Chapter 575 Adding fuel to the fire
When she got home, night had already fallen. Ni'er's stomach was already growling with hunger, and her chest was almost sticking to her back.
Ni'er cried out weakly: "Dad, is there anything to eat? I'm hungry~"
When the third son heard his daughter's cry, he hurried over from the makeshift stove outside the house.
He looked at Ni'er's weak appearance and felt distressed. He hurriedly comforted her, "You must be exhausted, Ni'er."
"Hold on a little longer, the meal will be ready soon. Go wash your hands first. Today we have your favorite dishes."
Recently, the third brother and his family have been eating outside.
Although the newly built house is still in its infancy, its general outline can already be seen.
It won't be long before they can move into their spacious and bright new house.
As the night deepened, a family of four sat around the dining table, happily eating dinner.
The dishes on the table are simple but full of the taste of home.
The family ate and talked, laughing constantly, and their happy appearance made people feel warm.
However, this heartwarming scene was seen clearly by the old lady who was hiding in the dark and peeking.
As she looked at the happy appearance of the third brother's family, the jealousy in her heart grew wildly like weeds, and she gnashed her teeth in hatred.
"Why is their family so rich?" the old lady muttered indignantly.
"That bastard, I don't know what kind of shit luck he has, to be able to live such a good life."
"When that bastard is not around, I will go ask the third brother for money."
The old lady became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. She cursed inwardly, "And I don't know what happened to that beautiful jade. It's like she disappeared after taking the money. There's no news at all."
"We've been waiting for so long, is it possible that she wants to default on her debt?"
The old lady cursed the third brother's family and Meiyu in her heart, then turned around and went back angrily.
Along the way, she was thinking about how to ask the third brother for money so that she could live a good life.
The old lady acted decisively and promptly. The next morning, while Ni'er was away, she hurried to the third brother's house.
I think it wouldn't be difficult to get the third brother's money. After all, if there is one, there will be two.
However, the development of things was beyond the old lady's expectations.
The third brother was indifferent to the old lady's request. No matter how hard the old lady tried to persuade him, he was determined not to give her any more money.
The old lady was met with a cold shoulder, and the anger in her heart erupted like a volcano.
She felt that she had been greatly wronged and had a lot of resentment that she had no place to vent.
So the old lady angrily came to the entrance of the village, where there was a group of people who often sat there to bask in the sun.
She rushed into the crowd and began to express her resentment in an exaggerated way.
"Let me tell you, that Niu Xiaoni is not a serious doctor!" The old lady's voice was filled with anger.
"She specializes in cheating people out of their money, and then she takes the money and cures the person to death. This way, there will be no evidence against her, and she can get away with it!"
"This is absolutely true. She is definitely not as kind as you think!"
Someone in the crowd questioned: "No way, last time I was sick, she didn't charge me any money and even cured me."
The old lady immediately retorted: "That's because she sees that you don't have much money. If you have money, try it and see if she will cheat you!"
At this time, Ni'er was helping her master.
Suddenly, without warning, she sneezed.
Nier raised her head and glanced at the bright sun outside, then rubbed her nose and said to herself, "Who is saying bad things about me behind my back?"
After hearing Nier's words, the people at the entrance of the village, who were originally listless, became energetic and began to talk at once.
"What? Why don't I know about this? Tell us about it!"
"That's right, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us now!"
"Yes, yes, tell us the details quickly, so we can hear something new!"
Everyone was urging everyone to do something, and the scene was very lively.
The old lady took her time, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense, and said mysteriously, "This is a long story. Let me tell you slowly..."
Her keeping the suspense aroused everyone's appetite.
Everyone pricked up their ears, afraid of missing any details, and listened to the old lady carefully.
As the saying goes, good news doesn’t travel far, but bad news travels far and wide.
The news spread throughout the village quickly like wings.
On the way home, Nier clearly felt that the way people looked at her became strange, which was different from usual.
Those people who usually greeted her and talked to her warmly, today acted as if they didn't know her, with cold faces and ignored her.
Nier's heart was full of doubts, she couldn't figure out what was going on.
Everyone's attitude towards her was originally quite friendly, but why did there suddenly come a drastic change?
Just when she was puzzled, a group of children came towards her on the road.
Seeing this, Nier immediately showed a warm smile on her face and took the initiative to greet them: "Where are you going to play?"
However, what Neil never expected was that the children's reactions would be so intense.
All of them raised their eyebrows, and one of them stared at her viciously and shouted, "You are trying to kill me for money!"
Then, another child spit a "Pooh" at Ni'er and muttered, "Bad guy!"
Before she could finish her words, the group of children ran away like the wind, leaving Ni'er standing there stupidly, completely at a loss as to what to do.
Nier stared blankly at the children's backs as they walked away, feeling sad.
She really couldn't understand what she had done wrong to make these people feel so much hatred towards her.
Nier stood in the middle of the road and stopped a little child.
The child was so frightened that his face turned pale instantly. Tears welled up in his eyes and he was about to cry.
"My mother doesn't let me play with you." The child stammered, his voice full of fear and anxiety.
Upon seeing this, Nier quickly took out two pieces of candy wrapped in paper from her pocket and shook them in front of the child.
Temptation said: "If you tell me why your mother doesn't let you play with me, these two candies will be yours."
The child's attention was attracted by the two pieces of candy, and the tears that were about to flow out now flowed from another place.
The corners of his mouth unconsciously rose slightly, as if he was imagining the sweet taste of the candy.
His hand unconsciously wiped the wet corners of his mouth.
