Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5722 What to say?
"Ah."

The plump old man nodded.

A strange expression appeared on his face.

"Something bad?"

"what."

The plump old man twitched the corner of his mouth.

"How come I didn't see it?"

No one else saw it.

"He was the only one who saw it..."

……

"The young people thought Old Meng was just trying to scam them out of money..."

"Pretend to be mysterious and eccentric..."

"I almost thought that way too."

"Old Meng doesn't even look around? Where can you find those pretentious street vendors anymore, under the bridge or on the roadside..."

"Everyone knows it's fake."

"What kind of fortune teller?"

"They're all fake immortals."

The plump old man shook his head.

……

"But Old Meng denied it."

"for free."

He just wanted to help the man get rid of the bad things.

……

Uh……

Teacher Zou's lips twitched.

"He's such a good person."

……

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the plump old man grinned.

"Isn't it?"

"Old Meng is doing a good deed for free."

"pity."

"They don't need him to do this good deed."

……

"Old Meng rushed over with a fierce and menacing look..."

"It also makes it hard for people to believe he is a good person."

The plump old man gave a wry smile.

……

"...Old Meng deserved to be beaten."

Putting himself in the man's shoes, the plump old man could completely understand his feelings.

In the man's view, he was being harassed by a strange, fierce old man.

No one would give Old Meng a friendly look.

"He really wanted to be a good person..."

The plump old man sighed, "Can't you just talk to people properly?"

……

"Will anyone believe him if he says that?"

Grandpa Zou rolled his eyes.

……

Uh……

The plump old man was stunned.

Yes, that's true.

……

"But if he had spoken nicely..."

Grandpa Zhang frowned, "If the other party is a good person, then considering he's an old man..."

"I might just give him a perfunctory answer."

"So we just went along with what he said."

……

"And then let him get rid of the bad things on himself?"

Grandpa Zou pursed his lips.

"People nowadays are not superstitious..."

"But nobody likes to hear others say that they have bad qualities."

Isn't this a curse?

You deserve to be scolded.

and also……

"How does Old Meng plan to get rid of the bad things?"

Grandpa Zou frowned.

"...Shamanistic ritual?"

"practice?"

"Does Old Meng know how?"

Will it hurt anyone?

"Who wants to be surrounded by an old man performing a shamanic ritual on the street?"

Grandpa Zou scoffed.

……

The plump old man and Grandpa Zhang were speechless.

What Grandpa Zou said...

Both make sense.

....
"At most, they'll just reply to Old Meng with: 'Sorry, I'm in a hurry.'"

Grandpa Zou shook his head.

"Who would actually pay attention to a strange old man?"

……

"Too."

The plump old man gave a wry smile.

No matter how you try to justify it, it's hard to beautify Old Meng's behavior.

……

No one will accept Old Meng's good intentions.

They would just think this old man was really strange, and then stay away from Old Meng.

……

and……

So-called good intentions...

They probably won't acknowledge it either.

……

Who would want this kindness?

To claim for no reason that one has something bad about them...

……

What's on my body...?

I don’t know.

Do I need a strange old man to tell me? ...

"...If only I knew..."

Grandpa Zhang reached out and rubbed his temples.

"I understand why Old Meng became like this."

"He wasn't like this before..."

"when……"

……

"When else could it be?"

Grandpa Zou pursed his lips.

"It's just after Xiao Jun left..."

Xiao Jun is the name of Old Meng's son.

……

Grandpa Zhang remained silent.

He was asking a question he already knew the answer to.

Perhaps he held onto hope.

If there are other reasons, there is still hope for a solution.

For this reason...

That's truly unsolvable.

……

"Old Meng..."

The plump old man hesitated before speaking, "Wouldn't it be better to go to the hospital to get it checked out?"

Perhaps with the doctor's guidance, Old Meng will feel better.

At least I know not to help people drive away bad things for no reason...

Try communicating with them properly first...

If they're unwilling...
Just ignore that person.

Bad things are bad things.

They're happy with it.

……

cough cough.

He was speaking entirely from Old Meng's perspective.

……

"Yes."

Grandpa Zhang nodded.

Since a problem has arisen, we naturally need to find a solution.

Old Meng should definitely go to the hospital to get checked out.

.....
"Then tell him to go to the hospital to get checked out."

Grandpa Zou said.

……

Hey?
The plump old man looked at Lao Zou.

Old Zou was looking at...

It seems to be him.

"me?"

……

Will Old Meng realize that he should go to the hospital to get checked out?

Grandpa Zou gave a slight smirk.

Just like a drunk person might think they're drunk.

Will not.

……

The plump old man was taken aback.

"I have no relation to him whatsoever..."

Are you suggesting that he should come to your door and tell you that you seem to have some mental issues and ask if you should go to the hospital for a checkup?
Don't say the other person won't listen to him...

People will probably think he's crazy, right?
Then he'd really be putting in a lot of effort for nothing...

Why bother?
I went there with good intentions, but ended up getting scolded.

They might even get beaten up.

Old Meng used to never hit people.

It's hard to say for sure now that Old Meng is here.

……

"So are we."

Grandpa Zou shrugged.

Who isn't related to Old Meng?

……

The plump old man: ...

"Then why me?"

Since we're all in the same boat...

They can go together.

……

"Didn't you just see Old Meng yesterday?"

Grandpa Zou spoke with great conviction.

"I think he'll have a deeper impression of you."

"You just helped him, so he might be more receptive to what you say."

"We are already in the past."

……

The plump old man: ...

Grandpa Zou's words...

It's not entirely unreasonable...

……

"...How should I tell him?"

The plump old man looked at Grandpa Zhang and Grandpa Zou.

"I can't just tell him directly..."

"Because of his performance yesterday, I think he might have some mental issues."

"I suggested he go to the hospital to get it checked out."

The plump old man twitched his lips, "...I think he'll think I'm crazy and beat me up..."

……

The chubby old man's question stumped Grandpa Zhang and Grandpa Zou.

Uh……

yes……

How can they persuade Old Meng to willingly go to the hospital for a checkup?
……

Don't say...

The elderly people racked their brains until their heads ached...

I can't think of a reasonable reason.

The main issue is that their relationship with Old Meng was really just that of neighbors.

Neighbors you can greet and exchange a few words with.

Aside from that, they had no further contact.

After Old Meng's wife left, he devoted himself entirely to his children...
