Sweetie took a chocolate bar from the expert and happily ate it, a sly glint in her eyes.
Her brother has the softest heart; every time she begs, he will grant her request.
"I love my brother the most!"
Sweetie stood on tiptoe and kissed the tall man on the face.
The tall man smiled, his eyes crinkling, and picked up his little sister. The little girl wasn't too short, but she looked like a doll next to the tall, slender man. She leaned obediently on his shoulder, happily munching on chocolate.
"Sweetie, shall we go to Pingjiang City?"
"Shall we go find Mommy?" Sweetie asked happily.
She hadn't seen her mother for many years and couldn't even remember what her mother looked like!
The expert's expression turned slightly cold, but quickly warmed up again. "We don't have a mother. Sweetie only has her brother and father."
That woman doesn't deserve to be their mother!
Sweetie nodded obediently, "Mmm... Sweetie only wants her brother."
My brother really dislikes her mentioning Mom, so she won't mention it again!
Sweetie likes her brother more than her mother, and she doesn't want to upset him!
"Pingjiang has many good doctors who can definitely cure Tiantian, and she can go to school in the future!" The expert's voice was very gentle.
Sweetie's eyes lit up, then dimmed again. "But has brother earned enough money?"
Her illness costs a lot of money, and all the money her brother worked so hard to earn has been spent by her!
"That's enough. We'll say goodbye to Dad later, and we'll leave tomorrow!"
Sweetie nodded vigorously, her huge head making people worry whether her slender neck could support it.
"Brother, did the fox spirit give you the money?" Sweetie asked curiously.
That vixen sister used to give my brother a lot of money every time she came!
"Yes, she's a vixen, not your older sister." The expert patiently corrected him. How could a woman like Ye Susu be worthy of being Tian Tian's older sister!
Are all vixens rich?
Sweetie is very curious. She and her brother have relied on each other since she was a child and have no playmates. Her social circle consists only of her brother. Whenever she sees a new person or thing, she will ask questions until she gets to the bottom of it.
The expert, unsure how to respond, simply gave a perfunctory reply.
This made Tiantian even more certain that all vixens are very rich!
The two siblings didn't have much stuff, and the expert quickly packed a simple bag containing his and Tian Tian's clothes.
The other backpack contained his tools and medicines, but this bag contained his most important things.
The wise man first took his younger sister to the back mountain. Carrying Sweetie on his back, he found a simple tombstone with the inscription—
Tomb of late father Zhu Fan
Unfilial son Zhu Zi, unfilial daughter Zhu Tianli
The expert (Zhu Zi) pulled up the weeds around the grave, placed simple offerings, and kowtowed three times with Tian Tian.
"Father, I'm taking Tiantian to Pingjiang for treatment. Please rest assured, I will definitely cure Tiantian!"
Zhu Zi looked solemn and made a vow before his deceased father's grave.
After offering incense and burning paper money, Zhu Zi carried Tian Tian down the mountain. The desolate earthen slope looked particularly gloomy even under the bright sun.
If you look closely, you'll find that the tombstones on the earthen slope are all quite old, except for Zhu Fan's tombstone, which is only half new.
The next day, just as the sun rose, Zhu Zi, carrying Tian Tian on her back and two bags in her hands, walked out of the room.
The brother and sister had no attachment to the house they had lived in for over ten years.
For the siblings, home is wherever the other is.
Even if it's just a small hill or a small thatched hut!
