Chapter 263: Grandmother Dies
Midsummer was injured in Keju Race before, she went to the border city and asked Midsummer to take care of her grandmother at home, Midsummer is the most formal and most important etiquette, so she sat outside the gate and cried, it must be her grandmother......
Chu Zishan was flustered, he didn't care about his grandfather, and jumped out of the carriage and ran into the mansion.
She rushed into her grandmother's yard, and her sisters-in-law, sisters and brothers knelt in the courtyard, all bowing their heads and weeping.
"Whatever you cry, hold it back for me."
Chu Zishan roared and stepped into his grandmother's bedroom.
"Grandmother."
She sat on the edge of the bed, took her grandmother's hand, and carefully checked her pulse.
"Zishan, Zishan is back."
Grandmother opened her eyes slightly, her voice trembling, and a kind smile on her somewhat puffy face.
"Grandmother, I'm back."
Her voice was a little choked, and she took out a pill from her waist bag and fed it to her grandmother, but her grandmother stopped her.
"No, don't give me medicine, I'll be asleep all the time after taking this medicine, I think, I want to be sober, take a good look at your ......"
"Grandmother ......"
Chu Zishan felt like her throat was blocked by a stone, heavy and painful, she couldn't speak, she could only hold her grandmother's hand tightly, and tears couldn't stop overflowing her eyes.
"Silly child, don't cry, people will die eventually, and I won't lose my age if I live this age."
"Xin'er."
Chu Hao came to the bedside and looked at his old wife with tears in his eyes, his lips trembling.
"Husband, you're back too, it's okay, I've waited for you."
The old lady stretched out her hand to Chu Hao, and Chu Hao held it.
"Xin'er, don't say that, I just resigned, I'll take you back to your hometown, we can live a life of teasing our grandson."
Chu Hao held his old wife's hand, put it on his cheek, and sobbed sadly: "Xin'er, I'm sorry, I have made you suffer too much in this life, I have been stationed in the border city all the year round, and the days with you are numbered, I will accompany you every day in the future, I will accompany you wherever you want to go."
The old lady wiped away the tears on Chu Hao's face and said with a smile, "Husband, you are very good, really good. Being able to marry you is the happiest thing, I said, you protect the Great Xia Kingdom, I guard our little family, although you are not at home, but I know, your heart has always been here with me, I and my children are waiting for you at home to triumph, my heart has never been lonely.
You are the hero of Great Xia, and you are my pride."
The old lady pressed Chu Hao's hand to her heart.
"Xin'er, Xin'er, Xin'er......"
Chu Hao hugged the old lady and cried silently.
"Don't cry, husband, I'll be distressed."
The old lady patted her husband's back, "I really want to go back to my hometown with you, but my body is no longer angry, you have to help me take good care of the children in the future."
"Okay, I listen to you, I listen to you."
The old lady's body trembled, her brows tightened, and she closed her eyes and tried her best to hide the pain.
"Grandmother, are you okay with your medicine?" Chu Zishan cried and said.
"It's useless, my limit is approaching, the elixir is useless to me, I just want to see more of you and call them all in."
After saying a word, the old lady seemed to have exhausted all her strength, and she closed her eyes weakly.
Chu Zishan walked out and called all the family members in the courtyard in.
"Mother-in-law!"
"Grandmother."
All the Chu family members knelt in the bed, and they all looked at the dying old lady with tears in their eyes.
The old lady opened her eyes slightly, looked around at everyone, and when she saw her son in a wheelchair, she burst into tears and stretched out her hand: "Yun'an, come here, let my mother see."
Chu Yun'an came over and held the old lady's hand: "Mother, my son is not filial, and he has not been able to fulfill his filial piety by your side all these years."
"You and your father must protect the family and the country, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, my son should not dwell on this matter. You, this is ......."
She pointed to Chu Yun'an's legs, and said to herself, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay if people come back, it's fine." As for your daughter-in-law, she guards me on weekdays, why haven't I seen you today?
her."
"She's ......"
Chu Yunan choked up and couldn't speak, lowered his head and tried his best to hide his sadness.
Chu Zishan thought of Gu Yimo telling her last night that her mother learned that the second brother and the third brother had fallen into battle, and she fell ill in a hurry, and she should still be in a coma at this time.
She said, "I asked my mother to buy you medicine, and I'll be back soon."
"Oh."
The old lady replied and looked around the family again, "Husband, you and An'er are back, what about Yiheng and Zimu, they, they are, ah......
The old lady suddenly touched her heart, tears rolled down her face full of pain, and then she breathed rapidly......
"Mother, mother......"
"Grandmother ......"
The Chu family all called out in panic, looking at the old lady who was unable to return to the sky, and cried into tears.
Chu Zishan wiped away the tears that blurred his vision, bent over his grandmother's ear, and whispered a few words.
The old lady slowly opened her eyes, and a smile curled into the corner of her lips: "Okay, okay."
She grabbed her husband's hand and used the last of her strength: "The children have grown up and will know right from wrong, don't bind them with your foolishness.
Our Chu family guards the country, not people...... Husband, you have to be good, you have to live a long life, and you have to guard your children and grandchildren for me......
The old lady's voice became quieter and quieter, her eyelids were so heavy that she could no longer lift them, and her head was tilted to the side......
"Grandmother!"
Chu Zishan hugged the old lady and cried sadly.
All the Chu family members hid their faces and wept, and the heart-wrenching grief soon filled the entire Champion Hou Mansion.
When the lanterns were first on, some people saw that the courtyard of the Champion Hou Mansion was plain, and they thought that the man of the Chu family who came back from the border city died of injury.
The news spread to everyone in Kyoto overnight, and I couldn't help but feel sorry for the old lady.
They came to the Champion's Mansion and quietly did their best.
Early the next morning, the Champion Hou Mansion opened the door and saw bags of rice grain, baskets of meat, eggs, fruits and vegetables in front of the door.
Mrs. Chu finally woke up and saw that Mama Zhao and several maidservants were plain white, their eyes were red and swollen, and there was a heart-piercing pain in her chest immediately.
"Mother-in-law, she's gone?"
Mama Zhao covered her mouth, nodded, and tears fell.
Mrs. Chu lifted the quilt and was about to go to the ground, but her feet were so weak that she couldn't stand up, and she fell directly to the ground.
"Madame!" Mama Zhao screamed in surprise and hurried to help.
"Mother-in-law, daughter-in-law didn't see you for the last time, daughter-in-law is not filial, daughter-in-law will accompany you......
Mrs. Chu stood up and stumbled towards the wall.
"I can't help it, ma'am."
Mama Zhao hugged Mrs. Chu tightly, and Mrs. Chu cried: "Don't stop me, I'm going to accompany my mother-in-law, I'm going to accompany my sons, my poor son, they're all killed in battle, what's the point of me living, let me die, I don't want to live......
"Quick, go and call the second girl, go and ......" Mama Zhao desperately hugged Mrs. Chu, and hurriedly called the maid to find Chu Zishan.
The maidservant cried and trotted all the way to the mourning hall and grabbed Chu Zishan: "Second girl, it's not good, madam, madam's going to die, we can't stop it......
