”Just now, the resident committee called and said that Grandma Li's disease is acting up again. They told us to go take a look.”

An Xin said as she placed the medicine box on Li Su's shoulder and locked the clinic's door.

Granny Li, Li Su An once told her that her wife passed away a long time ago, leaving her only son to fend for themselves. However, this son was absent from home all year round, leaving the old man with no one to take care of him.

Grandma Li's house was not very far away. It was a very old tube tower, and all the young people except for some old people who were nostalgic moved away.

The room next to Grandma Li's house on the second floor smelled of pungent sandalwood.

Li Su coughed and looked around. The room was not big and the arrangement was simple. As soon as he entered, he saw a statue of Guan Yin Bodhisattva on the table. There was a worn praying mat under the table. It seemed that people often knelt down and prayed on it. There was an incense burner in front of the praying mat, densely packed with sandalwood incense.

The room was filled with the fragrance of sandalwood, causing Li Su to choke with tears.

Just as Li Su walked to the window and was about to open it, a weak voice stopped her, ”Don't open it.”

Looking towards the source of the voice, he saw a frail old lady lying on a dilapidated wooden bed.

”Grandma Li, where are all the people from the Residential Committee? Why are you alone? ” An Xin walked up to the old lady and asked.

”I've chased them away, they're in the way.” Grandma Li said.

”Then let me show you.” An Xin said as she took her stethoscope.

At the same time, the diagnosis system was activated in Li Su's mind.

[Diagnosis System activated, Diagnosing...]

[Name of patient, Li Zhao; Disease of patient, deterioration of respiratory system, deterioration of strength; Length of illness, 13 years; Cause of disease, long-term inhalation of dust]

The moment her diagnosis was revealed, Li Su was shocked. This old lady had locked herself in a room like this. It would be strange if she didn't get sick.

An Xin's diagnosis was nearing its end. ”Grandma Li, your body is fine. I'll prescribe some medicine for you. Take it. I'll come see you in a few days.”

”Thank you, daughter.” Grandma Li said.

”However, I still advise you to cut down on the incense, go out more, take a breath of fresh air, and always open the windows to let in some fresh air.” An Xin said while taking the medicine.

”Thank you, daughter, for always troubling you.”

”There's no need to be courteous. What's more, aren't I all your daughters?”

”Ai ai.” The old lady wiped the corners of her eyes, ”If my son was half as good as you, I would be satisfied.”

An Xin was in no hurry to leave after seeing the sick man. She washed the old lady's clothes and cleaned the room. She even sent Li Su to buy a lot of fruits. After chatting with the old lady for a while, she left.

”This old lady is very strange, why would she order so much sandalwood incense, even if it's to Buddha, it's not that way.”

On the way back, Li Su said.

”It's not easy for Grandma Li either. She pulled her son up by herself, but if this son doesn't learn well, she won't be able to control him. I heard that she killed someone outside, so the old lady started to pay her respects to the Buddha all day long to apologize for her son. It didn't matter, I don't know, but the old lady's body was getting worse and worse every day. She won't go to the hospital. ”

”The residential committee doesn't care?”

”Why wouldn't I care? But the old lady hates their trouble and never lets them come.”

Saying this, An Xin said to Li Su, ”You have to be nicer to your uncles and aunties in the future, otherwise I won't forgive you.”

”I am the most filial son in the world.”

As she spoke till here, Li Su was in a slightly depressed mood. She hadn't called her mother for a few days, so she didn't know how they were doing.

Once she got back to the clinic, Li Su quickly called her home.

As usual, his mother was still long-winded, especially towards Li Su's single status. She even said that she would ask him to come back in a few days, saying that she had introduced him to someone. Li Su was so shocked that she quickly hung up the phone and wiped the sweat off her forehead.

A person who wanted to carry his grandson was indeed not someone to be fooled.
