When Fang Qingdai returned home, she saw Aunt Lu sitting on the edge of her bed, holding Qingluan in her arms.
Aunt Lu's eyes were red and swollen, and she looked dazed. She appeared to be in very poor mental condition!
Fang Qingdai was startled and quickly called out, "Aunt Lu? What's wrong...?"
Aunt Lu snapped back to reality upon hearing the voice. Seeing that it was Fang Qingdai, she instantly became excited: "Qingdai, don't be afraid. I've asked your Uncle Lu to buy some medicine. Qingluan will definitely be alright!"
"Definitely not!"
It was less about comforting Fang Qingdai and more about convincing himself!
Aunt Lu is acting strangely!
Fang Qingdai quickly stepped forward, trying to take Qingluan from her arms, but found that Aunt Lu was holding her very tightly.
When Fang Qingdai reached out to catch Qingluan, she even reflexively turned to the side to dodge!
"Aunt Lu!" Fang Qingdai raised her voice and gently interrupted Aunt Lu's resistance.
"I have medicine! Give it to Qingluan, I'll feed her the medicine!"
Qingluan herself was extremely dependent on Fang Qingdai, and her heart was always in a state of unease.
After Fang Qingdai left, the little girl never actually fell into a deep sleep, no matter how uncomfortable she was.
Upon hearing Fang Qingdai's voice, Qingluan opened her eyes early and stretched out her arms, waiting pitifully for Fang Qingdai to take her in.
Seeing this, Aunt Lu seemed to finally come to her senses, and the excitement in her eyes gradually subsided.
"Take your medicine...yes, take your medicine..." Aunt Lu murmured, reluctantly handing Qingluan to Fang Qingdai.
Fang Qingdai carried the burning-hot Qingluan back to the bed and, without a moment's delay, fed Qingluan the pale green medicine.
"Qingluan, take your medicine and sleep peacefully for a while. You'll be fully recovered when you wake up!"
"Don't worry, I won't go out today. I'll stay home and watch over Qingluan!"
Having received Fang Qingdai's promise, Qingluan curled up on the bed and drifted off to sleep.
Fang Qingdai coaxed the person to sleep, then turned to look at Aunt Lu.
Aunt Lu didn't leave. She stood in the cramped shack the whole time, staring blankly at Qingluan.
His gaze was unfocused; he was actually looking through the blue phoenix at another figure!
Meeting Shang Qingdai's gaze, Aunt Lu forced a smile.
"Qingdai, I'm sorry, Aunt Lu lost her composure today." The middle-aged woman said with tears in her eyes and her voice full of sorrow.
"Your Uncle Lu and I once had a daughter, who was about the same age as Qingluan..."
The rest is self-explanatory; Fang Qingdai could guess the gist of it.
She sighed softly, reflecting on the impermanence of life, and at the same time, she had found her answer in her heart.
The reason why Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu gave such helpful advice before was probably because they knew that the original owner of this body had a younger sister who was about the same age as their daughter.
Taking in Qingluan later was also to make up for the regret.
However, the fact that the couple went against the flow of people to try to find Qingluan when the strange beasts were harassing them, and even went to Zhang Chengjie for help after failing, is enough to show their genuine love and care for Qingluan.
"It's alright, Aunt Lu. I should be thanking you for taking such good care of Qingluan!" Fang Qingdai didn't want to rub salt in the wound, so she naturally avoided the sensitive topic and thanked Aunt Lu with a smile.
As they were talking, Uncle Lu came over in a hurry, holding a bright green C-grade potion in his hand!
Fang Qingdai's heart trembled slightly!
An ordinary superhuman can only earn a little over one or two hundred points a month.
But Uncle Lu and his wife were just ordinary people in the shantytown, and even if they followed Zhang Chengjie to do some tasks, they wouldn't earn much money.
They even struggled to make ends meet.
These 100 points could very well wipe out the couple's entire savings!
Even though she knew this care was an attempt to make amends for their former daughter, Fang Qingdai was still deeply moved.
"Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu, I apologize for not making it clear before I left. I've already bought medicine for Qingluan... but I'll take this one from you too. Qingluan is still young, and she's bound to get sick sometimes. I'll keep it as a backup!"
They only paid for Qingluan's sake, and now that they don't need her anymore, Fang Qingdai can't pretend to be stupid.
"That won't do!" Uncle Lu quickly waved his hand to refuse Fang Qingdai's compensation after learning that Qingluan had already taken the medicine.
"This was a decision your aunt and I made ourselves. If we don't need it, we don't need it. How could we let you bear the extra cost of medicine for nothing!"
Aunt Lu nodded in agreement, and the couple prepared to leave as they talked.
Fang Qingdai dared not owe such a huge favor!
Taking advantage of her youth and agility, Fang Qingdai quickly stepped forward, grabbed Aunt Lu's identity bracelet, and transferred one hundred points into it without saying a word!
The original owner's identity bracelet had 18 points remaining. Two points were paid when they entered the base earlier, leaving 16 points.
Selling water and wooden basins brought in a total of 189 points. Adding what was left over, I now have 205 points.
After buying the potion, Fang Qingdai had 105 points left. She also bought a stack of plastic bags on her way out of the city, which cost her two points. Now, she has 103 points left in her account.
After buying the medicine from Uncle Lu, there are only three points left to cover!
Fang Qingdai groaned inwardly, but dared not show it on her face. After all, the debts of gratitude are the hardest to repay, and she had to settle this debt no matter what!
"Oh dear! You child, I've already said no, no, what are you doing!"
Paying points doesn't require the other party's consent; it's like modern QR codes for payments—anyone can scan it to pay.
Fang Qingdai was as nimble as a monkey, and in the blink of an eye, she had scanned the points. Aunt Lu was so anxious that she slapped her thigh after realizing what had happened!
Seeing that the two were about to start fighting again, Fang Qingdai quickly took the medicine from Uncle Lu's hand, turned around and went into her own shack, locking the door behind her!
"Uncle Lu, Aunt Lu, Qingluan is still asleep, let's not fight and disturb the child!"
Through the door, Fang Qingdai laughed wildly.
We also have to thank Uncle Lu for helping to repair the shack, so that this house has a decent door, which is perfect for keeping Uncle Lu and his wife out of sight!
Outside the door, Uncle Lu and his wife looked at each other, hesitated for a long time, but were still worried about really waking Qingluan, so they didn't dare to knock on the door and call out.
"Forget it, Qingdai doesn't want to owe us a favor, so let's just let it go."
Uncle Lu pulled Aunt Lu back, both of them looking worried.
"That girl just bought one potion, and now she's bought all the ones we have. Where did she get so many points? Has she used up all her savings?"
"Everyone has their own way of doing things. I heard that the two girls' parents were both superhumans, so it's not surprising that they have some savings."
Only after the noise had faded into the distance did Fang Qingdai finally relax completely.
Thinking of all the points she had lost, she winced in pain.
They dare not sell water in large quantities in the short term, but the family has no other source of income for the time being.
Knowing that she couldn't just sit around and do nothing, Fang Qingdai immediately pulled out the stack of plastic bags she had brought back that day!
So many "blind boxes" to open!
Fang Qingdai rubbed her hands together, ready to make good use of these useless things as soon as her energy recovered!
