Chapter 568: The item Zuzi gave him, he has always treasured and couldn’t bear to take out.
Turning his face away, he remembered what his mother had just advised him on the phone. He hesitated for a moment, then quietly used a small knife to cut the rope tying the pig’s leg.The farmer expressed his gratitude repeatedly: "Thank you, young man, my elderly mother is seriously ill in bed, and I rely on this pig to go to the city, sell it at a slaughterhouse for some money. This is life-saving money!"
Gu Jingyan’s expression changed.
Then he heard a "thump" from the back seat of the tricycle.
It turned out that the pig, following the cut he made in the rope, struggled hard a few times, broke free, rolled down, and ran away!
The farmer was shocked and hurried to chase after it.
But although the pig’s legs were short, when it ran gleefully, it was faster than a human.
The farmer puffed and panted after it for a way, watching as the pig disappeared into a narrow alley.
He couldn’t help but sit on the ground and weep loudly: "Oh my elderly mother, she’s done for now..."
Gu Jingyan was stunned.
He didn’t know if what he just did was right or wrong. He pursed his lips, touched his pocket, took out the only wad of cash he had, and handed it to the farmer: "I’m not sure if this is enough. Please, go take your mother to see a doctor."
The farmer was taken aback and did not take his money: "Even though we are country folk and not worldly, we know not to take other people’s money for no reason. Young man, I know you mean well, but thanks. I’ll still find a way to earn my living."
Gu Jingyan’s throat tightened.
Doing good deeds is not easy at all.
Good intentions can lead to bad outcomes, and sometimes it’s hard to tell right from wrong.
He bit his lip, took a piece of candy from his pocket, carefully broke off a quarter, opened his palm, and handed it to the farmer: "Take this..."
"I don’t eat candy, but thank you, young man."
"This isn’t candy. This is... an Immortal Elixir I got from a sage. Take it home and let your mother try it. It’s really effective."
"Really?!"
The farmer wasn’t greedy for others’ money, but upon hearing it was an Immortal Elixir from a sage, he immediately accepted it with a sense of reverence and sincerity.
Gu Jingyan almost regretfully withdrew his hand.
He knew his mother consumed the candy Zuzi gave her and the weight loss effects were astonishing.
And the one he had, he hadn’t touched at all.
Of course, he would never admit that he couldn’t bear to eat it.
But at this moment, giving a quarter of this cherished candy to a stranger made his heart ache.
But if it could really save a life, maybe Zuzi would praise him with a "Xiao Yan did well"...
Bah, it was never about getting her praise.
He was just a little guilty for letting that pig go!
Counting them, he had only completed seven good deeds.
He still had three good deeds to go, ah ah ah.
Wanting to do a few more good deeds isn’t something you can just do at will. There were hardly any pedestrians on such a hot day to find and do good deeds for?!
Is Zuzi trying to save Grandpa, or is she just tormenting him to death?!

In the hospital room.
Qin Tao was joyfully reporting: "Eight, eight, Xiao Yan seriously did eight good deeds. Just two more left..."
The door suddenly opened.
Gu Shiyin walked in first, politely guiding Yang Buhui towards the hospital bed, gently introducing, "Elder Yang, this is my father. He suddenly fainted at home a few days ago after being startled, and his heart condition flared up. Now he drifts between being conscious and unconscious. With many doctors helpless, we ask for your expertise in heart disease and comas to diagnose my father and prescribe medicine, please?"
