488: The adoptive mother and grandmother were talking on the phone.
There were also testimonies from the leaders and Comrades-in-arms who handled her husband's funeral, proving that all the money and supplies were taken by Xiao Dong.
Some people also wrote in their letters that they personally heard Xiao Dong tell Grandma Xiao that all the money had been given to Xiao Zhan's wife, so that Xiao Zhan's wife could raise the children well, and if she was willing to return to the City Name, Grandma Xiao would surely treat her Daughter-in-law and Grandchildren well... Xiao Weijun also took these testimonies and letters and began to read them.
If there were only one or two, he would think they were fake, that Grandma and the others were deceiving them, but there were twenty to thirty sheets of paper here, each with a signature, and the letters also had dates. Some letters were sent to their original home, but because the recipient couldn't be found, Mother moved them.
So, these letters had been kept. Lu Jing found a way to get some of them, and this time, Xiao Niannian also brought them.
Mother Xiao started crying.
"Wuwuwu..."
She had already believed, believed all of it.
She never expected the truth of this matter to be like this!
She had harbored resentment for more than twenty years, but she had resented the wrong person.
For so many years, her mother-in-law lost her Eldest Son, and then she left with the Grandchildren. How did her mother-in-law get through these years alone, without money?
After she returned to her maiden home, her family helped her, her children were taken care of, and she also had a job... "Who is that child outside? Whose child is she?"
How did this child find her way here? The fact that she could come means she's not Xiao Dong's daughter, so whose child is she?
Could it be Big Tree's or Xiao Shu's daughter?
"Mom, Niannian is a child Grandma picked up and raised in the name of Dad and you."
What?
She suddenly had another daughter?
Thinking about how cold it was now, minus seven or eight degrees, even minus ten degrees outside. She had driven the person out for nearly half an hour, wouldn't she be frozen?
"Quick, open the door, and invite her in."
Mother Xiao instructed her Eldest Son.
After speaking, she quickly ran towards the door again.
Xiao Niannian stood in the courtyard, watching her Adoptive Mother run towards her with a tear-streaked face.
"You're Niannian?"
"Yes, I'm Niannian. Grandma said she misses you and Older Brothers very much, and hopes that one day, she can see you..."
Listening to Xiao Niannian's words, Mother Xiao's face became even more tear-streaked.
Xiao Niannian, so that's how her sister's name came about? Xiao Hongjun and Xiao Weijun looked at Xiao Niannian.
"Grandma said that if I saw you, I should apologize to you on her behalf..."
Xiao Niannian's eyes were also filled with tears. Since childhood, she had seen Grandma countless times holding a photo of her Adoptive Father, talking to him, her words filled with longing for her Adoptive Mother and Older Brothers, and self-reproach and guilt... Mother Xiao heard this and could no longer control her sadness, embracing Xiao Niannian and crying.
"Wuwuwu..."
"No, it's not your Grandma's fault..."
Mother Xiao cried bitterly. Xiao Niannian hugged her Adoptive Mother, about to comfort her, when her Adoptive Mother suddenly fainted.
"Mom."
"Mom."
Xiao Hongjun and Xiao Weijun cried out anxiously when they saw their mother faint.
Xiao Niannian carried her to the sofa and took out silver needles from her bag.
"I know medicine."
Hearing her sister's words, Xiao Hongjun and Xiao Weijun nodded.
They all watched Xiao Niannian's actions.
After Xiao Niannian inserted the needles, she looked at her Adoptive Mother lying on the sofa. Her appearance was very beautiful; although time had left its marks on her Adoptive Mother's face, time never defeats beauty, she was still so beautiful.
After a while, Xiao Niannian removed the needles and put them into her cloth bag.
"Sister, when will Mom wake up?"
"She'll wake up soon."
As Xiao Niannian's words fell, Mother Xiao woke up.
"Red Army."
"Mom, you're awake."
Mother Xiao looked at her son, then at Xiao Niannian.
"Are you Niannian?"
Xiao Niannian nodded.
"Niannian, I want to call your Grandma."
Hearing Mother Xiao's words, Xiao Niannian looked at her watch.
"Grandma should still be awake now, I'll call her for you."
A phone had also been installed in Grandma's room now.
Xiao Niannian made the call. After it was transferred, Grandma Xiao's voice rang out.
"Grandma."
Hearing her Granddaughter's voice, Grandma Xiao was very happy.
"Niannian, you've arrived in Rongcheng? Are you settled in? Remember to eat..."
"Grandma, I found Mom."
What?
Grandma Xiao suddenly sat up, her hands trembling, and she asked with a shaky voice.
"Niannian, Grandma didn't mishear, did she?"
"Grandma, you didn't mishear, I found Mom and Older Brothers!" Xiao Niannian said with a smile. "You know I'm here on a business trip, and Eldest Brother and I met in the cafeteria..."
They met in the cafeteria, oh my, that's too much of a coincidence.
"That's great, Niannian..."
Grandma Xiao said, then started crying.
Her voice traveled through the telephone receiver to Mother Xiao's ears.
"Grandma is sorry for your mother and your Older Brothers, making them suffer for so many years..."
Mother Xiao heard this, stood up, and walked towards Xiao Niannian.
She looked at Xiao Niannian, then at the telephone receiver.
"Mom," Mother Xiao took the receiver, her eyes filled with tears as she called out.
Grandma Xiao on the other end of the phone was extremely excited to hear her Eldest Daughter-in-law call her Mom.
"Ruyi, is that you?"
"Mom, it's me. Niannian found me and explained everything from before. Mom, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you..."
Back then, she didn't see her mother-in-law and thought her mother-in-law was deliberately avoiding her, coupled with what Xiao Dong said and did, and what others spread... "No, it's Mom who is sorry for you all, sorry for my two Grandchildren..."
The two of them cried on the phone.
Xiao Niannian listened to these words, recalling some past events in her mind.
"Mom, Hongjun and Weijun are here, you can talk to them." After crying for a while, Mother Xiao called her sons over.
"Eldest and Second, quickly talk to your Grandma."
Xiao Hongjun took the phone.
"Grandma."
"Ay."
"I'm Hongjun."
"Hongjun."
Grandma Xiao remembered her Grandchildren's appearances when they were young; the photos she kept were now blurry.
"Grandma, I'm Weijun."
"Weijun."
Grandma Xiao spoke with her Grandchildren, her voice choked.
Xiao Niannian listened from the side, her eyes also filled with tears. She had witnessed Grandma's longing for her Adoptive Mother and Older Brothers all these years. She also wanted to find her Adoptive Mother and Older Brothers, tell them the truth of that year, and let them meet Grandma. She didn't want Grandma to live her whole life in sadness and guilt, never seeing her Eldest Daughter-in-law and Grandchildren again.
That's why she prepared these letters and these evidentiary materials early on.
Her Adoptive Mother and Older Brothers wouldn't believe it just by word of mouth.
