Chapter 105

After calming down, Xia Yunxuan called out from outside, “Xingyu, it’s your sister. Are you home?”

Xingyu had been eagerly waiting. When he heard the voice, his face lit up with a smile. He knew his sister was a good person, unlike the others who always tricked him.

“Sister, sister, you’re finally here. I’m home,” Xingyu said, running out. Seeing Xia Yunxuan carrying so many good things, he swallowed. But his grandma had taught him that it’s not good to covet other people’s things.

Xia Yunxuan: “Xingyu, your sister is here. Won’t you invite me in?”

Xingyu rubbed his hands, feeling awkward. “Sister, our house is messy and small. People used to look down on us and never came in.”

Xia Yunxuan: “Don’t worry, I’m not like that. If I were, I wouldn’t have exchanged with you.”

Xingyu led Xia Yunxuan into the inner room. As expected, it was a small, dark room with a bed, a few stools, and a cooking area.

Hearing footsteps, the old woman lying on the bed tried to sit up, but she was too weak. She asked in a weak voice, “Xingyu, who’s here? Help grandma up.”

Xingyu immediately ran over and helped his grandma sit up on the bed. The old woman’s eyes were cloudy and she couldn’t see clearly. She could only see a blurry image of a beautiful Girl.

The old woman said, “Little Girl, our place is small and simple. I hope you don’t mind. It must be my grandson who called you. Don’t blame him, he’s young and doesn’t understand.”

Xia Yunxuan: “Old lady, your grandson is very sensible. He secretly told me that his grandma is sick and needs some grain. He wanted to trade something with me. Do you know, old lady?”

“Little Girl, I know. I allowed it. My grandson has suffered with me. He’s so young and has to bear so much. It’s all because I’m useless.”

Xingyu: “Grandma, don’t say that. You’re the best grandma in the world. After my dad passed away, my mom ran off with someone else. If you hadn’t raised me, I might not be alive today. So, grandma, I’m so grateful to you.”

The old woman coughed violently. Xingyu quickly poured her a glass of water. She took a few sips and felt better. The old woman said, “Xingyu, from now on, pretend you don’t have that mother. Even if you see her outside, don’t acknowledge her, okay? She’s heartless and doesn’t deserve to be a mother. You were so young when she abandoned you.”

“Grandma, I know. She probably forgot about me. I saw her once outside, and she pretended not to recognize me and walked away. I don’t have a mother like her anymore.”

Seeing Xia Yunxuan still standing there, the old woman said, “Little Girl, don’t mind our humble place. Just sit wherever you like.”

Xia Yunxuan sat down and beckoned Xingyu over. “This is the grain you wanted. I’ll tell you, you need to hide it well. You and your grandma need to drink a cup of malted milk every morning. It’s good for your health, you know?”

The old woman: “No, no, little Girl. I know my grandson only took some worthless things. How can we let you spend so much money? Malted milk is a precious thing. This old woman can’t waste it.”

Xia Yunxuan: “Old lady, even if you don’t care about yourself, don’t you care about your grandson? He’s still young. What will he do if you’re gone? Will he be called a homeless orphan?”

“So, taking care of your health is the most important thing. Once you’re healthy, you can take good care of your grandson. Old lady, you must be sick. I know a little bit about medicine. If you trust me, I’ll check you later and prescribe some medicine for you. That way, you’ll recover faster.”

“Xingyu, I know you’re very sensible. You must hide these things well. Don’t let anyone know. You need to drink malted milk too. Don’t be stingy. You’re still growing. Otherwise, you won’t grow tall and won’t be able to find a wife.”

Hearing his sister say he would need to find a wife, Xingyu blushed and lowered his head. He whispered, “Sister, thank you. I understand.”

Xia Yunxuan: “Old lady, can I take your pulse? Do you mind? Your illness must have been going on for a long time, and you haven’t been treated.”

The old woman: “Little Girl, thank you. It’s so embarrassing. My last name is Xu. You can call me Grandma Xu.”

Xia Yunxuan: “Grandma Xu, it’s no trouble. It’s just a coincidence that we met today.”

Xia Yunxuan finished speaking and took the old woman’s hand. After taking her pulse for a few minutes, she switched to the other hand. After finishing, Xia Yunxuan already knew the general situation. The living conditions were poor, the food was bad, and her body couldn’t hold up. She had serious stomach problems, and she had caught a cold, which had led to pneumonia.

Xia Yunxuan used her bag to cover her hand and took out some cold medicine and pneumonia medicine from her space. “Xingyu, come here. I’ll tell you how to take this medicine.”

Xingyu: “Okay, sister, thank you for treating my grandma. When I grow up and have the ability, I will definitely repay you.” Xia Yunxuan patted Xingyu’s head without paying much attention.

Xia Yunxuan: “This medicine needs to be taken three times a day after meals. Just follow the dosage I wrote down and give it to grandma. Got it? Grandma’s body is weak. Do you have any eggs? Boil some egg soup for her or make some porridge. Once she’s better, you can give her some dry food.”

“Xingyu, go pour a glass of water. Watch me feed grandma once, and you’ll know how to do it.”

Xingyu remembered carefully and immediately poured a glass of water. Xia Yunxuan used her sleeve to cover her hand and dropped a drop of spiritual spring water into the glass. This would help Grandma Xu recover faster.

Xia Yunxuan took the medicine and fed it to Grandma Xu according to the dosage. After she swallowed the medicine, Xia Yunxuan immediately handed her the water. “Grandma Xu, you must finish this glass of water. Maybe your illness will be half gone.”

Grandma Xu thought Xia Yunxuan was just coaxing her to take the medicine. She didn’t think much of it and finished the water.

After a few minutes, she felt much lighter and didn’t feel like she was struggling to breathe. She said to her grandson, “Xingyu, go get the box under the bed for grandma.”

Xingyu quickly retrieved what his grandma needed. The old woman took it and opened the box. Xia Yunxuan was almost blinded by what she saw. My goodness, a box full of treasures. This old woman must have had a high status before.

Old Madam Xu took out a pair of ice jade pendants and a complete set of phoenix crown and wedding dress, including earrings, necklaces, and bracelets. Old Madam Xu said, “Little Girl, we have a connection. I’ll give you these things.”

“I’m old and afraid I won’t be able to keep these things one day. I know you’re a good person, little Girl. I’ll feel at ease giving them to you.”
