"Well, that daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, my son is also injured, so I came to ask them for some medicine. Since you know about herbs, why don't you go up the mountain to pick some, then the problem will be solved, right?" Mrs. Li's eyes turned and she immediately put on a smile.
Shen Qingli: How come some people don’t want such a good thing as a face!
She didn't just want some medicine, she wanted to rob, to take all of it.
Niuniu held the medicine in her arms, sobbing, "No, no, no."
Gou Wa also climbed up from the bed with difficulty, "Get lost, you are not our grandmother, we have separated a long time ago, your family's affairs have nothing to do with us."
"Even if your son dies, we will not give it to you."
"You are the one who will die!" When Mrs. Li heard Gou Wa talking about her son, she immediately cursed.
"I picked the herbs and I only give them to Gou Wa. Mrs. Li, you should go home and change your pants. It's embarrassing." Shen Qingli said calmly. She stood there, looking beautiful and neatly dressed. When she spoke, she had a nonchalant aura, and a sense of nobility that was out of tune with her surroundings.
Mrs. Li felt a little ashamed, which was rare for her.
"You, don't be so complacent, you little bastards. Can she protect you all your life? Just wait and see, you will regret it sooner or later." Mrs. Li said something cruel, turned around and ran away.
Shen Qingli sighed twice. This family is so difficult.
"You must be hungry. Eat something."
Niu Niu sniffed. She hadn't eaten anything hot for a long time, let alone noodles!
She had never eaten it when she was at home, but she saw her second uncle eating it.
"Sister, sister, is this really for us?"
"Well, this is for you. Take your time to eat. If it's not enough, I have more at home." Shen Qingli said softly. Looking at the poor Niu Niu, she raised her hand to help Niu Niu tidy up her hair.
The dog boy on the bed pushed himself up onto the ground and knelt in front of Shen Qingli.
"Gou Wa, what are you doing?" Shen Qingli hurried forward.
"Sister, I can work now. Now that my legs are healed, I can go to the fields to earn work points. My parents left some things for us. I give all my work points and things to you. Can you raise my sister, give her food, and let her live?" Gou Wa insisted on kneeling and began to kowtow to Shen Qingli.
Shen Qingli dodged to the side and used some strength to pull Gou Wa up.
"I know I'm forcing her, but if I don't do this, Niu Niu won't be able to survive. Those people in the old house have been staring at us." Gou Wa said with a sob.
"Why choose me?" Shen Qingli paused and asked.
"You are kind, you are really kind, unlike other people." Gou Wa said firmly, "You saved me and gave me things without asking for anything in return."
"The people in the old house have always known that my parents left something behind, but they couldn't find it, so they separated us and didn't give us food or drink. They wanted to wait until we had nowhere else to go and touched my parents' things, and then they would take them away."
Gou Wa wiped his face.
"I'm the older brother, so it doesn't matter if I die, but what my parents were most worried about before they died was my younger sister. Don't worry, sister. The things I gave you are enough to raise my younger sister, and there will be a lot left over."
"I won't let you suffer any loss."
Gou Wa's eyes were firm and sincere.
"Wuwu, no no, Niu Niu won't leave brother, Niu Niu wants to be with brother forever, brother, please don't leave Niu Niu." Niu Niu cried heartbrokenly.
Although she is young, she can understand what Gou Wa says.
Her brother let her and her sister live a good life, but she worked hard and risked her life.
How can that be possible?
Although she likes her sister very much, she absolutely cannot be separated from her brother.
Gou Wa held Niu Niu in his arms, and the two little ones cried very sadly.
Shen Qingli frowned slightly, once again lamenting the cruelty of fate.
The things in Gou Wa's hands were valuable and could support the two of them, but they were coveted by others, so he was hungry and miserable and did not dare to use them because he was too weak and even Mrs. Li could easily control them.
An innocent man is guilty of possessing a jade.
After a while, Shen Qingli sighed, "You two should eat first. I can't decide to adopt you alone. I need to discuss it with Yu Bai."
"Thank you, sister." Gou Wa bowed to Shen Qingli. He knew that he couldn't continue to force her. If he continued, he would be ungrateful.
The two children haven't had a full meal for a long time, but when they eat, it can still be seen that they have been well-educated.
Gou Wa's parents educated both of their children well.
What a pity.
Shen Qingli had no memory of Gou Wa's parents.
She had been in Kaoshantun for only two years and seldom went out, so everything she knew was what her mother told her when she came back.
After the two children had finished their meal, Shen Qingli packed up her own bowl and prepared to go home. When she reached the door, she felt a little worried about them. What if the Li family came again?
Leave Xiao Hei behind?
If there are too many people, Xiao Hei will easily suffer losses.
Shen Qingli hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to take the two children home first.
It's time to get off work.
When Zhou Yubai returned home and didn't see Shen Qingli, he guessed that she was at Gou Wa's house and went to look for her.
"Yu Bai, let the two children stay at our house tonight." Shen Qingli said tentatively.
"Okay." Zhou Yubai agreed immediately.
No matter what Shen Qingli said, he agreed readily.
Shen Qingli curled her lips, "Niuniu, pack up your and your brother's things."
Gou Wa's eyes sparkled, "Thank you, sister. Niuniu can go."
"If you're allowed to go, then go with us. We can discuss other matters later." Shen Qingli said firmly.
Gou Wa didn't dare to say anything else, for fear that he would anger Shen Qingli and then she would not adopt Niu Niu.
Niu Niu quickly packed up her and her brother's things.
Zhou Yubai held the small bag in one hand and picked up Gou Wa with the other.
Gou Wa's face turned red. He was already a big boy and he couldn't remember how many years it had been since he had been hugged by someone.
Small courtyard.
Shen Qingli tidied up the empty room and made the bed.
Zhou Yubai put Gou Wa on the bed, and Niu Niu stood beside the bed a little awkwardly. They had never lived in such a good house before. Even before they were separated, their family lived in a shabby thatched house.
"Yubai, I made dumpling soup. You go and eat first. After you finish eating, boil a pot of water and wash them." Shen Qingli said, looking at the two dirty children.
"Okay." Zhou Yubai responded and went to the kitchen.
He boiled water before he started to eat. By the time he was done eating, the water was also boiled.
"Do I want to take a shower? Can I take a shower? I've never taken a shower before." Niu Niu said in a low voice, and her voice became lower and lower as she spoke.
Gou Wa also lowered his head. They were too dirty. His sister was so clean that she must be disgusted with them.
"Of course you can, Niuniu, come, sister will take you there." Shen Qingli held Niuniu's little hand and went to the kitchen to give her a bath.
Zhou Yubai brought a large basin into the house and helped Gou Wa wash.
Gou Wa's face turned red enough to look like blood. He was a grown boy, and he always felt... very embarrassed when someone else gave him a bath.
"I asked Qingli, and she said you should pay attention to the location of the wound. She will reapply medicine after it's washed, so don't worry." Zhou Yubai said, with no emotion in his voice.
But it made Gou Wa feel warm inside.
