Chapter 205 Grandma's Adventures
Everyone looked at grandma with confusion, but no one asked questions for fear of disturbing her train of thought.
After rubbing her temples for a while, grandma spoke again: "Yan Feng, grandma was too sleepy this morning. I had a brain short circuit for a moment. I couldn't remember whether I took my luggage bag with me when I got off the bus."
After hearing what grandma said, everyone's tense expressions relaxed.
"I brought my grandmother's luggage back into the house. It was next to the shoe cabinet near the door. But after I changed my shoes, I forgot to bring it inside." Yan Feng said.
He then laughed awkwardly and said, "Look at me, grandma. Am I also forgetful? It's normal to have a brain short circuit occasionally when you don't get enough sleep."
When the grandmother heard Yan Feng say that her bag had been retrieved and confirmed that she had not left it on the high-speed train, she finally breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that it's back. I thought I left it on the train because I was in a daze and hurriedly got off the high-speed train."
Ru Meng comforted her, "It doesn't matter if you didn't take the bag, as long as you come back safely."
"Grandma didn't have time to pack her clothes. The bags are filled with herbs that I picked for your grandma and dad. Luckily, I plan to go to the city in two days, so I can dry the herbs and pack them in advance when I get home. Otherwise, this trip would have been in vain."
Grandma said, with a hint of sadness in her tone.
Grandma held grandma in her arms, and was so moved that she didn't know what to say.
Rumeng patted the back of her grandmother's hand, indicating that she shouldn't be polite, as they were a family.
Yan Feng looked at his grandmother with eyes full of love: "The bag is very heavy, grandma, you should give priority to your personal safety when you encounter danger in the future. We can accompany you to get the luggage and herbs."
He was encouraged to hear what his grandmother said. He was the only one who had carried his grandmother's luggage bag, which was very heavy. It turned out that it was full of life-saving herbs. It was really hard for the old lady.
Chu Xing, Ru Meng, Yan Feng, Han Ge, and Xiang Ming all agreed: "Yan Feng is right. Grandma must put her own safety first when she encounters danger in the future. We will find other ways later."
At this moment, they all wanted to know what their grandmother had experienced and why she had to travel in the dark at night.
But everyone could only keep this doubt in their hearts, and no one knew how to ask, for fear of saying something wrong and hurting the old man's feelings, or ruining the atmosphere at the moment.
When I first woke up, I looked at my grandmother countless times with a twitch on my lips, but I still didn't know how to ask.
Grandma nodded slightly: "Okay, I will listen to you from now on."
Yan Feng sat close to his grandmother. After hesitating for a moment, he opened the lid of the stew pot in front of his grandmother:
"Grandma, you must have lost a lot of sweat while walking with such a thick cotton jacket on. You should drink a few more ginseng soup to replenish your body functions."
Song Yang agreed: "Yes, this soup is ordered based on the physical condition of grandma and grandma. You and grandma should drink more soup."
"You kids are so thoughtful. Grandma is fine. She's just a little tired from traveling last night. She will recover after a good rest," said grandma.
She paused and continued, "I know you are worried about grandma and want to know what happened to her last night. You should all eat first and listen to grandma while you eat. Don't get hungry."
Ru Meng curled her lips and said, "Grandma, please eat first. When you are full, tell us slowly. After we understand the situation, we can discuss countermeasures."
"Rumeng is right, grandma. Only after we know the situation can we discuss countermeasures." Chuxing said.
After he put some food into the bowls of grandma, grandma and Rumeng, he looked guilty: "It's all my fault. I didn't handle the matter properly and let you all get involved."
Song Yang patted Chu Xing's shoulder and said, "Don't say such polite words. Let's deal with it together actively. There is no hurdle that cannot be overcome."
Yan Feng, Han Ge, and Xiang Ming all said in unison: "Song Yang is right. If we work together, there is no problem that cannot be solved."
They knew that with the current strength of the Chu family, there was no need for them to help, but that was another matter. Friends and brothers sticking together was a psychological and spiritual force, which was different from those who sold their lives for money.
