Chapter 41 The Old Lady Who Is Not Very Well
"I think you should give up this idea. When your daughter came back that day, you spoke to Xia Xia so awkwardly and politely, and even asked her to call you Aunt Song from now on. Do you think the child would not have any thoughts?" Huo Jinyan began to analyze the problem rationally.
Song Ning couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this.
"In fact, I was also irritated by the way she spoke that day. Knowing that Yaoyao had returned from the countryside, she deliberately emphasized this matter in front of her. If an outsider heard that, I'm afraid they would look down on Yaoyao. Do you think if I spoke in a less harsh way, would Yaoyao feel better?"
After a pause, she continued, "Xia Xia was also raised by us since she was a child. Although this incident of wrong child happened, I always treat her as my own child. Seeing her feel wronged and upset, don't I feel bad in my heart?"
Although both her palms and the back of her hands are made of flesh and blood, she cannot deny that when it comes to choosing between her biological daughter and the adopted daughter who was taken away by mistake, she cares more about her biological daughter's feelings. This is the blood relationship.
What's more, having raised Lu Xia for seventeen years, she had never suffered any injustice in the Huo family. On the contrary, her own daughter, nominally grew up in a wealthy family, but in reality, was abandoned by the cruel couple of the Lu family and raised in a remote small county.
Although her grandmother was really good to her by raising her daughter from childhood, her daughter's childhood must have been very lonely due to the difficult growing environment and being a left-behind child.
Whenever she thought of this, Song Ning's heart ached. Now that her daughter is back, she just wants to do her best to make up for the missing seventeen years.
Huo Jinyan watched his wife fall into self-blame again, and couldn't help but put his arm around her shoulders, comforting her: "Yaoyao is a very well-behaved child. No one would dislike her, including the eldest brother."

This weekend, Huo Yao bought some things and went to see Yang Qiuhua.
She lives in a senior apartment in the city. The community environment is very good, there are no schools or large shopping malls nearby, it is very quiet and quite suitable for elderly people to live in.
Although He Xiaoman is mean, petty and pretentious, she is nice to her own mother.
Huo Yao called Yang Qiuhua before coming, so the door opened shortly after she rang the doorbell.
When Yang Qiuhua saw her granddaughter, her eyes turned red and she quickly pulled Huo Yao into the house.
The house is not small and the decoration is very good. Although it is fully equipped with all kinds of furniture and appliances, it somehow gives people a very deserted feeling.
Huo Yao raised his eyes and glanced around before looking away. He saw the old lady trying to get some fruit and pour water from a cup. She looked as uneasy and flustered as a child.
"Grandma, please stop busying yourself. Sit down and let's have a good talk."
Huo Yao pulled him to sit on the sofa.
Yang Qiuhua kept her eyes on Huo Yao's face. After a while, she said, "You don't look thinner. It seems that your biological parents treat you well."
"Well, they originally said they wanted to come and visit you, but I was afraid of disturbing you, so I postponed it." Huo Yao smiled.
"Let's do it another day. Invite them to our house another day. Today, we can just have a good reunion as grandma and grandson." Yang Qiuhua's wrinkled face was full of joy, but her lower eyelids were bluish-gray, so she didn't look very mentally well.
Huo Yao reached out and held the old lady's hand, his fingertips casually resting on her wrist, and asked casually, "Didn't you get enough rest recently?"
"No, I had a good rest." Yang Qiuhua said hurriedly, as if afraid that she would worry.
In fact, she has been suffering from insomnia almost all night since she came here.
Huo Yao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did you take the medicine on time?"
