Steal Sheng

Chapter 38
"Old man, old lady, don't be sad, your precious granddaughter is not dead." Officer Liu helped the two elders to sit on the stool and said.

The second elder's tears were still on his cheeks. When he heard that Xiao Sheng was not dead, he grabbed Officer Liu's hand excitedly and said, "Comrade policeman, is what you said true? It's true! Our Sheng is not dead?"

"It's true, we saved her, she's in the hospital, just waking up."

"Great, great!" Wiping her tears, the old lady said to Xiao Lao beside her, "Old man, the police comrades said they saved our Sheng'er, and Sheng'er is not dead!"

"Well, I heard it, you are not dead! Don't cry, your eyes can't cry anymore!" Mr. Xiao helped the old lady wipe away her tears.

"Let's go to the hospital to see her together!" The old lady looked at Xiao Lao and nodded, then turned to look at Police Officer Liu and said, "We want to go to the hospital to see her, is that okay?"

"Yes! I will go with your son and daughter-in-law later. We are here today to take your son and daughter-in-law to the hospital. Your granddaughter said that she wants to see them and has something to say to them." Then Xiao Qiang came back.

"It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a disaster that can't be avoided! I said to treat Sheng'er a little bit better, but I didn't listen. Sheng'er is negotiating with his life this time!" Xiao Lao looked at the old lady and said, but in fact he said For everyone who is doing it.

Xu Ning's heart trembled violently when he heard "a little better" in Xiao Lao's words. Isn't Sheng'er just a little bit better in this family?What exactly did she go through that made her negotiate with her life?Xu Ning gritted his teeth and looked at Xiao Qiang and Hui Lan bitterly.

"Dad, what do you mean by that! It's as if we have abused her. Apart from making her read less books, we can't do anything to her." Xiao Qiang heard Xiao Lao's drunkenness. Don't care about wine.

"It doesn't matter if you study less, but you can't let a child like her go out to earn money to support our family, and you and Hui Lan eat, drink and have fun all day long. , you don’t make money and you don’t know the pain of making money, but you spend money like a rich man, even your little one is as virtuous as you.” Xiao Lao relied on the presence of a police officer today, and dared to confront his son , Usually he would not dare, as he is too old to withstand his beatings and tossing.

"What's wrong with earning money to support the family? Shouldn't it? Didn't you eat the carrots I hid when I was young?" Xiao Qiang suddenly growled.

"It was eaten when I didn't know it. What's more, didn't I plant a garden of carrots for you later? There are still carrots in Houshantou now! In those days, it was so difficult, and your mother and I tried our best to help you and Your sister arranges the best life, how can you say such a thing now? Sinister! What kind of evil did we do in our previous life!" Old Xiao tremblingly wiped his eyes.

"I just let her support the family, I didn't eat her, do you understand?" Xiao Qiang's roar stunned Xu Ning. It turned out that the cannibal incident that his sister mentioned was really a knot in his heart, but he misunderstood his parents For a lifetime, and he abused Xiao Sheng is a real existence.

"Listen, old woman, listen!" Elder Xiao said tremblingly, "Comrade police, take us to see our granddaughter! They should not go!"

"Why don't we go, I want to see what kind of tricks this bitch is up to?!" Xiao Qiang climbed into Xu Ning's car cursing, Hui Lan timidly followed behind and got into the car, Xu Ning and Officer Liu helped the two elders into the car, and said, "Old man and old lady, let's squeeze together in the back together!"

"It's okay! It's okay! I haven't built a car when I grow up so old. Today, I have been honored by my granddaughter, so I have to thank you two." The second elder hurriedly waved his hands and said.

"Xu Ning, drive!" Officer Liu glanced at Xu Ning and said, he nodded.

Xu Ning stepped on the gas, the car roared up, and the people in the rear seat inadvertently leaned forward. He glanced at the rearview mirror and the corner of his mouth twitched evilly.No one said a word along the way, each with their own doubts. After a sudden 'chi chi' sound, the car stopped abruptly, and the people in the back seat leaned forward again with an exclamation.

He smiled evilly, turned around and said, "He's at the hospital."

