An Hongdou almost understood what he heard.
The Lu family is a wealthy family with great wealth and power, so naturally they suffered a lot these days, and their yard was also occupied by others.
Lu Qi specifically mentioned the butler, thinking that the butler must have played a significant role in all this.
Turning back, An Hongdou asked him, "Why are you telling me this?"
"I would like to ask my sister for help." Lu Qi walked in and said.
An Hongdou smiled self-deprecatingly, "You think too highly of me. If you need food, I can help you, but I'm just a little village girl and I don't have any other special skills."
Lu Qi took out the money that An Hongdou had just left from his pocket, handed it over, and said sadly: "What my grandma and I need most right now is not money. Besides, even if we take the money, we can't buy anything without the ticket."
An Hongdou was really at a loss. "I don't have any tickets on me, but if you need them, I can get you some later. As for the money, no one would mind if it's hot. I'll always be able to use it if I keep it."
"Sister, you've seen my grandma's health condition, I'll just say it straight." Lu Qi's voice was choked with sobs and a slight plea, "You still have extra food at a time like this, you must be a capable person, can you help me get some ginseng? Grandpa Zhang said that my grandma's health can only be nurtured by ginseng, maybe she can live another two years."
After saying this, Lu Qi couldn't help but shed tears.
He quickly wiped it with his sleeve, sniffed and said, "Don't worry, sister, I won't let you do it in vain. I still have some good things in my hand, I can give them to you."
What Grandma Lu took out were actually things she had prepared long ago. For a wealthy family like theirs, it was natural that they would not have only so few good things, but they just didn't dare let outsiders know.
An Hongdou was quite curious, "Do you have anything else?"
"Sister, come with me." Lu Qi pulled An Hongdou and walked towards his room.
Lu Qi's room was very simple, with only a wooden bed that looked like a makeshift structure and a set of tables and chairs.
He took out a box from under the bed and opened it in front of An Hongdou.
It was wrapped in a layer of silk cloth, and inside the silk cloth was a white jade bowl. He stretched out his little hand and took out the white jade bowl. Only then did An Hongdou see that there was a dragon pattern carved on the bowl.
Lu Qi handed the bowl to An Hongdou, "Sister, feel it."
An Hongdou placed her hand on the white jade bowl, which felt soft and smooth. The sunlight just happened to shine in, making it look even more crystal clear, as if emitting a bright light.
An Hongdou didn't know much about antiques, but she could tell that this was no ordinary item.
She carefully withdrew her hand, looked at Lu Qi with complicated eyes, and couldn't help but kindly warned: "Little guy, don't take out this kind of thing easily in the future, otherwise, I'm afraid it will bring you a fatal disaster."
Fortunately, it was her I met this time. Although she loves money, a gentleman gets money in a proper way. She would not rob money by force.
But if it were someone else, that might not be the case.
"I know. I didn't show it to anyone else except my sister. I know your sister is a good person and she will definitely not harm me." Lu Qi looked at An Hongdou with eyes full of trust.
"How do you know I won't harm you? You know, you should always be on guard against others." An Hongdou rubbed his head and said.
Lu Qi was very confident. "I just know that my sister will definitely not harm me. Besides, if grandma can't survive, I, a child, will definitely not live long. What's the point of having these things?"
Although he is young, he is not stupid.
We have come to this point only out of necessity.
An Hongdou is a kind-hearted person, and she is the only one he can hold on to now.
The things that grandma took out were of little value, so she didn't feel bad about exchanging them. The things in the house were assets left by ancestors, so Grandma Haodong was reluctant to take them out.
But as he said, if grandma was gone, how many days could he live alone? Then what’s the point of keeping these things at home?
It would simply benefit those petty thieves. In this case, it would be better to take it out earlier, perhaps in exchange for the lives of their grandparents and grandchildren.
An Hongdou had to say that although Lu Qi was a child, he was surprisingly insightful.
"Okay, put your things away quickly. I promised to help you find ginseng, but I can't guarantee that I can find it." An Hongdou has the wood-related ability, so she can produce ginseng immediately if she wants it.
But she did not immediately agree to give it to him. It was not because she was thinking about Lu Qi's things, but ginseng was something that could not be found by chance. It was too unrealistic to just say that it would be available.
However, Lu Qi did not listen. Instead, he wrapped the bowl and put it in a box, then handed the box to An Hongdou.
"Sister, whether you find ginseng or not, I'll give this to you." Lu Qi lowered his head with a sad look, "If ginseng can save my grandma's life, then this will be a thank you gift to you. If it can't save my grandma, I will definitely not live long. There is no point in keeping this thing, so it's better to give it to sister."
An Hongdou couldn't be sure whether Lu Qi was sincere in what he said, but facing such a well-behaved child who said such touching words, it was hard not to feel sorry for him.
"Your grandmother probably doesn't know that you are giving this thing to me, right? If I accept it, wouldn't I be a bad person who deceives a child? What's more, you don't even know my name. Aren't you afraid that I will take the thing and run away?" An Hongdou asked.
"Although grandma doesn't know that I took this, she said that as long as it keeps me alive, she would be willing to give away this house." The old lady now wants to leave more things, simply for the sake of her little grandson to rely on.
If she really valued these material possessions, she wouldn't have dragged her sick body to the black market to exchange for food. She just wanted to give Lu Qi more protection after her death!
An Hongdou still didn't take the jade bowl, but this time she said something with some certainty, "Be obedient, put the things away quickly, and when sister comes over again, I will definitely bring you the ginseng."
When An Hongdou left, she suddenly felt a little melancholy.
After coming into this world, she seemed to become more emotional.
Xiaoxiao was in a daze. She wanted to leave, but was stopped by the lady who came out from next door.
"Comrade, how did you get out of this family? What is your relationship with them?"
An Hongdou didn't know the woman in front of her, but seeing the direction she came from, she began to doubt her identity.
Because she was the one who lived in the half of the yard of their house that Lu Qi pointed out was sealed off.
