The Lin family's little boy returns to being eight years old, taking his family to new heights.

I woke up early the next morning to the familiar sound of system rewards.

The first thing Lin Xi did after getting up was to run to the kitchen to check on the water tank.

It's been three or four days since we last used the spinach juice, and based on the family's water consumption, it should be used up by now.

I happened to see my dad filling the water tank, so I pretended to drink some water and secretly added a drop of spinach juice.

Lin Dayuan felt that he was in good spirits these past few days. Even after a busy day, he was not tired when he came back. His parents kept saying that he was feeling better. Although they did not know why, they thought it was a good thing and did not investigate further.

After breakfast, Lin Xi and her father took a car to the city hospital.

Inside the ward, a little boy wearing a Hongmin Middle School uniform was packing things by the bedside.

Lying on the bed was a middle-aged man with a full beard, about the same age as my father, but short and not as tall as him.

"Dayuan, you're here! We've been so grateful to you these past few days. Son, quickly thank your Uncle Lin!"

The slender young man beside him didn't hesitate and bowed directly to Lin Dayuan, saying, "Hello, Uncle. Thank you for taking care of my dad these past few days."

He wanted to take leave to take care of his father, but his father disagreed.

My dad told me that this uncle has been staying here for the past few days, getting him meals and medicine, and running errands for him. He is very grateful to him.

Lin Dayuan quickly waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite," and began to help pack some heavy items.

Lin Xi looked at the man on the hospital bed and greeted him, "Hello, Uncle, my name is Lin Xi."

"Little Xi has grown so much! The last time I saw you, you couldn't even walk yet. Time flies!"

The child looks more like her mother. Da Yuan has really had a tough time; the whole family depends on him alone.

"Haha, Uncle, then we should meet often, otherwise you won't recognize me next time we meet."

Liu Erli affectionately patted Lin Xi's little head, "Good, good, Da Yuan, you've raised your daughter so well, she's cute and clever."

Lin Dayuan was very happy to hear this; his daughter had indeed become much more cheerful recently.

"Uncle, can I talk to my brother for a while?"

The boy beside her put down what he was holding, looked at Lin Xi with a puzzled expression, and said, "It's okay."

He was curious, unsure what the little girl wanted to say to him.

Seeing that there were many people in the ward, Lin Xi pointed to the door and said, "Brother, let's go over there."

The two people left the room.

"Brother, I heard you're in the second year of junior high. I wonder if you still have your old textbooks? If you do, could you lend them to me?"

"Sure, no problem. I've kept them all, from first grade to now. What grade do you want?"

Looking at the little girl in front of him, Liu Yu figured she must be in second or third grade.

"I need the sixth-grade books. If your brother doesn't need his seventh-grade books, you can lend them to me first."

Lin Xi felt that given the system's personality, it would soon make her read junior high school books, so she needed to be prepared.

Liu Yu was somewhat surprised, "What grade are you in now? Can a sixth grader understand this?"

"I'm in third grade, and I've already finished reading the books from fourth and fifth grade."

My goodness! Are Uncle Lin's kids this good? Are elementary school students these days all so competitive?

.......

Lin Xi could tell what he was thinking just by looking at his expression, which is why she specifically called Liu Yu out.

She didn't want to hide her talents, but she also didn't want to show off in front of a lot of people.

"Sister, I give up! Perfect timing, let's go back and get it together in a bit."

"Maybe... you can borrow the one from the second year of junior high too."

Lin Xi expressed her doubts. The boy looked a little dejected and sighed, "The doctor said that even if my dad can stand up, he will need crutches. There are only the two of us in my family. I want to drop out of school to take care of him. Anyway, my grades are just average."

How can you not go to school? Just as she was about to say something, she heard a shout coming from the ward at the end of the corridor.

A crowd had gathered at the entrance, craning their necks to look inside.

Both children were very curious, so they went forward as well.

"I'm telling you! You're the ones who killed my dad! You have to pay me compensation!"

