Chapter 536: Working is to cultivate strength
"You really don't plan to give her medicine? What if she runs away?"
When Old Man Li returned to the main house, Aunt Li asked worriedly about the food that Old Man Li had just delivered, as there was no medicine in it. Aunt Li was very dissatisfied with this.
The money to buy the child was saved by her through hard work and tightening her belt.
"Grandma, don't give her medicine, she is very good." Goudan jumped beside her.
Old man Li glanced at his grandson. He was eight years old, but he still looked like a four or five-year-old child.
"If she takes the medicine and gets sick, and then gives birth to a bunch of idiots, would you be happy with that?"
Aunt Li was certainly not happy about this, but the risk was too great. "Aren't you afraid she'll run away?"
"Where could a child this young run to? She trusted me so much, saying there was food and drink here and she wanted to stay here until I could help her find her parents. She never thought of running away. Oh, and get a fan down there for her. The child needs some air, otherwise if she gets too hot and has problems, it'll cost money."
Aunt Li's face turned purple. Didn't she have to treat the little guy she bought back like an ancestor?
Looking at her grandson jumping around, Aunt Li swallowed her anger and went to find a fan.
"Thank you, grandma. You are so kind. It is my blessing to be brought back by you."
When Aunt Li brought the fan to the cellar, Xu Ling smiled and praised her.
Aunt Li was almost confused by the praise of this sweet little baby voice. She reached out to pinch Xu Lingwei's face and couldn't help but be surprised. This little face was so smooth.
Xu Lingwei held Aunt Li's hand, frowned, and said with a distressed tone: "Grandma, do you have to work every day, so your hands are like this? Grandma should put on some hand cream."
Aunt Li was completely overwhelmed by this. Hadn't she toiled like a slave in the Li family for decades? She was old, without a son to enjoy the good life around her, and her grandson was still young and needed her care. Her husband was a male chauvinist and didn't care about her at all. She had never expected that after all these years, the one who cared about her was this little girl who had only been here a few days.
"My family is poor, how can I afford to buy hand cream?"
"Just do less work. It's a pity that I'm sick now, otherwise I could help you with the work." Xu Lingwei said considerately, "Grandma, if you have any work, you can take it down and let me do it."
"Okay." Aunt Li really didn't expect this.
"Grandma, don't be polite. As long as grandpa can't find my parents, I will still have to live in your house. I will feel bad if I don't work." Xu Lingwei said.
After she went up, she smiled and said to Old Man Li, "This little girl is really kind. She held my hand and said I had worked hard, and asked me to give her any work I had. Goudan is older than her, but he doesn't know how to be so caring."
Old Man Li ignored Aunt Li's complaints and nodded with satisfaction: "So don't think about giving her medicine anymore. As long as we do a good job on the surface, she will believe us. You should also teach Goudan not to say those things in front of the children."
"I know, I know." Aunt Li responded with a smile.
That evening, she took a basket of snow peas downstairs and asked Xu Lingwei to help remove the silk. Xu Lingwei took it enthusiastically and obediently.
Working not only builds strength, but also undermines the vigilance of bad guys.
Since I'm going to be locked up here anyway and can't run here, I might as well increase my strength by working.
Mom and Dad, I must escape!
