Shi Nian's eyes immediately turned red.
She knew that her aunt didn't dislike eating meat.
It's because I can't bear to part with it.
Meat is actually not expensive at all.
In affluent neighborhoods, meat is so cheap that they use it to feed their pets.
But for this family, meat is considered very expensive.
It was so expensive that the aunt couldn't bear to eat a single bite and saved it for her son.
Shi Nian originally wanted to speak.
But a sudden soreness rose in my throat.
Just then, the son saw Shi Nian.
He immediately became excited, patting the bed: "Shi Nian!! Mom! Shi Nian is here again! She's brought us fruit and rice again!"
Upon hearing this, Zhan Xiuchen glanced at Shi Nian.
Shi Nian did not bring anything with her today.
But the fact that the other party said such a thing shows that Shi Nian often brings things here.
What his mother said next confirmed Zhan Xiuchen's guess.
Mom groped her way over and said, "Niannian, why are you here again? I told you not to buy anything. I know your family isn't well-off. Your grandparents are so old. Don't buy anything for us!"
Shi Nian swallowed hard.
She was smiling, but her voice was filled with endless bitterness: "Auntie, I didn't buy anything, I didn't buy anything."
Because I brought Zhan Xiuchen with me today.
Therefore, Shi Nian did not bring anything with him.
Upon hearing this, her mother immediately smiled and said, "That's good, that's good. You're just too kind, child."
Even though I'm not happy with my own life.
But she still kept thinking about the mother and son.
...
Shi Nian didn't bring anything with her.
But when he left, he secretly slipped two banknotes into his hand.
Because sometimes my grandfather, sometimes my grandmother, Xiaocao, and Xiujuan live in my family.
Shi Nian was also in a difficult situation.
But she still managed to save some money.
“Mr. Zhan, Auntie is blind and can’t see anything, but she still has to do handicrafts every day to support herself and her son.” Shi Nian said softly, “She can’t see and her hands and feet are slow, so she wants to earn money. If others work for ten hours, she will work for twenty hours.”
"Even with all that hard work, the money she earns is still so meager; she can only buy a tiny bit of meat each time," she said.
Shi Nian suddenly couldn't continue speaking.
The bitterness and hardship involved cannot be expressed in just a few words.
Just then, she was suddenly pulled into an embrace.
That was Zhan Xiuchen embracing Shi Nian.
The man rested his chin on Shi Nian's head: "Shi Nian, you'll get better."
Shi Nian suddenly pushed Zhan Xiuchen away.
With red eyes, she glared at Zhan Xiuchen: "No! It won't get better! Auntie is getting older and older! She won't even be able to do handicrafts anymore!"
"And what about us? We poor people are already struggling to protect ourselves, how much can we help?"
After saying that, Shi Nian looked up at the sky.
The weather is so nice today!
The sky was cloudless and the sun shone brightly.
Shi Nian said, "It's not raining today, so you didn't see it. Auntie's house is a tiled house, and she's lived in it for many years. Whenever it rains, the raindrops patter down."
"Auntie needs to bring a basin to catch the rain so the bed won't get wet."
"And at night, the aunt can't sleep all night because she has to keep emptying the water in the basin, otherwise it will overflow!"
"So I really wanted to repair Auntie's house so that it wouldn't leak and she could sleep peacefully. But I couldn't do it. People in the slums only earn a limited amount of money. All I could do was buy her fruit and oil."
At this point, Shi Nian's eyelashes trembled heavily.
She said, "But in wealthy neighborhoods, people with disabilities don't have to worry at all. They receive care and subsidies and live a worry-free life. But Auntie and her son were born in a poor neighborhood."
"In the eyes of the rich, they are people with lowly blood! And to make matters worse, they are crippled! In the eyes of the rich, such people should just fend for themselves! Isn't that right!"
Shi Nian's sharp question was like the sharpest knife, piercing Zhan Xiuchen's heart.
It made his heart skip a beat!
It even made him momentarily dazed.
Does Shi Nian already know that he is the president of Country A?
Why would she question him so sharply?
