Chapter 59: The Sick Old Woman

The few of them are used to dealing with all kinds of people in the black market, so they naturally know what tone to use when dealing with what kind of people. They are used to talking about people and talking about ghosts.

You could tell by his face that this old man was not someone to be trifled with. The older man calmed down a bit and was polite, and pulled the young man to ask him to pay attention and stop looking around.

The older man was obviously more experienced and spoke more tactfully. With a smile on his lips, he asked in a pleasant manner: "Sir, excuse me, our family just got a Tou'er. Our brothers chased the Tou'er to this place and disappeared.

I was wondering if the thief was hiding in someone else’s house nearby, so I came over to ask the uncle if he saw any sneaky people?”

Then he added: "If the thief accidentally enters someone's house, he might steal something else! So if you have any clues, we can catch the thief together."

Another young man interjected: "That thief doesn't look tall. He's wearing gray clothes, and he's also carrying a backpack!"

"Ahem, that is indeed quite unsafe, but the old man was in the yard just now and didn't see any strange people." The old man looked at the shrewd middle-aged man and replied with an upright face.

Suddenly there was a violent coughing sound in the room. The old man felt anxious and worried about his wife's health, so he showed an impatient expression on his face and said, "Go and search elsewhere!"

When the two people at the door saw this, they didn't dare to disturb them. They said "Sorry to bother you" in a good voice and left.

When the old man saw the two people leaving, he went directly to the opposite yard to inquire. Thinking about the cough just now, he immediately closed the door and quickly returned to the house.

In the main room, as soon as Jiang Qingwan entered the door, she saw a very sick old woman lying in a corner of the main room. When she saw that the old woman's face was sallow and her lips were purple, she knew that she must be seriously ill.

When the old lady saw a strangely dressed little girl coming in, she smiled kindly and asked her to find a chair and sit down.

She heard the old man's hint just now, that this girl should be in some trouble.

After looking at the girl's height, she found that the girl was not very old, probably about the same age as her grandson. She smiled and wanted to get up and pour some water for the girl, but she was too heavy and didn't have the strength to get up, so she had to apologize and let Jiang Qingwan go to the table by herself.

Pour some water into the iron kettle on the table and drink it.

Jiang Qingwan was already a little embarrassed to break into someone else's yard, but now she entered the house again. She was still dressed as if she was going to the black market. She was a little embarrassed. She smiled and said hello to the old lady, and then politely rejected the old lady's kindness.

The old woman saw the little girl looking outside from time to time, thinking that she should be worried about the situation outside, and comforted her with a smile: "Little girl, don't worry, my old man can definitely deal with the people outside, and he won't let them in, even if

Once you come in, you can hide in the utility room and no one will notice."

Perhaps because she spoke in a hurry, the old lady felt a little tight in the chest and short of breath. After finishing speaking, she started coughing non-stop.

Most of Jiang Qingwan's thoughts were focused on the situation outside. She turned around and saw that the old woman's face was red due to coughing, as if she was about to cough out her lungs.

Seeing that the old woman was so uncomfortable, Jiang Qingwan walked to the table where the old woman had just asked her to pour water, picked up an enamel cup and poured some hot water from a thermos bottle. She also saw a printed porcelain teapot next to it, weighed it with her hands and found that it was just right.

Some of it was boiled when it was cold, so I poured some and mixed it into the cup to make the water temperature suitable.

Then he walked to the old woman's bedside with the cup in hand, bent down and helped the old woman up, gently stroked the old woman's back with one hand to calm her down, and handed the enamel cup to the old woman's mouth with the other hand, and said softly: "Mother-in-law,
