The usually serious Zhang Xiaoquan suddenly became incoherent.
Luo Zhiwan looked up at him, then rolled her eyes at him.
"Officer Zhang, you didn't say anything, why are you so nervous? Besides, my grandmother is a difficult person. If she hadn't been so disobedient and gone out to wander around, how could she have gotten infected?"
Zhang Xiaoquan then pursed his lips and stammered, "..."
"Then...then I was right. Otherwise...you could try to persuade her to wear a mask properly, eat properly, and take her medicine properly. How can we treat her if she doesn't cooperate?"
Seeing Zhang Xiaoquan's hesitation when the topic of his grandmother came up, Luo Zhiwan had no choice but to nod.
"Alright, I guess I have to call her grandmother. I'll go see her."
After speaking, she stood up. Seeing this, Xie Jiaxun volunteered to roll up his sleeves.
"I'll stay with you."
She turned around, frowning as she looked at him.
"It's not like you're going to war, what are you going there for? She's just an old woman, what can she do to me? You stay here and get back to your work!"
Xie Jiaxun scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, then said "oh," sat back down in his original seat, and continued doing his work.
Zhang Xiaoquan also got up at this moment.
"I'll take you there and wait for you outside."
"Um."
After she nodded, she and Zhang Xiaoquan went out one after the other.
This street used to be lined with shops, but after the outbreak of the plague, all the shops closed down. Xie Tianyang ordered that all of these shops be temporarily requisitioned by the government.
Although some were unwilling, they dared not refute the city lord's words and could only acquiesce.
At this time, this street was home not only to migrant workers who couldn't go home, but also to patients infected with the plague.
Some patients are disobedient and refuse to listen to advice, so they will be locked in a separate room, like Luo Zhiwan's grandmother, Old Lady Luo.
Zhang Xiaoquan pointed to a door that used to be a tofu shop and explained:
“Your grandmother is right here. Go in and talk to her and tell her to stop making a scene.”
"Okay, open the door!"
After Zhang Xiaoquan nodded, he stepped forward and opened the door. After Luo Zhiwan went inside, he reminded her before closing the door.
"Miss Luo, I'm right outside the door. Call me if you need anything."
She didn't respond and walked straight inside.
Perhaps hearing the door open, Old Mrs. Luo began to hurl insults in a hoarse voice.
"Bring that bitch Luo Zhiwan to see me. I want to see that little bitch."
Luo Zhiwan frowned slightly, adjusted her mask, and followed the sound inside.
At this moment, Old Mrs. Luo was sitting on the makeshift bedding that had been laid out for her. When she saw her come in, her eyes immediately lit up.
"You little bitch, you finally dared to come?"
"What do you want with me?"
Her voice was cold.
The old woman in front of her was less than a stranger to her.
If it were a stranger, she might have been more patient.
Grandma Luo glared at her fiercely, then coughed a few times before getting up from the ground, opening her arms, and lunging at Luo Zhiwan.
She took a few steps back alertly, pointing at her.
"Stand still and don't move."
"Hmph, don't you hate me? Don't you hate me for letting that little bastard get infected with the plague? Then you can get infected with it too, and you can both die!"
It turns out that when Old Mrs. Luo saw her, she tried to get close to her in order to infect her with the plague. Her intentions were truly malicious.
She glared at her and retorted without any politeness:
"Don't act like you're old and powerful. You pull this stunt for everyone. Do you think it's glorious to let others get sick? Your behavior is shameful. You'll go to hell after you die. If the city lord finds out about your actions, he'll charge you with maliciously spreading the plague. Let me tell you, the officials are in charge here. If you keep causing trouble, you'll be thrown into jail and you can just wait to die there!"
Her words seemed to have no effect on Old Mrs. Luo.
She continued walking slowly forward, gradually approaching her, then spat at her with a "pui" sound.
"You little slut, stop trying to scare me. Do you think I'm easily frightened? Let me tell you, I deliberately infected your little bastard with the disease. I hope you get infected too, so you can die with him. You shameless woman, you even cheat your neighbors because you have some medicine in your pocket. Li Dazui and I have been neighbors for decades. Apart from her sharp tongue, she has no flaws. Besides, what has she ever done to wrong you? She only says a few words to you because she cares about you. And you, you tricked her into buying so many herbs and then refused to give her a refund. You've really gone crazy for money. You're obsessed with money."
Her words instantly confirmed Luo Zhiwan's suspicions.
It turns out that Li Dazui was the one who did all of this.
She kept this grudge in her heart.
At this moment, Old Lady Luo's face could no longer be described as merely sharp and mean; she was simply a demon, an absolute demon.
As Luo Zhiwan calmly released the anger that had been building up in her chest, she spoke.
"First of all, Li Dazui went to the pharmacy to buy the medicine herself. I didn't want to sell it to her, but she insisted on buying it. Secondly, I didn't give her a refund because she wanted double the amount back. I, Luo Zhiwan, am not so easily bullied, nor will I side with outsiders. So I won't give her a refund. Now that these two things are clear, I'm going to talk about your matter."
As she said this, she adjusted her mask again, and as she walked towards Old Lady Luo, she rolled up her sleeves, her voice becoming even more chilling.
"Grandma Luo, I'm not a child of the Luo family anyway. I'm telling you today, if you dare to curse me or my son again, I'll tear your mouth apart. You can try me if you don't believe me."
