Mr. Su's Love Investigation Report
Chapter 198 Nothing Left for You

Chapter 198: Chapter 198 Nothing Left for You

She was full of tears, walked to the door, and opened it.

He was leaning against the wall, the bright hallway light shining down as he suddenly turned around, staring at her, his pupils suddenly dilated.

She knew he misunderstood, shook her head, and choked up, "Grandma asked you to come in."

He obviously breathed a sigh of relief, but that face was already so white it was hard to look at.

He went in, changing places with Tu Hengsha as he came out.

The door closed slightly, and Tu Hengsha leaned against the spot where he had been standing. Bangbangtang somehow drilled its way out and obediently lay at her feet; Sister Qian was also sitting nearby.

Sister Qian hadn’t worked with the Xu family for long, but people are not plants; Grandma Xu was an especially kind person, good to everyone. Now that she’s fallen like this, who wouldn’t feel heartbroken seeing it?

"Sister Qian, how did Grandma fall?" Tu Hengsha couldn’t understand; in the courtyard, even if she fell, she wouldn’t have fallen to this extent.

Sister Qian wiped the corner of her eye, "Actually, I don’t know. A few days ago, the furniture store sent a batch of new furniture, Mr. Su replaced everything inside and out in the room. Grandma Xu even cut paper flowers. I asked her if Mr. Su was getting married. She jovially said yes and asked me if proposing in this Chinese-style room would be too old-fashioned, and whether young people prefer foreign things. Later, a rich lady came. Listening to their conversation, it seemed like she was Mr. Su’s biological mother. She took Grandma away, and afterward, I heard Grandma fell and was in the hospital."

"But why get discharged?"

Sister Qian sighed, "Elders feel their final moments. We have a saying in our hometown, elders are most afraid of falling. Each fall is worse than the last. The doctor also said it was serious this time, mentioning some kind of hemorrhagic shock, too long, her organs all failed. Grandma wanted to come back, probably not wanting to pass in the hospital..."

Tu Hengsha’s nose tingled, and she couldn’t help but cry again.

Sister Qian was also crying, pointing to the row of hanging persimmons in the yard, "A few days ago, we bought a whole basket of them together. She peeled them one by one and hung them up, saying that her own hung persimmons were cleaner than those bought outside, making them for you and Mr. Su to eat. Timing it, they should frost tomorrow..." As Sister Qian spoke, she began to sob.

Tu Hengsha looked at the rows of hanging persimmons in the yard, like small lanterns, hung in a long line like a curtain, golden under the light; she had been in such a hurry she hadn’t noticed them on the way in.

Bangbangtang whimpered twice at her feet, and Sister Qian stroked its fur more sadly, "When nothing had happened, Bangbangtang would jump up all day trying to bite the persimmons. Grandma and I had to chase it every day. Today, even Bangbangtang behaved, lying quietly here, not causing any trouble, not even playing with the persimmons..."

Tu Hengsha couldn’t hold it back anymore and covered her mouth, crying.

The night wind blew by, swaying the hanging persimmons, making the courtyard appear even emptier.

"When did Yueyue and the others move out?" Only then did Tu Hengsha remember about Fan Yue moving house.

"I don’t know, I was at the hospital every day back then, guarding. When I got back today, they were gone, moved out quickly. You can ask Mr. Su; he would know for sure." Sister Qian sighed, "A while back, the courtyard was still lively..."

It was late at night, the autumn chill biting. Tu Hengsha crouched down, hugging Bangbangtang into her embrace; Bangbangtang snuggled closer, burrowing deeper into her arms.

Keeping each other warm.

In the room, Su Ronggui bowed down, holding Grandma’s hand.

"Gugu..." Grandma’s voice was even weaker than when she spoke to Tu Hengsha earlier, "Grandma... has nothing to leave you... Your mother always thought I still had some money saved for you... When your grandfather left... he did leave me with an inheritance... but... Grandma can’t give it to you... You mustn’t blame Grandma..."

He pressed his forehead to Grandma’s hand, closing his eyes, his shoulders gently trembling. He wanted nothing, only wished Grandma would stay...

"That money... twenty years ago... I spent it all... donated it to... Little Sha’s father... our old hometown village... built a school, a road... sort of... sort of as redemption for your father... Over the years, my savings and salary... I would send a part of it every month... the village distributed it to the families of those old... patients, so... apart from this house... Grandma couldn’t leave you anything... Gugu... you understand Grandma, don’t you?"

He held Grandma’s hand tighter, nodding, "Understood... Grandma! I did the same! Once I started working, I sent part of my salary over every month, though it wasn’t much..."

Grandma Xu was greatly comforted, "Grandma knows... You’re a good child... You are... the good child of the Xu family... unlike your... father... led astray by money... Your father went early... Grandma was very distressed... he was the flesh and blood fallen from Grandma... But... even though Little Sha’s father burdened your father’s life... your father... wasn’t he also burdened with others’ lives? So many workers... eventually died from... this disease... Blame me for... not teaching your father well... letting him stray further as he grew... Grandma... now... will go down... to your grandfather to atone... Grandma... let down your grandfather’s last wishes..."

"Grandma..." He knew he couldn’t keep Grandma, it was just a matter of time, choked with words he couldn’t speak.

"Silly child, don’t be sad..." Grandma Xu gently soothed his hair, "Everyone has a day like this... Grandma feels comforted that... you’ve grown up... and grown so well... so distinguished... with upright morals... Grandma would have something to say in front of Grandpa..."

"Grandma! Tell me! What really happened that day?" He collected himself, unwilling and asked.

"It was Grandma herself... who wasn’t careful... Grandma is old... unstable on her feet..."

Grandma Xu had told this explanation three times already; he didn’t believe it but couldn’t get anything more.

"Gugu..." Grandma Xu sighed, "Promise Grandma, don’t hate her... She had a hard time in the Su family... though her methods were extreme... she’s still your mother... No mother wouldn’t love her own son in the world... Otherwise... she wouldn’t have insisted on bringing you into the Su family... The past is already past... You can let go of your grudges with the Tu family... don’t be fixated on this matter anymore... Aging and growing... are irreversible natural laws... One day, Grandma’s generation will turn to dust... You all still have a long way to walk... Grandma hopes you have no burdens, untroubled, walk freely and happily... Grandma will be watching from above... and be at peace..."

"Grandma..." he choked on pain.

Grandma looked at him, her trembling hand gently caressing him, from hair to ear, to cheek, to nose, all the way to his neck, meticulously touching, "Alright, Grandma has said too much; I’m tired... I want to rest a while..."

"Grandma! Don’t sleep... don’t sleep..." he grasped Grandma’s hand in panic.

Grandma smiled lightly, "Just a little nap, just a while..."
