When Lu Ming saw her, he immediately reached out and hugged her, gently patting her back to comfort her.
"If you want to cry, just cry as much as you can. You'll feel better after you cry. Since the system has promised you, they must be fine. We have to believe it."
In the end, Lu Ming himself was unsure. The man who claimed to know everything disappeared after they came here, and the one who came out later made him feel very insecure.
"Is there anyone as comforting as you? Can't you just comfort me properly?" Zhang Anan was almost laughed out of anger by him. Even though she wanted to cry, she couldn't cry after he said that!
"I don't know how to comfort you! Just stop crying. They must be wondering how you're doing. Don't be sad and don't make them worry. Be good!"
Lu Ming reached out and wiped away the tears still hanging from the corners of her eyes.
"Well, my grandparents are old, and I don't know how their health is. I don't know if my uncle and aunt are treating them well."
What Zhang Anan cares about most are her grandparents.
…
Far away in another time and space, in Lingguo, Zhangjia Village.
An old man in a middle-aged shirt with his hands behind his back was standing in the yard, looking up at the bright moon covered by dark clouds under the dark night sky, his eyes full of longing.
"Old man, why are you out again? It's late, go get some rest! Don't take advantage of your good health and ruin yourself like this! Put it on quickly!"
A woman who looked about the same age as him came out with a cloak in her hand, muttering something.
"Alas, I couldn't sleep, so I got up to get some fresh air in case I disturbed you."
"You're showing off by wearing so little clothes and blowing in the wind! You think you're a young man! Put this on quickly." After saying that, he asked for help to put it on him.
"Hey, hey, I can do it myself. Why are you up too? Did I wake you up?" He asked as he put on the shawl. He couldn't sleep because his thoughts were too messy.
"No, I'm the same as you! I can't sleep. I don't know how An An is doing over there. I don't know if it's better or worse over there than here. We don't know."
Zhang Anan's grandmother, now known as Old Lady Zhang, reached out and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Oh, I just can't sleep thinking about these things. She's a poor person too. Both her parents died when she was young. Even though you and I take care of her, it's nothing compared to the care of her own parents. Plus, we have other things to do and are always busy, so there are always times when we neglect things. But I've never seen her come to me to complain about anyone."
The former great general of the country, now Mr. Zhang, felt more and more uncomfortable the more he spoke. He always thought that he would not be bullied because he had his own care.
Now I understand that my excessive care for her might be the source of her bullying. That silly child never said anything. How silly.
"Oh, what a poor child. It was because of her that our family escaped this disaster. If it weren't for her, who knows what would have happened to us. I would rather she didn't do this and think more about herself."
"She has always been a sensible child. I wonder if she is scared and if there is anyone to help her because she is alone in a strange place."
"Don't think about it anymore. You'll see him soon. It's useless to think about it now. It will only make you unhappy. You should think about your disappointing sons!"
Old Mrs. Zhang got angry when she thought about this. Their family used to have a high status, but everyone has become selfish, which made her very angry.
"Don't worry about them. The family is divided now, so let them do whatever they want! When we leave, we won't be able to care so much. Let them do whatever they want.
We can't take your things with us, so you can divide them among your wives! They have suffered with our family, and this is all we can do for them now."
"Whatever I had left, I used it up, and gave them what was left. I gave it to them.
They are still thinking about the little bit I have. They were the ones who instigated all those bad things. The rest is what I left for my children, so I have to think about it."
"It's up to you. If you don't want to give it, then don't give it. We won't be able to carry it for much longer. I just don't know if what it says is reliable. If something unexpected happens, it will be a big deal."
"Oh, there is something that your great general is afraid of."
"I'm a human being too, how can I not be afraid? This is something unknown and I'm afraid of it. Don't tell me you're not afraid."
"Afraid? Of course you're not afraid. Go and rest quickly. If you don't go now, it will be dawn soon."
"Yawn, I need to rest for a while, I'm feeling sleepy."
…
Zhang Anan didn't know what happened in Lingguo.
At this time, she was sorting and organizing the pile of jewelry, and she even set aside a box of her own to store them.
"This is obviously a good product. This owner must be very wealthy or noble. I have a similar one, but it's not as good as this one. Take a look."
Zhang Anan picked up a bracelet and placed it in front of Lu Ming, then took out a similar one from her warehouse.
Both look great individually, with good quality and texture. When placed together, Lu Ming understood what she meant by good quality. The one in front is obviously much better looking than the one in the back.
"I can see it now when you compare it like this. I wouldn't understand it just by looking at it."
"That's why I said this family must be either rich or noble. This is already very ordinary among the bunch. There are also some that look very high-end. Mine is still one of the better ones in my group. They are so much inferior to the others."
"Why don't you keep all of this for yourself."
Zhang Anan immediately shook his head.
"I don't want it. I have it all myself. This bracelet was left to me by my mother. Even though it's not the best, it's the best in my heart. I don't want one that someone else has used. I want you to make me a new one later."
"Okay, we'll make new ones. You put these away! We can exchange them for money to make new ones for you later." Lu Ming hugged her and was about to throw her into the box.
"Get out of my way," Zhang Anan, who was originally a little sad, disappeared instantly when she saw him packing up his things.
"This is not the way you put it. You have to sort it out so it doesn't get damaged. If you pile it all together like this, some of it will become unusable after a while."
Seeing that he didn't understand, Zhang Anan explained.
"You can do it yourself and put these together. I feel that our side is not as safe as yours. I will find some time to move more things from the space to your side."
Lu Ming didn't know why he said such words at the moment, it felt like he did it unconsciously.
"It would be best if my bag is filled up, then I'll be happy." Zhang Anan accepts everyone who comes.
"You clean up, I'll go clean the box and see what material it's made of. It looks pretty good."
Lu Ming felt that it was very beautiful in style and very sturdy. Even though the lock was rusty, it was still in good condition and he couldn't see any damage to it.
"You better rub it well. It's a good thing. Let the children take us to see where they found the bottom tomorrow."
