Proud senior schoolgirl was tender and sweet, we fell in love

Chapter 242 The Second Half of Her Life, and There's Xiao Yu



An accident took their son and daughter-in-law away.

The seventh day after their deaths hadn't even passed before the debt collectors came knocking.

She didn't understand the intricacies of business.

Her husband, sick in bed, struggled to sit up.

He was already very weak; his body had become nothing but skin and bones.

Yet he still placed her and little Lin Yu behind him.

Trying to shield them from the storm once more.

The debt was real; many projects had been suspended due to the death of their son and daughter-in-law, and all involved money.

Her husband appeased the creditors, and they finally left.

Then, with a face full of sorrow and guilt, he took her hand.

Little Lin Yu finally cried himself to sleep.

The child, who was once plump and fair, had cheeks that had become sharp in just a few short days.

Both she and her husband were heartbroken.

But at that moment, they had more pressing matters to attend to.

Following her husband's arrangements, she sold all the money and property they had.

But it still wasn't enough.

Her husband couldn't hold on any longer.

He lay weak on the hospital bed, sighed deeply, and said, "Xiuling, I'm sorry, what will you and little Lin Yu do..."

In a low voice, he added, "Let's be discharged, you're a doctor, there's nothing to be done for late-stage cancer, let's go home."

At least that way they could save a little money.

In the end, she took him home.

Little Lin Yu had become quiet.

In the beginning, he would ask, "Grandma, when will Dad and Mom come back?"

Later, he stopped asking and just clung to the family photo, looking at his parents inside.

People came to their home every day.

Their son's friends also helped deal with the creditors.

Tackling the mess their son had left behind.

But there was just too much.

The group of kids who had known their son since he was young gave them a large sum of money.

Although she knew she shouldn't take it, with a husband and little Lin Yu to care for, she accepted it. Experience more tales on empire

In the end, the house was sold, and the debts were nearly paid off.

But there was still over two million she simply couldn't raise.

She had a little money left, but her husband was still sick, and Lin Yu was still young.

She couldn't leave herself without any resources.

In the end, she signed a contract with the creditors to pay back the money slowly, bit by bit.

Yet even so, her husband did not survive that winter.

The man who loved her dearly, who tried to be her shelter even in his illness, finally left her.

All she had left was herself and Lin Yu.

Little Lin Yu was so young, not even three years old yet.

She held the crying child, who was nearly out of breath, and whispered, "It's okay, little Lin Yu, Grandma is here."

Her Lin Yu was still so young.

Eventually, they moved to a smaller house.

Their new life would definitely be challenging at first.

Before marriage, her family was well-off, and she only needed to focus on her studies without worrying about anything else.

Later, she became Dr. Shen.

Then her husband proposed to her, "Shen Xiuling, marry me, and I won't let you suffer at all."

He kept his promise; with him around, she never suffered.

She was very happy.

But now it felt as though she had suddenly woken up from a dream.

Lin Yu was still young; she had to take him everywhere, which meant she couldn't work at some jobs due to this.

She could only do odd jobs.

After getting to know the neighbors, who probably saw how difficult life was for the pair, one suggested she start selling things.

Back then, selling anything meant walking the streets.

She bought a bicycle, took the child, and set off.

Finally, she started earning some money.

When Lin Yu was old enough to go to kindergarten, she sent him off.

Originally, this was supposed to make things easier for her.

But on the first day, Lin Yu got into a fight.

By this time, Lin Yu had become very silent.

He alone fought against three other kids.

When he returned, he had injuries on his body.

The kindergarten teachers refunded her money,

and after getting home, she gently applied medicine to his wounds, then asked, "Did you win?"

He carefully glanced at himself and then said, "I did."

She smiled.

And then praised him, "That's great! So, why did you fight?"

Lin Yu hung his head in silence, growing ever more like her son.

But he was too thin, whereas at his age her own son was a chubby little boy.

In the end, her heart ached, so she took Lin Yu in her arms and whispered, "It's okay, we won't go there anymore, Grandma will teach you."

The child in her arms slowly began to cry, "Grandma, where are my mom and dad? Do they not want me anymore?"

Outspokenness of a child.

But it was the most hurtful.

In a soft voice, she said, "Nonsense, your mom and dad love you very much, they really do."

Even before the car accident, they were planning to take off work during the days around Lin Yu's birthday for the kids' first trip together.

What a pity...

She closed her eyes, holding back the tears welling up at the edges.

She clutched the child tight, "Your parents love you very much, and so do your grandparents. Our Lin Yu has so much love..."

Later on, they stopped going to the kindergarten.

She took the child through the streets and alleys, and gradually, life improved.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Every day, she still took time out to teach Lin Yu.

Luckily, he probably noticed her hard work and didn't make a fuss about it.

Finally, when Lin Yu started primary school, he was 7 years old.

The little brat looked fierce, but he was actually a gentle child.

And that was good; nobody would bully him.

After Lin Yu started school, she began to set up a street stall with others.

Running a stall back then wasn't easy; they faced evictions.

But it wasn't as hard as wandering the streets and alleys.

When Lin Yu was in middle school,

they encountered the Xie family.

They were a very kind and enthusiastic family.

They had a child named Xie Xiao, a very nice kid.

Since then, Lin Yu had a good friend.

It was as if she had gained another grandson...

Looking at Lin Yu in front of her, he had grown up so much.

She too had aged.

The old lady stretched out her arms and embraced Lin Yu's body, the child who once needed to be held in her arms now capable of holding her.

He excelled in his grades and had a few good friends.

And a girl he liked.

How wonderful, her Lin Yu had grown up safely.

He was still an outstanding child,

just like his parents.

The old lady couldn't hold back her tears after all and let them fall.

Then in a soft voice said, "Good, good, Grandma will wait for you."

Liu Ou, who was about to come over, saw that single tear from Grandma and finally stood still.

He took out his phone and snapped a photo.

In the picture, the faces of the young and the old.

Both wore smiles, but the old woman's eyes brimmed with pride and tears, which were the brightest of all.

Liu Ou felt an inexplicable sourness in his heart.

In the end, Grandma patted Lin Yu on the back, "Alright, such a big boy still acting spoiled. Get up, I need to make something tasty for Xiao Ou."

But Lin Yu intentionally didn't let go, "I don't want to, you never make it for me, I want to eat what you make too."

"You just said not to bother..."

"I've changed my mind!"

"You rascal!"

...

Liu Ou wiped his eyes and then walked over with a smile, "Grandma~"

The old lady pushed Lin Yu away, her eyes still red, and smiled at Liu Ou, "Hey."

Liu Ou noticed a fleeting tear in Lin Yu's eyes.
