Chapter 160: Regret
Jinhua was still moved and said, "Yesterday, thanks to Auntie! Auntie, rest assured, we’ll never tell anyone how strong you are. You saved my mother and Jinshao, you are our great benefactor. Don’t worry, Auntie, from now on, you don’t have to do anything at home, just tell me and Jinpan, and we’ll handle it. You should just focus on resting and taking care of your health, and don’t overexert yourself!"
She quickly finished her speech and swiftly began gathering the bowls and chopsticks to take them to be washed.
Wang Yongzhu didn’t know how Old Granny Zhang had brainwashed Jinhua and the others, but why did it seem to her that in their eyes, she was some kind of porcelain doll that couldn’t be touched? Were they trying to put her on a pedestal?
Sure enough, the following day confirmed Wang Yongzhu’s suspicions.
From the moment she woke up, Jinhua had been by her side, lavishing her with undivided attention. Every time Wang Yongzhu moved, Jinhua would ask, "Auntie, do you want some water?"
Every time she stretched, Jinhua would leap up, "Auntie, are you tired? Would you like me to massage your back?"
Even when Wang Yongzhu wanted to visit the privy, Jinhua would eagerly offer her arm for support, "Auntie, are you heading to the privy? Let me help you, be careful not to slip—"
It was as though she was a paper lantern, delicate enough to be ruined by a mere gust of wind.
Wang Yongzhu was utterly annoyed. No matter what she wanted to do, the girl was always watching her, almost ready to drag her onto the bed to lie down even if she just yawned.
Eventually, just before noon, Wang Laozhu and Wang Yongping returned.
Wang Yongzhu hurriedly instructed Jinhua to fetch some water for the two to wash their faces, as they were covered in sweat.
