Lao Gao said: "It's not easy to talk about Aunt Bai. Her family was sent here during the period of poverty alleviation. During those years, they were criticized and struggled against. Her husband couldn't stand it and fell seriously ill. He didn't make it. Later, her son was also gone.
She was the only one left, and her eyesight was not good. I heard that she went blind from crying when her daughter was lost.
She has been living alone these years. People in the village feel sorry for her. She has to rely on the neighbors for a bowl of rice and the neighbors for a bowl of noodles. It has been difficult for her to survive these years.
When I left that day, it looked like it was pretty bad.”
Du Ruo's heart tightened.
The car drove for more than two hours before arriving outside a small village. The villagers surrounded the car.
Just as Ling Yun's bodyguards were about to move, Lao Gao quickly said, "The people in our village have never seen the world. Many of them have never even left the mountains and have never seen a four-wheeled vehicle. They are just curious. Boss, don't be angry. I'll ask them to move out of the way."
Ling Yun also discovered that these people were just pointing and talking, and there was no malice on their faces.
Lao Gao got out of the car and drove everyone away. He led the way and led Du Ruo to the outside of a thatched hut.
Lao Gao shouted loudly: "Auntie Bai, there are guests at your house."
He shouted several times, but the room was completely silent.
Du Ruo's heart moved. She didn't bother to be polite anymore. She ran into the yard quickly and pushed open the door.
There was nothing in the room except a broken wooden bench by the window, on which stood a porcelain bowl half filled with water.
There was only a straw mat on the kang, and a white-haired old lady was sitting there. She was sitting there in a daze, with her withered hands hanging under the edge of the kang, and she seemed to have no breath.
Du Ruo walked forward and gently felt the old lady's breath with trembling fingers. There was a hint of warmth. Her heart trembled and she felt mixed emotions.
The old lady seemed to have just noticed something. She trembled her dark, skinny fingers and grasped Du Ruo's hand. She asked in a trembling voice, "Who are you? Who's here?"
Du Ruo said: "I am Bai Minhua's daughter."
The old lady was stunned. She repeated foolishly: "Minhua? Minhua..."
The old lady didn't know where she got the strength from, but she rushed straight towards Du Ruo. Perhaps she was already extremely weak, and she fainted from the extreme joy and sorrow.
Du Ruo hurriedly called Ling Yun over and asked him to take the old lady to the car first.
Ling Yun asked, "Who is this? Is this the person you've been looking for?"
Du Ruo said, "No, but she is also a relative of mine. I didn't know where she was before, and today is just a coincidence. Let's send her to the hospital first."
The car sped along the mountain road, heading straight for Nanshi First People's Hospital.
When we arrived at the People's Hospital, we went straight to the emergency room. The medical staff looked at the old lady in tattered clothes on the stretcher, then looked up at the two fashionable men and women next to her, wondering what was going on.
Du Ruo said, "I'll go pay the fee right away, you guys hurry up and save the man."
Since someone is paying the hospital bills, there is naturally no problem.
Ling Yun asked curiously: "Is this the person you have been looking for?"
Du Ruo shook her head. She was looking for her mother. In fact, that woman was not dead at all. In her previous life, she had always wanted to find her and ask her why she left her behind?
Now that she had lived two lives, how could she still be so unhappy? She hadn't wanted to look for him at all, but she ended up meeting her grandmother.
Du Ruo felt sad and couldn't help but smile bitterly. It turned out that her grandmother also had an accident at this time. Then she must have been so poor in her previous life that she only had money left.
Du Ruo suddenly had an idea.
She said, "Lingyun, do you still remember Mr. Ji Bailin, the overseas Chinese who saved us?"
Ling Yun said in surprise: "Why don't you remember? Back then, we were coming back from Myanmar and were almost killed at the border. If we hadn't happened to meet Mr. Ji, would we have been able to return alive?"
Du Ruo said, "I always feel that Mr. Ji looks familiar. Do you feel the same way?"
Ling Yun suddenly remembered something and said, "After we escaped danger, I brought gifts to the Ji family to express my gratitude. I accidentally met his mother, Mrs. Ji, who looks a bit like you."
Du Ruo clenched her fingers into fists. She asked, "This Mr. Ji's name is Ji Bailin. Is his mother's surname Bai?"
Ling Yun nodded and said, "His surname is Bai. Mr. Ji's mother is his father's step-wife. It is said that the two met in Hong Kong City and later moved their family to Country A.
Before I came here this time, I heard that the Ji family had returned to Hong Kong City. Although we haven't met them in this life, I have paid more attention to the Ji family. Why are you asking this? "
Du Ruo smiled bitterly and shook her head. She had no way to say it now.
She couldn't say that she suspected that Mr. Ji was her brother and Mrs. Ji was her biological mother who abandoned her husband and daughter, right?
As the two were talking, a young nurse came out of the emergency room and said to Du Ruo, "The elderly man inside is very seriously ill. The doctor has issued a critical illness notice. Are you a family member? Please sign it."
Du Ruo nodded and said, "Okay."
More than two hours later, the doctor came out, shaking his head, and said to Du Ruo, "The old man has been malnourished for a long time, and his condition has worsened this time. He didn't receive timely treatment, and now there's no hope of saving him. We'll have to wait a few more days."
Du Ruo said, "Please help me open a single room so that the old man can spend this period of time in peace."
The young nurse thought for a moment and said, "There is a suite at the end of the corridor, but it's a bit more expensive."
Du Ruo said, "It doesn't matter."
She said to Ling Yun, "Please take care of it for me. I'll go to the door to buy two sets of clothes."
The old lady's clothes were in tatters and she had to buy some daily necessities. She wanted to make the old lady live more comfortably in these last few days.
Ling Yun nodded: "Go quickly, be careful."
Du Ruo ran to the store in front of the hospital and bought several sets of clothes for the old lady from head to toe, and also bought some toiletries. Seeing that she bought a lot, the people in the store helped her send the clothes to the hospital ward.
As soon as Du Ruo entered the ward, she saw Ling Yun standing by the window. Seeing her come back, Ling Yun asked, "Why did you take so long?"
Du Ruo wiped the sweat from his head and said, "I'm already very fast. Look how much I bought?"
Hearing her voice, the old lady on the bed stretched out her hands and fumbled around the bed, saying, "Who is it? Who are you? Minhua?"
Tears flashed in the corners of Du Ruo's eyes. This was her grandmother. The old lady had two children in her lifetime, one of whom was her mother Bai Minhua.
Although that woman had abandoned her, she felt sad when she saw her grandmother like this.
