Jiang Xiaoxiao rushed to Jia Shu’s hospital room.
Jia Shu had just finished eating; she drank a bowl of millet porridge. He Aiguo handed her a towel to wipe her hands.
"You’re not well; the doctor said you need to eat more. For today, this will do. By noon, we’ll give you sothing better. I just asked Song Moting to make chicken broth for you when he gets back, so you can enjoy chicken soup noodles by noon.
You really need to nourish yourself; if you continue like this, you’ll end up with ailnts."
He Aiguo felt sorry for Jia Shu; this girl was really unlucky to encounter such a situation on her visit ho.
Although he didn’t fully understand the story, he could grasp so of it from the vague remarks of others.
Jia Shu was directly sold by her parents to pay off her brother’s gambling debt; they actually sold their own daughter, sothing he’d never seen from such heartless parents.
And fearing she’d refuse to go with those people, they didn’t even give her food, leaving her too weak to escape.
What kind of parents could do such a thing?
He Aiguo had always thought his father was already unreliable.
But at least his father married a stepmother, who preferred her own children over him, which was understandable.
Jia Shu’s parents, however, were her biological ones, and yet they seed worse than his stepmother.
All these years, they’d never starved him to such an extent.
At least they pretended well enough in public, although they didn’t feed him properly, they did give him so food, mindful of others’ opinions.
Aside from cheating on his father, you couldn’t call them completely heartless.
But Jia Shu’s parents were so heartless they actually pawned their daughter to loan sharks.
Not considering their daughter’s future at all.
Jia Shu’s eyes reddened, "Brother He, I’m alright; it’s just a few missed als. Once I eat properly, I’ll recover in a few days. Don’t worry, and don’t let Brother Song spend too much. Don’t buy any chicken. My money was all taken by my parents.
Now I’m not even sure how to repay others’ debts. I don’t know if this year’s work points will be enough to pay you back."
Jia Shu was truly a ss of debts.
Her head was throbbing painfully.
He Aiguo couldn’t help but grin, "Don’t worry about those debts. The work points this year will surely cover them and more. You’re now, in a way, a little miss with so wealth; you could eat several chickens if you want. Just focus on recovering your health.
Learn to be kind to yourself. If you don’t love yourself, how can anyone else love you?"
Jia Shu didn’t quite understand the aning behind the words.
Jiang Xiaoxiao popped out, He Aiguo seed to have feelings for Jia Shu.
These two were clearly having an affair.
"Jia Shu!"
Suddenly jumping out.
Jia Shu felt joyful seeing Jiang Xiaoxiao.
"You spent the entire night at the hospital yesterday; aren’t you going to rest? Go back and sleep honestly. You look like a few more days like this, and a gust of wind could knock you down."
Her eyes filled with concern, especially upon seeing Jiang Xiaoxiao’s dark circles, it made her more worried.
Jiang Xiaoxiao sat by the bed, examining Jia Shu carefully.
"It’s not as exaggerated as you say. Not every gust of wind can knock down. Don’t worry, us youngsters can survive a few more sleepless nights. But you, look at you, even after this long on intravenous fluids and food, you still haven’t improved; you probably have blood deficiency.
This isn’t sothing that replenishes instantly. Don’t worry, I bought a chicken yesterday; I’ll make broth for you today. You seriously need nourishnt. Don’t talk about , look at yourself."
This ti, Jia Shu was misfortunate.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was deathly worried that Jia Shu might actually develop chronic illness.
In a past life, Jia Shu’s health failed terribly; she gave everything for soone else but died young.
This lifeti, Jiang Xiaoxiao refused to allow that for Jia Shu.
She aid for her to live well, live happily, as her ultimate goal.
"You, you nag like my mother..."
Jia Shu paused; was she like her mother?
Her own mother never worried about her like this, this nagging was only for her brother.
This ti she was truly heartbroken, never imagining her parents could do such a thing.
Knowing full well what kind of people they were, yet pawned her away.
Later, she nearly lost the will to live; what’s the point of living when her family sold her off like a commodity?
Once captured by those people, besides death, there seed no other way.
Losing dignity this way, Jia Shu would rather die.
If Jiang Xiaoxiao hadn’t arrived just in ti, had she been untied with a bit of strength, Jia Shu felt certain she wouldn’t have survived.
Now saying "mom" felt like sha.
How could anyone be so undeserving of being a mother?
Were her parents really her biological ones?
At this mont, Jia Shu truly wished she wasn’t their biological daughter, maybe it wouldn’t hurt as much, but being treated this way by her own parents, was possibly a unique case in the world.
Jiang Xiaoxiao saw Jia Shu’s sorrow.
She tightly held her hand, "Don’t mind others, parents are just a temporary bond in this life. In truth, there’s the present life but not the next, if fate allows harmonious life for a lifeti, that makes a family.
But if there’s no fate, treat them as strangers. Live your days well, make your life brilliant, that’s giving yourself justice for being in this world. You’ve got and so many friends, He Aiguo, Song Moting, Gu Dali, we are all your friends. Don’t let us down for coming far just to save you once."
Jiang Xiaoxiao worried that Jia Shu might not overco this hurdle in her heart.
Jia Shu smiled, "Don’t worry, little housekeeper. After you traveled so far to save once, I wouldn’t want to disappoint you. In this lifeti having you as a friend truly makes it worth it. Heaven knows what I owed you last life, from the mont I t you in this life, you’ve been tirelessly running around for ; you’ve been so good to ."
She squeezed Jiang Xiaoxiao’s hand tightly, a grip strong enough to hurt.
Jia Shu was genuinely grateful.
Jiang Xiaoxiao chuckled, "Ah, in past life, I owed you quite heavily, a life, a beautiful life, a connection. So, to repay my debts, live well. Truly, I hope to see you happy, not for anything but for us having been friends."
This was true.
Jia Shu and He Aiguo laughed.
"Alright, alright, as your debtor, to ensure you properly repay , I must ensure you live well, long enough to never finish repaying. Now hurry back, the debtor insists, you must heal yourself, otherwise how will you repay? I’m still waiting for your chicken soup."
Jia Shu genuinely worried about Jiang Xiaoxiao, staying up late was no joke.
Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded, "I’ll definitely go back, don’t rush, I’ll check with the doctor first, supposedly your condition is good enough for discharge. If so, then go ho and recuperate."
Jia Shu felt dejected, recuperate at ho?!
What ho did she have left?
