"Xiaoyun, are you tired from work recently?" The old lady thought about it for a long time, then spoke angrily and asked Yang Yun with concern.
Yang Yun was reading a thick literary work. When she heard the words of the old lady on the hospital bed, she moved her eyes away from the book, adjusted her glasses, and looked at the old lady, "Mom, you're not tired."
"Where's Xiaoye, is he still in school?" She asked her grandson again,
"He is taking an exam today, and he will come over to see you tomorrow, Saturday."
After Yang Yun finished speaking, she asked, "Mom, do you want some water?"
The old lady shook her head, "I'm not thirsty."
"Oh, then you lie down and rest. If you need anything, just tell me. I'm here."
After Yang Yun finished speaking, she began to read her book attentively. .??.??
The old lady knew that although her daughter-in-law was polite and respectful to her, she was still very distant.
She has been like this for so many years, neither hot nor cold.
I don't quarrel with her, I just try to avoid her.
The old lady felt very uncomfortable and couldn't sleep anymore. She said again, "Xiaoyun, can you chat with me for a while?"
After hearing what the old lady said, Yang Yun put down the book in her hand.
She looked serious as usual, "Mom, what do you want to say?"
She and the old lady were the only two people in the hospital at the moment. She could only cooperate with the old lady and ask.
If the old lady was at home and she was in good health, and she asked to chat with Yang Yun, Yang Yun would only tell her that she was very busy.
She didn't want to talk to the old lady.
Because she didn't agree with, or even couldn't stand, the old lady's way of handling many things.
The old lady looked weak, looked at Yang Yun, and sighed, "Don't you all hate me as an old lady?"
Hearing this, Yang Yun adjusted her glasses again, and a rare hint of surprise appeared on her usually serious face.
She asked, "Mom, why did you say that?"
"Actually, I know that you all don't like me, but you are all very sensible. Because I am the elder, you have tolerated me for so many years."
The old lady said slowly, "Especially the eldest couple, they have not been in contact with each other for so many years. They all hate me in their hearts. Even the daughter of the eldest family did not take the initiative to show up in front of me, the old lady, after she recognized her home."
, they never called me grandma, I know they have no feelings for me."
But last night, Tang Min and Tang Liye showed up because she was injured.
Send her to the hospital and take care of her...
After all, the bones and tendons were broken.
The old lady felt a sense of shame in her heart.
Back then, when Molly gave birth to a child, she didn't take care of her because she was angry.
That's why their children were taken away.
When a woman needs her mother-in-law's care most, she is absent.
Now she is old.
They need to be taken care of.
They did not choose to ignore her, and showed up immediately when she was injured.
It can be regarded as the most benevolent and righteous.
What else does she hate about them?
A person who is half buried in the earth, and his life is not as lively and transparent as his younger generation.
"Mom, why did you suddenly mention big brother and sister-in-law?" This was the first time the old lady took the initiative to mention Tang Liye and Molly.
In the past, every time Tang Jianye complained that the old lady was ignorant, the old lady would make all kinds of nonsense and then have a quarrel with Tang Jianye.
Yang Yun heard Tang Jingyue tell her in the morning that her uncle and aunt came to the hospital last night, and her uncle stayed until dawn before leaving.
Could it be that... the old lady was moved?
Yang Yun looked at the old lady with inquiring eyes.
She didn't quite believe that this old lady could be moved by others.
"Actually, what Jianye said is quite right. I was also responsible for what happened back then, but I couldn't face myself, so I blamed all my mistakes on the boss. Over the years, I have been unwilling to face myself.
It was my fault that I never interacted with them, and I didn’t want to see him. I was afraid that when I saw him, I would think of Jiang Sen in prison, and I would feel uncomfortable.”
The old lady rarely revealed her true feelings.
Hearing what the old lady said, Yang Yun was really shocked. She said in a serious tone, "Mom, brother was right about what happened back then. No matter why you hate him and cut off relations with him, we all respect him, and
I very much support his approach. You are the mother of Jianye and the grandmother of my two children. As your daughter-in-law, I cannot influence your thoughts and I will not make any comments on your behavior."
She just needs to fulfill her due responsibilities as a daughter-in-law. ??
She had long since given up arguing with this stubborn and selfish old lady or trying to change her mind.
Back then, she also tried hard, hoping to ease the relationship between the old lady and her elder brother and sister-in-law.
But the old lady was slandering people randomly and scolding her for being nosy and unable to maintain her position.
From then on, Yang Yun gave up communicating with her.
"I know, but I just can't face them, let alone my dead parents, eldest brother and sister-in-law."
When the old lady said this, she started to cry.
She really thought she was going to die last night. At that moment, she felt a lot of regrets and unfulfilled wishes.
She thought of the boss and his wife, of Jiang Sen in prison, and even of her relatives under the Nine Springs.
.
She really had to face the fact that her life was a failure.
In the eyes of outsiders, she has two promising sons and a bunch of grandchildren, and is a very blessed person.
But only she herself knows how much of a failure she has been in her life.
The second child, Jianye, has a good character and good temper, and is very filial to her, but he never forgives others. He said that he is filial to her because he is her son, but he does not agree with her actions.
.
Everyone respects her superficially just because she is an old man.
They just let her go out of the most basic respect for the elderly and love for the young.
The old lady felt very sad, but she valued her own face more than anything else, so she had never been willing to admit that she was wrong.
She has never admitted her fault to anyone in her life. When the old man was alive, he would let her do everything and put her at the center.
Now she was asked to confess to a bunch of juniors, which she couldn't do.
When Yang Yun saw that the old lady actually started crying, she frowned slightly and said, "Mom, don't get too excited and take good care of your health."
Yang Yun was not willing to discuss the issue of who was right and wrong with the old lady at all, and there was no way to talk today. The old lady wanted to tell Yang Yun her feelings, and hoped that Yang Yun could enlighten her and comfort her, but Yang Yun simply refused to answer her question.
Chatter.
The old lady sobbed twice and lay on the bed again, staring blankly at the ceiling of the ward.
After Aunt Wang brought dinner, Yang Yun accompanied the old lady to eat in the hospital. Yang Yun asked Aunt Wang to go home and she would stay with her in bed tonight.
Tang Jianye was not here. If she didn't accompany her, her daughter Jingyue would have to accompany her and let the nanny watch over her. They were worried and couldn't justify it.
Tang Liye came to the hospital again in the evening. He did not enter the ward, but stood in the corridor outside the ward.
