Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5714 The Reason for the Anomaly

Grandpa Zhang and Grandpa Zou smiled wryly.

They knew the woman had misunderstood.

"It's not that we don't want to help you contact them..."

"But..."

The two elderly people sighed.

If it weren't for the special circumstances, they really wouldn't want to bring this up in front of Old Meng.

But there is no way...

Who told Old Meng to hurt someone else's child first?

So why is that?

Why did Old Meng do this?
……

"Old Meng has no family."

Grandpa Zou lowered his voice slightly.

……

Grandpa Zhang pursed his lips.

There was no sound.

……

The woman's mouth was wide open.

The unexpected answer surprised her greatly.

Old man...

"All the family members are gone?"

The woman blurted out, "Wife?"

"Children?"

……

"It's all gone."

Grandpa Zou shook his head.

There was a sigh in his voice.

……

The woman's expression became somewhat complicated.

To be honest…

She wanted to say, what does this have to do with her?

The old man is pitiful.

Isn't her frightened daughter pitiful too?
If it weren't for these two elderly people pulling the old man back in time...

Who knows what will happen to her daughter?
But…..
A hunched and thin old man...

Adding to that his status as a widow and orphan...

It's truly hard not to feel a pang of sadness.

Even without sympathy...

They also couldn't bring themselves to say anything unpleasant.

……

"I would like to know……"

The woman asked, "What does he intend to do to my daughter?"

……

Grandpa Zou and Grandpa Zhang understood the woman's thoughts.

Not to mention women, they were also very curious...

What exactly was Old Meng's purpose in doing this?
What's his purpose?
……

Everything should have a purpose.

Or rather, motivation.

……

Before today, they had never seen or heard of Old Meng's words or actions.

and so……

what happened?
Why did Old Meng do this?
……

Grandpa Zhang and Grandpa Zou looked at Old Meng.

"Old Meng, you..."

"What happened just now?"

"Give us an explanation."

"...You're not that kind of person."

"You scared that child just now."

"do you know?"

……

I wonder if it was those words that moved Old Meng...
Old Meng finally moved.

He moved his arms.

The meaning is self-evident.

Ask Grandpa Zhang and Grandpa Zou to let him go.

……

Grandpa Zhang and Grandpa Zou exchanged a glance.

Then he slowly released his grip on Old Meng's hand.

There were two of them.

They were confident they could keep an eye on Old Meng.

Moreover, the silence that followed Old Meng's initial rush towards the child had misled them...
They never even considered that...

Old Meng will leave.

……

Old Meng suddenly flung their hands away.

Then he turned and strode away.

He didn't run away...

But Grandpa Zhang and Grandpa Zou just stood there, stunned.

……

The woman was the same.

……

Everyone stared blankly as the old man's thin, hunched figure receded into the distance...

……

Until the old man's figure disappeared from sight...

It took everyone a moment to realize what was happening.

"Hey?"

"Are we just going to let him go like that?"

"Yes."

"Why didn't anyone stop him?"

"Dont look at me."

"If anyone should be stopping them, it should be them."

Passersby looked at Grandpa Zhang, Grandpa Zou, and the woman.

……

Grandpa Zhang and Grandpa Zou didn't stop them...

They understand. The two elderly people just said…

They were the same as that old man who seemed to be having a seizure earlier.
To most passersby, the old man who inexplicably tried to attack the little girl was just crazy!

It might be some kind of illness acting up...

……

They are not friends.

They're just neighbors.

……

It's completely understandable that they don't want to get too involved in this matter.

……

The person who should have called the elderly person over the shoulder the most...

The passersby's eyes fell on the woman.

She is the mother of the child who was nearly attacked by the elderly man.

……

Why didn't she call out to the old man?

They were acting so aggressively and menacingly just a moment ago...

The word "咄咄逼人" here simply describes the woman's imposing manner.

It has no negative connotation whatsoever.

If your own child was almost harmed, who would feel that way...?

They would all be just like women, or even more stern and fierce...

……

The woman's face stiffened.

She had the same doubts about herself.

Yes.

What was she doing just now?
How come...

Did we just watch the old guy leave?
……

The old man didn't say anything...

There was no apology to the child.

Just leave like that?
Does he not feel any remorse for scaring the child?
Such a small child...

Fortunately, nothing happened.

If anything happens...

Can the other party afford to take responsibility?
Can they take responsibility?

The other party deserves to die a thousand deaths and still be held responsible...

……

The woman stared silently in the direction the old man had left for a while.

Then her gaze fell on Grandpa Zhang and Grandpa Zou.

……

The two elderly people's hearts skipped a beat.

They looked at the woman.

Won't……

The woman was going to ask them for Old Meng's contact information, right?
……

The woman's expression softened slightly.

A smile appeared on his face.

Her eyebrows and eyes were slightly curved.

"Thank you for earlier."

The woman thanked the two elderly people.

"It's all thanks to you guys for holding that old man back..."

She wouldn't change how she addressed her child until that old man apologized.

"Otherwise, my child..."

The woman paused, then continued, "It's hard to say."

……

After the woman expressed her gratitude, the two elderly people were stunned for a moment.

After hearing what they said next, the two elderly people smiled.

well.

It turns out that the woman they were imitating could still see it.

This way, they wouldn't worry that the woman would take out her dissatisfaction with Old Meng on them.

They were really just helping out of kindness.

……

"You're welcome."

The two elderly people said with a smile.

Looking back, they actually admired themselves for rushing over so quickly.

……

"Niuniu."

The woman gently patted the child's hand that was gripping her clothes.

"Thank the two grandfathers."

"Thank you for helping Niu Niu."

……

"Thank you, grandpa."

The little girl thanked them sweetly.

The little head peeked out from behind its mother.

Very cute.

.......
Grandpa Zhang and Grandpa Zou smiled.

"You're welcome."

When giving the same answer, both elderly people spoke with a slightly veiled tone to the child.

Such a lovely child...

They were increasingly unable to understand Old Meng's previous behavior...

……

"I'd like to ask you something..."

After thanking her, the woman's expression softened slightly.

"Do you know why that old man attacked my daughter?"

……

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the two elderly people shook their heads with wry smiles.

How do they remember...?
Did the woman just ask a similar question?

They couldn't answer.

In this matter...

They didn't actually know much more than the women.

What the woman didn't know, and what she wanted to know...

It's also something they don't know and want to know.

……

Do not you know?

The woman wasn't too surprised by the two elderly people's answer.
