Chapter 20

“Um, that Zhou family daughter-in-law, 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 could someone not want such a good thing as face!

She didn’t just want some medicine, she wanted to rob, rob all of it.

Niu Niu held the medicine and sobbed, “No, no.”

Gou Wa also climbed up from the bed with difficulty, “Get out, you are not our grandmother, we separated a long time ago, and your family affairs have nothing to do with us.”

“Even if your son dies, we won’t give it to you.”

“You’re the one who’s dead!” When Mrs. Li heard Gou Wa talking about his son, she immediately choked and cursed.

“I picked the herbs, and I only gave them to Gou Wa. Mrs. Li, you should go home and change your pants. It’s not shameful.” Shen Qingli said in a light voice. She stood there, beautiful and neatly dressed. When she spoke, she was calm and indifferent, with a sense of nobility that was out of tune with the surroundings.

Mrs. Li rarely felt a little ashamed.

“You don’t be complacent, you little bastards, can she protect you for the rest of your life! Just wait and see, sooner or later you will regret it.” Mrs. Li left a cruel word and turned and ran away.

Shen Qingli sighed twice. This family is too difficult.

“You must be hungry. Eat something.”

Niuniu 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 eat it.

“Sister, sister, is this really for us?”

“Yes, it’s for you, take your time to eat, if it’s not enough, I have more at home.” Shen Qingli said softly, looking at the pitiful Niu Niu, she raised her hand to help Niu Niu tidy up her hair.

Gou Wa on the bed supported himself to get off the bed and knelt down in front of Shen Qingli.

“Gou Wa, what are you doing?” Shen Qingli hurried forward.

“Sister, I can work now. When my legs are healed, I can go to the fields to earn work points. My parents left us some things, and all my work points and things are given to you. Can you support my sister and let her live?” Gou Wa insisted on kneeling and began to kowtow to Shen Qingli.

Shen Qingli dodged sideways 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 watching us.” Gou Wa said with a sob.

“Why did you choose me?” Shen Qingli paused and asked.

“You are kind, you are really kind, unlike others.” Gou Wa said firmly, “You saved me and gave me things without asking for anything.”

“The people in the old house have always known that my parents left something, but they couldn’t find it, so they separated us and didn’t give us food and drink. They had to wait until we were desperate to touch my parents’ things, and then they would take them away.”

Gou Wa wiped his face.

“I’m a brother, it doesn’t matter if I die, but my parents are most worried about my sister before they die. Don’t worry, sister, the things I give you are enough to raise our sister, and there will be a lot left.”

“I won’t let you suffer.”

Gou Wa’s eyes were firm and sincere.

“Wow, no, no, Niu Niu won’t leave brother, Niu Niu will stay with brother forever, brother, please don’t leave Niu Niu.” Niu Niu cried heartbrokenly.

Although she was small, she understood what Gou Wa said.

Her brother asked her to live a good life with her sister, and she worked hard and risked her life.

How could that be possible?

Although she liked her sister very much, she absolutely could not be separated from her brother.

Gou Wa hugged Niu Niu, and the two little ones cried very sadly.

Shen Qingli frowned slightly, and once again lamented the cruelty of fate.

The things in Gou Wa’s hands were valuable and could feed the two of them, but they were coveted by others. He was hungry and suffered and dared not use them, because he was too weak, and even Mrs. Li could easily control them.

A man is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure.

After a while, Shen Qingli sighed, “You two eat first. The matter of adopting you is not something I can decide on my own. 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 very good family education.

Gou Wa’s parents have educated both children well.

What a pity.

Shen Qingli has no memory of Gou Wa’s parents.

She has only been in Kaoshantun for two years and rarely goes out. All she knows is what her mother tells her when she comes back.

After the two children had eaten, Shen Qingli packed up her own bowl and prepared to go home. When she reached the door, she was 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 also be at a disadvantage.

Shen Qingli hesitated for a while and finally decided to take the two children home first.

It was time to get off work.

Zhou Yubai didn’t see Shen Qingli when he got home, guessed that she was at Gou Wa’s house, and came to find her.

“Yubai, 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 happily.

Shen Qingli curved the corners of her lips, “Niuniu, pack up your and your brother’s things.”

Gou Wa’s eyes sparkled, “Thank you, sister. Niuniu can go.”

“If I ask you to go, then go with me. We can discuss other things later.” Shen Qingli said firmly.

Gou Wa didn’t dare to speak anymore, fearing 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 torn bag in one hand and picked up Gou Wa with the other.

Gou Wa’s face was red. He was already a big boy and couldn’t remember how many years it had been since he had been held 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 by the bed a little stiffly. They had never lived in such a good house. Even before they were separated, their family lived in a broken thatched house.

“Yubai, I made dumpling soup. You go eat first. After you finish eating, boil a pot of water and wash them.” Shen Qingli looked at the two dirty children and spoke.

“Okay.” Zhou Yubai responded and went to the kitchen.

He boiled water first before starting to eat. When he was full, the water was also roasted.

“Do I want to take a bath? Can I take a bath? I have never taken a bath before.” Niu Niu whispered, and her voice became lower and lower as she spoke.

Gou Wa also lowered his head. They were too dirty. Their sister must be disgusted with them since she was so clean.

“Of course, Niu Niu. Come, sister will take you.” Shen Qingli took Niu Niu’s little hand and went to the kitchen to give her a bath.

Zhou Yubai brought a big basin into the house to help Gou Wa wash.

Gou Wa’s face was so red that blood could drip out. He was a big boy, and he always felt… ashamed to be bathed by others.

“I asked Qingli, and she said to pay attention to the location of your wound. After washing, she will reapply medicine. Don’t worry.” Zhou Yubai said, and there was no emotion in his voice.

But it made Gou Wa feel warm in his heart.
