After lunch, everyone naturally chatted for a while, and her grandparents asked her about her recent life at school. In the end, they inevitably asked about her biological parents.
.
"Girl Jin, I heard that your grandpa came back from the market yesterday and said that he met your Grandpa Zeng at the vegetable market yesterday. Your Grandpa Zeng said that your parents drove to school to pick you up the day before yesterday afternoon. Why didn't you follow them later?
Let's go back together?
Is it because of Weiwei? We later learned about the things she had done, and we didn't expect that child to have such an extreme personality and be so selfish.
Last time, your grandpa and I persuaded your mother to take her back, but you also know your mother's character. She said that since Weiwei doesn't care about her mother, so she wants to be someone else's daughter, then
She just pretends to be her daughter who never gave birth to her. Do you think this is such a fuss? Alas..."
Xiang Jin thought to herself: Yang Juyun was really happy that Ouyang Weiwei wouldn't go back. She had heard her say before that Ouyang Weiwei had a strange disease. She didn't know how much money it would cost her to admit her and go back.
Now that Ouyang Weiwei has made such a big fuss, Yang Juyun just takes this opportunity to deny Ouyang Weiwei. Even if others will comment on her, she also said that Ouyang Weiwei wants to be a high-ranking official in the city.
Daughter instead of her biological mother.
Thinking of this, the corner of Xiang Jin's mouth evoked a very faint sarcastic smile, "Grandma, I don't deny that I really hate Ouyang Weiwei, and it is true that I don't want to see her, but the reason why I
The reason I didn’t go back there with my parents was because I wasn’t very familiar with them and I felt a little uncomfortable getting along with them.”
When her grandmother heard this, she became excited, and her eyes were full of hope and expectation, "Well, girl Jin, is it possible for you to come back to your mother? I know she was very hurt before.
Your heart, but, but you..."
Yan Chen was startled, and then looked towards Jin, and sure enough, she saw that Xiang Jin's eyes that were originally looking at her grandmother's words gradually retracted, and then the smile that originally hung on the corner of her mouth slowly faded.
Go down.
When Xiang Jin's grandfather saw Xiang Jin's look, he immediately yelled at Xiang Jin's grandmother, "What nonsense are you talking about? Why are you trying to embarrass other children at this time?"
She's so grown up, doesn't she know what she's doing? Why should you, a damn old woman, talk too much? What's wrong with a child? Haven't you had enough of the hard life at her place? Just tell me quietly.
Shut your mouth!
If she wants to be a monster, let her be! We are already in our sixties, do we still have to clean up the mess for her for the rest of our lives?"
Xiang Jin and her grandmother immediately sighed loudly when they heard this, and then took Xiang Jin's hand and said, "Girl, grandma was so excited just now that she lost her mind when she spoke, and she didn't think about you from your perspective at all.
But, why don’t you argue with grandma? Grandma is confused, just pretend that I didn’t say what I just said!”
The corners of Xiang Jin's lips curled up slightly again, "No, grandma, I don't blame you!"
Her grandmother clapped her hand sadly, "Oh, that's good, that's good!"
Xiang Jin felt that it would be better to explain some things clearly to them, so he said, "Grandpa, grandma, in addition to visiting you, the purpose of my coming here today is also two things I want to tell you."
The two elders, including Yang Zhao and Xiang Lan, had their inner alarm bells ringing, as if they were afraid that she would say something they would not accept, so they all looked at her nervously.
Although Yan Chen had suspicions, he was not surprised because he knew that Xiang Jin had always been a straightforward and decisive person. She once said to him, "You should make decisions when walking in life," so she was not someone who liked to procrastinate in everything.
people.
Xiang Jin had a panoramic view of their expressions, but she had to say this, "First of all, the mother-daughter relationship between Aunt Yang and I is just like this. If we are not destined to be mother and daughter, then we won't do it.
, from now on she is no longer my mother, and I am no longer her daughter..."
