Jiang Li insisted on leaving, and his reasons were very good. The couple couldn't stop him and could only help him pack up his things.
Jiang Li's family was very poor, and when she came here, she brought nothing with her except herself.
When she left, the captain and his wife gave her two large bags of things.
Among these things were old clothes for adults and children, diapers, food and drinks, and her used drawing board and paintbrushes were also given to her.
When Yao Qiaoyun heard that Jiang Li's family didn't even have a decent bed or quilt, she immediately packed up the mattress and quilt she had slept on and took them away.
The team leader pushed a cart filled with things they had prepared for Jiang Li.
Jiang Li came out of the room holding the two children. Yao Qiaoyun quickly stopped her and wrapped a towel around her forehead.
"Wrap it up so you don't get cold. If a woman doesn't have a man to care for her, she has to care for herself."
Yao Qiaoyun took a baby from Jiang Li, and they each held one.
"Uncle, aunt, what are these things?"
"They are all for you, don't be quick to refuse. You have to use them even if you don't want the child!"
Aunt Yao was right. It was like pinching her soft spot. Jiang Li swallowed all her rebuttals.
"Thank you, uncle and aunt! I'll repay you when I have the chance."
She had said this twice, and she was too embarrassed to say it again. No matter how many times she said it, it would be worse than doing it once.
As soon as Jiang Li left, the captain's relatives gathered together and discussed the matter in a buzzing manner.
"Are Jiang Jie and his wife stupid? Do they really need to be so generous to an outsider?"
"That's right, you keep bringing all your good stuff to other people's homes, and then they don't appreciate it. You don't know what you're getting out of trying to curry favor with them!"
"The old lady's death must have been a huge blow to him. His brain is not working well anymore."
The relatives talked about it and finally came to a conclusion.
If an outsider can take things from their house, why can't they?
They will go back tomorrow, and they will have to bring a lot of luggage with them. They are all relatives, and they can't be compared to an outsider!
When Jiang Li returned home, the house was quiet and her heart sank to the bottom.
Did something happen at home? Otherwise, why would Jiang Yi, a 14-year-old kid, be away so late at night?
"Jiang Yi, Jiang Yi, are you home?"
Jiang Yi, who had been hungry for two days and was already dizzy and weak, suddenly heard his sister calling him. He raised his head slightly and thought he must be dreaming.
My sister has been gone for several days and hasn't come back. Now she suddenly calls his name. It must be because she is too hungry and has auditory hallucinations.
Jiang Yi shook his head hard, not believing what he heard was true.
His head ached, his stomach ached with hunger, and his lips were chapped and dehydrated.
Jiang Yi felt that he was about to die. It didn’t matter if he died. No one liked him anyway, and no one wanted him to live. He would be able to see his parents when he went to heaven, right?
Even without the love of my sister, it’s good to have my parents by my side.
Jiang Yi curled his lips slightly, feeling sweet in his heart.
The captain lit the kerosene lamp on the table. There was not much kerosene left, and the light was dim and could only barely illuminate.
With the dim light, they saw Jiang Yi curled up in the corner.
Jiang Yi's hair was disheveled and his face was pale. He was already thin, and now he was squatting in the corner with his hands on his knees, looking very small.
The moment the kerosene lamp lit up, his eyes also lit up, and then the light in his eyes quickly went out.
"It must be a dream! My sister won't come back, she will never come back!"
Jiang Yi's head hurt more and more. When Jiang Li ran towards him, his body tilted and he fainted.
"Jiang Yi, Jiang Yi, what's wrong with you? Don't scare your sister!"
Jiang Li squatted on the ground holding the boss. She stretched out her cold hand and gently patted Jiang Yi's face, and tried to feel his breathing.
His breathing was very weak and his heartbeat became weak. The situation was not optimistic.
The captain and his wife also walked in. They looked down at Jiang Yi, whose face was pale, and a deep worry flashed through their hearts.
"What happened to this kid? How did he get himself into this state in just a few days?"
Most children in rural areas can cook and do housework. Even if they eat some wild vegetables and tree bark, they can barely fill their stomachs. It is rare for them to starve to death.
"He must have thought I didn't want him anymore, so he refused to eat or drink out of despair."
Jiang Li is his sister, and she has watched his life on TV, so how could she not know his character?
Strong, kind, stubborn, and sometimes a little extreme in his thoughts.
"Isn't this stupid?"
The captain helped Jiang Yi lie down on the bed and covered him with a quilt.
Jiang Li's family was indeed in financial difficulty. There wasn't even a quilt on the bed, just a thick layer of straw.
The quilt I was covering myself with was thin and hard. I didn't know how many years it had been used. It was time to take it to the cotton fluffing place to have the cotton become soft again.
Yao Qiaoyun returned the second child to Jiang Li. She laid out the mat and quilt she had just brought back.
Even the three hot water bottles on the bed were brought over.
Jiang Li placed the two children against the wall. One must be extremely careful when taking care of children. Accidents can happen if one is not careful, especially with such young children.
They are ignorant and extremely dependent on their parents and relatives. If their parents do not take good care of them, it can really cost them their lives.
After settling the two children, Jiang Li came to the bedside and gently touched his forehead.
The little guy's body was cold but his forehead was burning hot. He had tortured himself into having a fever, and he didn't realize it for several days.
