Chapter 22 - Helping others

The two of them went to the market to buy rice and some dishes, spending more than 30 copper coins.

On the way back, a horse suddenly rushed over like a madman. Luckily, it didn't hurt anyone, but an old grandma was knocked over by the flustered passerby. The food in the basket was all over the floor, but no one went to help them up.

Mo Xiao Yan stopped and helped the old man up, ”Old granny, are you alright?” As he spoke, he picked up the dishes scattered on the ground by the old man.

The old man looked at Mo Xiao Yan and said gratefully: ”Thank you young lady, I'm fine.”

Mo Lin Yu walked over and helped to hold the vegetable basket, and asked: ”How about we send you back?”

”Lad, there's no need to trouble you guys. I'll be going back myself. My home isn't far from here.” The old man said with a smile.

Mo Xiao Yan insisted: ”Let's send you back. Since you said it's not far, it won't take long.”

The old man nodded and said, ”Little girl, you are so young and your heart is so good. You will definitely meet a good family in the future.”

”Hehe, thank you for your kind words.”

Mo Xiao Yan carried the basket, Mo Lin Yu supported the old man, and the three of them slowly walked towards the old man.

It was indeed quite close. After making a few turns, they arrived at the old man's residence. It was quite large, so it was obvious that it was a large household. At such a young age, he should have a servant at home. Why would he even come out to buy vegetables?

The old man seemed to be able to see through Mo Xiao Yan's thoughts, and laughed: ”I'm a servant here, I just came out to buy vegetables for Young Master to cook. We just moved here for a few days and we didn't bring any servant girls, so for now I'm out to buy vegetables to cook for.”