"Jin girl?!" Xiang Jin and her grandmother looked at Xiang Jin in disbelief as she interrupted her. Xiang Lan also looked deeply shocked. Her sister finally no longer wanted her mother, which meant that she
I don’t want her as my sister anymore!
Xiang Jin looked at her grandmother firmly and said, "Grandma, listen to what I have to say, okay?"
Her grandmother nodded vaguely and continued to Jin, "Although she is no longer my mother, and I am no longer her daughter, and there is no longer a mother-daughter relationship between us, but you, you are still me.
relatives.
My grandparents are still my grandparents, my uncles and aunts are still my uncles and aunts, my cousins are still my uncles, and Xiang Lan is still my sister.
But I hope you will stop trying to ease the relationship between me and Aunt Yang in the future. It’s useless!
Once something is cracked and broken, it is broken forever and cannot be repaired no matter what. I understand what kind of person she is, and I also clearly understand what kind of person I am, so
That’s it.”
Xiang Jin's grandmother immediately started crying, and Xiang Jin's grandfather also felt uncomfortable. Xiang Jin looked at them for a while, and then continued, "I know you may find it hard to accept what I said. To be honest,
I actually felt quite uncomfortable when I said these words, but I still want to say that by opening up the topic this way, everyone will be more relaxed in the future!"
Her grandfather and grandmother's eyes were filled with mist, and they both nodded and said, "We know, we know!"
Xiang Jin then added, "The second thing is that it will be inconvenient for me to go back to that house in the future, and the same goes for the shop. But grandpa and grandma, I'm afraid you should take more care of the things in that shop in the future. It's best to be like before.
You are in charge of the income and expenditure.
Xiang Lan is still young now, and he will need money for study and life in the future. As time goes by, with the continuous growth of social economy, the money will become less and less valuable, and the future expenses will only be greater.
So that shop can be regarded as a material guarantee for Xiang Lan's future life, so he won't be fooled out of a lot of money like before."
Her grandparents nodded, "Well, we know, we all know," and while they were talking, tears filled their eyes.
However, Yan Chen spoke up at the right time, "And Grandpa Yang, Grandma Yang, please remind Auntie Yang when the time comes that the recipe for the braised pork and braised vegetables is ours, and the relevant departments in the provincial capital are all concerned.
Patented formula.
At first, I kept the shop open because of Xiang Jin's sake. Now I still want to sell Xiang Jin a favor and keep it open, but I only let Aunt Yang use the formula to open it.
This store.
If one day she discloses the formula to others, I may not sell it to Xiang Jin anymore. I will be held accountable. If the compensation is hundreds of thousands or millions, then you can’t blame me, because my family
If we open more than a dozen branches in the provincial capital, the losses on that day will not be small, so we talk about business!"
Xiang Jin and her grandparents were startled, and then nodded, saying that they would pay attention, because Xiang Jin and Yan Chen had also mentioned in front of them the economic disputes caused by business leaks.
Yan Chen had reminded her like that once before when Xiang Jin was still their granddaughter. What's more, now that Xiang Jin is no longer their granddaughter, and their stupid daughter treated Xiang Jin like that, Yan Chen must also be very fond of this child.
You can't stand their stupid daughter, right?
If she really planned to do that and give the recipe of braised meat and vegetables to someone else, considering this child's always cold temperament towards others, she would probably not care about human feelings anymore, right?
In fact, they all clearly understood that the reason why Yan Chen, the child, had always treated them with great courtesy was entirely because they were Xiang Jin's relatives. Now that Xiang Jin was no longer their relative by blood, how could this child treat them so well?
Their attitudes will probably be different. People are actually like this, they all have their own differences between closeness and distance.
After Xiang Jin told her grandparents what she needed to say, she then stood up and said to Xiang Lan, "Xiang Lan, why don't you come out for a moment? May I have a few words with you alone?" After that, she stood up and faced Xiang Lan.
Went outside the house.
Xiang Lan was also sad at the moment. Suddenly she heard her sister calling her. It took her a long time to come back to her senses. Then she looked at her grandparents hesitantly. Her grandparents waved their hands to her, "Since your sister
If you have something to say to you, just go and stop standing!"
