As far as she could remember, she had never seen her grandmother in the Yung family, and she had never heard her dad mention her grandmother.
When she was young, she was also curious about how her grandparents were gone, but her dad never answered her, he just stroked her head and showed a look that she couldn’t read at the time.
Only later, when she grew up, did she understand that the look in her father’s eyes was sadness and grief.
She was curious as to why her dad would look so sad when he mentioned her grandparents, so she secretly looked into it and later found out that after the Rong family went bankrupt for the first time, her grandparents were forced to die by the debt collectors.
No wonder dad was reluctant to mention this matter every time, and every time he did, he was so sad.
She had never felt the love from her grandparents’ generation since she was a child, and it was only after she married into the Fu family that she felt the love from her grandmother for the first time, so kind and warm.
Now Gu Yaotian suddenly mentioned her real grandmother, which also made her a little curious, what was her real grandmother like, was she a kind old woman like Fu Jingting’s grandmother?
Seeming to see the thoughts in Rong Shu’s mind, Gu Yaotian returned with a gentle expression, “Your grandmother she is actually a very majestic person.”
Rongshu was slightly stunned.
Majestic?
She was not someone as kind and gentle as Fu Jingting’s grandmother.
Fu Jingting stroked Rong Shu’s hair, “This point is correct, Mrs. Gu is indeed the most majestic old lady, although her grandmother looks gentle and kind, she is just as majestic when facing important matters.
Rongshu nodded her head, “I know.”
She had seen how serious her grandmother was when it came to serious matters.
“And Old Madam Gu, she’s even more majestic than grandmother, I’ve met her old lady a few times, every time I see her, her expression is unsmiling, she looks quite a scary old lady.”
“What Mr. Fu said is right, but it’s not right either.” Gu Yaotian shook his head slightly, “Shushu, although your grandmother looks like this on the surface, she is actually a gentle and kind person on the inside, when your grandmother was young, she was a young lady from a big family, because of that era, she suffered severe hardships, that’s why she became unsmiling, but in fact, in private, she still shows her soft side, and your grandmother is good at Embroidery, many of her embroidery works were included in the national museum, and many were also sent as national gifts to build diplomatic relations, and your grandmother had a rule as a person, that is, she never embroidered for the family you, but after you were born, she broke this rule.”
Something instantly came to Rongshu’s mind and blurted out, “Swaddling clothes”
“That’s right.” Gu Yaotian saw that she knew this and smiled even more kindly, “Your grandmother broke her own rule in order to welcome your birth and embroidered a swaddling blanket for you, when you were taken away, you were wrapped in this swaddling blanket at that time, that was your grandmother’s stitch by stitch, it took ten months to embroider it for you personally, at that time she was already seventy years old, her eyes were no longer working and had long At that time, she was already seventy years old, her eyes were already failing, and she had already stopped embroidering.
This was something that Rong Shu did not deny.
Although she could not embroider, she knew how difficult embroidery was.
A palm-sized purse would take two to three months to embroider if one were to use the most skilled embroidery craft, let alone a swaddling cloth that big.
“Then she.”
It seemed to know what Rong Shu was going to ask, Gu Yaotian sighed, “Your grandmother wanted to use that swaddling clothes after you were born, so she stayed up all night every other day and finally finished embroidering the swaddling clothes after you were born, but she also collapsed because of it and became very ill, her health is not very good anymore, and her eyes are almost completely blind.”
Rongshu’s pupils contracted, “How? How could this happen?”
At this moment, Rong Shu couldn’t say how hard it was to feel in her heart.
She had never met the old lady of the Gu family and had no impression of her before that, when she heard Fu Jingting say that this old lady did not smile and was very majestic.
She had thought that this old lady was a very mean and heartless person, and that it was not because of this old lady that Gu Yaotian would be so bad.
But now, hearing what the old lady had done for herself, she suddenly didn’t dare to think so.
An old lady, risking serious illness and blindness, staying up all night to embroider swaddling clothes for her soon-to-be-born granddaughter, just by this alone, she could tell that this old lady, was definitely not what she thought she was.
On the contrary, she was really what Gu Yaotian had said, an old lady who looked mean on the outside, but was actually a soft and kind old lady on the inside.
That swaddling cloth was that old lady’s greatest blessing and best gift to her, her granddaughter.
Rongshu lowered her eyes and clenched her fists, her heart very sad, “What about afterwards? Is she she well?”
Gu Yaotian shook his head, “No, after she collapsed, her health got worse and worse, she was often bedridden, but that’s normal, she suffered too much in her younger years because of her status, her body had collapsed long ago, it was a miracle that she was able to last until she was in her seventies before she collapsed completely, in fact your grandmother knew very well that her health was dying, that’s why she worked so hard to swaddle you. Because she didn’t want to lose her one day and not even have a gift ready for her granddaughter.”
Rongshu bit her lip, “I I don’t deserve her at all do I?”
“Don’t say that.” Fu Jingting gently patted her shoulder, “To Old Madam Gu, you are her granddaughter, the continuation of her bloodline and her most anticipated offspring, everything about you is worth it in her eyes, otherwise she wouldn’t have fought so hard, you are in her heart, the best there is.”
“Mr. Fu is right.” Gu Yaotian also nodded his head, “Your grandmother she is incredibly looking forward to your birth, ever since your mother got pregnant with you, I have often seen a smile on your grandmother’s face, you should know that before that, your grandmother had not smiled for almost ten years, and your grandmother also knows that her health is not working, she might not be able to do it one day, that’s why she is doing this, and you should not feel sorry for your grandmother. ”
Rongshu closed her eyes and a tear ran down her face, it was for that, old lady who she had never met but loved her very much.
“You just said that I look like her, is that true?” Rongshu’s eyes were red as she looked at Gu Yaotian.
Gu Yaotian hmmed, “Really, I don’t have to lie to you, your side face is exactly like your grandmother’s, by the way, I still have the photo here.”
Saying that, Gu Yaotian took his phone and tapped it a few times, “This is the picture of your grandmother before she was born, do you want to take a look?”
Rongshu’s mouth opened, not knowing whether she should look or not.
Because she had never seen this old lady before, first she suddenly wanted to look at her photos, she suddenly didn’t have the courage or the guts to do so.
“Take a look.” Fu Jingting looked at Rong Shu, “Old Madam Gu is different from them, she has pure love for you and has not hurt you, you should take a look.”
Rongshu was moved by the words and walked towards Gu Yaotian.
Or rather, she actually wanted to look at it within herself, it was just that there were too many grudges in between, making her unsure of what to do.
But at this time there was someone who stood up for her, so naturally she knew exactly what to choose.
