Reborn back to the time before I sold my blood to support my scumbag boyfriend's college educat

After Zhou Wenbin finished examining Grandma Xia, he told everyone that she was fine. But as he stepped out of the ward, his eyes welled up with tears. Pei Shizhou noticed his uncle's expression and quickly followed him out.

"uncle"

"Go to my office and tell them to call Zhiheng and Xiaochu over."

Pei Shizhou nodded solemnly and went back to the ward to call Xia Yichu and Xia Zhiheng away. Luo Hao saw them leave and quietly followed them.

Uncle Luo

Pei Shizhou saw Luo Hao come out with them and turned around to call out to him.

"Shizhou, does your uncle have something to say?"

"Yes"

Upon hearing Pei Shizhou's answer, Luo Hao knew what was going on, and tears instantly blurred his vision. Xia Yichu and Xia Zhiheng exchanged a glance, their expressions both grim. The rest of the way, no one spoke.

As soon as he entered Zhou Wenbin's office, Zhou Wenbin said, "Zhiheng, hurry up and call your uncle back. Your grandmother is coming in the next couple of days. You'd better get him here quickly, or I'm afraid she won't make it in time."

Xia Zhiheng's hands trembled slightly. He forced back his tears, nodded, and said, "I called when Grandma was taken to the hospital. My uncle should be arriving soon."

Xia Yichu's eyes reddened, and her voice trembled with tears as she asked, "Uncle Zhou, is there no other way?"

Zhou Wenbin shook his head. He was surprised that Grandma Xia had managed to hold on until now.

Pei Shizhou gently patted Xia Yichu's shoulder, trying to comfort her. Luo Hao silently walked to the window, his back to everyone, his shoulders trembling slightly, clearly also crying silently.

Zhou Wenbin sighed, "During this time, everyone should spend more time with the old lady and keep it from Uncle Xia for now." Everyone nodded silently.

For the rest of the time, they took turns staying by Grandma Xia's bedside, speaking softly to her. Xia Yichu held her grandmother's hand, trying her best to hold back her tears.

Grandma Xia looked at Xia Zhiheng. Although Zhou Wenbin said everything was fine, Grandma Xia knew her own body best and was afraid she wouldn't be able to hold on this time.

"Zhiheng, can I see Xiaoqian?"

Grandma Xia was afraid that she would not be able to see her youngest grandson one last time. Normally, she would not have made such an unreasonable request to put her eldest grandson in a difficult position.

"Yes, Grandma, I'll think of a way."

At a point like this, what could Xia Zhiheng possibly refuse?

"Xiao Qian, he..."

"Grandma, Xiaoqian will be alright. He was framed."

"I knew it, I knew it. Xiaoqian is such a good child, how could he do such a thing? Aying, come here, Grandma has something to say to you."

Xia Yichu quickly stood up and helped Zhou Miaoying sit down.

"Grandma, take good care of yourself and don't worry too much."

"Good child, you've been wronged."

Grandma Xia held Zhou Miaoying's hand and patted it a few times with heartache.

"Grandma, it's okay, I believe in Zhiqian."

Zhou Miaoying has started to regret it these past two days; she shouldn't have been so agitated when the incident occurred.

She had known Xia Zhiqian for five or six years and had been with him for four. She knew Xia Zhiqian better than anyone and shouldn't doubt him.

"Okay, okay, Ah Ying, no matter what the final outcome is, follow your heart and don't wrong yourself."

Zhiqian told me he wants your first child to take your surname. Your grandfather and I have no objections; it's up to you to decide.

Grandma Xia reached out and touched Zhou Miaoying's belly. She couldn't bear to see Zhiqian's child born. Grandma Xia looked at Zhou Miaoying's belly with regret.

Grandma Zhou Miaoying couldn't help but cry.

"Don't cry. Take good care of yourself and get better. Leave everything else to Zhiheng and your parents. If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. There's no hurdle you can't overcome."

