455: Sick Aunt Lin

Aunt Lin sat up, and hearing that the girl in front of her was Xiao Xiao, her eyes widened.

"You wouldn't be...?"

Xiao Xiao smiled: "Didn't you say she was over thirty? Do I look like I'm over thirty?"

Aunt Lin shook her head, somewhat enlightened, and said: "That's true, the eldest son took the whole family out to play early in the morning and hasn't come back yet. Girl, if there's nothing else, just sit here for a while and chat with me."

Xiao Xiao nodded slightly, pulled over a small stool, and sat beside Aunt Lin's lounge chair. Looking at the children playing nearby, such a leisurely life was truly comfortable; this old woman certainly knew how to enjoy herself.

"Grandma. Are those your grandchildren?"

Aunt Lin heard Xiao Xiao's question and said with a smile: "Yes, look how happy they are." As Aunt Lin spoke, a hint of sadness appeared in her eyes.

Xiao Xiao noticed that Aunt Lin's mood was a bit off, and immediately activated her detection ability. It wasn't a big deal not to investigate, but once she did, she found that this old woman was riddled with illnesses, and they were chronic elderly diseases.

Noticing Aunt Lin's emotional changes and physical anomalies, Xiao Xiao's heart stirred slightly.

"Grandma, are these your properties?"

"When I die, these will be my son's." Aunt Lin shifted her body, her face becoming pained.

Ground medical care was free, so why didn't Aunt Lin go for treatment? Her illnesses were all curable.

Just then, a hovering transport vehicle floated over from the city direction and slowly descended. A man in his thirties jumped out of the vehicle.

The newcomer was Lin Hao, Aunt Lin's adopted eldest son. He was tall and strong, but his face was full of coarse flesh, giving him a fierce look. Seeing a girl sitting beside Aunt Lin, he immediately frowned.

"Old woman, you didn't even tell me a client came?"

Xiao Xiao said: "No, I'm not a client, I just came out for a walk."

Lin Hao glanced at Xiao Xiao, then turned to Aunt Lin, placing a bag of pre-prepared food on the small table outside the house: "Moss, Moss."

At this moment, a nanny robot walked out of the white house. This robot was very old, probably over ten years old. It walked over and respectfully said: "Master, what are your orders?"

"Take this and heat it up, then feed it to the old lady later," Lin Hao said.

The robot nodded, took the pre-prepared food, and walked into the house. At this point, Lin Hao turned his head back, looking at Xiao Xiao with a wary expression and saying: "Little girl, if you're not selling saplings, don't wander around here."

These words were clearly meant to drive her away. Aunt Lin hesitated to speak, but looked at her son with some fear. After a moment of hesitation, she still did not open her mouth to stop him.

Xiao Xiao somewhat understood what was going on. This guy actually fed his mother pre-prepared food. Moreover, from his address and tone, there was not a trace of respect.

"You feed your mother this?" Xiao Xiao asked.

"What's it to you?" Lin Hao said unhappily.

Then, he turned around and said to the robots at the sapling base: "Numbers One, Two, Three, load the goods. Finish loading in one hour. The order has already been shared to the server."

Aunt Lin, however, reached out and grabbed Xiao Xiao's hand.

"Girl, please leave. My son has a bad temper." Aunt Lin's eyes were full of forbearance, and even fear of her own son.

Xiao Xiao's hand was tightly gripped by Aunt Lin. She could feel the old woman's trembling and fear. This stirred a sense of injustice in her heart; she didn't understand why a mother would be so afraid of her own son.

Lin Hao looked at Xiao Xiao, his tone revealing impatience: "Still not leaving? Do you want to steal our saplings?"

Even though Xiao Xiao had a good temper, being spoken to like this, she couldn't tolerate it. She stood up and said: "Steal saplings? Do I look like a thief?"

"Who knows? You might look presentable, but you could still be a thief."

"Holy crap!" Xiao Xiao couldn't help but curse. She took three steps in two and went forward to slap Lin Hao. She didn't use any abilities, but her slap was not something an ordinary person could withstand.

This slap directly knocked Lin Hao to the ground. In an instant, his cheek swelled up. Xiao Xiao had held back her strength, otherwise, Lin Hao's head could have been directly slapped off by her.

Lin Hao was dizzy from Xiao Xiao's sudden slap, lying on the ground for a long time before he recovered. He clutched his swollen and painful cheek, glaring angrily at Xiao Xiao, seemingly wanting to get up and retaliate.

But this girl's strength was so terrifying, she was probably an Ability User. Lin Hao didn't dare to act rashly for a moment. After Space City banned abilities, Superpower Potion and Super Serum had stopped production. This meant that over ninety percent of Ability Users were over forty years old.

Even young Ability Users held important positions and would never be wandering around on the ground.

Xiao Xiao looked at him coldly and said: "Unfilial descendant, your mother is full of illnesses, and you still feed her pre-prepared food. Ground medical care is free; you have time to transport saplings, but no time to take your mother to the hospital for a check-up?"

Aunt Lin saw this scene and was terrified, wanting to step forward to dissuade them, but she dared not approach. She could only stand helplessly in place, mumbling: "Girl, you should leave quickly, my son he..."

"Don't speak, Grandma. He treats you like this, why don't you report him?" Xiao Xiao interrupted Aunt Lin.

Lin Hao's face changed repeatedly when he was exposed. Where did this woman come from, and how did she know his mother had chronic illnesses?

"Old woman, you actually complained to an outsider, I..." Lin Hao, enraged and humiliated, rushed towards his old mother.

Bang!

Xiao Xiao raised her leg and kicked Lin Hao flying. He fell heavily to the ground, grimacing in pain, unable to get up for a moment.

"What, you still want to lay hands on your mother?"

Lin Hao clutched his aching body, struggling to stand up.

"Who are you? Meddling in others' business. This is our family matter, what business is it of yours?" A hint of fear was in Lin Hao's eyes. He wasn't stupid; the other party dared to directly strike him, so her background was probably not small.

Xiao Xiao, on the other hand, directly used a consciousness link to remotely notify Bai Yiming, asking him to send people from the Bureau of Public Security. Lin Hao's elder abuse would definitely not go unpunished.

"I've already called the police!" Xiao Xiao said coldly.

At this moment, Aunt Lin panicked and quickly said: "No, no, girl, you misunderstood. My son treats me very well; he didn't abuse me."

Aunt Lin didn't want her child to be sent in, so she quickly tried to cover it up. If her son was sent in, what would happen to her grandchildren, and what would happen to her sapling base? Although her son wasn't good to her, at least he would give her something to eat.
