After playing with the three children for a while, Yin Lan called the two children into the room, then took out all the clothes and compared them one by one.

Erwa stood helplessly in front of her.

The eldest child's body trembled slightly, and his eyes turned red.

"mother..."

Are we really going to give him away?

Yin Lan looked at the tattered clothes in her hands. Some belonged to her cheap husband, and some were her own. There were almost no clothes for the children. In other words, the two children wore the same clothes all year round.

In the summer, they would wash their clothes in the river and let them dry directly on their bodies; in the winter, they wouldn't wash at all. It's a miracle that the two kids have survived to this day.

Even though the clothes are too big, I'll just wear them for now.

In this kind of weather, with a drafty house, taking a shower is impossible, but you can wipe it down.

Yin Lan asked Da Wa to boil water. If you don't use a child, you're bound to be crazy. Chen Yiqi was overjoyed to be ordered around by his mother and jumped up and ran out.

Erwa wanted to go out with her, but Yinlan stopped him and picked out some suitable clothes for him first.

"mother..."

These are all precious clothes, what's the point of this? If he accidentally gets them dirty, Mom will probably beat him.

Yin Lan looked at the baby's hands covered in chilblains and took out some chilblain cream.

Erwa shrank back in fright, "Mom, I was wrong..."

"If you're wrong, you can't move!" She wanted to check his hands, but the child kept moving around. Sure enough, she yelled, and the child stopped moving.

It seems that for the time being, I will still have to deal with them the way the original owner did. What to do if the kids are disobedient? Just scold them.

Seeing that his mother was really angry, Erwa was so scared that he didn't dare to move. Feeling Yinlan approaching, he trembled and couldn't help but cry.

As a result, the expected pain of being hit did not occur.

He felt an unfamiliar touch on his hand, followed by a slightly cool sensation. He opened his eyes and saw his mother holding his hand, wiping something white.

His hands were often unbearably itchy from frostbite, and now they were even broken and oozing pus. Even so, he and his brother still had to brave the freezing cold to go out and cut pig feed and find wild vegetables, and then beg for some food, otherwise they would go hungry for several days in a row.

He thought he was already used to the bleeding, pus, and pain in his hands, but now, seeing his mother's actions, Erwa's eyes slowly reddened.

It feels so good on my hands. Just now, his hands were itchy and painful, and they were swollen beyond recognition. But after Mom applied this stuff, the itching stopped and the pain lessened. He felt so happy, like he was in heaven.

Mother even lowered her head and blew on it.

So gentle, is she still his mother?

"Does it hurt?" Yin Lan couldn't bear to look at her hand, and her throat tightened.

Erwa's eyes were red, but he grinned and said, "It doesn't hurt!"

But the next second, he bit his lip and tears streamed down his face.

"It doesn't hurt at all!"

Yin Lan's throat felt even tighter.

The original owner really... sigh...

Just then, the eldest child brought in the hot water. Yin Lan told the two children to take off their clothes, which were so dirty that the original color was no longer visible. But as soon as they took them off, she...

Forehead.

A single mother might feel a little uncomfortable seeing her baby completely naked.

She coughed awkwardly, "Um, you guys wash yourselves, make sure you're all clean!"

Then she stood up and slightly blocked the drafty parts of the house.

The baby was wiped in a few quick strokes, which was practically nothing. Oh well, it's the dead of winter. She'll have to build a bathroom later, otherwise the baby won't have a bath, and she can't do anything about it herself. Right now, this family really has nothing.

The task is arduous and the road ahead is long!

After wiping them clean, Yin Lan gave the chosen clothes to each of the two children, but neither of them dared to touch them.

"Put it on," Yin Lan said, handing it to her.

The second child looked at the eldest child, who pursed his lips.

He considered himself a strong child, having taken care of his two younger brothers since he was very young. Even if his mother wanted to give them away, he would never cry.

At most, he could ask his mother to send them to the same household so that he could continue to take care of his younger brother.

But when he actually asked the question, his voice trembled, and he even sounded like he was about to cry.

Deep down, he was actually very afraid of being sent away.

He didn't like his mother, but today's mother was very different.

Not only did they not hit him, they also fed them such delicious rice and meat.

He couldn't bear to part with it.

Although this home is dilapidated and small, and people sometimes don't even have enough to eat.

Even if there is no rice or meat to eat in the future, and he has to continue eating wild vegetables and tree bark, he is willing to stay. He does not want to be given away.

"Mother, send me away, but leave Erwa behind!" Chen Yiqi gritted his teeth.

Yin Lan was taken aback.

What's wrong with this kid's thought process?

But seeing his stubborn yet reddened eyes, my heart softened instantly.

Looking into his eyes, she said, "Who said your mother was going to give you away?"

Chen Yiqi had forgotten that he was a man and couldn't help but sob, but he stubbornly turned his head and said, "You give us good food and clothes, just to send us away."

Yin Lan felt a bitter taste in her mouth.

She has shouldered too much at such a young age.

She gently comforted him, "You can do so many things. If we send you away, who will cook for us?"

Chen Da Wa's eyes lit up, but he was still somewhat skeptical.

Yin Lan held his little hand.

Chen Yiqi froze.

“I won’t give you away. Didn’t I say I’ll never send anything to your uncle again? We have the money your father sent, so we’ll definitely eat and dress well from now on. If your father comes back and doesn’t see you, how am I supposed to explain it to him?”

Mentioning his father, Chen Da-wa finally believed it. His father had doted on him and fed him many delicious things. The time his father came back, he was the happiest child in the whole village. His father was so tall, everyone said his father was very handsome, and his father was so strong. But after his father left, everything changed. Thinking of his father, Chen Da-wa's eyes reddened even more. "Really? I don't believe it."
