When Jiang Qiaoqiao arrived at Zhou Yang's house, she was shocked by the poverty.

Although she knew that Zhou Yang and his sister were having a hard time, she thought that at least they had a house left by their parents to live in.

Unexpectedly, the brother and sister were living in a makeshift shack, supported by bamboo poles and covered with a tattered tarpaulin that they had picked up from some garbage dump.

Even a slightly strong wind could blow their house away, let alone a heavy rain.

"Brother, you're back!"

As soon as Jiang Qiaoqiao followed Zhou Yang to the entrance of the shack, she heard excited voices coming from inside.

Then a little girl, so thin she was practically skin and bones, happily shuffled from the shack toward Zhou Yang, supporting herself with her hands and dragging one leg.

Zhou Yang quickly picked up his younger sister, "Ling'er, be good. Your legs hurt. Didn't I tell you to stay home and not move?"

Zhou Ling'er's face was deathly pale, and beads of sweat even seeped from her forehead, clearly indicating that she was enduring the pain.

The little girl seemed to have long been used to the pain and didn't care at all. She touched the bruises on Zhou Yang's skin with her little hands and asked with concern, "Brother, are you hurt? Does it hurt a lot?"

Zhou Yang forced a reassuring smile, "It's nothing, just a minor injury, it doesn't hurt at all."

Looking at the brother and sister who depended on each other for survival, Jiang Qiaoqiao felt even more guilty. She stepped forward and said to Zhou Ling'er, "Ling'er, your brother was injured while fighting with bad guys to protect me."

Zhou Ling'er blinked her big, bright eyes, looking at Jiang Qiaoqiao and then at Huo Beixiao.

Finally, his gaze settled on Jiang Qiaoqiao's face, "Fairy Sister!"

Jiang Qiaoqiao's heart almost melted when she saw the sparkling light in Zhou Ling'er's eyes.

She reached out and pinched Zhou Ling'er's thin little face. "Ling'er has such a sweet mouth."

Zhou Ling'er said earnestly, "Sister gave Ling'er and brother a lot of money, so Ling'er and brother don't have to go hungry. Sister is a beautiful and kind fairy."

Jiang Qiaoqiao felt a wave of tenderness wash over her.

"Coo coo coo..."

As soon as Zhou Ling'er finished speaking, his stomach started rumbling.

Zhou Yang scratched the back of his head apologetically, "Ling'er, I'm sorry, brother didn't bring back any food today."

Zhou Ling'er's smile remained unchanged, and the little girl even comforted Zhou Yang, saying, "Brother, it's okay, Ling'er isn't very hungry either."

Looking at Zhou Ling'er's sensible appearance, Jiang Qiaoqiao felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

Some distant memories flashed through her mind, but she quickly put them behind her.

"Come on, I'll take you to eat something delicious."

As soon as Jiang Qiaoqiao finished speaking, Huo Beixiao followed her into the shack and handed the siblings a bag of large meat buns, saying, "Eat some buns to fill your stomachs first."

Zhou Yang glanced at Huo Beixiao, then at Jiang Qiaoqiao.

"Thank you." Jiang Qiaoqiao thanked him gratefully, took the steamed bun from Huo Beixiao, and handed it to Zhou Yang.

"Hurry up and eat with your sister, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

Zhou Yang opened the packaging bag, looked at the steaming hot meat buns, and couldn't help but tear up. "Brother Beixiao, Sister Qiaoqiao, thank you."

Since his parents passed away, he and his sister had long been used to being looked down upon and treated coldly. Now that someone was suddenly being so kind to them, he felt a little uncomfortable.

After the brother and sister finished eating the steamed buns, Jiang Qiaoqiao and Huo Beixiao, along with Zhou Yang, took Zhou Ling'er to the hospital.

Zhou Ling'er is not even five years old, but she already knows that going to the hospital will cost a lot of money.

Upon arriving at the hospital entrance, the little girl immediately began to wriggle and resist on Zhou Yang's back, saying, "Brother, Ling'er doesn't want to go to the hospital, she wants to go to the hospital to feel the pain!"

Jiang Qiaoqiao saw right through the girl's thoughts.

It wasn't that she was afraid of pain; she clearly knew that going to the hospital would cost a lot of money, and her brother didn't have any.

Afraid that his sister would struggle and fall off his back, Zhou Yang quickly stopped and tightened his grip on Zhou Ling'er's legs.

Jiang Qiaoqiao patted Zhou Ling'er's little head, "Ling'er, let's go to the hospital to treat your leg. Your older brother and sister will be with you, don't be afraid."

Ling'er tried to break free from her brother's back, but couldn't.

Seeing that she was about to be admitted to the hospital, the little girl became so anxious that her eyes reddened and tears rolled down her cheeks.

He hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, don't go to the hospital. It costs a lot of money, and I don't have any..."

The little girl finally burst into tears.

Jiang Qiaoqiao felt a pang of sadness.

Children from poor families mature early, and this little girl is so sensible it's heartbreaking.

"Ling'er, don't worry, I have money. You don't need to worry about anything. Just focus on healing your leg. I'll pay for it." Jiang Qiaoqiao's voice softened even more.

Zhou Ling'er stared at Jiang Qiaoqiao with her mouth slightly agape in shock.

After a while, the little girl looked at Jiang Qiaoqiao with a determined expression on her small face, "Fairy sister, thank you. When Ling'er grows up and earns money, Ling'er will take care of you."

"Haha!" Jiang Qiaoqiao couldn't help but laugh again. "Okay, then I'll wait for Ling'er to grow up and make money. Before Ling'er grows up, don't be polite with me."

Huo Beixiao had already made an appointment for Zhou Ling'er.

While examining Zhou Ling'er's leg, the middle-aged doctor frowned and kept complaining.

“What kind of older brothers and sisters are you? You only brought the little girl to the hospital now. Her bones have already grown crooked. Now we have to break the bone that has grown out and set it again. The little girl will have to suffer again.”

Zhou Yang was embarrassed after being scolded by the doctor. "Doctor, it's my fault. I didn't take good care of my sister. I..."

Although the doctor may be a bit harsh when reprimanding people, he actually has a kind heart.
