The old lady sighed deeply, her heart aching as if it were being torn apart. Although Gu Nianci was her cousin, she was 10 years younger than her and had been with her since childhood. She even took Nianci with her when she got married.
Although Nianci called her sister, she was actually like her daughter.
Nianci, whom she raised with the utmost care, was betrayed by those beasts...
The old lady gritted her teeth, her grief and indignation evident in her expression.
Is that man in the mountains good to you?
Gu Nianci nodded slightly, "He's been good to me, but it's all my fault that I dragged him down..."
Cloudy tears streamed down her face, and Gu Nianci couldn't continue speaking.
She's a jinx!
Although the man in the mountains was poor and not good-looking, he was really good to her. But their good days didn't last long. When the man went to the mountains to collect herbs, he fell off a cliff and died instantly.
The man went to collect herbs simply to sell them for money so he could buy new cloth to make new clothes for Gu Nianci.
"It's all my fault..."
Gu Nianci wept uncontrollably.
Although this man was not good at sweet talk and was uneducated, he was the only man in the world who was good to her.
"So that's why you want to go back to that poor mountain village?" The old lady knew her very well and saw through Gu Nianci's thoughts at a glance.
“He has no children or relatives. If I don’t go back, there will be no one to visit his grave and burn money for him.”
Gu Nianci sighed.
She didn't actually love that man; it was more out of a sense of indebtedness than love.
The old lady glared at her and scolded, "You don't need to stay there to burn money at the grave. From now on, you can live at home. I'll go back with you to visit the grave during Qingming Festival!"
If all else fails, the man's grave can be moved to Pingjiang City. Anyway, the man has no children or relatives. Just because he was good to Nianci, the old lady is willing to burn money for him every year!
Gu Nianci stammered, "I...I'll bring bad luck!"
Ye Qingqing couldn't stand it anymore and rushed over, shouting, "Grandma, why are you so superstitious? Don't you want to acknowledge me?"
"No, no...that's not what Grandma meant. How could Grandma not acknowledge Qing'er..."
Gu Nianci hurriedly explained, afraid that Ye Qingqing would misunderstand.
She didn't want to stay and bring bad luck to her cousin and granddaughter because she loved them.
The old lady glared again and made the final decision: "Don't say anything more, just stay at home!"
Seeing that Gu Nianci still wanted to say something, the old lady got angry, raised her hand and scolded, "Say it again or I'll hit you!"
Gu Nianci was so frightened that she quickly shut her mouth.
Ye Qingqing found it amusing, feeling that Gu Nianci acted like a daughter and mother in front of the old lady.
"Oh dear... what am I going to do? They're both grandmas, how am I supposed to address them?"
Ye Qingqing deliberately exaggerated her expression, instantly lightening the somber and sorrowful atmosphere.
The old lady couldn't help but laugh, and said reproachfully, "That's easy, just call me Great-Grandma from now on."
"Grandma!"
Ye Qingqing called out sweetly, then moved closer to Gu Nianci and called out sweetly, "Grandma!"
Gu Nianci smiled with relief, holding Ye Qingqing close and looking at her no matter how long she looked, she couldn't get enough of it. God was good to her, giving her such a beautiful granddaughter!
"Grandma, look, I can wear your bracelet!"
Ye Qingqing shook her hand, her wrist adorned with a beautiful emerald green bracelet.
"Qing'er's hands are just as delicate as yours!" the old lady said with a smile.
Gu Nianci smiled and told Ye Qingqing to keep the bracelet on.
"No way! I can't do my homework with the bracelet on. I'd be heartbroken if it got broken!"
Ye Qingqing took off the bracelet and returned it to Gu Nianci, but Gu Nianci refused to accept it and told her to keep it herself.
Although Ye Qingqing really wanted to chat with Gu Nianci a little longer, it was already late, and if she didn't go back soon, Ye Zhiguo would definitely become suspicious, so she had no choice but to leave reluctantly.
Lu Mo escorted her home. As soon as they stepped out of the Sang residence, Ye Qingqing's smile vanished, and tears she had been holding back for so long streamed down her face.
