At this moment, when Aunt Zhang saw that Song Yuli and Nangong Yu were empty-handed, she immediately turned her face away. Especially when she saw Song Yuli's fair and beautiful face and the stunningly handsome Nangong Yu beside her, a trace of jealousy flashed in her turbid eyes.
"If there's no waste, what are you doing here?"
Song Yuli smiled at her in a friendly manner, then pulled Song Zening aside and said in a gentle tone, "I heard that my younger brother just sold some scrap metal to you, but you didn't give him any money, so I came to check on him."
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Yuli interrupted Zhang Sao, saying, "Not only this time, but I heard that you didn't give him any money last time, the time before last, and the time before that. Zhang Sao, you may not know, but my grandmother's health is not very good, and we are waiting for this money to buy medicine for her."
As soon as Song Yuli finished speaking, Song Zening pouted and said pitifully, "Aunt Zhang, my grandma has been sick for several days. We've run out of medicine. If you don't give me money soon, my grandma will just have to wait to die."
Hearing what Song Yuli and Song Zening said, Aunt Zhang was furious.
Her garbage recycling station wasn't far from their village, and she knew everything about their family situation.
Seeing that they were even willing to say things like "let the old man wait to die" just to get money, she gritted her teeth in anger.
She really didn't want to give that brat money to buy medicine for that old geezer.
If it weren't for that old geezer who stopped her from marrying her son back then, she wouldn't be in such a state now.
But looking at the oppressive man beside Song Yuli, and Song Yuli's smiling face, Zhang Sao suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest from anger.
She was certain that if she didn't give them money today, the whole village would be filled with the news that she had withheld Song Zening's money and left Song Zening's grandmother to die at home.
She looked at Song Yuli and Song Zening with a gloomy gaze, then swayed her hips as she went back to her room.
After a while, she came out with a crumpled wad of money and handed it to Song Yuli: "Here you go!"
Song Yuli didn't move, but Song Zening quickly snatched it away.
He counted the money with practiced ease, then breathed a sigh of relief, carefully stuffed the money into his pocket, and then looked at Aunt Zhang with a smile.
"Thank you, Aunt Zhang. You're so kind. I'll come back to sell my trash and recyclables here in the future."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhang snorted coldly, gave him a cold look, and then turned and went home.
Upon seeing this, Song Yuli led Nangong Yu and Song Zening back the way they came.
"Thank you, Grandma. If it weren't for you, Aunt Zhang would never have given me the money so easily."
Song Zening looked at Song Yuli with gratitude.
Song Yuli shook his head: "It's nothing, Aning. Your grandma is sick. Where's your dad?"
Upon hearing this, Song Zening immediately lowered his head and said, "Dad went out to work."
After hearing this, Song Yuli couldn't help but sigh: "I understand. Go and buy medicine for your grandma. Also, the exams are coming up soon, so remember not to skip school again."
Song Zening nodded before leaving.
Only when Song Zening's figure became a tiny dot did Song Yuli turn his gaze to Nangong Yu.
"Okay, let's go home."
Nangong Yu glanced at her and sneered, "Heh, now you finally remember me."