Xiang Lan turned around and walked out of the room.
Xiang Jin took Xiang Lan to an empty room nearby, then took out 500 yuan from his bag and handed it to her. The little girl was startled at first, and then said she didn't want it, she had money!
Xiang Jin directly put the money into her hand, "Take it, and be obedient!"
The little girl looked at the roll of money in her hand, and her tears immediately fell out with a "pop" sound, and her shoulders began to shrug, but the little girl stubbornly refused to cry.
Xiang Jin bent slightly and wiped the tears from her face, "Why are you crying? There is a reason why I gave you this money."
The little girl raised her head and looked at her, and Xiang Jin smiled slightly at her, "You will be twelve years old in a few months, and I won't be able to come back to celebrate your birthday while I'm at school, so this money
Just take it and buy something you like when the time comes.
For example, food, drink, and beautiful new clothes or new shoes and socks. If you can't use them all, you can save them for later when you need them."
The little girl nodded, but her tears kept flowing down. Xiang Jin wiped them away one after another, "Okay, stop crying. Am I still your sister?"
The little girl choked and said, "But you won't go home again?! It will be difficult for me to see you again in the future!"
Xiang Jin consoled him, "How could it be? I will still visit my grandparents, uncles and aunts in the future, and I will also go back to see Aunt Liao, Grandma Mo, and Grandpa Zeng. Won't we see each other again then?"
"
"Next year, next year you will be admitted to college. Then, it will be even harder for me to see you," the little girl cried out of breath.
Xiang Jin said, "Xiang Lan, there is no endless banquet in the world. Each of us has to grow up, and then leave our loved ones to run our own future and live our own life. You see, these spring, summer, autumn and winter, the four seasons
Reincarnation also changes according to such a law.
The small tree gradually grew up, and then its branches and leaves became prosperous, stretching in different directions in all directions. They continued to grow with the trunk, and then they became farther away from the trunk, and even some branches and leaves remained between them for a lifetime.
They won't intersect.
In fact, this person is also the same. When we were children, we grew up with our parents and met people at home every day. But as we grew up and went to school, we grew up with family members.
People will spend less and less time together.
For example, when we were in elementary school, we were studying and attending classes in school during the day, so we could only stay with our families in the morning and evening.
But when we are in junior high school, if we live on campus, it will take two weeks to see our families. When we are in high school, it may take a month or more to see our families.
If we are admitted to school in the future, such as a secondary school, a technical secondary school or a university, we will have to study further away, and it may take half a year or even a year before we see our families.
For example, some people who study abroad will not see their family members until several years. When we work, we will only see our family members during the holidays or every few years.
Look at the sons, daughters-in-law, and grandsons of Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng. It takes several years for them to see their parents and grandparents.
The same goes for Aunt Liao's brother Xiang Yang, who hasn't been home for several years.
In fact, life is a process of loss and distance. It is the same for each of us, without exception. So, don't be so sad and sad. We have to adapt. No doubt we are just a little ahead of time.
Even if there is no blood relationship, as long as you recognize me as your sister, I will always be your sister and we will meet!"
Xiang Lan pouted and said, "Of course you are my sister! Even if my mother disowns you, I will always recognize you!"
Xiang Jin smiled slightly, pinched her cheek, and said, "Do you think you should keep the money yourself, or should you give it to your grandparents to keep for you?"
The little girl said, "I, I want to save it? I spent more than 100 yuan digging for medicinal materials and kept it with my grandma. I think my pocket money is almost enough."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay, then you can ask grandma or your two cousins to accompany you to save money?"
"Yeah!" The little girl nodded.
Then Xiang Jin asked, "Oh, by the way, your brother Yan Chen and I will be going back soon. Do you want to come with us?"
The little girl said a little stubbornly, "I won't go back, I will stay at my grandparents' house!"