Bai Yu coaxed her for a long time before Xiao Sheng agreed to lie down and sleep for a while. Just as she fell asleep, she saw Xu Ning and the others coming in with her family. Looking back, her grandparents also came.He glanced at Xu Ning, Xu Ning nodded slightly at him, and he understood.

"She just fell asleep!" Bai Yu still couldn't bear to wake her up.

Xu Ning glanced at her and said to Bai Yu, "Scream!"

"Sheng'er, Sheng'er, your parents, grandparents are all here."

Hearing Bai Yu's cry, she suddenly opened her eyes, paused for a moment, then signaled Bai Yu to help her rock the bed.

"Grandpa and grandma, why are you here?"

"Silly girl, you are our precious granddaughter, you have such a big accident, how can we not come to see you!"

"Grandpa, grandma, you shouldn't be here. You will be sad when you hear what I'm going to say later."

"Girl! Grandpa and grandma know that your life has not been easy for so many years, and it is no more comfortable than grandpa and grandma used to live. We understand you, girl, and we are also at fault!"

"Grandpa, grandma!" Xiao Sheng's grandpa and grandson couldn't help crying together, Hui Lan on the side also sobbed, only Xiao Qiang stood there with a nonchalant expression.

Officer Liu and Xu Ning helped the elder to sit beside him, and motioned Xiao Sheng to speak up if he had something to say.She adjusted her mood a little bit and said: "I trouble Police Officer Liu and Teacher Xu Ning to invite the two of you here today, just to make things clear to you. I have lived as your puppet for the past 22 years. You blamed me because of your relationship problems, exploited me because of patriarchy; because girls were not allowed to go to school, you threw me out to work at the age of 16, and I was forced to grow up since I was seven." The more she said, the sadder she became. The more sad I said, the more I choked up in the end.

Everyone present, including Bai Yu and Xu Ning, were particularly surprised. No one could believe that this small girl in front of her had experienced so much pain and suffering that ordinary people could not bear since she was a child. Xu Ning's tooth powder was all ground out. Bai Yu also clenched his fists, his body trembling slightly.

She calmed down for a moment and then continued: "You say blood belongs to mother, bone belongs to father, and flesh belongs to flesh and blood, so I chose to return them all to you a few days ago. My current life is no longer yours. That’s right, it was given by Police Officer Liu, the People’s Police. If he hadn’t seen me in the water, what you see now is my dead body. So, from now on, I have nothing to do with you. One clean break, you are you, me, me."

She turned to Officer Liu and said, "Officer Liu, please give them the photos from when I was found in the water to when I was rescued in the emergency room. Also, give them the photo where I went into shock and stopped breathing. , Thank you Officer Liu."

Then she slowly turned her head to look at Xiao Qiang and Hui Lan, paused for a moment and said, "That pile of photos is your daughter's body, go back and bury it, or burn it, it doesn't matter!"

Xiao Qiang and Hui Lan staggered back a few steps. They tremblingly took the photos in Police Officer Liu's hands, and looked at the lifeless Xiao Sheng on them. A chill ran from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.Then I looked up at Xiao Sheng in front of me, so strange; yes, the one in the photo was my daughter Sheng'er, the one in front of me was no, no.The two of them took a bunch of photos and went out chattering.

The old Mr. and Mrs. Xiao who had been sitting on the side were also stunned. Xiao Sheng called out to them several times before they came back to their senses.

"I'm sorry, grandpa and grandma, I let you down." She suddenly got out of bed and kowtowed three times to her grandpa and grandma, and the three hugged together again and wept.

"Grandpa and grandma, you have to take care of your health. Sheng'er is grateful to grandpa and grandma for taking care of me, protecting me, and teaching me a lot of truths when I was young. Sheng'er will definitely come back secretly to see grandpa and grandma."

"Good boy, good boy! Don't worry about grandpa and grandma, just live well on your own. Be happy and happy from today on."

"Don't worry, grandpa and grandma, I will take good care of her and make her happy every day." Bai Yu saw the three of them crying and choked up, so he took the opportunity to appease them and told his story voice of the heart.

