《Return To The Past: I Won't Choose Humility This Time!》Chapter 35: Jing Yu's Salvation
Advertisement
At that thought, Yun Xi suddenly sat up from the bed. She had to be the savior before Yun Lian made it.
"Mom, I'm not eating too. You and Brother can eat."
Yun Xi directly pulled down the black cloth bag from the doorknob and walked out of the room in a hurry. Her eyes were filled with excitement.
"Sigh, you kid..."
Yun Xi did not hear what Chen Li said after that. She walked out of the Yun residence's gate. Before she left, she deliberately looked around her eldest uncle's family's room. Yun Lian was squatting beside the stove and lighting a fire.
According to the route in Yun Xi's memory, she needed to go around the small lake behind the house and headed east until she reached the most dilapidated house.
"Knock, knock..."
Thinking that Jing Yu did not know her in this life, Yun Xi knocked on the door patiently and politely.
"Brother, someone is here."
Jing Ning was the first to hear the knocking, but she hid behind Jing Yu reflexively.
"Brother, is someone coming to ask for our debt again?"
"Sister, don't be afraid. I'll go take a look first. You stay in the house and take care of Mom."
Jing Yu's legs were trembling, which indicated the fear of a teenager. However, ever since his father passed away, he had assumed the identity of the only man in the family. He secretly swore in his heart that he would carry the heavy burden of this family and take good care of his mother and sister.
"Who are you!"
"I'm here to deliver medicine to your mother."
Jing Yu heard a sweet voice from outside the door. It was probably a young girl, who came to deliver medicine to her mother. Jing Yu opened the door even though doubt flashed through his mind.

"How did you know that my mother... was sick. Why are you delivering medicine to my mother?
Yun Xi's slender index finger rested on Jing Yu's soft lips, stopping him from saying what he was about to say.
Yun Xi did not want to listen to the teenager's questions anymore. She had thought about it all the way here. It would be strange no matter how she explained it. If she told a lie, she would have to use countless lies to make up for it. The best way was not to say it.
"Just think of me as a fairy who is here to save all living things."
Yun Xi and Jing Yu entered the room. Jing Ning held a small broom in front of her chest, her big eyes filled with vigilance.
"Little girl, don't worry. I won't hurt you."
Yun Xi patted Jing Ning's head. With a flip of her hand, she placed a piece of chocolate in Jing Ning's palm.
Giving a child some snacks would decrease their vigilance. Yun Xi wanted to use the same trick to bribe Jing Yu, but she was rejected.
Jing Yu did not take the chocolate from Yun Xi's hand.
"You don't have to treat me like a child. I'm already 16 years old. I'm not a child anymore."
Although Jing Yu was thin and small, he was only two years younger than Yun Xi. Due to chronic malnutrition, the 16-year-old boy was barely as tall as Yun Xi.
Seeing that Jing Yu did not want it, Yun Xi did not force him either. After all, a boy's dignity was much more important than his appetite. Boys like Jing Yu, in particular, valued self-esteem and pride more than anything else.
Yun Xi thought she should get down to business first.

She pretended to check Jing Yu's mother's pulse. Jing Yu's mother was ill as she did not have proper healing after giving birth, which resulted in a deficit in her body. She had been neglecting her health for many years. Her condition was dragged on day after day. In the end, it became serious.
Yun Xi reached into her black cloth bag. In reality, she was going to the [Space] to get some tonics. She first took out a piece of Ginseng. She asked Jing Yu to put it in his mother's mouth to replenish her qi and blood.
Jing Yu had heard about Ginseng even though he had never tried it himself.
He could recognize that the thing that Yun Xi took out was Ginseng, which was a costly medicinal ingredient.
He had always had his own opinions when doing things. However, when Yun Xi asked him to put the Ginseng into his mother's mouth, he did it without any thought. The kind of trust he had in Yun Xi surprised himself too.
Then, Yun Xi took out some other pills and handed them to Jing Yu. She informed him of the usage and dosage of each pill.
Finally, she took out a bag of rice from the food section. Only when they ate well and paired the rice with the medicinal herbs could they achieve the effect intended.
"Thank you, thank you..."
Before he could thank her again, there was another knock on the door.
Jing Ning shrank back.
"Brother, could it be a debt collector coming this time?"
"Is anyone there?"
It was a crisp female voice. Jing Yu and Jing Ning looked at each other in confusion.
The siblings might not know who was outside the door, but Yun Xi knew.
The person outside the door was her half-sister, Yun Lian!
