How can someone travel through time and space and become a beggar?

Dong Xiaohuan bought a bag of snacks and picked up a can of chicken soup before arriving at Miaoshoutang.

"Xiaochu?"

Xia Chu was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, resting. Guan Xu had already fallen asleep beside her. When they heard the sound, they both opened their eyes. "Aunt Wang? I'm in there."

Dong Xiaohuan pushed the door open and walked in. Xia Chu smiled when she saw her, but her face was as pale as paper, and even her lips had lost their color. This smile made people feel distressed. She quickly stepped forward and gently stroked Xia Chu's face. At this moment, she suddenly wanted to take her back. She said with distressed eyes: "It's only been a day since we last met, how did you become like this?"

Xia Chu comforted her, "It's okay, auntie. Doctor Sun said I'll be fine after two days of rest."

Sun Wusi just happened to lift the curtain and come in. "I didn't say anything. Come and drink the medicine."

Dong Xiaohuan helped Xia Chu stand up, but as soon as she moved, she retched twice and her face turned even paler. "What's going on?"

"A concussion of the head will make you feel dizzy and want to vomit." Sun Wusi held Xia Chu's head. The medicine was already warm and ready to be taken. "Drink it quickly, then lie down and rest."

The medicine smelled bad, but after drinking it, Xia Chu actually felt okay. Compared to the dizziness and nausea, it was just a drizzle.

"Eat a piece of dessert to calm you down." Dong Xiaohuan took out a piece and was about to feed it to Xia Chu.

Sun Wusi glanced at it and said, "Mung bean cake is not good, it has antidote properties, but rice cake is okay."

Dong Xiaohuan quickly took it back and saw Guan Xu sitting quietly on the side. "Oh, here, is this Xiaochu's brother? His younger brother can't eat it, so you eat it."

"Thank you, auntie." Guan Xu took it happily. It was a snack, and he had never eaten it before.

Xia Chu retched the moment he moved. Dong Xiaohuan said distressedly, "You have to take medicine and eat several times a day. Why don't you lie on your side?"

Sun Wusi shook his head. Even though it was just a small hole, the area around it was swollen. "It won't work today. It will squeeze the wound."

You have to listen to the doctor when you see a doctor, so you can only let Xia Chu lie down again. Dong Xiaohuan followed the doctor out and asked from behind: "How much is the medical bill?"

Sun Wusi turned around and looked at her. Could she be a relative of the children? After all, he had never seen this woman before when she was sick or injured. "What is the relationship between this woman and them?"

Dong Xiaohuan thought for a moment, "I, I am the new aunt of the child in the house. When can he come home? I will take him back and take good care of him."

Sun Wusi knew these children well. He knew they were from the beggars' den at the north corner. When did they get an aunt? He thought about how the children had changed into new clothes and looked better. Could it be because of the aunt? She was kindhearted. "Stay at least three days. After three days, we'll see how they recover."

Dong Xiaohuan had already decided to adopt a child, so she wasn't stingy. "Okay, how much does it cost? The children are young and don't have much money. I'll pay for it."

"You still need to take medicine in the next few days. Let's calculate it together in three days." After Sun Wusi said this, he continued to see patients in the front hall.

Dong Xiaohuan didn't mention it in front of the two children. She had to go back and talk to Brother Yong to confirm it.

After a while, Liu Zhenzhen came out from behind the curtain, holding a few reed tubes in her hand and handing them over. "Girl, give this to the child to drink water from. Just put it in the water and suck it with your mouth. Don't move it anymore."

Dong Xiaohuan took it and looked at it. The reed tube was hollow and just right for her. She was delighted and said, "Thank you, ma'am."

"You're welcome. It's just that my family member didn't think of it at the moment."

After a few polite words, Dong Xiaohuan poured out two bowls of chicken soup she had brought, one for each child. She placed the reed tube in the broth. Xia Chu hadn't felt anything when he was still, but now, the aroma of the meat had whetted his appetite. Dong Xiaohuan fed him a bowl of soup and a chicken drumstick before he waved his hand, saying no more.

