I suggested finding a place for Xiaohua. I knew she couldn't stay at home any longer; her son and daughter-in-law had never liked her and had always been harsh with her. Now, it seemed they had even resorted to hitting her because of my involvement.
But Xiaohua firmly refused.
"Grandma, I know you’ve worked hard," she said. "But you're getting older, and your health isn't good."
"I just found a job not long ago. If you find me a place to live..." Xiaohua lowered her head.
I understood what she meant. She didn't want to trouble me.
"Then why don't you just live with me?" I proposed a compromise.
Xiaohua thought for a moment and eventually agreed.
When Xiaohua arrived at my house, she was stunned.
"Grandma, is this really your home now?"
"It's so beautiful!"
"It's completely different from the old place."
Xiaohua was right. The old house was filled with my late husband’s stinky socks, piles of dirty clothes from my son, and takeout boxes carelessly thrown around by my daughter-in-law. The whole place was a mess.
Now, my home was clean and tidy. A few pots of small flowers sat on the windowsill.
The entire house was filled with a pleasant fragrance. On my bookshelf sat foreign books, one after another. On the balcony, there was an unfinished oil painting of mine.
"Grandma, you really are amazing."
"Did you paint all these oil paintings?"
I smiled and nodded. Little Hua took my hand, and I led her to explore my new home.
"Grandma, you can finally live for yourself."
"I support you."
I gently patted her head with a smile.
"Little Hua, you've grown up now."
"You need to take good care of yourself too."
"If you ever feel wronged, you must tell me."
Little Hua nodded.
That day, Little Hua and I had tea together. She lifted her teacup and raised it toward me.
"Grandma, a toast with tea instead of wine."
"Congratulations on your new life, Grandma!"
From today onward, I was no longer anyone's wife or mother. I was just myself, Su Ki.
That day, Little Hua and I talked about many things she didn't know. In truth, before I got married, I was a highly talented student; I had simply been blinded by so-called love back then. I had given up my dream of painting for my partner, but now that I'm older, it's not too late.
Little Hua held my hand tightly.
"Grandma, keep going!"
"You will definitely succeed!"
I nodded seriously.
From now on, I am determined to study art-related knowledge earnestly.
Every day, I sit by my desk, flipping through book after book, taking notes.
Xiaohua was inspired by me and picked up a book to study alongside me.
"Grandma, I've noticed you're completely different from before."
Curiously, I asked, "What's different?"
Xiaohua replied earnestly, "You seem more energetic than before."
"You embrace many new things."
"Like takeout, KFC."
I laughed and said, "I used to think those things were just for young people."
"But after I tried them, I found they are really good food."
"I like them a lot."
Xiaohua smiled.
"Grandma, you’re quite young now too."
"Let’s go out and have some fun this afternoon."
"I'll wear my Hanfu, and you can take pictures of me."
"Sure!" I agreed readily.
Ever since Xiaohua moved out, I've become more positive and motivated.
I help Xiaohua with her packages and experience the joy of shopping like a young person.
That evening, just as Xiaohua was preparing dinner for me, the doorbell rang.
