TGDS Chapter 57.5

Good Dad System (Arc 7) Chapter 57.5: After Being Abducted (25)

“What nonsense are you talking about!” Grandma Feng felt uncomfortable when she heard this. Back then, Grandma Pei was so strong. She took the bus and walked every day. She bought ten kilograms of vegetables by herself and walked back without breathing. She was in better health than young people. But now? She looked at the crutches that Grandma Pei placed in front of her. She couldn’t even walk without the crutches!

“Not nonsense.” Grandma Pei stopped what she was doing. She turned on the TV every day. In fact, she had no idea what was on TV, but if she didn’t listen, her mind would be filled with Yuanyuan calling her grandma. Sometimes, even when a child cried on TV, she would tremble in her heart. “Old people like us are not healthy anymore. If we get sick in the future, wouldn’t it be a waste of time for the children if we live?”

What she was most proud of in her life was that she was a capable person. Her husband passed away early, and she raised her son alone until he became a doctor and a talented person. After retirement, she lived a good life on her own without having to rely on others for a living or being a burden to others. But she didn’t expect that when she was old, she would become a troublemaker, abandoning her grandson and making her son and daughter-in-law unable to even laugh at home.

“Old sister, you can’t think like that.” Grandma Feng tried to persuade them. The most feared thing for old people like them is the loss of the desire to live psychologically. This may sound a bit metaphysical, but Grandma Feng knows that many people will have all kinds of problems once they don’t want to live. “Listen to me, if something happens to you, your family will be in trouble in spring and autumn. It’s really terrible! You have to live a good life. Aren’t you still waiting for your Yuanyuan?”

Grandma Pei’s hand was stabbed hard by the knitting needle, but she seemed to feel nothing and said in a cold voice: “I can’t wait any longer. Even if Yuanyuan comes back, he shouldn’t recognize me as a harmful grandma. I want to die early. Ah Feng, life is too hard, don’t you know that?”

“I know.” Grandma Feng had tears in her eyes. Others might not know, but how could she not know? She herself had a little granddaughter. Once, she didn’t blow the food cold before feeding her. Her tongue was covered with blisters. She was so angry that she wanted to break her hands. What’s more, Grandma Pei had lost her grandson?

“If you know, just leave me alone.” Grandma Pei continued to knit sweaters. After she finished knitting these things, she didn’t want to keep them anymore. “I’m tired. I’m really tired.”

If she had heard these words at other times, Grandma Feng might have started to wipe away her tears, but today, she had a special mission. Thinking of Pei Naochun’s phone call last night, she felt that she couldn’t let the old sisters go on like this –

Just last night, Pei Naochun called her. She had watched Naochun grow up and treated him like her own child. Naochun told her that Yuanyuan was found, and she jumped for joy. Before she could be happy for him for a while, she heard Naochun’s heavy voice on the other end. He said that he was afraid that bringing the child back like this would upset Grandma Pei, whose heart had not been in good condition for the past two years. He was taking a flight today, so he asked her to come and help take care of Grandma Pei, so that the child would not come into the house directly and shock Grandma Pei and scare Yuanyuan.

“Where is your heart-saving pill?” Grandma Feng suddenly asked, looking around.

“Here.” Grandma Pei took it out directly from her pocket. To her, the heart-saving pills were like sugar pills. She would take some when her heart was uncomfortable, and she always carried them with her – she felt a tightness in her chest almost every time she thought of Yuanyuan.

“Give it to me first.” Grandma Feng took the heart-saving pill and held it tightly in her hand, ready for the first step. “Please sit down. I have something important to tell you.”

“What?” Grandma Pei was helpless and sat back a little. “Go ahead.”

“Naochun called me last night…” She swallowed and spoke first.

“Yeah, I know. He and my daughter-in-law went to post advertisements again.” Thinking of this, Grandma Pei felt sad again. The expression on her face was not good. The most painful thing was that their family often felt hopeless, but they had to tell themselves to have hope. Every time the couple went out to post advertisements, they would not call home to report their safety. It was not that they were unfilial, but… both parties would be touched by sad things. She felt a little strange. Why would her son call Ah Feng for no reason?

“Take it in your hand first, and take it when you feel uncomfortable.” Grandma Feng followed the instructions and poured the corresponding amount of medicine into Grandma Pei’s hand. She carefully observed her expression and decided to tell her everything in one breath. There is a hospital next to the community. If anything happens, it will be quick to call 120. “Naochun told me that Yuanyuan has been found.”

Oh, looking for Yuanyuan… Wait, Grandma Pei stood up all of a sudden, not even having to support herself with the chair like usual; “What did you say, Yuanyuan was found?”

“Take the medicine first. Just listen to me and take the medicine!”

Grandma Pei swallowed the medicine in one gulp without saying anything. She was very good at taking medicine. She thought that this was also an advantage: “I’ve taken it. Tell me what you mean.”

As she got older, her speaking speed inevitably slowed down. Seeing the urgency and nervousness in the old sisters’ eyes, Grandma Feng responded at almost the fastest speed in the past few years: “Naochun told me that they are not posting a missing person advertisement this time. The police notified them that Yuanyuan has been found. They have already picked up Yuanyuan and will be back today.”

“Say it again.” Grandma Pei grabbed Grandma Feng, her body trembling.

“Do you want to take some more medicine?” Grandma Feng was a little worried.

“No, I’m fine now, really fine, I just want to hear you say it again.”

Grandma Feng took a deep breath: “Naochun…” She realized that this was a bit long-winded, and concluded, “Your Yuanyuan is coming home today. He has been found.”
