Chapter Twenty-Five: Too Small and Weak



The bathroom design drawings eventually ended up in Han Yixian's hands, and Du Yuhan assumed they were in the hands of the construction workers and didn't pay much attention to them.

Han Yi looked at the unconventional design drawings and could see some professional aspects, especially the drawing techniques. Although they were deliberately hidden, it was still possible to discern some professional drafting methods.

Han Yixian was very puzzled. Who exactly was this little girl that his aunt had found, and why did she know so many things?

Although Du Yuhan kept it a secret from others, she didn't hide it from herself. She even had him pretend to be the designer of the design drawings. This was to tell herself that she was the designer, but she didn't want others to know.

Looking at the design drawings and recalling the fixtures in the bathroom he had just seen, Han Yixian realized that the bathroom was mainly built for him, and the facilities inside were all designed to make things easier for him.

With this bathroom, he can take care of his own toileting and showering from now on, which is indeed a happy thing.

Nowadays, single-story houses rarely have such bathrooms. Although apartment buildings may have them, it's inconvenient to live in them. Going out for a walk and getting some fresh air is a problem, so people are mostly confined to their homes.

Now that all the problems have been solved, it's clear that Du Yuhan put in a lot of effort.

Moreover, the young girl noticed his problem as soon as she arrived, which shows that she cares about him a lot and is very attentive.

It feels good to be cared for quietly.

Although Han Yixian didn't say a word all day and remained silent, he was very happy.

He accepted Du Yuhan's suggestion to treat his leg because he wanted to see if the young girl had any real skills. He had already gained some understanding from the time Du Yuhan took his pulse, which gave him some confidence in her.

Perhaps this little girl really was sent by heaven to save him.

Although he is an atheist, he sometimes has to believe in the arrangements of fate.

We ate quite a lot at lunch, so none of us were very hungry in the evening. Du Yuhan cooked a pot of cornmeal porridge, stir-fried some hot and sour shredded potatoes, cabbage and vermicelli, and steamed cornbread.

Yuan Qiliang stayed after having a delicious lunch, hoping to get another free dinner.

Although it was just cornmeal porridge and cornbread stir-fried with potatoes, it was still delicious. Yuan Qiliang ate with the most gusto.

He had eaten at his cousin's place before, and the food there was practically pig slop. This delicious meal was clearly made by the new young girl.

No wonder my younger brother insisted on coming, saying he wanted to freeload a meal; now I know why.

It seems he can come to his cousin's place for meals more often from now on.

Du Yuhan ate next to Han Yixian at the dinner table.

At first, Han Yixian didn't notice, but later he realized that Du Yuhan rarely picked up food, and her hands trembled a little when she did, making it difficult for her to hold the food steadily.

Han Yi frowned and looked at her before grabbing Du Yuhan's arm.

Du Yuhan cried out in pain when her arm was suddenly grabbed, and everyone else at the table looked over.

Han Yi grabbed Du Yuhan's arm and rolled up her sleeve, revealing her red and swollen forearm.

Upon seeing this, Liu Gang exclaimed in surprise, "Yuhan, why is your arm so swollen? Did you get it from hunting today?"

Du Yuhan nodded and replied, "I overestimated my strength. I didn't make that bow properly, and it took a lot of effort to draw it. My arm was a bit swollen from overexertion, but it's nothing to worry about, it'll be fine tomorrow."

Du Yuhan hadn't expected her body to be so weak. She had forgotten this when making the bow and arrow, and only realized how strenuous it was for her current physical condition when she tried to draw it. But it was still passable.

I was in a rush today, so I used the bow and arrow a lot and exerted too much force. Before I knew it, my arm swelled up, and now it's hard for me to hold things.

It seems her small frame is still too weak; she needs to exercise more in the future.

Yuan Qiliang then realized how difficult it must have been for them to catch so much prey. The little girl's arms were swollen and swollen, but she didn't complain once; she was truly resilient.

Han Yi first put down Du Yuhan's sleeve with a gloomy face, and used serving chopsticks to put a lot of food into Du Yuhan's bowl.

Yuan Qiliang looked at it again and again, wondering when his older cousin had become so caring.

Dinner was eaten in a rather subdued manner. Liu Gang rushed to wash the dishes and tidy up the kitchen so that Du Yuhan could rest.

As Yuan Qiliang was leaving, Du Yuhan took out the last wild rabbit and said, "Brother Yuan, this is the last wild rabbit we caught today. Please take it home and give it to Aunt Han. It's a small token of our appreciation."

Yuan Qiliang looked at the already cleaned rabbit in the basket and quickly refused, saying, "How can that be? You went through a lot of trouble to catch this. Keep it to supplement my older cousin's nutrition."

Du Yuhan, carrying the basket of rabbits, said, "We also kept a pheasant, which we'll use to supplement Brother Han's nutrition tomorrow. We can also hunt more game; it's not difficult. But please keep this a secret, Brother Yuan. I'm afraid it might cause unnecessary trouble if others find out."

Yuan Qiliang wanted to refuse, but Han Yi spoke first, "Yuhan told you to take it, so just take it back. Just be discreet and don't let anyone see it and get jealous or cause trouble."

The supply is getting increasingly tight, so please tell your aunt to be careful and keep things away from people as much as possible. As the saying goes, it's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark; don't give anyone an opportunity to take advantage.

Hearing his cousin's words, Yuan Qiliang didn't refuse anymore. "Then thank you, Yuhan. Cousin, I'll go back and tell my mom what you said. I'll head back now."

Yuan Qiliang rode his bicycle home, thinking that the caregiver his mother had found for his cousin was really good. Although he looked young, he was very generous and thoughtful in handling matters.

The lunch she prepared for the construction workers today shows that this young woman is very shrewd and generous.

The people who came to do the construction today are all helping out of respect for the Yuan family. If they are not treated well, the Yuan family will also lose face.

Du Yuhan made such a lavish lunch today, which can be considered a gesture of respect to the Yuan family.

Yuan Qiliang didn't ask them how they managed to catch so much game, but he knew it must be related to this little girl named Du Yuhan. Otherwise, why hadn't he ever seen his cousin's orderly catch game to supplement his cousin's nutrition before?

He could tell the girl didn't want to show off too much, so Yuan Qiliang wisely refrained from asking further questions about the prey. As long as she took good care of her cousin, that was enough.

He felt that his cousin's mood had improved significantly during the day. Although he was still silent, his expression was clearly different from before.

These are all changes that occurred after Du Yuhan came to live with us. This is a very good sign, indicating that the mother's efforts have not been in vain.

He also hoped his cousin would recover from his depression soon. With his cousin's intelligence, he believed he could achieve great things even in a wheelchair.

Yuan Qiliang happily rode his bicycle home.
