Chapter 207 Past Events
Su Wenting readily agreed. She said, "Now that you are in Country D, let me, a native, be your tour guide and take you to the best places with the least money."
Yun Jiuxi smiled and said, "Okay, thank you in advance."
Su Wenting: "Don't thank me yet. I will go to Los Angeles when the time comes. Just treat me well."
"Okay, it's a deal."
"It's a word."
Of course Yun Jiuxi wanted nothing more than to do so. The two of them got along better and better as they talked, and somehow they ended up talking about family.
Su Wenting smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. You should have heard what my cousin said just now, right?"
"Our grandfather had two wives, and my father was born to the concubine. In ancient times, this would be called a bastard.
My great-grandmother's family has always looked down on us and has always been on guard against my grandfather meeting people from our family, fearing that he would give us something good. Especially without their consent, we were not allowed to meet my grandfather casually.
But even if we told them in advance, they never agreed to let us see him.
To put it bluntly, he wanted to completely sever our relationship with grandpa in this house. Grandpa didn't even get to see grandma for the last time.
Today is my 24th birthday, so my grandfather came out to meet me without telling them. Who knew... who knew something like this would happen? It will probably be even more impossible for me to meet my grandfather in the future."
"If grandpa's condition really gets worse because of this trip, I will never forgive myself in my life."
Looking at Su Wenting's pitiful appearance with her shoulders twitching as she cried, Yun Jiuxi patted her shoulders soothingly. He inexplicably felt distressed in his heart, just like the feeling when Qingyun cried in front of her when he was a child.
"Don't worry, your grandfather is fine, he's just a little tired due to his old age, he will be fine after some rest.
I just checked his pulse. Although he has some minor problems, he is in good health. It's mainly because of his age. But as long as he doesn't get too excited and takes good care of himself, there will be no problem. "
The medical staff carried Mr. Su directly back to the Su family and left.
Only Su Manrong and Grandpa Su and his grandson were left in the room.
Grandpa Su looked at his eldest granddaughter who usually took care of him, and explained with a guilty conscience: "Manrong, I know you don't like me meeting people from the second brother's family.
I usually listen to you, but today is Wenting’s 24th birthday.
The second brother and his wife only have one daughter, so that's why I went out to meet her.
Besides, I know my own body best and I don't have any serious problems at all.
You have taken good care of me over the years. I just fainted because I walked a few more steps. This is what happens when you get old. I will be fine after a good rest."
Before Su Manyong could say anything, there was a loud noise at the door. Old Madam Su and her two sons learned that Old Man Su had fainted after being called out to meet Su Wenting, so they all rushed back home in a hurry.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw Mr. Su lying on the bed. He looked fine and didn't look like he was sick.
Seeing that he was fine, Madam Su finally felt relieved. But when she thought that he fainted because he was going to see that bitch's granddaughter, she felt extremely upset.
The words spoken also became somewhat sarcastic.
“Oh, you fainted, why didn’t your good granddaughter take you to the hospital?
We at Manrong will also have to trouble you to find someone to carry you back."
The youngest son also spoke up, “Dad, you knew you were not in good health, so why did you go out to meet those people over there?
So many years have passed, haven't you forgotten them yet?
What did you promise us before? But what are you doing now? Have you forgotten everything?"
"Yes, Dad, you promised Mom and us that you would never meet or contact the people over there again. Why did you go to see her?"
Grandpa Su repeated the excuse he had just explained to his eldest granddaughter.
Madam Su said, "Since you are so reluctant to leave them, then go live with them.
Madam Su looked at her two sons and said, "Did you hear that? He always forgets your birthdays, but he remembers his granddaughter's 24th birthday clearly.
Despite your sick body, you went out to celebrate your birthday with others, and finally got carried back. If you have the guts, just die outside and don’t bother us.”
The youngest son pulled her sleeve and said, "Mom, stop talking. It's good enough that Dad can come back safely."
Then he looked at Mr. Su and said, "Dad, what Mom said makes sense. You should not go out in the future. Even if you go out, you should bring someone with you. If you faint because of some insignificant people again, it will not be worth it."
Old Master Su thought how could that person be an unimportant person, since she was still his granddaughter.
But when he saw the unhappy expressions on his wife and two sons' faces, he swallowed the words he was about to argue.
When Mrs. Su saw that her husband's face showed not only no remorse but also a hint of disapproval, her anger grew even stronger.
In Mr. Su’s time, men could marry two wives.
Old Madam Su was a match for him, and was his original wife who had been engaged to him since childhood.
Su Wenting's grandmother was an orphan who was almost sold to a brothel by her gambler father and was finally rescued by a rich young man.
It's a very clichéd plot. The orphan girl and the young master fell in love with each other, and the young master insisted on taking the orphan girl as his concubine, which offended his father-in-law's family. But in the end, Mr. Su's parents couldn't persuade him and had to agree to let Su Wenting's grandmother marry into the family.
Later, with the reform and opening up in China, monogamy was implemented, and this policy also affected this side. Mr. Su could only choose one wife and give up the other.
At that time, Mr. Su was wavering between his two wives, and vaguely seemed to be leaning towards Grandma Su Wenting. How could Madam Su allow herself to be outdone by a lowly orphan?
She cruelly pushed her own 2-year-old daughter into the river and almost drowned her, and then put the blame on Su Wenting's grandmother.
In the end, Mr. Su chose the then Madam Su because of this matter. Su Wenting's grandmother explained many times, but Mr. Su just didn't believe her. He left the Su family in dismay.
Later, the youngest daughter died of a lung infection. Grandpa Su felt guilty and swore that he would never see Su Wenting's grandmother and her son again. This led to the following events.
It was originally thought that the two families would live their own lives and would never meet again, but when Su Wenting was 5 years old, he got a serious illness and needed a lot of money for treatment.
When Su's father spent all his wealth and still couldn't pay for his daughter's medical treatment, he took his daughter to find Grandpa Su.
When Su Wenting was a child, she looked very much like her deceased aunt. Regardless of the objections from other members of the Su family, Su's father and mother not only arranged a good hospital and doctor for Su Wenting, but also covered all her medical expenses and visited her frequently. The relationship between the two was established at that time.
