"No, I'll take fifty cents, but fifty dollars is too much. I can't afford it."

The old lady refused resolutely, saying that she could not earn more than 50 yuan after picking up garbage for a whole year.

"You don't have to pay it back. Use the money to buy some meat to nourish your body. If you are healthy, your grandson will have someone to rely on. Otherwise, if you are sick, he will be left alone and helpless, which will be even more pitiful."

Ruan Qiqi didn't want to know about the past of this pair of grandparents and grandchildren. It was nothing more than a sad story. There were too many poor people in the world. She would help them when she saw them, and that was all.

"grandmother!"

A handsome boy ran out of the alley. After washing himself, he looked completely different from the day before. He was now a very handsome child.

However, there were footprints on the boy's body and slap marks on his face, which showed that the grandfather and grandson had been beaten not long ago.

The old lady's eyes turned red and her expression was moved by what Ruan Qiqi said. She gritted her teeth and made up her mind.

She glanced at the alley next to her and asked quietly, "Comrade, can I talk to you for a moment?"

Ruan Qiqi was very curious, so she followed the old lady into the alley.

"Comrade, are you...are you going there? Don't get me wrong, I won't tell anyone else. I just want you to help me find someone."

The old lady pointed to the other side of the river. When she saw Ruan Qiqi for the first time, she knew that she was related to the other side of the river.

Because the clothes Ruan Qiqi was wearing and the bag she was carrying could only be bought on the other side of the strait.

Although she was a poor old woman, she had worked as a maid in a wealthy family before and had some vision.

"Who do you want to know?"

Ruan Qiqi didn't admit it, but she didn't deny it either.

"The man from the Wu family is called Wu Yuda, he is 28 years old, and his wife is called Dai Wenqi, she is 23 or 24 years old. The Wu family is a wealthy family, it is easy to find out more about them." said the old lady.

"What is the relationship between Wu Yuda and Wu Yuntao?" Ruan Qiqi asked.

"Do you know Wu Yuntao?"

The old lady's cloudy eyes suddenly emitted a bright light.

"I don't know you, but I've heard of you for a long time."

The Wu family is considered one of the top wealthy families in Hong Kong, and Wu Yuntao is the current head of the family. Judging from the old lady's reaction, her grandson's background must be complicated.

"Wu Yuda is Wu Yuntao's nephew, and this poor child is Wu Yuntao's great-nephew."

Sure enough, the old lady revealed the boy’s life experience. She had been feeling worse and worse recently and was worried that he wouldn’t last much longer. She wanted to find relatives for the child, otherwise she would not be able to die in peace.

"Let's eat together and talk while we eat."

Ruan Qiqi invited the grandparents and grandchildren to have dinner at the restaurant. Today, the grandparents and grandchildren were clean and tidy, so it was okay for them to have dinner together.

She even specifically requested a private room so that they could talk more conveniently.

"Have some soup to warm your stomach first. There's no rush. There's plenty of time."

"Thank you, we haven't had such delicious food for a long time."

The old lady thanked him sincerely. She originally had some savings, but she and her children fell ill last year and had spent all their money. They could only pick up garbage to make a living. It wasn't a big deal for her because she was old, but it was hard for her children.

The grandparents and grandchildren ate very politely and had good table manners, completely different from the dirty look they had yesterday.

After eating until she was about 70% full, the old lady began to tell the story.

"I used to work as a servant in the Wu family. The master at that time was Wu Yuntao's father. Master Wu was worried about the changing situation, so he arranged for his second son, Wu Yuntao, to live across the street. The eldest son, who is this child's grandfather, stayed in Yangcheng. Alas..."

Needless to say, we can guess what happened next. The eldest son and his family, who stayed behind, suffered misfortune. Mr. Wu was old and passed away within two years. The eldest son and his family went to a farm in the northwest, where they lived a miserable life.

