Xia Wan let out a sigh. “Grandma, your years of dedication to this family have been immense. You’ve toiled relentlessly, faced your share of anger, yet you’ve not found much reprieve. In the past, you were consumed by concern for your son, and now the burden of worry for your grandson weighs on you. This is what’s causing your depression and exhaustion. Your health has taken a toll; your organs are suffering.”
Li Jin was taken aback. She had feigned illness, but the revelation that she was truly unwell caught her off guard.
“What steps can we take now? Can you offer a cure?” Li Jin’s voice trembled with anxiety as she posed the question.
Xia Wan shook her head slightly.
Li Jin’s panic deepened. “What does that head shake imply? Is my condition incurable?”
Xia Wan looked towards Song Yu and Chen Lian. “Grandma’s recovery will require the collaboration of the two aunts.”
Song Yan and Chen Lian exchanged uneasy glances, sensing something amiss.
“How can we assist?” Song Yan inquired.
Xia Wan explained, “Going forward, Grandma should not be burdened with household chores. Spend time with her, ensure she consumes two eggs daily, spare her from strenuous activities, and most importantly, prevent any situation that might cause her anger.
“Endure for a month. I’ll return to assess Grandma’s progress.”
Turning her gaze back to Li Jin, Xia Wan’s expression grew somber. “Grandma, I doubted Auntie’s diagnosis. I never expected a genuine ailment stemming from heart disease.
“I’m convinced that your distress over Xia Yu and Xia Ruts disappearance has afflicted your well-being. For the future, you must ease your anxieties. Your offspring will find their own fortunes. Sometimes, excessive interference can be detrimental to your own health.
“As we’ve matured, we bear the responsibility for our actions. Grandma, as the family’s elder, your strength remains essential as long as you’re healthy.”
Li Jin’s face lit up with joy. She realized that Xia Wan had a way with words.
Li Jin smiled. “You’re indeed a shrewd businesswoman. Your eloquence is admirable. You’re right. The children are grown now. It’s unjust to burden an old woman like me with everything.”
Song Yan and Chen Lian sensed a discrepancy. Li Jin used to flare up whenever she saw Xia Wan, but now, she was smiling warmly. This shift was abnormal.
Li Jin personally escorted Xia Wan to her doorstep, even reminding her to return for a health check when time allowed.
Upon returning home, Li Jin immediately laid down and requested Song Yan and Chen Lian to cook for her. She emphasized the need to prioritize her well-being.
Song Yan and Chen Lian were displeased. They hadn’t called Xia Wan back to relay this message.
Song Yan couldn’t contain her frustration. “Mother, you can’t let Xia Wan deceive you. Have you forgotten we summoned her for financial assistance? Now, not only did we fail to secure funds, but you’ve also placed your trust in Xia Wan’s words.
“Mother, since Xia Wan proposed to look after you, she should be responsible for it. Why should the duty fall to us?”
Li Jin’s displeasure escalated at this comment. “What’s that supposed to mean? Xia Wan is my granddaughter; she can take care of me. You two are my daughters-in-law; are you incapable of looking after me?”
“Fine, I’ll make this known to everyone. I’ve labored all these years raising your husbands. Now that they’re leading comfortable lives with stable jobs, isn’t it their duty to be filial to me, their mother-in-law?”
Observing Li Jin’s rising agitation, Chen Lian quickly intervened. “Mother, please don’t be upset. That’s not our intent. We’re merely suggesting Xia Wan and others might not want us around, but you can visit alone.”
“Even if we’re apart, is it a big deal for you to stay at your son’s place for a few days?”
“Furthermore, Xia Wan has medical skills. You can ask her to attend to you daily.”
In the past, Li Jin might have been moved by such words. She would have considered going to Xia Wan’s home and receiving care.
However, her recent impression was that these two individuals regarded her as a burden and were unwilling to assist. This was unacceptable to her.
Li Jin huffed with cold disdain. “Don’t think I’m unaware of your thoughts. When Yan Han was around, she looked after me wholeheartedly. The family’s resources also went to your families. What’s wrong with expecting you to care for me now? Isn’t that your duty?”
Seeing Li Jin’s temper flare, Song Yan hastened to console her. “Mom, that’s not what we meant. Of course, we’re willing to take care of you.. What would you like to eat?”
