Chapter 4: The First World (4) [Part 2]

When she saw that Chu Wei was really determined to cook, Granny Zhou had no choice but to move out of the kitchen reluctantly. She couldn’t bear to watch the unfortunate fate of these poor ingredients anymore and said, “Okay, but you are only allowed to do it once today, and don’t think about doing it again in the future.”

“Alright, don’t worry, my cooking skills have really improved this time.” Seeing Granny Zhou’s expression, Chu Wei couldn’t guess what she was thinking.

As if remembering something, she asked: “Grandma, didn’t I send Xiao Ji last night?”

“Yes, what’s wrong? Speaking of that lass, I don’t know what to do with her situation. She was injured and can’t walk on her both feet now. In a while, go there and see if she needs any help. Also, I remembered that our family has a wheelchair. If possible, take the wheelchair and give it to her for her to use. For a young girl like her, it’s really not easy to work outside alone. Every time I saw her, I was reminded of the time when you went abroad alone to study. At that time, you must have suffered a lot just like Xiao Ji.”

Granny Zhou sighed, “Living outside alone, how can it be easy.”

“Okay, I’ll send it to her later.” Then, Chu Wei returned the topic to what she had just talked about before, “Grandma, my cooking skills have really improved this time. Last night, I helped Xiao Ji cook a meal and she ate all of it.”

While talking about it, Chu Wei’s face was unusually lively, not all like the cold woman from yesterday.

Granny Zhou found it a little unbelievable. “She really finished all of it? Is that girl Xiao Ji not picky about food? Or maybe…” As if feeling Chu Wei’s innocent gaze, Granny instantly changed her expression and smiled falsely at her, “It seems that my family’s Chu Wei’s cooking skills have improved. Okay, grandma will taste it today.”

It looks like because of what Chu Wei had said, Granny Zhou became a little expectant to her cooking. Her family’s Chu Wei is so smart. Maybe her cooking skills this time have really improved and the food she cooks can be eaten now?

Soon, a table of colorful and fragrant dishes was laid out on the dining table. No one knows if it was intentional or not, but Chu Wei left a portion of food for Ji Mo. She was intending to give it to Ji Mo first before going back to eat. She also took into account Ji Mo’s condition, which makes it inconvenient for her to move around.

Chu Wei thought: If she sends the wheelchair there earlier, Ji Mo can move around in her house easily.

“Grandma, I’ll go there first.”

The wheelchair was foldable, and Chu Wei has great strength. Without exerting any effort, she easily carried the wheelchair in one hand and the meal on her other hand.

Granny Zhou didn’t follow her. She couldn’t wait to try her granddaughter’s cooking first.

If the food was delicious, she had to figure out what words she could use to praise it.

However, if it was not delicious, she has to think of a way how to tactfully refuse it. For the meat, she could say that recently she decided to quit eating it. As for the vegetables, maybe she could say that she became vegetarian?

Over there, when Ji Mo got up early in the morning, she was helpless to know that she couldn’t walk at all. Luckily, there were two stools in the room so she could slowly move to the bathroom, otherwise she might have to crawl over.

After she finished washing up, she planned to hire a helper but found that the price of a helper was too expensive. And the money left in the original owner’s bank card was not enough to hire a helper.

Where did the money the original owner earned from working all these years? In the end, Ji Mo found all kinds of transfer records which were used to support the original owner’s sister to study.

With this meager amount of money in the card, she could only eat takeouts. If worse comes to worse, she can eat steamed buns and porridge everyday.

But she also had to change her bandages, and it was simply impossible for her to go downstairs without the help of others.

Although she was a tenant here, she basically doesn’t know her neighbors. As for her colleagues at work, they were busy working at the company at this moment. There was no way for them to skip work just to come and take care of her.

She can only wait until later and see if she can ask her colleagues who were a bit close to her for help. The original owner also has a lot of suitors, but it was not her style to cause trouble for herself. There was no need to contact people who were already rejected by the original owner.

“It looks very tasty.” Scrolling through the takeouts page, Ji Mo fell into a dilemma. The tasty steamed buns before suddenly became tasteless. As a poor person from the end of the world, how could she withstand the temptation of eating something better?

Just when she was thinking of whether to order a big meal or not, the doorbell rang.

She immediately asked, “Who is it?”

“It’s me.” Chu Wei’s voice returned to its former seriousness.

“Dr. Chu?” Ji Mo quickly moved herself with the help of the two stools. “Wait for a moment.”

After walking two steps, she became tired. This body was too weak, and the arms had no strength at all. She was a little envious of Dr. Chu’s body, who was born with a “natural strength.”

When the door finally opened, what greeted Chu Wei was the Ji Mo who was sweating profusely. Seeing her panting appearance while leaning on the two stools, Chu Wei quickly understood what happened.

“Here, I brought you a wheelchair. You’re sweating all over, let me take you to the bathroom first to wipe it off.”

“That’s too much trouble.” Still, Ji Mo didn’t refuse. In her heart, she was very happy to meet a good person.

Perhaps these are the rare good moments for a small cannon fodder like her.

Chu Wei sent Ji Mo to the bathroom. Both of them were women, so Ji Mo didn’t shy away from it. She also asked Chu Wei to get some clean clothes while she took her clothes off to wipe herself with water.

As a doctor, Chu Wei had seen many things before. As a result, she walked in without any hesitation and stood aside with the clean clothes held in her hands.

“Thanks to Dr. Chu, otherwise I wouldn’t know what to do today?”

Chu Wei subconsciously replied, “Let’s exchange contact information later. If you need any help, you can call me.”

“Alright.”

What Chu Wei brought to Ji Mo was a nightgown. She directly helped her put it on. While doing so, she said: “I brought you some food, but I can’t guarantee its taste.”

“It’s okay, I think it’s delicious.” Ji Mo answered. She saw the food on the table and they looked good. She wasn’t polite to Chu Wei either, so she said this naturally.

When she saw how Ji Mo ate the food bluntly, Chu Wei was assured that her cooking skills had indeed improved.

It was a little strange. It was clear that she hadn’t cooked for a long time. How can her cooking skills improve by leaps and bounds?

“Then I’ll go back first. I’ll come over again to help you change your bandage in the afternoon.”

“I’m really bothering you, Dr. Chu. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely repay you once I recover.”

Seeing Ji Mo’s eyes moving to the food, Chu Wei pursed her lips and smiled.

Sure enough, her cooking skills was getting better and better. She looked at Ji Mo, and even while talking to her, her eyes were still glued on the food. It was obvious that she couldn’t wait to resume eating the food she made, so perhaps it was really delicious?

Chu Wei went back in a good mood. She opened the door and saw Granny Zhou sitting at the dining table. Seeing the untouched food on the table, she was not surprised. She was thinking that Granny Zhou was waiting for her to eat the food together.
