"puff……"

Grandmother Jia spat out her tea in one gulp...

"Cough cough..."

"Shen Shi and Yu'er have arrived?"

Grandmother Jia took a deep breath and started wailing early in the morning, a mournful wail.

Shen Ajiao and Lin Daiyu hurriedly entered Grandmother Jia's room. They saw that Grandmother Jia's face was rosy and glowing, her hair was neatly combed, and her clothes were perfectly straight.

[You skinflint! Didn't you say you were sick?]

[Relationships are like a hen with sores; they're all messed up!]

"Oh dear, old lady, what's wrong with you? You were perfectly fine just a few days ago. Why are you like this today?"

"Look at your complexion, ah!"

"Could it be a final burst of energy before death?"

"Grandma! May you have a safe journey!"

...

Lin Daiyu: ? ? ? This isn't how the script goes!

Wang Xifeng: Mrs. Lin is tall!

Just as Grandmother Jia was about to speak, she heard Shen Ajiao shout loudly, "How are you taking care of the old lady? She's on her deathbed, and you still make her suffer like this. Aren't you afraid of shortening her lifespan?"

"Hurry up and call the doctor in! Every two more days we can live is a blessing."

Wang Xifeng: These past two days have been superfluous…

"After all, having an elder in the family is like having a treasure. We can't lose this treasure, Grandma! You must hold on!"

Grandmother Jia was not sick, but she felt short of breath and her vision blurred because of Shen Ajiao's outburst. She was just pretending to be sick, and that's how she cursed her!

That heartless Shen! I'm so angry!

"I...I'm fine..."

"Grandmother, you...you must take care of yourself." Lin Daiyu sobbed softly beside her, utterly heartbroken.

Grandmother Jia was extremely anxious. Who would curse her? She quickly explained, "I'm really fine, I just miss Yu'er."

Shen Ajiao refused to believe it, saying, "Grandma, you're old and you want children, but you still need to take care of your health."

"Waaah, he's about to leave, and he's still thinking about Yu'er. Really... really..."

Seeing that Shen's words were becoming increasingly outrageous, Grandmother Jia got up to leave in anger. Shen Ajiao quickly ordered someone to hold Grandmother Jia back, saying, "You mustn't leave. I've heard that those who have a final burst of energy before death all get up to say goodbye. Once they have no more attachments, they're gone!"

"I brought a doctor with me today; he'll surely be able to keep the old lady alive for a few more days!"

He hurriedly called for a doctor to be brought in so that he could take Grandmother Jia's pulse.

Grandmother Jia was furious, but she also wanted to prove that she was doing well.

Then she noticed the doctor's brows were furrowed and he looked at her several times. Grandmother Jia's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that she was sick?

"The old lady's health... is a bit..."

"Speak quickly, what happened? What's wrong with our old lady?"

Wang Xifeng was extremely nervous, wiping away her tears, and stepped forward to ask with concern.

[Feng, you need to tone down your gaze; that smile is so intense, even an onion couldn't hide it.]

Wang Xifeng: Nonsense! I won't laugh at anything, no matter how funny it is, unless I can't help it.

The doctor said slowly, "The old lady just has some indigestion. She's old and frail, so she shouldn't eat too much meat and fish. She should eat soft, easily digestible foods."

Overjoyed, Shen Ajiao cried, "Grandma is alright!"

"So it was just a misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding!"

"Please prescribe some medicine to aid digestion."

Wang Xifeng: Hahahaha…

Grandmother Jia's face stiffened, and she looked somewhat embarrassed, turning away without saying a word.

"Since it's a misunderstanding, let's not stay any longer to avoid any awkwardness!"

Shen Ajiao hurriedly pulled Lin Daiyu to leave, saying as they went, "The old lady is thin-skinned. After such a commotion, she probably won't dare to come out for several days. We, the younger generation, can't be so ignorant. Let's all keep quiet for a few days."

Grandmother Jia couldn't bring herself to say a single word of dissuasion.

She watched helplessly as Shen Ajiao pulled Lin Daiyu out without uttering a sound.

Madam Wang, standing behind them, didn't care about any of that. If the person left today, it would be even more difficult to summon them again in the future.

"Yu Yatou, wait a moment."

[No, Mo Q, you're a moldy peanut too, not a good person.]

"Good girl, wait for your aunt." Madam Wang hurriedly grabbed Lin Daiyu's hand. "Good girl, the old lady is greedy, don't laugh at her."

"Grandma missed you too, so she prepared a lot of delicious food for you. She tasted each one for you to see if there was any flavor you liked. Before she knew it, there was too much."

Grandmother Jia nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes."

[A bunch of heartless scoundrels, utterly rotten.]

Grandmother Jia also held onto Lin Daiyu, not wanting her to leave.

Shen Ajiao turned her head and smiled, "In that case, quickly bring up all the good food, I want to try it too."

"I don't want the tofu skin buns or the pickled bamboo shoot and chicken skin soup, because I don't like chicken skin."

"And those kinds of pastries and cakes, like Poria cocos cake, water chestnut pastry, and crystal cake, need not be served. They are not good for digestion, and Yu'er is too young to eat them."

Wang Xifeng: These days, just looking at a pancake makes you full, who would want to eat that?

Madam Wang remained calm. "That's easy to say. Yu'er hasn't been staying at home for more than a few days, and we don't know her well. Why don't we let her stay for a few days so we can get to know each other better?"

"The old lady thinks about you every day; it wouldn't be right for her not to come!"

"If word gets out, people will think our cousin is unfilial!"

Lin Daiyu withdrew her hand and smiled, "I can stay here, but I bought some jewelry at a jewelry shop a few days ago. Now that my father is gone, I don't have the money to pay him back. It would be perfect if my grandmother and aunt could help me out, so I can feel at ease."

Lady Wang and Grandmother Jia's faces stiffened. Jewelry money?

Would the Lin family be unable to afford the jewelry?
