Transmigrated as the Mother of the Abused Male Lead in a Tragic Novel

Chapter 58

Although her first live stream was awkward from start to finish and she felt very uncomfortable, the response was surprisingly good and the reward ranking rose to the top ten for a while.

Ding Sha let out a big sigh of relief after ending the stream, patting her chest, "You scared me to death, thank goodness it's over."

Du Rourou was reading the comments when she suddenly cried out in surprise after a while, "Oh my god, that's way too much money!"

Ding Sha curiously leaned over to take a look as well, widening her eyes in surprise, "Wow! Really a lot!"

"But we still have to give half to the platform," Ding Sha thought about it and said, "If there's money left after that, let's donate it."

"Huh? Donate?" Du Rourou was puzzled.

"Yeah, let's donate it, whether to the hospital or to the school, or use it to buy benefits for doctors, police officers and firefighters if nothing else," Ding Sha stretched lazily, "There's no end to earning money, and it's not like we're lacking money now anyway. We might as well use it to help others instead."

"Sis Ding Sha, aren't you like a goddess of mercy?" Du Rourou couldn't help but giggle behind her hand, "If others knew they'd all say you have a saintly heart."

"I'm too lazy to care what they say," Ding Sha didn't mind at all, "I'll just take it as accumulating virtues for little Ping'an."

Saying that, she solemnly put her palms together with eyes closed, chanting, "Bodhisattva? Buddha? God? Can you all hear me? I hope all these blessings go to my son Xiao Sijin, you must give them to him, okay?"

Xiao Jun happened to walk by and started chanting as well, "Bodhisattva, Buddha, God, don't listen to her no matter what. It's best to split it between my wife and my son half each..."

Hearing this, Ding Sha opened her eyes to glare at him, though the corners of her lips were turned up.

"Oh yes, Teacher Lin said he'd bring students over Friday morning." Xiao Jun remembered the call he just received.

"That's still two days away. Just enough time for a thorough cleaning." Ding Sha thought aloud.

They couldn't let others film with dust all over the place in disarray.

"Oh yes! Sis Ding Sha, I want to take tomorrow off. It's my grandfather's 90th birthday and I can't make it." Du Rourou suddenly remembered something she kept forgetting to mention.

"No problem, approved." Ding Sha waved her hand breezily.

"I also wanted to order some dishes. I'll give you the list later and come pick them up tomorrow, is that okay?" Du Rourou asked.

"Of course, I'll have them ready by 11am tomorrow. Just come pick them up."

Du Rourou ordered some relatively complicated dishes not convenient to make at home. Ding Sha even made an additional sweet potato filled longevity peach bun, pretty and tasty.

When Du Rourou came to pick up the food at around 11am the next day, everything was ready. Ding Sha helped pack it up for her, "Oh yes, congratulations to your grandfather on his longevity as well."

Du Rourou grinned, "Sis, Boss, come along if you're not too busy. My grandfather wants me to bring you back too."

"Huh?" Ding Sha was stunned for a moment.

"I'm not sure that's appropriate..."

Ding Sha quickly waved her hands to decline.

"What's inappropriate? My grandfather often said he wanted to meet you. He's getting on in years and it's inconvenient for him to go out, which is why he hasn't come. Now that it's his birthday, he also hopes to see you and Boss." Du Rourou held Ding Sha's arm sincerely.

Ding Sha couldn't refuse, so she called out to Xiao Jun and the two hurriedly tidied up before following Du Rourou to her grandfather's house.

The old man lived in a small siheyuan courtyard residence that was elegant and cozy inside.

Since it was the old gentleman's birthday, there were quite a few people who all smiled and greeted Du Rourou when they saw her, "Rourou you're back!"

Du Rourou greeted them one by one, brought the food to the kitchen for her mother, then led Ding Sha and Xiao Jun to the study.

The old gentleman's hair was all white, but he seemed hale and hearty despite sitting in a wheelchair, face wreathed in smiles with kindly benevolent eyes.

"Rourou you're back?" Wen Ruxuan was very happy to see Du Rourou.

Du Rourou smiled as she walked over and crouched down, "I'm back, grandpa! I also brought along Sis Ding Sha and Boss Xiao!"

"Good, wonderful." Wen Ruxuan looked extremely happy. He gazed at the somewhat bashful and nervous Ding Sha and Xiao Jun, beckoning them over with his hand, "Come here, child."

Ding Sha immediately walked over with Xiao Jun, "Good day, sir. Congratulations on your longevity, may you live as long as the East Sea."

Wen Ruxuan laughed kindly, "Thank you lass. My wife's health hasn't been good lately so she's sleeping. I'll bring you to meet her after she wakes."

Ding Sha quickly said, "Please let the elderly rest well..."

Wen Ruxuan asked Du Rourou to make tea for them, "Have a seat, don't keep standing. Must be tiring."

"I kept hearing Rourou talk about you all the time so I wanted to meet you. This girl has an impulsive personality, must have caused you trouble."

"No trouble at all. She's helped me a lot, I should be thanking her instead." Ding Sha earnestly replied.

Hearing this, Wen Ruxuan was happy as well, "Anyway, thank you. I know what this child is like too since she's told me a lot. Meeting you has also been good fortune for her."

Speaking, he shakily wheeled the chair to the side. Ding Sha stood up to help him. He pointed to the desk and Ding Sha pushed him over.

Wen Ruxuan pulled open the drawer and took out a pair of small gold ornaments, "I have something I want to give you."

"We can't accept such a fine gift," Ding Sha quickly refused.

"They aren't anything precious," Wen Ruxuan spread open his hand, "My wife and I had these when we were young. It has a nice meaning, bless you two as husband and wife, growing old together white-haired."

Xiao Jun also walked over.

Cradled in the old, spotty hand were two tiny bean pedant charms.

"These bean charms are gold but still not worth much, too small," Wen Ruxuan said, "But they're carved love beans."

He held them out to Ding Sha, "Just to invoke good omens, child please accept them."

Ding Sha reached out to take them over, then looked at Xiao Jun.

"Thank you, sir." Xiao Jun solemnly said.

"I'm old now, seen too many things," Wen Ruxuan said, "No regrets other than hoping everyone's well."

"You must be blissful."

After the birthday feast, late into the night, Ding Sha would still take out the love bean pendant to look at and touch from time to time.

"I really like the old gentleman," Ding Sha suddenly said.

Xiao Jun uncharacteristically didn't express any jealousy, also fondling the pendant charm, "Mm."

"They had such a good relationship."

"The old gentleman kept holding his wife's hand without letting go."

"The way he looked at her brimmed with deep love."

"We'll also be like them, still celebrating birthdays together when we're 90 right?" Ding Sha rolled over to look at Xiao Jun.

"Definitely, it's guaranteed." Xiao Jun gently placed a kiss without any lust on the tip of her nose.

"I vow to you that when we're 90, I'll still be by your side."

Ding Sha didn't say anything, simply burrowing into his embrace.

"Sleep."

At this moment the two hearts drew exceptionally close.
