332: When Boss Xie came to visit, the call of "sister-in-law" made his whole family fall into despair!

"Xiuer, I'm back! Our family is saved!"

Wu Rongkang rushed to his wife, handing her the box containing the medicine.

Li Yixiu was completely stunned.

Her gaze went over her husband's shoulder, landing on the man pushing the cart behind him.

She had seen that person before.

On the Holy Land's public announcement screen, she remembered the core figures of the Cangming Alliance clearly.

Xie Yufeng!

Holy Master Mo Yan's right-hand man!

Li Yixiu's mind went blank, her hands and feet didn't know where to go, she was so nervous she almost fainted.

"Boss Xie... Xie..." She stammered, instinctively wanting to bow.

"Sister-in-law, don't be so polite." Xie Yufeng smiled, stopping the cart at the courtyard entrance, and called out naturally, "I came with Brother Rongkang to take a look."

That "sister-in-law" almost made Li Yixiu cry on the spot.

When had she ever received such respect?

"Quick... please come in!" She hastily wiped her hands, wanting to usher him in, but seeing her own dilapidated wooden house, she stopped, feeling inferior.

"Cough... cough cough cough..."

Inside the house, the old man's violent coughing could be heard, mixed with the weak cries of a baby from hunger.

This sound was like a bucket of cold water, instantly waking Wu Rongkang from his excitement.

He pulled his wife, and rushed into the house with the medicine and milk powder.

Xie Yufeng also followed him in.

The scene inside the house was even worse than he had imagined.

On a wooden bed, an old man with white hair was curled up, and with each cough, black blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

Wu Rongkang rushed to the bedside, unscrewing the bottle of medicine worth fifteen thousand Contribution Points, and carefully helped his grandfather up.

"Grandpa, drink the medicine! You'll be fine after you drink it!"

In the old man's cloudy eyes, the brilliant light of the medicine bottle was reflected, but his emaciated hand pushed Wu Rongkang away with force.

He shook his head with effort, his lips parted, and he used all his strength to squeeze out a few words: "Give... give Xiao Bao... something to eat... I... this old bag of bones... is not worth it..."

"Grandpa! We have money now! You drink it!" Wu Rongkang yelled at his grandfather for the first time, but tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.

He no longer hesitated and directly poured the medicine into the old man's mouth.

A miraculous scene occurred.

As the light green liquid entered his mouth, the constantly bleeding wound on his chest began to heal and scab over at an astonishing speed.

Finally, even the scar disappeared.

The old man's sallow complexion quickly turned rosy, and his previously weak breathing became steady and strong.

He suddenly sat up, feeling the long-lost strength within his body, and an incredible light burst forth from his cloudy eyes.

"I... I'm better?"

On the other side, Li Yixiu also quickly prepared the milk powder, which cost five thousand Contribution Points per serving.

When the bottle was placed in the baby's mouth, the faint crying stopped instantly.

The little one seemed to be using all its strength, sucking in big gulps, and its shriveled little face turned rosy.

Li Yixiu held the child, looked at her grandfather who had undergone a complete transformation, and then looked at her husband, tears streaming down her face.

The old man was also shedding tears of joy, and he held Wu Rongkang's hand, too emotional to speak.

A family, from Hell, returned to the human world.

After crying for a while, Li Yixiu remembered that there was still a distinguished guest in the room, and she, holding the child, was about to kneel before Xie Yufeng.

"Thank you, Boss Xie! Thank you for saving our lives!"

"You mustn't!" Xie Yufeng stepped forward and supported her, "Sister-in-law, don't thank me. All of this was earned by Brother Rongkang himself."

He looked at Wu Rongkang, this man like an iron tower, now crying like a child.

Xie Yufeng walked over and patted him heavily on the shoulder.

He empathized with the joys and sorrows of this family.

He saw his past self in them.

That kind of struggle in despair, the drive to do anything to survive and protect one's family.

"Alright, big man, don't cry anymore." Xie Yufeng's voice was gentle, "Good days are still ahead."

Wu Rongkang wiped his face vigorously and stood up.

This burly man, however, seemed like an uneasy child in front of Xie Yufeng.

"Boss Xie... Xie, I... I don't know what to say."

He was tongue-tied, repeating the same sentence over and over.

"Then don't say anything." Xie Yufeng smiled, "And don't call me 'Boss' anymore, it sounds awkward."

"My name is Xie Yufeng. If you don't mind, just call me Brother Feng, or Xie, either is fine."

"This... how could I dare!" Wu Rongkang shook his head like a rattle-drum.

"What's there to not dare?" Xie Yufeng directly pulled him to sit on a wooden stool, not caring at all about the simple surroundings.

He took out his communicator and sent a message to Chen Yutong.

"Yutong, are you free right now? Help me with something."

The message was almost instantly replied: "Brother Feng, tell me."

"You should have a lot of daily necessities that we stocked up before, right?"

"Prepare some. A set of clothes suitable for an elderly person, a few sets for Brother Rongkang and his wife, and some baby clothes and supplies."

"Oh, and bring some long-lasting foods like jerky and compressed biscuits."

Xie Yufeng thought for a moment, then added, "Bring plenty, don't be afraid to waste. Send them directly to Territory D-9-117."

Chen Yutong was silent for a few seconds, seemingly surprised, but quickly replied: "Okay, I'll prepare them immediately!"

Putting away his communicator, Xie Yufeng looked at the uneasy Wu Rongkang family.

"Sister-in-law, there shouldn't be much to eat at home, right? I'll have a friend send some things over, you can make do with them for now."

Li Yixiu, holding the child, waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, how can that be! We've already..."

"It's alright, Sister-in-law, we're all family, don't be polite." Xie Yufeng interrupted her.

Wu Rongkang, looking at the man who had changed his entire family's fate, finally asked the biggest question in his heart.

"Boss Xie, I don't understand."

"You are a big shot in the Cangming Alliance, a favored person in front of the Holy Master. Why would you go to my broken territory?"

"I'm just a piece of trash with D-grade talent, a worthless life."

"I have nothing here. You helped me push the cart, and now you're visiting my home. What exactly... do you want from me?"

He couldn't figure out this question.

He didn't believe that good things would just fall from the sky, nor did he believe that a big shot from a top power would be so good to a low-level commoner for no reason.

It defied logic.

Xie Yufeng didn't answer immediately. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and offered one to Wu Rongkang.

Wu Rongkang quickly waved his hand; he didn't smoke.
