Chapter 541 Powder Keg
After some effort, the old lady finally stood up slowly with the help of her aunt.
Due to lying down for a long time, her body seemed a little stiff. When she stood up suddenly, her vision suddenly became much higher, which made her feel a little uncomfortable and even a little dizzy.
The old lady calmed herself down, looked around, and a happy smile appeared on her face.
However, her legs were still somewhat out of control and aching, and it was obvious that they had not fully recovered yet.
If you want to walk completely on your own, it will probably take some time for you to recuperate and exercise.
However, being able to stand up with help is a big improvement for her.
The old lady slowly raised her feet and moved forward cautiously. Each step seemed a little difficult.
Her steps were very small, and she could only move forward bit by bit. She didn't dare take big steps, for fear that she would fall if she was not careful.
However, despite such difficulties, we still insist on moving forward step by step.
After walking for a distance, my body began to feel exhausted.
Her legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and sweat slid down her forehead, soaking her collar.
The aunt beside her was also in a bad mood. Her arms were tightly grasped by the old lady, and she had no hands free to wipe the sweat off her face.
Sweat kept flowing, some of it slid down her cheeks, and some of it dripped directly onto the ground, forming a small puddle of water.
The old lady's voice seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, and she finally couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief: "Okay, I need to rest for a while."
When the aunt heard this, she felt relieved, and felt that this was simply the sound of nature! She wanted to let go immediately so that she could relax and feel relieved for a while.
However, reality does not allow her to do so.
He carefully placed the old lady's arm on his shoulder and then carried her back with difficulty.
After finally putting the man down, the aunt let out a long sigh of relief, "Huh~"
She panted and complained in her heart: I only get so little money a day, and I have to do all this work. It's really exhausting! But fortunately, I should be able to return home soon, and then I can get rid of this hard job.
"I'll pour you a bowl of water." Aunt said as she poured two bowls of water.
She picked up the water, tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp. After finishing it, she smacked her lips in satisfaction.
However, the old lady's mind was not on the bowl of water at all at this moment.
She was always thinking about Ni'er, and thought that if she came, she would definitely give her a good scolding and destroy her arrogance.
Although he admitted that he liked to take advantage of small opportunities, he had never committed murder for money like Ni'er did.
Don't underestimate Ni'er because she is young. Her methods are even more ruthless than those of people her age.
The old lady took the water handed to her by her aunt, took a sip absentmindedly, and then glanced at her aunt casually.
Just then, she suddenly noticed a sparkling drop of water hanging at the corner of her aunt's mouth.
"Did you drink water just now?" There was a hint of surprise in the old lady's voice.
My aunt nodded, not noticing the strangeness in the other person's tone.
However, at this moment, the old lady suddenly burst into a nameless fire like a lit powder keg.
"When you poured the water just now, you drank it first. Don't you feel that there is something wrong?" The old lady's voice was sharp and harsh, with obvious dissatisfaction and blame.
The aunt then woke up from her dream. It turned out that the old lady was angry over such a trivial matter.
She couldn't help but feel a little surprised, thinking that she had just helped the old lady walk for a while, was sweating and very thirsty, so she drank a sip of water first. Was there anything wrong with that?
"I... I'm really thirsty." Aunt tried to explain, her voice trembling slightly.
However, the old lady did not buy it. She continued to insist, "You are thirsty? Am I not thirsty?"
"I'm much older than you, and you're the one who came here to take care of me, so shouldn't you let me drink first?"
"You, on the other hand, not only did you drink first, but you also acted so confidently, as if it was natural. How can you be so shameless!"
After hearing what the old lady said, the aunt was a little confused.
She never expected that the old lady would be so fussy about such a small matter and use such harsh words.
She couldn't help but feel helpless and aggrieved. She had just drunk a sip of water, was it necessary to make such a big fuss?
My aunt lowered her head and didn't want to argue with her.
Seeing this, the old lady became even more aggressive, "Not on purpose? Then what do you mean?"
When the aunt heard the old lady's words, her anger gradually rose.
She felt that the old lady was simply unreasonable. After the last quarrel with her, she calmed down for a few days, but now she is back to her old ways again, even worse than before.
She couldn't help but sigh secretly that if anyone had such a difficult old man in their family, they would be unlucky for the rest of their lives.
However, having said that, no matter what, there is not much time left to take care of her, so it is better not to bother with her for the time being.
After all, she is just an old woman with limited mobility, and apart from saying harsh words, she doesn't actually have any other abilities.
I will definitely not do anything to her. At least I will wait until she is fully recovered, and then I will go to her to argue with her and vent all the resentment in my heart.
"I will definitely give you the first choice when drinking water next time. Do you want another bowl?" the aunt asked softly.
The old lady glared at her fiercely and replied unhappily: "Are you trying to burst my stomach? No!"
Suddenly I remembered that there is something important that I haven’t discussed yet, and it is much more important than whether to drink water or not.
The old lady raised her voice and acted pretentiously, "That Niu Xiaoni hasn't come here recently. Next time you go to get medicine, remember to tell her and ask her to come and bring it to me."
When my aunt heard this, she suddenly felt a strong sense of nausea.
This old lady loves to find work when she has nothing to do. She could have spent the day quietly, but unexpectedly, she had more work to do.
The aunt suppressed her inner dissatisfaction, forced a smile, and responded: "Okay, I'll go over now. Old lady, is there anything else you need me to do?"
The old lady slowly raised her hand and waved it casually, indicating that the aunt could go.
The aunt was as if she had been pardoned. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly heard the old lady shout again: "Hey, come back~"
The aunt stopped helplessly, complaining in her heart.
