When they arrived, they saw a kind old man sitting in the living room, watching them enter.
"You're here! Why did you make such a big fuss? I know my own health."
"You speak less. I told you to go to the hospital long ago, but you didn't listen. Now look!" Even though Elder Ye was directly criticized like this, the old man didn't seem angry. He was still kindly advising Elder Ye not to make more trouble.
"Little Xing'er, come and let your Grandpa Hua take a look!" Elder Ye snorted coldly, ignoring everyone and directly calling Ji Xing Mi over to have a look. Ji Xing Mi didn't miss Elder Ye's eye-roll. Seeing the old man make that gesture, Ji Xing Mi chuckled.
"You are Little Xing'er. I finally get to meet you. Hmm, a young hero. I hope you can contribute more to the country in the future. Our country needs talents like you."
"Then Grandpa Hua, can you offer a lighter price next time?" Ji Xing Mi said, while feeling his pulse.
"Oh? Hahahahaha! As expected of Old Man Ji's granddaughter! Just as fierce!"
Ji Xing Mi didn't reply. She frowned, already feeling a little impressed with the old man before her. His body could hold on this long entirely due to willpower! His entire body was like a broken bottle. No matter how much he was replenished, it was still lost faster. Moreover, his lungs showed early signs of lung cancer.
"Don't frown, you look like a little old man!"
"Xing'er?"
Hua Qing Ming himself didn't feel there was any problem, but Elder Ye couldn't stand it. Seeing Little Xing'er frowning and looking so serious, he couldn't help but call out.
"I'm not a little old man, at most a little old lady!" Ji Xing Mi disliked the atmosphere and tried to lighten it up by acting silly.
"Pfft~ Hahahaha!"
"Did Grandpa Hua take my medicine?! Was it from Uncle Gu?" Ji Xing Mi asked directly. He had taken the life-saving medicine she had given to Uncle Gu, which was why he was still sitting here. Otherwise, given his condition, he would not have woken up after collapsing last time.
"Why do you think that?" Hua Qing Ming retorted.
"Because of this medicine, besides giving Uncle Gu three pills, I only gave it to Grandpa... Did Grandpa give it to me?"
That's right, why hadn't she thought of that? Besides giving that fox-like uncle three pills, she also gave some to Grandpa. She gave Grandpa five pills! How could Grandpa? Wasn't Grandpa sent down? How could he have a connection with this person? Realizing something, Ji Xing Mi looked up directly at the old man, who was also looking at her.
"Hmm~ Quick reaction! Your medicine is indeed effective. I thought I wouldn't wake up this time!"
"Shut up! If it weren't for Old Ji thinking of you, I would have brought them here to offer incense by now!" Hearing him say that, Old Master Ye couldn't help but retort sarcastically.
"Alright, don't be angry! It's fine now, right? Xing'er, may I call you that?"
Ji Xing Mi was still looking at him, thinking about Grandpa's affairs. Why was this medicine in his hands? Did Grandpa give it willingly? Or was there some transaction? She had too many questions. Before she could figure them out, they called her. "Hmm? Yes, you can!"
"You two go and sit aside for a while. Xiao Zhang, prepare something to eat for them!"
"Then Sister~" Ji Hao Qi was still thinking about his sister!
"She has other matters. You go first." Elder Ye directly dismissed the two. It was better if they didn't get involved in what was about to happen next. Fortunately, the two boys didn't overthink it and went out with Xiao Zhang.
It seemed his sister would be fine here, but it would be difficult for them. They could barely breathe. It was better to wait aside. This was what both of them thought, and it was surprisingly consistent. Only their sister was truly brave, still able to joke with others. Their legs felt a bit weak.
"Are you thinking about your grandfather?"
"Hmm~ Curious! Wasn't Grandpa demoted? How could he still have contact with you, and in this state..."
"Why did you stop? What did you think of?"
"So, was this all planned?"
"Not entirely. It was indeed sudden, but it didn't stop us from making plans according to someone else's plan!"
"Ah? Grandpa didn't tell the truth either! I was thinking of asking him to come back later by setting conditions. No wonder he stopped me then. I won't give him wine next time. No, there's still wine in the other courtyard. I'll have Dad move it back next time we go!"
"Hahahaha."
