The old lady was still asleep when Shen Youyou returned to the ward. When she went in and saw the unopened cake on the table, she understood instantly.
She immediately threw herself into the old lady's arms, acting coquettishly and with a few tears in her eyes.
"Grandma, if you're not feeling well yet, don't do these things."
The old lady hugged Shen Youyou and then gently put the birthday hat on her head.
"I'm not tired. I asked aunt to buy the cake. I'm just waiting for you to come back." After saying that, he looked at the door of the ward and said, "It's your birthday today. Xiao Zhou didn't come?"
As soon as she heard him, Shen Youyou felt very uncomfortable.
Just when I was thinking about how to explain this relationship, the door was pushed open.
The old lady immediately stood up with a smile and said, "Xiao Zhou is here to celebrate your birthday."
As a result, I walked over and saw that it was Bai Jilian.
"Shen Youyou, you stinky cousin, you dare to threaten my daughter, even after receiving the marriage certificate, you still don't abide by women's ethics and go out to hook up with men.
Do you think you can become famous by hooking up with some cat or dog? Let me tell you, since you are married to Zhou Tingjun, you will be his person in life and his ghost in death."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Get out of here!"
Shen Youyou was chasing people like crazy, but Bai Jilian was not willing to leave.
"What? You've turned against me? You weren't like this when you asked me for money! If it weren't for me, your grandma would have died long ago!"
"Get out of here!"
"Let her say it!"
The old lady came over with a look of disbelief on her face. She stared at Shen Youyou, as if something was broken in her eyes.
"Let her go and let her speak!"
"grandmother……"
"I told you to let her speak!"
The old lady hit the ground hard twice with her cane, and veins popped up on the back of her already thin hand.
"Ah, it seems your grandma doesn't know yet!"
Bai Jilian seemed to have caught some loophole and immediately walked over gloating.
"Your niece is very filial. For your sake, she married that disabled illegitimate son of the Zhou family."
"Are you telling the truth?"
"I've already received the certificate, can I still fake it? Besides, did I borrow the five million randomly?"
"When did it happen?"
"The day you had a massive hemorrhage." Bai Jilian turned to look at Shen Youyou, smiling mockingly, "Are you really good at hiding it?"
Shen Youyou clenched her fists, her nails digging deeply into her flesh, her fair face flashed with sharp frost, and her eyes as clear as water seemed to be burning with red fire at this moment.
Bai Jilian was a little regretful by Shen Youyou's expression, and her tongue rolled unconsciously.
"You... stop looking at me like this, Shen Youyou, I'm telling you, you'd better be honest with me and abide by the rules when you make a deal, otherwise if I ask you to get your money back, you won't have any money. Treat your grandma."
Bai Jilian knew the old lady's position in Shen Youyou's heart, so using the old lady as a blackmail was the best way.
After Bai Jilian left, the old lady lay back on the bed without saying a word, just facing the wall.
Shen Youyou was worried and shouted from time to time, but never received a response.
Shen Youyou knew that the old lady had poisoned her.
"Grandma, could you please say something?"
"Grandma, I was wrong, please pay attention to me."
Shen Youyou knelt down beside the bed with a pop, her jade-like face covered with tears.
"I know what I did made you sad, but grandma, I had no choice. You were in emergency care at the time. If I couldn't pay for it, the operation wouldn't be possible. Grandma, you know, I..."
"Do you think grandma is angry with you?"
The old lady finally turned around, their eyes met, and both of their eyes were filled with tears.
"Grandma is angry with herself, and I don't know that you did all this because of me."
The old lady's face was a little pale, and her voice was a little wavy when she spoke. She supported the bed with both hands, sat up slowly, and looked at Shen Youyou's washed white T-shirt, her eyes full of distress and regret.
"Youyou, it's grandma who's sorry for you, it's grandma who has dragged you down. If it weren't for grandma, you wouldn't have to suffer so much grievances."
"Grandma, I am not wronged."
Seeing the old lady reaching out to beat herself, Shen Youyou quickly hugged her.
"I only know that without my grandmother, I would have died long ago."
For Shen Youyou, half of his life was given by his mother and the other half by his grandmother.
After all, Shen Jianguo had almost ignored her at first. It was her grandmother who raised her little by little with a few acres of land in the countryside.
Therefore, for her, as long as she can save her grandmother, she doesn't care what she has to do.
But in the eyes of the old lady, this kind of dedication was like a knife thrust into her heart.
"Have all the five million been spent?"
The old lady helped Shen Youyou up, her haggard face looked like a tree that was about to wither.
When she asked, Shen Youyou immediately answered obediently.
"There are more than 1.8 million left."
The old lady was stunned. She obviously didn't expect that she would spend so much in just a few days. At that moment, a certain emotion began to ferment in her heart.
"Xiao Zhou broke up with you because of this, right?"
"Ah?" Shen Youyou paused and hurriedly explained: "We are not breaking up, we are just..."
"You shouldn't hide it from grandma now." The old lady said with a look that saw through it. "If we hadn't broken up, he wouldn't have missed your birthday today."
Thinking of this, the old lady became even more sad.
She felt that she had ruined Shen Youyou's happiness.
The old lady cried for a long time that night. Maybe she was tired from crying in the end, so she fell into a deep sleep on the bed.
But at four o'clock in the morning, she suddenly woke up again. Shen Youyou was lying next to her. When she heard a noise, she immediately sat up.
"Grandma, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
The old lady's eyes were almost completely sunken, and her mouth, which was originally a little pale, now had a lot of broken skin.
Seeing Shen Youyou coming to help her, she shook her hand, coughed a few times and then sat up by herself, supporting the bed board.
"The house at home is in your name. You took the time to sell it."
"I won't sell it! That's what grandpa left behind."
The old lady smiled, but she was as free and easy as a mortal.
"Except life and death, everything is a trivial matter, so sell it."
"grandmother……"
"Youyou, be obedient and sell the house. Grandma... Grandma really can't bear to see you marry that disabled person."
The old lady spoke louder, but this time she did not shed any tears.
"After the sale, you should pay back Bai Jilian's money, and then file for divorce. If it doesn't work, you can... just leave Nancheng, Youyou, you are still young, and you can do anything in time."
"No!" Shen Youyou was a little angry, grabbing the old lady's hand and squeezing it tightly, "If I run away, who will take care of grandma?"
"Silly boy, grandma will take care of herself."
"Deal it? Grandma, what do you mean?"
Shen Youyou frowned, full of confusion, but the old lady just forced a smile.
"nothing."
"No, grandma, please make it clear. I will be worried if you do this."
"Okay, okay, stop thinking so wildly."
The old lady held Shen Youyou with her backhand, and then gently patted the back of her hand twice.
"Grandma is a little hungry. Go get some food for grandma."
Shen Youyou was a little uneasy, but after hearing what the old lady said, she could only stand up.
"What would grandma want to eat?"
"Peony cake."
"But there probably won't be any stores open at this time."
"I have it at home."
"Go home and get it?" Shen Youyou was a little reluctant, "Auntie is not here today and I'm worried about you being alone. How about I get some for you first?"
"I just want to eat that."
The old lady was unusually picky. Shen Youyou couldn't persuade her several times, so she had no choice but to agree.
But what she didn't expect was that when she came back, the room would be empty.
But the window was open, and one of the old lady's slippers was hanging on the window eaves.
The corridor began to commotion, and all kinds of exclamations and screams suddenly sounded...
