"Oh dear, I probably won't have time to take care of you and your sister right now." "It's okay," Xiaotao replied sweetly.
Xiao Tao grew up under Xiao Pang's care, but before Xiao Pang found a formal job, he held multiple jobs and often didn't have time to take care of Xiao Tao. As a result, Xiao Tao developed an independent personality from a young age.
If the older sister is too busy to take care of her right now, then she can take care of herself and also take care of her younger sister.
Upon hearing Xiao Tao's reply, Qi Ran unceremoniously threw all the dirty clothes at her.
Xiao Tao said, "Wash these first, I have to go to work."
After saying that, she left Xiao Tao and Lu Pandi at home and went straight out and left.
The moment Qi Ran opened the door, Lu Yunzhi, who had been secretly observing the situation inside, quickly hid. Fortunately, Qi Ran was so engrossed in finding a free nanny and being able to rescue Lu Yuncheng that she didn't realize anything was wrong.
After Qi Ran left, Lu Yunzhi emerged from the darkness.
Lu Yunzhi didn't wait long before he saw a little girl carrying a large basin filled with clothes. She walked unsteadily.
He called out to the little girl, "Little sister, where are you going?"
Xiao Tao answered obediently, "My sister told me to wash the clothes."
"Sister?" Lu Yunzhi raised an eyebrow slightly. He had never heard of Qi Ran having a younger sister, and it was even more impossible for Lu Yuncheng himself to have one.
The little girl who suddenly appeared in Qi Ran's house is very likely related to the Little Fatty incident.
“I’m a relative of that lady. She’s very busy today, so she asked me to take care of you first. What’s your name?” Lu Yunzhi first dispelled the little girl’s concerns.
"Xiao Tao." Xiao Tao carried the basin outside the door and started washing clothes so that the house wouldn't get wet while she was washing them.
Lu Yunzhi then asked, "Do you know who Little Fatty is?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tao's eyes immediately lit up: "Of course I know, he's my absolute favorite older brother!"
Hearing Xiao Tao's answer, Lu Yunzhi made a rough guess about Xiao Pang's situation. It was nothing more than Qi Ran threatening Xiao Pang to take the blame in Xiao Tao's name.
Lu Yunzhi noticed that Xiao Tao's hands had turned bright red and stopped her, saying, "Don't wash them yet. Do you want to go find your brother?"
"Yes!" Xiao Tao smiled brightly. She really wanted to see her brother, but then she thought that he must be very busy right now, so she decided not to bother him for the time being.
Xiao Tao lowered her head: "My sister said that my brother has been busy with work lately. It's already very difficult for him to earn money to support me. I need to be sensible and learn to take care of myself."
Little Peach spoke in a soft, childlike voice, her sensible demeanor touching everyone's hearts.
Lu Yunzhi gently took Xiao Tao's hand, looked into her eyes and said, "It's okay, we'll just go see my brother for a moment, we won't disturb him."
After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Tao finally nodded and followed Lu Yunzhi to find Xiao Pang.
Alright.
Inside the police station, Little Fatty never imagined that after agreeing to Qi Ran's request, he would see his sister again.
"Xiao Tao?" Little Fatty had barely uttered his sister's name when his eyes filled with tears once again.
water.
He doesn't care about hardship or fatigue, as long as his younger sister can grow up healthy.
As they entered the police station together, Lu Yunzhi, who was standing to the side, suddenly spoke up: "Stop catching up, Xiao Tao, why don't you tell your brother how your life at your sister's house is?"
Little Fatty also became interested and quickly asked Little Peach, "Yes, tell me about it quickly."
In Xiaopang's imagination, when Qi Ran took her home, she would sleep in a soft, fragrant bed, wake up to delicious meals with a good mix of meat and vegetables, wear pretty little dresses, and have her favorite dolls.
Unfortunately, what Xiaotao said next shattered Xiaopang's imagination.
"My sister said she's not home much usually, so she asked me to help with the housework." Xiao Tao's voice sounded calm, but her words stirred up a storm in Xiao Pang's heart.
"She just told you that directly?" At that moment, Little Fatty seemed to realize something was wrong with Qi Ran. How could she say something like that to Xiao Tao so directly?
Xiao Tao sensed the anger in her brother's tone. Thinking she had said something wrong, she lowered her head and quietly replied, "Mm."
"Why don't you take a look at your sister's hands?" Lu Yunzhi reminded the chubby boy from the side.
Little Fatty immediately grabbed Little Peach's hand and looked at it; both hands had turned bright red. His grip on Little Peach's hand trembled slightly: "This...this is?"
Seeing that Xiao Tao was unwilling to tell the truth and make Xiao Pang worry, Lu Yunzhi simply said it for her: "Qi Ran threw all the dirty clothes in the house to her to wash."
After hearing this, Little Fatty was so angry he was almost trembling: "How could she do this?!"
He was furious. Qi Ran had promised to take good care of his sister, but as soon as his sister got home, she dragged him to do laundry!
Xiao Tao noticed Xiao Pang's anger and patted him on the shoulder with her little hand: "Brother, don't worry. Sister said she's too busy with work, so she asked me to help. Just like when you were busy before, I could help take care of the house!"
"I'm not a little kid anymore!" Xiao Tao emphasized to Xiao Pang.
Before Xiaotao said anything, things were fine, but after she did, Xiaopang got even angrier. What does "too busy with work" even mean?
He'd heard the deputy factory manager mention before that they'd just moved to the city, and Qi Ran hadn't found a suitable shop to open yet. She didn't have a job and was idle at home every day. She said that just to be lazy and dump all the work on her younger sister!
