Her complexion was still fairly good, not as haggard as her mother's.
It must have been the woman who had given all the food to her child.
"Wait a minute, I'll bring them to your doorstep, oh right, one pumpkin cost me thirty, so two would be sixty, and also two winter melons, which are quite cheap, twenty each, so forty for two, just give me a hundred," he said.
Lin Fan thought about the errand that could earn him a bit of hard-earned cash as he spoke.
He didn't wait for Li Mei to say anything.
Carrying the vegetables, he entered her residential block.
And business is often earned through service.
He arrived at her doorstep.
On the way over, he came across a few zombies, which he dealt with very effortlessly; even a casual kick would send a zombie flying several meters away, which was truly terrifying.
Listening to the knocking, Li Mei knew that opening the door to any stranger at such a moment was very dangerous.
She knew the human heart could be wicked.
No one knew what kind of spirit lay hidden behind an innocuous façade.
But she had no choice, for her child, even if opening this door meant walking into hell, she was unafraid and even prepared to fight desperately if necessary.
She nervously opened the anti-theft door.
"Here you go, your pumpkins and winter melons, a hundred in total, I accept cash and transfers," Lin Fan said with a smile.
Li Mei was slightly stunned, thinking standing at the door could be dangerous, if a zombie spotted them, it could really be bad.
"Why don't you come in first."
Without the other party's permission, he wouldn't just enter someone's home.
Now that he was invited.
Of course, it wasn't a problem.
The winter melons and the pumpkin were placed on the table.
"Thank you so much, I really can't thank you enough," Li Mei said with gratitude. In a moment of despair, hope had indeed appeared, and she couldn't help but knelt down before Lin Fan.
Those pumpkins and winter melons were like a lifeline for her and her daughter.
"Don't mention it, who doesn't face hard times? We all live under the same sky," Lin Fan helped her up, curiously looking around the room and waving at the slightly timid little girl, greeting her.
The little girl was a bit scared and shrank back.
Li Mei was truly grateful, the young man before her, Lin Fan, seemed just like an angel.
Glowing with radiance.
This was the only living person she had seen thus far who could still radiate the glow of humanity.
That moment, Lin Fan was attracted by a hanging artifact on the wall.
"Wow, this is a Simulated Divine Artifact, Frostmourne, I saw it on a website before, I never thought I'd actually see it in person," Lin Fan exclaimed in surprise.
Li Mei looked toward the sword, "That was bought by my husband, he really liked gaming, so he spent quite some money on this simulation artifact."
Thinking about her husband, she felt like crying. To buy this useless simulated weapon, he had spent tens of thousands, and at the time, she thought he was crazy to think it would be of any use.
But now, she had no chance to speak those words again.
"If you like it, I'll give it to you. It's so dangerous outside, having a weapon for self-defense could keep you safer," Li Mei said.
Lin Fan waved his hands, "How can that be, if you give it to me, what will you use?"
Li Mei replied, "Just my daughter and I here, we have no use for it; please take it. You need it more than we do, and consider it a thank you for bringing us food."
Hearing this, Lin Fan felt a bit awkward.
He had taken a hundred yuan from them and now was about to receive a Simulated Divine Artifact.
Clearly, this was something he could never afford.
"How about this, I know it's very expensive, I obviously can't afford it, but let me bring food for you in the future without charging," Lin Fan said.
Li Mei looked at Lin Fan dumbfounded.
"Can I ask you something, given the times we are in, why do you still think money is important?"
Lin Fan was surprised, "Isn't paying money for things a normal transaction?"
"I should go now, take care of yourself and your daughter. Always have hope, it might arrive late, but it definitely exists. If there's anything, just call me, I'm available anytime," Lin Fan waved his hand, closed the door, and left.
Helping others brings happiness, so he was very happy now.
Of course, he was a self-aware person.
He wasn't a superhero or a saint, just an ordinary person living under the sun, doing what he could. And to him, that was enough.
Having that spirit is what matters.
Those who enjoy helping others often receive good things in return.
Look at this Frostmourne in my hands.
It really looks cool.
Chopping up zombies with it would surely feel satisfying.
