Xie Jing was quick to speak and was the first to speak: "When we went to look for them, they were being bullied by those half-grown kids. Big brother was worried that they would have trouble in the future, so he brought them back."

Jiang Wan nodded, turned around and asked, "Xie Lan, are you planning to take them home?"

She hit the nail on the head and saw through Xie Lan's thoughts at once.

If Xie Lan didn't have this idea, he wouldn't have brought the two little beggars here, but would have given them some silver and let them go to other towns to beg.

Xie Lan's eyes deepened, and the look he gave Jiang Wan became more gentle.

He answered irrelevantly, "Do you mind?"

"I?"

Jiang Wan was stunned.

She didn't expect Xie Lan to ask for her opinion.

That is Xie Lan's home. Xie Lan can take whoever she wants back home. Why ask her?

No, now Xie Lan’s home is also considered Jiang Wan’s home.

Jiang Wan paid for the construction of four new houses, which made him half the owner.

After thinking about it this way, Jiang Wan finally understood.

Is Xie Lan worried that these two little beggars will have no place to live after being taken back home?

That's why I asked her.

Jiang Wan thought for a moment and said, "Why should I mind? These two children are also pitiful people. As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Besides, they are two helpless little beggars."

As soon as she finished speaking, the eyes of the two dirty children opposite lit up, and they looked at Jiang Wan with deep gratitude.

The older child said, "Thank you for taking us in, pretty sister. We won't live and eat for free. I will work for you to repay you!"

The other child didn't open his mouth, but his eyes were full of expectation.

Jiang Wan couldn't bear to see that pitiful look, so she opened the two food boxes from Zuixianlou and took out the plates of delicious dishes inside.

The two dirty little beggars stared with their eyes wide open, and Xie Jing was swallowing his saliva.

“Jiang Wan, where did you buy the food from? Why does it smell so good?!”

Xie Jing stared at the food, unwilling to look away.

Jiang Wan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Xue Ling and I went to Zuixianlou at noon. We bought a large table of dishes and couldn't finish them, so we asked the waiter to pack them for me."

She asked again: "Have you eaten yet?"

Xie Jing nodded, then shook his head, quickly glanced at Xie Lan, and said, "We just bought some steamed buns to eat. When we found the two little beggars, they were being beaten. Big brother was busy teaching them a lesson, and was afraid that you would get impatient waiting, so he didn't have time to buy food for the little beggars!"

Jiang Wan said: "That's great, there are a lot of leftovers, you guys can eat quickly."

Jiang Wan found a few pairs of chopsticks from the things she bought for Xie Lan and the others, and also took out a lot of snacks.

Xie Jing was the first to pick up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised pork and took a bite.

"Yeah! Delicious!"

Xie Jing narrowed his eyes in satisfaction and urged Xie Lan, "Brother, eat quickly! This meat melts in your mouth, it's so delicious!"

He lowered his head and said to the two little beggars, "Xiao Hu and Xiao Liu, you can eat too. Don't be polite."

The two children's eyes were full of desire, but they still followed the rules.

Xiaohu said, "Xiaoliu and I are dirty and cannot eat with the brothers. Brother Xie Jing, you guys eat first and Xiaoliu and I will eat what's left."

Jiang Wan felt a little sad.

These two little beggars looked thin and pitiful, but I didn’t expect them to be so sensible.

If it were any other beggar, he would have pounced on me long ago.

She said, "It's okay, Xie Jing and the others don't dislike you, just eat with them."

Xiao Hu insisted, "No, Brother Xie Jing and the others will finish eating first, then Xiao Liu and I will eat."

Jiang Wan had no choice but to find two new bowls, put in a lot of meat, vegetables and eggs, and filled up the two large bowls.

She stuffed one into each of the two little beggars' mouths and said, "Eat it. It won't bother anyone now."

Xiaohu swallowed his saliva. Although he was extremely hungry, he did not rush to eat. Instead, he picked up a piece of braised pork for Xiaoliu beside him with his chopsticks.

"Xiao Liu, don't you want to eat meat the most? Come, I'll give you this meat and let you eat as much as you want."

Xiaoliu had tears in his eyes. He picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth, and tears flowed down his face.

"It's delicious! Brother Xiaohu, you eat it too!"

Xiaohu saw Xiaoliu eating so much that his mouth was full of oil, so he started to eat with his chopsticks.

As soon as he took a bite, he couldn't help but tear up.

He stood up suddenly, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and was about to kneel down towards Jiang Wan.

Xie Lan was quick to pick him up.

Xiao Hu sobbed and said, "Beautiful sister, you, like Brother Xie Lan and Brother Xie Jing, are all rare good people in the world! Not only did you not despise Xiao Liu and I for being beggars, you also gave us such a sumptuous meal. Xiao Liu and I will always remember your kindness! From now on, we will be your servants and slaves! We will do whatever you ask us to do! We only ask that you can give us a hot meal and a place to stay to shelter us from the rain!"

Xiaoliu's mouth was filled with meat, but he still said incoherently: "Yeah, good people, you are really good people!"

Jiang Wan sighed softly, feeling sad about the hardships of life. Two little kids, less than ten years old, were begging on the street with no clothes on and were being looked down upon and bullied by others at will.

The cold winter was approaching, and if Xiaohu and Xiaoliu had not met Xie Jing, this winter would have been difficult to endure.

Jiang Wan is not a kind-hearted person, but she cannot bear to see the weak suffer in front of her.

Given my limited resources, I will try to help if I can.

Besides, Xiaohu and Xiaoliu are well-behaved and polite, totally unlike those rude, barbaric and brutal beggars on the street.

He is also unlike Fang Zhong and the other two who were strong and had hands and feet, but were too lazy to work and would rather abandon their dignity and beg on the streets.

At that time, Jiang Wan packed up Fang Zhong and the other two and sent them to the Jiang family because of their laziness and roguery.

This will cause chaos for the Jiang family.

Jiang Wan walked up to Xiaohu, patted his shoulder and said, "Xiaohu, you and I are one family from now on. What's the point of talking about servants and slaves? Besides, we live in the village, and the villagers are all simple and honest. If they knew that we found two little kids to be slaves for our family, I'm afraid they would spit on us to death."

Xiaohu hurriedly said: "Sister, we are here voluntarily, let's explain it to them!"

Jiang Wan smiled and shook his head, "Okay, since you call me sister, then you are my brother. How can I let my brother be a slave? Come eat quickly and come home with us after you finish eating."

Xiaohu was so moved that he couldn't help crying.

"Wow, wow, wow... I have brothers and sisters now. I can eat and have a place to live. I don't have to worry every day about being beaten or bullied by others. I don't have to suffer from cold and hunger anymore! Wow, wow..."

When Xiaohu started crying, Xiaoliu also started crying, and Jiang Wan was at a loss for what to do.

Xie Jing took two bites of food, came over and put his arm around Xiaohu's shoulders, pretending to be mature and said: "Xiaohu, you are a real man, men don't cry easily! You can't cry casually! Otherwise, you will not be manly at all!"
