Chapter 332 One must live for oneself first
Speaking of this, he said helplessly, "But no matter what I give Sister Liu to thank her for, she won't accept it."
She insisted that the fact that her child was able to survive such severe injuries in the mountains must be because God knew that she had helped others in a kind way, so He sent a goddess to save her child's life!
Otherwise, how could a young woman suddenly be wandering in the mountains, where wild animals roam, in the dead of winter...?
Lin Yu'an was indeed not very clear-headed at the time, but he still heard someone whispering a lot of things in his ear, applying medicine to him, putting a fragrant cotton-padded coat on him, and finally carrying him down the mountain.
When he woke up, he told his mother everything, except for one thing: the benefactor sister seemed to still smell of warm meat buns on her body...
However, he thought he was just too hungry and wanted to eat, so he was too embarrassed to say it.
Yang Yu smiled faintly: "If I didn't know that the two masters lived in the mountains, I would almost have believed that it was a deity who saved Lin Yu'an."
The two sisters were embarrassed after hearing this.
"Haha, this is a huge misunderstanding."
Lin Lanshan looked at the girl beside her: "By the way, Ahua, you said you found out about the two of us that day. You didn't tell anyone about it, did you?"
Since Liu Cuijuan didn't know that they had saved Lin Yu'an, they naturally didn't want this person, who was already struggling financially, to have to go to great lengths to repay their kindness.
If people mistakenly believe that she was saved by a deity, then we can skip this step.
Ahua shook her head and said:
"Of course I'm not entirely sure either, so I haven't told anyone. And if it really was Sister Lanshan and Sister Chunyi who saved An'an but didn't show up, it's definitely because you don't want people to know, so there's even less reason for me to tell anyone."
Lin Lanshan reached out and cupped Ahua's face in her hands, rubbing it gently: "My goodness, my little Ahua, how can you be so clever!"
Ahua giggled like a fool after being praised like her brother.
But she secretly encouraged An'an, who blamed herself for being sick and causing her mother worry and hardship: "You have to be good, take your medicine and get better quickly, then help your mother with chores again. If one day the fairy sister suddenly wants to come down and see how you are, she will definitely be very happy to know how good you are."
Hehe, there shouldn't be any problem saying that, right?
At this moment, Yang Yu stared intently at Ahua, while Ashu, who was grinning foolishly, was also staring at Ahua.
So, we're the only outsiders here? They kept such a big thing from us for so long without saying a word!
"Aww~ Sister Lanshan, Yang Yu and my brother's eyes are so scary, are they going to hit me~" Ahua hugged Lin Lanshan's arm and snuggled up to her.
Before Yang Yu and Ashu could react, Lin Lanshan glared at them and said, "What are you doing? Trying to stretch your muscles with me?"
The two immediately stood up straight, waving their hands in a blur: "No! We're innocent!"
Ahua chuckled and stuck her tongue out at the two of them, making a funny face.
The two were deeply shocked. When did such an honest and simple girl become like this... It's so heartbreaking.
"I didn't expect so much to have happened in just a few months." Lin Chunyi stood up and stretched.
Then he said to Yang Yu, "The best thing is that everyone is safe and sound right now."
If Sister Liu really doesn't want to accept anything, and you feel bad about it, then you could occasionally help out with her child, Lin Yu'an. Sister Liu would probably be happy to accept if it makes the child happier.
Although Lin Yu'an is only five years old, I think he's quite filial and sensible. When Ashu isn't busy, he can play with him and become his friend. Ashua, if you'd like, you can teach him a few words in your spare time; it'll be a good way to review and learn new things.”
Ahua and Ashu nodded happily: "We will!"
Lin Lanshan recalled some scenes from her memories with a sense of melancholy:
"Sigh, children from single-parent families who are also poor are often the subject of idle gossip at the dinner table by some mindless adults. Some children overhear this and then imitate it, ganging up to isolate or even bully others..."
The parents of this world have passed away one after another. They have heard many words of pity for them and have seen what it means to be pitied.
They couldn't tell whether the words were well-intentioned or malicious at the time, but no matter how hard they tried, they always felt they were harsh and hurtful...
"When Ahua and I first met An'an, he was even thinner than me, but a chubby boy with two little followers held him down and bullied him."
She even ate candy in front of him, saying it was bought by her father, and deliberately asked An'an why she didn't have any candy, wondering if her father had died! As for this, Ashu's face turned furious.
He absolutely cannot stand hearing people say things like that!
Enraged, he rushed over to punch the fat boy's foul mouth, but Ah Hua stopped him, and he managed to suppress his anger and only cursed a few times before the two of them left with Lin Yu'an.
“I also heard adults laughing and telling their children that he was a fatherless bastard and that they shouldn’t play with him. I was very angry, but I didn’t dare to speak up for him because I was afraid that my brother and I would do something wrong and get into trouble.” Ahua lowered her head, her tone restrained.
Having lost both her parents, she knows all too well how angry and heartbroken she would be if someone said these things to her!
These adults are ridiculous. Do they think their parents will live forever? Once their parents die, will they become illegitimate children?
Even though she was angry, she didn't dare to help Lin Yu'an like her brother did, and even stopped her brother from helping him beat up those children.
Because she knew she and her brother were only staying there temporarily, she was afraid that doing so would cause trouble for Yang Yu and her two older sisters...
Lin Lanshan praised A-Shu and said to him:
"Everyone encounters difficulties at times, and no one is an exception. There will come a day when we need help from others. I always believe that the kindness I show to others will one day be returned to me, as will the malice."
Therefore, it's right for us to help those in need when we have the ability. However, we must act within our means and first consider whether we can ensure the safety of ourselves and our families—that's the most important thing!
Ashu nodded sheepishly, "I was really too impulsive back then, I'll definitely be more careful in the future!"
To Ahua, who was still blaming herself with her head down, she said, "Ahua, don't blame yourself. You can control your emotions when you're angry and still think calmly about the problem. Do you know how amazing that is? I often can't even do that."
So you have to keep this up from now on. You need to keep a close eye on your brother and not let him be too reckless. We should be happy when we save someone; and when we're powerless, we should also try to be more positive. We can be a little selfish, because people are meant to live for themselves first!
Ahua rubbed her eyes, her voice trembling with tears, and said, "Mmm."
Ashu hurriedly comforted her, "Ahua, you were right to stop me! If I had hurt that chubby kid, we might not be able to afford to pay for it even if we sold ourselves."
Ahua burst into laughter through her tears and said, "Brother, it's not as serious as you make it out to be."
If she encounters a similar situation again in the future, she will still first consider whether helping will cause trouble for herself and her family!
Selfish? So what!
People should live for themselves and their families first!
