CHAPTER 766: CHAPTER 741 CRITICISM

"Grandma!"

Jiang Xiaoxiao stood behind Mrs. Fan.

The old lady shivered. Without turning around, she could already tell it was her granddaughter Jiang Xiaoxiao’s voice.

Her heart raced. She always avoided her daughter’s and granddaughter’s workplaces and even the area around their home to prevent anyone from discovering this.

How did Jiang Xiaoxiao manage to run into her?

"Grandma, why won’t you turn around? Are you afraid to see me?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao’s voice was tinged with anger.

She knew that after her aunt had a child, the family seemed to have undergone a great change. She heard that both her aunt and her little sister were not well, often sick and hospitalized.

But given her uncle’s situation, this shouldn’t be a problem. Jiang Xiaoxiao hadn’t paid much attention.

Her uncle earns tens of thousands a year, unless her aunt and little sister need tens of thousands for medical expenses each year.

If not, their family life shouldn’t be difficult. Who would have thought she’d find Grandma collecting trash here?

It’s obvious; Grandma must be selling scrap to help with household expenses, enough to make her come out and do this.

What does this mean?

It means there’s been a huge change in Uncle’s family.

What’s going on with Uncle now?

Over the past year, except for meeting during holidays, she’s been too busy to sit down and talk with Uncle in detail. But during the holidays, every time Uncle comes to their house, he’s always cheerful, wearing nice clothes, looking no different from usual.

Why does Grandma now need to return to her old line of work?

Seeing Grandma at that moment brought Jiang Xiaoxiao back to her previous life, where Grandma was the same.

But in the past life, Grandma worked hard to collect junk to make money for her.

This life, Grandma is doing it for Uncle.

Has all her effort to change everything been to make Grandma and the family return to the old path of her past life?

What exactly happened?

The old lady had no choice but to turn around. Is it a blessing or a curse? If it’s a curse, you can’t hide from it. There was no use hiding now.

She’s already been caught by Jiang Xiaoxiao. Could she now just run away?

The old lady awkwardly smiled, "Xiao Xiao, why are you so early! Is it just after work? Hurry home and rest if you’re tired after a night shift. Grandma’s fine, I’m just bored at home, so I came out to walk and pick up some junk."

"Grandma, get in the car with me, let’s talk at home."

Jiang Xiaoxiao pulled the old lady and walked.

The old lady hurriedly said, "Xiao Xiao, don’t pull me. Grandma’s dirty. I’m dirty all over and carrying a filthy bag. I can’t get in your car. What if it gets dirty?"

The old lady was truly anxious. Jiang Xiaoxiao’s car was spotless, and her granddaughter, being a doctor, had a cleanliness obsession.

Doctors wash their hands countless times a day.

After picking up garbage all day, she was filthy and wouldn’t be able to sit still in that car.

"Grandma, I’m your granddaughter. No matter how dirty you are, you’re still my grandma. I won’t despise you unless you despise me."

Jiang Xiaoxiao was genuinely angry, forcibly shoving the old lady into the car and putting the bag in her trunk, driving directly home.

Fan Xiuying had just fed her two granddaughters and asked Jiang the steady to take the children to the nursery.

Jiang Xiaoxiao’s schooling principle was not to spoil any child: nursery for the appropriate age, kindergarten for those ready, school for school-age children.

Adults shouldn’t be exhausted at home.

She didn’t want her parents, the Song family’s grandparents, or the Wu family’s grandparents to revolve around the children all day.

Without a life of their own, the elderly are getting older and can’t be overworked to exhaustion.

Seeing her daughter bringing her mom inside.

Three days without seeing her daughter, she came in with a face clouded, appearing as if tears were about to fall, then seeing her mom’s anxious face.

She was puzzled; what was going on?

Jiang Xiaoxiao wasn’t one to disrespect elders.

First time seeing her mom this jittery, like she’d done something wrong.

"Mom, you’re here. How did you get so dirty? Where have you been? Xiao Xiao, look at your face, like someone owes you millions. Why are you pulling that face at your grandma? You’ll scare her."

Fan Xiuying rescued the old lady from Jiang Xiaoxiao’s hands, allowing the old lady to hide behind her daughter, finally feeling alive again.

Her granddaughter’s stern face was truly scary.

"It’s not, it’s not... Don’t blame Xiao Xiao, this is my fault. I had nothing to do in the morning, and seeing all that junk on the roadside, it seemed a pity. If you exchanged that junk for money, it’d be quite a lot in a day.

Idle, I went to the roadside to pick up some junk, who knew Xiao Xiao would catch me. This child is upset with me."

The old lady’s excuse was very clumsy, full of holes.

Even Fan Xiuying listening found it odd. Her brother’s family lived well.

Her brother earns tens of thousands a year.

Why would the old lady need to save on these expenses, pick up junk?

Although Fan Jianguo was cheated out of sixty thousand by Fang Xiaohui, she gave those money to Fan Jianguo, making up for their financial hole.

It shouldn’t affect her brother.

Listening to this, even Fan Xiuying wasn’t satisfied. No wonder Jiang Xiaoxiao was furious.

"Mom, you’re older now. Before Dad was alive, you both would stroll often, chat with old friends, walk around, buy groceries. You didn’t have this bad habit of picking up junk. Why is it happening now?

I need to talk to Jianguo. How is he taking care of you? Isn’t he giving you money? If he’s not, tell me what you need. Picking up junk, how is that okay!

At such an age, if others see, they’ll think we are terrible children."

Fan Xiuying chastised while changing her mom’s clothes, giving her two of her own for her mom to wear. Her mom’s figure hadn’t changed all these years.

In this era, many families didn’t have enough to eat, so how could anyone be strangely fat?

The old lady laughed, "It’s okay, your brother would never not give me money. I’m just bored and idle, anyway, might as well pick up junk, creating a little wealth. Seeing you young folks make money makes me envious, I still feel I haven’t aged enough to stop contributing."

"Grandma, don’t hide from me and Mom, something’s definitely wrong with Uncle’s family. If you don’t tell us, I’ll call Uncle later, and ask him and Aunt to come over. I need to ask them properly why they’re letting you pick up trash on the street?

Even if you don’t say now, Uncle will surely tell us later."

Jiang Xiaoxiao’s words left the old lady defenseless.
