Chapter 319

"Young man, why are you here?"

"If I don't come again, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you grow old next time."

Yang Jun said this and walked into the house, and then found that the situation was a little different.

This time, Mr. Jin was not sick, but injured.

A strong smell of blood filled the room, and one could imagine that the wound must be quite serious.

"Don't try to remember it yet. I'll show it to you."

He sat on the edge of the kang and looked at the old man's legs.

His legs were wrapped up at this moment, and from the look of Grandpa Jin's face, one could tell that he was in great pain.

"It's nothing, just a cut by a stone. It will be healed in a few days." The old man said gritting his teeth.

Yang Jun did not touch his wound. Since it was an external injury, it was easy to deal with. But if it was an internal injury, he would not dare to touch it easily. If the bones inside were dislocated, he would have to use his bone-setting skills.

Speaking of which, Yang Jun has never used this skill since he learned it from Mr. Hu.

He was a little disappointed that he couldn't use it right now.

Then he took out a small bottle from his pocket and handed it to Mr. Jin.

"Drink this medicine once a day, and your injury will heal faster."

A little spiritual water was added in it, not much, mainly because his injuries could not be healed quickly, otherwise there would be no explanation.

The old man naturally believed in him because he was the one who cured his last illness.

He held the bottle tightly in his hand and pulled Yang Jun: "Young man, I'm really sorry to bother you. When I get better, I'll cook for you for free."

"Grandpa, there's no need to use the pot. You should take care of your health. Xiaoru is also very worried about you. You should take good care of the little girl."

Yang Jun sighed as he looked at the timid Jin Ru. Her life was full of misfortunes, as she almost became an orphan twice in a row.

The risk factor for Grandpa Jin these two times was not low. When he got older, if he fell ill, not only would his family lose their livelihood, but lying there would consume a lot of food. It would be impossible for a little girl to support the family.

The old man looked at his granddaughter with a complicated expression, then looked at Yang Jun, and suddenly said: "Young man, how about...how about Xiaoru being your child bride?"

Yang Jun stared at Mr. Jin with wide eyes and asked, "Why are you so abrupt?"

Of course he knew what a child bride meant. It meant that the little girl was betrothed to him at such a young age, and they could just get married when she grew up.

But Yang Jun is not that kind of person. Not to mention how old Jin Ru is now, he already has someone he likes, so it is impossible for him to do such a thing.

Besides, if the child bride thing were to become public, his reputation would be ruined, and who knows if it would cause trouble in the future.

"Mr. Jin, this is absolutely unacceptable. We can't follow backward ideas. Please give up this idea."

The little girl blinked at the two of them, not understanding what was happening for a moment, and had no idea that she was almost going to become someone else's wife.

The old man sighed upon hearing this, not knowing whether he was feeling relieved or regretful. He said, "Young man, don't misunderstand me. I'm afraid something might happen to me, so I want to find someone for Xiaoru to rely on. You're a steady person, and I think you're a good person, so I was a little wishful thinking. Don't be angry."

"I'm not angry, but Xiaoru's future can only be decided by herself. None of us have the right to decide for her now."

"If there are some difficulties at home, you can discuss it with me. It is not necessary to give Xiaoru away."

Giving the little girl to him as a child bride is just giving her to him to raise.

The old man nodded and said, "Life is really not easy these days. My family doesn't have any warm food every other day. It's really hard for the child to follow me."

He gritted his teeth and uttered a few words: "Wait, do you have any food to sell?"

Now that food is precious, everyone knows it. He is well aware of how unrealistic and excessive it is to make such a statement.

But there was really no food left at home, and he had no choice.

However, Yang Jun gave him a surprise. "We have food, but it's expensive."

"It's okay, I have money."

Grandpa Jin's eyes lit up and he quickly started searching around the pillow.

After a while, he took out a cloth bag, opened it, and found several big unity pictures lying quietly inside.

It's about twenty yuan.

"Show me how much you can buy."

Yang Jun was quite surprised. He didn't expect that the old man still had the family wealth to support him.

"About 200 kilograms."

Uncle Jin was shocked for a moment, and looked at Yang Jun with his mouth wide open, wondering if the food he was talking about was wheat bran.

"This is the price of corn flour." Yang Jun added.

"But you have to keep it a secret. I got this food from a friend with great difficulty. I don't mind sharing some with you, but I don't have much left."

He didn't lack the money, but he had to be polite and not reveal the fact that he had food.

The old man stammered a few times, but finally couldn't stand the dilemma and nodded, saying, "I won't tell anyone, don't worry, kid."

He looked at Yang Jun and then at Jin Ru. He understood clearly that Yang Jun sold his own food to him at such a low price just to take care of Xiao Ru and let her have enough to eat.

As a result, his previous idea became even more firm.

Yang Jun had no intention of staying at the Jin family any longer. Seeing that it was getting dark, he quickly said goodbye.

As for the food, he couldn't take it out now, so he could just deliver it tomorrow.

However, in order to provide an emergency for the two of them, he brought some gifts when he visited them, including a piece of meat and a few candies. At least they could have some meat soup tonight. As for cooking meat, he probably couldn't bear to do that.

"Brother, are you leaving?"

Although Jin Ru is young, she is becoming more and more sensible. She knows that Yang Jun has helped her grandfather several times and also gave her candy, so she naturally becomes close to this brother.

Yang Jun rubbed her little head and said gently, "Brother is going home. Can I come to see Xiaoru tomorrow?"

"Okay, brother will come tomorrow and Xiaoru will take you out to play."

She smiled sweetly, and her thin appearance seemed to have become more energetic.

Yang Jun turned and left, and she kept watching him as he walked away.

On the way, Yang Jun sorted out the food to be distributed tomorrow.

He looked at the mountains of food in his little world and began to have a headache.

"Having too much food stored isn't a good thing after all."

On the one hand, he didn't want to give the food away, but on the other hand, compassion kept flickering in his heart.

After all, he is not a cold-hearted person who cannot stand the sufferings of the world.

"At worst, we can just visit a few more villages."

He wanted to sell all the food at the lowest price to the people who needed it most, and it would be best if no one knew about his presence during the process.

So it’s best to sell it secretly at night.

Or you can also wait in Sanli Lane.

With the decrease in grain production, this street has not become deserted, but has gradually become lively. Now the number of people inside is almost three times that of before, and most of them are here to look for food.
