“Cough cough cough…”

The cough sounded full of vicissitudes, as if it was from an old man who was about to die.

With the last bit of his strength, he breathed his last breath.

Qiao Anle's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

The three kids had never encountered such a thing before and were all shocked.

They subconsciously hugged Qiao Anle's thighs and shrank towards her.

Qiao Anle's existence has become the safest haven in their hearts.

Qiao Anle silently patted the shoulders of the three children.

She was tall, so she could see through the half-board door.

Just a glance.

Qiao Anle could see the whole room clearly.

The house was a small, square woodshed with no windows. It was pitch black, with only some light coming through the mottled walls.

In the light and shadow, you can even see the dust floating in the air.

The air is very turbid.

Inside the house, there was no furniture, not even a decent bed.

Pile some stones on the four corners, put a wooden board on the stones, and then spread some hay on it, and you have a place to sleep.

Liu Chunsheng couldn't sleep on a bed like this.

Because there, lying there, was an old man with gray hair and wrinkles all over his face.

The old man was covered with a single thin blanket.

That is the most valuable thing in Liu Chunsheng's house.

He couldn't bear to use it himself, so he covered Grandpa Liu with it.

Qiao Anle looked around and could hardly see a second clean place. He didn't know where Liu Changchun slept at night.

Maybe he just lay down on a straw mat and slept on the ground.

She felt depressed and uncomfortable because of everything she saw.

aside.

Liu Chunsheng's expression kept changing, filled with lingering embarrassment.

He was afraid of seeing disgust and hatred on Qiao Anle's face.

Even if it was just a tiny bit, it was enough to make the young man feel uncomfortable as if he was being pricked by needles.

His feet, wearing worn shoes, were curling up silently.

The boy hesitated and spoke again.

"My house is too dirty, you'd better not go in."

Qiao Anle nodded slightly.

It wasn't that she disliked the dirtiness of Liu Chunsheng's house, but the space inside was too small. If she and her three children went in, there would be hardly any room to turn around.

"Let's just stand here and talk. It's the same thing. Chunsheng, is that... your grandfather?"

Qiao Anle asked cautiously.

When talking about Grandpa Liu, Liu Chunsheng's emotions were much more natural than when he talked about the dilapidated house.

He said in a calm tone.

"Yes, he is my grandfather. He has been ill for several years. When our family still had money, we consulted a doctor and took a lot of medicine. But the doctor said it was useless. My grandfather's illness was caused by overwork and could not be cured."

At the end.

Liu Chunsheng lowered his head and shook it gently.

Qiao Anle heard this and felt a heavy pain in his heart.

She really couldn't imagine how much pain and sadness a young boy of this age must have experienced to be able to face death so calmly.

Liu Chunsheng's parents died when he was very young.

He grew up with his grandfather.

Grandpa Liu is his only relative.

Without Grandpa Liu, he no longer has any other relatives in this vast world.

Qiao Anle in her previous life understood that feeling of loneliness best.

Qiao Anle looked at Liu Chunsheng's lowered face, and still saw sadness in the corner of his eyes.

The boy tried with all his strength to hide his emotions.

Qiao Anle couldn't bear to expose Liu Chunsheng's calmness and disguise.

She changed the subject.

"Chunsheng, when we were at the river before, you left in a hurry and I didn't have time to say thank you. Thank you for saving our third child. If it weren't for you, he might have really died. Our whole family will always remember this kindness. These..."

Qiao Anle put down everything he brought.

Continue solemnly.

"These are some food I prepared. There is rice, noodles, and some meat. They are our family's thank you gift. I hope you can accept them."

After Qiao Anle finished speaking.

The three cubs immediately spoke with gratitude.

The eldest and second cubs said, "Brother Chunsheng, thank you for saving the third cub."

Sanzai: "Brother Chunsheng, Mom and Dad have taught me a lesson. I will never go to the river again. Thank you for saving me from the river. You are my benefactor."

Sanzai's words were naturally taught by Qiao Anle.

At his age, it is still difficult for him to understand what a "benefactor" is.

But he knew that without the young man in front of him, there would be no him.

So this brother Chunsheng is a very important person!

The third child blinked his big eyes and stared at Liu Chunsheng with his bright dark gaze.

After saying "thank you".

He also walked forward and hugged Liu Chunsheng.

"Brother Chunsheng, mother said that from now on, you will be my brother just like my eldest and second brothers! So this is for you to eat!"

Sanzai used his little hand to stuff something into Liu Chunsheng's hand.

From the moment Liu Chunsheng was hugged by Sanzai, his whole body became tense and stiff.

He was so dirty, his clothes hadn't been washed for many days and were covered with stains and dirt.

But Qiao Anle looked at him with a smile.

Sanzai even opened his hand and hugged him.
