After seeing the nurse give the little guy a fever-reducing injection and then start an IV drip, Jiang Qiao felt a little relieved. The child's fever was not just a simple cold; there was also inflammation in his body.

She took out her needles, wrapped them around the child's clothes, and was about to insert the needle when she noticed the jade pendant around the little guy's neck.

Jiang Qiao was completely stunned. The jade pendant on the child looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it before.

However, she didn't dwell on this point. Since the person was here, she would find out sooner or later.

She quickly gave the child the injection, worried that the medicine would take time to enter the body. She had already heard that the child was mute, and if the fever damaged his brain, it would be a huge loss.

Wen Songtao borrowed a basin and filled it with warm water to wipe the child down and cool him down.

When the child was cleaned up, not only Jiang Qiao, but everyone else was surprised.

"Wow, this child is so good-looking!"

Indeed, the little boy was handsome, and you could tell at a glance that his parents were also good-looking, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to have such a child. Just because the child was good-looking, everyone felt sorry for him. How could such a good-looking child become a beggar? Where were his parents?

Zhou Yaru rarely sighed, "You know, this whole thing is a mess. How did such a good child end up like this?"

Jiang Qiao held the little boy's hand tightly, not letting go. The virus in the boy's body, which she was unsure about, made her feel uncertain. Judging from the situation, it shouldn't have been long ago, but rather recently, that the child had been given poison. The problem was that she still didn't know whether the poison was deadly or had other side effects.

"Grandpa, you stay here and watch over things. Grandma and I will go back first and bring you food in a bit. My mom must be hungry too."

Wen Songtao nodded. "Go back quickly, Grandpa is still here."

The old man knew that it wasn't appropriate to leave all the stuff in the car so openly outside.

Jiang Qiao wasn't one to dawdle; he pulled the old lady out and quickly got into the car to take her home.

Zhou Yaru was also worried about her daughter. She had been out all morning and still didn't know how her daughter was doing.

Jiang Qiao quickly unloaded the things from the car, but seeing that no one was around, she also put them into her spatial storage. Too many things would be too conspicuous.

"Oh, Jiang Qiao is back—"

Meng Yuzhi was returning home from kindergarten with her son when Jiang Qiao was carrying things home.

"Auntie, you're back just in time. My mom is in postpartum confinement, so I'm going to go and get her some food."

Take this, help your younger brother improve his life. Shuanzi, ask your mom to make you some salted eggs.

Jiang Qiao gave Meng Yuzhi not only duck eggs and smoked rabbit, but also some melons, which Meng Yuzhi was too embarrassed to accept.

“Take it back quickly and keep it for your mother. It'll be good for now that she has eggs, but once she finishes her confinement period, she won't get enough nutrition, and your little brother won't have any breast milk. I'll take the melon, but I can't take the rest; they're too precious.”

Jiang Qiao shoved the handful into Meng Yuzhi's hands. "Auntie, don't be so formal with me. What kind of relationship do we have? Why are we being so polite? Take it. After we leave, my mom is still counting on you neighbors to help her out. Don't be shy. I still have to deliver it to the neighbors next door. I can't chat with you anymore. Come over and sit down when you have time."

As soon as Shuanzi saw the meat, the little guy's mouth watered. "Mom, let's have meat for lunch."

Meng Yuzhi smiled and tapped her son's forehead. "Okay, if you want to eat it, Mom will make it for you."

Jiang Qiao excitedly delivered some more meat to the neighbors next door. They were all neighbors, and since they couldn't eat meat all by themselves, they had to let the neighbors have some too, so they would feel more at ease eating it.

While the old lady was washing diapers for her grandson outside, Jiang Qiao hurried to cook.

When Gu Zhengfeng returned, Jiang Qiao had already packed her lunchbox, preparing to take something to see the child.

"Oh, you've taken in a child?"

Zhou Yaru sighed, "That's right. Who would have thought that going out for a walk would lead to something like this? This child isn't an object. Now that we've taken him in, what will we do with him? Judging from his appearance, he doesn't seem to have any parents. If his parents were still alive, who would be willing to let him wander off on the streets?"

Wen Jingwan chimed in from the side, "If it really doesn't work out, we'll just keep him. He's just a child; it's just a matter of having an extra pair of chopsticks."

Gu Zhengfeng turned to look at his daughter. "Girl, what are your thoughts?"

Jiang Qiao sighed, "We'll talk about this later. That child might have other problems. I'll tell you about them later. I'm leaving now."

Jiang Qiao brought not only food and drinks, but also medicine. Since the child was poisoned, she had to try to find an antidote. Although she didn't know what kind of poison it was, she thought that if she tried more, she might be able to find a solution.

In the past, only Wen Songtao was left in the ward. "Grandpa, you go home for dinner, I'll stay here."

Wen Songtao glanced at the IV drip hanging on the child. "Remember to call them later. They're eating. Do you really not need me to stay with you?"

Jiang Qiao smiled and shook her head. "It's nothing serious. You should go now. I've saved some food for you."

After the old man left, Jiang Qiao quickly took out the medicine from her bag. She didn't know if the little guy was thirsty or hungry, but he swallowed the medicine and water as soon as they entered his mouth, which reassured Jiang Qiao a lot.

Looking at the little boy, Jiang Qiao couldn't help but feel that he was looking at her own nephew. For some reason, the child seemed to resemble Xiao Bao from back then in some ways.

Jiang Qiao took out the child's jade pendant and examined it carefully again. When she saw the red dot on the back, her hand trembled.

No wonder this thing looked familiar to her; it had been so long that she hadn't remembered it at the time. But when she saw this red dot, all her childhood memories came flooding back.

This jade pendant is exactly the same as the one her second brother wore back then. She still can't forget that little red dot. When she was little, she often begged to exchange it with her second brother, but her parents wouldn't let her, and she made a fuss about it for a long time.

But why would this thing appear on this child? Wasn't her second brother gone?

If her memory serves her right, the Japanese planes were bombing from the sky and the Japanese soldiers were strafing from below. She clearly saw her second brother get shot and fall into the river, where he was swept away by the water. Now that this thing has reappeared, could it be that her second brother is still alive?

Then another thought popped into her head: perhaps someone found her second brother's body and took the jade pendant?

Regardless of the reason, both possibilities exist. However, just for the sake of this jade pendant that has reappeared in front of her, she must save this child. Perhaps she can learn some information from this child.

Thinking that her second brother might still survive, Jiang Qiao couldn't contain her excitement.

They took out the porridge and fed it to the little boy little by little.
