Chapter 46： First aid 3

The old lady can see clearly, in the absence of food to eat, these jade jewelry have no value at all. No matter how precious things are, you can't eat them, and you can't let yourself live.

Just like in the last days, no one needs anything like money anymore, and all people want is food.

At the same time, the old lady's words revealed a bit of sadness and helplessness.

However, these things are of great value to Zhao Xiulan.

Zhao Xiulan knew that in another ten or twenty years, the value of these things would be reflected when the period passed, the country re-constructed, and then slowly reached its prosperous age.

She may only need a little food to collect these jewels now, but when the prosperity comes, these will be a huge wealth.

Zhao Xiulan said to the old lady, "Auntie, since this is the case, then I am willing to exchange food with you."

The old lady asked Zhao Xiulan excitedly, "Daughter, are you really willing to change with me?"

"Well, auntie, I know these things are precious, you need food, and I like these things, isn't it good for us to exchange them?

I put food in my backpack, so it's not convenient to trade here. Let's go, Auntie, I'll take you home and give you this food by the way. "

Zhao Xiulan was really worried about the old lady's situation. Now it's just right to send people back while delivering food.

The old lady also knew that this place was really not suitable for trading, and her body was also very weak, so she did not try to be brave.

"Daughter, that's too much trouble for you."

"It's okay, auntie, I don't have anything to do anyway."

Zhao Xiulan supported the old lady and walked towards the old lady's house under the guidance of the old lady.

On the way, the two chatted for a while. The old lady's husband's surname was Chen, so Zhao Xiulan called her Aunt Chen.

Like Zhao Xiulan's guess, Aunt Chen is not a simple person.

Sometimes people's temperament can't be deceived, especially the kind of book fragrance, which must be nurtured over many years.

Aunt Chen's behavior and manners are very good, and she must have been a rich family before.

Seeing the house where Aunt Chen lived, confirmed Zhao Xiulan's guess.

The place where Aunt Chen lived was a small western-style building. In the county town, two-story buildings were actually rare, let alone such a small western-style building, only the very wealthy would build it.

However, the courtyard of Xiaoyanglou is already very dilapidated, and some places are obviously smashed. The exterior of the Xiaoyang Building looks good, but many places inside have also suffered damage.

There was nothing in the room, only a few pieces of worn-out furniture, even the chairs and tables were lame and repaired with broken wood.

There is a hot water bottle, two enamel tanks, and a few pairs of tableware on the table.

Near the door, there is a small iron pot, which is probably used for cooking.

There was also an old coal stove with an iron kettle that was boiling hot water.

The other rooms on the first floor were empty, except for the one near the south with a shabby little bed.

There is a huge contrast between the furnishings in the house and the architecture of the small western-style building.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Xiulan couldn't help but sigh.

Thinking of Aunt Chen's life experience and the current situation in Xiaoyanglou, Zhao Xiulan has almost guessed it. It is estimated that it was because Aunt Chen was too rich before, she was said to be not very good, and she received special treatment, which led to this ending.

There are still too many people like Aunt Chen. How many big landlords and capitalists end up here because of their wealth.

After Zhao Xiulan helped Aunt Chen into the house, she asked Aunt Chen to sit down first.