The eldest son knew that he could not just sit there and wait for death, and he had to leave incense for the first house, so he asked his son Wu Yuda to go to the other side of the river to find his second uncle's family.

"I don't know whether the young master made it to the other side. Half a year later, the child's mother came to us with a big belly. The eldest master and his wife had both died in an accident. Before she died, she left a message asking her to go to the other side to find the young master. I don't know how she got here. Alas!"

The old lady wiped away tears as she talked about the past. She continued, "After giving birth, she went to the other side without even taking a month off. Before she left, she told me that as long as she could get a foothold on the other side, she would ask someone to send me money. But I received money in the first year, but not after that. I don't know what happened to them."

What she is more worried about now is the safety of Wu Yuda and his wife. To be honest, she is not confident about Wu Yuntao's character.

She has worked as a maid in the Wu family for more than twenty years, and the person she can't stand the most is Wu Yuntao, who is sweet-mouthed, treacherous, two-faced and cruel!

Unlike the eldest young master's family, they are all honest and kind people, and are also nice to their servants.

Ruan Qiqi frowned slightly. She remembered that something had indeed happened to the Wu family.

Three years ago, a nephew of the Wu family was driving when his brakes suddenly failed, causing the car to crash and the driver to die.

This nephew had a very low presence in the Wu family and was only mentioned briefly in the newspapers. Moreover, the Wu family members were not sad, and Wu Yuntao's children continued to live a life of debauchery.

Even Wu Yuntao himself, during the days when his nephew died, was still playing golf with his friends and looked in a very good mood.

Moreover, Ruan Qiqi knew that the death of this nephew was planned by Wu Yuntao. He was afraid that his nephew would divide the family property, so he tampered with the car and killed him.

All this information was heard from Shushu. The reason why she could remember it so clearly was because Wu Yuntao was so vicious that Ruan Qiqi was deeply impressed.

"How many brothers does Wu Yuntao have?"

Ruan Qiqi wanted to confirm whether the dead nephew was Wu Yuda.

"They are just two brothers, comrade, do you know anything?"

The old lady had a bad feeling in her heart.

"I only know that there is no such person as Dai Wenqi in the Wu family, and Wu Yuntao is insidious and cunning, not a good person."

In front of the children, Ruan Qiqi spoke very cryptically, believing that the old lady would be able to understand.

The old lady's face changed drastically. She threw her chopsticks on the ground and said to her grandson, "Anzi, go get grandma a pair of chopsticks."

"OK."

The boy ran out to get the chopsticks.

Ruan Qiqi whispered, "Three years ago, when Wu Yuda was driving, the brakes failed and the car was destroyed and he died. The incident was left unresolved."

"It must have been that beast Wu Yuntao who did this. He was born to a concubine, and he could only get 30% of the Wu family's property at most. Before his death, Master Wu left a letter asking him to give 70% of the property he brought with him to the young master. This beast is so evil, he must not die a good death..."

The old lady covered her face and cried. If she had known the result would be like this, she would have let the young master stay in Yangcheng and live a hard life with her.

"Grandma, here are the chopsticks for you."

Anzi brought the chopsticks and saw the old lady's face was covered with tears. Her little face changed color and she asked anxiously, "Grandma, is there something wrong with Dad and Mom?"

The old lady didn't know what to say and looked at him with tears in her eyes.

"Are Mom and Dad dead?"

Anzi suddenly sighed, revealing a sadness that was not befitting of his age.

The old lady couldn't hold back any longer and hugged him and cried. The boy didn't cry. Instead, he seemed very calm and patted the old lady's back gently with his little hands.

Ruan Qiqi developed a strong interest in this child. He seemed to be a promising talent. And she really hated that bastard Wu Yuntao, so she made a decision.

"Would you like to face off with us? I'll find some awesome parents for Anzi!"

Ruan Qiqi asked very seriously.

Xia Tao didn't know whether she could have a child, so she simply gave Anzi to her as a son, raised him well, and then went to take back the Wu family's property.
