"Let's go and have dinner." Hu Xiaoyi didn't even look at Li Aihua, he left the house and went to the hall to have dinner with Hu Guangjie.
Li Aihua tucked in the quilt for Hu Lin. Her hands were shaking with excitement and her eyes were slightly red.
For the first time in her half-life, she experienced what it felt like to have someone stand up for her.
Only after Li Aihua left did Hu Lin open his eyes. He frowned in disgust and pulled away the quilt that was covering her chin.
A musty smell.
The house was not soundproof, and she could vaguely hear what Hu Chunsheng said in the living room.
Thanks to what the fourth wife said, now all the eggs given by the Yang family are hers.
The fourth room in the family seems to be normal, and as far as I can remember, he has never oppressed the little girl. We can observe him in the future, and maybe we can cooperate.
Hu Lin ate the egg custard slowly.
Although there was no oil or water, the eggs of this era were delicious, and even with just a little salt added, they tasted unique.
When Hu Xiaoyi returned to his room after dinner, he saw that Jian Ya had woken up and had finished eating the egg custard on the small table on the kang. He stood there in a daze for a moment.
As soon as Hu Lin saw Hu Xiaoyi's expression, he knew that Hu Xiaoyi must have thought that he had really fainted before.
"Dad, I was so hungry that I woke up when I smelled the egg custard. Was it you who brought the egg custard to me?"
"Ah, no, your second uncle brought it over." Hu Xiaoyi came back to his senses and went to the kang. "Glad you're awake. The kitchen has left some food for you. Go and eat."
After Hu Xiaoyi finished speaking, he took off his straw sandals and went to bed for a nap.
When Hu Lin saw the mud spots on his trouser legs, he felt a chill in his heart.
How unhygienic!
"I'll go later. I'm still a little dizzy." If I go out now and run into the old lady and the people from the second house, there will be chaos again.
Hu Xiaoyi is really a brainless person.
When Li Aihua finished washing the dishes and cleaning up the kitchen and returned to the house, she saw Hu Lin woke up. He said similar things to Hu Xiaoyi, and then she also went to the kang to take a nap.
Hu Lin: "..."
Didn’t Hu Chunsheng say that he would take her to the health room when she woke up?
As expected, the couple's only requirement for her was to stay alive.
Hu Lin slowly got off the kang, took the porcelain bowl of egg custard and went to the kitchen.
The rice left for her was covered in an enamel basin. When Hu Lin opened the lid and saw two gray steamed buns, he was stunned.
Just give her this to eat?
Can this thing be eaten?
Hu Lin picked up the hard steamed bread with doubt, and took a bite with a little doubt.
Oh my god, it’s so hard!
This thing is useless!
But it's still quite fragrant, and the taste of whole grains is pure.
After a nap, Hu Xiaoyi carried Hu Lin to the health room.
Doctor Zhao also knew that Hu Lin's medical expenses were paid by the village chief's family, so he gave Hu Lin an IV drip to reduce inflammation.
They said the weather was starting to get hot, and the wound wouldn't heal easily without anti-inflammatory treatment.
Doctor Zhao asked Hu Xiaoyi to go back if he had anything to do and he would help watch the patient. Seeing this, Hu Xiaoyi went back first.
After Hu Xiaoyi returned, Hu Lin asked, "Doctor Zhao, why did you shave all my hair?"
Doctor Zhao, who was writing medical records at his desk, looked up at Hu Lin and asked in surprise, "Why do you think you are ugly?"
"Of course. I used to have long braids, but now I have no hair. Grandma said they will laugh at me."
Hu Lin tried his best to imitate the tone of voice of a five-year-old child, and dragged the old lady out to imitate him to make her words seem more real.
"It's a joke, but it's better than losing your life." Doctor Zhao explained to Hu Lin patiently, "When your father brought you here, you were soaking wet. He told me that you had a head injury. I saw that your hair was a mess and the situation was urgent, so I had to shave it all off. I hope you won't blame me, little girl."
"Of course not." It must be because his hair exploded when he was struck by lightning and then got caught in the rain.
"Doctor Zhao, do you have any nutritional supplements?" The meals at home could not be relied upon, and if one wanted to recover one's health, one had to seek help from outside.
"Why are you asking that?"
"The village chief said he wanted to adopt me as his goddaughter, and I want to get better soon." She needed a healthy body to practice martial arts.
"We don't have any use for these in our village. Nutritional products are only available in the county."
"I can use it now." Hu Lin hinted to Dr. Zhao.
Doctor Zhao smiled and said, "You seem like a different person now, little girl. You've finally gotten the hang of it!"
"Can Dr. Zhao help me?"
"Nutritional supplements are very expensive." Dr. Zhao declined.
Although Hu Lin's medical expenses are paid by the village chief's family, they may not be willing to spend so much money on the little girl.
They only come to the clinic to see a doctor when they can no longer put it off.
If I agree to the bitch's request today and the village chief denies it when we settle the accounts tomorrow, who will pay for it? The Hu family is notoriously stingy and is unlikely to pay.
In the end, he was the one who had to pay, and he couldn't afford to be taken advantage of.
"The village chief said that he would cover all my expenses until I recover."
"You are still young, and you don't understand many things. So, if you can get the village chief or your grandfather to come and talk to me, I will buy you some nutritional supplements next time I go to the county to buy medicine."
Alas, it’s troublesome to get things done with this small body.
Even if she made any promises, people wouldn't believe it!
"Doctor Zhao, how about we make a bet?"
"Oh! Tell me about it."
"How about we bet that at the end of the year, the village chief will acknowledge all the expenses I spent?"
"If I lose, I'll let you go back to the city, how about that?" Getting something for nothing, this trick was perfect for Dr. Zhao.
Doctor Zhao has been in Xiaohe Village for many years. No one knows why he came here, except that he was a city dweller before.
Doctor Zhao put down the pen in his hand and said, "What you said makes me wonder if you are still a bitch."
The previous words could be said to be an awakening, but what he said now was not something a kid of this age could say.
Hu Lin knew that there was a risk of being exposed, but she had to do it.
She is now alone and helpless, and with her frail body, she must find a helper.
"Of course I am me. You know what happened to me. I wonder if you have ever heard of the saying that those who survive in desperate situations will encounter extraordinary things."
"Doctor Zhao, guess what my adventure was?"
It was just a pie in the sky! The more mysterious the better. She didn't believe that Dr. Zhao wouldn't take the bait.
"You said you could get me back to the city, but do you know how I ended up in the country?"
Doctor Zhao is also an intellectual. Although he was somewhat moved, he did not lose his mind.
"I don't know, and I don't need to know. I always keep my word."
“Arrogant!”
"Why should I trust a little kid like you? You don't even know why I came here, and you still say you can let me go back to the city. Isn't that just wishful thinking?"
Doctor Zhao was irritated by Hu Lin's conceited attitude, simply because Hu Lin's current appearance was so similar to his appearance back then.