Xiang Jin was speechless. As expected, a brat is a brat, so he pinched his round face again and said, "Aren't you saying something angry? Come on, don't be in trouble with your mother. I tell you, if you
If you continue to be so angry and awkward with your mother, believe it or not, your mother will not give you any money due to her petty character.
The reason why I didn't take that shop back from her is because you are still young and are not yet capable of earning money to support yourself, so I gave you a guarantee.
How can you be so dishonest and ruin all my good intentions for nothing!"
"You, you said that shop was reserved for me?" The little girl suddenly became very excited.
"What else? Your mother treats me badly? And the shop is so profitable? Why don't I take it back and hire someone to run it? That's not because of you, a little girl!
If I take that shop back, what will your mother do then? She will have to come back to farm again! How much money can you make from farming?
If that time comes, according to your mother's selfish, greedy and extreme temperament, she may not be very generous to you by then, and she may even restrict your reading of books.
So you can't be angry with her anymore. You have to go back and build a good relationship with her and keep the property I left for you.
Let me tell you, your mother has nearly 300,000 yuan in bank deposits, and now there are hundreds of dollars in bank deposits at the shop every day.
Ouyang Weiwei doesn't want to go back to her. If you continue to ignore her, be careful that she will become petty and find someone to remarry her and have a child. Then all her thoughts will be devoted to her.
If it's on that newborn child, then you won't have any share of the money at all. Have you forgotten about Wang Fugui's son?"
Xiang Lan was stunned for a while, and then became nervous after being told by Xiang Jin.
Xiang Jin comforted her again and said, "But don't worry, your mother may not be able to think about finding a new partner at the moment. Your mother wants to die. You can't imitate your mother's death. You have to be tactful when you should be tactful."
, you have to be smart when you should be smart, you don’t have to be beautiful, but you can’t be stupid, you know?”
The little girl nodded solemnly, "Yes, I understand, sister!"
Xiang Jin felt a little guilty. Originally, she shouldn't have taught Xiang Lan these things, but she just couldn't let go of that girl Yang Juyun, and it seemed like her grandparents couldn't control her.
She had a kind heart to make plans for the little girl's future life, but she must not let her plan end in vain. In that case, her plan would be at a huge loss, so even if she knew that it would not work,
She might as well give this little girl a little boost!
This girl is not stupid, and is quite shrewd. Now she knows how to deal with her mother, and she can rest assured.
In this way, even if they never see each other again, the little girl's material life can be guaranteed. In this way, they have been sisters for several years!
"Sister?!" Suddenly, Xiang Lan called her.
"Huh?!" Xiang Jin responded.
The little girl said, "I want to stay at grandma's house for two more days."
"It's up to you! Just make your own decision! I won't interfere with you," Xiang Jin said.
"Um!"
Following the two sisters back to the next room, the expressions on her grandparents' faces had improved a lot. Then Xiang Jin walked up to Yan Chen and said to him, "Shall we go back?"
"Okay," Yan Chen nodded slightly and then stood up.
Xiang Jin told her grandparents that they wanted to go back, and her grandparents naturally persuaded them to stay.
Xiang Jin said with a sincere face, "I won't stay any longer. Uncle Tao is going back to the provincial capital tomorrow. I plan to go back and prepare some food for him on the road tomorrow, while Yan Chen has something to tell him when he goes back."
In addition, we still have a lot of summer homework to do. I guess we have to do the questions every day, and we may not be able to finish them even if we go to make up for the lessons on the day.
So grandpa and grandma, we’re going back, and I’ll come see you next time when I’m free!”
After hearing this, her grandparents could only agree. Xiang Jin waved to her cousins and then walked out of the courtyard with Yan Chen.
Yang Zhao hurriedly took out the fish and handed it to Xiang Jin and the others. Xiang Jin did not refuse his kindness and took the fish in the basin. Yan Chen opened the back compartment of the car and put it in.
Xiang Jin and Yan Chen followed them into the car, and Xiang Jin's grandparents kicked her out. Then Xiang Jin and her grandmother leaned towards the car window and told her, "Girl Jin?!"
