Inside the room, there was a cough, accompanied by an old voice asking questions.
"Who is it?"
"Master, it's me!"
Cui Xiaoyu lowered her voice very low.
I was afraid that someone passing by here might hear it accidentally.
"Ahem, here it comes!"
The man coughed dryly a few times and then rustled towards the door.
After a moment, there was a creaking sound and the wooden door opened a crack.
Inside the door stood an old man who was about sixty years old.
Old Master Jiang really wanted to ask, why did you come here in broad daylight?
But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back into his throat.
Seeing Cui Xiaoyu sweating profusely from exhaustion, he really couldn't bring himself to ask this question.
Maybe the child has an emergency?
Thinking this in his mind, he stuck his head out and looked left and right outside the door. When he didn't see anyone, he opened the wooden door.
"Come in first, let's talk inside!"
"Old man, who's that outside?"
The old woman in the house only heard voices but didn't see anyone.
In a hurry, he shouted.
“Thank you, Master!”
Cui Xiaoyu forced a smile and followed Mr. Jiang into the house.
"Look, who is this?"
After closing the wooden door, Mr. Jiang asked with a smile.
"It's Xiaoyu. The old man and I were just talking about you!"
At the edge of the bed, Grandma Xie was holding an old piece of clothing with many patches on it, mending it stitch by stitch.
Life in the countryside is really too poor.
Ever since these old guys were demoted to lower levels, their lives have been getting worse day by day!
They couldn't eat well, couldn't wear warm clothes, and all relatives who could have severed ties did so.
For those who have not severed ties with their families, the things that are mailed to them will most likely end up in other people's stomachs.
There is no place to seek redress for grievances, and no ability to resist them.
I can only watch helplessly as I am bullied.
The days go by one by one, and I don’t know when it will end.
Three years or five years, ten years or eight or nine years?
They don’t know either!
Perhaps in this lifetime, they will not live to see the day of returning to the city, and they will all be old.
Right now, most people still have a glimmer of hope in their hearts!
So, take your last breath.
"Thank you, grandma. Are you tired? Let me help you sew!"
As he spoke, Cui Xiaoyu put down the basket on his back and was about to take the clothes from Grandma Xie's hand.
"Good boy, no need, grandma can do it herself!"
She is old, but she has been doing these handicrafts all her life and knows how to sew with her eyes closed.
Besides, Xiaoyu is already tired enough.
She wouldn't bother Xiaoyu.
"Come, sit here and rest for a while. You're all sweaty from running. Are you tired?"
This child is also a miserable person.
My parents are both gone, and I live with my uncle's family. I don't have enough to eat, I don't have warm clothes, and there is always endless work to do every day.
Cui Xiaoyu was rejected and didn't say anything.
He walked silently towards Grandma Xie and sat down next to her.
Seeing her lowering her head and not speaking, the two elderly men, who were very experienced in their age, felt that something was wrong.
In the past, this girl would come secretly at night.
This is the first time she comes here in broad daylight!
"Xiaoyu, are you worried?"
Grandma Xie spoke first.
It would be more appropriate for her to ask about girls' matters.
The old man is a grown man and certainly cannot understand the little girl's heart.
So, it’s better for her to take action.
"I….."
When she heard her grandmother ask this, the lines she had prepared before were suddenly stuck.
She hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to say.
After all, no matter how you look at it, this is still harming others.
I wonder if Master and Grandma will reject her?
"Child, if you encounter difficulties, you must tell me. If you can help, your master and I will definitely help!"
Like a family member, Grandma Xie encouraged her gently.
She stopped what she was doing for a moment, took Cui Xiaoyu's hand, and gently stroked it, giving her strength and courage.
Cui Xiaoyu choked up for a moment.
She couldn't hold back her tears and they burst out.
She has never seen her father and mother since she was a child.
I have never tasted what family love tastes like.
In my memory, her daily life was filled with endless work.
If you don't do your job well, you will face being beaten.
Without enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear, life is like hell and extremely painful.
For the first time, she felt the word family love from a stranger.
She wanted to catch it very much, fearing that everything before her was just a flash in the pan and would slip away if she was not careful.
"Child, don't cry!"
Grandma Xie stretched out a hand and gently wiped away the tears from her face.
"grandmother!"
Cui Xiaoyu finally collapsed!
She threw herself into Grandma Xie's arms and burst into tears.
“Wuwuwu…”
The more she cried, the sadder she became, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances she had suffered.
Grandma Xie patted her back gently to comfort her.
Old man Jiang, who came in later, couldn't help but frown.
This child must have suffered a great injustice!
Otherwise, I wouldn’t cry so sadly!
The two old men didn't say anything, but just listened to her crying silently.
After she had cried enough, she withdrew from Grandma Xie's arms a little embarrassedly.
"Thank you, Grandma. I'm sorry for getting your clothes wet!"
