Later, after careful questioning, Tang Xinyi learned that the little girl was an orphan and she depended on her brother for survival.

Some time ago, her brother went out to beg and never came back, so the little girl had been hungry for several days.

Because her brother was not at home and she could not afford to draw water from the well in the yard, she had to rely on the water in the water tank to survive.

The little girl was very worried about her brother, but she was also very obedient and didn't dare to go out easily, so she waited in the yard.

The little girl's name is He Jie and her brother's name is He Xianjun.

Their father was originally a worker in the provincial capital's machinery factory, but he lost his life due to a work mistake, and the machinery factory paid a large sum of compensation.

But the compensation money was snatched away by my aunt's family, and they were not willing to adopt the two children.

The two children were no match for these adults, and their mother had died of illness a few years earlier.

So the two children became homeless wanderers.

Fortunately, their family had a small courtyard. When their father passed away, the factory took the initiative to transfer the title deed of the house to He Xianjun's account.

Originally, her aunt's family wanted to seize their house, but because He Xianjun had been hiding the title deed outside, they had no choice but to give up.

But they did not give up. Instead, they planned to starve the two kids to death and then inherit the house smoothly.

Originally, the two vicious couples were about to succeed, but perhaps God couldn't stand it anymore and let Niu Niu meet Tang Xinyi.

"Your aunt and her husband have done so many evil things, sooner or later God will punish them!"

"Little sister, are you willing to go with me? If you are willing to go with me, I will adopt you in the future!"

It would be useless to call the police for such a thing. Only by letting the two children completely leave this environment can we truly help them.

In that era, every family had several children, and every household had no extra food to support two small children.

Because Tang Xinyi had the help of the space doubling system, she had so much food that she couldn't eat it all, and she still had tens of thousands of dollars in her hands.

In this era when 10,000 yuan is considered a lot of money, the money she has is definitely enough to support countless families.

But Tang Xinyi is not a saint. She decided to help because she liked Niu Niu.

"Sister, I can't go with you. Thank you for giving me food. I still have to wait for my brother here!"

When Tang Xinyi said she would adopt her, He Jie was moved.

But when she thought about the fact that her brother had not returned yet, she decided to give up this opportunity and continue waiting at home.

"Then little sister, can you take me out to find my brother? Once we find my brother, I'll take both of you away!"

"Don't worry, I'm not a bad person. I'll contact your neighborhood committee and formally adopt you two!"

"But I have to make it clear to you that I'm married now and don't have any children!"

"My in-laws may not agree to take you in, but please don't worry, I have a salary and can support you two on my own."

"When the time comes, I will buy a small yard in town, and you will live with your brother in town. You can help me look after the yard and do housework on weekdays so that I can earn money to support you!"

Although she adopted the child, Tang Xinyi doesn't want to keep useless children.

After the children have recovered, they still have to help her with some things, otherwise it is easy to raise ungrateful children.

Only by allowing them to fully integrate into this family can they feel that this is their home and family.

"Sister, are you really willing to adopt me and my brother?"

Niu Niu's heart was filled with emotion. She thought she was going to die, but suddenly she met a sister who was like light.

"Yes, let's go find your brother!"

Tang Xinyi held the little Niuniu in her arms. The child was so light that she didn't even feel her weight when she held her in one hand.

But as soon as she walked out of the yard with Niuniu in her arms, she was stopped by the neighbor next door.

"Where do you want to go with the baby?"

The family knew about the plight of the brother and sister, but they had many children and they themselves could not even get enough to eat, so they had nothing to help them.

But now, when he saw a strange woman holding Niuniu and trying to leave, the neighbor subconsciously stopped her.

"I'm Tang, an officer from the Hongqi Commune Supply and Marketing Cooperative. I plan to adopt this brother and sister. Auntie, you've seen that if no one adopts them, they might not survive this winter!"

Tang Xinyi didn't beat around the bush with her. Although they lived so close, this aunt had never taken care of the two children, so she shouldn't meddle in other people's business now.

"Well, these two children are indeed pitiful. We can't even afford to eat, so we can't help. If you really want to adopt them, that would be great!"

"Are you guys going to look for Xianjun? I think I know where he is. Come with me!"

Seeing that this aunt was not here to stop her and seemed very easy to talk to, Tang Xinyi knew that this was also a person with a miserable life.

It’s not that they don’t want to help, but that they don’t have the ability to help.

The anger that had just surged in Tang Xinyi's heart was suppressed again.

"Girl, if you want to adopt these two children, you'll probably have to go through the Women's Federation. It would be best if you transfer the house to your name, otherwise those two bastard uncles will definitely come and harass you!"

"Alas, we reported the two children's situation to the Women's Federation, but they only sent food once and left them alone!"

"These two children have had a hard life, but don't worry, they are both obedient and sensible. As long as you can feed them, they will definitely repay your kindness when they grow up!"

The aunt kept muttering along the way and led Tang Xinyi and the others to a broken yard with a locked door.

"I heard from my son a while ago that the damned couple had been in and out of this courtyard. Plus, the virtuous king's child hasn't appeared in the past few days. I guess he might be imprisoned here!"

As my aunt said this, she found a big stone nearby and smashed the key on the gate of the courtyard with a "bang bang bang".

After they walked in, they found that the yard was really dilapidated.

But the wall was high enough that a child would not be able to climb out.

My aunt had already rushed into the house, and Tang Xinyi was holding Niuniu, searching room by room.

Finally, He Xianjun was found dying on the haystack in the kitchen.

"elder brother!"

Niu Niu just took a look and tears started to flow out of her eyes.

She struggled to break free from Tang Xinyi's arms and threw herself on her brother.

"Don't touch your brother. He must be hungry. Let me pour him some water first!"

Tang Xinyi knew what was going on at a glance. She took out her thermos from her bag and, not minding the child's dirtiness, poured a cup of water and fed it to the child, whose eyes had already been slightly opened.
