139 Annoying Girl
That child looked very bold. Granny Lin was afraid that the girl would really tear down the door if she answered too late, so she said loudly, “No need!”
Jian Qingqing listened to Granny Lin’s hoarse voice and thought that she could make some tea to moisten her throat.
She pretended not to hear Granny Lin’s words and continued to shout loudly, “Are you going to open the door? If you don’t open it, I’ll tear it down!”
As she spoke, she even shook the door with her hand. The door of the thatched cottage was not very sturdy. Moreover, this thatched cottage had been in disrepair for a long time. The moment she shook the door, the broken grass would rustle and fall down.
!!
She was really afraid that she would knock the door down. Granny Lin had no choice but to go over and open the door. With a straight face, she said, “I said I don’t need it. Don’t you understand human language? Hmph.”
Jian Qingqing was still unmoved. She giggled and said, “I’ve prepared a meal for you. It’s vegetarian and delicious. You should eat it while it’s hot. If you don’t eat it, I’ll stay here tonight.”
“Up to you.” After saying that, Granny Lin slammed the door again.
Jian Qingqing was not discouraged at all, she nagged from outside, “Granny Lin, how do you usually eat? There’s no place to cook here, and you don’t have any land. I’ve never seen you go out to buy anything, so what do you eat? Granny Lin…”
The constant chatter outside annoyed Granny Lin. Seeing that Jian Qingqing did not want to give up, she could only open the door again and said unhappily, “Give it to me!”
Afraid that she would close the door again, Jian Qingqing quickly handed the food box to her.
After Granny Lin took the food box, she closed the door again and said, “Don’t come back again.”
Jian Qingqing immediately kicked her nose and giggled, “Goodbye, Granny! I’ll bring you food tomorrow and take back the food box!”
After saying that, she ran away.
After Jian Qingqing left, the thatched cottage gradually returned to peace, as if the lively noise just now was just a dream.
Granny Lin placed the food box on the table and continued to kneel on the futon while reciting the scriptures. Her face returned to its usual deathly stillness.
However, that night, her heart could not calm down no matter how hard she tried. Jian Qingqing’s noisy voice kept flashing in her mind. She opened her eyes, sighed, and muttered helplessly, “What an annoying girl.”
As she said this, there was a faint trace of gentleness on her terrifying face.
Granny Lin shifted her gaze to the food box on the table. She thought absentmindedly about Jian Qingqing’s words. What had she eaten all these years?
All these years, in order to atone for her sins and repent, she had never eaten hot food. She ate wild vegetables raw and drank cold water. It was as if her sins would be lighter this way.
She knew that she was deceiving herself, but so what? Her Heart was dead, and she did not have the mood to do anything else.
What was to eat but food? It was good that she could hang on to her life to avenge her clansmen. She would wait for her revenge to come, and then apologize to her clansmen when she reached the underworld.
Thinking of those past events, her head began to hurt again. She knew that thinking about those things would give her a headache, but she still thought about it day after day as if she was addicted. It was for repentance, and also to deepen her hatred towards her enemies.
Granny Lin groaned in pain. Her entire body fell to the ground. The pain only subsided after two hours. By then, the sky had completely darkened, and the incense on the offering table had already burned out.
She stumbled and wanted to get a new incense to light it, but she did not expect to bump into the table. The food box on the table fell out, and all the food inside fell to the ground.
She lit the candle and lit the incense again. She squatted on the ground and picked up the food with the dim light. After thinking for a while, she ate it.
