After rebirth, I win people's hearts by being cute

When he got home, the soy milk had already been ground. Without saying a word, he just poured it into the pot and prepared to add water.

Su's mother saw this and stopped him, "Hey, there's no need to add water. We're going to make yuba later."

Shitou had no choice but to light the fire. Looking at Su's mother and Liu Huan busying around, he finally couldn't help but say, "Mom, why don't you hire someone?"

He really couldn't bear to see Huanhuan working so hard for this family at such a young age.

Every time he came back to see her, she wasn't as lively as she was in the village. She always seemed exhausted. Especially after the autumn harvest, he felt that she had lost a lot of weight.

Adults might be used to it, but she is only six years old...

Su's mother was stunned. She didn't think about it that way at all.

"But what if someone learns this?"

"Besides, this is just a small business. Huanhuan and I are enough. In two months, when your father's foot is healed, we will have more people."

"Yeah, Shitou, I think it's good." Liu Huan also showed that she didn't care. If she hired someone, she would have to pay for the work. She didn't want to waste a penny now.

She has to save enough money before the New Year and then start implementing her plan. Being tired is only temporary. Food for the coming year is crucial. After all, there will be no food at this time next year.

It turns out that it’s not good for children to be too tired.

Shitou had a day off that day. In the morning, when he saw that Liu Huan hadn't gotten up yet, he didn't bother her. He went to sell tofu with Su's mother.

When I came back, I saw that she still hadn't gotten up. I thought she was just staying in bed, but when she didn't show up even after the meal was ready, I felt something was wrong.

When I pushed the door open, I saw that little figure curled up in the quilt, his face flushed and looking painful.

His heartbeat slowed down a beat, and he picked her up with trembling hands, "Huanhuan, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that he couldn't wake her up, he put clothes on her with trembling hands: "Don't be afraid, let's go to the clinic." He carried her on his back and ran out.

As Su's mother was walking towards this side, she saw Shitou carrying someone out.

He dropped the chopsticks in his hand in shock, "Huanhuan, Huanhuan, what happened?"

Shitou didn't have time to explain, so he just said, "Mom, you stay at home and take care of Dad. I'll take her to the clinic."

After he ran away with the person on his back, Su's mother quickly helped Su's father onto the bed and chased after him.

I blamed myself and worried all the way.

When I arrived at the clinic, I heard the doctor say, "Why is this girl so weak? This shouldn't happen. She used to be full of energy. Did you abuse her?"

Shitou and Su's mother knew what was wrong with her. She slept later than a dog and woke up earlier than a chicken. How could such a young child not feel weak?

Su's mother felt distressed and blamed herself. She took the medicine to the backyard to boil it. Shi Tou looked at her thin little face with an expressionless face.

She is not as white as before, nor as fat as before. Although she didn't eat well before, she was still plump. Unlike now, she feels weightless even when carried.

Shitou couldn't remember when it started.

It was as if the girl who loved to act coquettishly and get into trouble had grown up overnight, quietly and without him noticing.

Su's mother boiled the medicine and brought it in. She didn't dare to look her son in the eye, and she didn't know why.

Shitou fed Liu Huan spoonful after spoonful of the food, and after a while he said, "Mom, let's hire a worker."

Mother Su nodded with tears in her eyes, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Because there was a lot of work to do at home, Su's mother left without waiting for Liu Huan to wake up.

After she left, Shitou sat by the bed, put Liu Huan's hand on his face, felt the calluses that had appeared at some unknown time, and couldn't help but cry.

When did the child he raised start feeding him?

Liu Huan thought she heard Shi Tou crying in her sleep. She was very anxious but couldn't wake up. She wanted to comfort Shi Tou, but she felt like she was trapped in a vortex.

All he could do was murmur quietly: "Stone...Stone."

Shitou wiped away his tears and placed his hand on her forehead: "I'm here, baby. Shitou is here."

"Baby" is what Liu Huan loved to say when she was a child. At that time, whenever she made Shi Tou angry, she would say "Baby, I know I'm wrong."

Liu Huan finally opened her eyes and felt a headache. She didn't know what was wrong with her. "Shi Tou, where are we?"

Shitou gently lifted her up and held her in his arms: "In the clinic, you have a fever."

Liu Huan said "oh" and seeing his red eyes, he couldn't help wondering: "Why are your eyes red?"

The stone said hoarsely: "Sand has entered"

Liu Huan smacked his lips again, and a smell of Chinese medicine rushed to his nose: "Why does my mouth taste bitter?"

"I just gave him medicine. Here are some candied fruits."

When the doctor saw that she was awake, he told them to go back and said, "Little girl, nothing can be accomplished overnight, including business."

Liu Huan felt embarrassed. The doctor had to visit her home every few days and naturally knew how hard she worked.

The doctor replied, "However, you can hire someone. Your cold dishes are really not enough to sell, and it takes a long time to line up every time you send someone."

Liu Huan felt comforted after hearing this, "Thank you, doctor. I will make a separate portion for you tomorrow."

The doctor was excited. "Okay, I'll prescribe two more doses of medicine for you. Rest for two days. I guarantee the medicine will cure your illness."

Liu Huan felt uncomfortable just thinking about the smell, and waved his hand to refuse: "No, I feel I'm fine now."

Shitou didn't allow her to say more: "Thank you, doctor."

This time she was sick and had recurrent illnesses for several days. When she opened the business again, Shitou brought her a man who looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old and was dressed in rags.

"you are……"

The young man didn't dare to look into her eyes, and stammered, "I was bought by Master Su Yi, and this is the indenture."

When Liu Huan took a look, he saw the words "Death Contract" written in large letters.

Su's mother couldn't read the words, and she looked at the adult man from the side, "Huanhuan, what's written on it?"

"It says here that he has sold himself to my family for life. He will be my family's servant from now on."

When Su's father heard this, he threw the beans away and said, "Nonsense, a farmer's family doesn't need servants, tell him to go back to where he came from."

The young man knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging for mercy: "Please, sir, let me stay. I can do anything, and I eat very little."

Su's mother couldn't bear it, so she helped him up and said, "Son, where are you from? How could you..."

The boy explained that his family was a group of villagers nearby and he was the eldest child in the family. After his mother died, his father remarried, so since there was a stepmother, there was also a stepfather.

The boy was never well fed at home, and his only younger brother was pushed into the water and drowned by his stepmother, while his father covered for him.

He was extremely disappointed with that family and jumped into the river out of despair. It was only after he met Su Yi that the following events happened.

"Madam, I originally wanted to die, but the young master told me that if I died, wouldn't it make my enemies arrogant? I want to live and grow up, and avenge my brother in the future."

Su's mother burst into tears. As a parent, she hated to see children being abused like this.

"Hurry up, kid. Let's talk it over."

Su's father insisted on not agreeing, and Su's mother had no choice, so Liu Huan could only choose a compromise, "Mom, why don't we wait for Shitou to come back and we can discuss it."
