Several days passed like this, and just when An An thought there was no news from Xu Chengcheng, something unexpected but reasonable came: Li Jingying passed away.
It was said that she had half-opened and half-closed her eyes for three days. She was happy to see her brother Li Jingyue, but she didn't see her little son. She died with hatred in her heart.
On the fourth day after Li Jingying passed away, Li Jingyue and his family held a funeral. Xu Chengcheng's eyes had swelled up like walnuts. All the pressure during this period was borne by this little girl who was not even twenty years old.
After Li Jingying passed away, Xu Chengcheng collapsed completely. The funeral was handled by Li Jingyue. Although his sister was gone, Li Jingyue thought that she had to die in a dignified manner.
When An An saw Xu Chengcheng again, she had become very thin and out of shape. She was no longer the Xu Chengcheng with a plump face and heroic features. On the contrary, she looked like someone who had just escaped from a refugee slum, with messy hair, sunken eyes, and protruding cheekbones. The first thing An An said when she saw Xu Chengcheng was, "You are going to see your aunt off today. Do you want your aunt to see you like this? "
With these words, Xu Chengcheng, who had not spoken for several days, collapsed instantly. She cried and said, "An An, I miss my mother so much!" Xu Chengcheng was brought up by Li Jingying, and she had never used other people's hands. It is said that a daughter is a mother's little cotton-padded jacket. No matter how powerful Xu Chengcheng is outside, she basically listens to Li Jingying's words when she returns home. She never rebels and is quite well-behaved.
Moreover, Li Jingying has an advantage, that is, she treats her daughter and son equally. In some ways, she is even better to Xu Chengcheng. As a person involved, Xu Chengcheng knows her mother's goodness better than anyone else.
An An was stunned for a moment. She could help Xu Chengcheng fight off bad guys, help Xu Chengcheng dress and wash, and even accompany her in the future. But she couldn't help with Xu Chengcheng's words.
She knew better than anyone the pain of missing someone but never being able to see them in her lifetime, and she knew how painful it was to lose a loved one. Just like she came to this world from the afterlife, she might never be able to go back in this lifetime, let alone see Dad and Mom Gu.
But An An was better than Xu Chengcheng in that she knew Dad and Mom Gu were doing well in that world, while Li Jingying had completely disappeared from this world, and she had completely disappeared. For countless days and nights to come, Xu Chengcheng could only lick her wounds alone.
An An didn't know how to comfort Xu Chengcheng. She opened her arms, stood on tiptoes, and hugged Xu Chengcheng tightly. She murmured, "It will be fine, everything will be fine." The great reluctance and pain will always heal the wounds with the passage of time.
She is the best example. Now when she mentions Dad Gu and Mom Gu, she will burst into tears.
Xu Chengcheng hugged An An unconsciously, without saying a word, but crying silently. In fact, she hasn't shed tears for several days, including the moment her mother left. Her eyes were dry, but there was not a single tear.
Sometimes, it is lucky to be able to cry out the pain. I am afraid that the pain is so extreme that I can't even cry. That means the tears that were originally going to flow out are swallowed back into the stomach. Only those who have experienced it will know the taste.
An An let Xu Chengcheng cry silently without disturbing her. Before she came in, Li Jingyue had found her alone and said that Xu Chengcheng didn't eat, drink or cry in the past few days. The silence was scary, so she asked An An to come in and comfort her.
In fact, it was good enough that Xu Chengcheng could cry at this time.
The room was very quiet. For a moment, only low, small sobs could be heard, until a burst of noise outside broke the silence.
An An's heart sank. She slowly lifted Xu Chengcheng's shoulders and said seriously, "Chengcheng, let's go out. We have a tough battle to fight." An An was right. The group of people from the old Xu family came in a big way.
Outside, the whole courtyard was crowded with people and it was noisy. Obviously, these people were all from the Xu family, or all the aunts and uncles came together. Of course, Xu Chengcheng's younger brother also came.
And Xu Chengcheng's younger brother was not pushed to the front. Xu Chengcheng's younger brother was called Erbao. He was a little fat, just like a real little fat boy. He was reluctantly pushed out by his grandmother and walked in front of Li Jingyue.
I don't know why, when he saw his uncle, he was a little scared, his eyes dodged, and he didn't look directly at Li Jingyue.
Li Jingyue stared at Erbao indifferently. This child was the little son that his sister had been trying to see for three days. But where had his sister's beloved son gone during these three days? It
's not that he hadn't been to the Xu family before, wanting to find Erbao, but when he went there, the whole Xu family had hidden Erbao. He blocked the door of the Xu family for a whole day but couldn't see anyone, so he had to return empty-handed. After he went back, he told Li Jingying that he hadn't received any news about Erbao. Li Jingying was such a transparent person that she naturally understood that her beloved little son was unwilling to come, didn't want to come, and was even more afraid to see him for the last time.
