Chapter 273: Chapter 273: Picking a Fight Again
But as he said this, he couldn’t help but start to recall the events that had just unfolded.
It must be said, it was indeed very interesting.
Waiting for them to get home.
Li Yanling naturally asked him to stay for another meal.
After the meal, Liu Zheng left.
After all, he still had his own matters to attend to, and he couldn’t possibly stay at someone’s home indefinitely.
Not only that, but during this time, he really needed to deal with a lot of issues.
He had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.
Even he himself didn’t know what was going on.
As soon as he had not been home for long,
suddenly there was a series of knocks at the door.
This made him feel a bit strange, wondering who it could be today.
Because it seemed like a day off.
He should have hung a ’closed’ sign on his door.
He originally didn’t plan to pay attention to it.
But the knocking grew more and more intense.
In the end, he could only go to the door to open it, curious to see who it could be.
But to his surprise, when he carefully looked at the entrance, he found that it was the old lady standing in front of him.
Seeing this scene, he was really surprised, having no idea why the old lady would come here, or what she wanted.
Especially in such a situation.
He was indeed a bit afraid of the old lady coming here to spout nonsense again.
Last time, he had dealt with her quite properly, but he didn’t know whether she would change or not.
"Save me... I... I’m feeling very unwell..."
Unexpectedly, this time after he saw her, she didn’t throw a tantrum or roll on the ground, but instead said such words, seemingly out of nowhere.
Facing such a scene, Liu Zheng felt a bit puzzled, unsure of what she was really getting at.
This person who used to have such a bad relationship with him, now suddenly speaking like this, was a bit too suspicious.
At this moment, he was considering how to handle the situation.
No matter what, he couldn’t fall for her trick.
But he was also afraid that she might really be feeling very unwell, and judging by her appearance, she did seem quite uncomfortable.
"I... I’ve had a fever for several days now, and no medicine has helped... If the fever continues like this, my old bones will be ruined..."
She was already half-lying on the ground, clutching at the door.
The passersby watching this scene became curious and started to ask questions.
"Who is this woman? What’s wrong with her?"
"She looks very uncomfortable; I just got here, so I don’t know what happened."
"Yeah, this all happened so suddenly, we don’t understand what’s going on."
...
They were unclear about what had transpired.
With so many people watching, how could he just stand by and do nothing? In the end, he took the old lady inside.
"Tell me, where do you feel unwell?"
He wasn’t particularly loathsome to begin with.
Although there had been some friction between them before, and some unpleasant things had occurred, no matter what, he could still clearly prioritize. If she were truly in great discomfort now, he would definitely offer her some help, at least a little.
And very soon,
the person in front of him immediately spoke.
"Ever since I got a fever a couple of days ago, it just hasn’t gotten better, and my condition keeps worsening. I have no idea what’s going on. I’ve already taken some medicine, but it just doesn’t seem to help."
After she said this, Liu Zheng took a serious look at her and found that her symptoms didn’t seem like just a simple fever—there were other signs as well.
This really made him feel a bit strange.
It felt like something wasn’t quite right.
But at the moment, he was unclear about what exactly was amiss.
Facing such a situation, his mood was very perplexed; he had no idea what was happening.
But no matter what, he wouldn’t do nothing. He was seriously examining her now.
Although he didn’t know what exactly had been wrong from the start, now he could at least prescribe her some medicine to alleviate the pain in her body a bit.
"Take these medicines home and make sure to take them," he said.
"If there’s any problem, come back and see me."
The old lady hadn’t expected Liu Zheng to prescribe medicine so quickly, and she was extremely surprised by this.
At this moment, she naturally felt amazed.
From the start, she had thought that no matter how she begged Liu Zheng or how much she acted, he would never deign to see her.
They had indeed had some unpleasant issues before, and he could have completely ignored her or been indifferent to her plight.
But no matter what, she had managed to succeed, and she couldn’t afford to think too much about it—after all, this was the outcome she had been aiming for.
So she quickly put on a very grateful expression and immediately began to speak.
"Ah, it seems you’re actually quite kind, young man. There have been many misunderstandings before, but no matter what, I’m very thankful now. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t know what to do," she said.
"I admit I, this old lady, was at fault. I will certainly take the medicine properly when I get back."
After she uttered these words, Liu Zheng just lightly shook his head.
After all, a life was at stake.
Yet the current state of the old lady did seem very strange to him.
Was she the same old lady he had encountered before?
It genuinely felt like something had changed.
But as for what exactly had changed, he couldn’t quite put his finger on it.
At this moment, he did indeed feel a bit at a loss.
But things had already happened, and he couldn’t fuss over them too much. So he nodded, allowing her to leave.
But unexpectedly, just at this moment,
the old lady immediately spoke up again.
"I’m in such discomfort right now, could I perhaps take one dose of the medicine immediately?" she asked.
"Do you have any hot water here?"
Faced with such a request, Liu Zheng naturally couldn’t refuse. He poured her a cup of warm water for her to take the medicine.
"Go ahead and take it; after eating, you might feel a bit better," he told her.
She had thought that this would be a very difficult task since Liu Zheng didn’t seem like someone who could be easily deceived.
But she hadn’t anticipated that everything would be done so swiftly.
Even Liu Zheng didn’t seem worried or suspicious at all.
