Chapter 136 - Such courtesy

Huang Xing fiercely took a drag on his cigarette, allowing the smoke to flow upwards. First, you said that you were pregnant, then you said that the old lady was critically ill. Zhao Xiaoran, what are you thinking?

Zhao Xiaoran emphasized: What I said was true! In fact, she hadn't been in good shape for the past two months. When I went back home, she would always ask me why I didn't bring Huang Xing back. She also told me that Huang Xing is a good child. Even though he doesn't have much success right now, he will definitely have some prospects in the future. Now that his condition is getting worse, I'm worried about her... So you help me, come back with me to see her, okay?

When Huang Xing heard this, he could not help but feel pain in his nose. He thought, no matter how much of a bastard Zhao Xiaoran is, he wouldn't treat the old lady's sickness as a law.

To be exact, he really wanted to see the man in his eighties. In the past, every time he went there, his in-laws would always have a cold expression on their faces. They felt that their beautiful daughter had been married to a young security guard with no future or status, which was a disgrace to them. But only Zhao Xiaoran's grandmother would hold her hand and say some intimate words each time. The old man had never looked down on Huang Xing and had instead given him quite a bit of encouragement and comfort. In Huang Xing's heart, he had already treated Zhao Xiaoran's grandmother as his own grandmother.

Thus, when he heard about Zhao Xiaoran's illness, Huang Xing's heart was surprisingly sore. Although he was against Zhao Xiaoran, he still had a deep affection for the old lady.

Huang Xing glared at Zhao Xiaoran and asked: Are you sure you didn't lie to me this time?

Zhao Xiaoran emphasized: I'm sure!

Huang Xing really hoped to hear her negative answer. After extinguishing the cigarette in his hand, Huang Xing asked again. What's wrong with her?

Zhao Xiaoran sighed: I'm already old.

Huang Xing asked again: You didn't send him to the hospital?

Zhao Xiaoran said: What's the use of sending people to a hospital, life and death, this is a rule of nature.

Huang Xing thought for a moment, then said: Alright, I'll go with you. I hope you didn't lie to me.

Zhao Xiaoran suddenly grabbed Huang Xing's hand and pleaded. "But you must not tell them about us.

Huang Xing nodded, conflicted.

After buying some things, Huang Xing followed Zhao Xiaoran to her house.

It had been a long time.

The courtyard seemed desolate and empty. Last year's spring couplet had lost its hue, opening a few cracks and swaying in the breeze.

His father-in-law and mother-in-law had also clearly become more haggard. More and more white hair appeared on their heads. But for some reason, when Huang Xing came this time, he received a warm welcome from them, which led to the serving of tea and the washing of fruits. In Huang Xing's memories, every time he had come here, when had he ever been treated with such courtesy?

Of course, Huang Xing couldn't sit still, he stood up and said, "I'm going to go see Grandma."

His mother-in-law came over and poured water into the cup and said, Stop looking. It's too dirty to go in.

Huang Xing's heart suddenly thumped.

However, he still insisted on walking into Grandma Zhao Xiaoran's ear room. Amidst the pungent smell, Huang Xing saw the benevolent old man quietly lying on the bed. The room was filled with the smell of excrement and urine, and the bedding was wet. On the ground beside the bed, there were many traces of white urine and alkali, and the remains of cold cooking. Huang Xing's nose stung, and tears rolled down his cheeks. He saw that the old man was sleeping soundly, so he didn't have the heart to disturb him. Instead, he lightly found a broom from behind the door and cleaned the room.

His mother-in-law covered her nose and followed him in. She hurriedly said, "It doesn't matter if I do or don't care. Why would I need you to do such a thing?"

Huang Xing persisted in cleaning the place up and used a cloth to mop the floor. Then he opened the small window beside him to let in some fresh air. His mother-in-law said that the window led to the kitchen. How smelly was it? Would he still be able to eat in the future? Huang Xing then commanded her: You may not eat, but the old man cannot be ignored!

A trace of awkwardness appeared on his mother-in-law's face. "I say son-in-law, the old lady is always being treated by me. I'm the one taking care of her after she pees and piss. How can you say that …"

Huang Xing had wanted to say that being controlled like this by you, was truly a miracle. But taking into consideration her face, Huang Xing didn't say anything.

At this time, Zhao Xiaoran also walked into the hut. She initially wanted to pinch her nose a little, but seeing that Huang Xing was looking at her, she immediately let go of his hand. Huang Xing said that after Grandma woke up, he would help her change the bedding and wipe her body.

Zhao Xiaoran said. Xiao Meng will be back in a moment.

Huang Xing froze for a moment, then said, "Can I understand that? Are you waiting for Xiao Meng to come back and do all this?"

Zhao Xiaoran shook her head and said, "No no, I mean, us sisters will do it together."

After a short while, the old lady seemed to feel the atmosphere in the room and woke up. She then stretched out her hand and asked for some water. Huang Xing walked over first and was about to pour water into the bowl when he realised that the bowl that held the water was filled to the brim with dust and water. Huang Xing's nose turned sour again. He poured some hot water and burned it, washed the bowl clean, poured some water, and said to the old lady: "Wait for the water to dry for a while, Grandmother."

