Reborn before the famine, kicking away the scumbag's family and living a carefree life.
Chapter 158 Going Home (8)
Su Jinru followed Old Qiu inside. Upon hearing the noise, Old Lin had already sat up in bed and was leaning against the headboard.
Su Jinru handed the stewed chicken, still in the pot, to Old Qiu.
"Old Qiu, I stewed a chicken, it's still hot! Quickly, serve Old Lin a bowl of soup."
"This... is way too expensive!"
"I secretly raised them myself, and I have so many! I can't even eat them all, so you can eat them without worry!"
Su Jinru was telling the truth, but Old Qiu and Old Lin thought she was saying it on purpose to appease them.
In this day and age, people might not eat meat for months, yet she said she had plenty at home that she couldn't finish. This wasn't just nonsense; it was just to comfort them.
Why...why are you so good to us?
"I see that you are not in good health, are old, and are from out of town. You don't have any relatives here, so you face all sorts of inconveniences. Isn't it only right that I care about and help you?"
"But we are xxx, and many people avoid us like the plague! You still bring us food, help us buy medicine, and even give us such precious food."
“I don’t care who you are. I only see two elderly people in distress who need help. Haven’t we always valued respecting the elderly and caring for the young? I only know that if I don’t help you, I will feel guilty.”
Seeing that the two elderly people fell silent after hearing her words, Su Jinru said, "Eat it while it's hot!"
As he spoke, he went to find bowls and chopsticks.
There were only two bowls, an enamel mug, and a pot in the house.
Old Qiu poured a little porridge from the pot into a bowl, then poured the chicken and soup back into the pot.
She returned the empty pot to Su Jinru.
"Aru, besides saying thank you, I can't think of anything else to say. You are a good person, and we can't drag you down. Please don't come again."
Old Lin also said, "Aru, don't worry! I'm much better now. We appreciate your kindness, and we hope that you and your family are doing well. So, please don't come here anymore."
What a kind old man! Even though he's already in such a state, he's still thinking of others.
"Mr. Lin, are you really feeling better?"
"The fever has subsided, the headache is gone, and I have a little more energy."
Su Jinru felt relieved.
Actually, she was afraid that others would see her close relationship with the elderly couple and cause her trouble, so she deliberately chose to visit them at night.
However, she was also prepared to be discovered, because she was determined to help these two elderly people no matter what, even if it meant being implicated, she would not regret it.
Su Jinru took out the kerosene lamp.
“I noticed you don’t have any kerosene lamps here, so I brought you one. This is kerosene; it should last you a while.”
"You've gone to so much trouble, even with such a small thing, you've done it so thoughtfully."
"There are no electric lights here, and we can only use kerosene lamps for lighting at night. It's quite inconvenient without kerosene lamps."
"Old Lin, please take good care of yourself. I'm relieved to see you feeling better. I'll be leaving now and won't be able to visit you for the next few days. If you have any urgent matters, please feel free to come to me. My house is about 400 meters down from the public housing of the Third Production Team, the one with a big banyan tree in front of it."
Old Qiu: "Okay, okay, you don't need to come anymore. If we have something urgent, we'll come to you."
Su Jinru returned home, washed up, and went to bed.
The next day, Su Jinru continued to study in the space.
She also studied the cultivation of medicinal herbs.
If she stays by Yuan Wenjie's side in the future, she may have fewer opportunities to enter the space, and planting grains may not be suitable, so she will plant medicinal herbs instead.
For example, ginseng.
The longer ginseng is cultivated, the better.
Ginseng grown in this space for a year is equivalent to ginseng grown for ten years in the real world in terms of quality. Moreover, because it is irrigated with the spiritual water in this space, it is more effective than genuine wild ginseng.
Su Jinru first planted five hundred ginseng seeds under the fruit trees.
As someone who came from a farming background, she knew a lot about crops, but planting ginseng was a first for her, so she had to conduct experiments first, which she could only do on the open ground under the fruit trees around the fields.
She researched other medicinal herbs and felt that ginseng was more cost-effective, so she decided to plant some ginseng first to see how it goes.
After dinner, I realized she had been back for three days, so I should go and see how Jin Gui was recovering.
Su Jinru picked some grapes from her spatial storage and went to Jin Gui's house.
The reason Su Jinru didn't visit Jin Gui for four days after returning home was because she knew that many people would be visiting Jin Gui's house during those days, so she wanted to wait until there were fewer people to visit.
It's already the fourth day, so there should be fewer people coming to visit Jin Gui by now!
But as soon as they arrived near Jingui's house, they heard Dingxiang's voice say, "Thank you all for your concern. Jingui is out of danger now, but the doctor said he needs to rest. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of people visiting him every day. If he sees them all, it will affect his rest. Please understand. I will pass on your good intentions to him."
As Dingxiang spoke, she pulled out a notebook.
“Look, this was written by my son Qiangzi. It says who visited us on which day. We’ve noted all of that down, and we’ve also remembered your kindness.”
The visitors said, "In that case, we won't bother you any longer. We brought some things with us..."
"No, no, no, I can't take the things. I'll tell him about your feelings."
"It's nothing valuable, don't look down on it."
"No, how could this be considered disdain! These days, everyone has a hard time. You can keep these things for yourselves."
After some polite refusals, Dingxiang ultimately declined the gift.
During this time, Su Jinru hid to the side and watched.
Su Jinru only came out after those people had gone far away.
"Sister-in-law Dingxiang".
Dingxiang, who was about to enter, stopped closing the door when she heard Su Jinru's voice.
Dingxiang looked around warily, then pulled Su Jinru inside and closed the door.
“Aru, you don’t know! There have been so many people coming to see Jin Gui these past few days, a wave every few minutes. Jin Gui simply can’t handle it, so I have to turn them away.”
Su Jinru: "Is Brother Jin Gui resting now? Maybe I should come back in a few days!"
"No rest, Mayor Wang. Sanbao and the militia captain are inside. Hurry up and go in!"
Su Jinru followed Dingxiang into the house, and sure enough, Jin Gui was half-reclining on a bed in the main room.
Surrounding them sat Mayor Wang, Sanbao, and the militia captain from the township government.
Su Jinru paused, somewhat hesitant.
"Did I come at the wrong time? What are you discussing?"
Jin Gui waved to Su Jinru.
"Aru, something's wrong, it's about you. Come here quickly, if you don't come today, I'm going to have Dingxiang go to your house to call you!"
