Chapter 1024: A story

Tang Xi raised her head and looked at the place where the old Grandpa and Grandma lived. Two words came to her mind: It was simple and clean.

Seeing Tang Xi, the old grandma moved her mouth.

“What did you say, granny?” Tang Xi couldn’t hear it clearly as her voice was too soft.

“My husband said that you’re welcome. This place is very simple and crude, so don’t dirty your clean clothes.” The old man said.

“Oh, no, it’s quite clean, much cleaner than my own bedroom.” Tang Xi said.

Hearing that, the old grandma smiled. She must be smiling happily. Tang Xi saw the corner of her mouth move a little.

As usual, the old man helped the old lady up and sat her down for a while. Then, he found a wooden bench outside and handed it to Tang Xi. In fact, the wooden bench was quite clean, but the old man still laid a layer of newspaper on it.

Then, he took out an orange from a black plastic bag hanging by the window and handed it to Tang Xi.

“Eat the orange. Don’t worry, it’s clean. It’s good.” “It’s very sweet and delicious,”the old man added.

Tang Xi took the orange passively. The orange was indeed good, but it was a little bit dry. Once, when she bought an orange and forgot to eat it, it was no longer fresh, so she threw it directly into the trash can. But now, the old man gave her such a dry orange as if it was a very precious thing.

Tang Xi was a little upset, but she didn’t say anything and kept the orange carefully.

“How’s the old lady’s health?” Tang Xi looked at the old man who was cleaning up and couldn’t help but ask.

“It’s a cerebral thrombosis. ” The old man replied.

“Why don’t you go to the hospital for treatment for cerebral thrombosis …” Tang Xi didn’t finish her sentence, but she knew that she sounded stupid.

Who wouldn’t be willing to receive treatment if they could? But the old man and the old woman didn’t have children?

Even if a child couldn’t afford to be cured, he wouldn’t live in such a place and be a Vagabond scavenging.

However, before Tang Xi could ask this question, the old man had already seen through the doubts in her heart.

After serving the Granny’s lunch, the old man told her his story.

It turned out that the old woman and the old man had a son. They used to live together, but when they found out that the old woman was sick, they went to the hospital and heard that she needed a long time to recuperate, so they drove the two out of the house.

“How can you do this? has your conscience been eaten by a dog?” Tang Xi immediately got angry and asked,””As a child, how can you be like this?”

She had never thought that there would be such a person in this era. Most importantly, she had seen him with her own eyes.

No matter how many words one said, seeing it with one’s own eyes was more convincing.

“Moreover, it’s legal to provide for one’s parents. We can Sue him.” Tang Xi said indignantly,”old grandpa, your son must pay alimony. I can help you hire a lawyer. As for the lawyer’s fees and other things, I’ll deal with them.”

The old man waved his withered hand and said,””There’s no need. So what if we win the lawsuit?”

“If we win, then …” Tang Xi stopped talking. If they won the lawsuit, they would get monthly alimony, but what would happen after that?

And then what? The old man wasn’t stupid. Since he didn’t do this, he must have a reason.

Tang Xi took a deep breath to calm herself down a little and continued to listen to the old man’s story.

After being driven out, the old man and the old woman had been relying on each other and started looking for jobs. However, because they were too old and their health was not good, no one wanted them.

Even if he wanted to be a guard, he couldn’t do it. In the end, he could only choose the lowest threshold to pick up garbage.

“Grandpa, do you want me to introduce you to a job? I can …” Tang Xi said.

“There’s no need to trouble my daughter. I can also earn some money by picking up scraps. ” The old man said.

“But this …” Tang Xi wanted to say that it was too dirty, but she felt that it wasn’t good to say it directly.

In fact, in Tang Xi’s opinion, even if she went to beg for food, it would be cleaner than going through the garbage.

“It’s not embarrassing to pick up trash and rummage through garbage. You eat with your hands, but it does have some impact on the environment. It’s just like if you go to a city and see people rummaging through garbage, you’ll have a bad impression of the city.” The old man clapped his hands, feeling a little uneasy.

Therefore, the old man would avoid people and rummage through the garbage at night. During the day, he would walk around to see if there were any plastic bottles and cardboard on the ground.

Tang Xi learned from the old man that there were more and more plastic bottles on the street in the past two years.

“Don’t look at us like this. I even bought her a birthday present on her birthday. ” The old man took out a music box from a small red bag in the corner.

The entire thing was a crystal glass ball, and inside the glass ball was a Merry – go – Round. As long as the spring was turned, beautiful music would come out, and the merry – go – Round inside would also spin.

It was very beautiful. For the old couple, it must be very expensive. The old man said that the old lady loved music boxes the most.

“Don’t look down on her age. She still likes these things that little girls have.” The old man said.

They didn’t talk loudly because the old lady sat for a while after dinner and then fell asleep again.

In fact, it was hard to imagine that if Tang Xi herself could only be like this every day and couldn’t even speak, she would rather die.

However, the old man told her that the old lady had said that she wanted to live.

Even in this state, you still want to live? Tang Xi couldn’t understand. Maybe he was still too young, but the old grandpa seemed to understand, so he took care of the old grandma as much as possible wholeheartedly.

Tang Xi continued to chat with the old man for a while, and then her phone rang and she left.

The one who called him was naturally Jiang Changxi. After all, according to Jiang Changxi,”In this world, a person’s good can exceed your imagination. Similarly, a person’s bad can also exceed your imagination.”

Nowadays, there were quite a few people who took advantage of people’s sympathy and committed crimes. Therefore, for the sake of Tang Xi’s safety, Jiang Changxi asked Tang Xi to inform her every ten minutes.

When Tang Xi heard what the grandpa said just now, she was so absorbed in it that she forgot about it. Then, about 20 minutes later, Jiang Changxi called her.

“Sister Jiang, I’m sorry. I’ve made you worry.” After Tang Xi answered the phone, she apologized repeatedly.

On the other side, Wu Hai started to act up. He accepted the suggestion of that customer who had a big hole in his brain. He really had to find a way to jump down.

“I have three plans for eaves Wu,” In half an hour, Zhou Xi had already come up with three plans.

“The first plan is very simple. We can get a cable and hang people directly from the window. The difficulty of this method is that it’s very troublesome to wear.”

“The second plan is to make a railing and then slide down. The disadvantage of this plan is that it’s not safe and there are no safety facilities.”

“The third plan is to place a slide ladder under the window. This plan is fast and safe, but the disadvantage is that it takes up a large area, so we need to discuss it with the first floor.”

Wu Hai would definitely choose the last one, which was both fast and safe. Therefore, Wu Hai started negotiating with the people on the first floor in the afternoon.

On the other hand, Zhou Xi helped to negotiate with the government department. After all, such changes must be approved by the government.

Looking at Wu Hai and Zhou Xi who had really taken action, the customers had a question in their hearts: “Aren’t you going to consider the Anti – theft System?”