In the end, Li Jingying was angry. She was angry that she had loved this ungrateful man for so many years. When his mother was dying, she was thinking about her youngest son, but her youngest son hid and didn't want to see her. Thinking about it, it was quite ironic.
Li Jingyue saw flames flashing in Erbao's eyes. Erbao thought about his mission, raised his head reluctantly, glanced at Li Jingyue secretly, and immediately lowered his head. He said in a mosquito-like voice, "Uncle, my mother...where is my mother?"
"I'll burn some incense for her!" The person is gone, what's the point of asking him to burn incense?
Li Jingyue raised his hand high, then put it down again. He gritted his teeth and said, "Get out! You are not worthy!"
Hearing his uncle scolding him, Erbao immediately raised his head, a little unconvinced, and said quickly, "No one is more worthy than me, I am my mother's son!"
Xu Chengcheng came out of the house and laughed angrily after hearing Erbao's words, "You are my mother's son? Where were you when my mother wanted to see you before she died? Where were you when something happened in our family? ", she stared at Erbao. How much Xu Chengcheng loved this brother in the past, how much she hated this brother now. She paused for a word, "Xu Erbao, aren't you afraid that your mother will turn into a ghost to find you?"
After all, Xu Erbao was still a child, about the same age as Jiang Jiang. When he heard his sister say that his mother would turn into a ghost to find him, he was immediately frightened, and the flesh on his face trembled. He stiffened his neck and defended, "No! Mom loves me the most."
"Do you still know that mom loves you the most?" Xu Chengcheng took a step forward, and with a "slap" sound, several finger marks appeared on Xu Erbao's face. "I slapped you on behalf of mom." After that, before everyone could react, she raised her hand again. Xu Erbao was stunned and wanted to dodge, but was held tightly by Xu Chengcheng. Her eyes were fierce, "This slap was given to myself."
"From now on, your name is Xu Erbao, and my name is Li Chengcheng. We have no connection anymore. Your life and death, your hunger and thirst, have nothing to do with our Li family." Xu Chengcheng knew better than anyone how greedy the Xu family was. When that bastard Xu Weibing was around, Xu Erbao was naturally a treasure in the Xu family.
Now that Xu Weibing has been imprisoned, the family property will soon be confiscated, and her mother is gone too. Xu Chengcheng doesn't believe that the selfish people in the Xu family would be willing to adopt Xu Erbao and treat him as a baby like before. They are probably dreaming.
Not to mention going to school, Xu Erbao
will even have trouble eating in the future. None of her uncles and aunts are worry-free.
As soon as Xu Chengcheng said this, Mrs. Xu, who had been hiding in the crowd, came out. Mrs. Xu had a pair of inverted triangle eyes that drooped, and the corners of her wrinkled lips were slightly bent down. An An's first reaction when she saw Mrs. Xu was that her appearance was a reflection of her heart. She looked like a mean old woman.
Sure enough, as An An expected, the old lady Xu came up and accused, "Xu Chengcheng, your surname is Xu? You are a child of our Xu family, who asked you to change your name??? You unfilial thing!" An An dared to use the word "thing" to describe her own granddaughter, and only the old lady in front of her would dare to do so. She silently sweated for Xu Chengcheng.
Hearing what Old Lady Xu said, Xu Chengcheng didn't even move her eyelids. She uttered a few words, "None of your business." She no longer cared about her reputation. She just wanted to make life difficult for Old Lady Xu's family. "Since you like Xu Erbao so much, he will follow you in the future. Our Li family doesn't want him."
Old Lady Xu was choked. "Erbao is the lifeblood of our Xu family. It is naturally impossible for him to follow you." Then she changed the subject, "But! The Li family is Erbao's maternal family, so we must have contacts." Old Lady Xu was calculating. Now that her son Xu Weibing was in jail, their Xu family would definitely go downhill in the future. But the Li family was different. It was said that the Li family had houses in the capital and a good status. Not to mention, that rag-and-bone Li Jingying had a capable younger brother.
Even though Old Lady Xu disliked Li Jingying, it was undeniable that among her daughters-in-law, Li Jingying's family was the most stubborn. This family relationship could not be severed. If something happened to the Xu family in the future, they would still count on the Li family to help!
Xu Chengcheng's mouth was bleeding. When she heard what Old Lady Xu said, she opened her mouth and spit out blood, which flew to Old Lady Xu's face. "Old thing, it's good that our Li family didn't settle accounts with you." Xu Chengcheng was completely exposed. She didn't care what people around her would think of her. In the eyes of outsiders, Old Lady Xu was not good, but she was still Xu Chengcheng's grandmother.
However, Xu Chengcheng felt that it was a pity to have such a grandmother.
