Huo Yulin noticed Huo Yao's distressed expression and went quiet for two seconds before he asked her. "Yao, are you short of money?"
Huo Yao scratched her head and frowned bitterly. "How should I put it? I'm poor!"
She could not refine medicine to sell now, or her family would find out about it. Even though she had destroyed their satellite network, it was about to be repaired after more than a year.
Moreover, she had almost lost all the money she had earned previously. Therefore, she was really poor now. She was so poor that she couldn't even afford the delivery fees.
When Min Yu heard the word 'poor', he glanced at her quietly.
How could someone who could afford medicine worth ten million be considered poor?
"Brother Yulin, I have a card here. Take it," said Huo Yulin as he took out his wallet from his pocket.
He did not know why his parents did not give his little sister money. Since he had nowhere to spend his money, he might as well give it to her.
Huo Yao's lips twitched when she saw her older brother taking out the card. They were indeed members of the Huo family. The way they transferred money was exactly the same.
She coughed and held her hand tightly as she shook her head. "Thanks, Brother Yulin. Being poor can help people improve. I think it's good to be poor."
Huo Yulin was taken aback.
Huo Yao patted the delivery box and hurriedly said, "I'm going upstairs."
Before long, she disappeared from the main house.
Huo Yulin could only put the card away dejectedly. Min Yu said, "Brother Yulin, have some tea."
Huo Yulin's gentle expression instantly disappeared. He glanced sideways at Min Yu. This dog was always looking for an opportunity to annoy him!
He turned around and headed to the backyard.
The old lady had just caught a chicken to butcher in the backyard. The road was slippery, so she lost her footing and fell backward uncontrollably.
Huo Yulin's eyes narrowed. He hurried over and helped her up nimbly.
The old lady heaved a sigh of relief after she steadied herself. "Thank goodness you were here. Otherwise, I would have fallen again."
Huo Yulin helped the old lady to the eaves. He glanced at the moss-covered stone path in the backyard and frowned.
When it rained, the ground would be very slippery. This old lady usually lived alone, so it was inevitable that something like this would happen. She would ask someone to come and renovate it later.
"Do you want to kill the chicken?" Huo Yulin asked as his gaze landed on the chicken in the old lady's hands.
"Yes." The old lady nodded.
"I'll do it. You go and rest," said Huo Yulin as he rolled up his sleeves.
The old lady waved her hand. "It's okay, I'll do it. You youngsters don't know how to kill a chicken. I'll dirty your clothes later."
Huo Yulin was reminded of the past. He lowered his eyes to look at his left hand and replied softly. "I will."
Apart from the difference in structure, there was no difference in killing a human and a chicken.
Huo Yulin took the chicken from the old lady and went to the kitchen to get a knife.
When the old lady saw this, she followed him and helped him by the side.
"By the way, Grandma, do your daughters come back often to see you?" Huo Yulin asked casually as he worked.
They had gotten to know each other over the past few days, so he started addressing the old lady as Grandma, just like his little sister.
The old lady smiled bitterly at the mention of her daughter. She sighed. "She might be busy, so she doesn't come back often."
Huo Yulin paused and asked again. "What about... Lu Xia?"
