644 The Human World Is Too Bitter, I Don’t Want to Ever Come Back

Although lollipops were not worth much, Ji Qingyan’s heart was still filled with joy.

Apples, lollipops, and small gifts came one after another.

This feeling was much more interesting than being teased by Lin Yi.

Not long after, Lin Yi walked out with two bowls of noodles and two dishes.

!!
They would get sick of eating egg fried rice all the time, so Lin Yi changed the dish he served today.

“After dinner, put the things in the shop. I’ll sell them for you tomorrow. Don’t go alone,” Lin Yi said.

“That won’t do.” The old lady quickly refused. “We can do it ourselves. We can’t let you help us with everything. It’s not easy for you two to do business. We can’t be too thick-skinned.”

“What’s the big deal? Let me buy you something.”

“That won’t do either. We can do it ourselves.” The old lady’s eyes narrowed. It was a little bitter, but she was happy.

“Alright, let me know if you need any help. Just don’t stand on ceremony.”

“Thank you. Good people will be rewarded.”

The atmosphere in the store was very harmonious. Seeing the two of them happily eating Lin Yi’s food, Ji Qingyan rested her cheek on one hand.

She felt that she should help those who needed help when she could.

To her, this was also a form of luck.

…

For the next week, Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan’s lives did not change much.

Longxin’s work had slowly begun and was on the right track.

Liang Ruoxu had also put in a lot of effort to aid them.

Apart from that, Lin Yi also understood from Liang Ruoxu why Brown, the person in charge of the embassy, would treat him with respect.

Because the research center was already on the agenda, Brown, as the head of the embassy, had a lot of mediation work to do.

From this, he could also obtain huge profits, so he would naturally stand on Lin Yi’s side.

Lin Yi was quite pleased when he heard about this. Capitalism seemed to have its advantages.

With money, he would always be the boss.

Everyone would have to listen to his instructions.

During this week, the store closed at around eleven o’clock almost every day.

Every day, he would wait for the old lady and Wang Dongdong to finish eating before leaving.

After a few days of interaction, Wang Dongdong gained weight, and Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan learned the old lady’s name.

Pang Xiuhua was a simple and old-fashioned name.

During this period of time, Wang Dongdong, Ji Qingyan, and Lin Yi had become completely familiar with each other.

When Lin Yi bullied Ji Qingyan, he even dared to speak up for her.

As Ji Qingyan’s best friend, He Yuanyuan also knew that there were two special customers in the store.

One day, she even shamelessly extorted a lollipop from Wang Dongdong.

The morals of the world were really declining day by day.

Apart from that, Ji Qingyan also bought a lot of books for Wang Dongdong.

Sometimes, he didn’t need to go out to look for scraps. He would stay in Lin Yi’s kitchen and help wash the dishes. When he was free, he would stay at the side and read.

He was a very obedient and sensible child.

Ji Qingyan was also thinking about how she could help them better.

It wasn’t a problem to sponsor Wang Dongdong to go to school, and it wasn’t a problem to give them a house.

However, the real problem was that neither of them had a source of income.

He could help them for a while, but he really could not help them for the rest of their lives.

Therefore, Ji Qingyan had been thinking hard about this problem, hoping to come up with a perfect solution to solve it.

“Young man, you do it.”

As usual, Wang Dongdong helped to clean up the dishes after the two of them finished eating.

However, at this moment, the old lady called Lin Yi to the side.

Seeing this, Ji Qingyan found an excuse to leave Wang Dongdong in the kitchen.

The two of them obviously had something to say, and it was not good for others to overhear. Otherwise, the old lady would not be like this.

“What’s wrong?” Lin Yi asked as he sat beside the old lady.

The old lady trembled as she took out a red cloth bag from her pocket. There seemed to be a lot of things inside.

The old lady opened the red cloth pocket in front of Lin Yi.

Lin Yi saw that it was filled with money. One yuan, five yuan, ten yuan, and even a few fifty yuan notes. The rest were all coins.

Lin Yi didn’t know how much it was exactly, but it should be about eight hundred yuan in total.

“What’s the point of carrying so much money with you? If you run into bad people, you’ll lose it all,” Lin Yi said with a smile.

The reason why Lin Yi said this was to make her feel some sense of concern.

Because this might be all her savings.

The old lady grinned, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes piling up.

Although she was dirty, her smile was exceptionally clean.

“I don’t usually carry it with me. I specially took it out today.”

Lin Yi reacted quickly and guessed what she meant.

“Do you want me to save it for you?”

“Yes, yes, yes. Keep it for me.”

‘Keep?’

The difference of one word was like the difference between heaven and earth.

His mother’s thoughts seemed to be different from what he had imagined.

“You mean you want me to save it for you, not put it in the bank?”

The old lady smiled and nodded, revealing two rows of broken teeth.

“Yes, yes, yes. Save it for me.”

“Old lady, you’re outdated, right?” Lin Yi said.

“Physical storage is not as safe as a bank.”

“I don’t want to store it in the bank. I just want you to help me keep it.” The old lady said stubbornly.

“Just help me.”

“It’s not about whether I want to help or not,” Lin Yi said.

“I can guarantee that even if you leave it with me, I won’t touch it. Even so, I’m not as safe as the bank.”

“It’s not a matter of safety. It’s just that my body is getting worse day by day.” The old lady said.

“I’m afraid that one day, I’ll suddenly be gone. If that day really comes, I hope you can hand this money to my grandson. As for how he uses it, it is not my concern.”

Lin Yi pursed his lips, feeling upset.

“We’ll talk about this later. I’ve studied Huaxian medicine for a few years. I’ll take your pulse.”

Not only did Lin Yi have superb clinical skills, but with the help of the Pharmacopoeia of Internal Medicine, his Huaxian medicine skills were also very good. He could take her pulse and check her health.

“Young man, you know Huaxian medicine? How impressive.”

“Madam, don’t say anything.”

Lin Yi’s expression was serious because this would affect the diagnosis.

The old lady stopped talking, afraid of disturbing Lin Yi.

“How old are you this year?” Lin Yi asked.

“I’m already 86.” The old lady gestured with her fingers and said,

“That son of mine is also disappointing. If he had gotten married a few years earlier, I would have been able to raise my grandson properly.”

Lin Yi heaved a sigh of relief. Her heart wasn’t too good, and she had serious heart failure, but it was a normal phenomenon at her age.

However, she had to take it seriously in the future. If this continued, it might worsen at any time.

“Come and look for me early tomorrow. I’ll take you to the hospital.”

Lin Yi’s initial idea was to perform a cardiac stent surgery on her. This way, he could avoid a lot of risks and take care of her body. It wouldn’t be a problem for her to live for a few more years after that.

Otherwise, with her current state, it was indeed hard to say how long she would live.

“Huh? A hospital? I’m not going. That place is expensive. I don’t even have enough money to buy medicine.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll pay for all the expenses. You don’t have to spend a single cent.” Lin Yi said.

“Don’t even think about rejecting me. If you don’t come tomorrow morning, don’t come to my shop in the future. I also won’t take care of your grandson anymore.”

“Young man, don’t be like this,” the old lady said.

“I’m already so old. If I die, so be it. It’s not worth wasting money on me.”

“It’s not for you to say whether this money is wasted.” Lin Yi said.

“As long as you listen to me, you can live for another three to five years.”

“Let alone three to five years, I don’t even want to live for three to five days.” The old lady smiled and said, “I might as well die now.”

“What are you talking about? You have to rest well and take a good look at this world.”

The old lady smiled and cried.

“The human world is too bitter. I don’t want to see it anymore, and I don’t want to ever come back.”
