"Ningning, I brought you so water, why don’t you clean up a bit? There are your little sister’s clothes in the wardrobe; you can make do with them for now..." Mrs. Yan said.
An Ning: "Alright, thank you, Mom."
"I’ll head out now, call if you need anything."
Once Mrs. Yan left, An Ning imdiately locked the door and began to handle her situation.
The household’s conditions weren’t great to begin with, and Gao Xiaoi didn’t have many clothes of her own. She took two outfits to her grandmother’s house, leaving only one old piece in the wardrobe, the one she was wearing, stained with blood.
There was nothing to change into.
However, luckily, last night her clothes got wet from Xiaoniu’s pee, so she had casually laid them out on the stool, and now, after feeling them with her hand, they were already dry.
Though she felt sowhat disgusted, given the circumstances, she could only continue wearing the child-urine-stained clothes.
She could only comfort herself inwardly, thinking little kids aren’t dirty, he’s her own brother, so she shouldn’t dislike it!
Gao Xiaoi’s clothes were already worn out, and now stained with blood, they weren’t worth wearing anymore.
An Ning directly tossed the clothes into a space, thinking to herself that she’d buy so fabric for Gao Xiaoi when she had the chance to go to the county.
Just as compensation for dirtying her clothes and bedding!
Although at that mont, An Ning really wanted to return to Taohua Village, she didn’t leave. Instead, she watched Xiaoniu in the courtyard, and Mrs. Yan tirelessly cleaning the quilt and bedspread due to her oversight; she was busy from morning till noon.
It wasn’t until afternoon that Mrs. Yan finally finished, and An Ning urged her to rest while she prepared lunch.
After they had lunch, when no one was around, An Ning asked Mrs. Yan, "Mom, have we discussed what to do about the second household’s dical expenses?"
As soon as this topic was ntioned, Mrs. Yan’s expression instantly changed, "What else can we do? Your dad said this ti it’s in respect for your fourth uncle’s sake, after all, the doctor was brought by him. If we don’t pay for the dicine, it’s like putting your fourth uncle in a difficult situation. But I also said this is the last ti; in the future, our third household must not get involved in the second household’s affairs."
"So Dad agreed?" An Ning asked.
Mrs. Yan finally showed a hint of a smile, "Yes, he agreed."
If he hadn’t agreed, she certainly wouldn’t agree to pay.
"Since Dad has agreed, Mom shouldn’t bla him for this matter anymore. After all, Dad must feel uneasy about it too." An Ning said.
Mrs. Yan suddenly realized sothing wasn’t right, "Wait a minute, Ningning, why do I feel you’re always defending your dad? Who are you closer to?"
"Do you even need to ask? Of course, I’m closer to Mom." An Ning walked over to her, snuggling into her arm, "In this world, the person I’m closest to is you, Mom!" and An Dafu too, but this, she couldn’t say.
"Then why are you always speaking up for your dad?" Mrs. Yan deliberately glared at her.
An Ning just laughed more happily, "Now, the person living with Mom is Dad. Supporting him is like supporting you. Ningning’s greatest hope now is for Mom and Dad to live happily together, for Xiaoniu to grow up safe and sound. Not asking for riches, just hoping for lifelong safety, that’s enough!"
As for An Bingfeng, An Ning understood deeply that even if he ca, she could do nothing about it.
