C430 Sister-brother Relationship
Soong Shiyan and Xiaohu stood in front of the lonely grave with a solemn expression on their faces.
"Grandmother, I've come to see you …." she whispered in a choked voice.
"Ms Soong, is this Grandma?" With bloodshot eyes, Xiaohu pointed at the tomb and said to Soong Shiyan with a sad expression.
Soong Shiyan's eyes turned slightly red when she heard that. She looked at Xiaohu, squatted down and said to him softly, "This is only Grandma's body. After her death, the people of the neighborhood buried her here — though her grandmother was dead, her soul had gone to heaven. "
Xiaohu's eyes turned even redder. He looked at Soong Shiyan and wiped away his tears, swallowing a bit as he said, "Ms Soong, don't lie to me anymore — the kindergarten teacher already told us that there are no ghosts in this world. We should believe in science and not in the words of ghosts and gods. Thus, Grandmother did not go up in the sky, nor did she stay up in the sky to watch me. "
Hearing this, Soong Shiyan was momentarily at a loss for words. Because, she didn't expect Xiaohu to know so much. However, she still squeezed out a smile and said to Xiaohu: "Xiaohu, if there are no ghosts, gods, or souls in this world, then why would Ms Soong possess another person's body? Since Ms Soong can be reborn, then you can also believe that grandmother's soul will be watching over us from the heavens. "
Xiaohu thought for a while before saying, "Seems so. Since Ms Soong can be revived, even if Grandma can't be reborn, at least she can watch over me from the sky."
Soong Shiyan nodded gratefully and said to Xiaohu, "Yeah, so Xiaohu, you have to grow up happy and healthy — that's the only way Grandma can be at ease in the sky."
"Yes, I got it. Ms Soong, don't worry. I will definitely grow up strong and not let grandma worry about me!"
"Yo, Xiaohu is back?" A woman's voice sounded from not far away.
Hearing that, Xiaohu turned his head and looked at the figure not far away. He was a little surprised as he shouted, "Auntie Tang —"
Soong Shiyan took a closer look and realized that this woman was exactly the same woman she had met the last time she paid her respects to her grandmother. The woman carried her hoe and walked over. She said to Xiaohu: "Xiaohu, where have you been these days? Back then... "
She didn't finish her sentence because she was worried that Xiaohu's sad thoughts would be mentioned.
"Hello, I see you again —" Soong Shiyan greeted the woman with a smile. Then, she patted Xiaohu's head and said, "Xiaohu, the granny's aftermath was handled by this Auntie Tang. Quickly, thank you Auntie Tang!"
Xiaohu looked at the woman gratefully and thanked her sincerely.
"We're all neighbors and villagers, this is only natural —" The woman smiled and said. However, she changed the subject and started talking about something else, "Not long ago, I heard that the land nearby was bought by someone. Xiaohu's house is in that area, and although it's in ruins, it's still Xiaohu's home …"
"I know," Soong Shiyan nodded. "I bought the land."
Grandmother had never left this place in her entire life. Her only goal was to wait for her missing daughters to return here one day. However, their home had turned into ruins in a single night. Therefore, Soong Shiyan had spent money to buy this piece of land in hopes of saving this place for her grandmother.
Hearing this, the woman's eyes lit up in surprise. Perhaps she didn't expect Soong Shiyan to be able to buy such a large piece of land.
"Do you want to come to my house for lunch?" The woman returned to her senses and asked Soong Shiyan and Xiaohu.
Soong Shiyan smiled and tactfully declined the offer, "There's no need for that. We'll be leaving soon."
The woman nodded and said, "If that's the case, then you should be careful. I will go to the fields to farm. When the sun rises, the weather will be even hotter."
After saying that, the woman carried the hoe and left.
Soong Shiyan turned around and looked at Xiaohu. After pondering for a moment, she said leisurely, "Xiaohu, Ms Soong has something to tell you."
Seeing the solemn expression on Soong Shiyan's face, Xiaohu couldn't help but turn serious. He looked at Soong Shiyan and said, "Ms Soong, go ahead."
"Let me tell you a story —" Soong Shiyan said leisurely, "Once upon a time, there was a man who killed her father by colluding with her fiancé and wanted to kill her. This person had finally managed to survive and escape, but he was brought back home by a kind old granny. But on the night this man arrived at the grandmother's house, the people who had rescued her had found her. They had them locked up in the house and set a fire to it. The kind-hearted grandmother had died in the fire, and her grandson had lost his family and followed that man around ….
Soong Shiyan's eyes were filled with steam — — After hiding it from Xiaohu for so long, it was time to let Xiaohu know the truth.
Xiaohu's tears rolled down. He looked at Soong Shiyan and choked with sobs, "Ms Soong, the person you're talking about is you, right?"
Hearing this, Soong Shiyan's heart was filled with grief. She looked at Xiaohu with reddened eyes and said with a guilty face, "Yes, this person is me. I am the culprit who killed Grandma and caused your separation. "Xiaohu, even if you don't forgive Ms Soong, it doesn't matter to Ms Soong. After all, I caused all of this."