Grandma Xia gently wiped away Zhou Miaoying's tears. Then, as if giving her last words, Grandma Xia gave instructions to everyone.

"I'm tired and want to rest for a while. Xiao Chu, stay here with me. You all go back and rest."

At Grandma Xia's insistence, everyone except Xia Yichu and Grandpa Xia went back first, while Tiezhu and Pei Shizhou sat guard outside the ward.

"Grandma, have some water and then get some rest."

Xia Yichu gave Grandma Xia a glass of water from her spatial storage and poured one for Grandpa Xia as well.

Grandpa Xia was lying on the bed next to Grandma Xia, half asleep. He hadn't slept for a day and a night and couldn't stay awake any longer. He took the water from Xia Yichu and drank it all in one gulp.

"Xiao Chu, I'm going to sleep for a while. If your grandma needs anything, remember to wake me up."

"it is good"

Xia Yichu helped Grandpa Xia cover himself with the blanket, and then went to Grandma Xia's bedside.

"Grandma, would you like some more water?"

"No, Xiao Chu, sit down and talk to me for a while."

Xia Yichu sat in a chair, holding Grandma Xia's hand. Grandma Xia looked at Xia Yichu, her eyes filled with love and reluctance.

"Xiao Chu, would you like to hear the story of me and your grandfather?"

Grandma Xia is in pretty good spirits right now. Knowing that her days are numbered, she is reluctant to sleep.

"Thoughts"

Grandma Xia looked at Grandpa Xia, and after a while, he had fallen asleep and was even snoring.

"Your grandfather and I were introduced by someone, and we got engaged on our first meeting. I was attracted to him because he was good-looking."

Later, as we spent more time together, I discovered that he was exceptionally hardworking, always eager to do chores both inside and outside the house.

Once, during a busy farming season, the weather was extremely hot. Fearing that I would suffer from heatstroke, he got up early and finished all the heavy work so that I could rest more.

In the cold winter, he would always warm the blankets before calling me to bed. We went through many hard times together; when we were hungry, he would go hungry himself to save the only food he had for me.

Later, I asked him what he saw in me when we first met. Guess what he said?

Grandma Xia was young then, and she just liked pretty things. Her mother always said that people who are good at working and caring are the most useful; what's the point of being so pretty?

Fortunately, Grandpa Xia is not only good-looking, but also does a good job. Most importantly, he cares about her.

"They must have been attracted to my grandma because she's beautiful," Xia Yichu said proudly.

"No, your grandpa said he likes to see me smile, and that my eyes are like the moon in the sky when I smile. They're curved, bright, and seem to be able to talk."

He also said he hoped she could laugh happily every day from now on, so that he wouldn't feel tired at all when he came back from work.

Xia Yichu chuckled. "And then what happened?"

Grandma Xia's face was filled with a happy smile as she continued, "Later, life got better and better, and we also had your uncle and your father."

Your grandfather and I have supported each other through thick and thin for so many years, and our bond has only grown stronger.

As Xia Yichu listened to her grandmother's story, her heart was filled with warmth, yet also with sadness. She knew her grandmother didn't have much time left and would never hear such stories again.

"Grandma, you and Grandpa have such a good relationship."

Xia Yichu leaned against her grandmother's bedside and spoke softly. Grandma Xia patted Xia Yichu's head.

"Silly child, you will always be happy. Love is about mutual understanding, mutual care, and facing difficulties together."

As she spoke, Grandma Xia's voice gradually weakened. Xia Yichu looked at her grandmother, and tears streamed down her face.

She held her grandmother's hand tightly, hoping that time would slow down so she could spend more time with her grandmother.

At this moment, Grandpa Xia turned over and mumbled a few words in his sleep. Xia Yichu and Grandma Xia smiled at each other.

Xia Yichu then told her grandmother about her childhood. As she was talking, she couldn't hear her grandmother's voice anymore. Xia Yichu looked up and saw that her grandmother had fallen asleep.

She covered Grandma Xia with the blanket and watched as Grandma Xia silently shed tears.
