Initially, these old ladies were already quite embarrassed, and now that they heard Yigol was prepared to help carry their things, they naturally felt even more apologetic.
They immediately shook their heads.
“It’s alright, these things aren’t that heavy; I can manage.”
Although he said so, Yigol didn’t want to see them struggle at their age, hunched over and carrying such heavy things.
Ever since he met his wife this month, Yigol had become very wealthy. With the help of the System, everything had become smooth sailing.
However, before that, he had experienced some unhappy days.
During that time, he would do anything to earn money, exhausting himself every day, with hardly any time to rest.
If he hadn’t met his wife or the System, perhaps his life would still be like that, and he would never know what would happen in the future.
Also, he didn’t have much education or qualifications, so maybe when he got old, he would be like these old ladies, doing small business to get by.
So he could genuinely empathize with the struggles of these old ladies.
Now that he had money, he wanted to help some, if only a little.
Seeing Yigol’s kindness, admiration filled Suri’s eyes.
She moved closer to Yigol and spoke to him.
“I knew I wouldn’t be wrong in choosing my husband.” Seeing her smile and say those words, Yigol felt very happy.
“Of course, my wife has the best taste!”
“My wife has the best taste of all!”
Seeing Yigol and Suri’s sweet and intimate demeanor, the old ladies nearby couldn’t help but smile.
“You youngsters look so lovely.”
“Yes, if my son were still alive, he might also be about your age.”
Initially, Yigol and Suri were still chatting and laughing as they walked forward, but when they heard these words, their hearts were slightly startled.
They couldn’t help but look at the old lady who had spoken, realizing that she was the one who had insisted on returning the money to them.
There seemed to be tears shimmering in the old lady’s eyes, but her lips still wore a smile.
Seeing her like this, Suri couldn’t help but feel upset, so she stepped forward and gently patted the old lady’s shoulder, helping her.
“It’s alright, Grandma. Everything will get better.”
The old lady nodded and gripped Suri’s hand tightly in return.
“That’s right, everything is getting better, and the two of you will keep getting better, too.”
It wasn’t long before they arrived at the old ladies’ residence.
It was a simple courtyard.
Although it was enclosed on all sides, it looked run-down, with even the windows and doors broken.
The old ladies brought Yigol and Suri into the courtyard and then introduced the place with a smile.
“We all live together here.”
Upon hearing this, they finally understood why everyone had agreed so eagerly when they had offered to invite the ladies over for a meal.
It was because they all lived together.
“I never thought you would have such a connection.” As Yigol put the things down nearby, he spoke.
The old ladies helped them to arrange the items as well.
“Alright, alright, now that we are home, you two sit and rest for a while. We will go and prepare the food now.”
As one of the old ladies said this, there was a commotion in a nearby room.
“Ah, it hurts!”
As they heard this noise, everyone’s gaze darted in the direction of the sound, wondering what was going on.
At this moment, Suri and Yigol couldn’t help but exchange glances, unsure what had happened.
The old ladies around them looked worried as well, and they hurried over in that direction.
Only one old lady remained by their side.
Seeing the few old ladies rushing around, Suri couldn’t help but ask curiously. “What happened? Is there someone in there?”
Hearing this, the remaining old lady sighed deeply as she poured Yigol and Suri some water, and nodded.
“That’s our Crystal’s husband. He used to be well enough to go out and do things, but then he had a car accident.”
Hearing this, both of them couldn’t help but frown.
They never expected such a thing to happen.
It was already challenging for elderly couples to have someone accompany them, and now the husband was in this situation.
For a moment, they both felt somewhat sad.
Suri felt a sudden bitterness in her heart.
She knew that accidents in life were unavoidable, but hearing such heart-wrenching stories still upset her.
She carefully held Yigol’s hand.
How could Yigol not know what was on his wife’s mind at this moment?
So at this moment, he naturally held her hand tightly as well. “Don’t worry, I’m here for you.”
Later, Suri finally looked up at the old lady and asked curiously.
“Did the person responsible not provide any compensation? Have you talked to the police?”
Hearing this, the old lady sighed heavily again, displaying a look of helplessness on her face.
“Our location is quite remote, and there are no surveillance cameras. We don’t know where the person responsible has gone, so there’s been no compensation.”
“Originally, they had a house to live in, but it was sold to afford his medical treatment. Later, we saw their plight and took them in.”
When they heard this, their hearts felt extremely heavy.
Initially, they thought these people were only selling things to make some extra income.
They never expected them to be in such a difficult situation.
It was truly a helpless feeling.
An idea immediately came to Yigol’s mind.
For him now, as long as something could be solved with money, it was not a big deal.
So at this moment, he wanted to lend a hand as well.
If he could help, it would be a good thing.
“Can we go in and see him?”
Suri’s eyebrows had been tightly furrowed, and she couldn’t help but ask this question, wondering about the old man’s condition..