"grandmother?!"
"Girl Jin, since your parents over there want you to go back, just acknowledge them, ah? Grandma can see that they really want you to go back, and they also really want to treat you well.
If they mention you again in the future, don't refuse them again, eh? Grandpa and grandma also sincerely hope that you can be loved by more people."
Her grandfather also nodded towards her.
Seeing the sincere reluctance in their eyes, Xiang Jin nodded, "I know, grandma!"
"Oh, oh, let's go, ah? Xiaochen, drive slower on the road, ah?" Her grandmother waved to them.
"Oh, okay, Grandma Yang!" After saying that, Yan Chen started the motorcycle, and the whole family waved to Xiang Jin and the others, and Xiang Jin stuck his head out the window and waved to them.
After the car drove far away, tears rolled out of Xiang Jin's grandmother's eyes again, "What a good child, but we lost it after all!"
Xiang Jin and her grandfather also sighed, "Oh, let's go, go back?!"
Yang Zhao supported his breast and walked into the house. The other children also had dark and sad faces.
When the whole family returned to the house, Xiang Jin and her grandmother waved to them, "Okay, you all can play your own thing!"
The juniors all exited their room. After a while, Xiang Lan entered their room again. The two elders were confused, and then her grandmother asked her, "What's the matter, girl Lan?"
Xiang Lan handed her grandmother the few hundred yuan her sister had given her before she left, "Grandma, this is what my sister just got for me. She said she would buy it for my birthday in a few months."
I have some things, but I think I won’t use them, so I want to save them. Grandma, can you accompany me to the bank to save them tomorrow?”
Her grandparents were startled, and then her grandmother took the money and opened it to count, "Your sister gave you so much?"
"Yeah!" Xiang Lan nodded.
Her grandma also nodded, "Okay, I will go to the street tomorrow and grandma will accompany you to save money! But girl Lan, your mother is not good at being a human being. You must not imitate your mother. No matter whether your sister is with us or not."
Blood relationship, she is your sister and will always be your sister, do you understand?"
Xiang Lan nodded vigorously, "Yes, I know, grandma!"
"Okay, don't cry, don't cry? We must always remember how well your sister treats us. If you don't remember the kindness others have shown you, then you are no different than an animal!"
"Well! Don't worry, grandma, I will never forget my sister's kindness to me, never!" The little girl nodded vigorously again.
"Good boy, good boy! Come, come, come to grandma," the old lady waved to her.
Xiang Lan came closer, and then the two mothers-in-law and grandson hugged each other and started crying together.
After the car drove onto the road, Yan Chen asked Xiang Jin, "To be honest, your appearance is different from that of the old Xiang family and the old Yang family. Have you ever doubted that you are not their child?"
Xiang Jin said, "I doubted it, but then I denied it. According to Yang Juyun's timid and fearful character, and the strong and unreasonable temperament of Lao Xiang's family, I think this kind of thing should not happen to me.
Otherwise, the people of Lao Xiang's family would have made trouble long ago.
But they never mentioned my appearance as a problem, so I guess it’s not the case. I thought maybe I was inherited from one generation or several generations, and maybe they had good-looking people in their ancestors!”
Yan Chen said, "I had doubts!"
"Have you ever doubted it?" Xiang Jin was surprised.
Yan Chen nodded, "Well, I have doubted that no matter how much inheritance is passed between generations, there will still be some shadow of the appearance of the two people. But I saw that you get along with them so harmoniously and beautifully, so I never followed him.
You said, I think maybe you don't mind this."
Xiang Jin said, "I really don't mind these things, but I didn't expect the result to be like this."
Yan Chen turned his head and glanced at her, comforting, "Don't worry about it, since some things are destined to be missed, then stop being persistent and reluctant!"
Xiang Jin said, "I'm not persistent or forced. It's not like I can't live without someone else?!"
Yan Chen smiled and said, "Yes, our Xiang Jin is very capable, and everyone can live well without her!"
Xiang Jin snorted, "Why do you need to say that?!"
