"What mister? You don't look old, so call me brother.”Unlike yesterday's polite manner, Wu Kui seemed to have taken the initiative today.
"Uh, Brother Wu, why are you looking for me?”Yun Ruizhu returned to her usual cold demeanor, but she quickly changed the way she addressed Wu Kui.
She knew that Wu Kui had no bad intentions towards the two children, which meant that this person was worth getting along with.
"It's a good thing." Wu Kui giggled and handed Yun Ruizhu two ten-yuan bills.
"What are you doing? Why are you giving me money for nothing?" Yun Ruizhu's first reaction was confusion.
She even dodged in a panic.
"Yang Yang and Yang Yao asked me to give them to them. Did you make this up?" Wu Kui shrugged and stuffed the two bills into Yun Ruizhu's basket.
Seeing that Yun Ruizhu's small basket was particularly unique, Wu Kui asked curiously.
"Yes, there are bamboos in the courtyard, so I used them to weave some bamboo baskets.”Yun Ruizhu wanted to return the money to Wu Kui, but he quickly shook her off. She could only explain the origin of the bamboo basket.
"I can see that you're very good with your hands. Then why don't you find a permanent job?”Wu Kui stood beside the bamboo forest in the courtyard, deep in thought.
"To be honest, my old father is bedridden all year round, so I have to take care of him.”Seeing that Wu Kui was determined not to take it back, Yun Ruizhu had no choice but to open the door and invite Wu Kui in.
"I see. But it's not a good idea for you to drag it out like this.”Wu Kui's guess was confirmed, and he could not help but feel that Yun Ruizhu's talent had nowhere to be put to use.
After he entered the room, he found that there was only an old sickbed left in the huge room.
An old man with a haggard face leaned against the bed.
Even though Wu Kui was not a doctor, he could tell that the old man was seriously ill.
"Pearl, is there a guest?" When the old man heard the commotion, he stood up with a rustling sound and couldn't help but cough violently.
"Uncle, sorry for disturbing you. You can continue to rest! Sister Yun and I will talk outside." Wu Kui could not bear for the old man to be disturbed. After Yun Ruizhu had appeased the old man, he took the lead and returned to the courtyard.
He wanted to help Yun Ruizhu.
From the looks of it, if Father Yun was not well, Yun Ruizhu could only stay at home.
She was only in her teens. How could she wither in this dilapidated old house?
However, the Yun family's house was indeed not small.
In the future, if Yun Ruizhu sold this large courtyard, it would be a considerable income.
It was a pity that she had encountered this era.
Yun Ruizhu couldn't sell the house, much less dare to.
She was practically stuck in a dead end, struggling to survive.
"Brother Wu, thank you for your kindness. I really can't accept this money.”Yun Ruizhu settled her father down. Seeing that Wu Kui was still standing in the courtyard, she walked over to him uneasily. She still wanted to return the money to Wu Kui.
"Do you want your father to recover?”Wu Kui didn't even look at Yun Ruizhu. He had a confident smile on his face.
"Of course, but he has been tortured by the disease for many years. He has eaten up all his money and can't be cured. It's useless even if I think about it!" At the mention of her father's illness, no matter how strong Yun Ruizhu was, she revealed her fragile side.
She shouldn't have complained to Wu Kui, who she had met twice, but she had kept it in her heart for too long.
In the past, when she worked in the Yang family, she was not rich, but at least she could have enough food and clothing.
However, ever since she was slandered as a thief, Yun Ruizhu could no longer find a suitable job.
She had helped Uncle Zhang's shop previously, but it was just a temporary measure for the day.
Uncle Zhang was kind-hearted and would even give her real meat. If it were someone else, they might have been able to get rid of her with just a dime or two.
Yun Ruizhu struggled to support all of this, and countless frustrations were suppressed in her heart.
When Wu Kui said that today, she was like a person who had seen a glimmer of hope in the dark. She desperately wanted to grab onto Wu Kui, this life-saving straw.
"Brother Wu, do you have a way to treat my father's illness?”Yun Ruizhu carefully cast a pleading look at Wu Kui.
"Of course. However, I also have conditions." Wu Kui thought of the magical effects of the lake water in the space and wanted to take a gamble.
Even if he could not cure Father Yun's illness, at least he could stop the old man from being so weak and bedridden.
"I will agree to any condition!" Yun Ruizhu was so excited that her heart was pounding.
As long as she could cure her father, she would not have any complaints even if she had to die.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll harm you?" Wu Kui was shocked by Yun Ruizhu's courage.
Ever since Wu Kui had known her, she had always been on guard.
Wu Kui was only boasting, but Yun Ruizhu did not hesitate at all.
"If you want to harm me, then so be it. Do you still need to offer to treat my father?”Yun Ruizhu's retort left Wu Kui speechless.
Alright, this bro will go all out for this trust!
"Give this to your father three times a day without interruption. It will take effect in a week.”Wu Kui was glad that he had bought a glass soda when he came. Now, there was an empty bottle in his hand.
Before Yun Ruizhu came out, he had already cleaned the bottle in the courtyard and filled it with the lake water in the space.
It looked no different from the soda sold on the street.
"Water?" Yun Ruizhu took it and sized it up. She was a little puzzled.
"Potion." Wu Kui coughed dryly and rubbed his nose awkwardly.
He wondered if he should be in such a hurry.
However, Wu Kui really didn't want to see Father Yun continue to cough so loudly that it shook the sky.
Birth, old age, illness, and death were all bitter.
"Thank you, Brother Wu. If my father can really recover, I'll definitely thank you again. "Now, tell me your conditions. As long as I can, I'll definitely do it.”Yun Ruizhu almost wanted to rush into the house to verify the water in her hand, but she still asked Wu Kui's conditions first.
Wu Kui saw her forbearance.
This was a subconscious self-protection that had been tormented by life for too many times.
"Actually, I want you…the two bamboos in the courtyard.”Wu Kui pointed at the bamboo forest beside him and stated his purpose.
Originally, he wanted Yun Ruizhu to open a bamboo art class.
This way, not only could this skill be passed down, but it could also earn money.
Of course, they couldn't do it openly.
Wu Kui only had a rough blueprint in his mind.
But first, he needed a lot of bamboo.
Therefore, Wu Kui's condition became two bamboos.
He was going to plant bamboo in the space.
Two bamboos returned Wu Kui a sea of bamboos.
"Only these?" Yun Ruizhu was stunned.
She had waited for a long time to hear what Wu Kui had to say next, but in the end, he only wanted two bamboos?
"That's right. Do I need you to take out some gold, silver, and jewelry? Hurry up and give uncle the medicine." Wu Kui smiled.
He was just following his heart, so he didn't ask Yun Ruizhu to repay him in any way.
"Alright, wait a moment. I'll help you dig the bamboo after I give my father the medicine.”Yun Ruizhu saw the sincerity in Wu Kui's words and did not hesitate at all. She greeted him and rushed into the house.
She was worried that the medicine was too cold, so she heated it on the stove for a while.
