Chapter 14: A Big Bucket Can Hold All Kinds of Trash
As soon as she said that, the old woman's gaze changed: "You know my granddaughter?"
“I don’t know her.” Lin Sui shook his head, then added, “But I do know that your granddaughter suddenly became mentally disabled a month ago for no apparent reason.”
pat!
The old woman's face changed drastically, and she even dropped her cane in fright.
She has never told anyone about her granddaughter except the doctors she has seen and her son and daughter-in-law.
She also admitted that her granddaughter wasn't important enough for someone to specifically go to the hospital to find out about her situation.
So, this seemingly immature little girl might actually be a hidden master!
The old woman's cloudy eyes suddenly brightened, and she tremblingly rushed to the iron gate, grasping at Lin Sui's arm tightly through the bars as if it were a lifeline: "Master, you can save her, you can definitely save her, right..."
She was incredibly strong; her nails almost dug into Lin Sui's flesh, leaving red marks on her pale forearm.
However, before Lin Sui could react, Tang Xi became anxious.
She yanked the old woman's hand away and pulled Lin Suizhi backward.
Lu Xiang's face also darkened: "Let's talk this out, don't resort to violence."
"Yes, yes..." The old woman quickly opened the iron gate and let them in.
Looks like Lin Sui was right! I knew she wasn't a con artist!
[It seems like they have some skills, but I don't know how many bristles they have.]
[This looks like it's scripted, otherwise why not go to a haunted house instead of coming here?]
I've watched all of Director Wu's variety shows; his main focus is authenticity, and he completely disdains scripted content.
Is it possible that what you perceive as "reality" is actually a script?
[Suddenly realized that Lin Sui and Tang Xi are kind of a good couple, how about checking out the Lin-Tang pairing?]
[A funeral parlor? Good grief, a couple can be down-to-earth, but not to the point of being in hell. You're trying to go straight to the King of Hell!]
The group followed the old woman to her granddaughter's room.
Before even reaching the door, Yu Cinian stood still.
He smiled slightly: "Gentlemen should refrain from entering a girl's room."
That lunatic is faking it again!
Si Xingran scoffed and strode inside.
Less than a second later, he retreated the way he came, and stood even further away.
Seeing Lin Sui's gaze sweep over him, he said without changing his expression, "A gentleman should indeed stop."
In the end, only three girls entered the room, but they didn't stay long before Lu Xiang couldn't help but leave.
The windows were tightly closed, making the room feel small, dark, stuffy, and damp. A foul odor, like that of unwashed excrement mixed with mold, filled the entire room, making it quite uncomfortable.
Lin Sui had anticipated this and could barely accept it; as for Tang Xi…
Lin Sui glanced at her silently, thinking to herself that she must be used to it.
The old woman seemed to have no time to worry about anything else. She hurriedly turned on the light, pointed at the person on the bed, and said, "This is my granddaughter. For a whole month now, she's been sitting like this every day. No matter how much I scold her or hit her, she doesn't react."
The girl was emaciated, pale and thin, wearing a faded dress. She sat disheveled on the edge of the bed, which was covered only by a worn-out straw mat. Her eyes were vacant and lifeless, her expression blank. She muttered to herself, "...Mom...Mom..."
"what is her name?"
Hearing Lin Sui ask, the old woman paused, then sighed and said, "Her name is Song Dilai. Her mother named her that."
Song Dilai just turned sixteen this year. If nothing unexpected happens, she will be able to take the high school entrance exam in a little over half a month and graduate smoothly.
“A month ago, she brought her classmates here to play, saying she wanted to go hiking. She was fine when she went out, but she had to be carried back in the evening.”
The old woman awkwardly combed Song Dilai's messy hair, tears welling in her eyes: "Her classmate said she accidentally rolled down the mountain and hit her head. She was taken to the hospital, and the doctor said she was fine, just unconscious. But when she woke up, she was like this..."
The son is usually busy with work and has no time to take care of the children, and the daughter-in-law is not close to the children, so the granddaughter has been raised by her since she was a child.
Later, when the village was haunted, the daughter-in-law insisted on moving out. She also claimed that "her son is in poor health and cannot spare the extra energy to take care of his daughter," and forcibly abandoned her granddaughter to her.
For the next ten years, only the grandmother and granddaughter remained, relying on each other for survival.
Since her granddaughter became mentally disabled, the once energetic old woman, not yet sixty, has aged rapidly and is barely clinging to life.
Over the past month, she tried countless times to get her daughter-in-law to come back and take her granddaughter to a big city for treatment and care, but she was either given the runaround or simply ignored on the phone.
"I'm someone who's half-buried in the ground, I really, really don't know what to do..." The old woman was almost in despair, and she broke down in tears as she said this.
[Holy crap! Is this scripted? If not, I'm going to curse this woman out!]
[As expected, a big bucket holds all sorts of trash. Others are sexist, but she's just acting like she never had this daughter, throwing the old and the young together—it's like stabbing someone in the ass! Unbelievable!]
[These girls always help each other, so this kind of thing would never happen!]
So the guy has disappeared again, hasn't he? Even after all this, he hasn't mentioned his son once? I don't believe her son knows nothing!
[This isn't a script; I actually come from Lotus Village. Grandma Song's daughter-in-law really dislikes her daughter, never giving her a kind look. Grandma Song, on the other hand, feeds her granddaughter all sorts of milk and eggs every day, making her plump and healthy, which we all envied so much. How did she become senile?]
Lin Sui carefully examined Song Dilai's face, then her gaze moved down and landed on her rough hands, which didn't look like those of a teenage girl, and she paused slightly.
The old woman looked at her hopefully: "Master, you said you could help me, is that true?"
Lin Sui didn't answer, but took out a QR code for receiving payments: "100,000, no bargaining, pay the deposit first."
Asking for money right off the bat?
The old woman hesitated for a moment, looking at her with some suspicion.
Lin Sui neither flinched nor dodged, his dark eyes seemingly able to see through people's hearts: "If you want to live, you can only trust me."
These words made Tangxi glance at her.
The old woman was startled, but she didn't say anything. She gritted her teeth and used her smartphone to scan the code and pay.
【What?! Making a script is one thing, but robbing people? Has Lin Suiqiong gone mad?!】
[Scamming 100,000? That's a real crime!]
After receiving the deposit, Lin Sui looked around the small room and saw a photo of a young couple on the wall above the bed. After thinking for a moment, she took a picture of it with her phone.
"Is there anything she has used closely for a long time? If not, her usual clothes will also work."
The old woman thought for a moment, then picked up a dusty little bear doll from under the bed: "How about this? Her mother gave it to her before she left, and she hugs it to sleep every night."
"can."
Lin Sui took the teddy bear and was about to leave when she stopped and turned to look at the old woman: "It would be best to help her clean up. I think you wouldn't want her to have any more health problems."
The old woman paused, then lowered her head and wiped away her tears: "It's my fault for being so old and useless. I can't even take good care of my granddaughter."
Seeing this, Lin Sui remained silent.
After getting the information she wanted, she didn't leave immediately. Instead, she hurriedly walked to a shady corner of the yard, leaned against the wall for a while with rapid breathing, and then, pale-faced, rummaged through her bag and pulled out a bottle of medicine.
Si Xingran was very curious about how she was going to resolve Song Dilai's matter, and couldn't wait to go up and ask her.
Unexpectedly, a leg came flying at him, blocking his path.
Lu Xiang crossed her arms and glanced at him sideways: "Can you shut up for a second? If not, I'll help you."
