Chapter 142： in a hurry

Chapter 142 Anxiety

Zhang Yunniang glanced at her and said, "Sister, I don't need to trouble you with this little thing. I'll just wash her. Please go and boil a bucket of water and give it to Master Sun later."

Zhang Yunniang also handed the old woman three copper coins very well.

The old woman looked at the three copper coins and thought of the one tael of silver promised by Member Li. She opened her mouth and was about to say something, when suddenly her vision went dark and she fell to one side uncontrollably.

"Old sister? Old sister?" Zhang Yunniang shouted hurriedly.

Gu Yan stepped forward in three steps and helped the old woman up.

Even though the old woman was unconscious, she still stretched out her hand and said to Zhang Yunniang: "Let me...let me serve...little lady..."

Zhang Yuniang didn't think much when she heard this. She just thought that the old woman was only thinking about working. She couldn't help but murmur that the rules of this wealthy family are really good, and that such an old woman is still so diligent.

"Old sister, please sit down for a while and calm down." Zhang Yunniang comforted her and helped her sit down on a chair beside her.

The old woman was still thinking about helping Niu Niu take a bath, but just when she wanted to move, she found that she couldn't exert any strength in her body, so she could only watch helplessly as Zhang Yunniang pulled Niu Niu into the cubicle.

The old woman was outside listening to the sound of bathing water in the house. She tried to rush in several times, but just as she started to move, her whole body fell to the ground uncontrollably.

There was a "boom" sound.

Her forehead hit the ground hard, and Gu Zhao and Gu Yan beside her felt pain when they heard the voice.

In the sight of the two children, the old woman's forehead swelled up to the size of a baby's fist in just a few breaths, which looked very scary.

Gu Yan wanted to help her, but the old woman's body was as heavy as a mountain. He tried his best to help her sit on the ground.

"Please wait for a while. When my mother finishes taking a bath for my sister, she will call for someone to help you back." Gu Yan said.

The young man's politeness and thoughtfulness turned out to be nice in the eyes of the old woman. She took the initiative and said, "Young master, help me in. I want to take care of your sister's bathing."

Gu Yan sighed and said, "Why are you doing this? You have become like this, and you still think about it..."

Gu Yan said, his eyes suddenly became alert.

She was just waiting for a bath, but the old woman's behavior was too abnormal, as if she had some ulterior motive.

After Gu Yan thought for a moment, he asked: "Mother-in-law, you are thinking of going in to help. Does the master have any special instructions? Don't worry, even if the master asks, we will put in a good word for you."

After the old woman hit a big bump, her head became even more dizzy. When she heard Gu Yan's voice, she felt dazed, as if she was in some kind of dream.

People in dreams are not very defensive about everything.

"I...I have to go into the house...to see the birthmark..." the old woman said stumblingly.

Gu Yan's eyes instantly became sharp.

Niuniu came to the house last year, and he still remembered the turmoil at home that day.

After seeing the birthmark on Niu Niu's arm, her grandma decided to adopt Niu Niu against all objections.

Although he didn't know why the old woman wanted to see the birthmark, Gu Yan instinctively felt that he couldn't let her get her wish so easily.

He suppressed his displeasure and asked the old woman, "Mother-in-law, why do you need to see the birthmark?"

The old woman was confused and still undefended: "Master... what I ordered... after seeing it... give me a couple of silver..."

Gu Yan's fists clenched instantly.

"Why does he care about this kind of thing?" Gu Yan continued to ask.

The old woman said: "I... how do I know about the master's family affairs..." Most of the people who care about Niuniu's birthmark have something to do with her life experience.

Gu Yan couldn't help but wonder, could Niu Niu be a lost child of the Li family? It was just that he looked around at the eye-catching luxurious furnishings that obviously did not match those of a country house, as well as the large blue-tiled courtyard.

The Li family is obviously not short of money, so why did they lose Niuniu? I haven't seen them looking for them all these years?

Perhaps because he didn't want his sister to leave the Gu family, it was difficult for Gu Yan to speculate on the Li family with good intentions.

He could still hear the sound of water in the room, accompanied by the laughter of the mother and daughter talking in the back room.

He had long noticed the old woman's abnormal state, and quickly made a decision, whispering in the old woman's ear: "The little lady of the Gu family has no birthmarks on her body, no birthmarks..."

He didn't know if such a hint would have any effect. He still didn't know what was going on with the Li family, so he couldn't let his sister get involved randomly.

Seeing that the old woman couldn't ask any more questions, Gu Yan simply didn't bother to care about her, got up and walked to the table nearby.

After the old woman left him, she almost hit the ground sideways at the speed of reincarnation.

There was another loud "boom".

Gu Zhao wanted to step forward to help others, but was held back by Gu Yan.

When his eldest brother was questioning him just now, Gu Zhao didn't eavesdrop. Instead, he took out the cricket hidden in his purse and played with it for a while. He didn't pay attention to the conversation between the two at all. At this time, he couldn't help but ask: "Brother. , won’t we help?”

Gu Yan shook his head and said, "We can't keep staring at her, and if we help her, she will fall to the ground again. We might as well just ignore her."

Gu Zhao thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "That's right, nothing will happen if you lie down on the ground."

The old woman was really lying peacefully on the ground. She felt like countless scenes flashed before her eyes like a revolving lantern, as if she had experienced a lifetime in a short period of time.

After Zhang Yunniang helped Niu Niu take a bath, she led the little girl to open the door. She was startled when she saw someone lying on the ground. After seeing clearly, she immediately looked at Gu Yan with questioning eyes.

"After I helped her up, she fell to the ground. She might as well lie down." Gu Yan said casually.

Her eldest son has always been a well-behaved and sensible child. Zhang Yunniang didn't think much after hearing this, but stepped over the old woman.

"You lie down first, and I'll call someone to help you." After Zhang Yunniang said this, she ran to the door of the yard and called for someone.

However, the other woman who was originally responsible for serving in the guest house ran away without knowing where she was.

When Zhang Yunniang turned around, she saw that the old woman who had been lying on the ground as if dead suddenly sat up and seemed not as weak as before.

The old woman asked: "Did I just take care of the little lady to take a bath?"

Just as Zhang Yunniang was about to reply, Gu Yan said first, "Yes, you just helped my sister take a bath."

The old woman's face was filled with joy. She thought she had just dreamed, but she didn't expect it to be true. However, she couldn't figure out why her head hurt so much.

She kept one tael of silver in her mind, struggled to get up, and stumbled towards the main courtyard without even taking the three coins.

Zhang Yuniang looked at her back and felt it was inappropriate, so she couldn't help shouting: "Sister, please walk slower!"

As soon as Zhang Yunniang finished speaking, the old woman stumbled with her left foot and right foot, causing her to fall to pieces. Zhang Yunniang was so frightened that her heart was lifted.

The old woman had a big cut on her forehead, but she didn't take it seriously. She got up, shook her body and continued running towards the main courtyard.

"This woman, why don't you want the bucket of hot water?" Zhang Yunniang muttered in a low voice.

Gu Yan naturally understood why the old woman was anxious. He glanced at Gu Zhao and Niu Niu, ordered them to continue writing big characters, and then dragged Zhang Yunniang into the inner room.

The door to the inner room was open. Gu Yan found a position where he could see Niuniu and Gu Zhao outside. He lowered his voice and said to his mother, "Mom, Yuan Wai Li may be my sister's biological father."
