Arthur's expression was a little sad and he didn't speak.
His grandmother is really the most powerful one. When he was a child, his grandfather was very obedient to his grandmother. In today's terms, she was really held up to the altar and worshiped as a goddess.
However, when he died, his grandmother was sleeping.
Everyone in the family knew that no one was allowed to make any noise while his grandmother was sleeping, and this was an absolute rule.
His grandmother attached great importance to skin care. For her, nothing was more conducive to skin recovery than sleep.
So... when his grandmother was lying on the hospital bed dying and wanted to see his goddess for the last time, his father mustered up the courage to go home and knocked on his grandmother's door and told her that his father was dying and wanted to see her again. .
It's a pity... What she got in exchange was not a trip to the hospital, but a slap in the face.
Arthur went with his father at that time. He will always remember his grandmother's disdainful, cold and indifferent look. She said: "If you die, just die. This is not a big deal. How many times have I said it?" Don't disturb me when I'm sleeping. You come here to wake me up for such a trivial matter. Do you think you're too old and I can't take care of you?"
Yes, these were his grandmother's exact words, and Arthur remembered them clearly.
Growing up, Arthur saw many indifferent people, but in his heart no one could surpass his grandmother.
To Arthur, including his parents, his grandmother was like a lingering nightmare in the family.
Even after she died, the nightmare at home still existed.
Arthur said calmly: "I don't know much about my grandmother. Just ask. If I know anything, I will tell you everything."
Xia Anlan asked: "How much do you know about what happened 40 years ago?"
Arthur shook his head: "Actually, you asked me how many years ago, I don't know, because I didn't say anything at that time. My grandmother should have any grudges with your Xia family, but I don't know anyone, right? No. Even if I know something, I don’t know where to start, so why don’t you tell me, and I’ll add something to you if it’s right.”
Xia Anlan nodded: "Yes, you didn't say anything at that time. My sister, Qingsi's mother, was still a little girl at that time, just five years old..."
Xia Anlan took out two photos of Qingsi's mother, one as a child and one as an adult.
"Look, she and Qingsi look very much alike, don't they?"
Arthur was surprised when he saw the black and white photo of Qingsi's mother: "Yeah, it really looks like..."
Xia Anlan sighed, "Actually, this matter is very confusing. I don't even know which time period to start from. Let's start from before your grandmother went to Country M."
"Sixty years ago, when my grandfather was still alive and I had not spoken out, the Xia and Zhou families were both prominent families in Rongcheng. At that time, it was actually the time when the major families were just rising. They all wanted to climb up and get closer to the center of power. It's useless to say too much. To put it simply, it was a family dispute. In the end, my grandfather fought the Zhou family down, and the Zhou family was completely defeated. For some reasons that were inconvenient to announce, many people in the Zhou family were secretly executed. These people are the backbone of the Zhou family. , once they fell, the Zhou family was really doomed. Your grandma was the only survivor of the Zhou family. She was in her youth at that time, and the two families even promised to marry her to my father. The family grudges, Personal grievances are intertwined, love leads to hatred, she loves the Xia family and hates everyone in the Xia family."
