Chapter 440 – The Weight of Life

Yang Guoying has not been in a good mood lately, the divorce was a blow to her as well, especially in her old age when she’s going to end up alone, how can she be happy? Plus Shen Zhi’s pestering also made her upset and angry, so after getting her hair done she wanted to walk around and didn’t want to go back to work – right now she didn’t have much of a career and didn’t want to work that hard anymore.

At the same time she didn’t want to go home either, because what was the point of having an empty house with just her? Shen Yang was getting married, so naturally it was impossible for him to live with her. Even if Shen Yang has that filial piety, she does not intend to squeeze in with the young couple, for one thing, she does not want to give her son and daughter-in-law any trouble, for another, she is not old enough to need someone to take care of her.

Besides, between people or some distance is better, especially between him and ChuXiang need time to get along, living under one roof is not good for anyone, rather than slowly get along with each other, time has long feelings have, to her need to take care of people around, live in ChuXiang’s home or their young couple come to their own home will not have any problem.

She didn’t want to go home for another reason, that is, she knew that Zi Shan was going to get married, and after thinking for a long time, she couldn’t think of a suitable gift, Zi Shan doesn’t lack of money, even if she sends a mountain of gold and silver, it still doesn’t represent her heart, and there are still things that can make Zi Shan accept it – she knows how Zi Shan feels about her.

Not to buy things for Zi Shan, she just wanted to walk, but did not expect to walk out not a few steps, looked up to see Zi Shan holding the baby’s hand to face over, there is a surprise in the heart, and hastily walked two steps she opened her mouth: “Baby, how come you didn’t go to kindergarten today?”

Yang Guoying knew that Zi Shan wouldn’t pay attention to her, that’s why she opened her mouth to talk to the baby first.

The baby looked at her and smiled, “I came out with mommy to try on dresses.”

Zi Shan didn’t smile but she didn’t treat her as air either, “Shen Zhi is right behind, he’s been chasing me to get me to open my mouth to get you guys remarried.” Here she paused, “It’s not like I’m asking you to do anything, it’s just annoying to see him.”

Yang Guoying did not expect Shen Zhi to be there, “He’s here? Actually stalking me, he’s really getting better,” she glanced behind Zi Shan, “Don’t mind him, I’ll take care of it. By the way, what color does Chuxiang like, I bought a pair of porcelain plates I want to give to them, I just don’t know if they will find it too plain.”

Zishan did not want to answer, but thought that Chuxiang will be Yang Guoying’s daughter-in-law in the future, and did not want to make their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law not get along because of themselves, so she opened her mouth, “What you sent is a token of your appreciation, and Chuxiang is not a picky person.”

Yang Guoying smiled, her smile had a pleasing meaning, “Yes, yes, I know.” She didn’t know what to say to Zi Shan next, so she bent down and stroked the baby’s head, “Does the dress look good, granny thinks the baby will look good in anything.”

The baby happily points to the bag in Zi Shan’s hand, “It’s very pretty. I’ll wear it when mom and uncle Jiang get married, and I’ll have to change my clothes, Highlander they only have one dress, I have two dresses – their mom only promised them one more corsage, haha.”

Yang Guoying was also amused by the baby and laughed, “Well, who let them be boys, one more set will be the same style, right? It’s not like girls have a lot of styles to choose from.”

Zishan didn’t interrupt the baby and Yang Guoying’s conversation, nor did she show too much impatience, she just looked forward – there are a lot of cars at this time of the day, hasn’t Jiang Tao’s car come over yet?

Yang Guoying held the baby’s little hand, and when she straightened up, she said to Zi Shan, “I’ll just go first, that ……” Her face suddenly changed, seeing a black car that came rushing by, actually rushing onto the sidewalk!

People’s screams then sounded, but the car is already close at hand, even if Yang Guoying recognized that the car is Shen Zhi’s, there is no way to stop him, she simply did not even have time to think, very intuitively reached out and pushed the baby to the inside, and then went to push Zi Shan fiercely.

Zi Shan heard screams coming from behind her, her natural reaction was to pull the baby with one hand, and at the same time turned back to look behind her, she saw the car speeding almost to the front of her eyes – the sound of the car’s engine in this noisy street, would not have attracted her attention to come, and now she noticed, but it was also too late.

The car almost in the blink of an eye in front of her, driving Shen Zhi’s hideous face Zi Shan can see clearly, even if it is the passenger side of Shen Yi Yi, the face covered with fear also fell into her eyes.

The sound of the baby crying out in pain was ringing in her ears, and she could feel her body involuntarily falling to the side, the wind brought up by the car blowing up her clothes and blowing her even further backward.

Zisan was still in shock from seeing Shen Zhi drive over, when she landed heavily on the ground, not far from her side was the baby who had tumbled a few times – as she climbed up and was about to go and hold the baby, she heard louder screams from the people behind her, and at that moment she suddenly remembered that there should have been another person where she was standing just now.

