Chapter 211: Chapter 211: He Wants to Live Here

Qin Xiangnuan also served Jian Zhiqing a bowl of rice, then quietly sat to the side to eat.

"Is it enough?" Jian Zhiqin asked, looking at Jian Zhiqing who had eaten half of his meal.

Jian Zhiqin nodded vigorously; how could it not be enough? His stomach felt like a little balloon.

After eating, he wiped his mouth with his sleeve, only to have his hand slapped away by Jian Zhiqing with a smack.

"How many times have I told you not to wipe your nose with your sleeve."

Jian Zhiqin held his head, knowing that he was in the wrong, and didn’t dare to talk back at all.

"Does Mom know you’re here?" Jian Zhiqing asked his little brother, this little rascal, he didn’t come here on his own, did he?

"Yeah, she knows, knows," Jian Zhiqin answered earnestly, "Mom’s been busy at work recently, she gave me money to feed myself."

Jian Zhiqing didn’t ask any further; after all, this little thing didn’t have the gall to lie to him.

"Brother..." Jian Zhiqin tugged at Jian Zhiqing’s sleeve.

"What is it?" Jian Zhiqing squinted his eyes dangerously, his new clothes.

Jian Zhiqin quickly let go of his grip, not daring to touch him again. Although he was young, he could sense that his elder brother’s clothes must be expensive, probably worth more than selling himself.

It must have been picked up from the garbage heap; otherwise, why would his elder brother not care about it?

"Brother..." Jian Zhiqin’s lips pursed, nearly crying, "Can I stay here? It’s so close to my school, and I can eat the food sister makes, is that okay?"

He tried to reach out again, wanting to tug at his sleeve but as soon as he touched his brother, who was more than a decade older than him, and saw those fearsome eyes, he didn’t dare anymore. Not to mention pulling at him, the antics of crying, creating a scene, or rolling around would definitely not work on him. His elder brother would beat him to death.

He held back his tears, pitifully pulling at Qin Xiangnuan’s sleeve.

"Sister, can Linlin stay here, please? Linlin will clean, water the plants, pull out weeds, and wash dishes, I’ll definitely not be naughty or make trouble."

Qin Xiangnuan was taken aback; she really hadn’t considered taking in Jian Zhiqin, but looking again at his pitiful little face, she couldn’t help but be reminded of her own elder brother. When Guo Hua picked her up from the outside, she was about the same age as Jian Zhiqin, and by then, he was already being used by Qin Guohua for hard labor.

Jian Zhiqin was fortunate, loved by his parents, and had such a capable elder brother. Comparing him to her own brother, Xiang Yang, indeed, he wasn’t just raised in a honey pot but rather grew up drinking honey.

She sighed softly, seemingly unable to reject.

This kid was initially here to rely on Jian Zhiqing, and since Jian Zhiqing was living here, naturally, the little devil would be the same. It was just one extra bowl, one pair of chopsticks. How much could a child eat? Moreover, he had to go to school; his schedule was basically the same as Jian Zhiqing’s, so her own routine wouldn’t change. It was just that there was now an extra little devil in the house.

However, during the evening, she felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness.

Jian Zhiqin came over carrying his schoolbag, and in his hands, he was holding another little kid much younger than himself, who looked about three or four years old, constantly running snot, tiny and pitiful. At that moment, he was teary-eyed, and his little mouth was also puckered up, as if he was about to burst into tears.

Qin Xiangnuan hurried over, lifted the little guy up, and pinched his chubby little cheeks. The child was quite beautiful, and the clothes he wore were also nice. So young, he was already wearing little leather shoes; only well-off families would lavish such things on their children.
