Chapter 670: I was heartbroken when I learned that my grandma was sick
After attending the Bai family's wedding, Xiaomai couldn't wait to see her family. She pulled her uncle to stick to Lu Haotian and Youyou, "Brother, sister-in-law, where do my parents and grandma live? Take me to see them, why didn't they come to our house?"
"Don't worry, I'll take you to see them later, but you've been busy all day, can you take a rest for a while?" He Lingting said in a low voice.
"I've been either sitting or eating today, so I'm not tired! Let's go! Let's go now. My brother and the others are going back too, so let's go together." Xiaomai said.
Finally, He Lingting couldn't persuade her and had to take her there, but he was still uneasy. He was worried that the little girl would get overly excited once she knew her grandmother was sick.
"Okay then! But you have to be obedient." He Lingting looked at the little girl gently and said.
"Yes, I promise not to run or jump, and I will listen to my husband in everything." Xiaomai promised.
Lu Haotian and Youyou were listening to this and felt a little uneasy. Haotian looked at He Lingting, who gave him an affirmative look. Then he said, "Let's go! They miss you so much, too. If there weren't so many things going on at home recently, they would have come to see you a long time ago."
Then the four of them drove two cars straight to the suburban courtyard...
Xiaomai sat in the car, feeling extremely excited. She looked at the scenery outside the window with a smile on her face.
"Hey! This is the way to the courtyard! Could it be that grandma is missing home and has returned to live in the courtyard?" Xiaomai asked puzzledly, looking at the familiar scenery outside the window.
"Yeah." He Lingting's affirmative answer aroused Xiaomai's suspicion, so she asked again: "You knew they were coming a long time ago, right? Why didn't I know? Husband, what else are you hiding from me? Tell me the truth."
"I didn't mean to hide it from you, I just didn't know how to tell you?" He Lingting said innocently.
"Then what is there that you don't know how to say? Is there really something you are hiding from me?" Xiaomai asked again.
"Baby, you have to promise me first that no matter what happens, don't get excited." He Lingting said seriously.
"Okay, okay, just tell me! Don't waste time, you're driving me crazy." Xiaomai urged the uncle. He suddenly felt that the uncle was a little serious.
He Liting felt that they were already on the way, and grandma's illness could not be concealed after all. Besides, he took Xiaomai to the hospital for a check-up a few days ago, and everything was stable, so he decided to tell the girl!
He Lingting was silent for a moment, then suddenly stopped the car on the side of the road, turned around, put his arm around Xiaomai, and said with a sigh, "Grandma is sick."
Xiaomai was stunned by the uncle's mysterious behavior at first. Why did this man hug her when they were halfway there? Then she heard the sound coming from the man's chest. Her face suddenly sank and turned slightly pale. She suddenly raised her head and asked seriously, "Is it serious?"
He Lingting looked at the little person in his arms, stroked her hair lovingly and said, "Baby, grandma is already so old. People are very insignificant in nature. Your husband hopes that you can be more open-minded about everything. Let's do our best to treat grandma, okay?"
He Lingting talked about other things and didn't directly answer Xiaomai's question. However, Xiaomai guessed most of what the uncle said. Her tears immediately flowed down and she asked with a nasal voice, "When did it happen? When did you know?"
"I don't know the details. I only found out about it a week ago." He Lingting said while wiping the tears from Xiaomai's face.
"No wonder they want to live in the small courtyard. I'm afraid grandma wants to return to her hometown! Come on, uncle, take me there quickly. She must miss me the most now!" Xiaomai said, and her tears couldn't stop flowing. She hurriedly urged the uncle.
"Baby, listen to me. You promised me. Besides, grandma will be angry if she sees you like this." He Lingting persuaded.
"My husband, I understand everything, but I just can't control myself! That's my grandma who I depend on for life! Why is my grandma's life so miserable?" Xiaomai complained.
"Baby, I understand, but your health is more important now, and grandma is still here." He Liting said.
"Well, yes, maybe Bai Chen can do it." Xiaomai said, then she wiped away her tears and said.
"You're so good. Grandma still needs your encouragement." He Lingting hugged Xiaomai and praised her lovingly.
"Well, husband, I want to see grandma." Xiaomai said after sniffing.
"Okay, I'll take you there right away." Then He Lingting restarted the car and drove straight to the suburban courtyard. At this time, Xiaomai was in a heavy and panicked mood...
When He Lingting parked the car on the side of the road, Haotian and Youyou drove for a while in front and found that Xiaomai and the others had not caught up yet, so they also parked the car on the side of the road and waited for the two.
"Honey, where is their car?" Youyou asked in confusion when she didn't see Xiaomai and their car in the rearview mirror.
"My little sister probably didn't know about grandma before! Ting just told her." Haotian said.
"Oh! It's hard for He Lingting. Xiaomai must be feeling very uncomfortable! How about this, let's wait for them here for a while! We can still help if anything happens." Youyou said worriedly. Xiaomai has always valued feelings, not to mention Grandma Jiang, which was simply going to dig out her heart.
"Yeah, that's what I thought." Haotian replied, and the two of them waited for Xiaomai and their car on the roadside with nervousness.
After a long time, He Lingting drove up and caught up. Youyou and Haotian breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Xiaomai had accepted it. Then the two luxury cars continued to drive towards the courtyard.
After arriving at the courtyard, everyone got off the car, leaving Xiaomai alone. She patted her tense face, forced a smile, got out of the car, took the uncle's arm and walked into the courtyard.
She hadn't been here for a long time, but it was still clean and tidy, as if someone had always lived here. She guessed that the uncle must have had people clean it every day! So she looked at the man next to her gratefully and said in a voice that both of them could hear: "Thank you, husband."
He Lingting patted Xiaomai's arm and said, "Silly girl, it's my duty."
As soon as the four people entered the yard, Mr. and Mrs. Lu saw them and came out to greet them.
"Youyou, you're back. Why are Xiaomai and Xiaoting following you?" said Lu's mother.
After Xiaomai greeted her parents, she jokingly said, "Mom, you are so mean. You didn't even tell me that you were coming to Suzhou. How come I, your daughter, am not welcomed now that you have a daughter-in-law?"
"Silly girl, what are you talking about? Mom is afraid of disturbing your pregnancy." Mother Lu said embarrassedly. In fact, they were worried that Xiaomai would find it difficult to accept what happened to her grandmother.
"Then aren't you afraid of affecting your sister-in-law's pregnancy?" Xiaomai said mischievously.
"How can it be the same? Youyou is a doctor herself, she knows the limits." said Lu's mother.
"Okay, Meng'er, let's not stand here anymore. Both of your bellies are big. Let them come into the house and sit down and talk!" said Father Lu.
Just as everyone was about to turn around and go back into the house, Grandma Jiang's voice came from the door, "Xiaomi, you're back. Come on, let grandma see if you've gained weight recently."
After hearing this, everyone hurried over. Xiaomai looked at her grandmother who had lost a lot of weight, and her heart ached again. She suppressed the sobs in her throat, quickly threw herself into her grandmother's arms and said, "Grandma, I miss you so much!"
