"hubby, did you buy this?"

"Yes, it is for the villagers. Lei Ke has already reported the situation of the village to me. This time, your husband will help my wife no matter what."

Sun Chun said, as he habitually held onto Xia Li's hand, and spoke to the rest.

"Everyone, my wife has come to see all of you today, and even accepted everyone's gifts. As her hubby, I also want to thank everyone on behalf of my wife. This food will be my wife's thanks."

Sun Chun said as he looked at the workers around him. Some of them had already sent out the rice, vegetables and meat.

"Thank you Young Master, thank you Madam!" Although the gazes of the people in the buddhist hall were firmly fixated on the grains, no one came forward to snatch them, as they stood there obediently in their original positions, waiting for their distribution, and continuously kowtowed to and thanked Xia Li.

"Everyone is too polite, I even received your presents! This is what you deserve! "

Xia Li walked over and helped the Uncle Fu distribute the food one by one. When the servants saw that the Mistress had already started distributing the food herself, they became even more energetic and passionately called for the people who came to get the food.

The Uncle Fu stood in a corner and watched as everyone was distributed the food. At the same time, he was so excited that he started crying again, their village had met with Xia Li and Sun Chun, the two benevolent people, and they could live a good life in the future.

Everyone went up to receive their food. An old lady hid in the corner and looked at Xia Li passionately, but continued to sit there without moving. Xia Li felt that it was strange, he picked up the shared food in his hands and after taking a few steps, he placed it in her hands.

Xia Li wanted to say more, but the moment the old lady moved her hands, a corner of the skirt that she was wearing was lifted, revealing two empty pants legs underneath. Both her legs were empty from the knees down, and her pants were swinging back and forth.

As if she had felt Xia Li's gaze, the old woman became embarrassed and bashful. She pulled up her skirt and covered her pants, but Xia Li didn't say anything as he held the old woman in his arms.

When the surrounding people saw Xia Li's actions, they all stopped what they were doing and revealed looks of praise.

"Grandma, where are your family?" When Xia Li asked what the old lady had said, a few women, who were already envious, started to cry loudly, tears flowing down their cheeks. Xia Li panicked, not knowing what he had said wrongly.

"Madam, this Grandma Qian's husband passed away early, and her son was taken away to join the army. She fled here from her hometown, where she picked medicine from the mountain, broke her leg, and mistakenly ate some poisonous grass. Her voice is hoarse from the poison, and she is unable to speak." The Uncle Fu explained on the side.

"Then who will take care of this Grandma Qian now?" Xia Li asked worriedly.

"Grandma Qian is currently living in the Hu family. The Hu family is also an enthusiastic woman." The Uncle Fu said, and called a reserved woman who was standing in the corner of the buddhist hall.

Xia Li looked over, and unconsciously cried out: "So this Hu family is the mother of the child who just gave me a wreath!"

"Yes, ma'am, do you think this is fate?" Uncle Fu sighed and said.

"This humble woman pays her respects to Madam." Madam Qian walked over to Xia Li and knelt down.

"Get up." Xia Li immediately pulled Madam Qian who was in front of him along, "You are a kind person, willing to take care of the poor and helpless Grandma Qian."

"Uncle Fu, distribute one portion of food to the Hu family in a while." Xia Li instructed the Uncle Fu.

"No problem, ma'am." As Uncle Fu spoke, he ran over to the shop assistant and brought an extra portion of food over to the Hu's hands.

"This?" Hu Shi hesitated for a moment and didn't dare to reach out to take it.

"The reason I gave you these grains was to thank you for your kindness. In the future, I still need to take care of the Hu family. Are you willing?" Xia Li asked softly.

"We, mother and daughter, also fled to this village from other places. Before Grandma Qian's body had any problems, she took in us, mother and daughter, but who would've thought that she would eat poisonous grasses and fall off the cliff. We can't abandon Grandma Qian, this is what we, mother and daughter, should do." Hu Shi knelt on the ground with his head lowered and said word by word.

"Then I will continue to trouble you in the future, but I really like your daughter. Can you let her stay by my side? I just happened to lack a clever little girl by my side. "

Xia Li said as he lovingly touched the little girl beside Hu Shi.

The little girl's big watery eyes looked at Xia Li, tilted her head, and did not recognize him at all. She walked over and grabbed onto Xia Li's hand, "Madam, do you really want to take me in?"

"Yeah, do you want to stay by my side in the future? "Maybe you won't be able to see your mother in the future. Are you willing?" Xia Li pulled the little girl's hand and intentionally asked.

"That's fine, then mother won't have to work so hard in the future. She often starves and leaves food for me and Grandma Qian to eat. I don't want mother to be hungry."

As the little girl spoke, her gaze unconsciously followed the Hu family.

Hu Shi's eyes were a little red. She turned her head away from the little girl, but her hands were still trembling uncontrollably.

