Finally, she walked up to Su Yuxi, patted her soft, white hand, and said with tenderness in her eyes, "Child, you've worked so hard."
If it weren't for this child, we wouldn't have been able to gather all the medicinal herbs so quickly.
"Come visit Grandma often when you have time."
Su Yuxi was completely bewildered, finding the old lady very strange, able to change her expression several times in a single day. She chuckled twice, then withdrew her hand, saying, "We'll see."
The old lady clapped her hands but missed, her expression blank. She had thought the girl would agree immediately, but she didn't expect her to act unpredictably.
How should we continue this conversation?
Fortunately, old age breeds thick skin. She didn't mind and pulled her hand back, patting it twice more: "It's okay. If you don't have time, I can take Grandpa to see you. You're such a lovely girl, Grandpa will definitely like you very much."
"If I hadn't had to go out today, he would have been even happier to see you than I was."
Su Yuxi's lips twitched, and she nudged Fu Huaijin, who was standing silently to the side, with her knee, hoping he would discipline his grandmother. This enthusiasm made her feel awkward.
Besides, why bother looking at her? What's so interesting about her?
Standing to the side, Liu Ying, with her keen insight, understood the old lady's meaning. Her heart skipped a beat. There were only the four of them here, which clearly indicated that the old lady had approved of Su Yuxi and agreed to let the two of them be together.
Why?
Before Fu Huaijin could speak, the old lady let go first and gave her a mysterious smile: "Wait here for a moment, I'll go get something."
After giving them instructions, the old lady hurried to her room, leaving the three of them bewildered.
When she came out again a short while later, she was carrying a delicate wooden box about the size of her palm, engraved with intricate and ancient patterns, which looked quite mysterious.
Without much formality, the old lady handed the box to Su Yuxi with a meaningful look in her eyes, smiling kindly and gently: "Su girl, I came in a hurry this time, and Grandma didn't have time to prepare anything. This is a gift from Grandma to you. Please take good care of Xiao Jin in the future."
Su Yuxi looked at the box in her hand, still unable to understand what the old lady meant by this. Was she bribing her?
Although she loves money, she only loves men's money. This thing looks very valuable, and it was given to her by an old lady she had only met once. She felt it was too hot to handle and absolutely could not accept it. Who knew what trouble might follow?
She quickly shoved the box back into the old woman's hands, firmly refusing, "No need, taking care of him is my duty."
Ignoring her refusal, the old lady pushed the small wooden box back into her hands, pulled her into a dramatic act, her eyes sparkling with indescribable emotions: "Yes, yes, I felt a special connection with you the first time I saw you, just like my long-lost daughter."
Fu Huaijin was taken aback upon hearing this, and lifted his eyelids: How come he didn't know that his aunt had been gone for many years?
"Girl! Xiao Jin has a special physical condition and a bad temper. You've worked hard taking care of him. Please keep this as a gift. Remember to let me know if you need anything in the future."
"Also, if that brat Xiao Jin dares to bully you, tell the old lady and I'll beat him up for you."
The old lady spoke fluently, giving no one a chance to react. She took out her phone from her pocket, a smug look on her face: "Come on, let's add each other as friends first, so we can contact each other if needed."
Su Yuxi's eyes flashed with wariness, and she subconsciously gripped her phone tighter. She wondered to herself if these two wives were crazy, talking to her about all this nonsense and now trying to add her as a friend. Her intuition told her that she shouldn't add them; if she did, the trouble would never end.
The old lady had already brought up the interface. Seeing that she didn't move, she urged her repeatedly, "Hurry up, once you're done, take Xiao Jin back to rest."
Su Yuxi cast a pleading look at Fu Huaijin beside her, but the man simply nodded slightly, indicating that she could add him.
Su Yuxi frowned, reluctantly adding her contact information.
After adding her, Su Yuxi didn't dare to linger any longer. She helped the old lady and quickly walked out, not knowing what kind of trouble the old lady would cause next.
"Slow down, don't rush, it's not a big deal." The old lady had set a special note for her soon-to-be granddaughter-in-law, and seeing them run far away, she quickly followed behind, patiently reminding them to take care of themselves...
Standing there, Liu Ying was surrounded by a chilling aura. She stared coldly at the three figures as they walked away, her resentment and anger growing ever more sinister and eerie.
After the old lady saw the person off, she came back with a big grin on her face. Although her granddaughter-in-law's attitude wasn't very good, she cared about her grandson, and that was enough.
Overjoyed, she forgot there was a victim at home. Seeing the wronged yet stubborn Liu Ying, she immediately suppressed her smile and sighed heavily in her heart, feeling both helpless about the situation and deeply guilty and pitying Liu Ying.
Sometimes you have to accept your fate. She silently watched over her grandson for over ten years, but couldn't move him in the slightest. On the contrary, this unknown girl came out on top of her. It can only be said that they were destined to be apart.
Since the predetermined trajectory has quietly deviated, there's no point in forcing it any further.
"Grandma." Liu Ying could no longer hold back her grievances; her eyes silently welled up with tears, and her voice trembled with a sob.
"Girl..." The old lady took her hand and led her to the sofa, intending to have a good talk with her. There are plenty of good men in the world, and there is no need to hang yourself on one tree. If all else fails, she will introduce some promising young men to her, which will satisfy her desires.
Su Yuxi safely delivered the person home, where Chu Juan had been anxiously waiting for most of the day. As soon as they saw their car arrive and come to a stop, he rushed over, opened the car door, and anxiously checked on Fu Huaijin's physical condition.
"Don't you know your own physical condition? Why are you running around like that?" he scolded twice with dissatisfaction, his eyes revealing deep concern and worry.
Su Yuxi was surprised for a moment. It seemed like they hadn't seen each other for just one night, right? How come he made himself look like a homeless person?
"Where have you been?"
His once fresh, short, jet-black hair was now greasy and unkempt, his chin was covered in stubble, and his once bright eyes were now filled with dark circles and heavy eye sockets, revealing a deep weariness. His clothes were patchy and slightly tattered, and he reeked of medicine. Had he soaked himself in a pot of medicine yesterday?
After checking that Fu Huaijin was alright, Chu Juan breathed a sigh of relief: "He's fine, he just hasn't slept for several days. Let's go inside first. I've prepared some medicine for you. You can drink it first, and I'll see how it goes and then I'll adjust the prescription."
"And your blood test results are in, the blood is fine."
"But the venom on your face is very potent and corrosive."
"It may not be easy to detoxify in a short time, so you should be mentally prepared."
"You also need to be careful with routine care."
Su Yuxi waved her hand dismissively and said, "Whatever. If it can be cured, then forget it."
She didn't really care.
