Chapter 1199 Resentment
"I-"

Uncle Zhang swallowed what he was about to say, and looked past the people in front of him to the figure supported by the woman.

"Uncle Li?"

"You're out?!"

He exclaimed in surprise.

"Uncle Li, are you hungry?"

Auntie asked with concern, "I cooked porridge."

"Eat as much as you can."

"It's good for warming up your belly."

"Or is there anything else you'd like to eat?"

"You tell me, and I'll do it for you."

My aunt rolled up her sleeves, looking like she was ready to show off her skills.

Uncle Li shook his head.

"I can not eat."

It’s not that I’m not hungry, but that I can’t eat.

The old man's words, which were weak and calm but tinged with resentment, made the air around them stagnate for a moment.

"Haha, I can't eat any more."

Aunt smiled, as if she didn't understand what Uncle Li meant, and advised with concern, "Uncle Li, even if you feel you can't eat, you have to force yourself to eat a little."

"Your body needs nutrients right now."

"Nutritional supplements?"

Uncle Li pulled the corner of his mouth, smiling, "What's the point of supplementing nutrition? We're going to die anyway."

The increasingly sarcastic tone of the old man made the atmosphere, which had been somewhat eased by my aunt's words, become even more stagnant than before.

Everyone glanced at each other inconspicuously.

They knew that Uncle Li blamed Xiao Xiao.

……

"Uncle Li."

Auntie slowly lowered her sleeves and said, "It seems you don't like our food very much."

"Then I won't force you."

"You haven't recovered yet. It's not good to stay outside for too long."

"Look, do you want to sit for a while? Or should we let Lao Zhang take you back to the hospital now?"

……

"Why are you still sitting? You're already being disliked."

Uncle Li said something ambiguous again, and looked at everyone, "People nowadays are not like they used to be. They don't have any compassion at all."

"Just watch someone die without helping him."

"They all have a cold heart."

Uncle Li spoke word by word, his cheeks twitching slightly.

He had been in the house for a long time before.

In fact, I was also feeling angry.

He still held out a glimmer of hope, thinking that the young man would succumb to his persistence and agree to his request.

He thought that the Zhang family would help him persuade the young man after knowing the whole story.

After all, he and the Zhang family have known each other for many years.

……

Uncle Li was listening carefully to the noise outside the door.

He was very satisfied with his wife's performance.

However, until the footsteps of leaving were heard outside the door, he did not hear the response he wanted to hear.

……

Uncle Li now even dislikes the Zhang family.

He didn't understand why they didn't stand on his side and persuade the young man?

He has nothing to do with young people and cannot force them to do anything.

However, since this young man appeared in the Zhang family, then this young man must be related to the Zhang family.

The Zhang family’s words are definitely much more useful than his.

Young people would reject him, but they would not necessarily reject the Zhang family.

If the Zhang family spoke up, he thought, the young man would eventually agree.

……

However, to his surprise, the Zhang family did not even have the slightest intention of asking for mercy for him? !

And you still say he is ungrateful?
It's just a turtle.

Which is more important, a turtle's life or his life?

Is this a question that requires hesitation?
Isn’t the answer obvious?
Why are these people so weird?
In their eyes, is a turtle more important than him?

Won't……

"You want to keep the sacred turtle for yourselves?!" Uncle Li blurted out the guess that suddenly flashed through his mind.

There was a look of realization on his face.

"No wonder... No wonder you keep rejecting me, no wonder you don't speak up for me..."

"No wonder..."

"You would rather watch me die!"

……

The old man's astonishing speech stunned everyone.

"Uncle Li, what nonsense are you talking about?!"

Uncle Zhang spoke with a hint of suppressed anger, his face as dark as water.

"Ah!"

The smile on my aunt's face faded, and her words became sharper, "Uncle Li, you have to be responsible for what you say."

"Xiao Xiao rejected you just because he didn't want to help you be ungrateful."

"You can attack your savior, but Xiao Xiao is not the kind of person who can help the evildoer."

"Besides, Xiao Xiao said that the meat of the divine turtle is useless for your illness."

"Instead of getting stuck here, you should go back to the hospital and cooperate with the treatment."

"Maybe there will be a miracle."

Seeing that Mr. Li was old and would not live long, they all understood and were willing to sympathize with his feelings.

No one wants to bother with such a patient.

However, this does not mean that they can allow Uncle Li to throw all the dirty water on them.

If what Uncle Li said got out, wouldn't they be criticized?
……

"you-"

Uncle Li was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He pointed at my aunt, but quickly put his hand down because he was too weak.

……

"What era is it now? Do you still believe in these things?"

My aunt seemed to have not noticed Uncle Li’s anger at all, and her face was filled with disbelief.

Then she waved her hand, "Of course, if you want to believe it, then believe it. We don't have much to say to you."

“But we don’t believe it.”

Auntie smiled and said, "So, don't impose your ideas on us."

"We all believe in the power of science."

"I don't believe in the divine turtle, and I have no interest in it."

"Besides, a divine turtle that can save people and has good intentions towards humans-"

"I think that any human with a conscience would not harm it, right?"

……

Aunt's super fighting ability made Zhang Bo and others who wanted to help shut their mouths silently.

A look of amazement.

Looking at Uncle Li's purple face, Zhang Bo and his companions felt relieved.

It’s not that they don’t respect the elderly, but they don’t have a good temper towards those elderly people who take advantage of their age and push for more.

……

"you-"

Uncle Li uttered the word again tremblingly.

The voice was shaking.

That's angry.

"well!"

Uncle Li praised him several times, "The daughter-in-law of the Zhang family is really eloquent."

"Sharp-tongued!"

"Xiao Zhang."

He looked at Uncle Zhang and said earnestly, "Marry a virtuous wife."

"Your daughter-in-law has no manners at all."

"What's the difference between what you did just now and a shrew scolding you in the street?"

Uncle Zhang’s face immediately turned dark.

Zhang Bo's face was almost as dark as Uncle Zhang's.

Xiao Xiao and the others also looked very unhappy.

My aunt reached out to stop Uncle Zhang who was about to speak.

She looked at Uncle Li, and was surprisingly calm. "Oh, Uncle Li, you are ignorant, aren't you?"

"What I just did is called a shrew scolding in the street?"

"Don't be so joking."
