"Let's give her two million. The old lady has had a hard life, and in case she falls or anything, there won't be anyone to take care of her. Let her hire a caretaker."
"But even caregivers can be malicious, what if she encounters elder abuse? She is all alone, what should she do?"
"Why don't we bring her over and take care of her?"
Christian: "..." For some reason, there was always a thought in his mind of giving this old man millions and supporting him.
Christian was still rational, but today, in order to help her, he lost his job and was unable to see the wedding dress in his dream fulfill its purpose.
Give away millions again, and take care of this old man again... He doesn't have so much energy.
Moreover, she is not even his grandmother, so why should he take care of her...
Chloe spent half a day getting ready, but when she got off the car, Christian only gave her a few thousand dollars.
"Grandma, take this little token of appreciation and go buy some fruits. I can only accompany you until here."
Chloe: "..."
After performing for half a day, she only earned a few thousand dollars?!
What can you do with a few thousand dollars!
Chloe instantly lost her composure and couldn't pretend anymore!
She got angry and slapped away the few thousand dollars, scolding, "I thought you were a kind-hearted person, but it turns out you are so narrow-minded! Just a few hundred dollars to dismiss a beggar!"
Christian never expected that the old man would suddenly change his expression. He was completely stunned!
Chloe became more and more angry. If it weren't for Christian constantly interfering, she might have already gotten the money from Lucy by now.
Oh no, it was really a bad thing for her!
"Ugh! Trash!" Chloe stomped hard on Christian's foot and spat at him before storming off, muttering curses.
Christian stood dumbfounded in the same spot after being struck by lightning.
At that moment, he felt extremely clear that he was a fool!
How could this happen?!
The Holy Ghost also sighed, "Oh well, it's understandable that people get a little temperamental as they get older."
"She didn't vent her frustrations at the Murray family, keeping them bottled up inside can also harm her health, so let it be a way for her to let off some steam."
"But the two children of the Murray family were so pitiful..."
Christian stared blankly in the direction where Chloe had disappeared for a long time. Eventually, he sighed and picked up the money from the ground.
There was always a feeling of discomfort deep in his heart, which was suffocating him and making him almost depressed.
***
After Chloe left, Lucy stood at the door and watched for a while. Subconsciously, she made eye contact with her brother.
David pulled both of them in front of him, hesitated for a while, and finally clumsily reached out to touch the heads of the two people.
He had already drafted what he wanted to say in his heart, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn't say anything from his heart's draft. He just said, "Dad is here."
Lucy and Zion suddenly felt relieved.
Susie pinched her fingers and calculated the time.
Lucy's grandmother made such a fuss, just in time for it to be over.
"Hurry up, Uncle Martin and Auntie Jinny, it's time!"
The time of receiving guests and waiting for their arrival was directly skipped.
"Grandma, hurry up! I want to see Uncle Judah's black technology!"
Judah immediately said, "Leave it to me! Today, I will show you my masterpiece..."
Christian and Lucy's grandmother were both driven away, and Alana burst into a series of curses, feeling a bit relieved deep down.
She said energetically, "Let's go!"
The Murray family entered immediately, and the emcee quickly grabbed the microphone in preparation. The ushers also hurriedly arranged the guests to take their seats.
Jinny, however, looked around anxiously and said, "Wait a moment, wait a moment!"
Upon hearing this, Martin immediately asked, "What happened?"
Jinny opened her mouth.
Huck said somewhat speechlessly, "Bro, just now my sister-in-law was shouting that she wanted to kick that old lady out, so of course I had to stop her, but she didn't listen."
"Then my sister-in-law threw the high heels out!"
I regret now.
He kept muttering in his mouth: Her shoes cost millions, her shoes have several diamonds...
Huck searched for a long time, but couldn't find it.
"Where did you throw it?" Martin asked with a helpless smile.
With this interruption, any unpleasantness that Chloe had caused just vanished completely.
Jinny pointed to a small slope on the side with a sense of grievance, "There, if it weren't for him stopping me... I could have thrown accurately!"
Susie said, "Auntie Jinny, then you really lost out. Such expensive shoes being wasted on someone unworthy, the shoes must feel so wronged."
Jinny blinked her eyes, as if it made sense.
She immediately shook her head and said, "No smashing!"
The crowd was both helpless and amused, but what else could they do? One by one, they bent down and leaned in close to the cluster of rose bushes on the low slope, carefully searching for Jinny's high-heeled shoe.
"No time to waste! I'm here!" Susie pulled out Grandpa Turtle from the backpack carried by Zion.
Grandpa Turtle, with a piece of fish in his mouth, asked, "?"
Wait, it swallowed this piece of meat first!
Zoom~
Susie spun it around.
Grandpa Turtle, with meat in his mouth, looked up at the sky and suddenly noticed how beautifully blue it was.
The fish in the mouth tasted slightly sweet.
Just as it came to a stop, Grandpa Turtle swallowed the fish meat in one gulp.
He is also an old man now, so he needs to pay attention to his health. For example, he should not eat while exercising (doing circles).
Without waiting for Susie to speak, everyone saw the direction of the turtle's tail and exclaimed, "This way!"
"Let me look around here..."
"Ah, I found it!"
Michael excitedly held up the high heels and proudly said, "Indeed, it has to be our Susie!"
Alana quickly said, "Stop showing off, hurry up!"
The Murray family entered the venue cheerfully and joyfully.
Even Lucy hurriedly got ready, she was the flower girl after all!
Zion held the turtle and watched from a distance as his older and younger brothers and sisters walked away. His heart still lingered on the disappointment and heartbreak over his own grandmother.
Originally, he also used to think about what would happen to his grandmother when she got old and was alone... Now, he suddenly doesn't want to think about these issues anymore.
In the future, when she grew old, he didn't care about her anymore. Her younger sister said, "Pity the person who is pitiable, for they must have something detestable about them..."
Everyone started to get busy with the wedding preparations, except for Zion who was walking slowly while pondering and recalling what had just happened.
"..."
