Chapter 482 Finale
"You're still naughty even at this age. This is really a bad habit you've had since you were little. Why do you always tease your grandma?"
Xu Ruoyu tapped her daughter's forehead, her low voice filled with loving rebuke. Jiang Wan smiled and leaned on her mother's shoulder again, just like she had done for many years.
"I'm free anyway, why not have some fun?"
"You naughty girl! Sister Han learned this from you, and now she's becoming more and more out of line."
"What nonsense! The second child is clearly getting better. The other day, Concubine Xian even praised him in front of me, saying that our second child is becoming more and more clever and lovable."
The old lady had sharp ears and when she heard her eldest granddaughter bragging again, she curled her lips in disbelief.
"Stop bragging about yourself. Don't we know better than you how lawless the second girl is now?
Jing Xiu is such an obedient and well-behaved child, yet she's been leading him around like an old cow every day. We, her family, are heartbroken watching this, so how could her mother-in-law not feel bad?
"Look at what you're saying, grandma. Our second son hasn't even gotten married yet, and you're already being partial to him and protecting him?
It's fine that you favor boys over girls in your own family, but why do you favor boys from other families as well? Whose grandmother are you?
"Humph, I am his grandmother!"
The answer was exactly the same as before, which made the old lady stunned for a moment, and then she pointed at her daughter-in-law and complained with a helpless smile.
"You're such a cruel woman! You've always been partial to the girl in front of you. You've spoiled the eldest girl to the point of being a jerk. Why do you come and tease an old woman like me every day?"
"Consider me filial!"
Jiang Wan leaned on his mother's shoulder with a smile and took over the conversation.
"I'm afraid you'll be lonely at home, so I took the time to come back and chat with you. Isn't that filial piety?"
Perhaps the last sentence was said a little too loudly, and the old man who was sitting on the side eating snacks nodded.
"Well, my eldest granddaughter is very filial!"
"Master, why does this sound like something bad to me?"
"Ah? You still need to make shoes and socks?
You say you are a stubborn girl, but doesn’t this old man still feel sorry for you?
The older they get, the more disobedient they become, which is really worrying.
"Forget it, I won't take care of it anymore. Let your father take care of it when he comes back. After all, it's the same principle that one generation takes care of another..."
"Stop nagging, old man. Eat your snacks now. You can't stop eating all day!"
The old lady stuffed the cake into the old man's hand, interrupted his chatter, and then waved to her daughter-in-law and eldest granddaughter.
"You two should go back to the yard and have some private conversation. Don't try to stand in front of us two old guys. When the second girl comes back, come over for dinner!"
"That's fine, then grandpa and grandma, we'll go first."
"Go away, go away, old man, eat your snacks! You can't hear anything I say every day, but you always like to interrupt. Who did you learn this bad habit from..."
Leaving the old couple sitting and chatting with each other, Jiang Wan followed his mother briskly back to his own yard.
Standing in the house and looking at all the familiar things, Jiang Wan's eyes were a little moist. Even though she had been married for a long time, this place had not changed at all.
I walked to the dressing table and opened the makeup box, and the small jewelry was still lying in its original place.
The tools used to make clothes, shoes and socks were also wiped clean and placed on the table under the window. It was obvious that they were carefully maintained.
Even the quilts folded on the bed were unchanged. Everything was the same as when she was at home.
"Mom, nothing has changed here."
"This is your boudoir, why is it changing?"
Mrs. Xu walked to the bed and sat down, looking at her daughter with a smile in her eyes.
"Sometimes Mom misses you so much that she just sits here for a while. When she closes her eyes, she feels like my little sister will be back from school soon."
"mother."
Jiang Wan walked over with red eyes, sat down next to his mother, and held her arm like he did when he was a child, rocking her gently.
"I'm sorry, I'm not a good daughter. I said before that I would come back to spend more time with you, but I didn't do it. You missed me so much at home, and I didn't have time to come back to spend more time with you. I'm sorry."
"Silly child."
Mrs. Xu smiled and rubbed her head, then took her daughter's beautiful, snow-white hand in her own. Some calluses had formed on it, probably from holding a pen for so long, and she pinched it gently, feeling a little distressed.
"You didn't do anything wrong outside, what do you have to feel sorry for?
My son does great things, and I am very happy!
I think you are my business, but I know that my daughter is different from other people's daughters. I knew it since you were a child.
So now that you can finally realize your ambitions, I'm really happy. If my sister could see this from heaven, she would definitely be very happy too.
Look, how outstanding our eldest sister is!"
Jiang Wan sniffed and leaned on his mother's shoulder with peace of mind.
No matter how wise, intelligent and decisive she was as a queen in the outside world, she would always be the same silly child in the eyes of her mother.
"Mom, am I your pride?"
"Of course! No one is better or more powerful than my eldest sister. You are not only my pride but also my salvation. If it weren't for you, I definitely wouldn't have been able to survive."
Thinking of the hardships she had experienced in the past, Xu Ruoyu's eyes darkened.
"Wanjie'er, mother should apologize to you.
You have been different from other children since you were young. I have always been afraid that you would cause some serious trouble, and have been trying to find ways to suppress your nature.
At that time I thought what I did was right, but now I know that what I did was wrong.
I shouldn't assume you can't do it just because I can't. You're clearly capable of doing things no other woman in the world can, yet I've delayed you for years..."
"Mom! How could there be such a thing as what you said?"
Jiang Wan sat up straight to stop his mother from blaming herself.
"What you did was right. I was reckless at the beginning, not considering the overall situation and never knowing how to deal with the aftermath.
It was you who took great pains to smooth out my edges bit by bit, allowing me to learn how to compromise with the world and make the most comprehensive choice.
You are not wrong.
I am very grateful to you. I know Xu Ruoyu is the best mother in the world and the mother who loves Jiang Wan the most. I have always known this!
So please don't apologize to me, it will make me sad and blame myself, thinking that it is because I am not good enough that I make you blame yourself. "
No matter when, a child's consideration for his mother will always easily move the mother beyond words.
Xu Ruoyu raised her hand and gently touched the corners of her daughter's red eyes, her voice as gentle as it had been for so many years.
"Don't cry, good boy. Mom is here."
"Well, it's good that mom is here!"
Leaning back on this shoulder that made him feel at ease, Jiang Wan felt that this feeling of security was really the same as many years ago.
When I first arrived in this world, the first person I saw when I opened my eyes was her. At that time, I was thinking, how much does this woman who cried like crazy love her child?
Later, she became the favored child, and her heart, which had been twisted by her parents in her previous life, gradually returned to its original state.
Jiang Wan really loves Xu Ruoyu.
Just like Xu Ruoyu loves Jiang Wan so much.
After being repaired here, the broken soul of the previous life gained the ability to love, and also had people she loved and who loved her.
Life is finally complete.
No regrets in this life.
