Chapter 1682: Hope Always Remains
Chapter 1682: Hope Always Remains
The old lady woke up once again with tears streaming down her face.
"Did he visit you in your dream again?" Aunt asked anxiously.
The old lady wiped her tears: "Only five days left, I need to sleep early during these five days."
Aunt sighed deeply; someone who couldn’t eat or sleep well before actually wanted to go to bed early now.
For the following five days, the old lady listened to her grandson, ate and drank well, went to bed early, and met her grandson in her dreams. But on the last day, she was reluctant to wake up, crying endlessly, unwilling to wake up.
Aunt wiped her tears while seeing the old lady keeping her eyes tightly shut, feeling heartache, but she could only sigh.
Eventually, the old lady opened her eyes, filled with tears: "He’s reincarnated and will never visit me again."
Aunt’s nose tingled, and she couldn’t hold back her tears either.
Uncle came to the hospital to visit his old mother and saw the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who had been at odds half their lives, now holding each other and crying.
Uncle was worried sick, comforting both his old mother and wife, "What’s going on? Stop crying, you can’t seem to stop, don’t be sad anymore, eat something quickly, I brought sesame buns for you both, eat up..."
Neither paid him any mind and continued to cry.
Uncle was tired of persuading them, and ultimately just sat down at the foot of the bed, eyes wide open, watching to see when the two would stop crying.
This waiting lasted an hour.
Just as Aunt wiped her tears and said to the old lady: "I’m exhausted from crying, want to sleep now, my eyes hurt."
Old lady: "..." Who doesn’t?
So the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chose to stop crying and take a nap.
Uncle: "..."
Uncle’s waiting shifted from them stopping crying to them waking up.
After almost another hour, Uncle felt hungry and was about to eat the sesame buns he brought, when he noticed his wife waking up, glaring at him with her tear-stained eyes, oh no, glaring at the sesame buns in his hand.
Uncle extended the sesame buns forward, and Aunt immediately rushed over to take a bite.
Exhausted from crying, well-rested, and now hungry.
Soon after, the old lady also woke up, and the first thing she did was fill her stomach.
Once the two ate their fill, Uncle finally picked up the rest to eat.
After finishing, Uncle curiously asked: "Why were you crying earlier?"
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law exchanged a look, neither responding to him.
Uncle got a simultaneous glare from both, helplessly giving up, then informed them that the Red Cross had sent a thank-you letter, detailing where the money would be used.
"Those places?" Aunt casually asked.
Hearing Uncle’s excited reply: "They’ll be opening schools, Hope Primary Schools!"
Aunt was taken aback.
The old lady’s tears burst out again: "Just like he said in the dream, grandson said that because many Hope Primary Schools were opened, merit accumulated, allowing him to reincarnate into a scholarly family next life, and his parents might be professors..."
Aunt whispered softly: "That’s good, with parents alive, he’ll surely be very happy."
Uncle looked bewildered: "Have you two got a fever? Talking nonsense?"
...
After seeing off the dead-eyed Ghost, Little Taotie was about to change back to his original form when he received a call from Shen Cang: "Use your mask to create another entertainment myth, it will be your alternate identity."
Little Taotie: "From now on, will I have two identities? Both in the entertainment circle?"
Shen Cang: "The boy can often participate in Big Stomach King competitions."
Little Taotie pursed his lips: "That’s nice, I’ll be able to eat lots and lots."
Shen Cang: "I have to go on a task; it might be a long time."
