Su Taotao didn't wait for He Zhixin to finish her words, then she twisted her body and called He Zhixin sweetly in a long and milky voice.
The words "Mother" almost made He Zhixin agree.
He Zhixin took a deep breath to avoid being fooled by Su Taotao accidentally.
"No, mother is worried about a person of unknown origin."
"Taotao, dear, when mother is done with this period of time, I will take you to find a maid that you are satisfied with, okay?"
In fact, this matter should have been done long ago, but there are a lot of things going on these days, and He Zhixin also wants to find Su Taotao a maid who knows martial arts to take care of Su Taotao.
Therefore this matter has been delayed.
"Unknown origin?"
Su Taotao blinked and repeated in confusion.
"He is not from unknown origin, he is my junior brother."
Su Taotao finally realized that the reason why her aunt didn't agree with her junior brother's stay was because she didn't know who her junior brother was.
She thought her aunt thought her junior brother was an outsider, so she didn't allow him to stay here.
"Little... little junior brother?"
He Zhixin raised her head and looked at Yang Hongzhi, who had been silent. Although he was still a child, he looked older than Su Taotao.
How could he be Su Taotao's younger brother?
"Mom, look, they are exactly the same. This is what Master gave them."
Su Taotao took out her jade pendant, then ran to Yang Hongzhi, got Yang Hongzhi's jade pendant, and handed it to He Zhixin to see.
He Zhixin took it and saw that it was indeed the same jade pendant.
Moreover, this jade pendant is made of fine jade, and the pattern on it is also very beautiful. It seems that this is not a real beggar, but probably Taotao's younger brother.
"In that case, you should stay here first."
After He Zhixin pondered for a while, she asked Yang Hongzhi to stay.
Since he was an acquaintance, He Zhixin naturally let down his guard.
"Do you have any family members you want to contact? I'll have someone send a message to your family to tell them you are here."
"You are still young, you can't just run around."
After He Zhixin was sure that the little beggar in front of her was someone she could trust, she observed him carefully.
It turned out that although the child was dressed in rags and looked like a beggar, his bearing was not what a beggar should have.
He behaved neither humble nor arrogantly when faced with his own appraisal, his back was straight, and he looked at himself seriously without any timid expression.
"I...I don't have any family anymore."
Hearing He Zhixin's gentle inquiry about his family, Yang Hongzhi suddenly felt sour in his heart, lowered his head with red eyes, and whispered.
"ah?"
He Zhixin blinked, seeming a little confused.
"Mom, my junior brother's family was killed by bad guys, and only my junior brother escaped."
Su Taotao pulled He Zhixin's sleeves and motioned her to squat down.
After He Zhixin squatted down, Su Taotao explained in a low voice beside He Zhixin the whole story.
"So that's it."
Hearing this, He Zhixin did not worry about whether Yang Hongzhi staying at their home would bring danger to the family. Instead, she hugged Yang Hongzhi with a distressed look on her face.
"You have suffered, my child. From now on, you will live here and treat this place as your home."
He Zhixin looked at the boy in front of her who was about the same age as her own child.
At such a young age, his parents were killed by thieves, and he fled for his life alone.
No wonder he makes himself look like a little beggar.
I originally thought that the child ran away from home because of anger with his family.
Now it seems that he probably knew that Su Taotao was here, so he came to seek refuge with Su Taotao. At first, he planned to tell Yang Hongzhi's family so as not to worry Yang Hongzhi's family.
But she didn't expect that the truth of the matter was so cruel.
"lady?"
Yang Hongzhi felt this warm, mother-like embrace. The tension and fear of these days dissipated in an instant, and was replaced by pain and sadness.
Yang Hongzhi hugged He Zhixin and cried silently.
"Don't be afraid, we will protect you."
He Zhixin gently comforted Yang Hongzhi.
I didn't know that the one who killed a thousand swords could actually do such a crazy thing.
A child at such a young age lost his parents and was wandering around. If he hadn't happened to meet Taotao here, he might have had an accident one day.
Yang Hongzhi did not speak, but hugged He Zhixin harder and harder, crying silently.
Su Taotao looked at Yang Hongzhi who was inexplicably sad even though she didn't cry. She tilted her head and thought for a while, then ran to Yang Hongzhi's side and hugged Yang Hongzhi's thigh.
"Don't be afraid, little junior brother, Taotao will help you take revenge."
"With Taotao here, bad guys will not end well."
Looking at Su Taotao, a small dumpling with a milky voice but extraordinarily heroic and confident words, Yang Hongzhi burst into laughter.
"Pfft--"
"you do not believe me?"
Su Taotao looked at Yang Hongzhi with wide eyes, he was going too far!
I kindly said that I would help him get revenge, but he actually laughed at me.
"no."
Yang Hongzhi wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, knelt down and touched Su Taotao's head.
"Thank you."
If he hadn't met Su Taotao today, he wouldn't know what he would have done.
"snort--"
Su Taotao put her hands on her hips and turned her face away. Don't think that because he said this, she didn't know that Yang Hongzhi was laughing at her just now.
Bad junior brother, not good at all.
Yang Hongzhi looked at Su Taotao with a slight smile in his eyes.
In fact, I am still sad and painful after my parents died, but I have been able to control my emotions very well.
Compared with sadness and pain, Yang Hongzhi knew very well that what he should do most at this moment was not to be sad, but to look for opportunities for revenge.
During this period of time, he had experienced many things. Su Taotao's childish comfort and Su Taotao's mother's tenderness allowed him to release the emotions he had been holding back during this period.
He is very grateful to them and feels really lucky to have met them.
He Zhixin felt very sorry for Yang Hongzhi's experience. She asked her servants to clean up Yang Hongzhi's yard and settled Yang Hongzhi before she told Mr. Su about it.
She decided to deal with this matter first and then tell it later.
After all, he was a complete stranger. With only a few words from Su Taotao and a jade pendant, he directly agreed to let Yang Hongzhi stay without even asking his father.
He Zhixin was mentally prepared to be scolded later.
After all, taking in a child whose origins are unknown and who may be being hunted is clearly putting the whole family on a fire pit. If it causes trouble to the family, he has no way to explain it.
Who knew that Mr. Su was not angry after hearing about this incident.
