Landlady who likes to hoard land

The girl was very well-behaved, holding a toy doll, sitting quietly on the bed waiting for the woman.

"Youyou, I just heard your mother call you that. Is your name Youyou?"

The girl turned her head, looked at Wang Chengyu with clear and bright eyes, and nodded.

"Yes, Auntie, my name is Youyou."

The girl was very polite, and Wang Chengyu liked her even more.

"What grade are you in? Why aren't you going to school?"

The girl looked serious.

"Auntie, I've finished second grade, and I'll be going to third grade next, but I'm sick. My mom said I can only go to school when I get better."

Wang Chengyu's mind went blank for a moment. It wasn't that woman who was sick; it was this girl who was sick!

Can such a young child get cancer? She couldn't imagine how such a young child would cope with the pain of chemotherapy.

"I'm sorry, Auntie didn't know Youyou was sick."

"It's okay, I'll tell Auntie, and she'll know. Auntie, you don't need to be sad, Youyou is very strong."

Hearing the girl say that, Wang Chengyu felt even more guilty for his rashness.

He turned around, took a peach from the orchard in his spatial garden from the bedside table, and handed it to the girl.

"Youyou is so strong, Auntie will treat you to a peach."

The girl swallowed hard as she looked at the peach in Wang Chengyu's hand. The peach looked so delicious. She loved peaches the most, but they were too expensive at the fruit shop this season, and she hadn't eaten one in a long time.

But her mother said she couldn't just take things from other people. She struggled to look away from the peaches, then glanced at Wang's mother lying on the bed, and smiled at Wang Chengyu.

"Thank you, Auntie, but I won't eat it. Save it for your sick grandma; getting injections is very uncomfortable."

Wang Chengyu saw the longing for peaches in the girl's eyes. How could such a sensible girl be sick? Wang Chengyu stepped forward and put a peach in the girl's hand.

"Here, have this. It's already washed, you can eat it directly. Auntie also saved some for Grandma."

"puff"

Suddenly, the ward door was pushed open forcefully by someone, startling everyone inside, including Wang's mother, who was also awakened by the sound.

"Mom, isn't Hanghang amazing? Hanghang pushed the door open!"

The boy's excited voice came from outside the door.

"Wow, my baby is amazing! You managed to push open such a heavy door. You're so strong!"

The boy's mother was clearly very satisfied with her child's behavior, praising him endlessly without thinking.

Wang Chengyu was furious. What kind of person was this? They had no manners at all. This was a hospital ward, and the patients living here were all suffering from the double torment of the disease and chemotherapy.

Anyone with a conscience wouldn't let their child act so recklessly.

The elderly man in the bed by the door opened his eyes when the door was pushed open. Hearing the conversation at the door, he looked embarrassed and turned to the others in the room to speak:

"I'm sorry, this is my grandson. He's at a very mischievous age, so please bear with him."

Since the old man had said that, Wang Chengyu couldn't say anything more. Considering that the old man was sick and still reasonable, Wang Chengyu didn't hold it against him.

The boy and woman outside the door didn't come in; they just stood there talking.

At this moment, the old man's son stood up.

"I'm sorry to have startled you, Mom. I'll go out and check."

After the man finished speaking, he walked out and closed the door behind him.

Wang Chengyu heard faint sounds of arguing coming from outside the door, but couldn't make out what they were saying. The old man in the ward kept sighing.

A while later, Youyou's mother returned after paying the bill. Seeing the peach in Youyou's hand, her expression darkened slightly, and her brows furrowed.

"Youyou, did you ask someone for food?"

Wang Chengyu quickly explained

"Your daughter didn't want it; I insisted on giving it to her. She didn't dare eat it because you weren't here. It's just a peach; don't criticize her."

Wang's mother also spoke up.

"Let the girl eat the peach."

Seeing her daughter looking at her with pleading eyes, Cui Ying's eyes welled up with tears. Youyou was her only daughter, and ever since her daughter was diagnosed with cervical cancer six months ago, she felt like her world had collapsed.

She couldn't understand how an eight-year-old child could get such a disease, especially a high-risk one.

The doctor said that if a child this young gets cancer, it is most likely from the fetus, or it could be caused by the estrogen medication she took during pregnancy.

She cried, made a scene, and complained, but to no avail. She and her husband mustered their strength to take their daughter to see a doctor.

She usually takes care of Youyou herself. Because Youyou is young, the medications she uses have the fewest side effects, which are more expensive.

Her husband works in a factory and earns less than 10,000 yuan a month.

These wages are barely enough to cover daily expenses and the cost of each chemotherapy session.

To pay for Youyou's medical treatment, the family lived a frugal life, and the only time they would improve their meals was by buying her a fish after each round of chemotherapy.

She knew her daughter liked peaches, so she carefully budgeted every penny, saving on any extra expenses she could.

My daughter is very sensible and has never asked for anything on her own initiative.

Cui Ying usually tells her daughter not to accept things from strangers, and her daughter is very obedient and never accepts things from strangers. Today, she must have really wanted to eat, which is why she accepted someone's kindness.

Seeing the longing look in her daughter's eyes, she couldn't bear to let her return the peaches and could only thank her.

Thank you all, my daughter loves peaches.

Wang Chengyu quickly waved his hand, "No need to thank me, the peaches have been washed, you should let Youyou eat them."

Cui Ying looked at her daughter, "Youyou, thank Auntie and Grandma first before you eat."

Seeing that her mother didn't object, Youyou smiled with her eyes crinkling.

"Thank you, Grandma. Thank you, Auntie."

"Eat up, and if you behave tomorrow, Grandma will give you another peach as a reward."

Wang's mother knew how painful chemotherapy was; even she, an adult, couldn't bear it, let alone such a young child. Therefore, she felt very sorry for the little girl.

Seeing that the girl liked peaches, he couldn't help but want to find a reason to give her peaches.

"You two are too kind. It's just a peach, please eat it."

Wang Chengyu felt a little embarrassed after being thanked repeatedly.

"Okay! Youyou will be good."

Youyou happily agreed and began to eat the peach in small bites.

This peach is so delicious! I can't finish it all at once; I have to eat it slowly.

Wang Chengyu looked at the old man on the bed near the door, took a peach and handed it to him.

"Auntie, have a peach too."

The old man quickly thanked him.

"thanks, thanks"

"Auntie, you don't need to be so polite."

Seeing that Wang Chengyu had also given a peach to the old man next door, Cui Ying felt a little relieved.

[Congratulations on your merit points for giving peaches to others and showing kindness.]

Wang Chengyu was a little confused by the voice in his head, so he gave away two peaches and gained three merit points. He figured he could just give peaches to others every day from now on.

He shook his head. Such an act with impure motives certainly wouldn't earn him any merit. The fact that he received three merit points was definitely related to the little girl's illness. He decided to stop daydreaming.
