Chapter 1003: Yuan Yuan’s Parents (4)
Chen Qingqing looked at her little face that had become much rosier recently and sighed in relief. “That’s good. Anyway, Older Sister Gu will be able to make you better. Don’t waste your energy insisting on trying to remember. Come, sit on the cart and let’s go home.”
She was always very tender towards this little girl.
Although she lacked parental love from a young age, she could at least depend on her older brother. But Yuan Yuan had not only been kidnapped and sold, but she had also been so badly injured that she did not remember anything.
Chen Qingqing remembered that when they first met Zhong Bingyuan, the girl’s face was round and adorably chubby. But after her injury, she had lost a lot of blood, and they could not afford to buy good food to improve her health. As the years dragged on, she grew paler and thinner. Her heart ached whenever she looked at the girl.
Fortunately, they had met Gu Qingyao recently and made some money. Zhong Bingyuan’s little face was visibly growing chubby.
Chen Qingqing helped Zhong Bingyuan onto the cart. Chen Feng pulled the cart and Chen Qingqing pushed it from behind.
They did not know that soon after they left, at a fish and pickles restaurant nearby, Zhong Guangping was helping a thin and frail Zheng Lin out of the door. He smiled and said, “Look at you! You still love spicy food. Really, you always look so gentle and frail, but you can really tolerate spiciness!
“Your health isn’t too good now, and you already agreed not to eat too much, but you still stuffed yourself.”
Zheng Lin blushed slightly. She had been sweating from the spicy food, and her face was slightly flushed. Now she had turned even redder.
“I didn’t do it on purpose! I haven’t had such a satisfying meal for so long I couldn’t help myself!”
Zhong Guangping smiled. He had not seen his wife like that for a long time. She was finally livelier!
“If you like such food, then you should take care of your health. Then I won’t stop you even if you want to eat here every day.”
Zheng Lin glanced at him. “Guangping, aren’t you going back to work?”
Zhong Guangping said, “No. Since I’ve been transferred to the capital, we’ll just stay in the capital in the future.”
The Zhong family was originally from the capital. He had been working in other places because his job transferred him there. He had accumulated sufficient experience in other places. Now it was natural for him to return to the capital.
Zheng Lin was rather anxious. “Then… what about our Yuan Yuan? Yuan Yuan went missing there. What if she goes home and can’t find us?”
Zhong Guangping patted her hand and consoled her. “Don’t worry. Yuan Yuan had spent more time in the capital since she was young. Her grandparents are here! Besides, our colleagues and neighbors are still there. If Yuan Yuan makes her way back, we will certainly hear about it.
“I’ve already asked the people there to tell us if they have news of Yuan Yuan.”
Zheng Lin nodded. Her daughter had become a sore point for her. Every day, she hoped that her daughter would return soon.

Meanwhile, Chen Qingqing brought Zhong Bingyuan home while Chen Feng immediately attended to stall matters. There were a lot of dirty bowls they had brought back to wash.
Chen Qingqing told Zhong Bingyuan to go and rest while she worked with her older brother.
Zhong Bingyuan sat on the bed. Actually, her head had only ached for a short while. Whenever she thought about her past, her head would ache so she would stop and naturally, the ache would go away.
Now she sat on the bed and looked at her brother and sister working so hard in the courtyard. She wanted to help, but in her state, she knew her sister probably would not allow her to work.
