Gou Dan wiped the sweat from his forehead, smiled shyly upon hearing this, and shook his head.
"No, I've been taking care of my dad these days! I haven't had time to look for a job yet."
Zhiyin smiled knowingly, then asked with a mixture of doubt and casualness, like an old friend, "Has your father's leg been set?"
She knew that Gou Dan's father's leg had been broken, but she didn't know if the medical technology of this era could set the bone.
Dog Egg's smile faded, and he shook his head in disappointment, a bitter smile appearing on his lips. "No, the doctor said I missed the best treatment period, and I'll be bedridden from now on."
"It's a pity that my father, such a bright and cheerful person, is now depressed and bedridden, unable to go anywhere."
As he spoke, his voice suddenly choked up.
Suddenly, he remembered that his father, feeling that he was a useless person and not wanting to be a burden to him, almost committed suicide by cutting his wrists.
If he hadn't discovered and stopped it in time, it would have caused irreversible consequences, and he might have lost even his last remaining relative.
"Oh, I see. Don't be sad..."
Seeing that he was too heartbroken, Zhiyin patted him on the shoulder to comfort him, and after thinking for a moment, asked, "Do you have any money on you?"
"If I had the chance, I might be able to get your father back into the sunlight and out of the house."
Upon hearing this, Gou Dan's tears stopped abruptly, and his eyes immediately shone with unprecedented joy.
He excitedly grabbed Zhiyin's sleeve, as if grasping at a last straw, his eyes filled with hope, "Really?"
He thought for a moment, then nodded eagerly like a chick pecking at rice, "Yes, yes, there should be two ounces left!"
His family was originally poor, but ever since Magistrate Jun confiscated the property of the culprit who caused his father to become like this, they have had money.
It was originally three ounces, but these days, because of buying and preparing medicine for his father, it's only two ounces left.
"Two ounces... might not be enough."
Zhiyin recalled that her food cart had used up a tael and a half last time, and the wheelchair might be even more expensive.
However, a simplified version might be possible, and it could be made entirely of wood, requiring only a little iron and wheels.
"It's okay, as long as I can help my dad stop being so depressed and be able to walk normally again, I'm willing to pay any price!"
Dog Egg was overjoyed and quickly gave a firm guarantee with his eyes.
His voice was urgent, and his eyes were pleading as he looked at Zhiyin, "Please, Miss, tell me what it is?"
He gritted his teeth and said decisively and firmly, "If it can really get my father to leave the house again, I'm willing to pay any price."
"Don't worry, it's nothing serious. I'll draw it for you after I sell all the potato chips."
Seeing that Gou Dan was so excited that tears were about to fall, as if he were willing to go through fire and water for her, Zhiyin was moved by his filial piety but also felt a little sad.
"Yes, yes, thank you very much, Miss."
Upon hearing this, Gou Dan worked even harder, feeling as if he were in a dream.
He felt that his soulmate was like his second parents, his lucky charm.
It seems like good things always happen whenever I run into her.
The first time, she not only forgave him, but also bought him steamed buns.
On their second meeting, he successfully had the man who caused his mother's tragic death and his father's crippling executed by being torn apart by five horses, and he also received compensation.
This was their third meeting, but she surprised him again and gave his family hope.
He glanced at Zhiyin's ever-present bright smile and kind voice, and silently made a decision in his heart!
"Don't call me Miss, my name is Zhiyin, and my sister is Zhihua."
"By the way, how old are you this year?"
Zhiyin was multitasking, collecting money while chatting with Gou Dan.
“I’m six years old this year, so I’ll call you Sister Zhiyin and Sister Zhihua.”
"Dog Egg called out sweetly, his hands unconsciously clenching together, feeling a sense of unreality for some reason."
After speaking, she glanced cautiously at her two confidants, afraid that they would think she was deliberately trying to get closer to them and claim kinship, which would displease them.
Zhiyin was taken aback for a moment, knowing that the child was young, but she did not expect that he was only six years old!
This is way too small!
Seeing how quickly he worked, Zhiyin suddenly had a strange feeling that he was enslaving child laborers.
"Okay...anything is fine."
Zhiyin found it amusing to see Gou Dan's embarrassed expression.
Zhihua smiled kindly at Gou Dan.
Seeing that the two were very friendly and showed no displeasure, Gou Dan finally relaxed.
Soon, thanks to the three of them, the potato chips sold out.
Seeing Gou Dan's eager and impatient eyes, Zhiyin just smiled and took out paper and pen to start writing and drawing.
Gou Dan and Zhi Hua exchanged a glance, both holding their breath and not making a sound, not daring to disturb their friend.
"alright…"
Zhiyin drew very quickly, completing the simplified structural diagram of the wheelchair in about 5 minutes.
Looking at the lifelike picture of the wheelchair and the description of the functions of the various parts around it, Zhiyin smiled with satisfaction.
"Here, take this to a carpenter and have him make it according to the picture."
"Then your dad will be able to sit in a wheelchair, and you can push him around whenever you want to go out for a walk."
"Oh, right, he can also push the wheelchair himself."
After Zhiyin finished speaking, she handed the things in her hand to Gou Dan.
Dog Egg's eyes instantly welled up with tears, as if he had received a rare treasure, and he carefully took it with both hands.
