Chapter 943: 230: The Truth Emerging from the Surface_3
She still had some money on her, didn’t she?
Even in her decline, she wouldn’t have become like this, right?
Liu’s father turned his head to look at Ni Yang, and then at the sedan on Ni Yang’s left, his eyes growing complicated.
The ring she’s wearing is a Liu Family heirloom...
Perhaps even the money for buying the car was...
This possibility was indeed high.
After all, this is merely a rural place, where could a countrywoman like Ni Yang get the money to buy a car?
Her sedan was imported and would cost at least a hundred and several tens of thousands!
Ni Yang continued, "Grandma Liu is inside right now, uncle and auntie, please come in with me."
Liu’s father nodded nonchalantly, "Sure. Wentang, Xiaoqi, Xiaoru, let’s go in quickly."
Ni Yang went to knock on the door, "Grandma Liu, Grandma Liu, we’re here."
"Coming." Grandma Liu responded, opening the door.
To welcome relatives from afar, Grandma Liu specially put on new clothes that Ni Yang had bought for her not long ago.
The Liu Family still kept photos of Grandma Liu from when she was young; thus, Jiu Wentang recognized Grandma Liu instantly and rushed forward to take her hand, "Big sister."
"Great Aunt!" Liu Ru, following Jiu Wentang’s gaze, embraced Grandma Liu tightly, choking out, "Great Aunt! Great Aunt, we’ve finally found you! You have no idea how much suffering our family has gone through looking for you all these years! Great Aunt!"
Grandma Liu looked at the mother and daughter with tear-filled eyes, her mind filled with confusion.
Her little brother was only two years younger than her, and his wife was even a year older than him. How could this woman, who was thirty or forty years younger than herself, possibly be her sister-in-law?
No.
They must have mistaken her for someone else.
Grandma Liu pushed Liu Ru directly away, "Young girl, you’ve got the wrong person, I’m not your Great Aunt," she said, then looking up at Jiu Wentang, "And you, young lady, I don’t know you! I don’t have a younger sister as young as you."
Liu Ru had also seen Grandma Liu from the old photos, she paused, never expecting Grandma Liu would push her away.
This was very different from what she had imagined a family reunion to be like.
After so many years of separation, Grandma Liu should have been deeply moved to see them!
Why would she react like this?
Could it be that the old woman had become senile?
Or had Ni Yang stirred up something in the middle?
Liu Ru looked up at Ni Yang.
Jiu Wentang grabbed Grandma Liu’s hand again, "You are my big sister! I haven’t mistaken you! We wouldn’t make a mistake!"
"You really have the wrong person!" Grandma Liu shook off Jiu Wentang’s hand.
As Jiu Wentang stood there awkwardly, Liu’s father stepped forward, "Shuyue, it’s me."
At these words, Grandma Liu looked up, her pupils shrunk slightly, and memories that had been sealed away surged forth like floodwater through open gates, her nostrils flaring.
"Qin, Qinian!"
"It’s me!" Liu’s father had taken a few steps forward, wanting to reach out and embrace Grandma Liu, but seeing the environment behind her, he withdrew his hand and choked out, "Shuyue, it’s me!"
Time had aged them, and now they faced each other, unable to turn back the years.
Old friends reunited.
So much had changed in the world over the years.
"Qinian, where have you been all these years?" Grandma Liu immediately cried out, throwing her arms around Liu Qinian, "I thought you were dead! Qinian, I thought you were dead!"
Sixty years.
Every day she offered incense for Liu Qinian, never imagining that Liu Qinian was still alive.
He was still alive!
Grandma Liu even thought she might be dreaming. 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝔲𝔟.𝔠𝖔𝖒
"Shuyue, I’ve wronged you, I’ve deeply wronged you. I thought you were dead, I’m sorry, so sorry..."
Watching the two old people embracing each other, Ni Yang frowned slightly. Although Grandma Liu had recognized the person, she felt that there was something more complicated about this matter.
According to Liu Qi, Liu’s father should be called Liu Haoshan; why was he now called Liu Qinian?
Grandma Liu wept bitterly, "I thought you were dead too, heaven has eyes, Qinian, you’re still alive! You’re still alive!"
The most agonizing thing in the world is not death, but separation.
Had they known earlier that the other was alive, they wouldn’t have suffered as they did.
"Qinian, you’re still alive, but what about Big Brother and Second Brother? Are they still here?" Grandma Liu went on to ask.
Liu Qinian shook his head, "They’re gone..."
In such chaotic times, it was very difficult to survive; Liu Qinian was just one of the fortunate few.
Hearing this, Grandma Liu wept even more bitterly, continuously pounding on Liu Qinian’s back.
Jiu Wentang immediately came to the side of the two, her eyes red, "Big Sister, I’m sorry for all the suffering you’ve endured over the years. Let me and the children take good care of you from now on!"
