The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1284 - 1364: Because I’m About to Die

That day, because it rained around noon, the old lady felt the dampness outside was too much, so she snuggled in her little grandson Wu Wang’s room to coax the child.

The child’s energy is limited, and he needs a nap every day. That day, just after Wu Wang fell asleep, the old lady straightened her back, clutching her fist and pounding her own shoulder and back.

The child was growing, and she mused that soon enough, she wouldn’t be able to hold little Wangwang anymore.

Getting old really doesn’t allow any denial, does it?

Just then, a wave of meat aroma wafted in through the door seam. The old lady, being a foodie, brightened her eyes at the scent.

"Oh, this smells so good!" Her nose twitched as she followed the scent and pushed the door open to go outside.

The corridor under the eaves was made of wood. With a playful turn, she saw the little child who had been a bit of an eyesore to her squatting in the corridor, holding a palm fan, fanning the small stove. On top of the stove was a wire rack, sizzling as the meat was brushed with oil.

The old lady’s mouth watered, and she really wanted to have a bite, but she sternly kept a straight face: "Where are those boys?" she asked, referring to Zhi Chen and the others.

"Zhi Chen and Shu Yu went out to buy herbs for me, Shujun went to Luolan City. As the season is about to change, he needs to help me gather some clothes. Haoming went to buy sugar cakes for me, Yue Ning is asleep, Yixuan also went out. This morning, I lost a bunch of hair while combing, so I’m wishing for a new jade comb."

Except for the recently sleepy Yue Ning with her big belly, did she send everyone else away? She asked each of these people separately, appearing very natural in her demeanor, and when they left, they thought others were still around, someone would be there with her, but little did they know, perhaps her acting was too good lately, everyone was fooled by her.

The old lady frowned slightly.

Dong Huiying took out a bowl of soup from behind, "Here, try this. Speaking of it, I’ve been at Chuixue Manor for so long, yet I’ve never properly thanked you."

The old lady snorted, "I helped Xuanxuan because that child won my favor."

"Yes, Yixuan is a good one, I like him too."

"Hmph!" The old lady saw a cushion next to Dong Huiying; she dragged it over and sat down, then took a sip of the soup. Ah, it was really bright and delicious, this soup was truly good.

"Didn’t expect it, huh?" She glanced at Dong Huiying, thinking this little girl wasn’t without any merits after all.

Dong Huiying smiled, then the roasted meat was ready. She handed a pair of chopsticks to the old lady, and the two started eating. "Actually, I want to ask you for a favor."

"What is it?" The old lady had a look that said she knew Dong Huiying had no good intentions, but as the saying goes, when you take from others, you have to give back, and when you’ve eaten someone’s food, it’s hard to keep up a stern face.

The old lady hummed, "Go ahead, if this old lady’s mood is right, it might not hurt to help you."

Dong Huiying’s lips moved, and the old lady, who was eating meat, froze, her face full of surprise, and then looked at Dong Huiying in disbelief. Dong Huiying spoke a few more words, and the old lady furrowed her brows intensely...

Finally, Dong Huiying said, "This matter, please entrust it to you."

"Why?"

The old lady looked at Dong Huiying with bewilderment. Dong Huiying slowly lowered her eyes, smiling sadly and a bit forlorn, "Because, I’m about to die."
