"Unable to cope with her husband's death, the daughter-in-law fell seriously ill and passed away, leaving behind a pair of young children."
"Well, even though the villagers don't have it easy, at least we can sometimes have enough to eat and buy new clothes every two or three days. But Grandma Wang has to raise her grandchildren all by herself. I don't know how much hardship and fatigue she has endured."
"Sometimes when I see Grandma Wang bending over to work in the fields, I feel so sorry for her that I go to help her for a while. But no matter what, I can't do it all because I still have work to do at home."
Goudan's mother then came out and said, "After dark yesterday, I saw the children were not at home, so I went outside to look for them. I ran into Grandma Wang, and she told me the children were in the fields."
Listening to the villagers' discussions, Mengyue couldn't help but feel a little sorry for the old man.
So she went forward and helped Grandma Wang up, saying softly, "Grandma Wang, you don't have to pick them up. I'll give you five cents for these locusts."
"And the injuries you sustained in front of my house are for you... When I'm not busy, I'll go to your house and take a look."
Seeing that Grandma Wang's family was in such a difficult situation and that someone had stepped on her doorstep, Mengyue came here and wanted to give her one or two taels of silver for medical expenses.
But seeing so many people in front of my house, I suddenly realized that money can move people's hearts.
Grandma Wang has only grandchildren at home, and it is a combination of the elderly and the weak. It is probably difficult for her to keep the one or two taels of silver, so it would be better to give her the things directly.
Besides, she can completely cure the injuries on Grandma Wang’s body.
So he took out five coins and put them in Grandma Wang's hand.
Grandma Wang was feeling sad and was forcibly helped up by someone. Before she could wipe the tears from her eyes, she saw a fairy-like girl supporting her.
Worried that she was too dirty and would soil the girl's dress, Grandma Wang tried to "break free" from Mengyue's hands.
But before she could do anything, the girl said that the locusts she brought were worth five cents.
One catty costs one penny, and five pennies will get you five catties of locusts.
She knew very well that the locusts she and her grandchildren caught did not weigh five pounds, but the girl wanted to give her five cents. How could this be possible?
"Girl, these locusts weigh less than five pounds. They are not worth five cents. One cent is enough."
Mengyue was very touched to see that Grandma Wang lived a life of hunger but remained kind and was unwilling to take more money.
"Grandma Wang, I'm Mengyue. If I say it's worth five cents, then it's worth five cents. Don't worry, just take it."
Grandma Wang stretched out her hand, wanting to take the copper coin, but when she saw her rough, dark hands, she shrank back and wiped them hastily on her clothes, but the clothes were already dirty, and the more she wiped, the dirtier they became.
Mengyue saw Grandma Wang's inferiority complex, so she directly held Grandma Wang's hand and put the five copper coins into Grandma Wang's hand.
"Grandma Wang, please stay at my house for a while. I'll take you home when I'm done."
"No need, my dear girl. Grandma Wang can walk. I'm going to the fields to catch locusts with my grandchildren."
Grandma Wang tightly grasped the five cents and said happily.
Seeing that Grandma Wang could maintain an optimistic and open-minded attitude in any environment, Mengyue's heart was also infected.
However, when things at home are almost arranged, she will still go to visit Grandma Wang.
