She became an old man's free caregiver for nothing, and also kept his things for free.
In her past life, she served that old man's parents and took care of his children, but she received no benefits and even lost her life for nothing.
That's why she decided to say that, so that Grandma Sun would think that she had really taken everything to the black market to exchange for other things, and then she wouldn't tell her relatives that she had things with Wenxi, and they would have to go to Wenxi to get them back.
However, Wenxi did indeed exchange items according to market prices. For example, a jade bracelet might be worth a few yuan or a dozen yuan at the time, and she would buy Grandma Sun items that were worth that much.
Of course, if Grandma Sun needs money or tickets, she can send them to her, since she's not short of money herself.
It's the present moment, so let's not talk about future value, since their transaction is taking place now, not in the future.
Wenxi took out the list and handed it to Grandma Sun. "Grandma, this is the list. Please take a look so you can have a better understanding of it."
Most city dwellers can read a few words, especially someone like Grandma Sun who seems to be well-off; she must have attended a private school and learned to read before.
"Xiaoxi, you're so thoughtful. I originally intended to give those things to you. I don't want these good things to be wasted." Grandma Sun didn't even look at the list of supplies.
"Grandma, don't worry. People who are willing to spend money to buy these things must be rich. They will definitely take good care of them. If they stay in our hands, we probably won't be able to keep them. Rather than letting others benefit from them, we might as well exchange them for something to eat!" Wenxi said.
Wenxi didn't distrust Grandma Sun, but she distrusted Grandma Sun's descendants. The fact that they could abandon an elderly person to live alone without worrying about her safety showed that their values and beliefs were not so good.
If they knew she was close to Grandma Sun, even if Grandma Sun hadn't given her anything, they would still falsely accuse her of taking Grandma Sun's things in order to take more.
So now they've switched to food, letting Grandma Sun eat, drink, and enjoy herself. They have no reason to ask her for anything. If they do ask her, she'll just throw the list in their faces.
"Grandma, you must eat all the things I got for you. Don't let them spoil. I have some things to take care of, so I'll be going now. I'll come back to see you in a few days." Wenxi said goodbye to Grandma Sun and left with the empty basket.
Just as she stepped out of Grandma Sun's yard, she saw an old woman from next door peeking in her direction. Before the woman could ask what was going on, Wenxi closed the gate and quickly left, not giving her a chance to speak.
Anyway, every time she brought something to Grandma Sun, it was a portion for just one person, which could be hidden and eaten quickly.
After leaving Grandma Sun's house, Wenxi went to the roadside to take a bus. She got off near the hospital and then walked to the tree opposite the hospital, waiting aimlessly.
A gust of wind blew by, bringing a touch of coolness.
He Chen'an's dormitory is very small and not suitable for cooking. He Chen'an eats all three meals a day in the hospital cafeteria. It is unknown whether he rests in the office or goes back to the dormitory after meals, so Wen Xi does not know if she will be able to wait for He Chen'an today.
Suddenly, Wen Xi saw He Chen'an appear in front of the hospital. He Chen'an turned his head anxiously, looking around for something. Only when his gaze fell on Wen Xi's face did his eyes light up, and then he walked towards Wen Xi.
The joy and happiness in his eyes were genuine, and Wenxi hadn't expected him to be so happy to see her.
It seems that seeing each other once or twice a week is still too infrequent for them.
He Chen'an was wearing a white shirt and army green pants. The hem of the white shirt was tucked into the waistband, which made him look broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted, and long-legged. He looked very elegant, unlike others who looked greasy with their big bellies.
And the watch Wen Xi gave him on his fair wrist made him the most handsome guy in the crowd.
He Chen'an strode up to Wen Xi, looked down at her, and a bright smile spread across his face. "Why didn't you come in to find me?"
Wen Xi asked with a smile, "Why did you come out?"
She didn't send anyone in to inform him, but he seemed to already know she was there.
"Because I had a feeling that you were here, and I didn't expect you to actually come. Maybe this is what they call telepathy!" If they weren't outside, He Chen'an really wanted to hold her hand and press it against his chest so she could feel his heartbeat.
Wen Xi hadn't expected that he would figure it out himself.
Eyes don't lie. Wen Xi could tell that He Chen'an's feelings for her were very deep and intense, which moved her deeply. She never expected that she would accidentally meet someone who liked her so much.
Moreover, he is truly outstanding, a skilled professional in the social field. As long as he doesn't make any mistakes, he will be a highly sought-after talent for life, and his retirement will be very comfortable.
"You haven't eaten yet, have you? Let's go to a state-run restaurant. It's not lunchtime yet, so it shouldn't be crowded, and there should be plenty of good food," He Chen'an suggested.
Wenxi nodded.
After that, the two of them arrived at the state-run restaurant one after the other. They arrived early, and the state-run restaurant was indeed empty, with only a few people, mainly because most people had not yet finished their get off work and were not yet at dinner time.
It's hot now, so it's not suitable to eat greasy food. Therefore, He Chen'an ordered stir-fried green peppers with pork, stir-fried cucumbers with eggs, and seaweed and tofu soup. After giving the money and tickets to the waiter, He Chen'an led Wen Xi over and pulled out chairs to sit down.
"What brings you to the county town today? Why didn't you let me know first?" He Chen'an poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Wen Xi.
"Thank you." Wen Xi smiled and thanked her, then picked up the cool water and slowly drank it. "I decided to deliver the supplies to Grandma Sun at the last minute, so I didn't inform you. Besides, I'm going back this afternoon, so there's no need for you to find someone to switch shifts. It's not worth it, and switching shifts too often won't be good for you."
“I don’t care about any of that. In my eyes, seeing you is the most important thing,” He Chen’an said earnestly.
People who don't care about work or money are likely from good families and have abundant wealth, just like Wenxi. She can earn several thousand yuan a month and has a lot of valuable things, so naturally she wouldn't look down on a job with a monthly salary of a few dozen yuan.
"After we finish eating, let's find a place to sit for a while!" Wenxi said.
He Chen'an's eyes lit up after hearing this.
At this moment, the waiter said the food was ready, so He Chen'an got up and brought the food over. Then the two of them started eating. Wen Xi fed He Chen'an some seaweed and tofu soup, gave him half of the rice, and then ladled out a lot of seaweed and tofu soup to eat with the soup.
