I was knocked unconscious during the college entrance exam, but when I woke up, I was a literary lea

Chapter 98 Regretful? Why didn't you think of that sooner!

"After listening to what Granny Liu said, I remained silent for a long time."

"Grandma Liu isn't as naive as Da Bao, so naturally she wouldn't think she's really homeless."

"But Grandma Liu still told me that I could stay and go back whenever I wanted to."

"They didn't press me further, nor did they coldly drive me away. Even though they themselves often went hungry and cold, they were still willing to accept me."

"I looked at Grandma Liu. Although her face was expressionless, I could see a hint of tenderness in her eyes."

"To be honest, after my grandmother passed away, apart from my great-grandmother, Grandma Liu was the only person who cared about me."

"I used to see stories online about people suddenly breaking down because of the concern shown by strangers. I didn't understand it then. Now I do."

……

Seeing this.

Everyone shared the same sentiment.

In fact, people can be very strong.

Jiang Ye once saw a food delivery driver who got into a car accident because he was in a hurry to deliver an order.

He broke his bones, and even his leg bone was exposed!

Just then, the deliveryman's phone rang; it was probably his mother calling.

Despite the pain, the delivery driver chatted and laughed with his mother, saying that he was doing very well.

The medical staff who were bandaging the paramedics all kept their heads down and didn't say a word.

……

At the same time, people can also be very vulnerable.

Jiang Ye also saw a burly man cry like a child because of a comforting word from an old lady.

The concern shown by strangers is untainted by any ulterior motives.

Their concern right now stems from genuine care and worry for you.

And it is this genuine emotion that is most touching.

……

Everyone continued reading the diary.

"I took the mung bean porridge from Grandma Liu and drank it down in big gulps! I've only eaten one rice ball since last night, and I'm starving."

"Grandma Liu didn't say anything. She just sat next to me and watched me silently. After I finished eating, she took the bowl away and then brought me another bowl."

"I was a little embarrassed, but I was so hungry that I couldn't resist eating another bowl."

"After eating three bowls in one go, I was finally full."

"After Grandma Liu took the bowl, she went out. I felt embarrassed to stay in the room any longer, so I decided to go and see if there was anything I could do to help."

"I went into the kitchen, which was a very dilapidated little house. It wasn't connected to Grandma Liu's house, and the roof was leaking. However, it was one of the few houses in the neighborhood that was barely habitable."

I glanced furtively at the rice jar; there was hardly any rice left.

"The kitchen has no other facilities, just a stove."

……

After Grandma Liu finished washing the dishes, she noticed I had arrived. She turned around and asked me with concern, "Aren't you full yet?"

I shook my head repeatedly: "No, no, I'm full."

Grandma Liu nodded and didn't say anything more.

I struck up a conversation with Grandma Liu.

"Grandma Liu didn't like to talk, her face was expressionless, and her tone of voice revealed no joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness. Later I learned that Grandma Liu wasn't a cold person; she just couldn't express her emotions. Normal people can express joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, but Grandma Liu couldn't. In medicine, this has a professional term called 'alexithymia,' which can occur when a person experiences significant trauma."

"I talked with Grandma Liu for a long time before I understood her background and situation."

"Grandma Liu is not from Jiangzhou. Her husband passed away a long time ago, and she made a living in Jiangzhou by raising her intellectually disabled son alone."

"Life was poor, but fulfilling."

"But one day, when Grandma Liu was selling vegetables, her son prepared a meal at home and wanted to bring it to her. However, he was in a car accident on the way and was killed on the spot."

"After a series of major misfortunes, Granny Liu fell seriously ill. Fortunately, the King of Hell was kind and did not take her life. However, from then on, Granny Liu suffered from alexithymia and could no longer express her emotions. Whether it was joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness, Granny Liu could no longer express them."

……

Hear this.

Everyone present couldn't help but sigh.

A rope always breaks at its thinnest point, and misfortune always befalls the unfortunate.

Grandma Liu's life was truly filled with hardship.

In a short period of time, she lost her husband and son in quick succession.

Furthermore, he has been diagnosed with alexithymia.

Jiang Ye said that "King Yama" didn't take Granny Liu away because he was kind-hearted.

However, people did not consider this to be "kind-hearted".

Isn't it cruel to leave an elderly woman who has lost all her family to live alone?

……

Everyone felt a tightness in their chest.

But I still kept watching.

Wang Chuan looked at the diary, his brows furrowed slightly, and he seemed to be deep in thought.

"Grandma Liu said she receives a minimum living allowance of over 600 yuan a month. She also has a house in her hometown, and if she went back, at least she wouldn't have to work so hard."

I asked her curiously, "Then why don't you go back?"

Grandma Liu shook her head: "Jianjun (Grandma Liu's son) is mentally challenged. He was hit and killed here. If I go back to the countryside, he won't be able to find me. He'll become a lonely ghost in Jiangzhou. I thought I'd wait here until I die, so I can see Jianjun and take him home together."

"After hearing what Granny Liu said, I stood there frozen in place."

"Grandma Liu refused to leave, not for any other reason than that she was afraid her son's spirit wouldn't be able to find her."

"Let's not even talk about whether ghosts and gods actually exist in this world."

"But Grandma Liu's love for her son really moved me."

Even if my son is no longer alive, even if the talk of ghosts and gods may be absurd.

"But Grandma Liu is willing to gamble and wait for the rest of her life!!"

"This love has deeply moved me!"

"Only now do I truly believe that parents love their children so much that they can give up everything."

Thinking about it, I lowered my head and smiled bitterly.

"Where are my parents?"

"Grandma Liu's son is no longer alive, yet she's still willing to wait. But what about my parents? I've been away from home for so long, and I haven't received a single phone call from them. I'm afraid they wouldn't even care if I were hit by a car and died."

"Fine!"

"Anyway, I've seen through the Jiang family long ago, I've seen through Jiang's father and mother."

Whether they look for me or care about me, I no longer care.

"When I come of age, I will leave the Jiang family forever, leave this place of trouble, and leave my biased father and mother."

……

Seeing this.

Li Yan suddenly lost control of her emotions!

Her heart was pierced.

Yes.

Grandma Liu was able to wait so long for her son who had passed away.

And what about yourself?

Jiang Ye had been away from home for so many days, and he hadn't even made a single phone call to her.
