"Old man, I haven't eaten in a few days and I want to ask you for some food." Xiao Ran smiled bitterly.
Looking at the old man like this, he doesn't look like he's going to town to buy food. Is the information wrong?
Laifu is unreliable!
Xiao Ran couldn't help but complained silently in his heart that he was always cheated by Laifu, so he must be taken care of when he goes back.
"I'm sorry, I don't have anything to eat at home..."
The old lady looked kind and kind, and Xiao Ran couldn't connect her with those who framed him.
In addition, I just observed that there is no red rash on the old man's body.
"It's okay, then it won't be difficult. You can just rest and don't need to come out."
Seeing a small stool in the corner of the courtyard, Xiao Ran let go of the old man and ran to the corner to get the stool.
"what are you doing!"
As soon as Xiao Ran picked up the stool, there was an angry shout from behind, which made Xiao Ran's hands tremble in fright.
Looking back, I saw a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, with a pretty face, but her clothes were all patched, and her family situation was not very good.
"Xiaoxue is back?"
The old man smiled and waved to the girl, but the girl still looked at Xiao Ran with a wary expression, as if Xiao Ran was a dangerous person.
"Grandma, who is this person?"
Xiaoxue quickly walked to the old man's side, supported the old man, and looked at the stool in Xiao Ran's hand, feeling a little scared.
But he still pretended to be calm. If he was afraid, then who could protect grandma?
"This one? He was just passing by."
Xiao Ran approached with a stool, but Xiaoxue shouted: "Stop!"
"Don't get me wrong, I just saw that the old man's legs and feet were inconvenient, so I gave her a stool to sit on."
After speaking, Xiao Ran carefully placed the stool at the feet of the two of them.
Seeing the stool in front of him, the old man smiled slightly at Xiao Ran: "He is a good boy!"
Xiaoxue did not let down her guard, but she also knew her grandmother's situation.
"What are you doing here?"
The two of them depended on each other and had nothing at home, so the sudden appearance of a strange man was inevitably a bit suspicious.
"I..." The little girl had such a fierce temper that Xiao Ran didn't know how to explain it for a while.
Suddenly he saw the sweet potato in the girl's hand. Although she didn't know what it was for, she still said slowly: "I'm just passing by. I'm so hungry. Can you give me something to eat?"
“Sweet potatoes are fine too!”
Hearing Xiao Ran's words, Xiaoxue was slightly startled, looked down at the sweet potatoes in her hands, and frowned: "I don't care what your purpose is, the food at our house is barely enough for two people, so we can't give it to you."
After looking at the clothes of the two people, the empty yard, and even the holes in the roof, Xiao Ran naturally believed that the girl was not lying to him.
"Good boy, why don't you give him half of it?"
The old man was still kind-hearted, and coupled with Xiao Ran's action of getting a stool for him just now, he was inevitably a little moved.
"But grandma..."
"Okay, grandma is not hungry today, so you can eat less..."
"Cough cough cough..."
After saying that, the old man coughed violently again, and his face turned pale.
"Grandma! Grandma, are you okay?" Xiaoxue squatted down, her face full of nervousness.
"How about calling a doctor?" Xiao Ran asked tentatively.
But she was glared at by Xiaoxue, isn't this nonsense?
If I could afford a doctor, would I still stand here stupidly?
In order to treat her grandma, she did everything she could and spent all her money, unable to get a penny out.
Otherwise, how could she be willing to let her grandma eat sweet potatoes with her?
Grandma is old and has bad teeth, so she can only steam the sweet potatoes until they are soft and rotten before giving them to her.
Seeing her grandma's current appearance, the girl couldn't help but blush.
"Xiaoxue, why are you crying? Grandma is old, and it is normal for her to have some minor problems."
The old man tried to smile a little, but he was very reluctant.
"Grandma, you'll be fine after eating the sweet potatoes." Xiaoxue took the sweet potatoes and was about to enter the house: "Grandma, wait for me, I'll go cook now."
When it comes to cooking, the only food she has is sweet potatoes.
"By the way, we still have the last bit of medicine. Grandma, please remember to drink it later." Xiaoxue warned.
The old man nodded, but still couldn't stop coughing.
This was so tragic that Xiao Ran didn't even notice it.
This kind of human tragedy was happening right in front of her. The girl didn't forget to rush Xiao Ran away before entering the house: "No matter what you want, I don't have it here. Leave now!"
Xiao Ran was dumbfounded for a moment, watching the girl enter the room, then hesitantly walked to the old man.
"Grandma, how long have you been sick?" Xiao Ran frowned.
He really couldn't stand it!
It’s all my fault for being too kind! Xiao Ran silently complained about himself.
"It's not in the way, it's just a minor problem, but Xiaoxue is right! Good boy, we can't help you, you'd better ask someone else." The old lady patted Xiao Ran's shoulder weakly.
Harmful!
Xiao Ran sighed, thought of something, and asked the old man softly: "Grandma, have your family bought any silk recently?"
In fact, in his eyes, the two of them probably couldn't afford it. Even with the buy-one-get-one-free discount at the time, it was impossible for them to afford it given their status of eating sweet potatoes every day.
"No...I've lost my bones, so naturally I can't buy any silk or satin. Those are the things that little girls like. Besides, in our situation..."
Xiao Ran's eyes darkened slightly, it seemed that something was indeed wrong.
Unable to find any information, Xiao Ran stood up silently, planning to ask Laifulai to help these two poor people later.
Although he is now in a quagmire, he can see that these two people are kind-hearted, and he really can't stand it.
He lifted his feet and was about to leave, but the old man sighed: "I'm just sorry for my Xiaoxue, she's so old and hasn't worn any good clothes."
"Every time I look at him outside the shop, it really makes me feel bad."
Hearing this, Xiao Ran paused.
"Buzhuang?"
The old man nodded: "Xiaoxue told me before that someone sells silk and satin. It is so smooth and beautiful, and its eyes are shining."
"She also said she saw a bunch of people grabbing those beautiful silks. She didn't say anything, but I know she was envious."
The old man is now seriously ill, and he just wants to find a good home for Xiaoxue and wear her favorite silk and satin before he dies.
Poor child!
As if thinking of something, Xiao Ran looked at the old man: "Then how come Xiaoxue still has money to get you medicine?"
Both of them were hungry and full, so how could they still have money to get medicine?
"Well, Xiaoxue said that someone saw how pitiful she was a few days ago, so they gave her a little money."
"This kid is stupid. He doesn't know how to buy something to fill his stomach. He actually used it all to buy me medicine..."
Hearing this, Xiao Ran became more and more suspicious.
This Xiaoxue probably has something to do with the case.
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that someone gave money to buy medicine for this kind of joint?
