"You, why are your eyes red and swollen? Are you in a bad mood? Or have you encountered something troublesome?"
Yang Lina asked cautiously and tentatively.
Su Lin pursed his lips and shook his head with an aggrieved look.
"I almost scared myself to death today. When I was buying melons, I met a little girl. She had been selling watermelons with her grandfather when she was young. Her clothes had been mended again and again. After asking around, I found out that the little girl had no hair since she was a child.
Mom, I felt sad after hearing this, so I bought a whole cart of watermelons from them.
I was afraid that they wouldn't be able to move it, so I kindly hugged one."
Su Lin was telling the truth. She was already crying sadly. After the emotion passed, she still didn't think of how to face such a cruel truth.
When she left the park, she saw an old man pulling a wooden frame cart with a cart of watermelons on it.
Behind the old man was a dirty little girl in ragged clothes. Su Lin, in a mood of grief and self-blame, thought about Yang Lina's childhood situation. The more he thought about it, the sadder he became, so he got crazy and spent ten yuan to buy a girl.
Car of watermelon.
Following the direction Su Lin pointed, Yang Lina took a look, and sure enough, an old man with dark skin and sweat on his face was struggling to pull a frame truck.
Yang Lina suddenly felt sorry for Su Lin.
She is innocent, simple, kind, and lively. She is simply an angel baby raised in a big house.
How could she bear to let Su Lin get hurt like this?
"I heard that Kong Xiulan said you came out to find me. Where did you go?"
"Sister Xiulan said, Chen Er was looking for you again. I was worried about you so I chased you out. As a result, I ran for several streets without finding you. I happened to meet my high school classmate, so I went to sit with her in the park.
Chatted for a while."
When Su Lin said this, her pure black and white eyes flickered a few times. Yang Lina smiled with a complaining look on her face, but like a big sister, she couldn't help pinching Su Lin's cheek.
"What are you going to do with this car of watermelon?"
Yang Lina smiled bitterly, it looked like there were twenty or thirty of them, how could they finish eating them?
"It's easy. I bought it as a gift to you. Since there are many people eating in your store, you can give it to the guests."
Yang Lina smiled helplessly.
Su Lin is so weird, there is really nothing she can do about her.
"Okay, you go in and ask someone to move the watermelon, and I'll ask the old man to come in and have dinner."
Su Lin smiled sweetly, revealing her two dimples, and walked towards the restaurant with cheerful steps.
When Su Lin turned around, his eyes suddenly became moist.
Although what is happening now is not her intention, she must give it back to others if she robbed it.
Right now, she had to make Yang Lina fall in love with her parents step by step. When the right time came, she was looking for a reason to leave the Su family forever and return everything that belonged to Sister Yang.
This was just Su Lin's idea. While she was pretending not to know, the torment she suffered in her heart made her want to cry loudly.
But, she can't.
She knew that her family and friends around her loved her deeply.
After confirming that Su Lin didn't know anything about it, Yang Lina's mood returned again.
In a short time, more than twenty watermelons were moved to the warehouse on the first floor by the store employees.
Yang Lina's eyes lit up when she saw the old man and the little girl wearing shabby clothes.
What she hated most was the pitiful look in the eyes of an elderly man.
She arranged for the kitchen to cook braised pork and a plate of boiled pork. Then she found fifty yuan in the drawer and went to the table where the old man and the little girl were sitting.
"Old man, do you still have melons at home?"
The old man smiled kindly, seeing that Yang Lina didn't mind him being dirty and sitting at the same table with him, he smiled sheepishly and took the little girl into his arms.
"Yes, after planting two acres of land, I still have one or two thousand melons."
"Is this okay? I want all of your melons. Can you send me thirty melons every day?"
"Thirty?"
The old man's eyes widened instantly, as if he was frightened.
The girl bought more than twenty melons today. This girl eats more than twenty melons a day. How can she finish eating so many melons?
The old man shook his head and refused when he thought of this.
"Girl, you can't do it. Those melons are delicious, but you can't finish thirty of them in one day.
Listen to me, if you like watermelons, I’ll give you one next time. It’s not easy for young people to make money when they go out, but they can’t eat all the melons and waste their hard-earned money.”
The old man tried to persuade her with kind words. Faced with such a simple and enthusiastic old man, Yang Lina felt extremely sad and sad in her heart.
The gap between the rich and the poor is too big. How much money can they earn after working hard for a year?
To put it bluntly, she bought so many melons just to help him.
"Uncle, I didn't buy it to eat, I bought it as a gift.
My store has a lot of customers every day, so I’ll order all the melons you’re good at, and give a melon to each table of the diners, and organize activities to increase the number of customers.”
Yang Lina knew that the old man might not understand what she said, but she still wanted him to feel that she was not deliberately helping him.
"I don't understand what you're saying. As long as you don't feel like you're at a disadvantage, girl."
"Then we have agreed that for thirty-five melons a day, you can give it to me according to the market price. This is a deposit of fifty yuan. You can take it first, uncle."
Yang Lina smiled, added tea to the old man's cup, and placed fifty yuan in front of the old man.
The old man's eyes lit up and he was stunned for a long time.
Suddenly, the old man wiped away tears.
"Thank you, girl, you have helped me a lot. You are a good person and a kind person."
The way the old man was wiping his tears while holding on to his shabby clothes made Yang Lina feel extremely sad.
As long as you are alive, it is not easy.
"Uncle, look at why you're still crying. Your melons are good, I'm relieved."
Yang Lina deliberately raised her voice to avoid feeling sad.
"Girl, others sell melons for eight cents per pound. I'll give you five cents. A melon is only thirty to forty cents. You can pay me an average of two cents.
I have to thank you for such a good thing happening today."
The old man carefully put the fifty-dollar wallet into his handkerchief and put it into his trouser pocket.
"No, uncle, I'll give you eighty cents per melon. If you don't agree, then I won't let you give it away."
After Yang Lina finished speaking, she grabbed the fan at hand and fanned it a few times.
This weather is really too hot.
"Girl, don't suffer a big loss, I'm sorry for you."
"It's okay. Just sit down and don't leave yet. You'll leave after you have eaten."
After Yang Lina finished speaking, she called Kong Xiulan to accompany her grandfather and grandson, and then went to greet the guests.
The grandfather and grandson had enough to eat and drink, and spoke a lot to Yang Lina gratefully before turning around and leaving.
