Chapter 253 Grandma Loves You (Sixth Update)
When the old couple calmed down and looked at An Zhixia Qing eagerly, she said coldly: "I know she is a spoiled child in your eyes. Even if she ran away from home, even if she has been gone for more than 20 years, she is gone after all, so all the mistakes have disappeared.
My brother always remembers her kindness, because in the 19 years that we were together, the only warmth came from her.
But I hate her!"
There were only three of them left in the hall, and the Li family tactfully left space for them to recognize their relatives.
Hearing these three words, the old couple looked bitter and said directly: "Child, you have suffered."
An Zhixia was about to vent her resentment towards her mother, but she was stopped. With tears in her eyes, she pursed her lips and said aggrievedly, "All of you love her, but who cares about me and my brother? We are like flowers and plants growing in cracks in rocks. We have to do our best to stay alive, otherwise we may not see the sun tomorrow."
Old Mrs. Jiang hugged her tightly in her arms, not caring about the pain at all. She called her darling and patted her on the back, coaxing her, "I won't do that again. Grandma loves you. Grandma loves you very much. I will make up for the love you have lacked for 19 years!"
"Yes, it's better that the unfilial daughter is gone. She went to pursue love on her own. The only thing she did right in her life was to bring you and your brother to us." Old Master Jiang didn't expect that An Zhixia was really his own grandson. Thinking about finding out about the An family, his heart was filled with regret and pain. His precious grandson and granddaughter had no one to protect them, and they were bullied for so many years.
"From now on, grandpa will take charge of you two siblings. No one will be able to bully you anymore!"
An Zhixia couldn't help but cry. The grievances, depression and extravagant hopes of her lack of love for thirty years, as well as the sadness and hopelessness before the original owner left, were like a malignant tumor that had been staying in the deepest part of her heart, just waiting to fester and swallow her whole.
She is a human being, an ordinary person with two eyes, a nose and a mouth. Even though she once shone brightly throughout the world, she still has humble hopes for family and love.
The mother and daughter cried so hard that the sky was dark, and after Mr. Jiang calmed down, he sat on the sofa and watched them cry. In the end, the two of them really couldn't cry anymore, their throats were hoarse and their tears were dry, and their emotions were exhausted. Looking at each other's ugly appearance with tears and snot and eyes swollen like light bulbs, they couldn't help laughing.
"Not sad? If not, let's go home." The old man's eyes were also stained with salt from the dried tears. He laughed and said, "Xia Xia, stay at home tonight and go to work early tomorrow morning."
An Zhixia is not stupid. After crying, all the resentment and hatred disappeared with the departure of An's mother. The real thing is to grasp the warmth in front of her.
She grinned and shouted hoarsely, "Grandma, Grandpa, let's go home!"
"Hey, let's go home, my dear, let's go home!" Old Mrs. Jiang nodded her head happily like a chicken pecking at rice.
Old Master Jiang also sighed several times in succession, and the smile on his usually solemn face never stopped, making the wrinkles piled up to form flowers, but he looked unusually energetic.
After leaving Li's house, An Zhixia and Old Lady Jiang walked home slowly with their arms folded. Old Lady Jiang kept pointing her finger to introduce An Zhixia to the compound. She would stop and show off to everyone she met: "Hey, Old Qin, are you just out for a walk after dinner? This is my granddaughter, my dear. She was sent to someone else to be raised because of her poor health. She just came back last year. She has been busy with work and only came to see me, an old lady, until now."
The sky was a little dim, and Lao Qin looked at An Zhixia hard. A person who had been crying for two or three hours could not stand such a mess, no matter how good her foundation was. Her hair was a little messy, her clothes were not tidy, there was obvious water on her shoulders, her eyes and nose were red and swollen, and her makeup was all smudged. Her little face was like a palette, and it was really hard to tell what was good about her.
Lao Qin nodded and said, "Your granddaughter is so cute. No wonder you kept her hidden."
"Yes, my sweetheart is the most obedient and well-behaved. I can't bear to let her come out and be teased by you old guys," said Old Mrs. Jiang proudly. When she saw another person, she greeted him from afar and introduced her granddaughter enthusiastically.
Within an hour, everyone in the entire Zhaoyang District heard that the Jiang family had a granddaughter who appeared out of nowhere. She looked so dirty, like a little beggar, with messy hair and untidy clothes, and her little face was smeared like a little cat. No one knew why the old lady of the Jiang family was so happy and pulled people to introduce her in a high-profile manner.
However, the Jiang family was the best in the compound in terms of both status and wealth, and only two or three families could match them. Everyone praised the Jiang family, and even if they had something bad to say, they only dared to say it in private, and few people dared to speak to Old Lady Jiang in person.
Finally they arrived home, and Old Mrs. Jiang took An Zhixia to choose a house.
The Jiang family lived in a two-story building with a large open space in front and behind the house, which was neatly tidied up by the aunt into a vegetable garden, with only some roses planted near the iron railings. The walls of the house were covered with lush creepers.
The house was not small. An Zhixia estimated that the first floor was more than 300 square meters and the second floor was 200 square meters.
"Look, this is the living room, over there is the kitchen, this is the toilet, that small room is your Aunt Zhang's room, and the other three rooms, two are guest rooms, and one is your grandfather's study.
Our family all lives upstairs," Old Mrs. Jiang kept holding An Zhixia's hand, not wanting to let go, for fear that once she let go, the person would disappear like a bubble, and she would wake up from her dream.
"This is the bedroom of your grandfather and I, your uncle and aunt, and your bastard brother. Since your mother ran away from home, we have spent a lot of money to find her, but we haven't found any news. Later, we moved to Kyoto, thinking that if your mother is still alive, she must have married and had children.
She is a debt collector. Grandma's tears over the past twenty years have paid off the debt owed to her and her daughter. These two rooms were prepared for you two, and I didn't expect it to be the right choice. Do you like them?"
As she spoke, Old Mrs. Jiang took out the key from her bosom and opened the door.
The lighting here is excellent, and the last rays of sunlight from the horizon gently shine through the gauze curtains and fill the entire room. The two-meter square solid wood bed is covered with several layers of mattresses, and on top is a red floral four-piece set. At the head of the bed is a semicircular baffle, which is also wrapped and filled with thick cotton, somewhat similar to the headboards of later generations. At the end of the bed is a beige European-style dressing table, and by the window are desks and chairs of the same color. On one side is a wall-full treasure cabinet and a large wardrobe.
The thoughtfulness of the decorator was evident everywhere. An Zhixia couldn't help but hug the frail old lady who was only as tall as her shoulders. She was so moved that she said, "Grandma, thank you..."
