Chapter 2465 Poor Grandparents
"My grandma and I haven't eaten for two days. If we don't have anything to eat today, we will starve to death. That's why I came to rob you of your money."
"Are you and your grandmother from Tianshui Village?"
"Um."
"Since you and your grandmother are from Tianshui Village, how could you be without food? Didn't every family get a share of food last year?
Even if you and your grandmother didn't earn any money, the food per capita would be enough for you to eat for half a year. How could you run out of food so soon?"
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Liu Ke clenched his fists with hatred in his eyes. After a long while, he spoke: "My grandma and I's food was taken away by someone?"
"Who took it?"
"Stepmother."
"Your stepmother took away your and your grandmother's food. Doesn't your father care?"
"With a stepmother, there is also a stepfather. He is now hoping that my grandmother and I will die soon so that there will be no one to hold him back."
After hearing what the little boy said, Lu Xiaoxiao looked at him with sympathy. How unlucky must he be to have such a father? It was really miserable.
"Where is your home? Take me to see it." Lu Xiaoxiao said to the little boy.
"What are you doing at my house?"
"What are you talking about? I have to confirm whether what you said is true or not before I give you money. If you lie to me, then my money will be wasted."
"I didn't lie to you. Everything I said was true."
"Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. I only believe what I see."
"Okay, I'll take you to my house, but don't forget what you promised me."
"Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised."
"Come on, I'll take you to my house."
"Wait a moment?"
"What's wrong? Do you want to regret it?"
"No, I just wanted to ask your name."
"Liu Ke."
“Nice name.”
"My mother got it for me."
"Your mother must love you very much."
"Um."
Half an hour later, Lu Xiaoxiao arrived at Liu Ke's door. She looked at the rickety thatched house and asked Liu Ke, "Is this your home?"
"Um."
"Where does your father live?"
"county seat."
"Why don't you and your grandma move to the county town and live with your dad?"
"A year ago, my grandmother and I lived in the county town. Later, my stepmother disliked my grandmother and I for being freeloaders, so she instigated my father to drive my grandmother and me to live in the old house in the countryside."
"Your father did such an extreme thing and no one cared? Your grandmother should have more than one son, right?"
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Liu Ke fell silent, because the children born to his grandmother were all ungrateful and no one was willing to support his grandmother.
Seeing Liu Ke's expression, Lu Xiaoxiao could probably guess what was going on, so she said to Liu Ke, "Take me to see your grandma."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Liu Ke nodded, and then he took Lu Xiaoxiao into the house.
After Lu Xiaoxiao entered the room, she saw the old woman lying on the kang. She saw that the old woman had a gaunt face and was breathing more than she was breathing in. She said to Liu Ke, "Go and cook some porridge. If your grandma doesn't eat, she'll starve to death."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Liu Ke immediately turned around and ran towards the kitchen, but he stopped after a few steps, and then said to Lu Xiaoxiao anxiously and embarrassedly: "There is no food at home, so I can't cook porridge."
"I have some millet here. You can use it to make porridge." After Lu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she took out half a pound of millet from the space under the cover of a bag and handed it to Liu Ke.
