Chapter 374 The Truth of What Happened That Year
Luo Xuyuan was originally reading a book in the inner room when he heard his sister coming. He waited a long time for her to come in and check on him, but she didn’t. Instead, she was in the living room, telling Grandma that she wanted to feed both herself and Big Brother until they were plump and healthy, which was a scary thought.
Zhou Guifang, upon hearing her granddaughter’s words, also felt her heart soften and said, "Alright, you’re in charge now, so Grandma will give you the money."
Luo Qiao quickly stopped her: "No, no, no, Grandma, I have money, really. Not to mention my scholarship, there’s also quite a bit left from the red envelope you gave us last time. Besides, your granddaughter’s monthly income is way more than your pension."
Zhou Guifang asked curiously, "Where do you get your money from?"
Luo Qiao immediately broke into a smile and said, "From writing articles. My articles caught the attention of the newspapers and got published, so I get a sum of money every month. Plus, there’s the novel I’ve been writing.
"Don’t worry, from now on, wait to enjoy your blessings, both you and Grandpa. I’ll make up for all the years Big Brother and Second Brother have owed you. You’ve worked hard over these years, it’s time for you to enjoy some comfort."
Zhou Guifang’s eyes filled with tears, not daring to say more for fear Luo Qiao would see, she took the meat and turned to exit the door, saying as she walked, "Good, we’ll just wait to enjoy our good fortune."
The bitterness of twenty years turned into surging tears at that moment. When her two children were injured like that, Ning Xueling, in her grief, decided to let them fend for themselves.
The elder couple nearly broke off relations with their second son over this. At that time, Ning Xueling was pregnant with the third and fourth child, who were due in a couple of months, and the doctors said one would be paralyzed and the other a simpleton.
Ning Xueling couldn’t accept that her children had become like this, so he and her husband took the children back, and she retired early to take care of them.
