Chapter 38: Buying Candy
Editor: Atlas Studios
The few of them quickly packed their things and went to have lunch with Brother Wang. In the end, they spent 35 yuan for five bowls of plain noodles. This made them sigh. Such delicious noodles were only seven yuan a bowl. It was really worth it.
After that, everyone carefully chose gifts for the auntie’s family. Almost all of them were fruits, milk, gift bags, and so on. They spent more than 70 yuan. After all, the countryside valued food, and there was indeed no other choice in the town too.
The few of them took Brother Wang’s tractor back to the village. There was less than a hundred yuan left in their hands. Their hearts were bleeding. It was really easy to spend money but difficult to earn money.
After sending gifts to the auntie’s house and returning ho, they realized that Yu Ruo and the others were still at ho. Their twisted bamboo baskets were piled up in the courtyard, and no one cared.
ng Xi and Yu Su looked at each other before covering their mouths and laughing secretly.
In the end, the God of Music was rejected.
After that, the production team did not assign any tasks. The entire afternoon was reserved for their own free ti.
“A few days ago, there were a few grandmothers who were already in their 80s. Without their children by their side, I want to take a look and see if there’s anything I can help with. It’s good even if I can help tidy up the house,” Yu Su said to ng Xi as she tidied herself up.
“I’ll go too, I’ll go too. In the blink of an eye, we’re already halfway through our schedule here. The villagers are all quite good to us, so we should help.” ng Xi was no longer as focused on resting as before. Facing Yu Su’s suggestion, she responded very positively.
“Then let’s go together.” Thus, the two of them held hands and set off together.
This ti, they had plenty of ti, and they did not have any tasks for the production team, so the two of them admired so of the scenery on the way.
Occasionally, stray dogs would bark at the two of them from afar. When the two of them approached, they would run away quickly. Then, they would turn around and bark.
The two of them started from the families of the lonely old people nearby. They simply helped them sweep the courtyard, clean the rooms, and even washed so of the old people’s hair.
Every ti the family ended, an old lady would hold their hands and tell them so vague stories from a long ti ago.
After hearing so many stories, ng Xi’s state of mind was inevitably affected. She cried uncontrollably because of the story of an old man and his wife when they were young.
“Alright, alright. The wind in the evening is still quite strong. Be careful of your little face.”
The two of them walked ho slowly. Yu Su also patiently comforted the girl beside her.
Sotis, she felt that ng Xi was very similar to her in her previous life. She was simple-minded and had strong empathy, so she could not help but show more concern and patience to her.
As they walked, they saw Yu Miao squatting in the distance, coaxing a crying child. When she saw the two of them coming over, she hurriedly greeted them.
“Yu Su, ng Xi, where did you go?”
“We were just strolling around.” ng Xi was already in a bad mood, and her voice was very cold.
Yu Miao looked a little embarrassed, but she was certain that Yu Su had bad mouthed her to them. Otherwise, why would anyone not like her when she was so understanding?
At this mont, the child, who had just sat on the ground with snot bubbling, wiped his tears with his hand and got up, wanting to pull Yu Miao’s hand.
Yu Miao seed to have sensed sothing and quickly took a step back. The child pouted and cried again.
“Sister is lying. Sister said she wanted to buy candy. Sister is lying.”
Yu Miao instantly coaxed the child in a flurry, but the flash of disgust in her eyes was still captured by Yu Su.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t bring any money with . Next ti, I’ll definitely buy it for you next ti, okay?” Yu Miao coaxed the child gently, but he was only three or four years old. How could he understand logic?
He only knew that he had bumped into this sister just now. The sister in front of him apologized and said that she wanted to buy him candy, but now she was going back on her word.
ng Xi tugged at Yu Su’s hand, gesturing for her to leave quickly. She did not want to stay in the sa space as Yu Miao. However, when Yu Su looked at the child, she suddenly rembered that she was also such a small child at that ti. She had been beaten and scolded by human traffickers in all sorts of ways, and her body was covered in bruises.
A child’s heart was innocent, but it was also extrely easy to be hurt. Although she didn’t like Yu Miao and knew that Yu Miao was just putting on a show, she really couldn’t stand to see a small child being deceived.
“Co here, I’ll take you to buy candy and send you ho.” Ignoring Yu Miao, Yu Su walked forward and picked up the child. Without even saying goodbye, she walked towards the small shop in the village.
