Chapter 160 Grandma Dou...
Chapter 160 Grandma Dou...
Ah Yun? Could it be that she knows Ze Ge'er's mother?
Xia Mo looked at the thin old woman with white hair who excitedly grabbed his hand, and his eyes paused for a moment.
"Grandma, who are you?"
"She is Granny Dou who came to look for your mother. After learning that your mother had passed away many years ago, she went to the Liu family and scolded Liu Dazhi and Granny Liu to the point of utter bloodshed."
Qi spoke for the old woman, and then looked at Grandma Dou who was staring at Xia Mo in a daze.
"Grandma, he is Aunt Yun's son, Ze Ge'er, the person you are looking for. And the person next to him is his husband, Ling Chuan."
Grandma Dou got a positive answer, and her eyes, which had been looking at Xia Mo, suddenly surged with love and pity. This child's eyes and nose looked very much like Ayun's...
"Good boy, let grandma see... Well, you're so white and clean. Your mother can finally rest in peace in her netherworld." Grandma Dou looked at him carefully for a long time and choked up.
The young man's eyes were clear and bright, without a trace of depression, his cheeks were rosy with blood, and he looked energetic, without any sign of having been treated harshly. Just as Qi and the others said, he was living a good life now.
The one who brought him salvation was the taciturn hunter beside him.
Thinking of this, Granny Dou turned her head and looked at Ling Chuan, who was tall and burly with a dignified air.
The man had a resolute face and sharp eyes, and looked a little fierce, but she knew that he had done a lot for Ze Ge'er and was a kind-hearted child.
Now that she had seen the real person, Grandma Dou's last bit of worry was quietly put down.
But when she thought about Ayun's miserable life and the fact that her only child had suffered in the Liu family for more than ten years, and the incidents she learned from others, Grandma Dou couldn't help but feel tears rising in her eyes.
A mixture of sadness and joy, a mixture of all kinds of emotions.
She lowered her head slightly, wiped her tears with one hand, and still held Xia Mo's hand tightly with the other.
"Grandma, don't be sad. Although my mother is gone, she would be very happy if she knew that you still miss her."
Xia Mo gazed at Granny Dou, whose eyes were filled with sincere emotion, and stopped asking her about the relationship between her and Ze Ge'er's mother, then patted the back of her hand.
Granny Dou first said "hmm", clenched her hands twice before silently withdrawing them, then chuckled and shook her head, "Grandma is not sad. Seeing you are doing well, Grandma is happy for your mother. When she was alive, you were the one she cared about the most."
Xia Mo's mood suddenly became heavy after hearing this. After a moment of silence, he forced a smile and responded, "I know, so I will be fine."
Yes, he was the only one who knew that he was not the Ze Ge'er mentioned by Grandma Dou, nor was he the person that Ze Ge'er's mother cared about the most. Even though Ze Ge'er had said goodbye to him, he still felt that he owed him.
This is an unsolvable problem, very contradictory, but not conflicting, because he wants to live, more than when he first came into this world, because the people he cares about...
The emotions that were difficult to express gathered in his eyes, hidden by Xia Mo under his thick eyelashes, and disappeared in an instant.
He thought he had hidden it well, but he didn't know that someone had already seen it all.
Ling Chuan narrowed his deep black eyes, pursed his thin lips, and stretched out his broad palm to the fair and cold little hand and held it.
The back of Xia Mo's hand suddenly felt warm, and his fingertips couldn't help but curl up. He subconsciously raised his eyes to look at the man, and bumped into the other's deep eyes that seemed to be able to tolerate everything about him. His depressed, irritable and depressed heart seemed to be soothed and instantly calmed down.
When their eyes met, Xia Mo suddenly had an epiphany.
Maybe this person had discovered something. Maybe he had been waiting for me...
Xia Mo's heart trembled slightly. She gently stroked the man's hand and smiled at him.
Ling Chuan saw the little boy smile, brushing away the gloom, and his slightly frowned brows relaxed, so he turned his eyes to look at Qi and Grandma Dou: "It's not convenient to chat here, why don't we go inside and talk?"
"Yes, yes, yes. Let's go inside and sit down first. We can talk slowly after we sit down." Qi agreed with a smile.
