With that said, Charmine held onto the old lady. "Grandma, let's go," she urged.
The aggrieved woman, upon seeing the cash in front of her, instantly forgot about her pain as her eyes lit up.
She quickly picked them all up and looked at them with trembling hands.
She licked her rough hands and started counting.
Everyone looked at Charmine's back, and then at the stack of cash that the woman could not handle with both hands. Their jaws dropped.
Gosh! This was real money!
Was she that wealthy?
They would not be able to earn this much money, even if they worked hard for a few years, yet she took out this much cash so easily?
Where did this mogul come from? She had to have come here on a vacation.
Everyone turned to look at the woman who was grinning from ear to ear on the ground. Feeling their eyes on her, the woman held the banknotes close to her and stood up. "Thank you, everyone. I'll treat you all to a nice meal next time."
She thus quickly went home and shut the door tightly, much to everyone’s fury.
This woman had used them!
When the crowd left, they could not help looking in Charmine's direction.
She was truly a mogul, yet they mistook her as a poor woman.
Charmine helped the elderly lady to get home. Grandma knew Charmine was not that kind of woman, thus she reassured her, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Charmine. The people here are usually very kind, but they'd act like this when they're defensive. Since there's no internet here, they don't know about laws and don't know much."
Charmine pursed her lips and said, "I know."
She did not blame them. They did not see any evidence, so it made sense for them to trust their neighbors.
The woman who played the victim did not represent the entire village. For example, Grandma and Chloe were very kind and friendly. In the afternoon, the old man who helped her pluck some leaves was also very kind. She would not judge the entire village based on that barbaric woman.
Grandma nodded. "Yea. Sorry for the trouble." She then said to Chloe, " Chloe, let's go home. Give Auntie Charmine the things we've prepared." "Hmm?" Charmine frowned. "You don’t have to, Grandma, I don't lack anything."
Grandma insisted, "No way. We don’t have a lot to offer here, and you didn't take a lot of items with you, too. You must need some daily necessities."
With that, the old lady held Chloe's hand and headed home.
Charmine was helpless. "Grandma, really, I don't."
She could ask Kay to bring anything she needed.
However, Grandma did not seem to have heard it. She kept on walking, and there was no way for Charmine to turn down her offer.
Charmine and Chris stood by the door as they waited for both of them.
Following that, she said to Chris, "Dear, go and help them out."
Since there was no way to turn it down, she did not want to feel bad. She would return the favor in the future.
"Alrighty!" Chris chirped happily and went inside.
Grandma prepared a bag full of daily necessities, including detergents, salt, pepper, and everything else. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
After moving them into Charmine’s house, the old lady and Chloe parted with Charmine and Chris.
"Charmine, please don't take what happened today seriously. Rest well, and let me know if you need anything." "Alright, then. Thank you!" said Charmine.
Grandma smiled peacefully and left with Chloe.
Chris chased after them.
