The three of them sat down, and the old lady couldn't help but sigh whenever she thought about her sister-in-law's past.
"Sigh..." Another sigh escaped her lips.
The room was very quiet; apart from the old lady's sighs, there were practically no other sounds.
"Actually, I don't know much either. After all, Tianjia didn't stay in the Xu family for more than a few years before she somehow got lost. She didn't return until many years later after regaining her memories. And then, not long after that, Tianjia, she..."
So I went.
The old lady choked up and couldn't say the last three words.
Ye Wanying glanced at the man sitting beside her with some concern, but seeing that he was still quite calm, she felt a little relieved.
The real concern is that the mother-in-law's affairs have always been a painful topic for men to discuss, so even the couple rarely talk about it in private.
Previously, the man was always extremely excited whenever he met Dean Gu.
Fortunately, many misunderstandings have been cleared up, and the man has calmed down considerably.
The old lady frowned, knowing the young couple in front of her were waiting, and continued:
"I heard Tianqin say that Tianjia was taken home by the old man when she was seven or eight years old. She lived in the Xu family for four years. One Spring Festival, when she went to the temple fair, she got lost and could not be found after that."
Later, after learning that Tianjia had been taken away by the Gu family patriarch, I also learned some things from him. I only knew that the Gu family patriarch found Tianjia on an island outside the province. At that time, Tianjia was covered in injuries, unconscious, and had a high fever. The Gu family patriarch originally intended to send her back to the hospital and leave, but who knew that Tianjia would lose her memory after waking up.
Eleven or twelve-year-old children, injured and suffering from amnesia, were not considered precious girls in that era.
Grandpa Gu was also worried that Tianjia might suffer some harm after he left... but the decision to take Tianjia with him was made at the very end.
They stayed in the hospital for a long time, about a month.
Coincidentally, Grandpa Gu was on a business trip there at the time, and Tianjia was recuperating in the hospital, so Grandpa Gu would visit her every day whenever he had time.
After a month, they had developed feelings for each other.
For a whole month, no one came to claim her, and the police were at their wits' end, so Grandpa Gu took Tianjia back to the Gu family home.
When Tianjia regains her memory and comes back to find us, Xiao Dan will be seven years old by then, right? It's been quite a while, so I can't be 100% sure about my memory now.
But the man beside him suddenly spoke up:
"I was seven years old, just after my seventh birthday. A few days later, my mother suddenly collapsed at home. After that, she regained her memory, which I remember very clearly."
This man's memory is unlikely to be faulty.
Seven years old?
Ye Wanying narrowed her eyes slightly. In other words, her mother-in-law had only been back to her memories for a maximum of two years before... passing away?
How should I put it?
Blame God!
Aside from two brief periods of affection from the Xu family patriarch and the Gu family patriarch, my mother-in-law seemed to have had little luck in her life!
Even at a young age, they were displaced and suffered injuries and amnesia. I can't even imagine what kind of life that must have been like.
Decades ago, things weren't very peaceful, were they?
Inevitably, a deep sense of heartache arose in my heart for my mother-in-law, whom I had never met.
