"You're welcome."
Looking at his sallow, thin face, which was nothing but skin and bones, Lin Jingyu felt a pang of sadness.
Although people in this era lived in poverty, it would be rare to see someone so thin in a county town.
"Little girl~"
The man struggled to his feet, leaning against the wall. "You go ahead and do what you need to do. I can go back by myself."
“You’re…”
Seeing his unsteady gait, Lin Jingyu said, "Why don't I take you home?"
It wasn't that she was being overly kind; she could just see through it.
The person in front of me would probably fall down and be unable to get up after walking only a few steps.
"Thank you, but it's no trouble at all."
The man looked apologetic and declined her offer.
He slowly walked out.
He walked with a limp, clearly his leg was lame.
As expected.
With a thud, he fell to the ground.
"Uncle, let me take you there!"
Lin Jingyu quickly caught up with him.
She took his arm by the elbow and said as they walked, "Uncle, I don't have anything urgent to do. I'll leave after I take you home."
"Little girl~"
The man's face was full of bitterness. "You'd better leave me alone. It would be a sin for you to be implicated because of me."
"Uncle, I'm not afraid."
Lin Jingyu smiled and said, "If I dare to hit someone, I'm not afraid of them causing trouble."
In her past life, her college roommate was a disciple of the Emei Sect. At the time, her roommates were all curious and followed her to practice boxing, kicking, and wielding spears and sticks.
Of the six people, only she persisted for several years.
Even though she has a different body now, she won't forget what's etched into her soul, and she's still confident she can handle two or three thugs.
"you……"
The man stared blankly at the confident and optimistic girl.
His cold heart finally felt warmth.
He looked away and said softly, "My name is Lu Qingyang."
"Uncle Lu."
Lin Jingyu gave him a sweet smile.
"Hmm~"
Lu Qingyang didn't say anything more.
The two walked slowly, and under Lu Qingyang's guidance, they finally arrived at a beautiful house after many twists and turns.
Lin Jingyu never expected that the person in front of her would live in such a nice place.
"Come in!"
Lu Qingyang didn't explain, but invited her in.
Just as Lin Jingyu was about to leave, she suddenly heard a baby crying inside.
Hearing the child crying, Lu Qingyang paused in his tracks.
He quickly showed signs of urgency and wanted to rush inside.
Lin Jingyu had no choice but to follow him inside.
The two had just come in.
A woman was seen running out of the kitchen, soothingly saying, "Baby, baby, there will be food soon, baby, don't cry..."
She had just picked up her child when she saw the two people standing at the door.
A smile immediately appeared on his face. "Qingyang, you're back."
Upon seeing Lin Jingyu, he paused again, "Who is this?"
"Yalin, this one..."
It was only then that Lu Qingyang realized he didn't know the little girl's name.
Lin Jingyu immediately took over the conversation, "Sister-in-law Lu, my name is Lin Jingyu. I just met Uncle Lu outside. No, I should call him Brother Lu."
I brought Brother Lu back.
"Hey, what happened?"
An Yalin has beautiful features, but her malnourished, sallow skin obscures her natural beauty.
She looked at Lu Qingyang with a worried expression, "Are you injured again?"
"I almost didn't make it back."
Lu Qingyang looked gloomy, and a hint of despair appeared on his face.
"It's happening again..."
An Yalin seemed to have guessed what had just happened.
Her face turned deathly pale instantly, and her eyes reddened and welled up with tears. "This...this is leaving our family with absolutely no way to survive..."
Her slightly trembling voice was filled with despair, and tears streamed down her face instantly.
The baby she was holding seemed to sense her parents' emotions and started crying again.
"Sister-in-law Lu, the child..."
Lin Jingyu took the child from her hands and saw a small face with a pair of bright, large eyes.
It looks a bit scary at first glance, but after looking at it for a while, you can't help but feel sorry for the child who is so hungry.
"Brother Lu, Sister-in-law Lu~"
Looking at the crying child, Lin Jingyu couldn't help but remind him, "The child must be hungry. Should we feed the child something first?"
"Food? What food do we have at home?"
These words were like the last straw that broke the camel's back. An Ya Lin covered her face and broke down in tears, "There's nothing at all, not even a bite to eat for the child."
"Waaaaah~"
Lu Qingyang squatted on the ground, also holding his head and sobbing uncontrollably.
Immediately, a series of heartbroken and desperate cries echoed, sounding extremely jarring.
Sigh~
Lin Jingyu sighed inwardly.
I got two bags of the most basic milk powder from the supermarket at the dock.
Pretend to take it out of your little basket.
"Sister-in-law Lu, do you have any baby bottles at home?"
"Sister-in-law Lu, please stop crying!"
Lin Jingyu nudged her shoulder. "Do you have any baby bottles at home?"
"Wh-what?"
An Ya Lin snapped out of her daze. "Little Lin, what did you say?"
"I asked if you have any baby bottles at home."
Lin Jingyu gestured with her chin to look at the table, "I happen to have two bags of milk powder, quickly mix them with warm water and give them to the child."
"You have baby formula."
An Yalin was both surprised and delighted. She rushed over and hugged the two bags of formula, bursting into tears of joy. "It's so great, so very great! We have formula now, waaaah..."
