Xiao Fang, an orphan in the village, returned home overnight with a bouquet of flowers and a gift in her hand. She came to visit her grandmother, who was critically ill.
I was always thinking about my grandmother's condition, especially when I heard that she was getting weaker, which made me decide to go home and visit her.
In the moonlight, I hurried into the small village by the lake, as if I had returned to the past, and a wave of memories came flooding back to my mind: after my parents died, I was adopted by my cousin's family, but my aunt had always been cold to me, always thinking that I would rob her son of everything, and blamed me all day long.
Walking to the door, I hesitated, a little worried. This family does not belong to me, and it suddenly occurred to me that my uncle's family has never given me any help, will I be hit when I come in? After hesitating, the door suddenly opened.
My aunt looked at me with a sneer on her face, and she asked, "Who asked you to come?" I bowed my head in embarrassment and didn't answer.
I looked up, tried to keep my composure, and whispered, "Grandma is critically ill, I'm coming to see her." I don't mean anything else. ”
My aunt sneered and said, "Look at her? What qualifications do you, who don't even have an official status, have to look at her? You'd better get back in! Our family doesn't need your meddling.
I clenched my fists in anger, and my aunt's taunt made me feel unbearable. But for the sake of my grandmother, I still try to keep my emotions in check.
"My grandmother is very sick, and I am also her granddaughter, so I have the right to visit her." My voice was low, but it was full of determination.
Hearing my words, my aunt's face became even more ugly, and she glared at me angrily: "You are her granddaughter?" Where did you come from? I've never heard you're her granddaughter! ”
"Your family hasn't recognized me, I know." I felt a pang in my heart, but I couldn't hide my anger and grievances.
Grandma's voice suddenly came out of the house: "Xiaofang, you are here." "When I heard my grandmother's voice, I had a smile on my face.
"Grandma, I'm back to see you." I ran into the house and saw my grandmother lying on the bed, her face was pale and she looked very weak.
Grandma shook my hand, smiled and said, "Good boy, you're finally here." Her voice was weak and gentle, and it warmed my heart.
I leaned down and gently stroked my grandmother's forehead, tears welling up in my eyes. I told my grandmother that I had always wanted to go home and visit her since I was a child, but I never had the chance.
Grandma took my hand and said to me with a smile: "Xiaofang, grandma doesn't blame you, you are my granddaughter, no matter what the family thinks of you, grandma has always been by your side and guarded you."
At that moment, my aunt pushed open the door and walked in. Her expression became even more ugly when she saw my intimate gesture with my grandmother.
I looked at her indifferently, no longer affected by her words and attitudes. I know that my love for my grandmother will never change, and my grandmother will always be full of love for me.
Grandma patted my hand gently and motioned for me to be quiet. She looked at her aunt and said slowly: "Auntie, although Xiaofang is an orphan, she is my granddaughter, my flesh and blood.
Now, she's coming back to visit me, and that's what she's supposed to do, and that's what she wants to do. No one in our family is qualified to stop her.
My aunt stiffened, her eyes flickering. She was silent for a moment, then finally turned and left the room.
My grandmother and I hugged each other tightly, tears welling up in our eyes again. On this harrowing night, I was comforted by my grandmother's warmth and love.
The next morning, when I woke up, my grandmother was no longer in bed, and I hurriedly got up to look for her. When I walked out of the room, I saw my aunt standing in the courtyard with a strange man, and the two looked nervous and whispered to each other.
"Auntie, who is this?" I looked at the man quizzically.
My aunt replied coldly: "He is a lawyer, and he said that he wants to find out your identity and inheritance." ”
When I heard this, my mood went up and down. Although I knew that someone might plot against my legacy, I never expected my aunt to take such extreme measures.
"Okay, then I'll talk to the lawyer first." I said calmly.
When we came to the house, the lawyer sat down and said to me with a serious expression: "Miss, according to my investigation, you are the legal heir of this family.