The old lady was shocked. She wanted to reach out her trembling hand to touch Huang Xing, but maybe out of concern for something, she withdrew her hand.

Her hands were thin, as if they were nothing but bones. The densely packed age spots stung Huang Xing's soul more and more clearly. Huang Xing took the initiative to hold the old lady's hand, preventing the tears in his eyes from flowing out.

Huang Xing realized that the old lady's sunken eyes were filled with tears. The old lady wanted to sit up, but she didn't have the strength to sit up anymore. "Xing'er, you are Xing'er …" My star, you came to visit my grandmother...

Hearing her intimate yet powerless call, Huang Xing could no longer control his emotions and tears began to roll down his cheeks. Although Grandma wasn't his own grandmother, she was Zhao Xiaoran's grandmother, but between Huang Xing and this old man, there was an extraordinary relationship. The old man was very open-minded and kind, she had always treated Huang Xing as his own grandson. At that time, Huang Xing had never received any respect from the Zhao Xiaoran family. Huang Xing didn't want to think about the cold treatment he had faced in the past, but he had to think back to how the old lady treated him well. Everything that had been branded into Huang Xing's heart.

Huang Xing called out 'Grandma', and the old man revealed a teary smile. It was only a few months since she had seen him, but her teeth had fallen out and his wrinkled lips were caved in.

The old lady said weakly, "Xing'er, I'm so glad that you came to see me …" Grandma doesn't know how long she'll live. Before she leaves, she'll be able to see you. When she sees you and Xiao Ran, she'll be able to rest in peace …

Huang Xing said: Your grandmother, who will get better, needs to eat more in order to become stronger and stronger.

Huang Xing had only spoken a few words to the old lady before she started panting. Huang Xing could not bear to let the old man waste his strength again, so he used a small spoon to feed her a mouthful of water.

The Old Granny looked at Huang Xing with tears in her eyes, with a satisfied smile. She called out to Zhao Xiaoran, and said: Xiao Ran, since you wanted to live a good life with Xing'er and entrusted you to him, I have always been at ease … Xing'er is a good child, you...

Zhao Xiaoran's nose also turned sour, and she couldn't help but sob.

At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard outside. The footsteps stopped at the door of the hut. With a creak, Zhao Xiaoran's sister, who had not been here for a long time, opened the door and walked in.

Seeing Huang Xing feeding his grandmother water, Zhao Xiaomeng was slightly shocked. He walked over and called out to his. Brother-in-law.

The way she called him 'Brother-in-law' was very conflicted.

Huang Xing understood in his heart that he was no longer her brother-in-law.

However, he also understood that in Zhao Xiaomeng's heart, she would always be her brother-in-law. This position was irreplaceable.

When Zhao Xiaomeng returned, she immediately became extremely busy. She helped scorch Grandma's bed and wipe her body. Huang Xing's heart was heavy. He might not be able to leave, but he might not stay either.

In the outer room, Zhao Xiaoran held onto her arm and walked around for a while. Then, she mustered up her courage and said to Huang Xing: "Do you still remember the first time you came to our house? At that time, Grandmother treated you really well.

Huang Xing interrupted her words with a little heartache: "Grandmother is pretty good to me now too." Always.

The implication of his words was that the person who had always been good to me was, unfortunately, not you.

Zhao Xiaoran smacked her lips: At that time, I was pretty good to you too, for you, I had a falling out with my entire family.

Huang Xing said that at that time, it was not this time.

Zhao Xiaoran said. Could it be that you don't care about the feelings between us?

Huang Xing said, what's the use of saying all these.

In the end, Huang Xing still took his leave. Before he left, the old lady held Huang Xing's hand and said with tears flowing down, "Xing'er, I wonder if you can still come see me again in this life. In the future, take care of Xiaoran.

Huang Xing restrained himself from crying and said: "Grandma, I'll come see you again."

When they walked out of the courtyard, their parents came out to send them off. Zhao Xiaoran said that since Zhao Xiaoran wanted to go back with him, you should stay behind to take care of her grandmother.

On the bus, Huang Xing was unable to calm down for a long time.

Returning directly to the company, Huang Xing saw that a lot of agents came over to retrieve their products, and their phones were all carried away. This proved that the New Concept Mobile Phone had indeed adapted to the demand of the market, and their sales were rising day by day.

Fu Zhenxin excitedly stood at the door, seeing that Huang Xing had returned, he immediately stopped smiling and asked with concern: "How is it, is it done?"

Huang Xing shook his head.

As Fu Zhenxin entered the office, she asked: What's the situation here?

Huang Xing sat down and lit up a cigarette: Today is Saturday.

Fu Zhenxin was suddenly enlightened and said: "That's right, how could I have forgotten!" Our company works normally on Saturdays, but I've forgotten that Saturday is a legal day off. So, when are you going back?

Huang Xing said: As soon as possible. I hope this matter can be resolved as soon as possible.

At this time, Fu Jie also heard the commotion and rushed over to ask about the situation. But seeing that Huang Xing was feeling down, Fu Jie did not stay any longer and returned to her own office.

After work in the afternoon, just as Huang Xing was about to get on Fu Zhenxin's car and go home, he suddenly received a call from Zhao Xiaomeng.
