Chapter 268 The Sorrow of an Old Man

There's nothing or no one in this world that I can't let go of! If I had to say, I'd be a little worried about Laifu's situation.

I originally intended to entrust the little one to a junior colleague I trust. But the little one seems determined not to leave me at all!

As soon as I placed the little guy in my junior brother's arms, it immediately jumped into my arms. The little guy also knew that I might leave it one day, so it shed tears.

After much thought, I've decided it's best to entrust the little one to you! Because besides me, you're the person the little one is most attached to!

Hey! Godfather, what are you saying? I will definitely take good care of that little guy, Laifu. You don't need to worry too much.

Your most important task now is to restore your spirits! Once you've recovered to your former radiant self, I'll take you to Shenglong Street, which Long'er owns, for some fun, okay?

After hearing Yuqin say those words, the old abbot waved his hand at her.

No! Lately, they've been sending people to look for me, saying they need my help somewhere and that I need to go back and help as soon as possible.

I always tell them that I want to see you and your little sister one last time, so that I can leave this world in peace.

Waaaaah! But so many years have passed since my godfather's death, and we still haven't heard from my little sister. Do you think she might...?

No! You must believe that your little sister is still alive in this world; it's just that it's not convenient for her to meet you right now.

She has a very important matter to attend to right now, and you will meet her again once she has finished dealing with it.

This scene inevitably reminded Zhuzhu of her previous life, when Yiyao was about to pass away. Like this old abbot, she no longer spoke a word to us, her children.

When asked questions, she would either wave at them or simply ignore them. Only when video chatting with her great-granddaughter would she whisper, "Baby, be good."

This scene deeply moved the eldest daughter! Because at this time, Yiyao was already emaciated from illness. It was nearing the end of her life!

But Yiyao was still trying to comfort us, her children, in her own way. Perhaps she wanted to spend a little more time with her eldest granddaughter at the end of her life.

Actually, before, Yiyao wasn't as clingy to her eldest daughter as she was in her last month before she passed away. She kept insisting that Yiyao bring the baby home on weekends.

If we don't agree, she starts to throw a tantrum, knowing that the thing we want her to do most right now is to eat more.

So she used this to threaten her eldest daughter! If her eldest daughter didn't come back to be with her this weekend, she would never eat again.

When we, her children, heard Yiyao say those words, we immediately felt like the sky was falling. We quickly told our eldest daughter, who was working away from home, the news.

The eldest daughter also felt very helpless about this matter! Because she had already taken two days off from her company, plus the weekend, to take care of Yiyao.

It took four days in total. During these four days, the eldest daughter put aside everything else and took care of Yiyao wholeheartedly.

Not only that, but her eldest daughter's mother-in-law also lives with her in the same house. Her main task is to take care of the baby.

I remember when my baby was one or two years old, she wasn't very attached to my older daughter and preferred to be with her grandma. Maybe it's because she was raised by her grandma from a young age.

During that time, my eldest daughter and son-in-law would always come back, and as soon as they came back, they would immediately go to the countryside to be with Yiyao, and they rarely came to my house.

I remember one time when they came back to take care of Yiyao, it just so happened that I was hosting a dinner party. So my eldest daughter handed over the task of taking care of Yiyao to Jianlin and his later wife.

I also wanted to take this opportunity to rest properly, so I invited Jianying and Bingying's families, as well as Rousha, to my house for dinner.

But something that made everyone extremely angry happened! Not long after we finished eating, our eldest daughter received a call from Jianlin.

The eldest daughter was very angry because Jianlin said he was going out to dinner with his current wife that night. So there was no one at home to take care of Yiyao, and not only that, Yiyao hadn't eaten yet.

After telling her eldest daughter and the others to finish dinner quickly, she went upstairs. Her eldest daughter then told everyone about it after hanging up the phone.

So, not long after dinner, they set off for Xiawei again. My home is 20 kilometers away from Xiawei.

Since this incident, the eldest daughter has gradually developed a grudge against her stepmother. Perhaps it's because she didn't take good care of Yiyao during the time Yiyao was bedridden.

But Yi Yao did so many things for her when she was in good health! Perhaps that's why her eldest daughter was so furious?

But we all advised her to suppress this strong dissatisfaction. Because we all hoped that Yiyao would have a fulfilling time in the remaining days.

Nothing bad could affect her, so everyone was holding back their anger during that time.

I'm terrified that something might explode at any moment! But there's one person who seems to thrive on chaos! He loves to dance at everyone's emotional moments.

Not only that, she also frequently does things that infuriate Yiyao. Once Yiyao gets angry, she stops eating and drinking!

We daughters, seeing this scene, began to shed tears again. It just so happened that around that time, a group of elderly people, roughly the same age as Yiyao, passed away.

Every time we hear about this, we feel incredibly sad, especially after Jianlin suddenly told us, "Let's go! Let's go! I want to leave!"

The eldest daughter immediately sent a crying emoji in the group chat.

Yes! Who can truly accept the impending death of a loved one? What a devastating blow the passing of a family member is to someone still alive.

If Yiyao were to pass away, this family might fall apart. We are all extremely worried that this tragic scenario might occur.

The day after Yiyao passed away, my sisters and I had a huge argument about him in Jianying's car.

My youngest daughter, however, was very angry and told Jianying and the others that she would never be asked to go to the market again! Even if they asked her, she wouldn't go.

Because her beloved grandmother had passed away, there was no one left in the family that the youngest daughter would miss.

Perhaps it was fate! The portrait used at Yiyao's funeral was a photo taken many years ago of her youngest daughter embracing her as they sat in the hall.
