Chapter 510 Scare
She was so scared that beads of sweat kept rolling down her forehead. She wiped the sweat off with her hands and glanced fiercely at her aunt beside her.
She scolded him angrily, "You are such a blind man, can't you see that I'm sweating so much? Why don't you come over and wipe it for me? You are such a blockhead!"
Then, she turned her gaze to Ni'er who was standing beside her and shouted angrily, "And you, little girl! Don't curse my precious grandson again!"
However, facing grandma's rebuke, Ni'er pretended not to hear it and continued to talk to herself: "Besides, there is such a big crack in the wall! How can people live here? The house might suddenly collapse one day, and then everyone living inside will be buried underneath! Besides, the room with the crack is the one you live in, grandma!"
Hearing this, the old lady couldn't help but fall into deep thought. She thought to herself that what Ni'er said was not unreasonable.
However, what confused her was that, logically speaking, Ni'er should have hated her, so why would she come here specifically to say these words of reminder?
According to common sense, she should have ignored the matter and watched it coldly! Thinking of this, the old lady felt that the situation in front of her was a little weird and unpredictable.
Slowly raising her eyelids, she looked up and down at the person in front of her. Nier's expression was like a calm lake, without any ripples, making it difficult for people to discern the deeper meaning behind it.
After a moment of silence, he finally broke the silence and asked directly, "Why did you come here to tell me this? If I really go back like this, you should be happy."
The corners of Ni'er's mouth slightly raised, outlining a faint smile, but a hint of cunning and determination flashed in her eyes inadvertently. Obviously, she had already foreseen the questions that grandma might ask.
Then, she replied in a soft but clear voice: "Grandma, although we did have some unpleasantness in the past, I am definitely not the kind of narrow-minded person who only knows how to bear grudges."
"Besides, you are my elder anyway. Even if I know that you may not be happy with what I say, I think as a junior I should be honest with you."
"As for the final decision, it is of course entirely up to you."
In fact, deep down in Nier's heart, she was not as innocent as she appeared to be. She thought to herself that the so-called not bearing grudges was just a current excuse. She would definitely seek an opportunity to retaliate for this deep hatred, but the time was not yet ripe.
When the time is right, you must make the other person regret it! Moreover, since you have already promised to do something for someone else, you must do your best to achieve it. In this way, if anything goes wrong in the future, no one can blame you.
Besides, now that I have advised her kindly, if she still insists on her own way, others will not blame me for not considering family affection and failing to persuade her.
Not only that, if he hadn't come to deal with the matter, those yamen runners would definitely have been sent over to persuade them.
After all, if the old lady could stop her endless noisy behavior, it would undoubtedly be a good thing for the yamen runners, saving both effort and worry.
In this way, they can save a lot of unnecessary trouble and energy.
This means that I have done these yamen runners a favor and made them owe me a favor!
No matter from which perspective, the benefits of coming here far outweigh the possible disadvantages. In this case, what reason is there not to do it?
After hearing these words, the old lady's originally calm eyes suddenly trembled slightly, as if a hint of surprise and confusion flashed through her heart.
Obviously, deep down she didn't really believe that this young girl in front of her could be so open-minded and generous, and kept saying that she was doing it for herself.
I saw her frowning, as if she was thinking about something. After a while, she asked again: "Are you deliberately going around in circles to scare me, an old woman?"
Facing the old lady's questioning full of suspicion, Nier couldn't help but sigh deeply, revealing a hint of helplessness in her words: "Grandma, I really didn't mean to scare you in a roundabout way! Every word I said is the truth. If you think these things are unimportant, then I really don't have a better way."
"But then again, if you are determined to go back, I'm afraid no one can really stop you."
"If you don't believe what I say and think I'm a liar, then just go back."
After hearing this, the old lady was stunned for a moment, and then fell into silence.
In fact, deep down she really wanted to go back.
After all, lying on this cold and hard stretcher all day long, how can it be as comfortable as lying on your own bed at home? And no matter where you go, it will never be as comfortable as your own bed!
However, when she thought of the house that was already broken into pieces and about to fall down, her heart could not help but hang in the balance. The house was in such a dangerous state now. What if something really happened?
Ni'er, who was standing by, watched the old lady remain silent and understood that she must be in a dilemma at the moment.
So, Nier frowned and said, "Well, grandma, you should think about it carefully. Anyway, I have already told you everything I need to tell you."
As the saying goes, 'It's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words', there are some things she has to make her own decisions on.
If persuasion is useful, what's the point of building a wall?
"I have some things to take care of here, so I'll excuse myself first." After saying that, Ni'er turned around and prepared to leave.
At this time, the aunt who had been standing next to him without saying anything immediately responded: "Child, go and do your own thing. Be careful on the road. Walk slowly!"
The old lady narrowed her eyes slightly, thinking secretly about how to deal with the situation.
After a while, she slowly turned around, her eyes fell on the aunt beside her, and said, "In your opinion, if we ask the eldest brother to seal this crack tightly, and then find a way to tidy up the house, ventilate it, let it get some sunlight, etc., after a few days, can we live here again?"
Hearing this, my aunt couldn't help but sigh.
She muttered to herself: This old lady is really stubborn. She didn't even listen to a word of what others said to her! However, the aunt thought about it and decided that it was not easy to express her opinion on this matter.
