Chapter 572: Drinking Water
But if I can't get the money, I will never give up.
At that time, he would reveal all the shameful and dirty things that Nier had done without hesitation.
Almost everyone knew that Ni'er had accepted one hundred taels of silver.
Everyone was drooling over this huge sum of money. I wonder how many pairs of eyes were staring at her!
If she made any mistake, even the slightest error, those people would be able to drown her with just a spit from them.
Moreover, after the epidemic broke out, the sick and healthy people were separated, and many people must have been unaware of what she did.
If these people knew that Nier used her status as a doctor to commit murder and robbery, she would definitely not be able to keep her money.
The old lady thought that if she couldn't get the money, it would be better not to let others get it. This way, she would feel a little better.
So, after some secret planning, the old lady and Niu Meiyu finally came up with a plan to deal with the situation.
Then, they came together to the vicinity of the third brother's house, ready to wait for an opportunity to act.
After arriving at the place, the two observed for a while and found that the bastard who made them hate him so much was not around, which made them feel a little relieved.
However, when the old lady saw the helpers building the house in full swing, she suddenly felt a mixture of emotions and felt very uncomfortable.
Just at this moment, the third brother happened to turn around and saw the old lady and Niu Meiyu at a glance.
He originally wanted to pretend that he didn't see it and just turn around and walk away, but after hesitating for a moment, he stopped.
At this moment, the old lady and Niu Meiyu forced a smile from the corners of their mouths, and that smile was uglier than crying.
Seeing this, the third brother felt a little reluctant, but he couldn't just turn around and leave, so he had to bite the bullet and walk forward.
"What do you two want from me?" The third brother's tone was a little cold, as if he was not very welcoming to these two people.
Upon seeing this, Niu Meiyu quickly adjusted her expression, trying her best to look more natural, less calculated and more sincere.
"Third brother, I really haven't seen you for a long time!" Niu Meiyu said tenderly, "So, such a big thing happened at home, I was really worried, so I thought of coming to see how you were doing."
As she spoke, she looked at the third child with resentful eyes, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
"Although you told me not to come here again, you are my biological brother after all. We are related by blood!"
Niu Meiyu continued, "I have been worried about you all this time. I couldn't eat or sleep well, and I lost a lot of weight!"
"Now that I see you are all safe and sound, you have no idea how happy I am."
The old lady looked at the third son's expression and was secretly happy. She knew that the third son still cared about family affection and that as long as he made a little more effort, there would be no problem.
So the old lady took over the conversation and said, "I was so seriously ill at the time and almost died. I was thinking about you brothers and sisters."
"I was alone there. Although there were others to serve me, they were not my family after all. I had to urge them even for a drink of water, let alone to take care of them wholeheartedly. I was lucky to be able to survive."
"I want to talk to someone, but they all ignore me. It makes me, an old woman, feel very uncomfortable."
"I finally recovered from my illness and could walk again, so I wanted to come see you. Then I happened to meet Meiyu, and we came here together."
The third child felt more and more uncomfortable as he listened to his mother's words.
He imagined his mother lying there all alone, with no one to talk to her and no one really caring about her, and his heart couldn't help but feel sad.
Niu Meiyu felt like she was being roasted on a fire and was almost going crazy with the heat.
She raised her hands, trying to block the glaring sunlight, but the sunlight still shone directly into her eyes through her fingers, forcing her to squint.
"Third brother, do you have any water? I've been under the scorching sun all the way here, my throat is almost smoking, I'm dying of thirst!"
Niu Meiyu's voice was filled with a hint of anxiety and irritability.
The third child felt a little distressed when he saw his sister's face was sunburned red.
He said quickly, "Yes, don't worry, I'll bring it to you right away. They're building a house over there, and there's dirt everywhere, so don't go over there, or you'll get your clothes dirty."
Niu Meiyu didn't want to go over in the first place, but when she heard what the third brother said, she nodded repeatedly.
She didn't want her clean clothes to be stained with dirty mud.
Not long after, the third brother came over with two large bowls full of water.
The two bowls of water sparkled in the sunlight, somewhat dazzling.
When Niu Meiyu and the old lady saw the water, their eyes lit up. Without saying a word, they picked up the bowls and started drinking it in big gulps.
After drinking a bowl of water, both of them felt unsatisfied. It seemed as if there was a fire burning in their throats, and more water was urgently needed to put it out.
So, they both shouted at the same time: "Another bowl!"
Seeing this, the third brother hurriedly went to fetch two more bowls of water.
This time, the two of them drank more happily, and the "gulp gulp" sound was particularly loud.
The second bowl of water was also drunk up, and the two finally felt their thirst was relieved and breathed a sigh of satisfaction.
"Third brother, look at this posture, you are going to build a big house!"
Niu Meiyu shouted excitedly while wiping the water stains from the corners of her mouth with her hands.
After hearing this, the third brother scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly, "Hey, you have a pretty sharp eye."
The third child was actually very happy in his heart. Being praised always makes people feel happy.
Niu Meiyu's eyes widened even wider, filled with envy.
"You are really unique in the village. You can live in such a big house so quickly!" she exclaimed. "How enviable!"
"Haha, you flatter me, little sister."
The third brother felt a little flattered by the praise, and his heart felt as sweet as if he had eaten honey.
He felt that he was recognized, and this feeling was really intoxicating!
Niu Meiyu was not stingy in praising the third brother, calling him "awesome" and "third brother" all the time, and she called him so affectionately.
The third brother felt so happy when he heard this.
Meiyu knew very well that her third brother had no resistance to this kind of trick.
She had been patiently waiting for the perfect moment.
Finally, when she felt the time was almost ripe, she told him the real purpose of her visit without hesitation.
