"What's wrong?"
Xia Lan looked at Sister-in-law Caihua, who pointed to the old lady's house.
"The old lady is... dying..."
"Cauliflower sighed."
"Are you sick?"
Xia Lan was taken aback and asked.
Cauliflower shook her head.
“She looks to be in really good spirits, but I feel like… she looks like my mom before she passed away.”
Sister-in-law Caihua didn't mean to curse the old lady, but the old lady had been acting strangely these past few days, with unusually good spirits.
"I'll go take a look."
Xia Lan knew that Sister-in-law Caihua wasn't trying to curse the old lady. After glancing at Sister-in-law Caihua, Xia Lan headed towards the old lady's house.
Before she even reached the door, she saw the old lady come out, and her eyes lit up when she saw Xia Lan.
"Oh, you've finally arrived! Otherwise, I wouldn't know where to look for you."
"Let's go, let's go."
The old lady pulled Xia Lan and walked outside.
Where to?
Xia Lan was being pulled along by the old lady, and seeing how briskly she walked, she really didn't seem to be sick.
An abnormally excited state of mind.
"Just follow me!"
The old lady smiled mysteriously.
Xia Lan followed the old lady in bewilderment until the old lady led her to the real estate bureau, where Xia Lan stared at the old lady in astonishment.
"No, what's wrong with you...?"
"What else can I do? I'm going to give you my house!"
Xia Lan was stunned when the old lady told the staff that she wanted to transfer the house to Xia Lan.
"no……"
"No, it's decided. I'm giving it to you! Just keep it."
The old lady acted domineeringly and directly instructed the staff to transfer the registration to Xia Lan's name.
"...Why are you doing this?"
Xia Lan looked at the old lady, wondering why she suddenly did this.
"I'm leaving."
The old lady grasped Xia Lan's hand and whispered.
Xia Lan was startled.
"Don't say that. People will definitely have to leave. I don't have much time left."
The old lady smiled at Xia Lan.
"The happiest thing in my life is meeting you. My old man already knows that. For me, there are no regrets in this world."
The old lady's words brought tears to Xia Lan's eyes.
She held back the tears welling up in her eyes, refusing to let them fall.
You should be happy for me.
The old lady took Xia Lan's hand and led her to the place she had chosen.
"I'm just asking for your help. When I die, cremate me and bury my ashes here."
The old lady pointed to the burial plot she had chosen.
"When the old man dies, please bury us together."
"……good."
Xia Lan choked back tears as she agreed.
"Good boy."
The old lady was overjoyed.
Xia Lan accompanied the old lady and bought everything that needed to be prepared, including two sets of funeral clothes.
The old lady was worried that if the old man passed away, there would be no one to prepare for him, so she simply prepared everything herself.
After buying all these things, Xia Lan helped the old lady home.
When the old man saw Xia Lan, his eyes lit up. When he looked at the old lady, he smiled calmly at her.
"You're back..."
"Um."
The old lady said happily.
She slowly lay down beside the old man and told him everything she had done that day.
Xia Lan held back her tears, walked outside, leaned against the door, and could no longer stop crying.
Qin Yu waited at home all day, but Xia Lan did not come home.
The whole family panicked.
I thought something had happened to Xia Lan.
It wasn't until Sister-in-law Caihua called and told Qin Yu about the old lady's situation that things came to a head.
When Qin Yu and Qin Yu arrived, the old lady was leaning against the old man's chest as if she were asleep, with a happy smile on her face.
Xia Lan choked back tears and threw herself into Qin Yu's arms.
"The old lady has passed away."
Xia Lan was in tears. She had spent the whole day with the old lady and followed her home. The old lady had just talked with the old man for a while and then, as if she was tired, she fell asleep in the old man's arms.
Xia Lan was still breathing when she arrived, but by the time she realized something was wrong, the old lady had already passed away with a smile on her face.
"She's gone."
The old man looked calmly at Xia Lan and said in a hoarse voice.
Xia Lan then asked Sister-in-law Caihua to call home, while she stayed to keep the old man company.
Qin Yu and Qin Jun came over. Qin Jun reported to his superiors, and Xia Lan, following the custom, wiped the old lady's body and changed her into her burial clothes.
A mourning hall was set up in the old lady's home, and white cloth was hung up.
None of the old lady's so-called juniors attended the funeral. Xia Lan personally handled the old lady's funeral, treating her as her own elder.
"You don't have to do that..."
Xiao Yuqin looked at Xia Lan and said with heartache.
"The old lady left all her things to me..."
Xia Lan looked at Xiao Yuqin with red eyes.
Xiao Yuqin understood Xia Lan's meaning and stopped trying to persuade her.
While everyone was busy with the old lady's affairs, Qin Yu went to check on the old man and found him sleeping peacefully.
Qin Yu sensed something was wrong, reached out and touched the old man, only to find he was no longer breathing.
"……dad."
Qin Yu called out.
Qin Jun heard Qin Yu's voice and went into the room. He saw Qin Yu standing by the bed, silently looking at the old man.
"The old man also left."
"His body couldn't hold on any longer. He only stayed until now so that the old lady could pass away first..."
Qin Jun knew long ago that the old man's body had reached its limit, but the old man had persevered for so many years.
Now that the old lady is gone, the old man no longer has to struggle.
