The elderly couple stayed in the hospital for a week. Today, I took a day off to pick them up from the hospital.

As their "caregiver" for the past week, they showed no restraint in their malice towards me as soon as they saw me.

On the way back, the elderly lady, who was ridiculed at the hospital and filled with anger, glared at me resentfully and said, "A weasel paying New Year's respects to a chicken. You, a woman with ill intentions, how can you treat two poor old people like this? You will face retribution."

I was not provoked by the old lady's words.

"Godmother, how can you say such things about me?

"If it weren't for me, you and godfather might have been long gone by now.

"I saved you both, and now I deserve punishment? Are you such unforgivable and despicable people that I can't save you?"

After hearing my words, the elderly couple were both seething with anger.

Realizing they were no match for me, they exchanged a knowing glance and suppressed their anger.

The old lady said sternly, "You know why we were hospitalized. If I couldn't afford to keep you as my goddaughter, return the pair of gold bracelets to us, consider this family tie never happened, then move out from next door. We, being kind-hearted, won't pursue your legal responsibility."

Her words made me chuckle.

Thinking about gold bracelets at the brink of death.

Kind-hearted? They can be called kind-hearted, then there are no malicious people in the world.

"Alright, I have the gold bracelets at home. If you haven't changed your mind when we get back, I'll get them for you."

"Of course, we won't change our minds. When you get back, return the gold bracelets to us."

They were surprised that I was so easily intimidated and agreed to return the gold bracelets to them, sounding somewhat pleased.

This joy lasted until they reached the doorstep.

Upon returning home, they saw two unfamiliar men in their house, and their beloved son was kneeling with a battered and bruised face, welcoming them in. They were shocked and exclaimed, "Son, who did this to you?"

"Godfather, godmother, who else could it be? Of course, it's us."

I followed them into the house, closed the door behind me, and smiled at them.
