Chapter 580: Getting angry
She was worried that her mother would be emotional because of this incident. What if something unexpected happened again?
So, after some inner struggle, Nier finally decided to go there in person, so that she could feel more at ease.
Not long after, Nier met the old lady halfway.
"Look, the real boss is here!"
Someone in the crowd shouted, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
"Wow, this is the first time I see an elder apologize to a younger person!" someone exclaimed.
"What qualifications does the old lady have to be an elder?" another person echoed.
"That's right. Apart from being a little older, she's not worthy of you at all!"
"If she doesn't apologize properly and just does it perfunctorily, I'll be the first to disagree!" someone shouted indignantly.
"That's right, she has to get through us first, otherwise she'll be whipped!"
Everyone was talking at once and made way for the two of them.
The old lady stood in the middle of the crowd, looking a little uneasy.
She hesitated for a moment, but finally stepped forward.
Walking up to Ni'er, the old lady looked a little embarrassed. She stammered, "I...I said bad things about you before. I'm really sorry."
This was really difficult for the old lady, as she had never been so humble to anyone before.
Normally, she used her eloquence to curse people, but now she feels a little overwhelmed when it comes to doing this kind of thing.
"That's all?" one of them grumbled in dissatisfaction. "Hurry up, don't dilly-dally!"
"That's right, don't think you can just get away with it!" another person echoed.
"That's right. Normally you can curse for the whole day without repeating yourself. What's wrong with you today? Why can't you speak all of a sudden?" someone else teased.
"Don't be so pretentious. The sooner you say it, the sooner you'll get it done. I still have a lot of things to do."
The words of others kept echoing in the old lady's ears. She felt her head buzzing and her mood was very upset.
"What happened before was my fault. I shouldn't have said that. Moreover, I said what I thought when I didn't know the real situation, which had a bad impact on you."
The old lady's voice was trembling a little, and there was a hint of helplessness in her words.
Nier listened quietly to the old lady's apology, without much ripples in her heart.
She knew that it was not easy for the old lady to say these words.
After all, she is usually a person who would never bow her head, but now she is actually admitting her mistakes to a junior like me.
"I will definitely not do this again in the future. I'm really sorry."
The old lady's tone became more sincere, and she seemed to have really realized her mistake.
She knew very well that the old lady said this only out of consideration for the county magistrate and the legal advisor.
Don't take the old lady's words seriously; they are just some perfunctory remarks.
However, seeing the old lady apologize to her in front of so many people, Nier felt a little better.
She also knew that the old lady would definitely bear a grudge and might take revenge at any time.
However, Nier was not afraid of the old lady's revenge.
She was well aware of the old lady's methods, which were nothing more than those few, so there was nothing to worry about.
Although it's a little troublesome, it can be handled completely.
This was a first-of-its-kind thing, so it was totally fine to just enjoy her apology.
When the old lady saw that Ni'er didn't say a word, she became more and more anxious. Her face turned red and she wished she could escape from this place immediately.
The gazes of the people around her were like needles piercing her body, making her feel uncomfortable all over.
"Nier hasn't said she forgives you yet, old lady, so just continue apologizing." Someone cheered from the side.
"That's right, it still seems not sincere enough." Another person echoed.
Nier knew that if she forced the old lady to continue apologizing, it would probably not only fail to make her truly realize her mistake.
Instead, it might anger her and cause the old lady to retaliate against herself in advance.
Moreover, given the old lady's personality, she might come up with some new ways to torture herself.
So, instead of doing this, it’s better to let her stop.
The old lady was obviously cornered. She racked her brains and suddenly came up with an idea: "Ni'er, if you won't forgive me, why don't I kneel down for you."
When Nier heard this, she quickly waved her hands, "Grandma, please don't do this!"
There is no reason for elders to kneel down to the younger ones; this will shorten their lifespan!
"So do you forgive me or not?" The old lady looked at Nier pitifully.
Nier looked at the old lady in front of her. Although she was still a little dissatisfied, she finally sighed and said slowly: "Grandma, I forgive you."
In fact, the old lady didn't really want to kneel down. She just wanted to use this method to make Ni'er say that she forgave her.
"Really?" the old lady asked in disbelief.
Nier nodded sincerely and said, "Of course, grandma, I really forgive you."
"That's good, that's good..." the old lady murmured to herself.
At this time, people around also began to talk.
"It's really not easy to get the old lady to do this!"
"This is much lighter than a caning. She's not stupid. Why should she be caned for just a few words?"
The lawyer listened to everyone's discussion and thought to himself.
He felt that Nier's tolerance and magnanimity were worthy of praise, and the old lady's performance was also acceptable.
So he scolded the old lady a few more times, reminding her to be careful about her words and actions in the future, and then turned back to report to the county magistrate.
The old lady was so angry that it felt like a fire was burning in her chest, making her feel uncomfortable all over.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and the angrier she became, the more she wanted to find some way to vent her anger.
Suddenly, she came up with an idea - make a scarecrow, write the birth date of the bastard on it, and then poke it hard with a needle!
However, as soon as this thought came to her mind, the old lady immediately realized that this would not be a good idea.
If someone finds out, it won't be as simple as getting a few whippings.
She didn't want to get herself into more trouble because of a momentary impulse.
After much thought, the old lady decided to give up this dangerous idea.
However, she believed that she could always find other ways to vent her anger.
Back to Ni'er, she came home a little later than usual today, and Yan Zi was waiting for her at home a little anxiously.
