Cheng Jin naturally understood Jian Dan's thoughts. She had a lot of good things and was willing to spend them, so she must want to give the child extra food. However, she was also an orphan whose parents were gone. He, as her uncle, could not help her, nor could he hold the child back.
"Dandan, your uncle knows what you're thinking. He knows you feel sorry for them and want to help your uncle share the burden."
But Dandan, they are your younger brothers, and you are just your older sister. They are not your responsibility, and you shouldn't put all the burden on yourself. This is something your uncle should worry about.
You, little girl, should be happy, you know?
"I know, but you also know that what I say is the most appropriate."
They were just unofficial employees, and they used your meal tickets to eat, right?
I'm not saying you guys are bad, but tell me yourself, how is your patient food?
Even if Chef Zhang is skilled and can cook for you privately, it's still only every few days. Can you cook for you two or three times a day?
Even if you have that thing, everyone knows you paid for it yourself. With so many people watching, and other patients in your hospital, plus you being a leader, this isn't really appropriate, is it?
Besides, Xiao An is recovering from his injury, and Xiao Rui isn't training, so they're doing fine, aren't they? Can they really sit quietly in the dorm for ten days or half a month?
Why don't you come stay with me and keep me company?
We can cook whatever we want to eat then, isn't that more freedom than staying here? Don't you think so?
How could Cheng Jin not know?
Knowing this only made him feel more uneasy. Ever since they recognized each other as relatives, it seemed like they had been taking advantage of the little girl all along—wild boar, medicine, food, supplies, and all sorts of good things from the mountain. If he really wanted to count them all, he couldn't possibly count them all.
Seeing his hesitation, I simply and directly said,
"Why don't you ask them? If they don't want to go, then let them stay. If they do want to go, then don't stop them, okay?"
Cheng Jin...
"What else? Do you think I don't know? They've been longing for the past. If you asked them for their opinion, they'd be ecstatic."
That's true, I'm confident I can handle this simple task.
"Don't worry, Uncle. Once the wound heals in a few days, it won't be a big problem. I'll be careful then and make sure he doesn't move around too much. I don't know how to do anything else, but I can keep an eye on this."
Besides, there's Xiao Rui too. Aren't you comfortable with the rest of us together?"
How dare you say such a thing? What makes me feel at ease about you two being together?
"Let me tell you, with your cooking skills—the meat, the oil—it's a good thing your yard is far from the village; otherwise, the villagers would be cursing you every day."
