With that, Lu Rao turned to Mo Yesi and said, “Don’t worry, Old Madam is fine. She’ll probably be able to return after staying in the hospital for half a month. She’ll have to abstain from certain foods during this period. I’ll send you everything she needs to abstain from later.”
Mo Yesi nodded.
Lu Rao left after giving a few more instructions.
Qiao Mianmian poured a glass of water and placed it on the bed. She then got Mo Yesi to help Old Madam sit up.
Then, she fed the old lady some water. “Grandma, you must be thirsty. Have some water.”
Old Madam drank a few mouthfuls of water from her hand. She then looked up and saw Qiao Mianmian being obedient, filial, and sensible. She liked this granddaughter-in-law even more and was even more satisfied now.
She still had a lingering fear when she thought about what happened today.
She thought for a while and held Qiao Mianmian’s hand. “Mianmian, do you know what Grandma was thinking when she fell down the stairs today?”
She looked at Qiao Mianmian and said slowly, “Back then, Grandma thought that I didn’t want to die. I wanted to live for a few more years. I haven’t seen Shixiu get married, and you and Ah Si haven’t given me a good great-grandchild.
“So, I begged God to let me live for a few more years. I really don’t want to die.
“God is still good to me. Look, I survived again. But after this, Grandma is still a little afraid.
“Will I be so lucky next time?”
“Grandma, don’t say that.” Qiao Mianmian frowned. “You’ll definitely live a long life. This won’t happen again.”
Old Madam chuckled and patted the back of her hand. “Child, everyone thinks so. But it’s hard to say whether you won’t suffer an accident tomorrow. So, Grandma is afraid that when that day es, she will still have regrets.
“Are you and Ah Si really not considering having a child now? Of course, Grandma knows that you’re busy with your career, and it’s not good to have children too early in your line of work. But can you start preparing now?
“And Shixiu, how’s your relationship with that girl? Do you have plans to get married? In my opinion, there’s no need to date for so long. As long as you confirm each other’s feelings, it’s best to get married early.
“After marriage, we can slowly build a relationship. Aren’t Ah Si and Mianmian like this?”
Mo Shixiu responded calmly, “Grandma, it’s not that I don’t want to get married now, but your future granddaughter-in-law doesn’t have such plans. If she’s willing, I can get married to her anytime.”
Old Madam was stunned and then frowned. “How could she not have such plans? Is it because you don’t treat her well enough and she doesn’t have confidence in you, so she doesn’t want to marry you?”
“She said that she’s still young and doesn’t consider marriage for the time being.” Mo Shixiu respected Jiang Luoli, so he wouldn’t force her.
He could wait.
When she was willing, marriage would happen naturally.
Old Madam wasn’t satisfied with his answer.
She frowned. “But you’re already 30. Under normal circumstances, you’d have gotten married and have children already. How many years will you have to wait until she’s ready?”
