“Big Brother, your clothes are still wet. Are you cold?” Yan Yan imdiately positioned herself in between Xue Ling and her brother, refusing to give her an opportunity to approach him.
Xue Ling was shocked.
What’s wrong with Yan Yan today? She’s been going against !
Even if she doesn’t have any money left, she could have borrowed so from her brother just now, right? Why must she embarrass ?
There are so many seats around the fire. Why must she snatch my seat?
However, she could not do anything to Yan Yan. Everyone knew that Brother Yun doted on his younger sister and always protected her. She would not stand to gain if she made things difficult for Yan Yan.
She had no choice but to sit down on the other side.
Aunt Ju noticed that An Jiuyue was still standing aside and quickly said, “Jiuyue, you fell into the water just now. Co over here and sit down. Warm yourself up by the fire.”
The man turned around and looked at An Jiuyue.
An Jiuyue sighed again and walked over to sit by the fire.
She was just thinking about how more and more people were gathering under her house—and it had been such a noisy day! She could not stand it.
After all, she was soone who had been raising her two children peacefully until recently.
Wei Na read her mind and said, “Master, if you want to chase them away, do it! I also think these people are quite annoying.”
“Are you going to chase them away for ?” An Jiuyue retorted straightforwardly.
Wei Na fell silent. If it could co out, it would definitely drive out that disgusting woman to the ends of the earth and ensure that she would never find her way ho.
But since it could not leave the space, there was nothing it could do.
…
Soon, Rong’er returned downstairs carrying a bowl of ginger brown sugar tea carefully. He stood ready to watch his mother finish it.
An Jiuyue was silent. She was not a fan of this drink.
“Rong’er, can I not drink this if I promise you that I will never go into the water again?” she negotiated with her son.
“You must drink it.” Rong’er brought the bowl to his mother and persuaded softly, “Mother, you should just give in. You can pinch your nose and drink it quickly. I’ve already blown on the drink, so it’s not hot anymore.”
He recalled the words that his mother once used to convince him to drink his dicine.
An Jiuyue was extrely shocked.
“Give in”? What is he saying?
However, the words felt strangely familiar. She thought for a mont and realized that the Host used to say that to the two little ones when they refused their dicine when they were sick!
Now, it was her turn.
“Alright, I’ll drink it.”
She wiped her face helplessly, took the bowl from him, and gulped the drink down in one go.
“I’ve finished it. Are we good now?”
“Yes.”
Rong’er took the bowl back and ran to wash it. After he was done, he placed the bowl aside and ran over to look at the two children his mother had rescued.
“Mother, are these our younger sisters? There’s two of them!”
He grinned as he looked at the well-behaved babies who were being fed porridge.
An Jiuyue pursed her lips and coughed lightly. “Well…”
All she did was save the two children. She did not know which family they belonged to.
However, she had heard that the villagers would rescue many children whenever a flood occurred, and their parents never ca to claim them.
