"Then give me some time. I'll talk to grandpa and find out what's going on. Can you wait for my news?" Sheng Mingxi's tone was pleading, and Lu Qingqing softened her heart.
Promise to give him time to talk to the old man.
When Sheng Mingxi returned to the ward, the old man had already finished eating.
"Where's Qingqing?" The old man was hard of hearing, but looking at Sheng Mingxi's expression, it felt like the two of them had quarreled.
"She has to leave beforehand." Sheng Mingxi dismissed Qianhe and sat beside the old man's bed.
"Why are you so troubled?" the old man asked worriedly.
"She told me about her parents." Sheng Mingxi didn't know how to tell her grandfather.
The old man understood it as soon as he heard it.
"It seems that she still knows. Alas, there is still no way to avoid what is coming."
The old man sighed.
"Grandpa, what happened back then?" Sheng Mingxi never believed that his grandfather would do such a thing.
"Did Qingqing ask you to ask?"
Sheng Mingxi nodded.
The old man sighed again.
"I originally wanted to put these things in the coffin. It seems that many things are not as good as God's. In this case, I have nothing to hide."
Then, the old man told everything about what happened that year.
It turned out that in order to compete with his colleagues for a piece of land, the old man had to bribe officials and was later exposed. Because the old man was the backbone of the family at that time, Sheng Mingxi's great-grandmother asked her idle younger son Sheng Yimin to take the blame for her brother, and was eventually sentenced.
Sent to prison for five years.
However, Sheng Yimin, who was originally uneducated and unskilled, became even more serious after this experience. He went to prison again not long after he was released from prison, and even his mother passed away without being able to see him for the last time.
Because the old man felt guilty for his younger brother, when he was released from prison again, he arranged for Sheng Yimin to work as a foreman at Shengxiang's construction site. However, his bad habits were hard to change, and it didn't take long for him to fall in love with a cook on the construction site.
The young woman is Lu Qingqing’s adoptive mother.
After failing to hook up several times, he became malicious and managed to get some drug and raped Lu Qingqing's adoptive mother. Afterwards, Lu Qingqing's adoptive mother felt embarrassed and did not dare to say anything. Who knew she was pregnant?
Because she was so shameless, she finally chose to hang herself. Before she died, she told her husband Lu Fugui.
Lu Fugui took a knife to Sheng Yimin's house that night and wanted to fight him. Later, the old man came forward and asked Sheng Yimin to pay some money to Lu Fugui, and the matter was over.
But Lu Fugui didn't know who he heard, saying that it was a crime for Sheng Yimin to sleep with his wife, so he would rather give up money and seek justice for his wife.
Sheng Yimin panicked when he heard this. In order to avoid future troubles, he sent someone to inject ether into Lu Fugui while he was sleeping. As a result, he fell off the scaffolding that night.
Because the symptoms of ether are similar to those of drunkenness, everyone thought that Lu Fugui was drunk and that the accident happened. But the old man knew that the matter was not that simple. Later, the police intervened, and Sheng Yimin had no choice but to tell the old man the truth.
The old man beat him up severely. At that time, Sheng Yimin cried so much that he asked the old man to save him, saying that if he went in again this time, he would probably die inside.
The old man felt guilty about him, but seeing how pitiful he looked, he softened his heart and helped him settle the matter. Afterwards, he sent someone to get Lu Fugui's autopsy report.
But he did not destroy it immediately, but stored it in a safe for nearly twenty years.
The old man knew that he was guilty of the Lu family, and he had been feeling uneasy all these years. It was not until he went on a blind date with Sheng Mingxi that he saw a girl named Lu Qingqing appear in the blind date's survey information, and he was overjoyed.
Because the girl’s father’s column was written as Lu Fugui, and her mother’s column was written as the woman who committed suicide, so the old man knew that the opportunity for compensation had come.
After hearing this, Sheng Mingxi knew the real reason why grandpa chose Lu Qingqing.
"Grandpa, you shouldn't have protected the second master in the first place. He has done many evil things and deserves the punishment he deserves." Sheng Mingxi said.
"I was confused for a while and looked pitiful to him. However, he has not had a good life in recent years. He lost a leg in a car accident five years ago. Last year, he lost two fingers due to gambling. It can be considered that evil is rewarded, but with
Compared with the two lives of the Lu family, it is far from enough." The old man has actually regretted it for a long time, but now that the matter has come to this, there is no use in regretting it.
…
Lu Qingqing returned to her grandma's house. As soon as she entered the door, she saw her grandma holding a photo of Lu Fugui and his wife and wiping her tears.
"Grandma, why did you take out the photos again?" The old lady took out the photos and looked at them all the time these days, and she felt sad every time she looked at them.
"Qingqing is back?" Grandma hurriedly put the photos away. "Do you have any good news to tell grandma?"
Looking at her grandma's earnest eyes, Lu Qingqing's heart felt like a big stone was weighing on her, making her breathless.
"Grandma, my dad can't rush this matter. I'm still collecting evidence, but don't worry, I..."
"Qingqing, is grandma giving you a hard time?" Grandma Lu actually didn't want to be so impatient, but she was afraid that she didn't have much time.
"No, grandma, why am I in trouble? Don't think so much. What do you want to eat tonight? I'll cook it for you?"
The old lady has had a bad appetite these days. She only eats a little bit at a meal and has lost weight. If this continues, Lu Qingqing is worried that her body will not be able to bear it.
"Qingqing, when can Haizhou come back?" the old lady suddenly asked.
"I guess he will be back as soon as the Spring Festival. Grandma, do you miss him?"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for him to come back." The old lady sighed and said.
"Grandma, don't think so. The doctor said your disease will be fine if you persist for another ten to eight years."
"Don't comfort me. I know that my body is almost exhausted. I only have one thought now, which is that I hope that when I am alive, I can see the villain who killed Haizhou's parents be brought to justice.
So...cough cough cough..." Before the old lady could finish her words, she started coughing violently.
"Grandma, are you okay?" Lu Qingqing ran over to help the old lady breathe, but found that the old lady's phlegm was full of blood.
"Grandma, don't scare me, let's go to the hospital quickly?" After Lu Qingqing finished speaking, he was about to go out to find a car, but grandma grabbed him.
"It's useless. Stop spending money randomly. Save the money and save it for yourself. Your days of spending money will come later."
"Grandma, how can you do this at home?" Lu Qingqing ignored grandma's objections and borrowed a car from his neighbor's uncle to take grandma to the hospital.
That night, Sheng Mingxi learned that Grandma Lu was hospitalized and hurriedly came over to visit her.
At the door of the ward, Sheng Mingxi told Lu Qingqing everything he learned from the old man.
"Qingqing, grandpa is very regretful now. Can you please look at my face and not bother with this matter at this time? I'm worried that if the second master is really caught, grandpa won't be able to bear it."
"You're just worried that grandpa won't be able to bear it, so have you ever considered my grandma?"
