Chapter 19: Little girl, do you have anything to do

Around five o'clock, Aunt Chen hurriedly drove three sheep towards the sheep pen, with Su Ruan Ruan following behind carrying a basket of grass.

The sheep pen was not far from Su's house, just to the southeast, across a small path, and it only took about ten minutes to get there.

After driving the sheep into the pen and pouring the grass into the feed trough, today's work would be considered finished.

However, the two of them couldn't immediately go back. Aunt Chen still needed to make a trip to the Xiao family to talk to the brigade leader, Xiao Dashan, about the temporary workers and the work arrangements for Su Ruan Ruan.

"Ruan Ruan, are you going?" Aunt Chen asked Su Ruan Ruan.

In Aunt Chen's view, it didn't matter whether Su Ruan Ruan went or not.

Just as Su Ruan Ruan was about to answer yes, she heard a suppressed cough.

Her heart skipped a beat, and the words she was about to say took a turn, "I won't go, you go instead!"

"That's fine too. If you don't want to go, just go home early."

After instructing Su Ruan Ruan, Aunt Chen quickly headed towards the Xiao family, while Su Ruan Ruan stood in place, watching Aunt Chen walk away before heading towards the back of the sheep pen.

Next to the sheep pen was the cowshed, but the Third Production Brigade currently did not raise cows. On the other side of the sheep pen, there was a pigsty with four pigs, and someone else was responsible for feeding the pigs and providing them with food.

Although the cowshed didn't have cows, it wasn't empty either.

There were two elderly people living inside.

In her previous life, it was at this time that those two elderly people moved into the cowshed.

However, at that time, Su Ruan Ruan was focused on the matter of arranging temporary workers for Wang Aijuan and rarely came to the sheep pen.

After the temporary workers' issue was resolved, she began to come over to help Aunt Chen with feeding more often, gradually becoming familiar with the elderly people living in the cowshed.

However, at that time, she only became familiar with one of the elderly people. It was only later that she heard from that elderly person that his spouse had fallen ill shortly after moving into the cowshed and had passed away due to lack of medicine.

With his spouse gone, he had to take care of the pigsty and sheep pen, doing the dirtiest and most tiring work, yet he couldn't eat enough or dress warmly. Despite being around the same age as Aunt Chen, he looked ten years older than her.

Later, when she found out that she was going to take the college entrance examination, the elderly person helped her review her studies. She was able to attend university thanks to the elderly person's help.

It's a pity that she hadn't received the admission notice yet when the elderly person passed away.

Now that she had been reborn, she hoped to change the fate of the elderly person and his spouse.

As Su Ruan Ruan thought about various things from her previous life, she had already arrived at the entrance of the cowshed.

This area was relatively remote, with few people passing by on regular days, and it wasn't yet time to finish work, so Su Ruan Ruan wasn't afraid of being seen by anyone.

She stood outside the cowshed for a while before slowly walking in.

The cowshed originally had three walls and one side open, but an additional wall and a small door with a small window had been added temporarily, perhaps to accommodate the residents. However, this made the lighting inside insufficient.

Standing at the entrance of the cowshed, Su Ruan Ruan could see a person lying on the bed against the wall, emitting suppressed coughs.

The person seemed to have heard footsteps and looked towards the entrance, then paused for a moment after seeing Su Ruan Ruan. "Young lady, do you need something?"

This caught Su Ruan Ruan off guard. After hesitating for a while, she stammered, "I heard someone coughing, so I came to take a look..."
