Chapter 518 Offended
"The newcomer will be burned there." The previous man said in a low voice.
The old lady pricked up her ears all of a sudden.
"No way? Although this disease is easily transmitted to other people, it is not possible to kill immediately once infected. At least he can survive for a few days. Is his physical condition so bad?" The latter was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.
"In fact, he was in very good health! Do you want to know why he died so soon?" The person who spoke raised his eyebrows and kept the secret.
"Why?" There was a hint of anxiety in the other person's eyes.
"It's because I offended the yamen runners."
"Don't talk nonsense like that." The other person turned pale with fright and quickly waved his hands to stop him.
"How dare I say such nonsense! This old man is restless all day long. He always finds trouble with the police officers whenever he has something to do. He may find them seven or eight times a day!"
"Tell me, if it were you, would you be annoyed to death by him? So, later when he asked people to find the officers, no one wanted to pay attention to him."
"When he was really in trouble, those people thought he was just in a bad mood or had some minor physical illness. As a result, the opportunity for treatment was delayed, and in the end he couldn't even save his life. Tsk tsk tsk."
After saying this, the man sighed helplessly.
"Oh my, how can there be such a person? He really asked for it."
The woman at the side hurriedly came to a yamen runner and said, "Brother yamen runner, I want to ask if the thing burning over there is the old man who loves to make trouble and was just brought in not long ago."
The bailiff nodded and replied, "It is this person. We have just sent someone to notify his family to come and handle the funeral, but no one is willing to show up."
After saying that, he shook his head helplessly, with a bitter smile on his face.
"Even his own family doesn't want to pay attention to him? How annoying must he be!"
At this time, another yamen runner interrupted and said, "Fortunately, one of his distant nephews reluctantly agreed to come over."
The old lady not far away heard the entire conversation and felt a chill in her heart, as if a cold wind blew across her spine, making her shiver all over.
When the aunt saw the old lady shrinking her neck like a frightened bird, she thought it was so funny that she couldn't help but almost laughed out loud.
But she reacted very quickly, turned around and pretended to be busy.
At the same time, she covered her mouth tightly with her hands, fearing that the old lady would hear it by accident.
At this time, the old lady was so frightened that she was sweating all over. Her body was shaking uncontrollably. She reached out her hand tremblingly to wipe the sweat from her forehead.
She thought to herself, "I never thought something like this would happen in this world! I never believed it before, but now it happens to me. If something goes wrong again, I'm afraid even asking the bailiffs for help may not work!"
Thinking of this, the old lady couldn't help but shook her head and muttered: "Why do you always think of the worst? You should think of something good!"
Feeling somewhat uneasy and regretful, she secretly glanced at her aunt, only to see her busy with her work as if nothing had happened. The old lady gnashed her teeth in anger and complained secretly: "Humph! I shouldn't have bothered the yamen runners just now! Why didn't you try to persuade me more? Now I am so frightened!"
The aunt felt a resentful gaze, but she was too lazy to turn around to confirm, because it must have come from the old lady. The aunt knew her temper very well - the old lady had always been the kind of person who would find fault with others instead of reflecting on herself when she made a mistake.
The aunt didn't want to cause any trouble, so she handed the old lady a bowl of water with a smile on her face and asked with concern: "Drink some water, are you thirsty?"
However, the old lady at this moment was staring at the person in front of her with eyes full of hostility and dissatisfaction, and she really disliked her in her heart.
The old lady became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. She felt that if one day in the future she really encountered trouble or was unwell and needed help from the yamen runners, no one would be willing to pay attention or care about her, and all this would be blamed on the annoying person in front of her.
Thinking of this, the old lady could no longer suppress her anger. She pushed the bowl of water away and shouted, "What do you mean by this? Look at your smug face. Who are you doing this for?"
The water splashed down and splashed right on my aunt. In an instant, a large area of her clothes was soaked, and the wet marks were particularly conspicuous.
The aunt's face, which was originally slightly happy, suddenly showed a look of grievance. Her lips trembled slightly and she stammered, "I...I really didn't!"
There was a hint of trembling and innocence in his voice.
However, the old lady at the side was not moved at all. She just stretched out a finger, pointed it directly at my aunt's nose, and shouted angrily: "Anyone with eyes can see it clearly. You still say there is nothing? There is nothing!"
Hearing this, my aunt's eyes began to turn red and tears welled up in her eyes, as if they would burst out at any time.
From childhood to adulthood, most of the bullying and grievances she had suffered came from the old lady in front of her.
At this moment, the painful memories of the past came flooding back to my mind like a tide.
The aunt slowly raised her hand and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. Then she took a deep breath and mustered up her courage to say, "Old lady, I have been doing my best to take care of you these days! Everyone can see this!"
"You should know how difficult you are to please. If it were someone else, they would have run away long ago. People are all made of flesh and blood. Aren't you afraid of retribution for treating me like this all the time?"
At the end, my aunt's tone unconsciously rose a little, and it was obvious that the emotions that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time finally burst out at this moment.
The old lady only wanted to live a comfortable life and never cared about other people's feelings or situations.
When she heard the three words "retribution", she couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
After all, she usually acts recklessly and causes a lot of trouble to others.
It is troublesome to bother the yamen runners, and it is also troublesome to bother her. Although theoretically, they should do their best to complete the tasks after receiving the money, they will definitely not be happy if they are always ordered around like this.
If one day she really encountered some unexpected situation or difficult problem, who could guarantee that this person who was used to being ordered around by her would not take the opportunity to do bad things secretly and deliberately make things difficult for her.
