I was sold when I opened my eyes! My sick and disabled husband comforts me every night after he wake

Lan Zhi slapped her thigh and rushed into her room. Seeing that the child was still fast asleep, she opened the bundle the woman had placed on the ground, revealing a letter inside.

She unfolded the letter, and the delicate handwriting on it caught her eye.

“Kind person, I don’t know who you are, but I know that you must be the kind person I have chosen from among many. My son is healthy and five years old this year. His birthday is June 18th. His clothes are in the bundle. I really can’t afford to raise him anymore. Please, for the sake of his well-behaved and sensible nature, adopt him! I kowtow to you.”

Upon seeing the letter, Lan Zhi felt as if she couldn't breathe and had swallowed a bitter pill.

This woman is so irresponsible. She has the ability to have children, but why doesn't she have the ability to raise them?

Besides, she and Mo Ning were already at their wits' end, how could they possibly raise this child?

She handed the letter to Mo Ning, who, after reading it, frowned slightly and said in a low voice:

"When that woman left, I felt that her expression was a bit strange, and I was right."

Lan Zhi carefully folded the letter he handed her, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"What should we do now?"

Mo Ning shook his head.

"I do not know either."

She thought for a moment, then stood up and said:

“This child was sent by Nie Yuan, and I’m taking him to him now.”

After speaking, she got up and walked towards her room. Just then, she heard a child crying inside. She quickly ran over, and the child stopped crying when he saw her, cautiously asking...

"Mother, I want my mother."

Thinking of that heartless woman, Lan Zhi gently stroked the child's dry, calloused face and softly comforted him:

"Your mother will be back soon."

The boy asked again,

"then who are you?"

"I...I'm a doctor, the doctor who's treating your illness!"

The boy got up, sat on the bed, and after scanning the room with his big eyes, he actually grinned.

“My mother said that we won’t have to sleep in the dilapidated temple anymore soon, and we’ll have a new room to sleep in soon. Is she talking about this place?”

Hearing the child's innocent words, Lan Zhi felt a pang of sadness, and then said to him:

"I'll take you somewhere where your mother will look for you, okay?"

Without saying a word, the boy shook his head.

"I'm not going anywhere, I'll just wait for my mother here."

"But this is my home, your mother won't come here."

As she spoke, she got up, tied the bundle the woman had left behind, slung it over her arm, then went to the bedside, picked up the boy with one hand, and said, "Shall I take you to find your mother?"

The boy hesitated, "Sister, I'm very heavy, please put me down and let me walk by myself!"

Lan Zhi was quite surprised that such a young child was so polite.

Even so, she absolutely could not keep the child; firstly, she didn't have the energy, and secondly, she didn't have the money.

After carrying the child out the door, she glanced at Mo Ning and then resolutely walked towards the front gate.

On the way, the child hugged her neck tightly and affectionately told her...

"Sister, my name is Mao Mao, and I am five years old."

"Where did you come from?"

Mao Mao pouted and tilted her head, saying:

“I don’t know. My mother said that she took me around when I was one year old. She also said that we came from a very, very far place and that she had taken me on a very, very long journey.”

"Then what are you doing here?"

"I don't know. My mother said that if she doesn't take me with her, someone will kill me sooner or later."

His words terrified Lan Zhi.

Who would want to kill such a lovely child?

"What about your father?"

Mao Mao shook his head.

"I don't have a father, I don't remember what my father looks like, and my mother won't tell me either."

At this point, Mao Mao lowered his head in disappointment. Lan Zhi felt a little sorry for him, but she was struggling to take care of herself, so how could she have the energy to care for others?

When she arrived at the Nie family's house with Mao Mao in her arms, Wu Juan was the first to run out and ask questions.

"Where did you get this child? What are you doing in my house?"

She put Mao Mao on the ground, pointed at Nie Yuan who followed her out, and

"Nie Yuan, this child's mother is gone. I'm not able to raise him. You brought him here, so please take him in!"

As she spoke, she gritted her teeth, pushed the child next to Nie Yuan, and tried to put the bundle down. Seeing this, Wu Juan quickly pushed the bundle that she was about to put on the ground back to her.

"Ling Lanzhi, where did you get this child and want to give it to Yuan'er? He's not married yet, don't you dare harm him."

“Aunt Wu, this child was brought to my house by Nie Yuan. Now that his mother is gone, I can’t keep the child. I can only hand him over to Nie Yuan. As for what to do? Anyway, he works in the government office, so he’ll definitely have a way.”

Nie Yuan seemed momentarily confused about what was going on.

"What did you say? That woman is gone?"

Lan Zhi handed the letter to Nie Yuan and replied irritably:

"See for yourself!"

Nie Yuan curiously took the letter, and when he read its contents, he was left with a feeling of both amusement and exasperation.

"She dumped a living child on you and then left? What a selfish mother she is."

Mao Mao, who had been confused about what was happening, seemed to realize something at this moment. His big eyes blinked a few times, and then he quickly ran to Lan Zhi's side, tugged at her clothes, and asked timidly,

"Sister, doesn't my mother want me anymore?"

His eyes were brimming with tears, but he held them back, refusing to let them fall, and instead looked at Lan Zhi with fear in his eyes.

Lan Zhi squatted down in front of him, raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and shook her head.

"No, your mother has to leave for a while."

"Mom still doesn't want me anymore. She asked me before if I would miss her if she disappeared one day. I thought she was just trying to scare me because I was disobedient, but I've been very obedient these past few days. She still doesn't want me, waah..."

Mao Mao's crying broke Lan Zhi's heart, and even Wu Juan, who had always harbored resentment, couldn't help but wipe away her tears.

Nie Yuan scratched his head helplessly, then stepped forward, picked up the bundle, and took Mao Mao from Lan Zhi's arms.

"I'll take him to the county government office..."

"elder sister……"

Suddenly, Mao Mao reached out her hand to Lan Zhi, looking at her with teary eyes.

"Mother doesn't want me anymore, and neither does my sister? I can work. My mother taught me how to cook and do laundry. I eat very little; a leftover is enough for me. Please, sister, don't abandon me..."

Mao Mao's words caused Lan Zhi's tears to fall like beads from a broken string.

Although she felt reluctant to let Nie Yuan drag her along, she still steeled herself and turned her face away.

Her life was already difficult enough; how could she possibly support another person?

Suddenly, Mao Mao opened its mouth and bit Nie Yuan's hand. Nie Yuan yelled "Ah!" and Mao Mao, with its short legs, ran to Lan Zhi and jumped into her arms.

"Sister, don't leave me. He's so mean, I'm scared..."

Nie Yuan looked at the back of his hand that Mao Mao had bitten, walked over angrily, pointed at him, and shouted:

"You little brat, you dare bite me? I'll tear your mouth apart!"

As he spoke, he came over and tried to snatch Mao Mao away. Mao Mao clung tightly to Lan Zhi's legs, pleading incessantly.

"Sister, please don't let me go with him. Mao Mao is obedient, Mao Mao eats very little, Mao Mao can work, and he will repay you when he grows up..."

Lan Zhi suddenly felt a pang of self-loathing. How could she, a human who had transmigrated from the 28th century, be so heartless? How could she be so useless? Could she not even raise a poor child?

Thinking of this, she snatched the bundle from Nie Yuan's hand.

"I will raise this child."