Although Chu Xing looks cold, he is a sentimental person.
What he needs to deal with now is the unclear relationship between relatives, and he still can't bear to do it. Everyone understands.
Perhaps, only when faced with a crueler reality can people harden their hearts.
Chu Xing smiled and said, "Let's eat first. Eat your fill first, then talk. The food is getting cold. Don't let the hard work of the Michelin chef go to waste."
After taking two sips of soup, grandma chuckled and said, "Grandma knows what you kids are thinking. If I don't tell you about my adventure last night, you won't be able to eat in peace."
"When it just got dark yesterday, I found a few strange men sneaking around my house. I thought about how apart from people who came to seek medical treatment, there were very few strangers in my place. I was a little cautious at the time, but I didn't think of anything bad," said my grandmother.
She paused, then continued, "It wasn't until I answered Ru Meng's call at my neighbor's aunt's house that I realized something bad was going to happen. These people were coming straight for me."
Everyone present was looking at grandma intently, with nervous expressions, and eager to hear her continue speaking.
Rumeng couldn't help but ask with concern: "Didn't uncle and aunt send you home?"
Grandma nodded slightly: "I was afraid that I would cause trouble to my uncle and aunt, so I didn't ask them to send me. Without my uncle and aunt by my side, I can move more freely."
"What's next? Grandma, please continue." Han Ge said. He stopped using his chopsticks, already eager to listen to the rest.
Yan Feng, Xiang Ming, and Song Yang also nodded continuously. They were eager to press the fast-forward button to let their grandmother finish speaking in one breath.
Chu Xing was so nervous that he stopped using his chopsticks and kept rubbing his brows. "Grandma, do you know how many people there are?"
Grandma shook her head: "I don't know the exact number, and I can't be sure, but there were about 6 people chasing me."
Xiang Ming gnashed his teeth and said, "God damn it, it's so lawless that they don't even let an old lady go."
"Among the six people, there must be one or two locals involved, but it was dark and I couldn't see their faces clearly, there were too many people and the noise was too loud, and I was busy running, so I didn't have time to listen carefully or look back to identify them. Now I can't guess who was involved." said grandma.
Then, the old man shook his head and lamented:
"Fortunately, grandma often goes up the mountain to collect herbs. She is familiar with the terrain and road conditions, and can run faster than them at night. Even if they have local people involved, they dare not run around after passing the mountain at the entrance of the village because the road is difficult to walk on in the dark."
Yan Feng looked puzzled: "Locals are also involved, how unkind. Grandma, did you have any feud with anyone in the countryside?"
Grandma shook her head slightly: "I haven't offended anyone, but people are just a matter of thought. It's hard for some people not to be tempted by money. The economic environment has not been good in the past two years, life has become difficult, and people's hearts have changed."
Yan Feng nodded slightly: "Understood."
Grandma nodded slightly: "Money makes the world go round. This saying has never changed. What our ancestors said is not without basis."
She continued, "Demons only care about money. How can we expect them to be humane? They will only do things beyond the bottom line of human ethics for the sake of money."
After Han Ge hesitated for a moment, he couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Who do you think did this? Was it Chu Huating and his son, or Xu Feifei's people?"
"It's hard to draw a conclusion now. Both sides are possible." Chu Xing shook his head and said. After thinking for a few seconds, he continued:
"Xu Feifei is not a good person. She is much worse than we thought. She is in urgent need of money, but she has no money at the moment. If she doesn't give a certain amount of deposit to others, unless..."
Han Ge, Yan Feng, Xiang Ming and Song Yang all understood immediately.
Yan Feng blew away the strands of hair that fell in front of his eyes and thought for a moment: "If it's not Xu Feifei, then Chu Huating and his son have set their sights on my sister-in-law."
Grandma nodded slightly: "When I returned from my neighbor's house that night, I was followed as soon as I walked out of the neighbor's door. After I opened the door and entered the house, I found about two or three people standing outside the window. After careful consideration, I can conclude that they are not robbing or stealing, but came with a premeditated plan."
