If Ji Xingzhi were here, he would be extremely surprised that this woman dressed like a village woman, with a disfigured face and dark yellow skin, was actually the gorgeous He Wan.
He Wan glanced at everyone, took the little boy from the aunt's arms, put him on the ground, and said to the little boy, "Momo, go to the kitchen to heat up the porridge and bring it in for big brother."
He smiled silently and nodded, then said happily, "Okay."
Then he squeezed out of the crowd and went to the kitchen next door to heat up the porridge.
"Mrs. Chen, is that man awake?" the aunt who had just picked up Momo asked with a smile.
He Wan nodded slightly and said, "I'm awake, but I'm still not very energetic. Aunt Lin, it's getting late today. My husband and the other young master need to rest. How about you come back tomorrow?"
He Wan spoke so gently that Aunt Lin suddenly felt a little embarrassed. There was a patient at home and it was really offensive for them to come here so rashly. The daughter-in-law of the Chen family was not angry at all. She also spoke to her in a kind and negotiating tone, which not only made her feel rude, but also made everyone feel ashamed.
Aunt Lin had no choice but to nod and greet everyone, and the group left in a mighty manner.
At that time, Mo Mo had already walked over with a big bowl of steaming porridge.
He Wan glanced at the porridge in Momo's hand, touched Momo's head and said, "Momo, take good care of big brother. Mother will go to the next room to see if your father has been woken up."
Silently nodded and said, "Okay."
He Wan turned and walked towards the other side of the house. This wooden house had two rooms, the main room in the middle, and a square kitchen built of loess on the right. The roof was covered with thick old bark. The house looked shaky and tilted to the right, as if it would collapse if not carefully watched. The people who lived in such a house could be said to be very poor.
He Wan walked into the room and closed the door. Looking at Chen Yi who had already sat up on the bed, He Wan smiled slightly, took off his coat and threw it on the stool beside him, took off the wooden hairpin, untied the cloth towel and put it on his clothes, walked to the bed, took off his shoes, lifted the quilt and sat on it.
"How is he?" Chen Yi asked.
He Wan thought for a moment and said, "Although it looks like nothing serious, he must have suffered severe internal injuries. However, judging by his condition, it's probably not a major impact."
Chen Yi nodded and suddenly smiled, "We're all struggling to make ends meet, yet my wife still brought him back. She'd rather starve herself than let him stay. She's truly kind-hearted."
He Wan paused for a moment after hearing this and continued, "My husband, I'm not kind at all. When I saw him on the mountain, I knew from his clothes and appearance that he was no ordinary man. My husband, you used to work in the palace, so you should have seen that this man was either rich or noble. If he's not a bad person, he might be grateful to us for saving him. But if he's a bad person, I accept it. After all, we can't survive for a few days without food."
Momo is a smart and good child. He is now eight years old. I want to send him to school in town, but you also know our current situation. Your illness has been dragging on and we can't pay for the medicine just by selling embroidery. If your medicine is cut off and something happens, how are Momo and I, an orphan and a widow, going to survive?
My husband, I saved him not out of kindness, but for our own sake. I don't want to hide it from you."
