Stealing Your Heart

Grandma Su felt lonely. She looked at the helper that was wiping the table and said, “Why are you working as a helper here? You seem almost the age of a grandma now.”

Aunt Ji replied, “I have two sons. My eldest son is married and has children, I am a grandmother now.”

“What about your younger son?” Grandma Su asked.

“He’s not married yet,” Aunt Ji replied.

Grandma Su soon felt bored with Aunt Ji’s curt replies. She sighed and wheeled herself back into her room.

The room also felt empty as she picked up a photo on the table. It was a photo of her younger self and her husband.

She was sitting on a chair while her husband stood behind her. She felt as if she could see her younger self through the photo.

“I’m getting old,” Grandma Su said with a hint of melancholy in her voice. “Su Zhan is angry with me. He must be blaming me for what happened. But I just wanted him to have a child and ensure the Su has an heir. Am I wrong?”

No one responded as the young couple in the photo smiled at her.

She held onto the photo. “Is it time for me to meet you?”

“Sigh…”

Grandma Su sat in her room for a long time. Su Zhan returned home early that day. He came back just as Aunt Ji was done preparing dinner.

Grandma Su was very happy to see him back as she said, “Quickly wash your hands and let’s have dinner. I specially requested Aunt Ji to cook your favorite…”

Thud!

Su Zhan closed the door after him before she could even finish speaking.
