RETURNING FROM THE IMMORTAL WORLD

Chapter 241 - Chapter 245

Chapter 241: Moving Problems

Zhang Shi smiled, "Xiu'er, your mother has told me the about affair between you and your uncle. Grandma doesn't blame you. Shangwen, he... he indeed has changed. Do you know what your grandpa hoped the most before dying?"

"What?" Tang Xiu's smile slowly disappeared as he asked in a low voice.

"He hoped for Shangwen to go bankrupt," said Zhang Shi as she sighed.

Puzzled, Tang Xiu's brows raised, "Why?"

"His disposition was good, he was gentle and polite to anyone when he had no money back then. But after he got rich, he offended the young and the elderly in the village. Furthermore, he hasn't visited the village for three years. Your mother and you must have endured a lot of pain all these years in Star City. But he... Ohh!"

Upon hearing it, Tang Xiu's heart warmed. However, he keenly felt his grandmother's bitter feelings. After all, Su Shangwen was her biological son, how would she not want her son to be good?

After pondering for a short moment, Tang Xiu slowly said, "Grandma, let him stay in prison for a few years! When he's been whetted sufficiently, able to turn a new leaf and become more humane, I'll think of ways to get him out."

Zhang Shi's eyes suffused with excitement and silently nodded.

Tang Xiu spoke again, "Grandma, after I heal your legs, how about you come to Star City to live with us? Our family's living conditions have gotten a lot better. Mom opened a restaurant and her business is very good. Although I just graduated and finished my CET, I also run some businesses and make a lot of money. You should come with us to enjoy your life in the future."

Zhang Shi laughed, "Xiu'er, Grandma thanks you for your filial piety. But grandma has to decline. My body is already halfway buried in the grave. If I were to go, wouldn't I become more trouble for you? Let's forget it! I've lived here for a lifetime, I'll live here till the end of my days. Why should I toss myself blindly?"

Tang Xiu said, "Grandma, you still have me and you can still live quite long. Relax! Just come with us to Star City. You won't trouble us. I myself have to go to study in Shanghai soon, so Mom will live alone there. If you go with us, you can also accompany her."

"This..." with a bit of hesitation, Zhang Shi looked at Su Lingyun who was full of anticipation all over her face.

Su Lingyun quickly said, "Mom, I really don't feel relieved leaving you here alone. Please listen to Xiu'er! Come with us to Star City. We mother and daughter can live together. Our conditions weren't good in the past, but now it's better. We also have a big villa and a big restaurant. Xiu'er also has a big company there."

Zhang Shi took a deep breath. She shook her head, "Little Yun, Xiu'er. Don't urge me. I've been living here for years. I won't get used to it if I changed the environment all of a sudden. Our village's neighbors are good to me and they usually take care of the things when I got them. You take care of your life, you don't need to worry about me."

Su Lingyun's expression turned grim. She knew her mother's disposition very well. Once she made a decision, she probably wouldn't change her mind even if her argument was solid.

Tang Xiu thought for a moment and said, "Grandma, since you really don't want to go to Star City, you can stay here, but we should repair this house. I'll take some money to rebuild the house. Furthermore, I'll hire two nannies in Star City to stay here to accompany and look after of you."

Zhang Shi waved her hand, "No. I live here, there's no need to rebuild the house. It will take a lot of money! Besides, I'm just a poor old lady, why would I need nannies to serve me? Although I'm old, my legs are still fast. I don't need people to take care of me!"
