How can I repay you?

To make things worse, her illness had become worse than before and her house rent had expired.

The whole world felt like it was crashing down on her as she was being maltreated and disrespected by the landlord and his little family.He later gave her house to another tenant.

Where would she go now?! She had no home in the village anymore as she had sold her plot of land to start a business for her son which failed.

Sue Ning was outside of the gate sitting on the floor in her dirty tattered clothes. They had thrown her out of the house.

She was hopeless.

She bent down and started to laugh. Her shoulders shook pitifully as she was laughing aloud. She had no where to go now. If she took this case to court, she would be on a loosing end because she couldn't even afford to fight for her case.

Suddenly she heard footsteps and the person stopped in front of her. She didn't even bother to look at the person.

As it was a really cold day, she was shivering. She felt something drape over her and looked up to see a dashing young boy with stunning sapphire eyes and mint green hair.

"Grand mama... are you okay?"Came his melodious voice laced with concern.

Grand mama... that was was her grandson and daughter would always call her.

All the grief and sadness and pain poured out of her and she started to crying. The word Grand mama was what she missed.

She had lost her son and his family in a fire when she went out to buy some groceries for them with her neighbor. That was when she recently came to the City because her son always begged her to come visit them for a while.

She was a village woman who preferred the quiet and peaceful life of the villages than the bustling life of. the City.

The harsh reality of death had forced her to try and adapt here in the City to earn money by herself.

Her grandchildren would always call her Grand mama with concern just the way he did. She realized that he was a student in from another high school as he had removed his coat and covered her with it. His uniform coat scented like Tulips.

...

He skipped school that day to take her to a restaurant to eat. He was appalled to find out that she hadn't eaten.

As he sat with her, he decided to question why she was lost. She was looking really skinny and weak as her skin was showing yellow spots.

He then forced her to go to the hospital and constantly visited her everyday with food and medication.

After about a week, she decided to open up to him and pour out her problems and grief to him.

One day,he came to her as usual with foods and vegetables casually dropping the bomb on her head.

"In five days time, you will be employed as the head of cooking staffs in Moonstone High school and I will make sure it happens." He had promised.

She didn't know what had happened, but exactly five days later she was employed as the head of the cooking staffs and the school payment were tenfold better than her previous income.

She found out that her former landlord lost all his houses as he was charged for a crime that went viral on the net and the land was given to her. The principal that had maltreated her for long was also faced with charges for criminal offenses and embezzlement and hence he lost his job along with every staffs in the school being replaced.

It felt so impossible like a dream.

She later knew this boy as Bai Chen and was eternally grateful for his love and kindness. She had come to accept him as her grandson when he insisted.

"How can I repay you?" She had asked, her voice trembling.

He smiled and said "Love as much as you live and live as much as you breathe."

He was always looking for her in school to chat or make sure she was happy and okay. He visited her family's graves with her and took her out for walks.

She was always waiting for death to come so she could join her family, but now because of this young angel, she was willing to live on for them.

Life is different in terms of perception for different people and it doesn't have to be good permanently or bad permanently. It's all about finding the balance between good and bad.

She quickly snapped out of her thoughts and continued eating. Some how this buns felt really sweet and warm for her and she smiled.
