Chapter 252 Interest Choice
Bai was so frightened that she raised her hand and slapped Gu Rui on the back, scolding angrily: "You damn girl, you still dare to smash the bowl. Does your skin itch? I'll loosen it for you!"

Bai Shi reached out to twist Gu Rui's arm again.

Every stroke was hard.

Gu Rui groaned, covering her arms, tears falling down her cheeks, biting her lips, and did not cry at all.

He is just a seven-year-old child, and the way he is holding back makes everyone feel distressed.

Lin Ling quickly glanced at Gu Yunting.

Gu Yunting received the hint and immediately reached out and grabbed Bai's hand, and then pulled Gu Rui to Lin Ling's side.

Lin Ling quickly hugged the person, but the moment she touched him, Gu Rui snorted.

Strangely, she didn't use too much force. Could it be possible... She lifted Gu Rui's sleeves, revealing half of her black arm, which was covered in scars.

New injuries were piled on top of old ones. The most serious one was a scar across the arm. But looking at it now, I know that the wound was deep enough to show the bone. Without proper treatment, the scar proliferated, leaving an extremely ugly centipede.

There are also smaller scars and bruises...

Lin Ling felt distressed when she saw it, and it was hard to imagine what this child had gone through before.

"Rui'er is still young, how can you do it?"

It was obviously man-made, and Gu Yunting couldn't help but frown and question.

Sister-in-law Gu's face instantly turned red and she stood up guiltily. She moved too quickly. She quickly held her stomach and endured the pain and said, "She hurt herself. Don't think about it. This child is not obedient and will not be beaten until she is beaten." I know I'm wrong." As she said this, she winked at Gu Rui and signaled her to come over quickly.

Gu Rui shrank and lowered her head.

"help me."

ah? Lin Ling lowered her head to look at Gu Rui. Her voice was as quiet as a blood-sucking mosquito buzzing nearby, making it impossible to hear clearly.

She was meant to be saved.

"There is no wage, but we can pay you a little more for the goods we purchase later."

During this period, although it rained, the food harvest was not so fast after planting, but the price was cheaper. Bai could earn more than 500 yuan a month by selling some rice and noodles, and he didn't have to work every day. Go, if you get a little more, you can earn an extra hundred and eighty cents.

In addition, there is one less person to eat and drink, and a sum of money is saved. With this little money, I can hire someone to do the work, up to 20 cents. Not to mention the hassle-free work, and by the way, I can also save a fortune in medical expenses.

After thinking about it in her mind, Bai Shi nodded: "Okay, take her with you. If she doesn't worry, she can't send her back."

Gu Rui's eyes darkened and she tightened Lin Ling's sleeves.

"Mom, Rui'er..." Before Mrs. Gu could finish her words, Mrs. Bai glared at her and shut up.

Lin Ling watched silently and nodded: "Okay, that's it. You eat, and we go back."

This big pot of stew tastes really average and unappetizing.

Logically speaking, the Bai family should be rich now, and they still used this to entertain Lin Ling and the two, which obviously did not take them seriously.

Go out and return home.

Lin Ling got into the kitchen.

Gu Yunting came to help and started cooking porridge again.

But there is half a chicken in the porridge.

An hour later, the hot chicken porridge was served.

Lin Ling peeled off the chicken legs and put them in Gu Rui's bowl: "Eat more meat and replenish your body."

The malnutrition is visibly visible and must be treated slowly, otherwise the child will not live to be ten years old.

Gu Rui was holding the bowl, which was a bit hot to her hands, but she had no intention of putting it down. She stared straight at the chicken drumsticks, tears falling again.

"Eat quickly and don't think about anything."

Lin Ling was hungry and ate big mouthfuls. Gu Yunting was also hungry. He couldn't fill his stomach with porridge alone, so he had put the cakes in the stove to cook in advance. When he took them out now, they were hot and fragrant.

He tore half of it and divided the rest between Lin Ling and Gu Rui.

Gu Rui had forgotten the last time she had a full meal. With tears in her eyes after eating, she wiped her tears and sniffed: "Thank you, aunt."

"You're welcome."

Lin Ling smiled without any surprise.

The child could speak originally, but then he stopped speaking. There was no trauma, he just didn’t want to speak anymore.

At this time, the Bai family.

Sister-in-law Gu put away the dishes and chopsticks with a full belly. When she saw her mother muttering something in the main room, she thought about it and walked in.

"Go and bring Ruirui back? She's not here, so I have to do all the work at home."

Mrs. Bai glanced at her: "I was about to give birth before, and I could still work in the fields. Don't be pretentious. Besides, the doctor said that Rui Yatou was seriously ill. She might die one day, so why not?" It's better to follow the third daughter-in-law, she might still be alive. If you want her to die, go and pick her up yourself."

Anyway, don't affect her making money.

It was for this reason that Sister-in-law Gu didn't answer the call just now, but when she thought that her child was really going to leave her, she couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

But it hurt, so I could only fall asleep and cry a few times under the quilt.

Early the next morning, she took the clothes she had made for Ruirui overnight and went to Lin Ling's house. The door was locked, and after asking someone, she found out that he was at the well.

She rushed over again and heard someone arguing in the distance.

"Ten cents a bucket?"

"It's so expensive. Can't it be free like yesterday? We are all from the same village and don't have much money."

The speaker's voice was not loud and he did not have the confidence to speak.

"It's so shameless. The medicinal materials can be sold for money. Will you share it with Lin Ling?"

"That's right, it's so expensive. I asked other people, and they said they wanted to kill this bug completely. It doesn't take less than a hundred pennies, but it only costs ten pennies. Just laugh."

"Don't hold the seat if you don't want it, let us line up."

Most of them lined up and started taking money to buy medicine.

A small number of people saw that the medicine was getting less and less, and they hurriedly queued up.

After two hours of busy work, the medicine barrel bottomed out and the people dispersed, making Mrs. Gu standing there alone particularly eye-catching.

Sister-in-law Gu was carrying the bucket and kept looking at Gu Rui, but for a long time, her daughter didn't even look at her. It really hurt more than someone cutting her own flesh with a knife.

"Ruirui, mother knows that mother gave birth to you and made you suffer. Mother is sorry for you. This, this thing is just a little bit of mother's wishes. When mother is capable in the future, mother will take you back."

She handed over a small bundle: "My third daughter-in-law, as a mother, I can't help her with anything, so I'll leave it to you to take care of her."

"Do not worry."

Lin Ling hugged Gu Rui and saw that she really didn't want to respond and didn't force her to do anything. She then said, "Then let's leave first. We're still on our way."

"Okay, be careful on the road."

Sister-in-law Gu stood there, watching the two horses disappear from sight, and then turned back home in despair.

Lin Ling and Gu Yunting were already on the way.

The horse was jolting, and Gu Rui was scared at first, but after slowly getting used to it, she reached out and touched the horse's back. The rough hair was a bit irritating, but this feeling was so freeing.

"Aunt, can you go faster?" She looked at the birds flying in the sky with hope in her eyes.

Lin Ling clamped down on the horse's belly, speeding up instantly.

Gu Yunting followed unhurriedly to protect them.
