When Xie Li returned home, Grandma Ming had just left.
The old lady had a rosy complexion, but her figure was becoming increasingly hunched, as if she could not bear the weight of life.
Standing at the door to see her off, Zhang's mother couldn't help but feel a little teary-eyed as she watched the old man's retreating figure.
Seeing Xie Lijin get out of the car, she hurriedly came up to him, "Miss, you're back! Are you hungry? I made you some dessert!"
As Xie Li sat down to eat dessert, Zhang Ma couldn't help but sigh.
Xie Li looked up, "Grandma, what's wrong?"
Aunt Zhang: "Sigh, I'm just worried about your Grandma Ming. The old lady is getting old and her health isn't good anymore. She still wants to go out and work to support herself. But she ran into a shady employment agency and they cheated her out of her only savings..."
Zhang Ma also knew that Ming Apo's experience had nothing to do with Xie Li, and Xie Li had no obligation to take responsibility for her.
But she couldn't bear to see the old man so tired and distressed, so she couldn't help but speak up.
"Young Miss, can't our family really help us? Your Grandma Ming is very hardworking and reasonable; she wouldn't do something like expecting something in return for a favor!"
Xie Li thought for a moment, "Okay, I'll talk to Grandpa about it."
It wouldn't be a bad idea to arrange a job for Grandma Ming, but she felt it wasn't necessary since Grandma Ming hadn't asked for one.
Moreover, Grandma Ming's health really needs to be taken good care of. Don't be fooled by her rosy complexion now; her condition is actually quite serious. If she doesn't get proper care, she might not be able to work and could very well suffer a stroke and become paralyzed.
She had given Grandma Ming a bottle of medicine beforehand, and Grandma Ming seemed very happy and said that she would definitely take it.
But judging from today's events, she clearly hasn't taken a single pill.
Perhaps, Grandma Ming wasn't as close to her or as trusting as she appeared?
Xie Li couldn't quite describe her feelings. She had indeed received a meal from Granny Ming when she was a child, but Granny Ming looked at her strangely back then.
As a child, she could never understand what that expression, which mixed sympathy, kindness, coldness, and condescension, truly represented.
Of course, I don't quite understand it now.
Therefore, she felt a sense of both gratitude and distance towards Granny Ming, remembering her care from years past.
Zhang Ma felt much more at ease after receiving Xie Li's confirmation.
She smiled and said, "Actually, when I see your Grandma Ming, I always feel like I'm seeing my younger self. As people get older, they suffer from all sorts of ailments. The fact that I've recovered to this state is all thanks to you, young lady. Ah, I'm so lucky!"
Xie Li listened casually, then got up to go find Old Master Xie, but suddenly remembered something and paused slightly.
"Grandma, you didn't tell Grandma Ming that you ate the sweet potato, did you?"
Aunt Zhang quickly said, "No, no, how could I dare to say that!"
Back then, Luo Zhihan and Pharmacist Chen unanimously decided that she couldn't tell anyone. Granny Ming also felt that her changes were too extraordinary, and if someone with ulterior motives found out, it might bring trouble to Xie Li.
So I always kept my mouth tightly shut.
During that period, she even stayed in seclusion with her son, avoiding all outsiders.
Now that things are much clearer in the Xie family, with everyone inside and outside being staffed by Old Master Xie and Xie Sidu, she has started to get busy again.
Whenever someone asks, she says that she had undergone cosmetic surgery, put on makeup, and used hair growth serums from Shen's and Huichuntang to achieve her current results.
As for the rest, they didn't mention it at all.
People might at most mutter behind her back that she's old and still causing trouble, but they would never guess about the Sacred Heart Fruit.
Xie Li nodded without saying anything more and went to find Old Master Xie.
