Chapter 531 Open-minded
Chapter 531 Open-minded
The aunt standing by couldn't stand it anymore. She frowned, turned around silently and started working.
However, although her body was constantly busy, her heart was always concerned about Nier.
The aunt thought to herself, "This Ni'er is so miserable. She has encountered such a thing at such a young age. If she heard others talking about her and blaming her for her mistakes, she would be so sad!"
Thinking of this, my aunt couldn't help but sigh softly.
These people all eat whole grains. They might get sick one day, or have a headache or fever. Yet they dare to spread rumors about the doctor! They are really bold.
Perhaps they have seen many doctors coming here recently and feel that they will have no shortage of doctors to treat them even if they get sick, so they are so unscrupulous.
Bullying children and picking on the weak ones is simply too much!
The aunt put aside the work she was busy with, stood up, and brushed off the dust and debris that might be on her body.
She thought for a moment and said, "I have to tell Ni'er about this right away. Maybe she still hasn't heard of it yet!"
"Old lady, I'll send this thing back!"
As the aunt spoke, she reached out and picked up the food box, and without waiting for the old lady to respond, she hurried out.
After a while, the aunt arrived at the place. From a distance, she saw Ni'er sitting there quietly resting. At this time, Ni'er looked a little tired, but her expression was still calm and composed.
The aunt walked quickly forward, gently placed the food box in her hand on the ground, and walked straight to Ni'er.
She bent down slightly and said with concern: "Nier, I've never seen you rest like this before. Now you can finally rest for a while!"
Hearing the voice, Nier slowly raised her head and looked at her aunt calmly.
Then, she smiled, reached out and gently patted a bundle of straw beside her, and said softly, "Yes, auntie, why don't you come over and sit for a while?"
However, my aunt shook her head vigorously.
Whenever I think of that incident, I get so angry that I don't even have the energy to sit down and rest!
She frowned and said to Ni'er anxiously, "Nier, do you know that many people are talking about you?"
Facing her aunt's words, Ni'er just responded calmly: "Yeah, I know."
That expression and tone were as if this matter had nothing to do with her.
The aunt was obviously shocked by Nier's indifferent reaction. She widened her eyes and stared at Nier in disbelief for a long time.
Then she blinked a few times, turned her head to the side, and finally shifted her gaze back to Nier and exhaled heavily through her nose.
"Since you know that people are gossiping about you behind your back, why are you still sitting here like nothing happened? Why don't you think about going to talk to those people?"
The more my aunt spoke, the more excited she became, and her hands waved unconsciously as she spoke.
Nier looked at her aunt who was so angry because of her, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. Her eyes became slightly moist and her throat became a little tight.
She knew that her aunt had always treated her sincerely, and this friendship made her feel cherished and warm.
Nier stood up and walked forward quickly. She gently took her aunt's hand and said softly, "Aunt, don't be so excited! Sooner or later, the truth will come out."
"We don't need to get angry about the gossip of irrelevant people! Besides, we live our own lives, so why should we care about what they say?"
"I don't take these to heart. I'll still eat and drink as usual. No one can disturb my good mood!"
Hearing Ni'er's open-minded and cheerful words, the aunt was stunned at first, and then she smiled with relief.
She looked at the little girl in front of her who seemed weak but was actually very strong inside, and her admiration for her grew deeper.
The aunt couldn't help but sighed: "Oh my, I never thought that at your young age, your thoughts are so clear and bright! Compared with some adults, you are so much better!"
"If someone else encountered this kind of thing, they would have burst into tears. How could they be as calm as you?"
Hearing her aunt's praise, Nier's face blossomed into a bright smile, and her bright big eyes curved into crescent shapes, sparkling with lively light.
She shook her head coquettishly and said, "Look at what you said! Actually, this is nothing, isn't it just some rumors? It's not worth mentioning at all! Besides, you have stood up to speak for me, I am already very satisfied!"
After listening to these words quietly, the heavy worry in my aunt's heart suddenly dissipated a lot.
Before, she had been worried about whether this incident would make Nier depressed and unhappy?
But now seeing Ni'er so cheerful, she felt a little surprised and delighted.
After all, it is rare for a child as young as Nier to have such a clear mind!
The aunt touched Nier's pigtails with a look of satisfaction on her face and said softly, "Good child, I feel relieved to see that you are not too disturbed by these rumors! Well, I should go back too, so that the old lady won't be able to find me!"
After saying that, the aunt turned and left.
Nier nodded, her bright big eyes staring at her aunt's receding back until she completely disappeared from her sight.
Then she clapped her hands gently and prepared to continue working.
I don't want to bother with those gossipers. It's just a waste of energy to argue with them! Just do the work at hand seriously!
As for who was the first to stir up trouble and who was behind the scenes fanning the flames, Ni'er knew it clearly in her mind.
However, she secretly made up her mind that she must keep a distance from these people in the future and try to avoid getting too close to them, otherwise she might get into trouble if she is not careful!
The setting sun melts gold, and the dusk clouds merge together.
Nier looked up at the sky, thinking how late it was.
I felt my body was a little heavy and I was too tired to stand straight. I could only bend over, put my hands on my waist, and slowly get back to straightness.
This scene made her feel extremely familiar, and memories flooded into her mind like a tide. The last time this happened was when she was working with the young man!
At that time, they joked with each other that the other was so tired that he couldn't even straighten his back.
Nier looked into the distance again, only to see that the thick smoke had long since dissipated, and it seemed that the fire had been extinguished for quite some time.
Judging from the time, those yamen runners will probably return soon.
