Chapter 262: Seeing Off
Old Sir Song and Old Mrs. Song packed their things and went down the mountain.
"Moting, there's no need for you to see us off. Xiaoxiao, let me talk to you for a moment."
Old Mrs. Song held Jiang Xiaoxiao's hand.
Song Moting sensibly went into the house with his grandpa.
"Grandma, are you going to talk about Ye Hua?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao had a hunch that everything related to Ye Hua and what she had done was due to her past life's experiences, though outsiders didn't know.
People thought she was heartless.
But Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't care about that.
In her past life, she might have cared about many things, cared about others' opinions, cared about many intangible things. After living a lifetime, she realized she cared about what others cared about.
What she truly wanted and needed was never within others' gaze. If she cared too much about their opinions, she wouldn't live well. Either she'd live comfortably for herself or live in grievance for others.
In this life, Jiang Xiaoxiao would rather be happy and joyful herself, and hope her family would be happy too. How others thought?
That was something she hadn't thought much about.
"You child, even if you don't say it, I know you have something on your mind. Grandma's not here to persuade you to accept your birth mother, just to tell you. For the Song family, as long as we're true to ourselves and conscience, we never care about what others say.
Your grandpa and grandma have lived a lifetime without paying much attention to others' words. You should see what kind of person your grandpa is. We just want you to know that the Song family's confidence isn't maintained by others' talk.
I've seen through what your birth mother is like. She's not a good person. That manner, not anyone can pull off."
Jiang Xiaoxiao was truly surprised, never expecting grandma to say this to her. Initially, she thought grandma would come to persuade her.
After all, she's your mother, you should get along well, no matter what she's given birth to you. Many people advised her like this in her past life.
But in such familial and moral coercion, Jiang Xiaoxiao suffered quite a lot, endured a lot of pain.
Others never knew.
Others just stood on moral grounds, telling her what she should be doing. No one suffered for her, no one bore the pain she bore.
Yet she never expected grandma to say this.
Joy suddenly blossomed in Jiang Xiaoxiao's heart.
Indeed, it's true that birds of a feather flock together.
She truly loved having such grandparents.
Initially, Jiang Xiaoxiao thought, if her grandparents held some negative views about her due to this matter, she wouldn't mind much. If they got along well, they'd stay in touch more; if not, they'd reduce contact.
After all, she's not spending her life with these people.
While marriage means two families being together and accepting each other, Jiang Xiaoxiao genuinely wasn't prepared to accommodate others in this life.
But hearing grandma's words now, she truly wanted to embrace grandma in joy.
Jiang Xiaoxiao actually did that, she embraced grandma and gave a peck.
Old Mrs. Song was initially stunned by Jiang Xiaoxiao's kiss, then burst into laughter.
"You girl, you'll do anything. Tell me, why are you kissing me? I'm just an old lady, what's there to kiss? Go kiss your man instead, stop trying to butter me up here."
Though she said that, the joy in her tone was undeniable.
This generation of people wasn't good at expressing their feelings towards others, whether it's liking, loving, or not loving. They maintained a façade of calm, rarely expressing their inner emotions so fervently.
In truth, the old lady was very pleased, but there's nothing she could do; people were just like this.
Jiang Xiaoxiao hugged the old lady, "Grandma, I love you so much, more than anything else."
Old Mrs. Song laughed brightly, her granddaughter-in-law truly won her heart, this child was really genuine.
Sincere, brave, and passionate.
Her grandson truly needed someone lively and warm accompanying him.
Moreover, this child doesn't play tricks, what you see is what you get, bold and straightforward. Someone like her paired with her grandson, truly complements him. Her grandson really got lucky.
"Child, I'll be going back to Jingbei. Grandma will wait for you there. I'll have your room all prepared, waiting for your return. Good child, Moting is not easy, I hope you two love each other, support each other, and walk through life together."
She held Jiang Xiaoxiao's hand tightly, this was a true blessing and wish from the old lady.
Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded hard.
She would love Song Moting, love everyone worthy of her cherish, not let past life's hardships make her lose her sincerity.
In this world, there were so many people and things she deemed worthy to love and treasure.
"Alright, enough talking. The car waits for no one. Xiaoxiao, if that brat dares bully you, just call grandpa, and grandpa will come from the town to stand by you.
If you have time, come visit this old man in the town. But I reckon you alone will do, that brat coming over will only irritate me to no end. I'd rather not see him, save myself the trouble!"
Old Sir Song came out, looking rather impatient.
Jiang Xiaoxiao held Old Sir Song's arm, "Grandpa, don't worry. I'll visit you each week with your favorite peach wine, prepare your favorite meals. By the way, I'll make grilled fish next time for you."
The proud gaze in Old Sir Song's eyes was full of satisfaction, seeing how much his granddaughter-in-law cared for this old man.
"Good! Good! Grandpa awaits your grilled fish. Last time's boiled fish was very delicious. I also plan to go back and tease Old Wang, show off to him about getting several jars of peach wine from you. From now on, I'll drink as much as I want, let him envy me."
"This wine was brewed by my granddaughter-in-law. I'll drink whenever I want, let that old guy envy me to death."
Old Sir Song's demeanor was a little childlike.
Jiang Xiaoxiao and Song Moting smiled as they saw off the two elders into the car.
The driver had long packed all the large and small bags into the car. Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't hold back.
She brought the elders some rice and white flour produced from her special space, as well as various fresh fruits and vegetables.
Especially the peach jam and dried peaches liked by Old Mrs. Song, and the peach wine favored by Old Sir Song, all in large quantities.
Jiang Xiaoxiao planned to grow some peppers in her space, so she could make chili sauce later, as Old Sir Song especially loved spicy food.
Though he loved spicy food, he also had a weak stomach.
But she discovered that the peppers from her space didn't upset Old Sir Song's stomach at all.
From this, the special products from her space were indeed endowed with unique benefits, which was undeniable.