Xu Ning still stood there quietly looking at them, his eyes were full of affection, and his heart was bitter.After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the four of them gradually calmed down, and her grandparents entrusted her to Bai Yu.Bai Yu was naturally happy before it was too late, so he readily accepted, and Xiao Sheng nodded slightly as he agreed to his grandparents.Xu Ning looked at them, lowered his head and played with his fingers, and when he looked up again, he couldn't see any emotion, just looked at her with a smile on his face.

"Chuan'er was a good child when she was a child, she saved your mother," said the old lady, stroking her granddaughter's cheek.

"I know" She wanted to say more and saved Li Lansheng, but she swallowed it after thinking about it, so as not to embarrass her grandparents, not to mention that Li Lansheng's life itself was not her fault.Although I have been spoiled by so many years, so what?Education itself is deformed, and love is as embarrassing as not loving, otherwise, how could we be squatting in prison now!They are all poor people!
"Chuan'er, I think you have always been very kind to our family's Sheng'er. Grandma is someone who has been there, so she understands. You must like our family's Sheng'er, right?" Grandma asked Bai Yu tentatively.

Grandma's too blunt question made Bai Yu blush all of a sudden, recalling with a little embarrassment how he was rejected when he confessed.Xiao Sheng glanced at him, understood what he was thinking, then took grandma's words and said, "Grandma, I can take care of myself, so don't worry! Brother Bai Yu once taught me to sing, so I'm his student and also him." sister, because Mother Bai accepted me as a goddaughter."

Hearing what Xiao Sheng said, Bai Yu couldn't care less about being embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "Grandma, your eyes are really cruel. I have always liked Sheng'er. Don't worry, I will take care of her for the rest of my life, and I won't let her Suffer the slightest grievance."

"En! En! Good boy, good boy! Grandma and grandpa thank you first, and we will entrust our Sheng'er to you."

"Don't worry! I will take good care of her!"

After receiving Bai Yu's affirmative answer, grandpa and grandma got up and came to Xu Ning: "Xu Ning, thank you too, uncle and aunt! We can see that you are no less kind to Sheng'er than Chuan'er, although we know you are It’s because I love my nephew that I’m kind to Sheng’er, but we still have to thank you.”

Xu Ning opened his mouth and looked at the two elders, then glanced at his own Xiao Sheng and Bai Yu; he wanted to say that he was kind to Sheng'er not because of Bai Yu, but because he couldn't help wanting to treat Sheng'er Okay, but the words came to his lips and swallowed back.He knew she couldn't say that, whether it was because of Bai Yu or himself.They treat themselves and Bai Yu with different names. They treat Bai Yu who calls himself grandpa and grandma, and treat him who calls himself uncle and aunt. How could he say outrageous things about loving Xiao Sheng.

Bai Yu watched him stand blankly without speaking, and he knew his uncle's heart clearly like a mirror in his heart. Although he was jealous, he was very moved and grateful to him.

"Uncle." He called softly.

"Oh! Well, I should, as an elder! It's right to care about the younger generation, not to mention that our family Bai Yu likes Sheng'er so much." Bai Yu's cry pulled back his wandering thoughts. Even if I don't want to face such a problem anymore, I still have to face it, and said with a simple smile.

"Mmm! Hmm! Good children, all good children! The Bai family taught well!" The old lady patted Mr. Xiao, "Old man, the Bai family taught well! Our Xiao family is ashamed!"

The shame in the old lady's heart is not about the Xiao family. She is mainly ashamed of herself. She brought up a pair of children with her own hands. She wanted to make their family happy. The one who is desperate, the one who refuses to go to school, and the other couple who spend their whole day looking for fun, playing casinos and casinos; the remaining one just gets by every day.The Xiao family is a descendant of scholars, and he is the daughter of the Yi family. The son complained about a carrot when he was a child. Did he know that if the carrot was not given to his father, the old man would have died at that time.How can there be everyone who is alive now? In those days, once the man in the family died, it was so easy for a woman to support two children!One of the child's carrots saved the father's life. The parents were moved, sad, and distressed, so they risked all kinds of dangers to ask the mother's family for a bag of carrot seeds, which he secretly planted in Houshantou.
