Thinking of her own heart and consequently others in a sordid way, Song Lan's expression turned cold. To be honest, based on the memories left by the original owner of this body, her impression of Chen Dongze wasn't particularly good or bad. Even though Chen Dongze had visited her before going to the countryside, her impression of him at that time was still just so-so.
At this moment, however, Chen Dongze's impression on her was absolutely terrible!
He appears to be quite intelligent, and with his good looks and demeanor, he could be considered a gentle and refined gentleman. However, the words he is about to utter... are truly unacceptable.
"..."
Chen Dongze was stunned, and at the same time, felt deeply hurt.
Why is it that his heart is so dirty?
He... he just likes her, he just doesn't want to see her with other men, and he said that in a moment of impulse. Why should he be belittled like that?
Yes, in Chen Dongze's view, Song Lan's statement that his heart was dirty was a complete denigration of him, implying that he was a despicable person with filthy thoughts!
Why do you dislike him so much? Why can't you forgive him for the mistake he made when he was blinded by greed?
How is Chenchen doing lately?
Ignoring Chen Dongze, Song Lan smiled and asked Xiao Yu, and the two walked slowly towards the thatched hut not far away.
"Okay."
Xiao Yu responded.
"Where are Grandpa Xiao and the others?"
Song Lan asked again.
"Everything is fine."
Xiao Yu felt a warmth in his heart. As he and Song Lan walked towards the thatched hut, he had already taken the things Song Lan was carrying. This showed that the former Prime Minister Xiao did not want to pretend to be aloof and refuse Song Lan's help.
But he will remember Song Lan's help. Well, to be precise, Song Lan's help last time has already been remembered by Xiao Yu and the Xiao family.
It's easy to add flowers to brocade, but difficult to provide charcoal in the snow!
However, for the Xiao family, Song Lan was undoubtedly a timely help.
To put it simply, if Song Lan hadn't appeared that day and offered help without hesitation, the Xiao family would have inevitably faced the pain of losing a loved one.
Even though he was just a young child, he was still a blood relative of the Xiao family and Xiao Yu's son. If they had to watch the child die, the sense of powerlessness and despair they felt would be unimaginable to anyone who wasn't completely devoid of conscience.
Faced with such a heavy blow, the elderly members of the Xiao family may collapse one by one, or even worse.
For example: He fell seriously ill and died in agony.
Watching Song Lan and Xiao Yu's departing figures, Chen Dongze's eyes were filled with hurt and frustration.
After a long while, he looked away, glanced at the military green canvas bag in his hand, his mind in turmoil, and finally took the same path back to the educated youth compound.
This is the thatched hut.
Song Lan took out the things she brought one by one. Looking at the malted milk powder and milk powder, as well as rice, wheat flour, millet, minced meat and other food and daily necessities that she placed on the table, everyone in the Xiao family, including Xiao Yu and Xiao Douding, was stunned.
Almost all of them were rare and in-demand items, and they were laid out on the table like this. What exactly is the relationship between the young girl in front of them and Xiao Yu?
After their initial shock, Grandpa Xiao and his wife, along with Xiao's father, all looked at Xiao Yu as if they had planned it together.
Even the little one followed suit, tilting his head and looking at his father curiously.
Feeling slightly uncomfortable under the gazes of his family, Xiao Yu knew they were probably thinking something unfounded. He coughed lightly twice, trying to appear normal, and said to Song Lan, "Didn't you bring a bit too much stuff?"
Just as Song Lan was about to speak, she heard the other person say again, "This will probably cost a lot of money and tickets, and they won't be easy to buy. You... you don't really need to do this."
"A lot?"
Song Lan smiled and said, "I don't think there are many things. Besides, these are all things you need, and since I have the ability to help you, I naturally want to lend a hand. After all, everyone encounters difficulties in life, and who knows, I might need your help someday. When that time comes, would you just sit idly by and do nothing?"
Song Lan said these words to everyone in the Xiao family. Seeing that the two elderly people with gray hair and Xiao's father were all deeply moved, Song Lan said with a light smile, "You can rest assured to accept them. I am definitely not trying to save face!"
"Child, I truly don't know how to thank you enough!"
This was the voice of Xiao Yu's grandmother. The old woman's eyes were moist as she looked at the flour, rice, and other food on the table. Her voice trembled slightly as she said, "We will all remember your kindness to our Xiao family. If we have the chance in the future, we will definitely repay your kindness!"
"Grandma Luo, I'll say it again: everyone encounters difficulties in this world, and Xiao Yu and I are friends. Helping you with this little thing is really nothing, you don't need to take it to heart."
The old lady's surname was Luo, so Song Lan addressed her as Grandma Luo.
Of course, calling her "Grandma Xiao" is not unacceptable, after all, the old lady married into the Xiao family and has been married to Grandpa Xiao for many years. However, with the original owner's memories, Song Lan knows that calling her "Grandma Luo" is undoubtedly more respectful to the old lady in front of her.
After all, this is a new society, not the feudal era where women had to take their husband's surname after marriage.
"How can you call it helping out a little?"
Grandma Luo wiped her eyes and said, "If it weren't for your acupuncture treatment that day to save Chenchen, he would probably have left us already. Besides, you left us such good medicine that day... and you had your family take care of us in secret. And today you brought so many things. Child, I am so grateful for your kindness!"
"Xiao Song, thank you so much. We really need these things you brought. I won't say anything too formal, just let me take them with you. If you ever need anything in the future, just ask me."
That's what they said, but Xiao's father was inwardly smiling bitterly. Given their family's current situation, if the little girl really needed help one day, what could they possibly do to help?
"good."
Song Lan smiled and nodded. Her reason for responding was not that she wanted to trouble the other party in the future, but rather to give a polite response and to avoid offending the other party so as not to make them think too much.
"Thank you, child!"
When Old Master Xiao spoke, his tone was exceptionally sincere.
Malted milk powder and milk powder are of great benefit to my wife and great-grandson's health.
"Grandpa Xiao, you're too kind."
Song Lan smiled, chatted with the Xiao family for a few minutes, and played with the little boy for a while before taking her leave.
"Your nourishing pills are very effective. My family members have seen a significant improvement in their overall condition after taking them."
Xiao Yu escorted Song Lan to her door. His eyes seemed calm, but they held a hidden tenderness. He said slowly, "It's so kind of you to come visit our family again today, and bring so many things..."
With a hint of amusement in her voice, Song Lan interrupted, "Alright, I've heard 'thank you' more than once at your house. If you want to keep thanking me, you don't have to."
Seeing that Xiao Yu's lips twitched, clearly about to say something, her clear and pleasant voice spoke first again: "Putting aside everything else, just the fact that we come from the same place and were once colleagues means that I should lend you a hand when I know you are in trouble."
Besides, I greatly admire Prime Minister Xiao's character; I can't just stand by and watch you struggle in this predicament.