A man shouted excitedly at the doctor, holding a fruit knife in his hand and wearing thick black-rimmed glasses.

The doctor on the other end was getting impatient; he had already been explaining things to the patient for quite some time.

When his father fell ill, he said that surgery was necessary, otherwise his life would be in danger.

But this person firmly disagreed with the surgery, insisting on medication and injections instead, and even called them quacks.

The doctor saw that the old man's condition was somewhat dangerous, so he admitted the patient. His condition had been slowly improving over the past few days, but today, after his son came, he suddenly fell ill after saying something.

The condition deteriorated rapidly, becoming even more serious than before. Previously, surgery was an option, but this time it was too late.

They tried to save the old man for a long time, but they still couldn't save his life.

The old man's son, upon seeing his father pass away, not only failed to properly handle the funeral arrangements but also made a fuss about demanding compensation.

The doctor had no choice but to tell him that the medical and hospital fees would be refunded, but the man still wouldn't let it go.

At this point, he was at his wit's end. This was not their fault; they could not perform surgery on the patient without the family's consent.

"We can't offer any more compensation. The hospital bears no responsibility. If you had agreed to the surgery back then, this wouldn't have happened," the doctor said helplessly, rubbing his forehead.

"Yes, young man, stop harping on the hospital. Let's get your father laid to rest as soon as possible."

"Yes, doctors aren't gods, how can they save every single one of them?"

"It has nothing to do with the doctor. He was yelling at his father when he arrived. I think the old man was angered to death by him."

……

Seeing that he couldn't get compensation and that everyone around him was siding with the hospital, the man's eyes suddenly turned fierce, and he charged at the doctor in a frenzied manner, yelling, "If you don't give me money! You're dead!"

It all happened so fast that by the time everyone reacted, the dagger in the man's hand had already pierced the doctor's shoulder, and bright red blood immediately flowed down.

No one expected him to commit the crime on the spot, and the crowd scattered in all directions.

"Killing, killing..."

"Run! This person is insane..."

Liu Yu was also startled and grabbed Lin Xi, trying to run away.

At that moment, the assailant pulled out a dagger and viciously stabbed it into the doctor's heart. The doctor reacted quickly and desperately held the man's arm with both hands. In an instant, cold sweat poured down his forehead, and his expression was one of pain.

Her injured shoulder was still bleeding profusely; at this rate, she would definitely be no match for the man who was in a mad state.

In a moment of impulsiveness, Lin Xi forcefully broke free from Liu Yu's hand, shouting, "Xiao Yi, give me some spinach!"

"Okay, host. I suggest you also eat King Kong Pork Jerky to enhance your defense."

As she rushed toward the man, she covered her mouth with her hand and found that besides spinach juice, there was a piece of meat in her mouth. She chewed it casually and swallowed it without paying attention to the taste.

She rushed to the man's side, raised her small fist and punched him in the ribs, while pulling the doctor behind her.

The man felt a sharp pain in his ribs, and blood immediately seeped from the corner of his mouth. Looking down, he saw a little girl. His eyes were bloodshot, and he recklessly gripped the dagger and stabbed at the little girl.

Xiao Yi immediately reminded himself in his mind: "Get out of the way!"

Lin Xi didn't move. She had eaten the King Kong pork jerky, so she was sure she wouldn't get hurt. If she dodged, the doctors behind her might not be able to predict what would happen.

As the dagger stabbed, Lin Xi also quickly raised her fist and slammed it into the man's stomach. With a bang, the man fell backward, smashing the hospital bed, and curled up on the ground in pain.

The doctor looked at the strong little girl, his expression filled with emotion; she had saved him!

At this moment, Lin Dayuan rushed over, grabbed his daughter, and carefully examined her from head to toe. After finding no wounds, he patted Lin Xi's back forcefully.

Lin Xi's pork jerky was still within its shelf life, so she didn't feel anything, but seeing her father's eyes red with anger, she pretended to stumble.
