Chapter 13 Henry



Next, she needs to figure out how to make money, but her small size is limiting the potential of her brain.

In the evening, the old lady made fried pancakes and millet porridge.

The fried dough sticks were golden brown, and the millet porridge was thick and creamy.

Wow, this is still a favorite at comic conventions.

Once, while on a business trip, I was stranded in the countryside. I ate some fried dough sticks once and I've never forgotten them!

Later, that kid secretly made these things in the kitchen, and she became his guinea pig. He made her eat all the burnt food and said righteously that wasting food was shameful. Should she be a shameful person?

Now, mmm~ the pancakes her grandma made smell so good!

Zhao Xiaoyue was enjoying the love from her grandmother, but Zhao Guozhong's eyes were wide open, Li Guilan's illness had improved by more than half!

Zhao Guozhong pointed to the mixed-race child staring intently at them and turned to ask Li Guilan, "Is this the child?"

Li Guilan didn't know what to say, her face full of complicated emotions.

Let's rewind to a few days ago.

One day after her treatment, she felt bored and asked Zhao Guozhong to take her out for a walk. When she saw a noodle shop, she thought about having a bowl of noodles, but she didn't eat any that night.

Halfway through their meal, a child stared at them pitifully, constantly swallowing his saliva.

The boss came over and tried to kick the child out. The boss said that the child had been abandoned when he was three years old, and he didn't know what his parents were thinking.

Three years old!

The child is of mixed race, but it's unclear how.

Someone even found a hospital note in the child's pocket, saying that the child had leukemia and therefore no one would adopt him, so he had been homeless ever since.

He never spoke, so the adults called him Little Mute.

One bowl of rice at this house, one piece of clothing at that house, and at night I sleep under the rocks on the street.

The doll was filthy, its face was so black it was unsightly.

Li Guilan didn't think much of it at the time and ordered a portion for her child as well.

Watching the child wolf down his meal, Zhao Guozhong and his wife were overwhelmed with pity.

The child would run away as soon as he finished eating, and the people on the street were used to it.

Zhao Guozhong didn't pay much attention, but after inquiring, he found out the child was quite pitiful.

I never expected to end up at the hospital myself.

It's not a problem of not being able to afford to raise children anymore; it's a problem that we simply can't get rid of.

As Zhao Guozhong rubbed his face, about to tell the child that they couldn't raise him, large tears rolled down the child's dirty face, and he began to sob.

Li Guilan panicked immediately and quickly got out of bed to wipe the child's tears. "Don't cry, don't cry. Your uncle and aunt have some candy for you."

Oh, poor thing!

No matter how you ask the child, they just cry and won't say a word; they're so well-behaved.

And so the child stayed.

Li Guilan's treatment lasted a long time, with intermittent procedures.

As Zhao Xiaoyue's eighth birthday approached, Li Guilan was discharged from the hospital and returned home.

The old lady and Zhao Xiaoyue were waiting at the station to pick up the person early in the morning.

The green train whizzed into the station, and Zhao Xiaoyue craned her neck several degrees before finally spotting Zhao Guozhong in the bustling crowd.

"Dad, over here! Dad, over here, over here!"

Zhao Guozhong also saw the grandfather and grandson waving!

When the two groups came together, Zhao Xiaoyue noticed that her mother was also holding the hand of a cute little boy with misty blue eyes, looking at her with an adorable expression. Was he a foreigner? Or from our country?

The old lady was also dumbfounded. If she hadn't known that the two of them had gone out to see a doctor, she would have thought they had gone to make a baby. How could they make such a big baby?

S~

The old lady narrowed her eyes instantly, her gaze piercing Zhao Guozhong like a knife. If he were an illegitimate child…

Zhao Guozhong felt the old lady's bones cracking, so he quickly explained what had happened.

Zhao Xiaoyue found it unbelievable. This mixed-race little boy is handsome, but his heart is as sieve as a sieve!

After all, Zhao Xiaoyue has lived an extra life; what hasn't she experienced at comic conventions? Sometimes, you should never underestimate children.

Abandoned at the age of three, how come she wasn't kidnapped by human traffickers? That's just not scientifically sound at all!

Zhao Guozhong was still explaining to the old lady when the child met Zhao Xiaoyue's scrutinizing gaze without flinching.

Zhao Xiaoyue stroked her chin, "Something's got something!"

Zhao Xiaoyue looked up at Li Guilan and said, "Mom, will this little brother live with us from now on?"

The old lady was also quite saddened at this point. The child was so young, and it was such a tragedy.

Zhao Guozhong looked at Li Guilan, who hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Yes."

Zhao Xiaoyue was overjoyed. "Great! I have a little brother!"

Li Guilan was worried that Zhao Xiaoyue wouldn't be able to accept it and would ask her to throw the child away again, but she just couldn't do it, so she decided to adopt the child instead!

Zhao Xiaoyue took the child's hand, and it was clear that the little boy was still very nervous!

Wow, that's impressive!

Zhao Xiaoyue said excitedly, "From now on, you're my little brother. Call me 'big sister' and let me hear it."

The little boy's eyes were deep and complex. Was what he did right?

After a moment, the child lowered his head, looking very sad.

Wow, Zhao Xiaoyue is intrigued. Is this the Bermuda Triangle or the Mariana Trench? Interesting!

Zhao Xiaoyue instantly switched to a hurt expression: "You don't want to?"

"He seems to have no idea how to talk!" Zhao's father said helplessly.

The old lady quickly said, "Let's go home, let's talk about it when we get home, we're still on the main road."

On the bus, the family sat in the front, while Zhao Xiaoyue, holding the little child's hand, sat in the back. Zhao Xiaoyue sat with her arms crossed like a big sister, her eyes leisurely and the corners of her mouth turned up.

The children have lost their innocence and cuteness; all that remains is indifference.

The back door of the car opened, and a few more people got on, blocking the people in front.

Zhao Xiaoyue glanced ahead and said, "Why aren't you pretending anymore? Tell me, stop with the tricks and stop with your cleverness. What works on others won't work on me!"