Dong Xiaohuan fetched water in the yard to wash the dishes. She glanced at the sun and realized it was getting late. "The brothers can have the remaining chicken soup when they come back. I'm going to go back and cook. Your uncle will be back for lunch soon. I'll bring lunch over later."

Xia Chu quickly refused, "No need, Aunt Wang, we have food to eat, don't run back and forth, it's too much trouble for you."

"Don't worry about it." Dong Xiaohuan touched the little guy's face again, "You need to nourish him well, his mouth has lost its color."

After saying that, she left in a hurry.

At noon, Xiatian also brought a bowl of wontons and two steamed buns. The wontons were from Xia Chu and the steamed buns were from Guan Xu.

Grandma Wang also came to express her condolences and forcibly left ten cents.

"Brother, Aunt Wang brought some chicken soup. Do you think you're cold?" Xia Chu said, turning his head.

"Is this from Aunt Wang?" Xia Tian reached out and touched it. It was no longer hot. "It's cold. Do you want to drink it now? I'll ask Doctor Sun to borrow a stove to heat it up."

Xia Chu was worried that Aunt Wang would come to deliver the meal later, so she didn't dare to eat now. "You and Second Brother should have a drink. Fifth Brother and I have already had some. The wontons will be ready later. Aunt Wang said she would deliver the meal."

Xia Tian put down the chicken soup when he heard it. He wouldn't drink the chicken soup for his sister's health. He would leave it for her to drink in the afternoon or at night when she was hungry. "Aunt Wang? She left in a hurry after hearing about your story this morning. Did she even buy chicken soup?"

Zhang Zhou walked over and looked at his sister's head. Although it was wrapped tightly and he couldn't see clearly, he felt relieved after taking a look. "Save it for you. My brother and I will eat the cake."

Xia Chu frowned, "Eating bread again, no vegetables or meat, just to fill my stomach."

Xia Tian smiled helplessly, knowing that his sister was worried about them, but he joked: "It's not good to fill your stomach. Xiao Chu is rich now, and he doesn't even care about cakes."

"Hmph, you know that's not what I meant." Xia Chu turned his head to the other side.

Seeing that his sister was getting angry, Xia Tian hurried forward to comfort her, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, brother knows what you mean. When you get better, we can have a good meal, okay?"

When Wang Yong returned home from his shift, Dong Xiaohuan mentioned Xia Chu's headache to him. She focused on the little guy's pale face and his frail, almost nauseous look, her words filled with heartache.

Wang Yong was a constable at the Yuhang County government office. He hated evil and frowned upon hearing about this. "Is there such a thing? Do you know who hit him? I'll go with you later. Why did someone get his head smashed for no reason? If I know who it was, I'll arrest him and make sure he pays for his medical expenses."

"Aren't you on duty this afternoon?" Dong Xiaohuan glanced at him. "It's said to be an unfamiliar child. I'm afraid I can't find him even if I try. Go ahead and do your thing. I'm just asking if I can bring the child back. Even if we don't adopt him, we can send him away once his injuries heal."

"This house is ours. If you want to take them, take them. I have no objection." Wang Yong wiped his mouth after finishing his meal, walked to the door, and turned back to his wife who had sent him off. "Do those guys have money for medical treatment? Didn't they want to jump into the river just for two hundred coins? If not, we can pay for it as a way to repay his daily expenses."

This coincided with what she had in mind. Dong Xiaohuan handed him the water bag and said, "We agreed to pay it back when we can go home. I'm also thinking of giving the money to the children. They're all as skinny as monkeys, and I don't know if they're full every day."

"You make your own decision. I'll go first." Wang Yong picked up the water bag and walked out briskly.

Dong Xiaohuan took two steps to catch up, "Drink more water, don't be so brave, I'm waiting for you at home."

"Yes, ma'am." Wang Yong smiled knowingly and waved his hand.
