Don't talk nonsense, this is the Emperor's Banner

Chapter 208 If There Is an Afterlife
"Why do you want to say sorry?" Grandma Xia asked curiously.

"I disappointed grandma. I...I failed to let you live a good life. Instead, I became a burden to you..." Yu Leyao said.

"That's it? What's there to say sorry for? Don't cry, don't cry. Grandma never counted on you, so don't say sorry..."

After she said this, Yu Leyao felt even more guilty.

But grandma laughed, a hearty laugh, but because her wound was affected, she couldn't help but frown and took a breath, which made Yu Leyao even more nervous.

"grandmother."

"It's okay. It does hurt a little. I'm old and useless now. If it were when I was young, I would just bear with it and it would pass."

"Grandma, you're bragging again." Yu Leyao said with tears in her eyes.

Grandma Xia likes to brag. It's her character, and Yu Leyao has known it since she was a child.

When she was young, I lied to her and said that she had been educated and went to college.

As a result, he couldn't even calculate 35*6, and said that he couldn't afford the tuition, so he gave it back to the teacher.

"I'm telling you, in this world, it's better to rely on yourself than on others. Grandma didn't count on you, so you don't have to say sorry to me. You're sorry to yourself. You have to work hard and live a good life. That's better than anything else..."

"But I haven't repaid you yet. I...I owe you a favor, and I don't know how to repay it."

"Then just keep owing it to me. I like you to keep owing it to me, so that you will always be my Yaoyao. Once you pay it off, you will no longer belong to me." Grandma Xia said.

"No grandma, you will always be my grandma." Yu Leyao said.

"Oh, you haven't told me what's going on. I'm a little confused. If you owe someone money, then pay it back slowly. It doesn't matter if it's later. You can't not pay it back. Don't learn from your parents in this regard..."

"If you make any mistakes, go to the police and turn yourself in. Reform yourself. Grandma believes in you. You are a good child. If you make mistakes, there must be reasons for you..."

……

Grandma was lying in bed, and even though she was injured, she was still chattering, just as she used to be.

But for Le Yao, she was overwhelmed by guilt like a tide.

Maybe I shouldn't have dropped out of school. It wouldn't have mattered if I had been admitted to a technical college...

Maybe I shouldn't have gone out to work and lived with my grandma in the countryside...

Maybe I was a waiter in a restaurant back then. Although it was hard work, it was a stable job...

……

But there are no maybes in life.

……

"Grandma, listen to me..."

So Yu Leyao told Grandma Xia everything about her life.

This is a private ward, so there is no need to worry about being overheard.

When she heard that Yu Leyao had been drugged and became addicted to drugs, she was so sad that she almost fainted.

"Those bad girls and bad boys, how could they bully my Yaoyao like this..."

"You should have told grandma earlier, told grandma..." Grandma kept saying.

When she heard that Yu Leyao had completely lost hope in life and chose to commit suicide because she asked her for money.

Grandma held her hand tightly and said, "I am your grandma. Isn't it normal for you to ask me for money? Don't commit suicide no matter what. When you die, everything is gone. As long as you are alive, there is nothing you can't overcome. Grandma has been through this for so many years..."

But Le Yao said that she eventually committed suicide and turned into a ghost.

Seeing grandma go to claim her body...

Seeing grandma yelling at her dead body...

Seeing grandma's sad look...

Seeing grandma being gossiped about in the village...

Seeing grandma being bullied by uncle and aunt...

Seeing grandma wandering around alone...

……

Grandma Xia held her hand tightly and stared at her without saying a word. She seemed to be trying to figure out whether Yu Leyao was lying to her or whether she just felt sorry for Yu Leyao...

She said she met a little girl named Lin Yunduo...

She also said that she met Mr. Shen, and it was because of his help that she was able to meet her grandmother again. After listening to her, Grandma Xia smiled and said, "You tell a great story, but you can't fool me. When a person dies, he is dead. There is no other life. Besides, there are no gods in this world. I have suffered for so many years and begged for so many years, but no god has helped me..."

Obviously, grandma's life has experienced many ups and downs. She has prayed to God and worshipped Buddha, but all to no avail.

So she didn't believe that there were gods in this world, and even if she did, she didn't think that gods would help mortals like them.

So she only firmly believes in one thing: one has to rely on oneself.

She has lived like this all these years. Even if she had to pick up scraps, she lived by her own labor instead of praying to gods.

Seeing that her grandmother didn't believe her, Yu Leyao slowly disappeared in front of her.

Grandma Xia widened her eyes, looked at the empty space in front of the bed, then looked down at her hands that had been clenched tightly, and struggled to get up.

But at this moment, Yu Leyao slowly emerged from her original position.

His body was held down by Yu Leyao.

"You broke a bone, and the doctor said you can't move now."

Grandma Xia lay there obediently, but she held Yu Leyao's hand tightly and looked at her carefully with a very complicated expression.

After a long while, she slowly said, "It turns out there really are gods in this world."

She was not happy, but seemed a little sad.

Since there is a God, why don't you help me...

Is it because I have a bad heart? But I have never done anything wrong in my life...

It was because of some sin I committed in my previous life that I have to suffer so much in this life...

……

She was a little confused and could only use her unknown past life to comfort herself.

"Grandma~" Yu Leyao called out worriedly.

"Grandma is fine, grandma is doing well..." Grandma Xia said with a smile.

She reached out her hand to touch Yu Leyao's face carefully, but it touched the wound and she gasped in pain.

Yu Leyao quickly leaned over and put her hand on her face.

"So beautiful..." Grandma Xia stroked her face carefully.

"When I first saw you, I thought, this girl is so pretty, I wish she was mine..."

"You are a stubborn girl. You make trouble with me every day. But because you are good-looking, you are taking advantage. I don't find it annoying when you make trouble with me. I think you are being cute..."

"Watching you grow up day by day, I, your grandma, feel like I have a daughter of my own..."

"So, how could grandma bear to give up on you..."

"Your mother doesn't want you anymore. I'm actually a little happy. Isn't grandma a little bit vicious..."

"Then you had no choice but to go home with me. Grandma was so happy at that time..."

"Grandma watched you grow up day by day. I knew you would leave me one day, but I didn't expect it would be so soon..."

"Why are you so pessimistic? The old man is sending the young away..."

"Grandma regrets bringing you back. Maybe if I hadn't brought you back, you would have lived a good life. Grandma is a useless person..."

"I failed to give you a good life and even dragged you down..."

……

"Grandma... no... no, if there is an afterlife, I will be your daughter, your granddaughter..."

The grandfather and grandson hugged each other and cried bitterly.

"Yao Yao~"

"Hmm~"

"Please ask the gods for me. I have never done anything against my conscience in my life. If there is an afterlife, can I still meet you and live a peaceful life..."

"Good~"

At this time, the god they were talking about encountered a little trouble.