Yang Guoying, Yang Guoying was standing right across from their mother and daughter, and just now it was also Yang Guoying who had pushed her so hard that she couldn’t help but fall backwards – it happened so fast that it was only now when she could think of some of the details that she suddenly realized where was Yang Guoying?

She turned around and saw the car that had stopped, crashed into the roadside dumpster, had knocked the dumpster out of place and pushed it two or three meters away, and Yang Guoying’s people didn’t see it, and what they could see was the people who had gathered up not far from the dumpster, and Shen Zhi’s howling.

The baby crawled over, “Mommy, Mommy!” The baby was terrified, clutching Zi Shan’s clothes with a death grip, burying his head between Zi Shan’s legs: “I’m scared, I’m so scared.”

Zi Shan picked up the baby and rushed to the crowd, not bothering to say anything to the child, she heard people yelling, “Ambulance, call an ambulance.”

Squeezed into the crowd of Zi Shan saw is lying on the ground half of the blood of Yang Guoying, Shen Zhi is kneeling at her side want to pick her up but was stopped.

“Guoying, Guoying.” Shen Zhi cried snot and tears, he really can not accept everything in front of him, once he wanted to use his life to save Yang Guoying, but did not think that hair will become the murderer of Yang Guoying.

Zishan pounced over: “you, you ……” she shook her hand but simply can not hold the phone, can only beg the people around: “ambulance, ambulance.”

Yang Guoying struggled hard to raise his head, “You, no, have, matter ……”

Zishan hurriedly held one of her hands, “I’m fine, the child is fine, how are you, you can’t sleep ah, look at me don’t sleep, don’t close your eyes!” She cried out as she spoke, “Yang Guoying, you can’t die, you have to live for me to hate, you can’t die like this, you can’t die.”

Yang Guoying’s hand moved slightly, looking at Zi Shan he wanted to say something but he no longer had the strength, he could only try to open his eyes and look at Zi Shan.

The baby cried out, she just hugged Zi Shan and cried bitterly, hugging her mother tightly – it was the first time she had faced such a situation, and the mother-in-law who had just joked and laughed with her was now lying in a pool of blood, life and death were just so bloody in front of a child, what could she do other than cry?

Shen Zhi suddenly punched Zi Shan: “It’s all because of you, you killed Guoying I won’t live to pay for your life.”

A hand fiercely gripped his collar and pulled back before letting his fist swing empty, Jiang Tao threw Shen Zhi on the ground over hugging the baby: “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, uncle is here.”

He said words crouched down to hold Zi Shan: “Do not cry, the ambulance will arrive in a while,” he then looked to the ground Yang Guoying: “Hold on, if you really feel sorry for Zi Shan, no matter how difficult to hold on to over, do you understand?”

Yang Guoying’s eyes were already slowly closing, she didn’t want to close her eyes, but she really didn’t have the strength, all she could hear was Jiang Tao’s yelling in her ears, “If you really love Zi Shan, if you really want Zi Shan to know that she has a mother, you have to survive, no matter what.”

Her fingers twitched, yes, survive, it would just hit Zixan hard if she just left, right? She couldn’t let Vixen carry another heavy burden, so she’d live.

Zi Shan watched the doctors come over and pounced over to Yang Guoying’s ear screaming with all her strength, “I haven’t even called you mom, you can’t die, do you hear me, you can’t die.”

The doctors carried Yang Guoying to the car, Zisan cried and fell on Jiang Tao’s body, “She can’t die, she won’t die, will she?” She couldn’t bear such a weight, and the affection she wanted wasn’t this heavy.

She never wanted a person to love her with his life, she just wanted a warm, waiting lamp for her, just wanted a caring, gentle smiling face when she got home, just wanted the warm, cool palm that was pressed to her forehead when she was sick.

Zishan cried out, she could not accept this result, she would rather that the person lying on the ground was her, would rather that the person facing the threat of death was her.

Why, why would Yang Guoying be so desperate for her after treating her so cruelly? Why, the person who saved her was Yang Guoying?

Jiang Tao hugged Zi Shan tightly, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” He hadn’t thought that something like this would happen when he went to drive his kung fu, that damn quarrelsome people who blocked the driveway-if it wasn’t them, how could he possibly let Zi Shan face something like this?

Shen Zhi stood blankly in place, there were people staring at him to prevent him from escaping, the traffic police were on their way, he was so scared that his whole body was trembling – was Yang Guoying going to die? Yang Guoying was going to die.

He suddenly took out a lighter, and took out cigarettes, the people next to him thought he was going to smoke did not pay attention to him, he shook the lighter, and then dismantled the lighter murmured: “no oil?” He wiped the lighter with his shirt and then in one fell swoop he had the lighter sparking.

He hemmed and hawed, “Guoying, I’ll go ahead and wait for you.” He didn’t bother to light the cigarette, but instead lit his clothes.