Xia Li's heart ached for the sensible girl in front of him, and he pulled her hand and asked: "What's your name?"

"In reply to Madam, this little girl doesn't have a name. This servant usually calls her 'little girl'." Hu Shi's voice was a little hoarse, she choked on her words, suppressing the unwillingness in her heart, she knelt in front of Xia Li.

"Since Madam likes this child, then she will be Madame's little girl from now on. Madam, please give her a name."

"Then let's call it 'Ya Ya', with your mother's surname, Hu Ya." Xia Li said as he pulled her into his embrace.

"Then, in the future, this girl will be handed over to Madam. This humble woman will focus on taking care of Grandma Qian from now on, and earn money to support us two." After Hu Clan finished speaking, they directly kneeled in front of Xia Li.

"Hurry up and get up. I only like this little girl. In the future, I will still frequently return to your side. I won't monopolize her."

Xia Li really understood why his daughter was so pampered, and did his best to calm the Hu Family down.

"Thank you Madam." After Madam Qian finished speaking, he stood up from the ground.

"Mother!" Xia Li let go of Hu Ya, and the little girl in his arms immediately rushed into the Hu's embrace, crying sorrowfully.

Xia Li looked at the sad mother and daughter in front of him, and turned to look at Sun Chun who had always been following behind her, leaning on his side and asking.

"Looking at my appearance, is it considered taking apart the mother and daughter? Isn't it bad?!"

"You could also be considered to have helped the Hu family. With her ability as a woman, she has been bearing the burden of having two mouths. The pressure can be imagined."

The tears in front of his eyes did not move Sun Chun, he only believed that the stronger he was, the more likely he would be able to protect his family's safety.

"I understand what you mean, but I do like this girl."

Xia Li looked at Hu Ya and Hu Shi who were hugging each other tightly. Actually, he also felt that it was strange, why would she like the little girl in front of her so much, she just wanted to keep this clever and kind child by her side to ease the Hu Clan's pressure and make it more lively beside her.

"Think of something. You did well today." Sun Chun didn't want Xia Li to become overly worried just because of a little girl, and let his headaches recur. Right now, he cherished Xia Li as if he was taking care of a baby.

This was one of the few women in his life who loved him wholeheartedly. There were no tricks or plots, and they were all useless to him. He was willing to give up everything he had to protect her.

"Uncle Fu, this is a Buddhist Hall, it is not suitable for people to enter. Please distribute the remaining food and vegetables to the families that did not come, let everyone have food."

Leaving Sun Chun's embrace, Xia Li instructed the Uncle Fu beside him.

"Uncle Fu, did you distribute food to your family members?" Xia Li suddenly remembered, Uncle Fu who had worked hard for half a day asked.

"Not yet, young madam. As long as everyone in the village gets their share of the food, it's not that important whether Old Fu can get it or not."

Uncle Fu stood at the side with a satisfied smile.

"There is not enough food left, you can go back and buy more. Uncle Fu, you don't need to worry." After Xia Li finished speaking, he took out a small bag from the shop assistant's small supply of food and stuffed it into Uncle Fu's hands.

Uncle Fu wanted to say more, but when he saw Xia Li's resolute expression, he still accepted the food.

After sending off the food, vegetables, and meat, Xia Li and Sun Chun bid farewell to the crowd. Hu Ya sensibly followed beside Xia Li and held Xia Li's hand, tears continued to pour down from his eyes.

Xia Li became soft on the inside and pulled Hu Ya's hand, "Little girl, you should return to your mother's side. You're still young."

"Madam, please let me stay by your side." The little girl did not understand much, she only wanted to relieve the Hu family's pressure, but she felt that if she walked all the way to Xia Li's side, she was worried that she would be kicked out, and said that again.

"Madam, Yayi knows how to chop firewood and cook. Her hands and feet are also very nimble. Please accept me."

Hu Ya kneeled in front of Xia Li and begged again.

"Alright then, ya, come with me!"

Xia Li nodded to Hu Shi, then left the buddhist hall with Hu Ya and headed outside.

The little girl followed beside Xia Li. She couldn't help but look at Hu Shi a few more times, bit her lips, and was about to cry.

Sun Chun secretly observed the scene in front of him and had a strange feeling in his heart. So Xia Li liked children so much!

Xia Li didn't think at all that his unintentional actions would slowly become a goal of Sun Chun's hard work. He also really wanted to have a child with Xia Li;

When Xia Li returned to the small courtyard, she felt that her legs were about to break. It had been a long time since she was this tired, so she handed Hu Ya over to Ru Shuang to arrange for him.

— —

When Xia Li woke up, he immediately saw Sun Chun sleeping quietly beside him.

The sky gradually darkened, and stars filled the entire sky. The full moon hung high up in the sky, and outside the window, the sound of frogs and night insects could be heard. Xia Li was unable to sleep, so he went around Sun Chun and entered the courtyard, staring at the night sky in a daze.
