Chapter 14 The Brother Who Is Too Sick to Get Up

"Mom, I'm really hungry." The seven-year-old Huzi's face was covered in black and gray with tears streaming down his face.

"Little Cat, let Aunt Zhou take you to wash your face." When Zhou looked at Ning Yue, she was interrupted by Ning Yue in time.

She knew what Mrs. Zhou wanted to ask her, and the tiger was too hungry to die, so there was no longer any delay. I will talk about meeting Mrs. Zhou later.

Reminded by Ning Yue, Mrs. Zhou hurriedly took her youngest son to wash his face.

Ning Yue went to the kitchen to pick up a small pot, took out part of the pork rib soup from the pot, and put the rice for the night into the main room by herself, and put it on the dilapidated dining table.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhou was still wiping the tiger's face in the yard, Ning Yue quickly filled a bowl of white rice and a bowl of pork ribs, picked them up and walked to a nearby earthen house to stand still.

"I'm here to bring you food, is it convenient to go in?" Standing at the door of the old and leaky wooden door, he asked the people inside.

"Cough, cough, come in!" A weak voice that could cough out your lungs answered her.

Ning Yue pushed the door open with a meal in hand.

In the low and dark house, there was only room for a wooden bed, and a boy who was too thin to be human was lying there, his pale face was reddish from coughing hard.

Yang Xu hasn't eaten much for five days.

Because of his illness, life was very difficult for his parents. The family had been out of food for several months, and they kept it from him. Although the younger sister is small, even if she is very hungry, she will not cry loudly. When they can't stand the hunger, they will drink water vigorously until they are full.

Parents thought they were hiding it from him, but although he couldn't get out of bed, he was not a fool.

In the porridge made for him every day, the rice grains are getting less and less, and he knows that the family is already very difficult, and it is he who has dragged down the whole family. Seeing a doctor and selling all the fields at home, he is a burden.

Whenever the family is bullied by grandma or others, he also wants to rush out to help his parents to reason, but his body is too weak to stand up, so whenever someone in the family comes to make trouble, he hates it the most. When I was alone, I hated myself for being a useless person.

Yang Xu was lying on the bed, the moment he saw Ning Yue, his mind was blank and he didn't know what to do.

Where did a girl like a moon and a fairy come to his house?

"Hi, I'm Ning Yue, the meal is ready, you can eat it quickly." Ning Yue put the meal on a small square table next to Yang Xu's bed, and then stood in front of Yang Xu's bed, " I'll help you up." Ning Yue naturally wanted to help Yang Xu, but was interrupted, "No, please let my mother in."

Under the torment of the illness, the young man actually has the shadow of twilight.

Ning Yue's nose was inexplicably sore, she wanted to comfort him, but she was afraid that he would think she was pitying him.

She nodded, and as soon as she turned around, she saw Mrs. Zhou standing at the door of the room.

"Benefactor, go and eat quickly, I'll help Brother Xu get up." Zhou was surprised that Ning Yue would come to deliver food to her eldest son, but she didn't tell her benefactor about the eldest son.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhou seemed hesitant to speak, Ning Yue could only explain, "It's from the villagers who came to the house just now."

After Ning Yue finished speaking, she left the room and went into the main room to eat with Hu Zi.

She didn't feel very hungry, just picked up a few chopsticks symbolically, and felt full.

Zhou waited for Ning Yue to leave, suppressed other doubts in her heart, and helped Yang Xu get up.

"Mother, how can our family have the money to buy rice and meat?" Yang Xu looked at the fragrant food on the small table, and was very anxious. Didn't his parents really buy his sister?
Seeing her son getting excited, Mrs. Zhou quickly explained to him, "It was bought by a benefactor."

Then let Yang Xu eat, she sat down and told her son how she and Ning Yue met.

In the main room, Huzi ate his food in big mouthfuls, but suddenly stopped.

"Huzi, what's the matter?" Ning Yue sat aside, looked at him and asked in bewilderment.
