Remarriage to a Rich Famliy

As soon as Cheng Lena left, Cheng Lydia immediately put down her breakfast and walked inside the fridge to rummage for ingredients that she could make for breakfast.

Cheng Lena bought today’s ingredients from the market early in the morning, but Cheng Lydia can’t do anything else but make dumplings. Good thing there are dumplings inside the fridge and also pork.

Cheng Lena taught her how to make the dumplings so that she wouldn’t be left without food when she couldn’t come back from work. Cheng Lydia has always loved her mother’s dumplings, so it was easy for her to learn how to make them.

Once the dumplings were ready, Cheng Lydia packed them in a thermos and headed out the door in a flash.

It was a hot August day and Cheng Lydia arrived at the hospital with a bead of sweat spread all over her forehead. She apologized to Shen Ron as she placed the thermos on the table, “Brother I’m sorry I’m late.”

Shen Ron leaned over the bed and watched her, not squealing.

Cheng Lydia cupped his left hand on the edge of the bed and asked, “Is your hand better, brother? Does it still hurt?”

Shen Ron shook his head and blandly drew his hand back from her palm.

Cheng Lydia had already gotten used to his indifference and didn’t care, still smiling, “Brother must be hungry, right? I’ve made you fragrant dumplings.”

With that, she took the insulated box out from inside the plastic bag, uncovered the lid and held it up to him like an envious treasure, “Look, it’s still hot.”

Shen Ron didn’t glance at the dumpling, but pulled a piece of Kleenex from the table and handed it to her, saying, “Wipe the sweat off your head.”

“Oh.” Cheng Lydia took the tissues he handed her with one free hand, wiped the grains of sweat off her forehead haphazardly, and picked up the dumplings with her chopsticks, “Here, I’ll feed you.”

“I can eat by myself.” Shen Ron reached out to take the food box out of her hand, but Cheng Lydia ducked to the side, shaking her head in a serious way, “No, the doctor said you can’t move your hands or you’ll tear the wound.”

Even so, Shen Ron felt uncomfortable asking a little girl to feed him.

Only when he didn’t wait to refuse again, Cheng Lydia had already passed the dumplings to his mouth. The aroma of the dumplings came to his nose, his appetite was aroused, and with a slight hesitation, he opened his mouth and took it.

“Is it good?” Cheng Lydia asked impatiently.

Shen Ron nodded, his eyes dropping to look at the dumplings in the insulated box of good color and flavor, a look of appreciation beyond indifference finally creeping across his face, “You made them?”

Cheng Lydia nodded, her showy little face not without triumph, “Mom taught me how to do it.”

“I’ll make it for my brother in the morning if he likes it.” Cheng Lydia added.

Shen Ron gave her a clear smile, “Thank you.”

“Brother smiled yeah.” Cheng Lydia looked at him with an amazed look on her face, “Brother smiles so well, smile a lot from now on.”

Shen Ron’s mouth twitched to collect that smirk.

Cheng Lydia fed him a bite and then said, “Brother you haven’t told me what your name is.”

Shen Ron faded back, “I’m not telling you.”

“Why?”

“No reason, just don’t want to.” He didn’t want to tell anyone what his name was or where his family lived, because he didn’t want to go home and see any of them just yet.

He hadn’t even thought of living through the scarcity, and it was all the fault of the nosy little girl in front of him. Thinking of this, his face was tinted anew with that usual indifference, and he said, “You must not come again to-morrow.”

Cheng Lydia thought he was mad at himself for asking, and with a small curl of her mouth, she said, “Well, I just won’t ask my brother his name.”

“I’m not really your brother, is it appropriate for you to show up here all day?” Shen Ron got a little annoyed and his tone started to get unpleasant.

But Cheng Lydia said in all seriousness, “Because my brother has no family, I want to be my brother’s family, I am afraid that my brother will not be able to think about it again, don’t worry brother, when you are discharged from the hospital, you will come to live in my house, I will talk to convince my mother to accept you.”

Shen Ron looked at her askance, his heart, tormented by anger and emotion, finally transformed into a helpless sigh: “Why are you so difficult, little friend?”

Cheng Lydia saw his face soften and smiled, “Brother, my name is … June, no kids!”

“How come you can’t be called a little kid when you’re so little?”

“I’ll be eleven soon, and mom says I’m a little adult.”

“How old are you, brother?”

“Soon fifteen.”

“Brother is four years older than me.” Cheng Lydia smiled cheekily, “I’m my brother’s little sister, so you have to love me from now on.”

Shen How hard is it for Ron to smile lightly and hurt her? As long as he was alive …

For three days in a row, Cheng Lydia sneaks out at night while her mother is asleep, sneaks back in before dawn, and then makes dumplings to take to the hospital for Shen Ron after her mother leaves for work.

Shen Ron, on the other hand, was young and recovered from his wounds extremely quickly, and his originally depressed mood gradually brightened up under Cheng Lydia’s efforts to cheer him up.

On the fourth day, the hospital announced that Shen Ron was ready to be discharged.

Cheng Lydia decided to talk to her mother about bringing Shen Ron home to live once she got home. Along the way, she thought of countless reasons and excuses, only to have them completely disintegrate the moment she stepped through the door.

Her heart sank when she saw her mother sitting on the living room couch without a word, and then she remembered that she had the day off.

She paused in her steps, and before she could open her mouth to lie that she was just out for her morning jog, Cheng Lena stared at her and asked sternly, “Where have you been?”

“I … went for a run.” Cheng Lydia lied in a rare moment of weakness, her heart making it immediately obvious that it was true.

Without saying a word, Cheng Lena got up and went to the corner and took out a chicken feather duster from it, Cheng Lydia was so frightened that she turned around and ran away, while wailing, “Mom, I was wrong, I’m telling you the truth!”

Cheng Lena chased her to the door and glared at her with anger on her face, “Come in and talk!”

Cheng Lydia knew she couldn’t hide it from her mother, so she coyly walked towards the house, stood in front of Cheng Lena, who had resumed her seat on the couch, and said, “I’m going to the hospital …”

“Did I tell you no go? No meddling in other people’s business?” Cheng Lena looked at her with exasperated disdain.

Cheng Lena, of course, knew that Cheng Lydia had gone to the hospital and that Cheng Lydia, who usually never locked her door to sleep, had locked her door tightly for several nights, and when she went to check if she had been tucked in at midnight several nights in a row, she failed to see because she had locked the door. She did not pay attention at the time and went back to her room to sleep.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Until this morning, she wanted to take advantage of the day off to take her daughter out to play, but who knows knocking on the door for half a day but no answer, as is to find the key to open the door, go inside only to find the house empty.

In order to figure out her daughter’s little secret, she surreptitiously went through her daughter’s drawer, and the hospital payment receipts were pinched in her hand at that moment.

“Mom, that brother is really pathetic, I can’t leave him alone …”

“You tell me, where did the money you gave to the hospital come from?” Cheng Lena flung the receipt, long crumpled into a ball in her hand, at her feet.

Cheng Lydia looked at her angry mother and felt a pang of fear because she knew that if her mother knew that she had borrowed the money from Yang June, she would be even angrier.
