Zheng Xiuxiu knelt on the ground, touched the child's head and said:

"But she's only four years old, only four years old! She's never seen anything, how can she die? I can't... I can't let her die like this.

Lin Chong, can you please save her? Save her, I know our family still has money.

Zheng Xiuxiu knelt down on the ground, and her mother-in-law beside her said sarcastically:

"Zheng Xiuxiu, are you crazy? We don't have much money left. How can we spend that little money on a girl?

When she dies, we can just bury her and save food.”

Lin Chong shook his sleeves and said, "Yes, that's it."

Zheng Xiuxiu was filled with despair. The girl opened her eyes dazedly and murmured, "Mom, it hurts! I don't want to die..."

Zheng Xiuxiu hugged the girl and burst into tears: "Ah... this cruel world! How can I save you? Is there anyone who can help me? Ah... hahahahahahahaha..."

Lin Chong rushed over, kicked her in the chest and said, "Why are you howling so late at night? Aren't you ashamed?"

Zhao Qiaoniang couldn't bear to watch any longer: "Xiuxiu, why don't you hold the child and let Madam Bai see it?"

Zheng Xiuxiu raised her head and looked at Zhao Qiaoniang and said, "Qiaoniang, is it okay? I really... really have no other choice."

"Okay, you can come with me, holding the child."

Zheng Xiuxiu's mother-in-law cursed:

"Bah! Why do you have to follow this kind of woman when you can follow anyone else? You can't live a good life, what do you want to do?

Zheng Xiuxiu, if you dare to take the child away today, don't come back."

Zhao Qiaoniang looked at Zheng Xiuxiu without saying anything. Zheng Xiuxiu looked at her confused daughter and followed Zhao Qiaoniang directly towards them.

Madam Bai looked at Zhao Qiaoniang and asked, "Qiaoniang, what's wrong?"

Qiao Niang said, "Madam Bai, Zheng Xiuxiu's daughter has a severe fever. Do you think there is any way to treat her?"

Mrs. Bai quickly got up. Lin Wanwan looked out of the bamboo basket and saw a thin woman holding a little girl.

The little girl was about three or four years old. She was curled up in the corner, looking so pitiful.

Her face was red, but it was not a healthy red, but a sickly red caused by a high fever.

Lin Wanwan could tell at a glance that the little girl must have a fever.

The little girl was so thin that she was just a bag of bones. It was easy to see that it was probably because of hunger that her body was so weak that she could not resist the attack of the disease.

Madam Bai felt her pulse and said, "Her fever is too high. We need to lower her temperature, otherwise her brain will be damaged."

Lin Wanwan sighed, fearing that her mother might have softened her heart again.

Zheng Xiuxiu knelt on the ground and said, "Mrs. Bai, please help her!"

Madam Bai looked at her and said:

"This little girl is starving, and when people are hungry, they lose their nutrition.

Now she has a fever! Even if we can pull her back from the brink of death now.

But if she doesn't take good care of herself later, it won't work!"

Zheng Xiuxiu said with despair: "The girl hasn't eaten or drunk anything for two days..."

How could a child possibly bear it?

Madam Bai frowned and said, "It's too late to go up the mountain to collect herbs now. We must lower her temperature."

Lin Wanwan looked at the child and felt that he was indeed pitiful. She was afraid that she couldn’t find any herbs now, but she had a wine bag.

She looked at the wine bag on Master Bai's body and said, "Naitang, go to Master Bai. He has a wine bag on his waist! Go and take it out."

Naitang rushed out directly and climbed onto Bai Fuzi's body. Bai Fuzi was startled and said to Naitang, "You unlucky thing, don't come to me. God knows I'm most afraid of mice. Wuuuuuu... Wife, help me!"

Madam Bai chuckled and said, "You're fearless, so how could you be afraid of such a little thing? It's quite intelligent..."

Mrs. Bai looked at Toffee and pointed at the wine bag and said, "Oh! How could I forget, you have wine here, it can cool you down."

She simply took out a cloth, put some water in it and heated it up, then poured some wine in it and started to wipe the child.

Zheng Xiuxiu sat beside him, helping to wipe his body, and kept chanting, "Greatly compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva, please save Xiaoyuer..."

Madam Bai patted her head and said, "This girl is fine for now, but her body can't withstand such torture. She will die sooner or later."

Zheng Xiuxiu fell to her knees and said, "Please save her. She is only three years old and has never seen anything."

Madam Bai sighed and looked at her and said:

"Zheng Xiuxiu, it's not that we don't want to save this child. We are already helping you! But everything else depends on you.

As a woman, and more importantly, a mother, you have to find a way to protect your child. It is better to rely on yourself than on others."

Lin Wanwan kept clapping her hands. Mrs. Bai spoke so well. Zheng Xiuxiu didn't sleep all night and no one knew what she was thinking.

The next day, Xiao Yuer woke up. Mrs. Bai took some water and secretly stuffed a few bites of bread into her mouth.

Xiao Yu'er had taken a few bites of the pancake when he saw Lin Chong rushing over, pulling Zheng Xiuxiu's hair and slapping her twice:

"You stinky bitch, are you planning to take root here?

You don’t have to take care of household chores, right?

This Zheng Qiaoniang has a notorious reputation. What do you want to do? Do I have no shame? "

Zheng Xiuxiu covered her face with her hands, tears streaming down her face: "I did this for Xiaoyuer..."

It would have been fine if the child wasn't mentioned, but as soon as this was mentioned, Lin Chong became even more furious. He rushed directly towards Xiao Yuer and slapped him twice.

His hands were very strong. Xiao Yuer covered the corners of her swollen mouth and sobbed, but she could only make unclear sounds in her throat and could not utter a word.

Master Bai and the carpenter hurried over. Master Bai grabbed Lin Chong and angrily scolded him, "Are you still a human being? This is your own daughter! How could you treat her like this?"

The young carpenter also said anxiously: "Why don't you just talk it out nicely? Why are you so harsh?"

Lin Chong snorted coldly and said:

"Do you want meddling in other people's business? I'm telling you, I'm going to beat her three times a day from now on. As long as she's not dead, I'll come over and beat her every day.

Food is very scarce at home now, so how could we have extra food for her?

If I don't kill her today, I won't give up!"

As he spoke, Lin Chong raised his hand again and waved towards Xiao Yuer.

Zheng Xiuxiu suddenly jumped up, threw him to the ground, sat on him, and slapped him madly on the face:

"Why? Why should my daughter die? Why don't you die? Why doesn't your mother die?

Why don’t your sister’s family of parasites just die? Wuuuuu… She’s only three years old, three years old! Wuuuuu…”
