When Lin Yuxi entered the ward, the old lady had just had lunch.
Aunt Zhao put away the nutritious meal that she barely moved, with a sad look on her face: "How can you do this without eating? How can your body bear it?"
"I can't eat." The old lady sighed while lying on the hospital bed.
Aunt Zhao turned around and was about to go out. When she saw Lin Yuxi, she immediately seemed to have seen a savior. She turned back and shouted overjoyed: "Look who is coming!"
Lin Yuxi called out: "Grandma."
The first moment the old lady saw her, her eyes were clearly filled with joy, and she sat up. But immediately, she fell down for some reason, turned around and lay down, with her back to Lin Yuxi, and covered herself with a quilt.
A capital Autism.
Aunt Zhao was still nagging: "Yuxi, please persuade your grandma. She hasn't had a few bites of food in the past few days."
Lin Yuxi walked over and looked at the ball under the quilt on the bed: "What's wrong? You don't want to see me? I'll go then."
The old lady came out of the quilt and said in despair, "Grandma, why don't you want to see you? I don't have the face to see you."
Lin Yuxi thought it was because of her divorce from Zhou Yanjing, so she picked up the untouched bowl of chicken noodle soup and said, "It's not that serious."
Aunt Zhao hurriedly rearranged the small table: "I'll wash some fruits for you."
She went out and closed the door. Lin Yuxi sat by the bed. The bowl was warm and no longer hot.
She picked up the soft and glutinous noodles with chopsticks and fed it to the old lady. The old lady had no appetite, but she still opened her mouth to eat.
"Aren't you at work? Who secretly snitched on you?" She guessed it as soon as she thought about it, "Is it that little brat again?"
"You still said." Lin Yuxi looked at her face, which looked much more haggard than when she was pretending to be sick. "Didn't you promise me last time that you would tell me if you had anything?"
"Grandma has no face to see you." The old lady repeated dejectedly, "If it weren't for me, I wouldn't have made you suffer so much."
"How can I blame you?" Lin Yuxi said, "It's not your fault."
The old lady sighed: "It's my fault."
Lin Yuxi fed her noodles again, but this time she couldn't eat any more. Lin Yuxi put down the bowl, held the old lady's wrinkled hands in hers, and sighed several times.
"I had one foot in the coffin at that time, and I really couldn't bear to worry about you. You didn't come back often after you were admitted to college. Grandma knows that you don't regard the Zhou family as your own home, and I think you are alone outside. , I am lonely and my heart is not at ease."
Throughout her life, she had suffered hardships, enjoyed blessings, and experienced everything she needed to experience. When death came, she could not let go of one thing.
"Those in our family have nothing to worry about. I am the most worried about you. You have a soft temper, and I am always worried that you will be bullied outside. There is not even anyone to vent your anger on. I always dreamed about you at that time. I dreamed that you were crying alone. You cried so much that I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't fall asleep. If I didn't put you in a good place, I wouldn't even be able to close my eyes until I died."
"It just happened that Hengtai was in some trouble at that time. I was also in a hurry and went to the doctor. I was afraid that I would run out of time and come up with such a stupid trick."
Lin Yuxi was stunned: "Did you deliberately arrange that master?"
"I watched Yan Jing grow up. He has a good character. He liked to tease you when he was little. I think he has some affection for you. I originally thought that if the two of you could make it, you would have a good home. , If it doesn’t work, after three years, I can justifiably give you a large sum of money, enough to provide you with food and clothing for a lifetime..."
When the old lady said this, she shed tears of guilt: "I didn't expect to push you into the fire pit."
Lin Yuxi looked at the bowl of chicken noodle soup that was slowly cooling down and was stunned for a while.
The old lady became more and more distressed as she spoke, clutching her hand tightly: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault..."
Is she to blame? Lin Yuxi didn't even know it herself.
Blame her, grandma worked hard and her original intention was to love her.
Don't blame her. If it weren't for the so-called master and his fate and karma, she wouldn't need to marry Zhou Yanjing.
She would have consciously left the Zhou family, and she and Zhou Yanjing would have drifted apart.
He continued to be his favored son, with all the stars shining over the moon, and glory and glory. After she graduated, she became an ordinary little doctor, living separately in two unrelated worlds.
Slowly, the experience of living under the same roof as children will become an insignificant old chapter in their lives.
There may also be a little bit of regret, because after all, this man has made a very profound mark in her life, with both love and hate being profound.
The good thing is that she won't suffer from cramps and bone peeling.
Lin Yuxi was silent for a long time, then took out a tissue and gently wiped her grandma's tears.
"Forget it," she said, "It's all over anyway."
"Why are you such a soft-hearted child? You are so easy to be bullied!" Grandma fell on the pillow sadly, "No, if you don't punish me, I will punish myself. I want to go on a hunger strike. Like me An old woman who does all kinds of evil doesn’t deserve to eat delicious food.”
"Where's Xiao Zhao? From now on, don't make nutritious meals for me. Give me rice bran vegetables and watery soup without rice. I won't eat fried chicken anymore. I don't deserve it. I only deserve to eat chili noodles."
Lin Yuxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You are not punishing yourself, you are punishing Aunt Zhao. She gave you chaffy vegetables, and you will be poked in the spine and scolded for abusing the elderly."
"Then I want to go back to Mount Putuo and confess to the Bodhisattva."
"Is it okay if I don't go back?" Lin Yuxi felt a little reluctant as the days he could stay with her were getting shorter and longer. "Can you stay with me more? When you are here, no one will dare to bully me."
The old lady was so soft-hearted that she stretched out her arms to hug her: "Okay, okay. Grandma won't leave. Grandma will stay here with you."
Aunt Zhao, who came back from washing the fruits, saw the two of them talking and didn't come in to disturb them.
Lin Yuxi finally calmed down the old lady with whom she was at odds, coaxed her to sleep, closed the door and came out.
Zhou Yanjing came back from outside carrying a bag.
Lin Yuxi didn't speak to him, so Zhou Yanjing asked, "Where are you going?"
"work."
Lin Yuxi crossed him and was about to leave. Zhou Yanjing grabbed her arm and said, "I bought you lunch. Eat before you leave."
"I won't eat anymore." Lin Yuxi wanted to take out her hand.
Zhou Yanjing didn't let go, and held her tightly with his palm: "You fool around with breakfast every day, don't eat lunch, and just do whatever you want with dinner. Are you going to starve yourself into a skeleton and use it as a specimen?"
"It's none of your business." Lin Yuxi said, "I'm not hungry now."
Zhou Yanjing: "Then eat some with me."
"I'm a doctor, not an escort. You can eat it yourself."
"Which escort has a temper as bad as yours?" After Zhou Yanjing finished speaking, he softened his tone and said, "Lin Yuxi, can't you be more obedient?"
"Why should I listen to you?" Lin Yuxi choked him, "When you got married, you pretended to be a dead person. After divorce, you pretended to be a dead person to gain a sense of existence. Can you at least once stand in your rightful place?"
"I'm standing right where I'm supposed to be. Don't forget we're still in the cooling-off period."
He lowered his eyelids and looked at her leisurely: "What does the cooling-off period mean? The staff have already told you, why don't I explain it to you again?"
Lin Yuxi turned away her face: "No need."
Zhou Yanjing pulled her in front of her and wanted to explain: "It means that I, Zhou Yanjing, are still your legal husband, Lin Yuxi. You can also call me affectionately: husband."
