NovelEnglish128 Bitten by Ants
Gu Qingming imitated her grandmother and picked up the clam shell to cut a small handful of chives. Yes, it was quite easy to cut.
No wonder cutting chives became a popular saying online.
Gu Qingming was cutting chives happily. Before long, a large handful of chives was harvested.
Grandma smiled and said, “Darling, the chives are almost done. I’m not cutting them anymore!”
When Gu Qingming heard this, she stopped what she was doing. Then, she looked at her fair hands covered in mud and frowned slightly.
Her hands were too dirty, making her feel slightly uncomfortable as if an ant was biting her.
As soon as she thought about an ant biting her, she felt as if her feet…

“Ah, Grandma, ants… ants…” Gu Qingming’s face was pale as she said in horror.
Grandma took a look and saw ants biting the back of Gu Qingming’s exposed foot.
Well, when Gu Qingming came out with her grandmother, she was wearing sandals.
Grandma squatted down and patted Gu Qingming’s foot gently to get rid of the ants.
However, the place where she was bitten had already turned red and swollen.
Grandma frowned and said, “These ants aren’t poisonous, but it still hurts you get bitten by them. Your feet are relatively tender, so the inflammation is redder and more swollen. Go home, apply some alcohol, and the swelling will subside.”
This was the first time Gu Qingming had been bitten by ants since she was young. She felt like she was still being bitten by them constantly and was abnormally uncomfortable.
Gu Qingming said with a pale face, “Grandma, I… Why do I feel that many ants are biting me?”
Grandma immediately asked worriedly, “How did this happen?”
With that, she checked Gu Qingming’s entire body and shook her head. “No. There aren’t any more ants on you.”
Gu Qingming wanted to cry but had no tears. “How can there be none? I clearly felt many ants.”
Grandma said, “Then let’s hurry home and apply some alcohol on you first. If it’s still like this, we’ll go to the hospital to take a look!”
Gu Qingming did not grow up in the countryside but was raised in a big city. Her skin was soft and tender. If she was bitten by a mosquito, she might get inflamed.
Gu Qingming did not refuse. She nodded and said, “Yes.”
Grandma immediately put the vegetables she had picked into the basket. She had planned to wash these newly cut chives by the river before going home to pick out the yellow and rotten leaves.
However, her granddaughter had been bitten by ants and it looked a little serious. How could she have the mood to wash chives by the river now?
The two of them rushed home. On the way, someone saw Gu Qingming crying and asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGrandma said, “She was bitten by ants! Her foot was red and swollen.”
“Oh, you were bitten by ants!” The villager smiled and said, “Your granddaughter is really delicate. She actually cried when she was bitten by an ant. My grandson is only two or three years old. Even when he was bitten by ants, he didn’t cry!”
Gu Qingming’s heart trembled.
Before she and her grandmother could walk far, the person said, “The people in the city are so delicate. How painful can it be when an ant bites? She actually wants to cry. She’s already an adult, isn’t she embarrassed?! She’s just a maternal granddaughter. What’s there to feel sorry for?”
Gu Qingming was speechless.
Was she being humiliated?
Also, wasn’t a maternal granddaughter a granddaughter?
Moreover, what did it have to do with her whether her grandmother felt sorry for her? She was making sarcastic remarks here.
“If your daughter marries a rich man, you probably dote on your granddaughter more than she does, right?”
“Hehe, if my daughter marries such a rich person, I’ll definitely get her to buy a house and a car for my son to support us in our retirement. Unlike their family, where they watch their children and grandchildren work themselves to death.”