But now, what do you think of your aunt's suggestion that you need to give up your inheritance to get your grandmother's approval and love? ”。
My heart sank. I know what an inheritance means to these greedy relatives – benefits.
I bit my lip to suppress the anger and helplessness in my heart. I know that my grandmother will not support their ideas, but how can I fight these loved ones? I can't let them ruin our relationship.
I raised my head and said to the lawyer with a determined look in my eyes, "I don't care about the inheritance, I just want to get grandma's approval and love."
As long as my grandmother wants to, I will always guard her.
The lawyer noticed the firmness in my eyes and nodded. He turned and left the room, leaving me alone in deep thought.
In this family, affection becomes distorted and complicated. I had to face the interests and conflicts between my loved ones, but I was determined not to let these affect my love and responsibility for my grandmother.
I walked out of the house and found my grandmother. Seeing her smiling in the garden made the guilt and heartache in my heart even stronger.
A look of relief flashed in my grandmother's eyes, and she looked at me kindly and said, "Xiaofang, although there are disputes and strife in this family, you have to believe that family affection will overcome everything after all.
My tears flowed down again, and I nodded in understanding. I know that I cannot be bound by these contradictions and competing interests.
Grandma's body is getting weaker day by day, and the atmosphere in the house is becoming tense. All kinds of conflicts and conflicts began to surface in the family, which made me feel extremely anxious.
One day, I was in the kitchen preparing dinner when my aunt suddenly walked in with a gloomy face. She pointed at me and scolded angrily, "Xiaofang, do you think you can do whatever you want when you come back?" This is our family, and you are not qualified to get involved! ”。
I was stunned, I didn't expect her to suddenly go berserk. Obviously, I just want to take good care of my grandmother and help with some of the housework.
She interrupted me and sneered, "You just want a piece of the pie, right?" You thief's mind! I don't think you're here for grandma at all, you're coming back for the property! ”
I felt wronged, and tears could not help but fall. I have never asked for anything, I just want to be recognized and warmed by my family.
Just as I was about to break down, my grandmother walked in. Her face was pale, but her gaze was determined. She said to her aunt: "Auntie, you can talk to me if you have any grievances, but Xiaofang is my granddaughter, and I can't tolerate you treating her like this!" ”。
My aunt fell silent for a moment in the face of her grandmother's words. She glared at me and my grandmother, and did not budge: "Grandma, you are just blind, right?" This thief-minded child doesn't even have an identity, so why should he enjoy our family's property? ”。
I trembled, tears streaming down my face. I have never had the love of my relatives since I was a child, I just hope to be recognized and warmed by my family.
Seeing my sad look, my grandmother's eyes also turned red. "Xiaofang, don't be sad, grandma will always support you.
Seeing my grandmother's firmness, my tears couldn't stop flowing. I swear that no matter how cold my uncle's family is, no matter how low my position in the family, I will persevere, for the sake of my grandmother.
As the grandmother's condition worsened, the atmosphere at home became even more tense. My aunt was no longer angry with me, but her indifference to me was even more obvious.
At my grandmother's bedside, I took care of her and was the only person I talked to. My grandmother told me that she also suffered from her family's disapproval and rejection when she was younger.
With my grandmother's encouragement, I decided to continue to persevere and stop being depressed by the conflicts and unfairness in my family.
Just when I was making up my mind, I suddenly received a phone call. On the other end of the line was an unfamiliar voice telling me that my grandmother's condition had become worse and that she needed to go back immediately.
I was in a panic and didn't know what to do. Grandma is my only loved one, and I can't just give it up.
It's a tough choice, and I need to think calmly. I need to find my own path between family disputes and conflicts, for my grandmother's sake and for my own happiness.
Grandma's words still echo in my ears, and her encouragement and support make me feel incredibly warm and determined.
The next morning, I was ready to leave and walked out of my grandmother's room. Suddenly, my uncle blocked my way. His face was gloomy, and his eyes were full of dissatisfaction and anger.