Soong Shiyan took a deep breath and closed her eyes, calming herself down.
A small, warm hand held Soong Shiyan's hand. Soong Shiyan's heart skipped a beat, and she opened her eyes. Xiaohu held her hand and looked up at her. His eyes were red and choked with sobs as he said, "I don't blame Ms Soong — the one who killed Grandma was the scoundrel who wanted you dead. Furthermore, if not for Ms Soong doing her best to save me that time, I might have died in that great fire. "0
Seeing that Xiaohu didn't blame her, Soong Shiyan felt even more guilty. She squatted down, held Xiaohu's face and said to him: "Xiaohu, don't worry, even if Grandma is gone, you still have Ms Soong — Ms Soong will make Xiaohu happy and grow up happily."
"Mm, I believe Ms Soong — Ms Soong will not go back on her word!" Xiaohu said to Soong Shiyan with a smile as he reached out to wipe his tears away.
"What's more, in this world, Xiaohu, you still have other relatives — Grandma should have told you that, right?" Soong Shiyan looked at Xiaohu and said.
"But Grandmother said so too — perhaps they will never come back in this life. "Perhaps, like Grandma, they have already …" Xiaohu said quietly. On his face was an age that was inconsistent with youth.
"Then, can I tell you another secret?" Soong Shiyan said to Xiaohu with a smile.
"What secret?" Xiaohu looked curiously at Soong Shiyan as he asked.
"Actually, Ms Soong's mother is Grandma's daughter, which is also Xiaohu's biological aunt. Therefore, Ms Soong is Xiaohu's cousin. " Soong Shiyan looked at Xiaohu and said with a smile.
Hearing that, Xiaohu was a little surprised, "Is this for real? "Ms Soong, you're not lying to me, right?"
Soong Shiyan nodded and smiled, "How could Ms Soong lie to you? Of course it's true — when Ms Soong heard the news not long ago, she also felt that our meeting was fated. "Because, big sister is destined to protect little brother."
Xiaohu came to his grandmother's grave, stroking the mud on it, and said to his grandmother with a smile: "Grandma, did you hear that? Ms Soong's mother is your daughter, and Ms Soong is really my sister! "
Xiaohu said a lot more to his grandma, to the effect that Soong Shiyan treated him well and told his grandma not to worry in the sky. With Soong Shiyan's care, he would grow up and become a useful person.
"But, Ms Soong, where's your mother? Why didn't she come to see Grandma? Didn't she know that Grandma had been waiting for them? " Xiaohu seemed to have thought of something, so he turned around and said to Soong Shiyan.
Hearing this, Soong Shiyan's face grew sad for a moment before she spoke up, "She passed away more than twenty years ago."
Xiaohu was also silent. At such a young age, he had to bear many hardships that he shouldn't bear at his age. Soong Shiyan couldn't help but sigh to herself as she looked at his innocent face that had a hint of vicissitudes of life.
She looked at Xiaohu and comforted him with a smile, "Although my mother has passed away, we still have an aunt. After my sister finds her, we will bring her to my grandmother's grave so that she can rest in peace."
"Yes, I believe you, sister." Xiaohu looked at Soong Shiyan and nodded his head heavily. With a face full of trust, he said, "Ms Soong, I want to tell you something …"
Seeing Xiaohu's slightly hesitant expression, Soong Shiyan smiled and said to him, "Xiaohu, what do you want to say? Just say it to Ms Soong. Don't be shy."
"Ms Soong, I want to learn martial arts." Xiaohu looked at Soong Shiyan and said carefully.
"Martial arts? Xiaohu, why do you want to learn martial arts? Look at the other kids. They all study musical instruments, art, that sort of thing. " Soong Shiyan was a little puzzled. "You're still young. I'm afraid you can't handle martial arts." Soong Shiyan disagreed.
"But, I want to protect those who need my protection. Moreover, Xiaohu is not afraid of suffering. No matter how difficult it is, Xiaohu will definitely persevere and become stronger to protect you all! " Xiaohu said to Soong Shiyan with a resolute expression.
Seeing Xiaohu's determined look, Soong Shiyan's heart was moved. Since Xiaohu was interested and determined, she should support his decision.
"Since that's the case, Ms Soong will agree — at that time, I'll find a good teacher with experience for you and let him teach you well! In the future, Xiaohu can protect those he cares about! " Soong Shiyan rubbed Xiaohu's head and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Ms Soong!" Seeing that Soong Shiyan agreed, Xiaohu cheered excitedly.
Soong Shiyan also smiled. Looking at the tomb, she couldn't help but recall that ever since the accident at Soong Family, she had never paid her respects to her father's grave. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a bit ashamed — — These days, she didn't dare to visit the tomb because she had always felt guilty, even though her father had never blamed her.
Father, when I see Yan Duoya and see her regret for life, I will go to your and mother's grave and repent for the foolish things I did!
