140 Scolding
The next day, Jian Qingqing sent the prepared food to Granny Lin just like yesterday. Thinking of Granny Lin’s hoarse voice, she even made a cup of honey flower tea.
In summer, there were many mosquitoes. Grass also grew outside Granny Lin’s house. Jian Qingqing took a few mosquito repellent medicine bags from home and a machete to mow the grass for her.
When she went there, the house was still as quiet as before, as if no one had ever lived there before.
This time, Jian Qingqing slapped the door directly. The door was knocked so hard that it swayed, as if it would be knocked down in the next second.
“Granny Lin, open the door quickly!”
Granny Lin slowly went to open the door. She looked at her helplessly and said, “Don’t come here again in the future. I��m an old woman who is about to die. I’m not worth your effort.”
Jian Qingqing handed the food box to her, she giggled and said, “It’s fate that we met. Everyone must have the right to live. I want to come here. I even come here every day. There’s a cup of honey flower tea in the food box. It’s to moisten your throat. You must remember to drink it.”
As she said that, she took out a few mosquito repellent packets and stuffed them into her hands. “Take this mosquito repellent with you. There won’t be so many mosquitoes. Alright, go in and have a good meal.”
After saying that, she did not linger and turned to leave. However, she did not go home. Instead, she walked to the foot of the mountain and started to cut down the weeds that were as tall as a person on both sides of the road.
Granny Lin thought that she had gone home and could only helplessly carry the food box into the house. However, she did not eat it. Instead, she placed it on the table and continued to recite the scriptures.
Two identical food boxes were placed on the table. The one from last night had already been washed clean by Granny Lin.
At noon, Granny Lin vaguely heard a rustling sound coming from outside. She pushed the door open in puzzlement and went out to take a look. She did not expect that the person who she thought had already left would still be here. The small person was waving a thick and heavy machete and chopping grass that was taller than her. Her originally fair and round face was full of sweat. Dried grass stuck onto her body, making her look dirty.
Granny Lin asked coldly, “What are you doing!”
Jian Qingqing stopped mowing the grass and said with a smile, “Granny Lin, if you don’t cut the grass, it will grow into your house. Let me help you clean it up.”
Granny Lin’s face was cold, she said sternly, “I don’t need it! Little Girl, don’t you understand human language? I don’t need your help. If you want to show your kindness, then go somewhere else! I live more at ease than anyone else. I don’t need anyone’s help. Your self-righteous kindness is disturbing me! Go away. Don’t come back again.”
The smile on Jian Qingqing’s face slowly fell. She wiped the sweat from her forehead. She said seriously, “Granny Lin, although I don’t know what happened to you, if your relatives were still alive, they wouldn’t want you to torture yourself like this. They would definitely want you to be safe, healthy, and happy. I didn’t come to help you because I had nowhere to vent my kindness. If I wanted to help people, I could help the beggars on the streets or the poor who couldn’t afford to eat. I didn’t have to come here to be treated coldly by you again and again. I helped you because I always felt that you shouldn’t be like this. You should have a better life. Didn’t you torture yourself like this to make your loved ones feel better? I hope you won’t hurt your loved ones.”
After saying this, she left without looking at Granny Lin’s reaction.