Grandma Dou had no objection, and Xia Mo had even less objection.
Since the other party is acquainted with Ze Ge'er's mother, she will more or less know something about Ze Ge'er's mother. In this way, he may be able to find out something from it and then unravel the doubts brought about by the indenture.
The three of them were invited by Qi to sit in the inner room. Each of them was given a bowl of warm water, and the persimmon biscuits that Xia Mo brought were placed on the table for everyone to eat together.
Granny Dou thanked him, but obviously had no intention of eating. Her eyes were always fixed on Xia Mo's profile.
Xia Mo felt a little uncomfortable after being stared at by her for a long time, so he curled up the corners of his mouth and smiled at her, saying, "Grandma, have you and my mother known each other for a long time?"
Grandma Dou sighed deeply upon hearing this. She also knew that Ze Ge'er lost his mother at a young age, so she continued, "Ayun is not from Qinghe County. She came here alone and suffers from an eye disease."
"What, my mother was once blind?" Xia Mo was surprised. This was a situation he had never thought of.
Granny Dou nodded: "That's right. At that time, my husband and I opened a clinic in the city. She came to seek medical treatment, but her symptoms were strange. After a few visits, we became familiar with each other."
She seemed to be lost in her memories, and then she recounted Liu Yun's past events, which were similar to what Li Jingran had investigated, and Qi sighed.
Everyone in Liujia Village knew that Ze Ge'er's mother was brought back by Liu Dazhi, and that she was a very kind-hearted girl. However, they never knew that there was such a story. Liu Dazhi was really a piece of shit.
"Aunt Yun is such a good person, how could she fall for..." Qi was filled with indignation.
However, she suddenly stopped talking halfway because she suddenly remembered that although Liu Dazhi was no longer related to Ze Ge'er, he was still his biological father by blood.
So she looked at Xia Mo with a little embarrassment, and Xia Mo smiled faintly when he saw this.
"Sister-in-law, you don't have to be shy about me. I have severed all ties with him. I have already repaid the life I owed him. It is only now that I realize how heartless this man is."
After saying this, he slightly lowered his eyelids, deliberately hiding the deep meaning in his eyes. He looked like he had clearly suffered a lot of injustice, but was trying hard to appear relieved.
This made Grandma Dou, who was already angry with Liu Dazhi, even more angry, and two flames suddenly burst out of her kind eyes.
"Liu Dazhi is such a bastard! If it weren't for Ayun helping him, he and his gambling father would have been sold to some remote place as slaves by the gambling house. How could they have such a good life today?!"
After scolding Liu Dazhi, Granny Dou looked at Xia Mo, who looked a bit like Liu Yun, and sighed helplessly, "If only your mother had been willing to go with us."
She really treated Liu Yun as her own daughter, so how could she bear to let her jump into a tiger pit?
"I have advised your mother before. Even if Liu Dazhi pretended to be a decent and honest person, how could he live a comfortable life with such parents at home?"
"My mother doesn't care about these." Xia Mo stared and said softly.
"Yes, she doesn't want to. I'm an experienced person. My family runs a clinic. What kind of patients have I not seen? But your mother always smiles and says it's okay, saying that Liujia Village is her home."
Xia Mo's eyes moved when he heard this. For some reason, he always felt that the last sentence was a bit strange. Why did Ze Ge'er's mother say that Liujia Village was her home? Was Grandma Dou sure she was right?
The old mystery has not been solved, and new doubts have arisen. Combined with the indenture in his hand, it seems that things are far more complicated than he thought.
"Why did my mother say that? Liujia Village is her final destination? Could it be that my grandpa's family used to be from Liujia? And then they moved out of the village?" Xia Mo asked.
"No, I also thought that your mother was too quick-witted and made a slip of the tongue." Grandma Dou smiled and her eyes had several wrinkles because of the smile.
"I usually like to nag, but when my children were not around, I directed all my nagging to your mother, so she said this countless times. Later, I asked her why she said this, and she told me it was a feeling."
At the end of her speech, the smile on Grandma Dou's lips gradually became bitter.
Oh, silly girl, I feel wrong...
