Wang Xin patted his thin shoulders and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, eat as much as you can and try to gain some weight soon. As long as you don't hurt anyone at home, you can stay! From now on, you can accompany Hao Ge'er and help Aunt Li do things within your ability in your spare time."

The little guy instinctively shrank back.

The cold and pale little face still looked a little confused: Are you really not chasing me away?

Wang Xin was amused by his reaction.

He pulled him over, lifted up his large robe and took a look. His eyes narrowed and he gasped. He said, "Go boil some water first. Call me when it's done. I'll clean the area other than the wound and apply some medicine on you. Otherwise, it might get infected."

The little guy finally reacted and would not be driven away!

As if afraid that Wang Xin would change his mind, he turned around and ran away quickly.

Sure enough, my intuition was right!

After wandering for so long, I finally have a home again!

Happiness doesn't come easily, so cherish it!

Let him digest it alone for a while...

Wang Xin turned to Mrs. Li again.

She knew that some things should be said early.

On her round baby face, there was a hint of severity that was not usually noticeable: "Aunt Li, you have also seen the situation in my family!"

As he spoke, he turned around and picked up Xiao Ge'er, who was almost asleep in Hao Ge'er's arms.

Then he continued, "Your monthly salary will be one tael of silver first. If you do well, we will increase it. If you don't do well, you will not be able to stay in our house."

Mrs. Li has been in a daze ever since her son drowned. She felt like the sky had fallen and she didn't care about being sold.

It was not until she saw in the dental clinic that Haoge'er holding the little girl's sleeve with his little hand and looking at her with his little head tilted up that his expression looked exactly like his former son.

Her dead old mother's heart gradually came back to life.

I just want her to stay where Hao Ge'er is and see him every day. I'll be satisfied. How can I ask for more?

Hearing this, he knelt down hurriedly and was about to kowtow and refuse: "I only want food and clothing, I don't want any wages!"

Wang Xin was shocked at first when she saw Mrs. Li kneeling down!

Then I was called "old slave" and goose bumps appeared all over my body. I felt very uncomfortable.

He quickly dodged.

Doesn’t this shorten your life?

She really couldn't get used to the ancient people's habit of kneeling at every turn.

Wang Xin still has modern ideas in his heart, and the concept of equality for all is engraved in his bones.

Although I have decided to follow the local customs, some of these customs are really not easy to follow.

If she were asked to kneel down to someone, she would vomit to death.

At this moment, she was absolutely certain: when they were still young, moving to a remote mountain village, temporarily avoiding the hustle and bustle of the city, and growing up quietly and making money was an extremely correct decision.

But at home, you can still do what you like.

Wang Xin pulled Mrs. Li up forcefully: "Aunt Li, get up! If you want to stay at home, don't kneel down easily! And don't call yourself 'old slave', my family doesn't care about that."

Mrs. Li stood up with the force, her sallow face full of confusion.

Wang Xin said: "As long as you focus on your family, do the work assigned to you well, keep the house clean and tidy inside and out, and don't talk too much, you will get every penny you deserve!"

After a pause, he continued in a gentle voice, "When you are alive, you always have things you want and things you want to do. Even if you are poor, earning money to help orphans is also a kind of sustenance. You have earned money through labor, and you have no grudge against money, so why don't you take it?"

Mrs. Li had lived to such an old age and understood that the girl was doing this for her own good, so she agreed with tears in her eyes.

Afterwards, Wang Xin arranged for her to milk and boil the milk. From then on, the preparation of three meals a day and the task of taking care of the cows were also given to her.

Then there's the matter of entertaining guests at home tomorrow.

Wang Xin took out about one or two taels of silver from his purse and handed it to her, telling her to buy some more fresh vegetables early the next morning, and also buy four or five pounds of mutton to slice for later use.

After explaining all this, he waved his hand and asked Mrs. Li to go and get busy.

Hao Ge'er had been waiting there eagerly, and couldn't wait to enter the space!

He is still in the novelty stage of space, just like a child who has found a fun toy.

What's more, this toy is so magical!

Wang Xin asked him to wait a little longer.

After all, there are two more people in the family, and if they want to move into the space, they have to arrange everything.

After pondering for a moment, he asked Hao Ge'er to find two smaller clothes that he used to wear for Xue Cuo.

He slipped into the space, took out sterile gauze, iodine and a small amount of Panax notoginseng powder, intending to give them to the little guy.

After doing all this, I heard the sound of footsteps outside the door.

Wang Xin opened the door and saw Xue Cuo staggering in with a large basin of water.

Wang Xin hurried forward to take it and blamed him, "If you can't lift it, call for help. What if it falls?"

The little guy whispered: "I'm strong, I won't fall!"

Wang Xin looked at his arms that were as thin as a bamboo pole, shook his head, and asked the little guy to take off his robe.

He hesitated for a moment, then did as he was told.

The little guy looked miserable after taking off his clothes: his body was skinny, with thin skin tightly attached to his bones. Every protruding rib and spine could be clearly seen, which perfectly explained what "skin and bones" meant! His skin was pale and cracked, with scars and whip marks of both new and old.

Obviously he had been abused many times!

I don't know how this little body managed to survive?

Wang Xin carefully avoided the whip marks and wiped the skin other than the wound with gauze.

Then he skillfully disinfected the new wound with iodine and sprinkled it with Panax notoginseng powder.

At this time, Hao Ge'er had already brought the clothes.

He stared at the scars on Xuecuo's body in amazement, so shocked that he couldn't speak!

Wang Xin asked the little guy to change into the clothes that Hao Ge'er brought. Although they still didn't fit well, at least they were not so exaggerated.

At this time, Mrs. Li also came in with two large bowls of steaming milk.

When she told him that there was still half a pot of soup left in the kitchen, she sent Mrs. Li and the little guy to drink it.

Both of them look malnourished and really need some nourishment.

After the two left, Wang Xin held Xiao Ge'er and sent her and Hao Ge'er into the space.

Fill the bottle with fresh milk and add two drops of vinegar to remove the fishy smell.

The remaining two shared the drink.

Sure enough, fresh, pollution-free, and additive-free pure cow's milk has a much stronger flavor.

Hao Ge'er turned on the TV as if he was familiar with it, clicked on the "Haier Brothers" series, and watched it with relish.

Yes, in order to increase Haoge's knowledge, Wang Xin specially recommended this cartoon and allowed him to watch two episodes every day.

Wang Xin left the space by himself and went to find the two new members of the family with an empty bowl.

We also have to arrange a place for them to live!

Wang Xin expressed his annoyance.

I have so many secrets that it is impossible to place them in a close location.

When Wang Xin arrived, the two had already finished their milk.

Mrs. Li was washing Xuecuo's messy long hair.

Wang Xin nodded secretly, and showed more approval of Mrs. Li.

After she asked Mrs. Li to clean up, she and Xue Cuo went to the front clinic to rest.

There happened to be two beds there, separated by a curtain, which my father used to give acupuncture to patients.

Wang Xin admitted that although he felt sympathy for Xue Cuo, he could not treat him the same way he treated Hao Ge'er.

Human hearts are indeed biased.
