Chapter 88: Support

Lin Shao walked over with red eyes and carefully shook her hand. “Miaomiao, Big Brother is back.”

Lin Miaomiao opened her eyes and smiled sweetly at Lin Shao. She said weakly, “Brother, Miaomiao didn’t run around today.”

“I know. Miaomiao is a good child.”

Bruiser cried as he watched from the side. It was such a touching scene.

Shen Yijia was speechless.

She really wanted to beat this guy to death.

The siblings’ attention was attracted by Bruiser’s sobbing. They glanced at each other and then at Shen Yijia.

Shen Yijia held her forehead. Why did she accept such an embarra.s.sing underling? Not only was he timid, but he was also crying like a girl. However, it was too late for regrets.

She kicked him angrily. “Go and brew the medicine.”

Bruiser shuddered and jumped far away from Shen Yijia. “I’ll go now.”

After taking two steps, he turned around curiously and asked, “Where’s the medicine?”

He clearly saw that the pharmacy did not give Lin Shao any medicine.

Shen Yijia remained silent.

She took out a ginseng and broke it in half before throwing it to him. “Cook this.”

She couldn’t possibly drip the spiritual liquid into plain water and tell Lin Shao that it could treat his sister’s illness.

Then Lin Shao would probably think that she was sick too.

Lin Shao saw what Bruiser was holding and suddenly walked up to Shen Yijia. He knelt down and kowtowed three times. “Thank you, benefactor.”

Shen Yijia stomped her feet. “There’s no need. Don’t let me see you again next time.” she thought.

She knew that once this sentence appeared in a novel, the person who spoke would want to cling to their benefactor. She wouldn’t fall for it.

Bruiser used a jar in the dilapidated temple to cook half a stick of ginseng. Shen Yijia carried it over and checked the temperature. She secretly added a drop of spiritual liquid to the jar before handing it to Lin Shao to feed Lin Miaomiao.

“Brother…” Lin Miaomiao looked at Shen Yijia uneasily.

“Don’t be afraid. She’s a good person,” Lin Shao soothed.

Shen Yijia blinked. “Did he just say I was a good person?” she thought.

After drinking the ginseng soup, Lin Miaomiao immediately felt that her body seemed to be much lighter and warm. She said happily, “Brother, am I going to live?”

Lin Shao had no idea that Shen Yijia had used the spiritual liquid. He said with tears in his eyes, “Yes, I won’t let anything happen to you.”

Shen Yijia sighed and took out a piece of silver, placing it next to them. “We’ll leave first.”

With that, she gestured for Bruiser to leave.

Lin Shao was stunned. He glanced at the silver and gritted his teeth as he pulled Lin Miaomiao to block Shen Yijia’s path.

He dropped to his knees. “Please accept us. We can do anything if you give us a bowl of rice.”

In Lin Shao’s opinion, Shen Yijia was definitely not a bad person since she willingly helped a stranger.

He knew that he did not have the ability to support his sister. He only hoped that Shen Yijia could give him a place to stay.

Bruiser’s eyelids twitched as he suddenly felt threatened.

Lin Miaomiao also knelt down. “Big Sister, please accept me and Big Brother. I… I don’t eat much at all. I can work too.”

“The cla.s.sic novel scene is here.” Shen Yijia thought to herself. “What a joke. How could I be someone’s benefactor?”

“Definitely not.”

When Shen Yijia returned to the village, the workers had already returned home. She drove the carriage into the courtyard and stopped.

“Sister-in-law, you’re back. Sister Xiu’er sent over some delicious snacks today. Brother Hao and I didn’t eat much. We saved them for you.” Sister Huan welcomed her excitedly.

Shen Yijia blinked awkwardly and jumped out of the carriage.

Two people got out of the carriage.

“Sister-in-law, who are they?” Sister Huan looked at the two skinny people curiously.

Shen Yijia scratched her head, not knowing how to explain. “Would anyone believe me if I said I picked them up from the streets?” she thought.

Indeed, she had brought them home in the end.