"How dare you come to our house?" My uncle's voice was angry, and he glared at me with sharp eyes.
I clutched the luggage in my hand, tried to keep my composure, and replied firmly, "Grandma is critically ill, and I came to visit her."
Uncle sneered: "Visit? Do you think your return will change our opinion of you? You are an orphan and do not have the slightest authority to manage our family's affairs! You don't deserve it! ”
My uncle's words pierced my heart like a sharp knife, and I felt like a knife, but I tried to keep my sanity.
"Uncle, although I am an orphan, I am also my grandmother's granddaughter, and I have a duty and obligation to her. No matter what you think of me, I will still take care of my grandmother and care for her.
"My voice is full of determination and tenacity.
Uncle frowned, he tried to control his emotions, and said coldly: "Grandma's affairs, we will handle it ourselves, you don't need to interfere."
I took a deep breath and said to my uncle, "Since that's the case, then I'll take my leave." I didn't say another word and walked straight out of the house.
I walked along the village path with a heavy heart. I told myself to be strong and not let my uncle's attitude affect me.
Along the way, I passed an orchard. Several villagers are busy picking fruits. One of the old women saw me coming and greeted me warmly.
"Little girl, you are an orphan in the village, aren't you? I heard you're back, and you look sad. The old woman's tone was full of concern.
I nodded, my eyes moistened: "Yes, grandma is critically ill, but the people in the family don't accept me and don't let me see her for the last time."
The old woman sighed: "In this world, family affection should be the most precious, but sometimes family conflicts and disputes are unbearable.
The old woman's words made me feel warm and courageous. I know that no matter what the conflicts in the family are, my grandmother's love and support will always be my most solid backing.
I kept walking, my heart full of determination and hope. Regardless of whether my uncle's family accepts me or not, I will firmly protect my grandmother and accompany her through her last days.
My relationship with my grandmother gradually returned to the closeness of the past, and I would be by her side every day, sending her warmth and care.
One day, while I was cooking soup for my grandmother, my aunt burst into the kitchen with a disdainful smile on her face.
"Look at you, you will pretend to take care of grandma, what good is in mind?" My aunt said viciously.
I looked at her calmly and replied, "Grandma is my blood relative, and I won't pretend anyway." You can not understand, but you are not grandma's relatives after all.
My aunt laughed mockingly, "Relatives? You don't even have a legal identity, what does it have to do with our family? What do you want to do with your grandma? ”
I felt angry and aggrieved mixed together, but I forced myself to stay calm. "I came to visit my grandmother because she was sick, which is what I should do and what I am willing to do.
Auntie's eyes became even more gloomy, "Do you think that if you say something fanciful, we will believe you?" You unscrupulous orphan, I advise you to leave quickly, and don't interfere with our lives here.
I bit my lip tightly and struggled to control my emotions. Watching my aunt turn away, a sense of helplessness and powerlessness rose in my heart.
A few days later, my grandmother's condition improved, and doctors said she needed to recuperate to recover. Since I didn't have my own place to live, I decided to stay in my grandmother's room for the time being to take care of her.
"How can you live here? This is our home and you don't have the right to live here. My uncle pointed at me and said angrily.
I stood up and replied firmly, "Grandma needs someone to take care of her, and I will always be there for her." If you can't accept it, find another way to take care of your grandmother.
My uncle was furious and raised his hand to hit me. "Get out of here! You're not welcome here! ”
I wasn't afraid of him, I looked at him calmly and didn't flinch. "If I'm gone, Grandma will have no one to take care of, can you be responsible for her?".
My uncle's hand stopped in mid-air, and my aunt looked at me dumbfounded. They understood that if I left, Grandma would be in greater danger.
"You can stay here, but don't expect us to be nice to you." Uncle said through gritted teeth.
I didn't say anything more, silently went back to my grandmother's room, and continued to take care of her. My uncle's and aunt's indifferent attitude did not shake me, because I understood that the love and responsibility of family members are not based on status and status.
