Chapter four hundred and eighty-eighth good-hearted people
Chu Nan and Yudie followed the little girl as she walked along the narrow village road to her grandmother's house. Along the way, the villagers pointed and whispered.
But you don’t have to guess, it’s definitely not a good thing.
The Chinese nation has many fine traditions, but it also has many bad qualities.
For example, in rural areas like this where the economy and culture are uncivilized, feudal ideology is still very serious, and wariness of outsiders and snobbishness of poor people are relatively common phenomena.
But that doesn't mean that everyone is like this, just like this little girl and her unseen grandmother.
The little girl's grandmother's house is a dilapidated mud-tiled house with a corner of the roof collapsed, and the yard is filled with all kinds of garbage. It doesn't look like a home in good condition.
"Grandma, grandma and the others are coming to our house!"
The little girl called out and walked into the dirty courtyard with a bowl in her hands. Soon, an old woman in simple clothes and slightly messy hair came out from among the garbage.
The old lady wiped her hands, and when facing Chu Nan and Yudie, she obviously lost the innocence of little girls and was a little restrained, but she was still enthusiastic. She smiled and said, "Why did you wander to our small village?
Won’t you eat the food given to you?
Don’t dislike it, there’s nothing left to give at home.”
"Grandma, we didn't come to ask you for food, but we wanted to ask you something."
Chu Nan knew that both the grandmother and granddaughter were having a hard time, so he didn't want to disturb her too much and went straight to the point, "I want to ask you, what is the name of this village and where is it specifically located?
Also, how far is it from the town where I can buy clothes?
How to go?"
The old lady looked at Chu Nan for a few times before saying, "You have been wandering all this way and don't even know where this place is?"
Chu Nan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Grandma, we are not homeless people, we are just in a bit of a mess because...for some reason."
"Not a homeless man?
Then why are you dressed so...dirty?"
The old lady thought Chu Nan was lying to her, and couldn't help but said, "Who would believe it? Look at your clothes, they are worse than the garbage picker like me, why are you pretending to be polite?
Although our family's conditions are poor, we still have enough people for you to stutter. If you really have no place to go, just stay here temporarily."
"Grandma, you misunderstood, we are not..." Before Chu Nan could finish speaking, the old lady interrupted and waved her hands, "Hey... life is getting better now, but there are indeed many poor people, Xiaoling
That’s the case, and it’s the same with you... When no one is in trouble, don’t worry about it.”
"I..." Chu Nan still wanted to explain, but Yudie next to him grabbed him, shook his head, and whispered, "Chun Nan, you haven't seen it yet?
Grandma is old and her thinking is not very good. No matter how much you talk to her, it will be useless. You have to go with the flow and follow her ideas."
Chu Nan curled his lips and could only shrug helplessly and said, "Okay, you can do it."
As expected, it is easier for women to communicate with each other. Yudie quickly got along with the old lady and asked for the needed information.
It turns out that this village is called Dayu Village, an ordinary rural area under the jurisdiction of Pingyan Town. It is located on the edge of the Shennong area and is right next door to the county town where Chu Nan drove to before. It takes about two hours to get to the town by car.
can be reached.
This undoubtedly brought some good news to Chu Nan. In this way, he only had to go to a nearby town and take a car to the neighboring county, where he could find his parked Land Rover off-road vehicle and drive back to Southeast Province.
"Grandma, I would like to ask, when will there be a bus from here to the town?"
Yudie continued to ask like he was pursuing victory, "We want to leave now."
"Now?
That's not possible. There are only two buses from our village to the town in the morning and noon a day. We have to wait until tomorrow morning at the latest for a bus to go to the town. Today there is no bus."
The old lady was sorting the garbage and said, "Little girls, what do you want to do when you go to town?
Go begging?”
"No grandma, we went to town because we wanted to take a bus to our hometown."
Chu Nan was also used to this misunderstanding and smiled bitterly.
"I told you to stop making excuses, I don't know you tramps?
I always want to beg in cities and towns so that I can have enough food and clothing."
The old woman sighed and said, "You think you are so young, why do you have to beg for a living?
If you have the strength, you can make a good living collecting rags... Otherwise, why don't you collect garbage with me?
I won’t live long. I’ll leave all the garbage in this village to you. At least it’s a small business, right?”
Chu Nan and Yudie looked at each other, really dumbfounded, and didn't know how to explain it.
A billionaire and a ruthless killer inexplicably turned into a homeless man begging along the road. Telling this story will really make people laugh out loud.
"Okay, I'm just asking out of kindness. If you don't want to, it's up to you."
Seeing the two of them smiling bitterly, the old woman seemed to know that the strong-willed melon was not sweet, so she waved her hand and said, "You don't have a place to sleep tonight, do you?"
You might as well live here. Although the house is shabby, at least it can protect you from the wind and rain, and you won't get cold or hungry."
After thinking about it for a while, Chu Nan nodded helplessly and said, "Then I can only stay here for one night. Thank you grandma for your hospitality."
"You're welcome, who doesn't have any difficulties when going out..." The old lady stood up with a slight trembling, turned around and entered the house.
"Brother and sister, you're staying at our house tonight. It's great."
The girl named Xiaoling happily wiped her lips and said with a smile, "We finally have a guest!"
Yudie looked at the cute little girl, smiled and hugged her and said, "Xiaoling, thank you and your grandma for taking us in."
"You're welcome. This is actually how grandma took in Xiaoling."
The little girl said with a somewhat gloomy expression, "Xiao Ling was picked up by grandma, and she hasn't seen her parents yet... Grandma said that she was getting old and wanted to send Xiao Ling to an orphanage, but Xiao Ling
Ling didn’t want to, so she just wanted to accompany her grandma...” When Chu Nan heard Xiaoling’s words, he knew that she was a miserable girl who had been abandoned by her parents.
It is indeed not easy for this old man to drag her down to such a big age at such an old age.
The sun was gradually setting in the west. Chu Nan and Yu Die were temporarily staying here for the night, so they took the initiative to help the old lady with her work.
After cleaning up the trash, the old lady actually picked out some clothes for the two of them.
Especially the clothes given to Yudie were left behind by the old man. Although they were a bit old, they were clean and tidy.
As for Chu Nan, he could only make do with some clothes worn by migrant workers. Although they were a little damaged, they were more respectable than the clothes he wore.
After they took a shower and changed clothes, when they came to the grandson and grandson again, they were immediately stunned by the beautiful face and goddess-like figure of Yudie who had been cleaned up. The old woman smiled and praised Yudie for her good looks.
The four of them sat under the dim light in the kitchen and had a simple meal of pickles and eggs.
But Chu Nan could see that the old lady cooked the food very carefully, which was considered a warm hospitality from this family.
After dinner, while everyone was chatting, Xiaoling's life experience was mentioned unknowingly. The old lady sighed and said, "My Xiaoling is a miserable child. She has suffered from a bad old woman like me since she was a child. But apart from me, she also
I don’t have any relatives left... I don’t have a good life for a long time. I plan to find a kind person to adopt her. If it doesn’t work, I will send her to an orphanage...” “No, grandma, I won’t go to the orphanage. I will stay with you forever!”
Xiaoling became very excited when this topic was brought up. She grabbed the old lady's hand tightly and said, "I don't want to be adopted by others!"
