Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“I, Luo Ziyang, can’t stand people like you who only know how to bully the old and weak. Even if this person is your wife, as a man, you shouldn’t treat her like this!” As Luo Ziyang spoke, he grabbed the man’s arm and threw him into the distance.

The woman let go of the child and held his face with both hands. With tears in her eyes, she said, “Follow this savior! I can’t protect you anymore. If you stay, you’ll die. I’m sorry that I treated you like that in the past. Although it was for your own good, I’ve mistreated you! From now on, you don’t have a mother anymore. Live well! You have to remember that as long as you live well, it’ll be the greatest repayment and revenge!”

With that, the woman pushed the child to Li Xiaoran and turned to run.

The child looked at the woman, who was stumbling away, and there was a trace of sorrow in his eyes.

“Mother, live well!” The child said.

When the woman heard this, she stopped, then walked towards the man again.

When Li Xiaoran saw this scene, she sighed and squatted down to look at the child.

“If you miss your mother, I can take you two in together!”

When the child heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he looked over and shook his head.

Afterward, the child turned back to look at his mother.

“My mother has a brother. She needs to take care of him!”

As soon as he said this, Li Xiaoran’s eyes stung and she couldn’t help but reach out to touch his head.

“How old are you?! You need family to take care of you too! Why don’t you think for yourself a little more?”

The child’s eyes turned red.

“My father is gone. I promised my father that I would take good care of my mother. Even if I can’t take good care of her, at least I can’t cause trouble for her!”

At this moment, Li Xiaoran did not know how to comfort the child, but she reached out to hold the child’s hand.

However, just as Li Xiaoran was about to pull the child, he dodged.

“Benefactor, my hands are dirty. They’ll dirty your clothes! I can walk myself!”

Li Xiaoran held the child’s hand again without hesitation and said softly, “It’s fine. If your hands and your clothes are dirty, you can wash them! As long as your heart is untainted, it’s fine!”

When the child heard Li Xiaoran’s words and felt the warmth from her hand, he nodded and followed her.

Zhao Xiu did not blame her daughter when she saw her bring back a child.

Anyone who saw this child’s scrawny appearance would feel some pity for him.

“Come, follow me to wash your hands and face. Let’s eat something first, then take a shower, okay?”

The child looked at Li Xiaoran, as if asking for her opinion.

“Go! This is my mother. Let her bring you to wash your hands! Wash your hands so you can eat!” Li Xiaoran said.

The child nodded and followed Zhao Xiu to the back of the shop.

“Yuan Cheng, take out the porridge and sweet buns you made! This child hasn’t eaten for a long time. You can’t give him anything that isn’t easy to digest. Let him eat some porridge and buns first!”

Yuan Cheng nodded and quickly scooped out the porridge. Then, he took out the steamed buns.

Soon, the child washed his face and hands and returned to the shop.

Li Xiaoran placed the porridge and steamed buns in front of the child and gave him a spoon.

“You haven’t eaten meat in a long time, so I can’t give you greasy meat for the time being. Your body can’t digest it yet, so eat porridge and steamed buns first! ”

The child nodded and picked up his spoon and chopsticks, then he ate porridge and steamed buns with his chopsticks.

After taking a bite of the steamed bun, the child asked in surprise, “It’s sweet?”

“Yes! These are sweet buns. They’re delicious, right?” Li Xiaoran replied with a smile when she saw the child’s surprised look.

The child nodded, then he continued eating.

When Li Xiaoran saw the child’s clothes, she thought of something.

“Mother, do we have clothes for children?”

Zhao Xiu was stunned when she heard her daughter’s words.

“No, I don’t. You can’t amend your sister’s clothes for him!”

“My family has them. I’ll go back now and get a few sets of clothes! ” Mao Dao thought of something and walked over. “My mother and the others kept all my clothes since I was young. They said that my future sons can wear them!”

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she nodded. “Then I’ll get two sets of clothes from you first. I’ll make two new sets of clothes for him later!”

Mao Dao nodded and turned to go home.

“I don’t need new clothes. Old clothes are fine!” the child said suddenly.

“Be good and eat well! Don’t worry about anything else! If you want to thank me, be a good person in the future. Become someone who can help me!” Li Xiaoran said.

The child stared at Li Xiaoran and said directly, “I don’t know what I can do.”

“It’s fine. I’ll get someone to teach you many skills. You just need to master these skills, then you can help me!” Li Xiaoran said with a smile.

“Do I have to press my fingerprint?” The child asked, remembering something. “I saw that people in the village have to press their fingerprints when selling children!”

Li Xiaoran was stunned for a moment and felt a little sorry for this child, so she shook her head and said, “No need, there’s no need to press your fingerprint! I didn’t buy you, and you’re not a servant. I just adopted you! Just call me Sister Xiaoran in the future!”

Although the child did not understand what the word adoption meant, he knew that not being a servant was a good thing.

The child was a grateful person. He knew that Li Xiaoran treated him well, so he secretly made up his mind to learn many skills in the future to help Sister Xiaoran.

“I’ll try to learn more skills!” The child said.

“Alright, let’s eat first!” Li Xiaoran nodded and said.

Luo Ziyang watched the child eating and for some reason, he suddenly thought of his childhood.

Like him, the child was lucky to have met a benefactor.

“Sister-in-law, if you want to adopt a child, why don’t you let him stay in the same room as me? Let him stay in a single room when he grows a little older! I’m afraid he’ll be afraid of being alone!” Luo Ziyang said.

Li Xiaoran did not make the decision for the child. She just looked at him.

“Are you willing?

The child looked at Luo Ziyang and remembered that this person had kicked the bad man away, so his eyes lit up.

“I’m willing to!”

“Since you’re willing, you guys can live together!” Li Xiaoran naturally agreed..
