I'm not going to help a sarcastic 70-year-old woman.

What to do if your neighbor is a bit grumpy and granny? Is it possible to coexist with such a woman peacefully and how to do it? The heroine of our next story, Lilya, tried to do this and even partially achieved success. But what was the result of the woman’s good intentions and what happened between the neighbors?



Angry Grandma Sophia's Grandma for a long time lived alone. Her children went abroad, some earlier and some later. The youngest daughter of the woman left for work only in March and has not come since then. Sophia did not have a large farm. Just a piece of land near the house and a dozen chickens.

But Grandma's character was pretty bad. She loved to argue with her neighbors, especially with her peers. More or less. relationship Sophia only had Lily. A young woman with two children and her husband, who also always works, did not annoy the old woman. And Lila felt sorry for Sophia. Slowly, the woman began to look at her grumpy neighbor more and more.



Normal relations Lilya helped Sophia and did not even think that one day her kindness will come out of her side. Of course, she was well aware of her grandmother’s character, but she was quite supportive of the young woman. She believed that Lilya not only helps, but also learns life wisdom.

It was a pleasure to take care of an old lady. She was an orphan, neither parents nor grandparents. And here's the gift of fate. So the woman helped Sophia dig in the beds, feed chickens, buy groceries. Angry grandmother stopped showing her sharp teeth. She even made up with her neighbors.



Lily's husband was skeptical: "You're wasting your time on that old bugger." She'll prove herself. What's the point of being so close to her? You're not going to take her house and her land. “How can you say that about your old grandmother, Yura?” exclaimed Lily with horror, “there is no one to look after her.” The kids are gone and it's all right. She is indeed old and infirm.” “Yes, so weak that it is still possible to plow on it,” Yuri seemed to see through his neighbor. It was as if he had a feeling that the wicked grandmother would show herself.



The situation that forever changed Lily’s opinion about the elderly Sophia, happened by accident. Lily's kids were getting ready for Halloween. It is a strange holiday for the village, but the kids are interested. They decided to make a pumpkin lamp. "Mom, can I have a pumpkin in Grandma Sonia's garden?" asked Lily's eldest son.

"Ask permission first," the woman replied. But the boys missed it. They will choose the most beautiful and the largest pumpkin, and then ask. Grandma noticed some fuss in the garden and immediately ran to the guys. Began to scold them on what the light is worth and accuse them of stealing pumpkin.



Almost the whole street ran away to the cry of the old lady. “These petty thieves stole my biggest and most beautiful pumpkin! What kind of mother are you, since you raised your sons in this way, Sophia did not stop. Lily's children were frightened and were no longer happy with their idea of a lantern and going to the garden of Grandma Sophia.

Lilya ran to the kids and tried to calm down her neighbor. The young woman was shocked because she thought she and Sophia were friends. Yes, but Grandma's character was never easy. But she never allowed herself to do that before. Lilya apologized that her boys acted so irresponsibly. But they're just kids.



Angry grandmother was left alone after such a quarrel Lily tried walk around Sophia is the tenth way. She could not understand why Grandma made such a scandal over the pumpkin. It was possible to calmly understand, talk, find out the causes of the problem. But Sophia for a long time “spit” towards Lily with sarcastic phrases.

So an angry grandmother managed to stay alone in her old age. Nobody even wanted to talk to her. Occasionally, someone from the local authorities came to see if Sophia had given God her soul. The old woman never understood why the whole street didn't want to do anything with her. They wanted to take away a whole pumpkin.
