Chapter 324: 094: Meeting the Lifesaver_4

Grandma Lu turned to look at Lin Wu.

The girl’s face was hidden in the golden sunset, her cheeks dimpled as if they could suck someone in.

Beautiful and natural.

This smile directly infected Grandma Lu, and she said with a chuckle, "Xiao Wu, make sure you’re seated securely, we’re about to set off."

"Mhm." Lin Wu nodded.

Grandma Lu looked ahead at the road, calling out cheerily, "Kids, make way, please."

The students blocking the path immediately cleared a way for Grandma Lu’s tricycle.

Grandma Lu turned the handlebars, and the electric tricycle began to move swiftly.

The wind whipped up Lin Wu’s long hair.

It was very messy.

Yet, the messiness revealed a different kind of beauty.

Passersby couldn’t help but turn their heads to look.

The old woman collecting scrap, pedaling her tricycle and carrying her beautiful granddaughter, moved through the bustling streets, creating a stark contrast.

"So cool!" exclaimed a university student, fresh from class and clutching his textbooks, as he watched the grandmother and granddaughter pass, his eyes filled with envy.

If you looked carefully, you would see that beneath the envy in his eyes, there was also regret.

Once, he too had a grandmother who loved him dearly.

But his grandma had been a cleaner.

Afraid that his classmates would find out that his grandma swept the streets, he always made a point to avoid her after school.

Perhaps grandma had noticed his deliberate evasion and the embarrassment in his eyes.

From that time on.

Grandma never called out his name in public; whenever she saw him, she’d pretend not to recognize him.

Yet every time he returned home, grandma would save the best things for him.

But then...

Grandma passed away.

She left before he could understand her value.

Even though many years had gone by, every time he thought of these things, his eyes would fill with tears.

If only he had been as brave back then as this girl.

Maybe...

His life wouldn’t be filled with so many regrets.

It’s a pity.

Life doesn’t have "if onlys," only consequences.

Lin Wu sat in the back seat, her vision still sharp enough to clearly see the traffic light at the intersection ahead. Seeing that the green light was about to turn red, she said, "Grandma Jin, let’s slow down, the light is about to turn red!"

As far as she knew, that red light lasted a full minute.

"Alright." Grandma Lu nodded, then said, "Xiao Wu, let’s first go to the recycling station to sell these things, then I’ll take you home, okay?"

"Okay."

So, after waiting for the green light, Grandma Lu took Lin Wu straight to the recycling station.

Being a frequent visitor, Grandma Lu was well known to the boss of the recycling station.

"Aunt Jin, here you are! Is this your granddaughter?" he greeted.

At his words, Grandma Lu beamed and replied, "Yes, yes, yes, that’s my granddaughter."

As she spoke, Grandma Lu turned to Lin Wu, "Xiao Wu, this is Aunt Zhou, the boss’s wife of the recycling station."

Lin Wu politely shifted her gaze, "Aunt Zhou."

It was only then that the recycling station boss’s wife, Zhou Furong, got a clear view of Lin Wu’s face, her eyes showing sheer astonishment, "Aunt Jin, your granddaughter is really beautiful!"

It wasn’t just Lin Wu’s appearance that was amazing.

But also her character.

Zhou Furong, having worked at the recycling station for so long.

Had met many elderly people coming to sell scrap.

And yet, there were many...

But this was the first one with a granddaughter in tow.

Children nowadays mature late.

It’s rare to find a child as sensible as Lin Wu.

Zhou Furong was also a mother.

Her daughter was in junior high.

The daughter was very resistant to her attending parent-teacher meetings at school.

Because she said her mother smelled like the recycling station.

Thus, every time there was a meeting, it was the father who went.

With a proud air, Grandma Lu declared, "Of course my granddaughter is beautiful!"

After speaking, Grandma Lu chuckled and said, "Xiao Zhou, could you please weigh my stuff? I’m eager to get back home with my granddaughter."

"Sure."

Zhou Furong immediately signaled the workers at the station to help unload the scrap from the tricycle.

Soon enough, the material was weighed.

Zhou Furong calculated on her calculator, "That’s a total of 118 yuan."

At that, Grandma Lu frowned slightly, "A whole day’s labor for just over a hundred yuan, not even counting profit! Earning money is truly getting harder."

Zhou Furong replied with a smile, "It’s tough in every line of work these days."

After selling the scrap, Grandma Lu drove Lin Wu back on her tricycle.

The ride back was lighter now that the scrap had been sold.

Grandma Lu, still youthful at heart, drove the tricycle so fast that she even raced with some old men.

In less than fifteen minutes, the tricycle was parked at the entrance of Peaceful Garden.

Lin Wu got off the tricycle and invited Grandma Lu to join her for a meal at home, "Grandma Jin, since you have the tricycle, it doesn’t matter if you go back later. My mom’s cooking is really good, and she made spicy crawfish today."
