Chapter 543 A clear conscience
However, he felt a little guilty and said quickly, "How can this be? I can't let you go alone."
The corners of Ni'er's mouth rose slightly, revealing a sweet smile, and she patted her chest without hesitation.
She said confidently, "Don't worry, Auntie. I'm an old hand at dealing with grandmas! I have a lot of experience in this area, don't worry."
The aunt nodded, she also knew Ni'er's methods.
Moreover, facing the old lady's face all day long really makes me feel depressed.
Now with Nier's help, she can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Nier seemed to see what her aunt was thinking and continued to comfort her: "You, take this opportunity to relax."
Indeed, I was stared at by the old lady the whole day and dared not even breathe loudly. My heart skipped a beat every time I looked at her, and I was almost scared to death by her.
The aunt looked at Ni'er gratefully and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Okay, I'll listen to you. It's really thanks to you."
Nier picked up the food box carefully, fearing that the medicine inside would spill out. She took small steps and walked quickly in the direction of grandma.
At this time, the old lady was lying leisurely, basking in the sunshine.
She closed her eyes and kept mumbling, "Humph, that bitch definitely wouldn't dare to come. If she really comes, I'll scold her until she cries! After all, I'm her elder, so it's only right that I teach her a lesson."
The old lady became more and more excited as she spoke, as if she had already seen Ni'er crying because of the scolding.
She continued to close her eyes, shaking her head and humming a little tune. However, just as she was immersed in her own world, suddenly, the sound of light footsteps reached her ears.
The old lady thought to herself, "It sounds like there is only one person making these footsteps. I must have guessed right. That bitch really didn't dare to come. She must be afraid of being scolded by me. She is guilty!"
A smug smile appeared on the old lady's lips, and she seemed very satisfied with her guess.
"You came back on time today. Pour me a glass of water." The old lady's voice was a little hoarse, and she was obviously a little thirsty.
Upon hearing this, Nier silently took out the medicine from the food box.
"Take the medicine first, then rinse your mouth with water after you finish."
The old lady was very familiar with this noise. She quickly opened her eyes and looked at Nier, with a barely perceptible smile on her lips.
"I thought you didn't dare to come." The old lady said jokingly, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.
Nier's face was still expressionless. She just glanced at the old lady calmly, and then said calmly: "You are not a monster, you won't eat people, so why don't you dare to come here?"
After hearing what Ni'er said, the old lady snorted heavily, obviously dissatisfied with Ni'er's answer.
"How come someone like you came out of our Lao Niu family!" the old lady suddenly raised her voice and shouted.
"You kill people for money, you make money by cheating others, you are two-faced, you look like a decent person, but you are actually very vicious, if a poisonous snake bites you, you will poison it to death first!"
Nier walked up to the old lady, sat on the ground, upright, looking at the old lady at eye level, without the slightest humility or arrogance.
Usually, people who have been scolded by the old lady will either cry and show extreme grievance and dissatisfaction, or argue and try to defend themselves.
However, Ni'er was completely different. There was no ripple on her face, and she was so calm that it was a little surprising.
The old lady obviously noticed this as well. When she saw Nier sit down without hesitation, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.
She glared at Ni'er in dissatisfaction, "Did I ask you to sit down? Are you just sitting down so casually?"
However, Nier was not affected by the old lady's words.
She knew the old lady's character very well and knew that she always liked to find weaknesses in others when they broke down emotionally and then attack them mercilessly.
So, Nier decided not to let grandma succeed, she had to stay calm and composed.
Nier's tone was neither fast nor slow, neither appearing overly respectful nor disrespectful in the slightest.
She said, "Grandma, the reason I sat down was not because you asked me to, but because I felt that if I stood and talked to you while you were lying down, it would seem that I was not respectful enough to the elders."
Glancing at grandma, her expression seemed to be on the verge of collapse at any moment.
"Besides, this is not your territory. I am sitting directly on the ground and I am not occupying your mat, so I don't need your permission."
The old lady sneered, her voice full of contempt and disdain: "Humph, you little girl, you really have grown up! Disrespecting elders is not a question of whether you sit or not, but a question of your attitude."
"If you make me unhappy, you are disrespecting me! Get up and stay away from me. Don't you know that I get upset when I see you?"
However, facing the old lady's scolding, Nier sat there steadily without any reaction.
Her eyes were firm and calm, and she seemed not to take the old lady's words to heart at all.
Nier's voice was clear and loud, with a tone that left no room for doubt: "Grandma, wait until I finish what I'm saying, and then I'll leave."
Seeing this, the old lady became more angry. She rolled her eyes and was about to say, "I can't wait, let's go," but was suddenly interrupted by Ni'er.
Nier continued, "You said I committed murder for money, but do you have any evidence? You use these fabricated reasons to slander and scold me. Is this what you should do as an elder? Since you can't be an elder respected by others, there is no need for me, a junior, to respect you."
The old lady was so angry that she was shaking all over. She used her arms to support her body and sat up with difficulty.
Her face was full of anger, her eyes were wide open, and she was staring at Nier, her fingers almost poking Nier's nose.
But Nier did not retreat at all, and did not even show any intention of dodging.
"Well, you ignorant bastard!" the old lady roared in anger.
"You didn't allow others to say anything when you did something wrong, and you even dared to yell at me. This is outrageous!"
"Just wait, I will let everyone know your ugly face soon! No one would want someone like you to carry shoes!"
Faced with the old lady's scolding, Nier was not intimidated. She calmly pressed the old lady's hand down and looked directly into her eyes.
He responded without showing any weakness: "What's wrong with my behavior? I'm upright and have a clear conscience! Do you think you can ruin my reputation with just a few words?"
