Shu Jiaying hurriedly helped Grandma Xu up. With a hint of apology, she asked, "Grandma, why did you fall off the bed? If you need anything, you can always call me. I'm always outside."
Hearing Shu Jiaying say this, Grandma Xu immediately looked towards the outside of the room with a look of heartache, then turned her head and looked at Shu Jiaying as if she were an enemy. When she saw a grain of rice that looked like porridge on Shu Jiaying's mask.
With trembling hands, Grandma Xu pointed at Shu Jiaying.
"You...you, did you just drink my porridge?"
"Well……"
This question is a bit awkward. Shu Jiaying did drink their porridge just now, but she didn't drink it secretly. She did it with the consent of Village Chief Xu.
She opened her mouth to explain, but Grandma Xu didn't know where she got the strength from, she picked up the crutch leaning against the bed and tried to hit Shu Jiaying with it.
Ever since Shu Jiaying was dragged into this strange world for no apparent reason, she had been extremely cautious and on guard against everything. Feeling the wind of the stick sweeping towards her, she subconsciously grabbed the crutch with her hand. Before Grandma Xu could speak again, she hurriedly explained, "Grandma, I'm Jiaying, the eldest daughter of the Shu family. I didn't steal your porridge. It was Uncle Xu who made me drink it..."
"My son told you to drink, so you drink? You ugly thing, why did you come to my house for no reason? Go back to your home, I don't have that much food to feed you."
"Grandma Xu..."
Shu Jiaying looked at the old lady in front of her speechlessly, but when she faced the sharp nose and thin lips that were almost touching her face, she understood instantly.
Alas... this old lady simply has a face that indicates she is naturally stingy.
Fortunately, the old lady's forehead is broad enough and her eyebrows are thin and long, which makes up for her shortcomings. I hope that her innate kindness can make her listen to other people's explanations.
Patiently, Shu Jiaying said to Grandma Xu, "Uncle Xu knows that you sprained your leg and are unable to move around, so he hired me to come to your house and take care of you for a few days..."
"I told you not to spend that money to hire someone. My stupid son is so stubborn. Why can't he understand what I'm saying?
Ugly thing, how much does my son pay you for a day? Return the money to him quickly. I don't need your care. Go away!
In response to this request, Shu Jiaying could only helplessly answer: "I'm sorry, grandma, I can't give the money to Uncle Xu now, because Uncle Xu gave the money directly to my father. You know my father, he has always been..."
"It's always been about getting in but not getting out!"
After receiving the following words angrily, Grandma Xu snatched back her crutches. It seemed that this time she couldn't drive Shu Jiaying away.
It’s really annoying to think about it. Her son doesn’t bring much money home every month, and now he has to support one more person. Wouldn’t her family have even less money left?
…
Never mind. My son has already paid for this ugly thing, so it might as well not use it.
Thinking of this, Grandma Xu finally felt a little more balanced. She stood up straight and waved to Shu Jiaying.
"Hmm... Since you're paid, I won't be polite with you. Come and help me to the lobby. Now that you're in my house, you have to abide by the rules I set."
Shu Jiaying stood beside Grandma Xu, acting as her crutch, feeling both amused and helpless. After all, the old woman had difficulty walking, so as long as it was not excessive, she was willing to respect the elderly and love the young.
