"Youyou, come and look. This is the room I prepared for you. The bed is small and old. After Anzi rests, I'll take you to find someone to make you a good one."

Xia Youyou entered the other side of the main hall and opened the door. Next to it was a washbasin stand with a brand new towel hanging on it. On the second shelf was a mouthwash cup. Under the quilt were new toothbrushes and the toothpaste she'd found at the supply and marketing cooperative that day. There was even a brand new enamel basin. Looking past the shelf and under the window, she saw a slightly worn desk with a notebook and pencil on it. Her heart ached, and she took Liu Hui's hand.

"Thank you, Mom."

Liu Hui's heart softened. She tightened her grip around her skinny hands, and with a heartbroken expression, she pulled her down to sit on the bed. "Try it and see if it's soft. If it's uncomfortable, we can put another layer on top. We have some leftover cotton at home." She had always wanted a daughter, and after years of being a widow, she unexpectedly found a daughter. She was determined to raise her until she was plump and fair!

Xia Youyou touched the coarse sheets beneath her, the soft bed board, and suddenly felt that her tent didn't smell any better. The bed was a little small, but she really liked it! The bed was about a meter wide, with bamboo poles holding up the tent tent at the four corners. The tent tent still smelled like a camphorwood box, which must have just been taken out of the box. Looking at the box at the foot of the bed, this must have been prepared by her mother.

Tears welled up in her eyes without warning. "Thank you!" She was truly grateful, feeling like thank you wasn't enough to express her feelings. She secretly resolved to repay them well.

Liu Hui looked at the skinny girl with distress. Tears fell from her tearful eyes like pearls falling from a string. She sat down beside her, took her skinny little hand, and slowly stroked it. "This will be your home from now on. Tell mom if you want anything. Your brother earns a lot of money and can support you."

She shook her head, not wanting Cao An to raise her. She had more than enough food in her own space. She bit her lip, wondering if she should tell her mother about this.

Cao An saw her brows lowered in confusion and coughed. Seeing her looking over, he shook his head gently. It was good that he knew about this. It wasn't that he didn't trust his mother, but he was afraid she'd worry if she knew. She was worried about everything, and he couldn't let her worry about it anymore.

Xia Youyou saw his hint and suppressed the words on the tip of her tongue, "I can also go out and make money. I can't eat for free!"

"What do you mean by eating for free? I adopted you as my daughter because I can afford to raise you. Don't worry about making money, just leave it to your brother." After saying that, he turned around and winked at Cao An.

Cao An accepted it and said with a smile: "Well, brother will support you!" This girl has everything in her space, it's a bit ridiculous to say that he will support her.

Liu Hui grabbed the hands of the two people and said, "Yes, we will be a family from now on. You two brothers and sisters must support each other and be good. Only then will mom be relieved after she passes away!" In the past two years, she has felt more and more unable to do what she wants, and her movements have become a little slow. She is only 45 years old, but she is hunched over like a person in her 50s.

The brother and sister's hearts tightened, and they looked at each other. Xia Youyou nodded at him. She had a solution. No matter what the disease was, the medicine in her space could cure it. Unless it was terminal cancer...

"Mom, don't say such discouraging words. Life is just getting better. Now you even have the daughter you've been longing for. How far away can good days be in the future?" Cao An squatted down, took out his hand and covered the small hands of the mother and daughter with his big palm.

"Our family will get better and better in the future." He is looking forward to the future and hopes his mother can see it!

Xia Youyou was filled with confidence, her other skinny hand covering his large palm. "I'll protect you too!" In a few years, the gangsters from Hong Kong will spread to the mainland, affecting the situation there. Public security will continue to deteriorate. Cao An was a police officer and knew nothing about these dangers. She had to protect him!

Cao An touched her soft, fluffy hair with amusement. Her hair was dry, yellow, and frizzy due to malnutrition. "You should gain some weight first before you talk about protecting us!" If he didn't know the details, he would have simply ignored her words and treated them as a joke!

She snorted proudly, "Just wait and see!" It was only a matter of time before she gained weight. She drank milk every morning and evening, so she would definitely grow taller! She had been feeling much more energetic in the past few days, so it seemed her body functions had gradually recovered.

The three of them were happily enjoying themselves in the room when there was a knock on the door. Liu Hui got up to open it. Xia Youyou waited for Liu Hui to leave before whispering to Cao An, "Tonight, while Mom is asleep, I'll check her body. The space has a body scan that can diagnose all kinds of illnesses. I also have medicine. As long as it's not a congenital heart disease like mine or late-stage cancer, I can treat it!"

"You have a heart condition?"

"Yes, Liu Daya has it."

Cao An frowned, "Can't be cured?"

Xia Youyou shook her head. "It would be fine if we could replace it with an artificial heart in the future, but not in this era. Even if I could, I can't replace it for myself!"

Cao An looked at her distressedly. Heart disease has a huge impact on a person. He had seen people who were raised in pampered care but eventually died of shock because they couldn't withstand the shock. Thinking of the pills she took out last night, he asked, "So you still need to take medicine now?"

"You have to take medicine. Whenever you have palpitations or arrhythmias, you have to take medicine to suppress them. If you can't get a heart transplant, you'll be dependent on medicine for the rest of your life." She sighed, "As long as I'm alive, I'm fine. Don't worry too much!"

"Do you have enough medicine?"

She smiled and nodded, "It's enough. My parents' things are all here with me. There's a lot in there."

There were footsteps outside, and the two dropped the topic.

"Your Uncle Zhao sent me a cardboard box. Eucalyptus, come out and help me carry it!"

The brother and sister walked out of the room one after another. Xia Youyou saw a man in his fifties following Liu Hui and took a curious look.

Cao An returned to his indifferent and expressionless demeanor, nodded to the man as a greeting, took the box from him, and placed it directly in the main hall.

"Who is this girl? She looks unfamiliar!" Old Zhao looked at the short and thin girl dressed in black curiously.

"This is my cousin's child. Her family couldn't afford to raise her, so I adopted her as my own daughter." Liu Hui put the box away and took Xia Youyou's hand. "This child is so pitiful. Her family couldn't afford to raise her and had to abandon her. I just happened to need a daughter, so I registered her household registration with my family."

Old Zhao curled his lips. These days, every family has a poor relative, but he didn't know how she could still afford to support her daughter. It seemed Cao An's salary was quite good! His eyes twinkled, and he smiled. "My daughter is good. She can help you with work."

Xia Youyou did not miss the greed in his eyes. This man was very tricky.
