Chapter 1236: Memories of Her Grandma

Bai Beibei shook her head lightly. She didn’t want to go to school anymore.

Gong Yi frowned. “In the future, you’ll have to go to work to earn money and even get married. Don’t tell me you’re going to stay by your grandma’s side and not going out? Besides, your grandmother will leave you one day!”

Bai Beibei was shocked by his last sentence. She looked at him immediately. “You’re talking nonsense!”

Grandma would never leave her!

Looking at the girl’s wet eyes, Gong Yi couldn’t bear to hurt her anymore.

“Beibei, who are you talking to?” Grandma asked from inside of the house.

“Grandma, you must have heard wrong. I’m not talking to anyone.” Bai Beibei replied in a panic. Then she looked at Gong Yi. “You can go. I’ll think of a way to pay you back the money I owe you. Brother-in-law, thank you.”

After saying that, Bai Beibei closed the window.

Gong Yi looked at her busy little figure through the glass window. HIs frowned brows did not flatten for a long time.

......

Dinner was ready soon. A plate of braised pork, stir-fried vegetables, and a bowl of tomato egg soup. Bai Beibei scooped two bowls of white rice and sat opposite her Grandman to eat.

She did not have much appetite. She lowered her head and ate some of the rice.

She was thinking about Gong Yi.

Gong Yi was still outside and didn’t leave. Now that the sky was dark, was he hungry? Besides, if he did not leave, where would he sleep?

She was worried about him.

“Is Young Master Gong still outside?” Grandma suddenly asked.

The person she had been thinking about was been asked. Bai Beibei suddenly raised her head and waved her hand. “No... he’s not here...”

“Oh, is that so? I was thinking that it was time for dinner. He should be hungry by now. Since he’s a guest, we should treat him to a meal.”

Bai Beibei was overjoyed. She put down her bowl and chopsticks, she quickly stood up. “Grandma, I’ll let him in!”

Her granddaughter ran away like a gust of wind. Grandma smiled kindly.

Soon, Gong Yi entered.

“Grandma,” Gong Yi called out respectfully.

“Mm.” Her Grandma nodded. “Sit down. My house is simple and crude. Let’s eat together.”

Bai Beibei handed over a bowl of rice, and Gong Yi sat down.

The three of them didn’t say anything else. Bai Beibei secretly glanced at the man beside her from the corner of her eyes. He looked so elegant when he ate. He received a high-class education, and the simple wooden tables and chairs didn’t fit in with him. He was so handsome and noble.

Bai Beibei felt sweet in her heart. She picked up a piece of red braised meat with her chopsticks and placed it in his bowl.

Gong Yi looked at her from the side and their eyes met. The girl lowered her eyelashes like a little rabbit, and her face turned red.

Gong Yi curled his lips. He had never come into contact with a girl who was as shy and clean as her. He did not do anything, and she got blushed on her own.

She was silly and cute.

Gong Yi ate the braised pork.

......

The dinner ended in a quiet and harmonious atmosphere. Bai Beibei went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Grandma got up and went back to her room. Gong Yi went forward and held her arm. “Grandma, let me help you.”

Granny didn’t refuse.

Both of them entered the room together. Grandma sat on the bed. “Young Master Gong, I won’t keep you. You should go back as soon as possible.”

Gong Yi came to a decision. “Grandma, do you really want to trap Beibei here? She’s only 18 years old, and her life has just begun. This place doesn’t belong to her.”

Grandma revealed a sorrowful smile, “Twenty years ago, I thought the same thing, so when a good family tried to marry Beibei’s mother, I rejected them. I sold my family’s tricycle for money and let Beibei’s mother go to the capital... But, what happened in the end?”

“The thing I regretted the most in my life is sending Beibei’s away. If only she hadn’t gone out, her mother would have married and had children like all the neighbour’s daughters. She would have lived a healthy and safe life.”

Gong Yi couldn’t agree with these words. Married and had children? What kind of person would Bai Beibei marry?

It was nothing more than a man with good quality in the village.

But how could they be worthy of her?

A clean girl like her deserved to be treated delicately.

But he could not refute her Grandma, she had the hearts of all parents in the world...

Her Grandma looked at the only window in the room, and all her memories returned to a long time ago. “Beibei, this child, she hasn’t had a good day since she was born.”

“Her mother went crazy on the day she gave birth to her. Her mother didn’t have any milk to feed her, so I fed her with the soup from the white rice porridge. In the beginning, she would cry, wanting her mother to hug her. But later, when she cried over and over, she gave up. She lay on the bed alone, babbling quietly.”

“Later, she could walk. When she was two or three years old, I went to harvest rice for others to earn money. She and her mother stayed at home alone for two years. One day, I forgot to bring my sickle. When I went home to get it, I saw her mother beating her with a small tree branch by the window. She didn’t make a fuss or cry. She hid in a corner and shrunk herself into such a small ball. I opened the door and rushed in. I held her in my arms. I asked her why she didn’t tell me. She helped me wipe away my tears and said that Beibei didn’t hurt...”

“I never dare to leave her alone at home with her mother, so I took her to do farm work. There were many children in the fields, but they didn’t want to play with Beibei because they said behind her back that Beibei was a child without a father, that she was a... little b*stard, so Beibei never had any friends since she was young.”

“When Beibei was five years old, the villagers forced her mother to be sent to a mental hospital. I was so powerless to stop them, so when I went out to work, I didn’t bring her along. Instead, I locked her up at home. She was so little, but she carried a small stool and stepped on it to start cooking and doing housework. When children of the same age played happily and pestered their parents for toys and coins, she spent her childhood in that way. She never asked me for anything.”

“Days passed like this. On her 16th birthday, her mother died in a mental hospital. A year later, my body started to have some problems. That year, Bai Shida sent people to pick up Beibei. I didn’t want to send Beibei to the Bai family. I was afraid that she would be bullied, but this child’s results were very good. When she took the college entrance exam, she passed the capital’s first-class university, the university was near Bai Shida. What could I do? I couldn’t afford the tuition fees, and I didn’t have the ability. I couldn’t affect this child’s future. Thus, under Bai Shida’s repeated vows, I sent Beibei to the Bai family by myself.”

“The first time I went to the Bai family, Beibei was right behind me, tugging on the corner of my shirt. As soon as I left the house, she started crying. She told me that she didn’t like it here and wanted to go home. So the first time, I brought her back. The second time, I sent her back to the Bai family. When she wasn’t paying attention, I sneaked back. Who knew that she would run home alone at night. She hugged me tightly and begged me not to leave her behind.”
