Wang Baoyu was stunned and walked in with the little girl. The dark walls made the room look very dark and could smell the dust. Two large pots covered with a gaped pot lid, a large water tank full of one and a small bag of grain piled in the corner of the wall seemed to be the whole family's belongings.

On the kang in the west room, a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl with a red face and was lying on a torn quilt. When she saw Wang Baoyu coming in, she was surprised at first, and then smiled and said, "Big brother is here, I know you."

Wang Baoyu also knew this girl, Wei Dongni, the eldest daughter of Wei Youcai. Wang Baoyu put the things on the earthen kang and said with a smile: "Dongni, why haven't you got up yet? Are you lazy again?"

Dongni smiled shyly. She looked at the water tank and ordered the little girl just now, "Sister, I'm thirsty, you can drink water for me." The little girl obediently ran to the edge of the tank, picked up the ladle and tiptoed to reach it. As a result, the water level was too low and she couldn't reach it. She had to run to the yard and move a stone, step on it and scoop the water staggeringly.

Wei Youcai was so lazy that he didn't even know how to fill the water. Wang Baoyu walked over and carried the little girl off the stone, and persuaded him: "It's better for the eldest brother to come, be careful to fall." After that, he bent down and filled the water. This guy had a thin layer of ice on the water indoors. Is there any way to drink it?

Wei Dongni probably saw Wang Baoyu’s thoughts and said, “It’s okay, I often drink it.” As he said that, he struggled to remember, but he was breathing heavily, with beans of sweat on his face. He finally lay down and gasped heavily. Wang Baoyu felt something was wrong, so he touched Wei Dongni’s forehead on his face, which was hot and hot, and he was having a fever.

"Donnie, are you sick? Don't move." Wang Baoyu asked with concern.

Wei Dongni nodded, looked at Wang Baoyu with her big black eyes, and said, "Big brother, I feel so cold! My throat hurts, I just want to drink water."

"Dad is going to see a doctor?" Wang Baoyu asked, taking out the canned fruits and trying to open them to give Wei Dongni a few bites. The juice inside was a little stronger than the ice water in the jar.

At this moment, Wei Dongni nodded, but said something that made Wang Baoyu feel extremely sad.

"Big brother, I don't eat it. Can I leave the canned food for my sister? My parents have never eaten it." Wei Dongni said in a low voice.

"Donnie, be good, you eat first, my sister is there." Wang Baoyu said.

Wei Dongni shook her head and said, "Thank you, brother, this thing is too expensive. Can it be refunded? Dad will have to pay for the doctor to prescribe medicine, and there is not much money at home."

Wang Baoyu felt that his eyes were a little wet. What a sensible child, but he had to live such a poor life. It was really unfair that children from families like Gong Xiangjun beat their fathers and scolded them all day long, but they were full and dressed warmly.

Wang Baoyu said: "Donnie, Brother Qian has some treatment, you can take it first!"

Wang Baoyu rummaged through the kitchen for a long time before finding a dusty spoon. He fed the canned fruits to Wei Dongni. The canned food seemed very appetizing. Wei Dongni ate half a bottle in one breath, and she became much more energetic. She barely sat up against the wall.

The little girl was lying on the edge of the kang and staring at her. Wang Baoyu handed her the remaining canned food. The little girl happily took the can and started eating it. While eating, she asked, "It's so delicious. Big brother, how much money do you make a year?"

Wang Baoyu was so happy that the little guy knew a lot, so he teased her and said, "Brother doesn't make money."

Oh! The little girl seemed very surprised and continued to ask, "This is not OK. How can I live without money?" The little girl's tone looked like an adult. She probably learned it after hearing her mother's nagging a lot.

Wang Baoyu smiled without answering, and turned around and asked Dongni, "Donnie, how long have you been sick?"

"It's been about a month?" Wei Dongni said.

"Did you keep having a fever?" Wang Baoyu asked again in surprise.

"Well! I've been low in fever, but I don't know why, it's serious today." Wei Dongni's expression seemed helpless.

At this moment, the puppy outside barked again, and then Wei Youcai and an old doctor in the village walked in. The old doctor's surname was Liu, and he was the only barefoot doctor in the village.

When Wei Youcai saw Wang Baoyu sitting on the kang, he first showed a panic expression, then forced a smile and said, "Director Wang is here. Look at the only things at home, you can take whatever you want, right?"

"Big brother is a good person and has brought a lot of things." Wei Dongni whispered.

"They are not good people. If they weren't fined, would the family be so poor?" Wei Youcai muttered dissatisfied.

Wang Baoyu ignored him and asked the old doctor who was checking Wei Dongni's condition: "Doctor Liu, how about Dongni?"

Dr. Liu stepped forward and touched Dongni's forehead, looked at her tongue and throat, shook her head, and said helplessly: "I can't cure it, it seems to be tuberculosis."

When Wei Youcai heard this, his face changed drastically. He took out his pocket from his innermost pocket for a long time, took out the wrinkled ten yuan, and begged: "Doctor Liu, you prescribe some medicine for Dongni first. If you need money, I will borrow it."

Dr. Liu said: "It's not a problem of money to have money. The child's illness is in our small village. If he wants to be delayed, he must go to a large hospital immediately."

When Wei Dongni heard this, she showed a desolate smile on her face, and she gasped and said, "Don't treat it anymore, I'm fine, I'll be fine, I'll get better after a few days of coughing."

"It's okay, Dr. Liu, as long as the child has a fever, it's okay." Wei Youcai said.

When Wang Baoyu heard this, he became angry and shouted at Wei Youcai: "Wei Youcai, how could you be a father like this? The child is very ill and must be cured."

Wei Youcai squatted down with his head in his arms, kept beating his head, and said, "How much is the money to cure the disease! These are all mortal diseases! How much is the end? I sold the house and the land is not enough!"

"Damn it, get out of here!" Wang Baoyu roared at Wei Youcai, and Wei Dongni was picked up by the person who was led and walked outside the house.

"Director Wang, what are you going to do?" Wei Youcai stood up and said afterwards.

"Treat the child." Wang Baoyu said coldly.

"Big brother, no, I'm fine." Wei Dongni leaned into Wang Baoyu's arms and whispered, after saying that, she had another violent cough.

"Tongni, don't be afraid. With the elder brother here, I will definitely cure your illness." Wang Baoyu comforted Wei Dongni.

"Hey, why are there people fighting in front of you?" Dongni asked weakly.

Wang Baoyu looked around and didn't see anyone. It was bad, he must have had an illusion. Wang Baoyu was anxious and walked faster.

"Big brother, I just had a dream. A god came from the sky and wanted to take me away. He said that it was not cold at all." Wei Dongni said.
