The old lady stepped on the ground with her good leg, and then tapped the ground with her broken leg, as if she could walk again, and joy jumped onto her cheeks.

After helping the old lady to relieve herself, the aunt brought her back in the same way.

After settling the person down, I took a look at the old lady. She was so tired that she could hardly open her eyes. If she was sick, she needed to rest more.

If he fell asleep, there would be no need to call Dr. Niu over, and the old lady probably wouldn't say anything.

"Are you sleepy? If you are, take a rest."

The aunt spoke softly, her eyes fixed on the old lady.

At this moment, the old lady's eyes, which were originally half closed, trembled slightly as if they were forcibly opened by an invisible force.

"Not sleepy! Not sleepy at all! Go find Niu Xiaoni for me. I want to see if this medicine is effective."

The old lady's tone was firm and anxious, and she seemed full of anticipation and anxiety about the effect of the medicine.

The aunt was shocked when she heard this. She had never expected that this old lady, who looked so weak that she could barely open her eyelids, had such a strong mental strength to support herself to stay awake and make such a request.

"Old lady, how can the effect of this medicine be shown so quickly? Even if there is any reaction, we have to wait until tomorrow to see it. Besides, there will be a doctor to see you tomorrow morning, so don't be so anxious."

The aunt hurriedly comforted her, trying to make the old lady put her worries aside.

However, the old lady was not moved at all. She was always a person of her word. Once she made up her mind to do something, whether she did it herself or asked others to do it for her, she had to do it according to her wishes. If anyone dared to disobey or contradict her, they would definitely not have a good result.

"Humph! If I tell you to go find someone, you have to find that person right away! Otherwise, believe it or not, I will immediately call the bailiffs to replace you, this useless guy!"

The old lady widened her eyes and glared at my aunt. Her fierce look made the other party shiver.

Soon, the old lady seemed to have lost all her energy and spirit, and became listless.

She gasped heavily, as if even breathing had become a heavy burden. She slowly closed her eyes and lay there quietly, motionless, as if she had fallen asleep.

At this moment, she was closing her eyes and waiting for Nier's arrival.

The aunt standing by looked at the old lady like this, feeling helpless and anxious, but she was at a loss what to do.

After hesitating for a long time, the aunt finally gritted her teeth and decided to agree to find Dr. Niu to treat the old lady.

After all, this is a good job that can earn five cents a day. It would be a pity if I lost this opportunity because of my own reasons.

In fact, the old lady was very clear in her mind. She knew very well that the effect of the medicine would not be apparent so quickly.

However, she just wanted to take this opportunity to give that "bastard" whom she hated so much - Ni'er.

Letting Ni'er run a few more times can not only consume her physical strength and energy, but more importantly, it can make Ni'er understand one thing: even though the family has been separated now, I am still her grandmother and still have the right to order her to do things at will.

Don't think that you can be arrogant and ignore others just because you have divided the family property and have a little money in your hand. Do you still want to live a carefree and self-sufficient life? It's just a foolish dream.

While thinking to herself, the aunt walked towards the direction where Ni'er was with heavy steps.

Along the way, my aunt frowned tightly, and her already gloomy face was full of embarrassment.

To be honest, she really didn't want to run errands for the old lady, thinking it was a thankless task. But now that things had come to this, she was in a dilemma and had to go.

Just as the aunt was walking reluctantly, she suddenly met Zhao Jincheng halfway.

You know, Ni'er is Zhao Jincheng's apprentice. Usually, they are seen eating together, talking and laughing. The relationship between master and apprentice is pretty good. This matter should be managed anyway...

Thinking of this, he walked forward.

"Doctor Zhao~"

Zhao Jincheng didn't know that this aunt was the one arranged by the yamen runners to take care of the old lady.

She blocked his way, but what happened? Could it be that his husband's illness had relapsed?

"Aunt, if you have anything to say, just tell me."

"It's the old lady who was just brought in. You may not know it yet. The yamen runner asked me to take care of her. After she took the medicine, she insisted that I go find Doctor Niu and ask her to take her pulse again to see if the medicine was effective. I thought I had to wait until tomorrow, but she refused. I had no choice but to meet you on the way. I don't know..."

Zhao Jincheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and understood the deep meaning of his aunt's words. He thought to himself: This old lady is really a difficult character to deal with. She is so sick, but she still wants to bully her poor little apprentice.

Thinking of this, a nameless fire surged in Zhao Jincheng's heart. As a master, it is his duty to protect and take good care of his apprentice. If this old lady is allowed to continue to be arrogant, she will probably become more unscrupulous in the future, putting the little apprentice in a deeper predicament.

So, he took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said, "Aunt, I will go with you to deal with this matter. But you don't need to tell Ni'er about this matter for now, so as not to make her worry about it."

After saying that, Zhao Jincheng clenched his fists tightly, quickened his pace and followed his aunt's steps.

The old lady almost fell asleep and kept reminding herself that she had to wait for someone to come.

Time passed slowly and I became more and more anxious. Why didn't this person come yet? He started to act so pretentiously just because he became a doctor. I've been waiting for so long. Does he really think he's so great just because he's a doctor?

He is busy here and there all day long. What is he busy about? He just doesn't take people seriously and looks down on his poor relatives.

The old lady became more and more angry the more she thought about it. She couldn't help but frown, clenched her hands into fists, and gritted her teeth, as if she wanted to vent her inner dissatisfaction and anger in this way.

But I relaxed quickly and saved my strength for when the person came. Don't let yourself get discouraged too early.

I felt the ground vibrating in a regular pattern and heard footsteps approaching my ears. They were finally coming.

Feeling that someone was approaching, the old lady didn't even raise her eyelids and stretched out her hand, "Come, take my pulse."
