After reading my mind, everyone collectively begged me to watch the drama unfold!

"Uncle, do you need any help with farm work? There are three of us."

The three walked for a long time, asking many villagers questions.

I saw an old man sitting by the roadside smoking, so I went up to ask him something, not expecting much, but I still wanted to ask.

The old man took a deep drag of his pipe, exhaled a smoke ring, and tapped the pipe against the stone a few times with his right hand.

Seeing that the old man didn't reply, he asked again.

"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"

The old man seemed to only then understand, and looked up at them, "Any kind of work is fine, but what about housework? Farm work can be done in the afternoon."

Lin Guiyi nodded repeatedly at the unexpected answer.

“Yes, yes, sir,” Lu Anyi replied excitedly.

The old man glanced at Lu Anyi, scanned the area up and down, then looked away, got up and walked forward.

The three exchanged a glance and hurriedly followed.

The three followed the old man into the courtyard. The appearance of the house came into view. The courtyard was very clean. The house was a bit old and looked quite old, but you could still see the owner's careful care.

The old man pointed to a room and said, "The old woman is inside. Go and talk to her." Without giving anyone a chance to react, he turned and left, his destination unknown.

This old man's attitude was terrible; it's not that all farmers are kind and honest.

{Upstairs, who told you that? There are bad people in every industry, and the old man didn't do anything wrong, yet you're bashing him online.}

{Judging from this, their task doesn't seem difficult; the other two groups must be exhausted.}

The old man had already left, and we couldn't call him back. Fortunately, judging from what he said, there were people inside.

"bang bang bang"

The door opened, and a woman came out.

"Who?"

"Aunt Zhang!"

"Guiyi, what brings you to my house?"

Lin Guiyi was very excited to see that the woman who came out was Aunt Zhang, whom he had met yesterday, and told her about his mission.

"We just met the old man, and he brought us here."

"Oh, it's so good that you came to help me. Here, have some water first." Aunt Zhang's voice was full of joy as she led the three people into the living room, poured them some water, and handed it to them.

Lin Guiyi picked up the glass and took a sip.

"Guiyi, how do you know the people in the village?" Lu Anyi asked quietly, his voice low, even though they had all come together.

Lin Guiyi covered her mouth slightly and told the two about her encounter with Aunt Zhang yesterday.

"Wow, what good luck!" Lu Anyi exclaimed excitedly. It seemed that Aunt Zhang was a nice person, and the task shouldn't be too difficult.

Lin Guiyi asked Aunt Zhang, "Aunt Zhang, what needs to be done at home? Just tell me."

Aunt Zhang waved her hand, "There's nothing to do. We'll all cook together later, and then the task will be done."

"Aunt Zhang, you're too kind. Besides, there are cameras watching, so we can't afford to slack off. In addition, we'll treat you to a meal after we help out, and that'll make up for it."

Seeing that Lin Guiyi had already said this, Aunt Zhang was no longer embarrassed and said directly, "Well then, there is a room in my house that needs to be cleaned up. You can clean the room."

"Okay, thank you, Aunt Zhang."

Lu Anyi looked around and asked in confusion, "Aunt Zhang, is it just the two of you in your family?"

These words immediately made Aunt Zhang's expression turn somber. She sighed and slowly said, "My son and daughter-in-law had an accident, and now only my granddaughter is left."

"I'm sorry, I didn't know." Lu Anyi looked embarrassed, realizing he had said the wrong thing.

"It's alright, it's all in the past now." Aunt Zhang waved her hand to indicate that it didn't matter.

Seeing that Lu Anyi was still ashamed, Lin Guiyi spoke up to help her out: "Aunt Zhang, where does your granddaughter go to school now? A few of us will go pick her up and take her home at noon."

The air was silent.

The three of them watched as Aunt Zhang's face turned pale, filled with grief, as if all her strength had been drained away, her voice hoarse: "This child fell down a slope while playing a year ago and broke his leg, which hasn't healed yet."

Well, Lin Guiyi could now understand Lu Anyi's feelings. The air seemed to freeze, and Lin Guiyi's heart skipped a beat. He felt a surge of panic and frustration. He wanted to say something to make amends, but his throat felt like it was stuck, and he couldn't utter a suitable word for a long time.

Aunt Zhang is so pitiful. Her son and daughter-in-law passed away; she must be so heartbroken. Why does misfortune always seem to befall the poor?

Haha, Lin Guiyi's expression is hilarious, I'm going to make it into a meme!

{The little girl is so young, and she's already going through this. I want to donate money to help them, sob sob.}

{Oh my god, Aunt Zhang's life is so hard. If her granddaughter doesn't get better, Aunt Zhang will have to take care of her for the rest of her life. I hope the little girl can cheer up, otherwise what will she do in the future?}

"Aunt Zhang, could you take us to see the girl? I know some famous doctors who might be able to help you." Gu Qingye's voice was like timely rain.

Lin Guiyi and Lu Anyi looked at Gu Qingye with gratitude. She was amazing.

Aunt Zhang's eyes lit up, and she asked excitedly, "Really? Will it cost a lot of money? Can I pay in installments? Will it be difficult?" Aunt Zhang's voice gradually faded.

"It depends on the hospital, but major hospitals usually have subsidy policies now, and I know them, so I'll do my best to help you." Gu Qingye's voice was calm, but her words were heartwarming.

"This, this is really too much trouble for you, thank you, thank you." Aunt Zhang quickly stepped forward, knelt down on the ground, and thanked her repeatedly.

Aunt Zhang's sudden movement startled everyone. The three of them immediately stood up and bent down to help Aunt Zhang up.

"No, get up quickly."

"Aunt Zhang, don't be like this, let's go see your granddaughter first."

"Yeah yeah."

Aunt Zhang calmed herself down, got up, and led the three of them to the girl's room.

“My granddaughter’s name is Xiaoyi. She should be looking at a book right now,” Aunt Zhang introduced, knocking on the door. “Xiaoyi, I’m coming in. A few older brothers and sisters want to come in too, is that alright?”

"Come in, Grandma." The little girl's voice was clear and bright; she didn't seem to be discouraged by her injury.

Open the door, and the entire room is revealed.

In the simple room, sunlight streamed through the window, casting dappled patterns on the floor. On the bed, a little girl, about seven or eight years old, lay against the headboard, a book beside her. Her gaze was fixed on the doorway, her eyes clear and determined, revealing a hint of curiosity and joy at the arrival of her handsome older brother and sister.

Lin Guiyi and his two companions went up to greet her. The little girl was very happy, her eyes sparkling.

He even talked to them about the contents of the books he was reading, gesturing with his hands, and he was clearly very excited.

Aunt Zhang was very happy to see her granddaughter like this. Since her granddaughter broke her leg, no one had come to play with her anymore.

The two old folks also have to work, so they can't take care of everything at the same time. Their granddaughter can only read books in her room and occasionally make some small things to pass the time. Fortunately, their granddaughter is sensible.

But deep down I still feel heartbroken that such a young child has to endure such immense suffering.
