Chapter 888: 220: Those Unknown Past Events!_4
Grandma Liu was old, bound by bound feet, and had no descendants. Even buying simple things was a struggle for her, so Ni Yang would regularly deliver staples like grain and oil to her.
Grandma Liu was often bored at home alone, but she became overjoyed when she saw Ni Yang. She immediately brought out the best things she had at home to entertain her.
Ni Yang had dinner at Grandma Liu’s before cycling back to the Zheng family’s home.
The day passed, and Zheng Suyu’s spirits seemed to have lifted.
The elderly Madam Zheng sat on the sofa, chatting with her. Zheng Lingling, Sun Wu, and Zheng Xianjing, a family of three, occupied the opposite couch.
"Suyu, how about I go out with you tomorrow for a walk?"
Zheng Suyu shook her head, "I don’t want to go out."
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to go out, but that she didn’t dare to.
Before Lingling had said anything, Suyu didn’t dare to step outside.
"It’s not good to always be cooped up at home," continued the elderly Madam Zheng. "You’ve been sick for so many years, aren’t you curious about what the outside has become?"
Zheng Suyu lifted her cup and took a sip of tea, remaining silent. Her eyes, which were not yet muddled, were filled with sorrow.
Zheng Lingling nudged Zheng Xianjing with her elbow.
Zheng Xianjing immediately understood and said with a smile, "Auntie, let my mother and me accompany you for a stroll tomorrow, shall we?"
Is that okay?
Zheng Suyu looked up at Zheng Lingling.
Zheng Lingling said, "Aunt Suyu, it’s rare for Xianjing to show such filial piety. Please indulge her this once."
The elderly Madam Zheng added, "Suyu, Xianjing is a particularly filial child. Knowing you had regained consciousness, she hurried back from school last night. Don’t let her heartfelt effort go unnoticed."
"Auntie, where are you all planning to go for fun? Take me with you, please?" Ni Yang entered from outside.
Zheng Lingling glanced subtly at Zheng Suyu.
Zheng Suyu immediately said, "I don’t want to go out these days. When I feel like going out, I’ll call you to join us. It’s more lively with more people."
"Okay," Ni Yang nodded.
The elderly Madam Zheng looked at Ni Yang, continuing, "Yangyang, where have you been? You’ve come back so late."
Ni Yang said, "I went back to the village for a bit."
Hearing this, Zheng Xianjing cast a disdainful glance at Ni Yang, filled with scorn.
Rural folk will always be rural folk. Always talking about going back to the village. Even if you dress her in a dragon robe, she doesn’t look like a city person.
The elderly Madam Zheng nodded, "You’ve been out for quite a time. It’s indeed time to check back. How is everything over there, all good?"
Ni Yang responded with a smile, "Don’t worry, everything’s fine."
"That’s good to hear."
"Auntie Suyu, have an orange," Zheng Lingling peeled an orange and handed it to Zheng Suyu, passing her a meaningful glance.
Zheng Suyu accepted the orange, "Thank you, Lingling."
Zheng Lingling’s face was filled with a smile, "Aunt Suyu, you were the person I admired the most when I was little. Why be so formal with me? I remember oranges were your favorite back then."
"It’s kind of Lingling to remember your preferences," the elderly Madam Zheng said with a laugh.
With the words Ni Yang had spoken earlier, the elderly Madam Zheng paid special attention to Zheng Lingling that day.
Upon her observation, she didn’t find anything unusual about Lingling.
She was even particularly kind to Zheng Suyu.
Such a filial child ought not to be capable of doing such a thing.
Ni Yang must have been overthinking it.
After eating half the orange, Zheng Suyu looked up at Ni Yang, "Yangyang, I suddenly feel a bit unwell; can you accompany me upstairs to check?"
As soon as Zheng Suyu mentioned feeling unwell, the elderly Madam Zheng grew anxious, "Suyu, where do you feel uncomfortable? Is it very painful?"
Zheng Suyu shook her head, "It shouldn’t be anything serious, just let Yangyang take a look."
Ni Yang nodded and put down her cup, "Then, I’ll accompany you to check."
"Alright."
Ni Yang supported Zheng Suyu and they walked upstairs.
Upon arriving in Zheng Suyu’s room, Ni Yang asked, "Auntie, where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Zheng Suyu’s complexion was pale, and her gaze somewhat elusive, "I-I have a bit of a headache."
"Stretch out your hand, I’ll take your pulse for you," Ni Yang offered.
"Okay," Zheng Suyu hesitated and then extended her wrist. 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝔭𝖚𝖇.𝔠𝖔𝔪
Ni Yang placed her hand on Zheng Suyu’s wrist, focusing as she felt for the pulse.
It was clear.
Zheng Suyu was feigning illness.
But Ni Yang didn’t expose her and instead said, "Auntie, it’s normal to have some headache after a major illness. A good sleep should fix it. If it becomes unbearable though, I can also prescribe you some painkillers."
