Chen Feng glanced at them and saw that Huang Lina and Cao Jiachen had taken out about two thousand yuan in cash in total, which was a considerable amount for the old man who lived a poor life.
The old man only accepted fifty yuan and returned the rest of the bills to the two women.
"Although I am poor, I do not extort or beg."
“My injury isn’t serious. Fifty yuan is enough to buy two boxes of blood-activating and stasis-removing plasters.”
"I appreciate your kindness, but I cannot accept the remaining money."
"If you are truly sorry, take this traffic accident as a lesson, keep it in mind, and be sure to be more careful in the future."
"After all, once you're driving on the road, you're not just holding the steering wheel, but also the safety of pedestrians on the road."
Witnessing this scene, Chen Feng couldn't help but sigh, thinking to himself that the old man was truly a kind and generous person. If Huang Lina had encountered a troublemaker, things would definitely not have ended so easily today.
"You should go back right away."
The old man immediately told them to leave, "I need to prepare breakfast for my wife. The house is small, so I won't keep you any longer."
"Grandpa, you're injured and have difficulty moving around, so please don't bother."
Chen Feng said, "We'll go buy you some breakfast right away."
The old man wanted to refuse, but before he could speak, Chen Feng continued, "This is our way of expressing our apologies to you. If you don't even accept this, we will be unable to eat or sleep."
"Well... okay then."
After thinking for a moment, the old man finally nodded in agreement, "Just buy some cheap breakfasts, and don't buy too many. Remember not to be extravagant."
"clear."
Chen Feng smiled, then turned and left with Huang Lina and Cao Jiachen.
"Cao Jiachen, go to the breakfast shop next door and buy a few steamed buns and two bowls of millet porridge. Also, top up your account with 300 yuan and tell the owner to deliver breakfast to the old man every morning until the prepaid amount is used up."
Chen Feng instructed, "Huang Lina, there's a supermarket at the street corner ahead. Go and buy some fruit. Remember to choose varieties that are low in sugar but high in nutritional value."
"And what about you?"
Huang Lina asked with displeasure, "You assigned us tasks, you're not going to do nothing, are you?"
At this moment, Huang Lina completely forgot that she was the one who caused the traffic accident and had nothing to do with Chen Feng. Even if Chen Feng really did nothing, it would be perfectly reasonable.
"Besides, what's the point of you making us do all this?"
Huang Lina questioned, "The old man won't even accept our money, so how could he accept the fruit and breakfast we bought?"
"There was a bag of medicine next to the old lady, and the name of the pharmacy across the street was written on the bag."
Chen Feng was too lazy to argue with this "little fairy," so he pointed to the pharmacy across the street and said, "I'll go ask the old lady what medicine she usually takes and buy some."
“If the old man doesn’t want your money, then you should exchange it for things they need.”
“We don’t live in the commercial street outside the school. We don’t need the pre-stored breakfasts and fruits from the breakfast shops or the medicine for treating Alzheimer’s disease. I don’t believe the old man won’t accept them.”
"Oh, right."
"Huang Lina, you pay for the medicine, and remember to reimburse me later."
After saying that, Chen Feng put his hands in his pockets and leisurely crossed the road.
Huang Lina stared blankly at Chen Feng's retreating figure.
This guy showed no sign of panic. On the contrary, he was very thoughtful and arranged the aftermath in a few words.
Is Chen Feng really my age?
"Lina, stop daydreaming."
Cao Jiachen gently nudged Huang Lina and reminded her, "Let's go to the supermarket quickly."
"Okay, sure."
Huang Lina then stopped her wild thoughts and walked towards the street corner.
...
Twenty minutes later, the three returned, delivered the various items they had purchased to the convenience store, and walked out amidst the old man's sincere thanks.
"Chen Feng, the old man's family's plight is so heartbreaking."
Cao Jiachen's eyes reddened, and her voice choked with sobs, "Do you have any way to make their lives a little easier?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Lina's lips practically curled into a smirk.
"Given the old man's stubborn nature, it's already the limit that he'll accept the things we buy. Under these circumstances, you actually expect Chen Feng to have a way to improve the old man and woman's living standards? Cao Jiachen, Cao Jiachen, do you really think Chen Feng is omnipotent?"
Of course, Huang Lina only thought these words in her heart and did not say them out loud.
Chen Feng had just helped her handle the aftermath, and she openly "disrespected" him...
Doing this is somewhat tinged with ingratitude.
In fact, even if Cao Jiachen hadn't said anything, Chen Feng would have wanted to help the old man.
Moreover, Chen Feng also has the ability to help the two elderly people.
Don't forget, the students of Gucheng Finance are all active users of Douyin. As long as Chen Feng makes the two elderly people's plight public on his website and advertises this small convenience store, the kind and enthusiastic college students can empty the convenience store in no time.
However, if Chen Feng really did this, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction among many merchants.
We spent a lot of real money to advertise on Douyin, and we had to queue up according to the time of payment. In the end, just because the old man was pitiful, you gave him priority in promotion and even gave him free code?
The complexity of human nature goes far beyond superficial kindness and wickedness. Not every heart is filled with compassion, and not everyone will feel sympathy for the unfortunate.
If kindness is left unchecked, it is like a wild horse that has broken free of its reins; the consequences of its out-of-control behavior will not only harm others but also oneself.
Having lived two lives, Chen Feng understood this principle all too well.
So here's the question.
How can we help the old man without getting ourselves into trouble?
"Chen Feng, is my request... putting you in a difficult position?"
Seeing Chen Feng frown and remain silent, Cao Jiachen cautiously asked a question.
"Is there even a question? His predicament was written all over his face."
Huang Lina couldn't hold back any longer. "Jiachen, I know Chen Feng is your idol, but there's a fundamental difference between an idol and a god who can turn the rotten into the magical. Don't get them confused."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Feng took out his phone and called "Ordinary Young Master Fu".
He came up with a good idea to help the old man.
That is to borrow the "TikTok" model from the previous life and shoot a video of visiting the old man's convenience store on the website.
Fu Jiahao is indeed Chen Feng's roommate, but he has no affiliation or business cooperation with Douyin.
No matter how dissatisfied Douyin's partner merchants are, they cannot criticize what kind of content an ordinary Douyin user uploads.
