My name is Su Xiuyun. I’m seventy years old, a retired old woman.
My dutiful son and daughter-in-law want me to sell the only keepsake my late husband left me so they can buy a wedding home for my grandson.
My relatives take turns lecturing me, saying that staying in my courtyard house is just “waiting to die.” At my age, I’m so furious with my own family that I faint.
But they don’t know that when I wake up, the whole world around me has turned into plain, honest talk!
[The daughter-in-law who seems so concerned]:“Mom, your health comes first.”
[In her heart]: Why won’t this old bag just kick the bucket? Once she’s gone, this courtyard house will be mine!
[The “respected” relative]:“Xiuyun, we’re only saying this for your own good.”
[In his heart]: I just need to sweet-talk her into a stupor. My two-hundred-thousand-yuan gambling debt is counting on her!
[The neighbor looking to take advantage]:“Granny Su, you’re a living bodhisattva!”
[In his heart]: This old lady is so easy to fool. I’ll grab a little more of the shared space later.
From then on, I still seem to be the same deaf, half-blind old woman who wants no trouble with anyone.
Behind the scenes, I beat the ungrateful relatives, put those scheming faux-sweethearts in their place, expose health supplement scams, and even help the police crack a shocking case.
Wait, what’s that handsome old man next door, who’s always bringing me tofu, thinking?
[In his heart]: When will the organization realize that the S-rank “Truth Listener” has awakened?
Me:“...??”
Hold on, how is my retirement getting weirder and weirder?!
So what is described in Chapter 28 is being co-opted? No, no, no, no one really thinks that being included after awakening super powers is a good thing, right? The world is already miserable enough, does it need one more thing that can't be controlled by one's own control? It's your business if you want to protect the people. I can do good things, but you can't force me to do good things. These are completely different things. The protagonist's ability to gain superpowers has nothing to do with you guys. She doesn't owe you anything, so put away your big face.
It's like a big cake 😅 I don't know what to say [crying with laughter]
