The little boy's milky cry softened the old lady's face.
The old lady knelt down and picked up her grandson, who was walking to her side.
But the look he looked at the girl still showed a bit of severity.
"What did you just say? Say it again."
"that……"
The girl was a little at a loss.
"Nanny, what did you just say?"
Grandma asked aloud, "Why did you make your grandma unhappy?"
"No."
The girl was very aggrieved and said, "I just introduced my friend to grandma."
"friend?"
Everyone subconsciously turned their heads and looked around.
Besides their family, is there anyone else in this cemetery?
"Where is your friend?"
After looking around and seeing no one, grandpa asked strangely.
The girl didn't think much and pointed to the tomb ghost in front of her, "It's right here."
"This is Ah Piao."
A smile appeared on the girl's face again.
…
Grandma's face turned even more ugly.
The expressions on other people's faces also became strange.
Ah Piao?
However, in their eyes, there was nothing where the girl was pointing.
"Nanny..."
Grandma opened her mouth to speak, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.
"...Nanny, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Grandpa asked, "I see you have been studying very hard during this period..."
"yes."
Grandpa answered, "I haven't seen you for a while, and my daughter seems to have lost weight again."
"Studying is important, but you are still young, so you should rest and have fun."
"Don't push yourself too hard."
…
Although the girl was a little touched by the elders' concern, greater doubts soon arose in her heart.
The girl doesn't quite understand.
Wasn't she just introducing her friends to them?
Why...the topic came to her studying hard?
She was about to speak, but was interrupted by a loud voice.
It's dad.
"I remembered!"
The man shouted with a look of astonishment on his face.
"What did you remember? What a fuss."
The grandma glared at the man slightly and said, "Be careful to scare the child."
The man touched the head of his son in the old man's arms comfortingly, and then looked at everyone, "I just felt that the name A'Piao was a bit familiar."
"But I can't remember it."
"I finally remembered it just now."
The man's face couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy as he finally came up with the answer after thinking for a long time, "Nanny has said the name A'Piao at home before."
"Didn't my daughter also make a small flower basket for each other?"
"Yeah?"
The old man is old and his memory is not very good.
Even if the man said this, they would not be able to recall it.
"Then have you seen that Ah Piao?"
grandma asked.
"No."
The man shook his head.
…
What's the meaning?
The girl became more and more confused.
Ah Piao...isn't it right here?
It doesn't matter if you haven't seen it before.
Now she introduced Ah Piao to them.
"Dad, grandpa, grandma, grandpa, grandma."
She shouted one after another, and the faint uneasiness that had arisen in her heart expanded a bit.
"Apiao is right here,"
"You... don't like Ah Piao?"
The girl opened her eyes wide, "Why...ignore A Piao?"
"Nanny..."
Grandma walked a few steps in, reached out and took the girl's hand, looked up and down, with a worried look on her face, "What's wrong with you?"
"Besides us, who else is there?"
"Isn't it stained with something dirty?"
Grandma took a step back while holding the little boy.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Grandpa was a little unhappy, "How old is this? It's still dirty?"
"Your thoughts also need to be renewed."
"Then what do you think happened to the child?"
Grandma said angrily, "Apiao? Where did you come from?"
"It's been like this before."
Thinking of what the man just said, the old lady murmured, "This child..."
"How come we haven't found it yet?"
Because the child's mother passed away, leaving behind a newborn baby and a child who is still in elementary school.
The child's father has to go to work to support the family, and his job has just been transferred to another place. It is a time when he is extremely busy, and he will definitely not be able to take care of the two children.
She and her husband moved here to help their son take care of the children.
It stands to reason that if they get along day and night, if something is wrong with their child, they should be able to find out as soon as possible...
…
"Apiao-"
"No Ah Piao!"
The girl's words were interrupted by her grandmother.
Grandma looked at the girl seriously.
My daughter died prematurely, leaving behind two children.
They also had the idea of helping their son-in-law take care of the children, but later they saw that their in-laws had already taken action, so they gave up their original plan.
Moreover, it is not appropriate for them to live in the son-in-law's house.
After all, their daughter is no longer here.
The son-in-law is still young and may get married later and form a new family.
Then their status would be embarrassing.
However, they always remembered their daughter's two children.
The love of the little grandson's mother is obvious.
She's not worried.
However, this granddaughter, she felt that she had become a little quieter.
But she was just a little worried.
She knew that the changes in her granddaughter should be related to the death of her biological mother.
The death of a mother has a huge impact on young children.
Although the child is still young, he has reached the age where he can understand what death means.
She thought that as time passed, the girl would recover.
There is no resurrection after death.
People who are alive should cherish the present moment.
However, she realized that maybe she was wrong.
The mother's death may have a greater impact on the child than she thought.
Has it reached the point of hallucinations?
…
The girl was frightened.
"But, but..."
From the corner of her eye, she glanced at Ah Piao, who had been sitting on the tombstone at some point.
Ah Piao... is obviously there?
Why does grandma say there is no A Piao?
Why……
She doesn't understand.
…
"Nanny, there is no Ah Piao."
Grandma emphasized again, with a solemn tone, "Do you understand?"
His eyebrows were filled with worry.
How could this child...have such a problem?
…
The girl opened her mouth, and under her grandmother's stern eyes full of worry and pleading, she nodded slightly.
"……Um."
The old man breathed a sigh of relief, and then warned again worriedly, "Nanny, remember, there is no Ah Piao."
"Don't tell anyone about Ah Piao."
"Do you understand?"
Seeing the girl's confused look, the old man held the girl's shoulders with both hands and emphasized solemnly.
"Do you understand?"
The girl glanced at the tomb ghost again.
Then he looked at grandma.
The old man's expression made her a little worried.
She nodded hesitantly.
"......I see."
"Good boy."
The old man touched the girl's head.
Everyone else also had smiles on their faces.
Only...the girl's expression was a little out of place.
