"Buying ducks is one thing, but it won't stop her from going to get reinforcements." Gu Wanwan glanced at Grandpa Cheng and Grandpa Sheng with great interest, then followed her sister-in-law upstairs to visit Grandma Sheng.
As soon as Grandma Cheng entered the house, she saw that it was dark and filled with a sense of lifelessness, accompanied by a chilling atmosphere. Without hesitation, she went over and pulled back the curtains. Sunlight streamed in through the window, slightly dispelling the gloom in the room.
"Little sister, how are you feeling? It's only been a few days, but you've become so weak. You look like you've been drained of all your energy. Wanwan, look..."
Grandma Sheng coughed twice, opened her eyes, and looked at the person in front of her clearly. "Young lady, what brings you here? Is this Wanwan? Aren't you in the countryside? How are your grandparents doing lately? Are they going back to the city soon?"
"Cough cough, I'm getting old, and I have more and more health problems. Lately, I've been feeling increasingly unwell and can't even get out of bed. Fortunately, my daughter-in-law and Aunt Feng are taking care of me..."
She initially disapproved of her daughter-in-law's actions and was even quite dissatisfied with them. However, as she became ill and frail, her daughter-in-law and Sister-in-law Feng took meticulous care of her at her bedside. She was not a heartless person, so how could she remain unmoved?
“Xiao Qing, Xiao Xuan, although your mother is a bit confused, she is kind at heart. I believe she will return to the way she was before. She truly cares for you and your siblings. Don’t blame her; she is, after all, your mother.”
Sheng Chuxuan was speechless at her mother's actions. "But she disregarded the wishes of my brother and me, forcing us to be paired up. She wanted my brother to marry Qin Feifei, and she wanted to break up Pei Chuan and me, making me marry Qin Feifei's brother. Grandma, you know how much my mother used to like Pei Chuan as her son-in-law. My mother was obsessed with it. And Aunt Feng is a big problem. She has impure intentions."
"By the way, just now Qin Feifei and her little follower tried to bully Wanwan and Wan Ning. Wan Ning is Jingchen's younger sister, and Wanwan taught her a lesson. I reckon she went to my mother to complain and was ready to confront them. And that Aunt Feng, she acts like an elder, giving Wanwan and the others attitude, as if she's the one in charge of the Sheng family."
"How could your mother... sigh..." Grandma Sheng didn't know how to complain about her daughter-in-law anymore. The goodwill her daughter-in-law and Aunt Feng had been building up in front of her recently had plummeted to rock bottom in an instant.
Grandma Cheng was too lazy to mention Sheng's mother and Aunt Feng again, so she changed the subject, "Little sister, Wanwan said that your house is shrouded in dark energy and that bad things are buried underground, which will affect your family's fortune and health. I felt uncomfortable as soon as I entered your house. It was gloomy and cold. It's no wonder I got sick after staying in the house for so long."
Grandma Sheng had believed in that kind of thing, and she immediately understood the meaning behind Grandma Cheng's words: the Sheng family was not clean.
It was precisely because of her uncleanliness that her illness became so bizarre; no wonder she couldn't get better no matter how many famous doctors she saw.
"When did Wanwan learn feng shui? Is she that good?"
Grandma Cheng took out the talisman necklace hanging around her neck. "I'm wearing a talisman that Wanwan gave me for protection. It cooled down a bit and then warmed up again, which means the talisman worked. To be honest, I've been going to the Third Compound a lot lately to play cards under the banyan tree in front of my distant relative's house. Wanwan told me not to go anymore because that tree is going to fall. What would happen if I got hit?"
Grandma Sheng opened her mouth in surprise, "That's a hundred-year-old banyan tree, would it fall down so easily?"
"You'll find out soon enough." Gu Wanwan raised the corners of her lips mysteriously. "But Grandma Sheng, who gave you that chrysanthemum vase on the table?"
