Qiaomei may not understand what that means, but Chen Shuxu, who witnessed the death of his father and mother, understands it very well.
At that moment he understood that he could not keep his grandmother this time, so he just gently woke her up, his eyes full of nostalgia and reluctance.
The old lady opened her eyes. She knew very well that she was on her deathbed. She looked at Qiaomei beside her, and her voice was so weak that it was almost inaudible.
"Qiaomei, go, go call Grandma Zhao who saved you. Grandma, I have something to say."
Qiaomei didn't understand what was going on and thought that her grandmother wanted to chat with Grandma Zhao, so she went out happily.
However, as soon as she left, Grandma Zhao gasped for breath twice. Chen Shuxu's voice trembled, "Grandma! Grandma, hold on! Please, grandma, don't, don't leave us!"
Even if he tried to endure it, Chen Shuxu finally collapsed when faced with the death of his loved ones.
The old lady stretched out her trembling hand, wanting to touch her grandson's head like she used to, but unfortunately she had almost no strength left, and her hand fell uncontrollably as soon as she raised it.
Chen Shuxu knew what she wanted to do and immediately placed her hand on his head. He also leaned down gently, "Grandma..."
"Good boy, thank you for your hard work. You've worked so hard this past year, and I can see you're great. I'm really satisfied. But for the road ahead, I can't help you anymore. You'll have to rely on yourself."
Although Qiaomei is not your biological sister, grandma can see that you two have a good relationship. That's good. At least you have a companion. Grow up well."
She only said a few words, but the old lady seemed to have used up all her strength. She gasped weakly, as if she would choke at any moment.
Qiaomei, who had called Zhao from outside the tent, was stunned. What had she just heard? How could she not be her brother's biological sister?
She was a little dazed for a moment, but Zhao had guessed something from the noise inside, so she strode in quickly and saw the old lady's weak appearance.
"Old sister, what's wrong with you? Don't worry, don't worry, I'm here. If you have anything to say, just talk slowly. There's still time."
Zhao came over and gently helped the old lady to breathe. It took a while for her to recover, and her eyes were full of apology when she looked at Zhao.
"Big sister, I, I'm sorry for you. My body is no longer able to function. Originally, I wanted to take them to seek refuge with their second uncle, huh~~huh~~huh~~, now, I'm afraid it's no use.
I, I want to ask you, can you, can you give them a ride. His second uncle is working in Xianliang County, Yongcheng Prefecture. If you, you are on your way, please give them a ride! "
As she spoke, the old lady took out a small cloth bag from her bosom with great difficulty. The bag was a little dirty, and although it was made of scraps of cloth, it was very sturdy. She stuffed it directly into Zhao's hand, and Zhao knew what was inside by just touching it.
"I, I know, this money isn't much, but these two kids are sensible and can help with the work. You, you can just be two extra farmhands. Give them food, as long as they don't starve to death. Please, please."
The old lady had great difficulty speaking and had to take a deep breath after saying almost two or three words.
To be honest, Zhao was hesitant, but seeing that she was still worried about her two children at this time, she really couldn't bear to let go.
She knew that the old lady was waiting for her consent, and only when the two children were taken care of would she dare to give up.
Little Bell had come in at some point, and seeing this situation, she felt a little helpless. She tugged at Zhao's sleeve and said, "Grandma..."
Seeing this, Zhao said, "Well, sister, don't worry, I will take them with me. We are on the same route as we are fleeing, so I will send them there when the time comes. You don't have to worry. These two children are good children. Don't worry."
Hearing that Zhao agreed, the old lady finally smiled. She looked at Chen Shuxu and Qiaomei who came in later, smiled with satisfaction, and finally closed her extremely tired eyes.
"grandmother--"
It was not until this moment that Chen Shuxu and Qiaomei rushed to the old lady and burst into tears. Qiaomei then understood why her grandmother asked her to call someone, and she felt even more sad.
To her, grandma was the best person to her besides her brother. How could she not be sad when her grandma left?
But some things are irreversible. No matter how sad they are, the old lady will not survive.
Their atmosphere also infected Xiao Lingling, and her eyes turned red. Perhaps thinking of her grandmother's age, her heart tightened and she held Zhao's hand tightly.
Zhao felt sad and didn't want to disturb them, so she took the little bell and left.
As soon as the grandfather and grandson came out, they saw the Li family members rushing out. They shook their heads at them and knew what they meant. They also sighed helplessly.
Even Sun was dazed for a moment, but she quickly recovered and pulled Zhao a few steps towards her own tent.
"What's going on? Why did they ask you to come over when the old lady is gone?"
That’s right, Sun knew that it was the child who came to call someone. They were just cleaning the wounded. She was puzzled at the time, but since no one called her, she didn’t rush over.
But calling someone at this time was obviously not a good thing, so he hurried to ask, for fear that this soft-hearted sister-in-law had agreed to something she shouldn't have agreed to.
But her worries were not unnecessary at all.
