Chapter 289 Things Are Not What You Think

Hearing that they were going out, the old man who had been silent finally moved, avoided Sang Yu's hand, and retreated using his hands and feet.

He returned it while shaking his head: "No, no, no, I can't go out."

He was able to move and talk, and was conscious, and didn't look like he was suffocating or lacking oxygen. Sang Yu was completely relieved and didn't force him to go out to breathe fresh air.

"Old lady, since you don't want to go out, then don't go out. I came to see Xiaohu for something, and he's not at home. Can you wait for him here?"

Sang Yu's words were purely an excuse. The distance between the two houses was not so far that she had to wait here for Xiaohu to come back.

It was just that I saw the old lady was alone, and I was afraid that she would have an attack and accidentally bite her tongue without anyone to take care of her.

If her guess was correct, the disease the old lady in front of her suffered from was what is commonly known as epilepsy.

Although she didn't know why Xiaohu wanted to hide this matter, it was everyone else's right to tell others or not, and she didn't need to make it public.

Old Mrs. Jin looked at her doubtfully at first, but when she saw that she really had no intention of forcing herself to go out, she stopped backing away.

She tried hard to force a smile and smiled at Sang Yu: "Do as you please." Then she supported herself on the ground with her hands and tried to stand up slowly.

Looking at her slow and unsteady movements, Sang Yu finally couldn't stand by and watch any longer.

She first asked, "Old lady, can I help you?" Only after getting the other party's consent did she step forward to help.

He helped the other person sit down on a chair with a backrest, and after the other person was seated firmly, Sang Yu returned to his previous position.

He neither asked in depth why the other party was tied up and almost strangled to death, nor did he say anything.

She originally thought that she just happened to hear the cry for help and saved someone, but Mrs. Jin was extremely panicked.

"Young lady..." She hesitated for a long time and called out softly.

Knowing she was talking to him, Sang Yu immediately responded: "I'm here, what's going on? Do you want some water?"

She wanted to pour him a glass of water, but after looking around the room, she couldn't find even a kettle or a bowl. She didn't know if they were not there or if they were put away specially.

"No." Old Lady Jin shook her head and slowly made her request, her words quite sincere. "Could you please not tell anyone about this, young lady?"

It turned out that he hoped she would keep quiet. Sang Yu readily nodded in agreement: "That's what I should do."

The people in the village talk about the Zhang family today and the Wang family tomorrow. At first, they just made up some gossip to have some fun because life was too boring, but rumors can also hurt people.

It may be an ordinary thing, but from the time it is spread out to the time it reaches the ears of the person involved, there may be huge differences and unexpected consequences.

Since the grandparents and grandchildren had been keeping the matter secret, she naturally wouldn't make it public.

Perhaps because she agreed too quickly, Mrs. Jin felt that she was just trying to please her, and the sadness on her face deepened for a moment.

The two of them sat quietly, each thinking about something, but not talking much. The scene seemed a little weird.

There were noises and footsteps outside the house. Sang Yu stuck his head out to look and saw that it was Xiaohu who came back.

Seeing his own door open from afar, Xiaohu's heart tightened and he quickly quickened his pace. When he saw that his grandmother's door was also open, he became even more panicked.

"Grandma, Grandma, are you okay?"

Before I even entered the door, Xiaohu's voice came over.

When Mrs. Jin heard his voice, she was delighted and was about to stand up to greet her grandson. However, she had just stood up halfway when she couldn't control her fingers and mouth twitching.

Seeing this, Sang Yu hurried forward, pulled out the dagger hidden at his waist, pinched her mouth open, and stuffed the unsharpened side between her teeth to prevent her from accidentally biting her tongue while twitching.

When Xiaohu came in, he saw Sang Yu pinching his grandmother's mouth with a dagger across her mouth.

Suddenly realizing that his actions could easily cause misunderstanding, Sang Yu quickly explained: "Things are not what you think..."

She was just forced by the situation. She couldn't find anything else for the old lady to bite, so she had to use the dagger.

Fortunately, after a brief moment of daze, Xiaohu noticed that his grandmother's hands were twitching constantly, and realized that Sang Yu was saving her instead of harming her. He quickly calmed down and stepped forward to help control Mrs. Jin's hands.

After a lot of trouble, this short epileptic seizure came to an end. Old Mrs. Jin, with a red face and sweaty forehead, lowered her head in shame.

She obviously didn't want to embarrass her grandson, but she didn't expect that what she feared most would come true and she would have an attack in front of the young lady.

Seeing that the old lady had returned to normal, Sang Yu carefully pulled out the dagger that was on the tip of her teeth and held it in her hand again.

"Ms. Sang, thank you very much for your help in this matter." Xiaohu, who always had a smile on his face, thanked Sang Yu with a serious face for the first time.

"I happened to hear the old lady's cry for help, so I barged in without permission. Please don't blame me, Brother Xiaohu."

After all, tying him to a rocking chair is not a long-term solution. There are various hidden dangers and disadvantages. Sang Yu has to explain to him what happened just now to avoid such an accident from happening again next time.

When Xiaohu heard Sang Yu talking about how her grandmother fell to the ground along with the rocking chair and was almost strangled to death, he had already clenched his fists.

He almost killed my grandmother...

No, that's not right.

If Miss Sang had not come to find him for something, what he would have to face at this moment would be his grandmother's cold corpse.

Thinking of this, Xiaohu's face turned pale instantly, his clothes on the back were soaked with cold sweat, and he was filled with fear.

"I want to ask you for help with something. Let's go out and talk." Sang Yu glanced at Mrs. Jin who was looking depressed with her head down, and winked at Xiaohu, telling him to go out.

Xiaohu looked at his grandmother hesitantly. He wanted to keep an eye on her to prevent her from getting sick again, but when he saw Sang Yu shaking her head slightly, he immediately understood and agreed.

"Grandma, please take a rest first. I'll go talk to the young lady and will be back soon."

After leaving the old lady's bedroom, Sang Yu walked forward a little further and stopped when he was almost at the fence on the other side.

"Okay, the old lady probably can't hear us talking here."

"Young lady, do you have anything to say to me in private?" Xiaohu looked back from time to time while speaking. He was really worried about his grandmother.

Sang Yu didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Your grandmother has epilepsy, right?"

Xiao Hu wasn't surprised. After all, she had just seen her grandmother's attack. She nodded and agreed, "It's indeed this madness. It attacks from time to time, so I tied her up. But I didn't expect..."

"Keeping it a secret from anyone was probably your grandmother's idea, wasn't she afraid that you'd be laughed at and wouldn't be able to find a wife?"

Judging from the attitudes of the two men when they saw her, the old lady was obviously more nervous, while Xiaohu only felt concern and nervousness for his own grandmother.
