Chapter 133 Helping Wang Li Gain Merit
"Oh dear, thank you, thank you." The old woman quickly stepped back after regaining her footing. "Miss, did I get your clothes dirty?"
The old woman looked terrified and helpless. If this young lady insisted that she pay for the clothes, she definitely couldn't afford it!
"Grandma, are you alright? Are you okay? Did you hurt yourself anywhere?" Shen Wantang stepped forward to ask.
The old woman nodded repeatedly, "It's alright, thank you!" Then she carefully began to rummage through the trash can again.
Shen Wantang clicked her tongue and grabbed her hand: "Let's go."
"Can't I rummage through the trash cans here? I'm so sorry! I won't come here again." The old woman thought Shen Wantang was going to kick her out, so she pleaded while not knowing what to do.
"Miss, please, I haven't had a hot meal in two days. I have a grandson at home..." The old woman's eyes reddened as she spoke.
Seeing her expression, Shen Wantang felt really bad: "Don't be afraid, grandma, I'll take you to eat."
She took the old woman to the breakfast shop downstairs and ordered her a large bowl of clear soup wontons.
The old woman stopped after taking two bites.
"What's wrong? Does it taste bad?" Shen Wantang asked, puzzled.
"No, no." The old woman shook her head: "Miss, I, I have no money."
"I won't make you pay, don't worry!" Shen Wantang gently patted the back of her hand to reassure her.
The old woman then took out a bag and poured the whole bowl of wontons into it.
Shen Wantang was caught off guard, and it was too late to stop them: "What are you doing?"
"I'll take it back for my grandson to eat." The old woman smiled sincerely. Although her face was etched with the marks of time, it was still clear that she was very beautiful when she was young.
Shen Wantang felt a pang of pain in her heart: "Give this to me." She took the bag from the old man's hand and then asked the owner to cook another large bowl for him.
"Eat up! I'll buy some for your grandson too." Shen Wantang pushed the bowl in front of her.
"really?"
"real."
Only after Shen Wantang's repeated affirmation did she finish the whole bowl of wontons, which was the best thing she had eaten in the past few years.
"Boss, pack me three pounds of uncooked wontons. I want to take them home and cook them myself," Shen Wantang said to the shop owner.
"Okay!" The boss quickly packed three pounds of wontons, enough for them to eat for two meals.
The old woman still felt like she was dreaming when she finally got the wontons in her hands. How did she suddenly get to eat?
Shen Wantang didn't stop either. After putting the wontons in the car, she took the old lady to the mall and bought about ten sets of clothes from head to toe!
To be honest, she wouldn't have cared about such details before; at most, she would have helped the old woman up and given her some money.
But now, in order to earn more merit points, she is willing to do it.
"Is your grandson a boy or a girl? How old is he?" Shen Wantang asked her after loading the items into the car.
The old woman, seeing Shen Wantang's red eyes, knelt down with a thud: "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much!"
"We don't know each other, yet you're so kind to me!"
There are still more good people than bad in the world!
Shen Wantang quickly pulled her up from the ground: "Grandma, I helped you voluntarily. Not everyone is like me."
"If someone with ulterior motives gets close, she might pretend to help you but actually want to hurt you. If you can't tell who's who, you'll be in big trouble!"
She wasn't trying to imply that she was superior; what she meant was to keep the old woman constantly on her guard.
"I know, I know! My grandson is a boy." The old woman wiped away her tears.
At this point, the old woman had changed her entire outfit from head to toe, and she looked completely different.
The two of them went to the mall and bought a lot of children's clothes and shoes! They even bought a lot of larger ones so he could wear them when he grows up.
Then I went to buy dry food and a multi-functional steamer/boiler/fryer so that my mother-in-law could use it easily when we got back.
Then the two of them should have no problem eating.
Once outside the mall, the car was already full. Following the old woman's directions, Shen Wantang's car stopped in front of a dilapidated house. The house looked like it had been uninhabited for a long time and was in disrepair.
"Miss, this, this is my home." The old woman stepped forward and opened the precariously fastened door.
Then I saw a little boy run out. Grandma had finally come back. He was really scared at home by himself!
"Mother-in-law!"
"Hey, Tiantian, look, we have guests at home!" Grandma Wang Li pointed to Shen Wantang at the door.
Tian Tian was startled by the stranger and immediately hid behind Wang Li, not daring to speak.
"Good girl, Tiantian. This is your older sister, a very nice older sister." Wang Li smiled shyly at Shen Wantang. "Your older sister bought you lots of delicious food, fun toys, and lots and lots of new clothes!"
Upon hearing this, Tian Tian forgot all his fear: "Do I really have these things?" As far back as he could remember, his only memory was of his mother-in-law, and life had always been like this.
He had heard that there were many delicious foods, but he had never seen them, let alone new clothes.
Sometimes his mother would bring him some good food.
“Of course, Tian Tian. The things are in the car. Shall we go get them together?” Shen Wantang took Tian Tian’s hand and they went outside to get the things.
Every day when I see the truck full of stuff, I jump for joy!
"Grandma! Look! There are so many things, we can hardly fit them all in the house!" Tian Tian shouted.
Seeing his grandson so happy, Wang Li still felt a pang of sadness. He was still just a child, but now he seemed like a little adult.
"Let's take them out together!" Shen Wantang carried the big things down, while Tian Tian carried all the small things.
Shen Wantang cooked a bowl of wontons for Tiantian in the new pot, and Wang Li instantly remembered how to use the pot.
Tian Tian took a bite, and her eyes lit up: "Great, delicious! What is this? It's so tasty!"
"Eat more if you like it." Shen Wantang patted his head: "We are brave men every day. Eat your fill and let's work together to improve the environment."
"Okay!" Tian Tian quickly finished a large bowl of wontons.
Then Shen Wantang led him to clean the entire place, and finally, they could put things away.
Shen Wantang didn't open the bags of the clothes and other things; they were just left there.
Otherwise, if you open it for a long time, it will get very dusty, which is much cleaner.
"Sister! I've never seen so many things before!" Tian Tian was still very excited.
"Okay, you guys keep tidying up here. Wait for me, I'll be right back." Shen Wantang went out and drove off.
Wang Li watched her departing figure and secretly wiped away her tears: "Alright, Tiantian, let's continue cleaning. What if your sister comes back?"
