Aunt Chen held Xu Wanyan's hand tightly for a moment, then looked at her in surprise.
"Auntie, I mean, Brother Chen and I are good friends, so it's natural that I gave you gifts because of him. Please don't feel pressured."
Looking at Xu Wanyan's charming smile, Aunt Chen was dazzled. After a long while, she said, "Yes, yes, yes. In the future, if you encounter any difficulties, just tell Xiaoshan and ask him to help you."
"good."
"Old woman, who are you talking to? Is there anyone coming home? Is Xiaoshan back?"
A series of questions made Xu Wanyan realize how much the person in the room cared about her brother.
"Old man, it's Xiaoshan's friends who came to see us."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Xu Wanyan and said, “Miss, it’s my old man. He probably just woke up.”
Xu Wanyan nodded, "Auntie, I'll go in and see him."
"This... the old man lies in the house all day long. Inside, inside... it's not very clean."
Xu Wanyan knew her dilemma, but the person inside was her brother's savior, so how could she not go and see him?
"Auntie, it's okay, I'll go in and take a look."
"this......"
Before Aunt Chen finished speaking, Xu Wanyan had already turned around and walked towards the inner room.
Aunt Chen had no choice but to follow.
I gently pushed open the door and a pungent musty smell hit me in the face.
Xu Wanyan couldn't help but frown uncomfortably.
"Girl, here..."
"Auntie, I'm fine."
When she walked in, she found that it was a little dark inside, with no lights on and the windows not open.
"Auntie, please open the window. It's not good for Uncle Chen to stay in such a dark place all year round."
"This..., I don't understand either. I just want to be quiet like this."
"Hurry up and open the window and let Uncle Chen breathe some fresh air. There's a musty smell in the room, which is not only not conducive to treating the disease, but will make it worse."
Hearing this, Aunt Chen panicked and quickly opened the window.
In an instant, the pleasant smell from outside wafted in, and the room became much brighter.
"Auntie, when the weather is nice next time, you must open the windows."
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."
This time, Xu Wanyan saw the face of the person on the bed clearly.
He has a standard square face, but unfortunately, because he has not seen the sun for many years, his face is pale and he looks listless.
However, he looked very clean, without any extra beard, and his hair was combed neatly.
This shows that Aunt Chen takes very good care of her children.
"Girl, you are..."
"Uncle Chen, my name is Xu Wanyan. I'm a friend of Brother Chen and I came to see you."
Father Chen nodded, his eyes full of gratitude, "Thank you, thank you."
"His father, this child not only came to see us, but also brought us a lot of gifts. I said no, but she insisted on giving them to us. I'm afraid she has enough food and drink for us for half a year."
Father Chen was even more surprised. "This child, you, why are you doing this? How can our Chen family accept such a big gift from you? No merit, no reward. Take it back."
"Yeah, I told her that, but she just wouldn't."
Xu Wanyan smiled and said, "I brought it out to give to you. How can I take it back? Besides, those are what you use every day. Auntie, uncle, please don't be polite to me anymore."
"What should I do?"
Looking at the person on the bed rubbing his hands constantly, Xu Wanyan knew that he was a down-to-earth person.
"Auntie, uncle, if you feel embarrassed, wait until Brother Chen returns to Beijing and ask him to help me more."
"That's as it should be. That's as it should be."
"By the way, what's wrong with the uncle's legs?"
Aunt Chen walked over to the bed, looked at his legs, and said, "We didn't know. At first, his legs would ache whenever it rained. But we didn't take it seriously at the time. It wasn't until later on that it got worse and worse. On cloudy and rainy days, his legs would ache so much that he couldn't even stand up straight. That's when we realized the severity of the problem."
Then she sighed, "When we went to see the doctor, he said it couldn't be cured and that acupuncture would be better."
"You know our family, we don't have the money to pay for acupuncture, so we just put it off like this."
Xu Wanyan sighed in her heart. After all, it was because of poverty.
"Qiao Yun, find some time to go find Shopkeeper Tong and ask him to take a look."
"yes!"
"No, no, no, no thanks, girl. My legs are already like this, I don't need to see a doctor."
Xu Wanyan shook her head, "Uncle Chen, don't think too much, I'll pay for this..."
"No, no, no, this is even worse. How can we ask you to pay for the medical expenses? I'm already so old, and I've lived enough. I don't need treatment. I won't treat it anymore."
Xu Wanyan shook her head. "How can I not treat it? I must treat it. If you are unwilling, just think of it as Brother Chen owes me. When he comes back and becomes an official, I will ask him to pay me back."
Mentioning Chen Xiaoshan, a hint of smile appeared on their faces. "Hey, as for him, it's all about living a good life. As for whether he will become an official or not, we can't force him to do that."
Xu Wanyan nodded. "Don't worry, he will definitely have a bright future. By then, you certainly don't want your father to be unable to even get out of bed, right?"
Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen looked at each other, and then Aunt Chen was about to kneel down.
"Auntie, you are... you are trying to torture me."
"No, I just don't know how to thank you, my dear girl, you are the benefactor of our family!"
Xu Wanyan smiled and said, "Auntie, don't think too much. The most important thing right now is to heal your leg."
"Yeah, okay, okay."
Both Aunt Chen and Uncle Chen had tears in their eyes.
"Auntie, I see your location is so good, why don't you do something to make a living?"
Aunt Chen smiled shyly, "I, as a woman, can't do it. I'm afraid."
"What are you afraid of?" Xu Wanyan was a little confused.
Could there be a Street Fighter?
Thinking of this possibility, Xu Wanyan's expression changed.
"I've been doing this for two or three months now, and people are always asking for protection money. We don't actually make any money, so where can we get the money to pay it?"
Xu Wanyan's expression was startled. Sure enough, she guessed right.
"Auntie, what are you going to do?"
"I can mend clothes. You know, life is hard these days, and worn-out clothes need mending."
"Yes, my wife's sewing skills are amazing. Most people can't tell that it was sewn later."
"Auntie, starting tomorrow, you will continue to set up a stall at the door to mend clothes."
"Then what should we do when those people come?"
"Don't worry, they won't dare to come tomorrow as long as I'm here."
"Girl, girl, you are a Bodhisattva, right? You are a real Bodhisattva, right?"
Xu Wanyan laughed, and Qiao Yun and Leng Ning also laughed.
"Our princess is not a Bodhisattva..."
"What? Princess?"
