Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming wanted to refuse the good intentions of the An Family, after all, the food was saved from their mouths.
If they ate it, An Family wouldn’t have anything to eat.
"Aunt An, there’s no need to fuss, we already have food in our car."
"What you bring is yours; what we give is ours, that’s different." An’an’s mother said as she went out to prepare things.
"The child’s mother is right, we haven’t prepared much, but you have to take this, or it’s like you look down on us."
Since Old An had spoken, Xiaoxiao and the others couldn’t refuse any longer, "Alright then."
They waited in the house for a while, and soon An’an’s mother ca in with a basket full of things.
"Our family doesn’t have much, but take these and eat on the road, please don’t mind."
Yang Ming took the heavy basket and said promptly, "We don’t mind, we don’t mind, thank you, Aunt An."
Yang Ming carried the basket and the child’s bag, while Xiaoxiao held the child. The family of three bid farewell to the An family.
At this mont, An’an stood quietly, without saying a word. Her small face was deeply furrowed as if making a significant decision. Finally, as Xiaoxiao and the others were about to step out, she spoke, "Sister, wait a mont."
Yang Ming and Xiaoxiao turned back, not knowing what the little sister wanted to say.
"An’an, what’s wrong?"
An’an took a couple of steps forward, ca up to Xiaoxiao, and spoke of the decision she’d been struggling with, "Sister, I want to go with you. Can you take along?"
An’an’s decision surprised everyone present. Old An quickly scolded her, "An’an, why follow them? You’re just a kid, why are you causing trouble?"
"Yes, little sister, why are you going with them?" An Quan also didn’t understand An’an’s decision.
Xiaoxiao also felt that in their current situation, it was hard to take another person with them, so she refused, "An’an, this journey is exhausting for sister, so we’ll not take you along."
Upon hearing Xiaoxiao’s refusal, the little girl imdiately panicked, "Sister, I don’t fear hardship. I can help you take care of the child and do work along the way."
Seeing his daughter insisting on going with them, Old An’s face looked displeased, "An’an, don’t be so unreasonable."
"Dad, I’m not being unreasonable. Sister and her family helped us a lot, and I want to help them too. Besides, aren’t they looking for the Divine Doctor Xue? Isn’t it perfect to take along? I can help identify which one is the Divine Doctor Xue."
When Xiaoxiao heard this, she realized, "That’s right, taking An’an along to help us identify the Divine Doctor would be better than searching blindly."
Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming exchanged a glance and decided to take An’an with them. So, Xiaoxiao said, "Uncle An, we indeed haven’t t the Divine Doctor Xue, and finding him must be troubleso. If we can have An’an help us identify him, it couldn’t be better. Let An’an co with us, and we’ll bring her back in a few days; is that okay?"
"Okay, okay, we’re just afraid An’an will trouble you. If An’an goes with you, we’re not worried. If An’an can help you and find Xue Zhiyi, then that’s great."
Old An agreed. He really didn’t know how to repay the kindness of the family of three. Now, if An’an could help, it would count as their family’s way to repay the debt of gratitude.
