Little Ruanruan watched her older sister sneakily head towards the living room, and helplessly went to find her brother Su Lei.
When they found Su Lei's brother, they saw Grandma Qin walking silently towards the gate alone.
Xiao Ruanruan immediately pulled Su Lei along and the two siblings supported Old Madam Qin on either side.
"Grandma Qin, where are you going?" Little Ruanruan asked, looking up with her adorable little face.
Madam Qin reached out and lovingly stroked Xiao Ruanruan's soft hair. "Xiao Ruanruan, Lei'er, it's you two. I want to go to your mother's grave again and tell her that Grandpa Qin went to see her first."
Grandma Qin had a kind smile on her face, but her gentle words made Xiao Ruanruan feel sad again.
But Xiao Ruanruan didn't show it at all. Instead, she smiled sweetly and said, "Brother Lei'er and I will go with you!"
"Okay, thank you."
As Grandma Qin spoke, she let Su Lei support her, and she also took Xiao Ruanruan's little hand and walked towards the apartment.
Grandma Qin's courtyard was right at the foot of the cemetery, so the distance from the courtyard to her mother's grave wasn't far. That day, Su Yiqing carried Xiao Ruanruan and walked there in ten minutes.
Today, Xiaoruanruan accompanied Grandma Qin for almost an hour.
When they arrived at their mother's grave, Xiao Ruanruan and Lei'er helped Grandma Qin sit down. Xiao Ruanruan said in a soft, sweet voice, "Grandma Qin, you talk to Mommy. Lei'er and I will wait for you over there."
"Okay." Grandma Qin nodded with a kind smile. "Lei'er, could you please take care of Xiao Ruanruan for me?"
"Grandma Qin, don't worry." Su Lei led Xiao Ruanruan to the side.
When they looked back, they saw that Grandma Qin, whom they had been helping to sit in front of the grave, had slowly moved up and knelt down in front of the grave again.
Little Ruanruan felt a lump in her throat as she looked at Grandma Qin, who was moving with difficulty but still kneeling upright.
Grandma Qin didn't come to tell Mom about her greed; she came to confess to Mom.
She probably only found out about the Qin family in Yucheng, the second son of the Qin family, who was driven away by her scheme of abandoning his mother, after Qin Shan told her.
Therefore, she felt that the Qin family in Chongqing had caused her mother so much trouble, which was also her fault.
Su Lei held Xiao Ruanruan's hand tightly, saw that Xiao Ruanruan's eyes were red, and hugged her.
Old Madam Qin knelt before the grave, her turbid tears streaming uncontrollably down her face. "Ningning, I'm so sorry, Mom is so sorry!"
How I wish you hadn't been born in my womb, but had been born into the Xiao family from the start.
They gave you all happiness, but I brought you all suffering!
I've always dreamed that if I could find you again in this lifetime, even if it's just to catch a glimpse of you from afar, I would be content.
I've even dreamt that I hope you can be my daughter again in your next life.
I know these are all wishful thinking. I owe you so much, and I don't know how I can make up for it or repay you.
I was so blinded by greed that I was willing to abandon even my own daughter for a little material possession.
Now, because of those material possessions, the Qin family has lost all sense of kinship.
Ningning, please allow me to call myself "Mom" one last time. Mom has nothing to give you, I only wish that for all eternity to come, we will never be together again..."
As she spoke, Old Madam Qin was already sobbing uncontrollably. Her hand trembled as she reached out to stroke the gentle smile on Xiao Ning's photo on the tombstone. Finally, she managed to wipe away her tears and forced a smile. "Ningning, Mom is leaving. From now on... I won't bother you anymore."
Madam Qin wiped away her tears and quickly and resolutely got up to leave.
But she overlooked the fact that her body was no longer what it used to be. Her movements were too fast, and her legs, which had lost all feeling from kneeling, not only failed to help her stand up, but instead caused her to fall to the ground with a thud.
"Grandma Qin!" Xiao Ruanruan and Su Lei rushed over and saw that Grandma Qin had fallen to the ground and was unconscious.
Little Ruanruan quickly reached out her little hand and pinched Old Madam Qin's philtrum. "Brother Lei'er, I'll take care of Grandma Qin here. You should hurry up and find someone to help."
Su Lei glanced at Xiao Ruanruan with some concern.
"Brother Lei'er, you go ahead, I'm fine."
"Okay, I'll be right back." Su Lei got up and ran quickly out of the cemetery.
Little Ruanruan looked at Grandma Qin's pale, bloodless face, her little hands trying to perform first aid while feeling a mix of emotions.
She couldn't forgive Grandma Qin for what she did to her mother, so she couldn't call Grandpa Qin "grandfather" until he passed away.
But……
She couldn't bring herself to be cruel to an elderly woman who had felt guilty and remorseful for the mistakes she had made for decades.
She was too weak to even perform CPR on Grandma Qin; all she could do was use her soft little hands to massage a few acupoints for emergency treatment.
In fact, in the few days since they returned to Chongqing, Grandma Qin has aged at a visible rate.
Especially after Grandpa Qin passed away, almost instantly, Grandma Qin's originally gray hair turned completely white.
When Su Lei arrived with Gu Chen and Qin Guanlin.
Grandma Qin's face was no longer so pale thanks to Xiao Ruanruan's acupressure massage, and her breathing had become much smoother, but she was still not fully awake.
Gu Chen gave Grandma Qin a quick check-up, then gestured for Qin Guanlin to pick her up and take her back.
"Grandma Qin was just too emotional just now, and she got up too quickly, which is why she fainted. She didn't get hurt when she fell to the ground. She'll be fine after resting for a while." Gu Chen said, his hand unconsciously grabbing Xiao Ruanruan's small hand.
Su Lei glanced at Gu Chen holding Xiao Ruanruan's hand, then looked at Xiao Ruanruan again, and finally suppressed the strong feeling of discomfort in his heart, ignoring them.
At this moment, Su Xixi pulled Qin Huan to the back of the courtyard, frowned, looked up at Qin Huan with a slightly fierce expression, and said, "Qin Huan, do you follow your father to strike the wooden fish because you want him to become a monk with you?"
