Chapter 854 Took the Wrong Medicine
Hearing this, Auntie Lan panicked and quickly realized that Zhouzhou had caught her expression. But she soon composed herself and smiled, "Little girl, don't be naughty; don't make jokes that aren't funny." Her implication was clear: she was just speaking nonsense.
Upon hearing this, both Grandma Qin and Grandpa Qin's expressions darkened simultaneously. Lan He also noticed it right away. The two families had a good relationship, and he knew the Qin elders had a fondness for little girls. Now that they finally had one, especially such a cute one, it was easy to understand their affection. Moreover, the Qin family was protective.
Lan He didn't like Auntie Lan's words. Just as he was about to speak, Lan Tian beat him to it.
He raised his chin, appearing somewhat arrogant. "Who do you think you are? Zhouzhou being naughty? I think she's much more sensible than you! Pick up the paper from the ground and piece it together. Not a single piece can be missing."
His words left no room for Auntie Lan to save face, making her expression even worse. The medical representative noticed the situation becoming awkward and tried to mediate. But unexpectedly, Auntie Lan turned her anger towards him. "Stop pretending to be a good person here! It's all your doing! Just wait, when my brother wakes up, let's see how he deals with you!"
After saying this, she turned and ran off.
This shocked everyone.
Grandma Qin asked, "Who was that? Why does it seem like your dad is quite protective of her?"
Lan He frowned as well. Lan Tian snorted and directly replied, "Some distant relative who came around after hearing my father was doing well. Now that my father is successful, she's stuck to us like glue."
"That old man likes to save face, pretending to be generous. I heard she didn't have anywhere to stay, so he let her live in the house. He knows she's unemployed, so he even hired her as a caregiver, paying her tens of thousands a month."
"Wow!" Zhouzhou's mouth gaped open in surprise as she raised her chubby little hand. "I can do it! Brother, let me be your family's caregiver!"
Her words instantly made everyone laugh. Grandma Qin couldn't help but chuckle, playfully poking Zhouzhou's smooth forehead. "You want to be a caregiver? What can you do? Can you cook?"
Zhouzhou was about to say she could learn, but Grandma Qin interrupted, "I'm just afraid you'll eat all the ingredients before cooking them!"
Zhouzhou: "..."
Grandma was laughing at her!@@@@
Zhouzhou's cheeks turned red as she buried her face into Qin Lie's side. She felt too embarrassed to face anyone.
Seeing his little girl like this, Qin Lie's eyes softened with a smile. Lan He and Lan Tian couldn't hold back their laughter either; the discomfort from Auntie Lan's earlier outburst had dissipated.
After a moment, Qin Lie bent down to pick up Zhouzhou. She covered her face, peeking through her fingers at the others, only to see them still laughing. She quickly buried her face deeper into Qin Lie's neck, deciding she wouldn't show her face today.
Such a little kid, yet she cared about her pride.
Everyone was laughing heartily until Qin Lie shot them a look, signaling them to calm down. Only then did they suppress their laughter.
"What?"
Upon hearing these words, both brothers' pupils dilated instantly, and their expressions darkened as they turned to look at the medical representative.
The medical representative was startled, his legs trembling. "I swear, my medicine is fine!"
He was at a loss, his forehead dripping with sweat, feeling utterly defeated. He had come to ask for their help, yet now Zhouzhou's words had thrown him into a predicament!
In an instant, despair filled his eyes.
Seeing this, Zhouzhou quickly added, "I didn't say that this uncle harmed him!"
With that, she walked over to the medical representative and asked, "Uncle, do you still have any of the medicine you gave Grandpa?"
The medical representative was already in shock. Hearing this, he numbly nodded and pulled out a pill from his pocket.
Zhouzhou took it, pinched it between her little chubby fingers, and it crumbled into dust.
She leaned in to smell it and even took a small taste.
Grandma Qin was shocked, her hands tightening, fearing the little girl might ingest something bad.
But Zhouzhou wasn't foolish; she didn't swallow it. Instead, she named a few medicinal ingredients, asking the medical representative if those were in the medicine.
When the medical representative heard this, his eyes flickered, finally regaining his wits.
He hurriedly picked up the inspection report from the floor, compared it, and was left astounded.
"Yes, that's correct!"
He was absolutely certain that this little girl had never seen this report before.
The report had always been in his hands, and since it was face down, she couldn't see it.
Even if Auntie Lan had torn it up and thrown it on the floor, it was still face down.
Thus, there could only be one explanation.
This little girl was truly remarkable!
