Niu Cuihua didn't let him touch her, twisted her body and snorted coldly.
"None of your business. What? You even want me to cry. Who are you?"
"Is there anyone like you? I cry whenever I want, and it doesn't bother you at all. Why do you even have to care about this? Are you still a human being?"
"I knew you weren't a good person. Back when we first got married, you didn't care about anything and acted like a hands-off boss. Over the years, if I hadn't told you, you wouldn't have taken the initiative to take care of even one of the many things going on at home!"
"Now that the child is lost, you're still like this, acting like nothing happened. Tell me, how can you be someone's grandfather?"
Seeing that Niu Cuihua was talking more and more off-topic, and if she continued, she would not be able to sleep all night, Old Man Li quickly interrupted her.
"Okay, it's all my fault, okay? You've worked hard for so many years, okay?"
He was obviously just being perfunctory. As soon as Niu Cuihua heard his tone, she immediately became unwilling.
"Hey, no, what do you mean? What do you mean it's all my hard work? Don't I have it hard?"
Upon hearing this, Old Man Li thought to himself that something was wrong. He had said the wrong thing. Now the old woman would definitely hold on to him again.
"How could I be perfunctory? I wasn't being perfunctory, old woman! You're really wronging me!"
Niu Cuihua snorted coldly, "Alright, you don't have to lie to me anymore. Don't I know whether you are being perfunctory or not?"
When Old Man Li heard the old woman's tone, he knew that she was being unreasonable. At this time, the best thing to do was to go along with what the old woman said and make her satisfied.
If you don't say anything, the old woman will get angry.
Therefore, after a pause, he spoke.
"Okay, I was just trying to fool you. Okay, let's put it this way, whatever you say is what I'll do, okay?"
As he spoke, he slowly stretched out his arm to comfort Niu Cuihua.
"Alright, alright, it's all my fault. If you have something to say, just tell me now and stop torturing me. Otherwise, you won't be able to sleep, and neither will I. This isn't the case, right?"
"Okay, okay, tell me quickly, what happened?"
Things had come to this point, and even though Niu Cuihua was angry, she still spoke.
"It's like this, I just had a nightmare, something happened to Xiaoxi!"
"I don't know why, but I'm always so anxious. Old lady, do you think something really happened to Xiaoxi? What should I do?"
Thinking about the dream where her granddaughter was lying lifeless in a pool of blood, Niu Cuihua felt very sad. She didn't dare to think about what she would do if her granddaughter fell in front of her like in the dream.
Although the little granddaughter has always been very lucky, the scene in her dream did not seem fake!
Thinking this in her heart, she whispered.
"Old man, do you think something might have happened to Xiaoxi?"
Seeing that the old woman seemed to be frightened, Old Man Li, who was watching her condition, sighed first, and then continued to speak.
"It's okay, old woman, don't be afraid, it's all just a dream, it's all your imagination!"
"Don't people say, 'What you think about during the day, you dream about at night'? In my opinion, you just don't get enough sleep, so you're thinking about all these things. Think about it, Xiaoxi is fine, how could something happen to her? In broad daylight, in the open air, have you ever seen anyone dare to kill someone? I haven't seen it, anyway."
"Besides, we're all old, how could we have ever heard of such a thing? If you ask me, you've just listened to too many stories, and now that you've encountered something, you're imagining things!"
"If you ask me, the most important thing you should do right now is to lie down and sleep well. Relax your mind. Who knows, when you wake up tomorrow morning, Xiaoxi will be back!"
Niu Cuihua looked at Old Man Li with a questioning look on her face, not quite believing him. She didn't believe Old Man Li at all.
I used to say that, but these past few days the old man has been whispering to the captain behind my back. Sometimes, the way he looks at me is not right. There must be something going on!
According to her inference, it might be related to her granddaughter, otherwise, this old man couldn't be like this!
Old man Li had been waiting for his wife to reply. After waiting for a long time and hearing nothing, he became confused.
With the help of the dim light, he went to see the old woman, and then he saw that in the middle of the night, Niu Cuihua's eyes were as big as copper bells.
If he wasn't so brave, he would have been scared to death!
"Old woman, what are you doing? It's late at night, and you're staring at me with your eyes wide open. I'm brave, otherwise, I'd be scared to death by you!"
"Alright, alright, stop thinking about it and go to sleep. Maybe you'll see Xiaoxi tomorrow when you wake up. You can't keep staying up like this. Otherwise, when the child comes back and knows that you've been unable to sleep and are sick because of her, she'll feel bad too!"
Niu Cuihua ignored him and spoke to herself.
"Old man, are you hiding something from me? I've been seeing you and the captain whispering to each other these past few days. What's going on?"
When he saw her ask this, Old Man Li immediately tensed up.
"No, you're overthinking it. What shameful thing could I have done? The captain asked me to discuss some matters within the team. I didn't think it was necessary for you to know, so that's why I didn't tell you. What? You're not overthinking it because of that, are you? If so, you're really wronging me!"
Niu Cuihua asked suspiciously.
"Really? Are you sure you're not lying to me?"
Old Man Li said frankly, "No, why would I lie to you? Besides, there's no need for that, right?"
"You can't say that if you don't even trust me, an old man, then who else can you trust?"
Seeing that he still felt that he was wronged, Niu Cuihua became annoyed and couldn't help but mutter to herself.
"I do believe you, but you're hiding something from me. I haven't wronged you, have I? So who knows if what you're saying now is true or false?"
She spoke in a low voice and Old Man Li couldn't hear clearly, so he couldn't help but ask.
"What did you just say? Why didn't I hear you clearly? Say it again!"
Then, remembering that he still had to go to bed, he spoke again.
"Forget it, forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. Let's go to sleep quickly. The children must be fine. Besides, didn't the second brother send a message today saying that Xiaoxi is fine? What's the matter? Could it be that you still don't believe him?"
He was obviously trying to change the subject, but Niu Cuihua didn't want to say anything more to him, so after hearing this.
She spoke directly.
"No, that kid is no more reliable than you. Even if I don't trust anyone else, I have to trust that kid!"
