Chapter 255 Tired! Really Tired!
Jiang Wan was stunned: [I didn’t plan to stay here! ]
[But, if grandma wakes up tomorrow morning and can't see me, she will think too much, what should I do? ]
Drip!
Jiang Wan took out her phone and saw that Zhan Tingxiao had sent her a big red envelope, asking: "Can you stay and help me accompany grandma? She needs you very much now."
[I am willing to stay with her because I love her and I don’t need your commission.]
Jiang Wan returned the red envelope.
His eyes were fixed on the old man on the hospital bed.
Her days are numbered.
Even though she was given the best medicine, she still couldn't resist her internal friction.
Internal friction is harmful to the body, not to mention that many of her organs have long been severely damaged. Her life span now is like a lamp that can be extinguished at any time.
When Jiang Wan thought of this, her heart was filled with a feeling of powerlessness and sadness.
[I have been busy all my life, but in the end, I still cannot change the old man’s fate. ]
【Grandma, I'm sorry! 】
She held the old man's hand uncomfortably, thinking: "I will consider this as a way to repay your kindness in these two lives. In the days to come, I will stay and accompany you through this final journey."
Outside the room, Zhan Tingxiao heard Jiang Wan's thoughts, and he leaned against the white wall silently.
Grandma doesn't have much time left.
The old man he respected most in his life was ultimately defeated by those sinister villains.
His fists were clenched and rattling at his sides.
He turned around angrily and walked out of the battle garden.
……
The next morning, Jiang Wan received the news that her third aunt had been taken away by the police.
She looked out the window in surprise.
In the greenhouse downstairs, an old man was sitting in a rocking chair basking in the sun.
The soft sunlight shines on her old face. In her calmness, there is a touch of worldly sadness.
Jiang Wan asked Chen Fei what was going on.
Chen Fei said on the phone: "The boss felt something was wrong after watching the surveillance last night, so he investigated overnight. Finally, he found that after she worshipped her ancestors the day before yesterday, she did not leave immediately, but secretly went to the kitchen.
The porridge Liang Qianjun drank yesterday morning was prepared by her.
Now she has confessed.”
"What's her motive? What was her motive for killing Liang Qianjun?"
"It is said that the Second Madam has looked down on these side branches of the Zhan family since she married into the family. One time, her foolish son ran to the ancestral hall to play and accidentally bumped into her, so she had someone beat him up."
"Is she seeking revenge for her son?"
"Yes!"
Chen Fei said: "People who have a bad life are more or less sensitive. The Third Old Lady has always regarded her son as her life. If the Second Old Lady hits her, it means she is killing her!"
"No! Grandma was also poisoned by oleander before. How come it's such a coincidence that she also gave Liang Qianjun this poison?"
"This……"
"Fade Chen, where are you now?"
"In the Zhan Family Ancestral Hall."
This matter is of great importance, Zhan Tingxiao has summoned all the uncles and uncles in the Zhan family ancestral hall and is interrogating them inside.
It was not convenient for Jiang Wan to go over, so she had to continue waiting for news from Chen Fei.
Not long after, Fade Chen called again and said, "She denied that the old lady's poisoning had anything to do with her! The reason why she used oleander venom on Liang Qianjun this time was inspired by the old lady's poisoning."
"So, she doesn't admit that she was the one who secretly harmed grandma?"
"Yes! She said that although she had been jealous of the old lady, after the great master passed away, she felt that the old lady was also quite pitiful. They were all in the same boat, so there was no point in comparing themselves."
"okay, I get it."
Jiang Wan tapped the table lightly with her fingers.
Suddenly, she saw the grandmother in the greenhouse downstairs waving at her. She said "Hey", hung up the phone and quickly went downstairs.
Grandma asked her, "Did Tingxiao call?"
"No." Jiang Wan shook her head.
The old man patted her hands and said, "Don't be so nervous. I'm not a fragile doll. Is there anything you can't tell me?"
"It's really nothing."
Jiang Wan said: "It was Chen Fei who said that the elders at the ancestral hall were discussing how to bury Second Aunt. With everything Second Aunt has done, it seems that she is not qualified to enter the Zhan Family Ancestral Hall."
"She probably doesn't want to go in either."
The old man sighed heavily and said, "Although I don't like her, the dead are the greatest. Let's not dwell on the past. You can talk to Tingxiao and ask them to send Liang Qianjun's ashes back to the Liang family."
As for where Liang Qianjun wants to be buried, the Liang family should know better than her, right?
Jiang Wan understood what the old man meant.
He took out his phone and conveyed the message to Zhan Tingxiao.
Zhan Tingxiao replied with an OK.
However, when he was sent back, it was said that Zhan Yanyi still had a big fight with Zhan Tingxiao, saying that his mother had always valued her reputation, and if she had to be sent back to her parents' home after her death, she would definitely die with regrets.
Zhan Tingxiao didn't let him do as he pleased.
A slap in the face calmed him down.
"Are you sure she can enter the Zhan Family Ancestral Hall with a clear conscience? Zhan Yanyi, how old are you? Why are you still acting like a child?"
Zhan Yanyi was stunned for more than ten minutes after being scolded by him.
Ten minutes later, he went to Liang's house personally carrying his mother's ashes.
Jiang Wan heard all of this from Chen Fei who was beside Zhan Tingxiao.
She didn't go anywhere today. She just stayed in the War Garden, prepared some snacks, and lay in the rocking chair in the greenhouse with her grandmother to bask in the sun.
The old man said: "I have experienced two great changes in my life! When your grandfather was alive, his business failed once, and the Zhan family's foundation of many years was almost destroyed in our hands.
I accompanied him in scraping together money from all over, and finally managed to gather enough capital for a desperate attempt.
Fortunately, we won the bet that time.
The second time was 20 years ago, when your parents-in-law passed away unexpectedly. I, a retired old woman, returned to the precarious group and fought desperately with the young Tingxiao to hold on to the sovereignty in my hands.
Now, your second uncle has escaped death and your second aunt has passed away.
Although you and Tingxiao always try to act as if nothing has happened in front of me, I know that the third disaster of our Zhan family has come. "
"grandmother?"
"Silly boy."
Madam Zhan patted the back of Jiang Wan's hand and said lovingly, "How can life be smooth sailing? Isn't it true that things change over time? God has blessed our Zhan family with so much glory, and he will surely give us some bitter melons elsewhere. Whether it's good or bad, we have to accept it with pleasure, right?"
"If you really think so, why would you let your body become like this?"
Jiang Wan "blamed" her with red eyes: "Look at you, you're tired after just a few words, right?"
"Tired, really tired!"
The old man laughed.
On the wrinkled face, there are three parts of regret, five parts of relief, and two parts of expectation.
"I've lived so many years and eaten so much salt, aren't I tired?
But, child, when grandma sees that the Zhan family has you and Tingxiao, she doesn’t feel scared anymore.
I used to worry that the Zhan family would have no successor, but look at you now, Chen Feng's leg is getting better, and you and Tingxiao are doing well again.
Even if grandma passed away, she passed away peacefully."
"grandmother!!"
