Chapter 307: Whether to Live or Die, Let’s Leave it to Fate
Approaching noon, Luo Qiao said, "Grandma Lin, I wasn’t lying, was I? I really can’t finish all this. I’ll bring some over tonight, and you mustn’t decline."
This time Old Lady Lin didn’t say much but took out the twenty yuan from her pocket and handed it to Luo Qiao, "I’ll shamelessly accept the food, but I really can’t take the money."
Luo Qiao said, "Grandma Lin, you know my situation. I’ve recognized my birth parents, and when I went to Capital City during the National Day, I received so many red envelopes that I’m truly well-off now.
This money doesn’t come with any strings attached. I just thought that if you run into an emergency, it’ll be convenient to have some cash on hand. These twenty yuan aren’t of much use to me now, but it’s different for you. Can you understand what I mean?"
Old Lady Lin wiped her eyes with her sleeve, "I know, it might even be lifesaving money, but your Grandpa Lin’s hospital stay already cost you quite a bit. I truly feel ashamed."
Luo Qiao said, "Look at me now, I’ve found my parents, and the days ahead won’t be as hard. Isn’t this my good fortune? Can you still fuss about such things with me within my means?"
In the end, Old Lady Lin relented and carefully put away the money.
The entire afternoon was spent tidying up the homestead. After dark, Luo Qiao stealthily brought five big baskets of sweet potatoes and three baskets of potatoes to the Old Couple of the Lin family.
