138 Redemption
Ever since she ca here, the children in the village would occasionally cry when they saw her. The next ti they saw her, they would definitely avoid her. This was the first ti soone had looked at her with such a friendly gaze. Granny Lin’s originally ice-cold heart suddenly softened, and she said in a gentle voice, “There’s no need.”
Jian Qingqing did not give up and continued to persuade her, “Granny Lin, but you don’t have any land to grow and eat? Just grow a little. If you don’t want to grow, I’ll get soone to do it for you. You just need to take care of it, okay?”
This ti, Granny Lin did not hear her finish. She pushed the door open and entered the house. She slamd the door shut and a muffled voice ca from inside the house, “No need!”
Jian Qingqing had a nose full of dust. Not only did she not feel disappointed, but she felt even more sorry for this granny. When Granny Lin opened the door and entered the house, she vaguely saw a room full of morial tablets. Although she did not understand what had happened, it must be a very sad story.
There was a room full of morial tablets, and only a widowed old man was guarding it. It was easy to imagine how much pain this old man was in.
Thinking about these things all the way ho, Mother Jian saw her absent-minded look and asked, “Big Sister, what are you thinking about? Why are you so engrossed in it?”
After Jian Qingqing made money, she was not willing to let Mother Jian go to the fields, so Mother Jian was now doing so housework at ho.
Jian Qingqing ca back to her senses and asked her mother curiously, “Mother, do you know that Granny Lin?”
“That Granny Lin from the west of the village? I’ve seen her a few tis. What’s wrong?”
Jian Qingqing hugged her mother. She said sadly, “I just feel that she’s a little pitiful. She lives there alone and doesn’t interact with others. I just want to help her, but I don’t know what kind of help she needs, nor do I know if she needs my help.”
Mother Jian gently stroked her back, she said softly, “There are so many pitiful people in this world. What you’ve t is fate. If you want to help, then help. Do what you want to do. As long as you have a clear conscience, it’s good. Just like your mother, I was sold by my family because of famine when I was young. If your grandfather didn’t feel that I’m pitiful and bought from soone else, my life might have been a hundred tis more miserable than now. So, there really will be people who will completely change their lives because of your kindness. Just follow your heart.”
Jian Qingqing raised her head and said firmly, “Mother, I want to help her. I think she needs to be saved.”
That night, Jian Qingqing took a portion of the prepared food and gave it to Granny Lin. Jian Dalang was worried that she would go alone, so he followed behind to send her off.
The road was full of weeds, and it was hard to tell which way was which. Jian Dalang patted the grass and said, “Big Sister, I will mow all the grass for you tomorrow.”
Jian Qingqing nodded and said happily, “Thank you, Father! But don’t go up there later. Just wait for at the bottom of the slope. Granny Lin might not be happy with so many people disturbing her.”
Even though he was a little reluctant, he still nodded and said, “I know.”
When they reached there, Jian Qingqing carried the food box and knocked on the door. “Granny Lin, I’m here to bring you food! Open the door!”
Granny Lin, who was reciting the sutras, was surprised when she heard this, but she did not move.
Jian Qingqing waited for a while and felt that Granny Lin might not want to talk to her, so she shouted and threatened, “Granny Lin, if you don’t open the door, I’ll tear down your door and go in. Anyway, this door is so flimsy, it should be quite easy to tear down.”
