Because she knew they were outsiders, she hadn't dared to give her heart these past few years. While constantly hurting them, she was also hurting herself.
Grandma always said she loved her and doted on her, but she also shook off her hand very forcefully.
"Grandma, you say you love me, so why are you treating me like this!"
old lady:"……"
"No, let me explain."
"No need to explain. I'm just a child. My stepmother is my father's wife. I have no money. If you feel sorry for me, take me in. From now on, I'll live with you."
"I eat, drink, and relieve myself all at your place. I don't want to live with them anymore, okay?"
At this point, she grabbed the old lady's hand and said very seriously, "Grandma, don't worry, although I don't have any money now, I will work hard in the future. I will work hard to earn money. You believe me, okay!"
No money!
Believe it for nothing!
"I believe you? Why should I believe you? You're just a little girl. You're not even part of my family, yet you expect me to take care of your every need? Don't be ridiculous!"
"I thought you were rich, but it turns out you have nothing!"
After the old lady found out that Wen Yueyi had no money, she immediately turned hostile.
Why did she call Wen Yueyi all these years? It was to ask her for money.
They have such sweet words.
“You are my granddaughter, of course I love you. I will save the money for you as your dowry in the future.”
Wen Yueyi also thought back to that time, how much she trusted her grandmother.
Her father went to work, her mother ran away, and her only relative was her maternal grandmother. She was willing to believe whatever her grandmother said.
Compared to her stepmother, with whom she had no blood relation, she was much closer to her maternal grandmother.
The old lady kept calling her "my darling," which made her trust her even more.
"Grandma, you're calling me a little girl? What happened to the money I gave you before? Didn't you say you were going to save it for my dowry?"
That was money she had painstakingly saved up.
"What money? That's the money you gave me for your mother's retirement. I gave birth to her, raised her, and then you came into my life. It's only right that you give me this money for her retirement."
Since you have no money, get out of here. My daughter divorced your father many years ago, and you have nothing to do with our family anymore.
Don't come to my house again.
After saying that, the old lady turned and left, leaving Wen Yueyi alone at the village entrance.
At that moment, Wen Yueyi was completely stunned. She turned around and looked in the direction she had left, tears welling up in her eyes instantly.
My nose feels so sore and sore.
This was the meeting she had been looking forward to for a long time.
She was thinking that she hadn't seen her grandmother in a long time, and her grandmother must miss her very much. She would definitely hug her and take her back to cook delicious food for her.
It turns out it was all just wishful thinking.
"Actually, my grandma was like that too."
Just then, Xu Tingrong's voice rang out behind her.
Wen Yueyi didn't want to turn around; she didn't want this guy to see her crying.
"Why are you here? Didn't you go back to pack your things?"
Why did you come back again? Did you want to see her make a fool of herself?
Xu Tingrong walked up to her and looked at her aggrieved expression. "What's wrong? Aren't you usually so arrogant? I'm not used to seeing you looking so wronged now."
What's the big deal? Isn't this normal? Back then, my grandma kicked my mom and me out, saying that after my dad died, we weren't part of that family anymore. Did you see me cry?
"You cried." Wen Yueyi wiped away her tears and looked at Xu Tingrong very seriously. "I remember you cried back then. Your eyes were red and your face was all smeared with tears. It was really funny."
Xu Tingrong: "..."
"I'm here comforting you, and you're laughing at me? That's going too far."
Wen Yueyi snorted, "Who needs your comfort? I just had sand in my eyes."
"Alright, alright, you've got sand in your eyes. Go back now, we have a lot of things to do."
Xu Tingrong pulled Wen Yueyi towards home.
Looking at Xu Tingrong's back and her hand, Wen Yueyi thought, "Actually, Xu Tingrong isn't that annoying."
When they returned home, they found the yard overgrown with weeds; it had truly become a paradise for plants.
"How could this be? Didn't my dad hire someone to take care of it regularly?"
This is terrifying! How can I sleep?
"That's right, your dad did hire someone to help. They come every week to help clean up the clutter in the yard and such."
In just one week, it has become so desolate? Wen Yueyi couldn't believe it.
"Impossible! I feel like this hasn't been cleaned for at least a year."
"It's only a week. I've already asked the people around me. Hurry up and pack up. I have something to tell you in a bit."
Mo Yan discovers that the apocalypse was not caused by a meteorite, and that everything around her is already quietly changing.
Perhaps the apocalypse has nothing to do with that meteorite; even without the meteorite, the apocalypse would still have come.
