Transmigrated as Cannon Fodder — I Rise to Female Lead Through Hard Work-Chapter 165: Huang Xiaobao’s Transformation

"Hello, are you Liu Guangmei? I’m Yi Roujing, and this is my third brother, Yi Weiliang." Yi Roujing stood outside the door with Yi Weiliang behind her, holding a green net bag filled with goodies, including milk powder, malted milk, and milk candies.

"Hello, hello." Liu Guangmei was certain she had never met them before; otherwise, how could she forget such a beautiful girl?

"You might not know us, but do you know Liu Qinghai from the Wan Tang Production Team?" Yi Roujing asked with a smile.

"Doctor Liu!" Liu Guangmei was startled. Liu Qinghai was a well-known figure in the Wan Tang Production Team; he had a great reputation as a doctor and was a kind-hearted person. Whenever there were minor ailments in the village, people would call him, and he would only charge for the medicine. It was both affordable and effective, and he was also a doctor at a traditional Chinese medicine hospital, so he was highly skilled.

Liu Qinghai had only one daughter, Liu Huilan, who married into the Xintang Production Team. "Are you Doctor Liu’s grandchildren?"

"Yes." Yi Roujing nodded.

Although Liu Guangmei didn’t know why they returned, she immediately invited them inside.

"I’m not sure if Mr. Lou mentioned us, but my third brother owes his life to Liu Guangliang." As soon as Yi Roujing mentioned it, Liu Guangmei understood and looked at them with immense warmth.

"You were the ones who asked the police to help with our Youning, right?" Liu Guangmei expressed her gratitude, her face overflowing with guilt, "As an aunt, I didn’t even know Youning was suffering so much there. Thank you, thank you."

"Aunt, I’ve been corresponding with Liang, so when he went, I would often sneak to see Youning as well. It’s my fault for not realizing sooner. I thought Youning was just quiet because Liang was there, but he was still pure and cheerful, so I didn’t think much of it." Yi Weiliang felt guilty too.

"I don’t want the compensation money. Can you let me take care of Youning?" Yi Weiliang asked hopefully, "I’m now an apprentice in the transportation department of a food factory. I have a salary and ration tickets every month, so I can definitely support Youning."

"I discussed this with my family, and they all agreed. This is my sister, she’s a nurse at the employees’ hospital of the food factory and knows medicine. We can certainly take good care of the child."

Liu Guangmei’s face was full of kindness, "I know, I can see that you genuinely care about Youning. But I also care about that child. We all live in the county, so it’s convenient for you to see the child. You’re always welcome to visit us often."

Yi Weiliang felt a little disappointed but also a bit happy, as it was nice to see Youning often.

Yi Roujing thought for a moment and said, "Mei, we have a house in Huaixi County, it’s spacious enough. My third brother usually stays there. How about you bring Youning and your family over for a meal when you’re free?"

"My in-laws usually live in the Dingping Production Team and come to the county occasionally. Even when they do, there’s enough room to stay. My brother-in-law works at the county government, and my sister-in-law is also at the food factory. My husband is a teacher at the County First Middle School."

"We all have jobs, and I’m sure your family does too, Mei. It’s not easy to take care of Youning full-time." Yi Roujing analyzed.

"When my in-laws visit, they’ll certainly be happy to help, but I think the most important thing is to find a kindergarten for Youning. I’ve discussed it with my husband before, and he’ll keep an eye out for opportunities."

"What I’m thinking is, can we occasionally have Youning stay at our place, just like visiting relatives? What do you think, Mei?" Yi Roujing suggested, and Yi Weiliang’s expression was filled with both guilt and hope.

Liu Guangmei was a bit surprised and couldn’t decide immediately, but what Yi Roujing said lingered in her mind. Yes, they needed to find a kindergarten for Youning. Leaving the child alone at home wouldn’t give them peace of mind.

Moreover, Yi Roujing inviting them over to see things for themselves seemed to be a way to ensure Youning had more people looking out for him, which they hoped for.

"Well, I’ll bring my family over to bother you next time then," Liu Guangmei said politely.

"Number 6, Bright Alley, Mei, that’s our address."

Having confirmed everything, Yi Roujing and Yi Weiliang smiled. After seeing Liu Youning washed up clean and sleeping soundly, they took their leave.

The items they brought were of high value, and milk powder was difficult to come by. But since they said it was for Youning, she couldn’t refuse and had to accept it.

On the way home, Yi Weiliang walked with a joyful bounce in his step, constantly praising and recalling Liu Guangmei’s kindness, "Sister, Mei is genuinely concerned about Youning. You don’t know, I once went to the police station specifically to talk to Lou and was told that Mei had single-handedly taken down the family that mistreated Youning and gave that Lv Amei a good beating. Hearing it was very satisfying."

"When Youning comes to our home, I..."

Yi Weiliang, walking briskly ahead, suddenly stopped at the intersection of the main street and Bright Alley.

"Sister, Anmin is up ahead, but she’s standing with a man. Hey, that guy looks kind of familiar. Do you recognize him?"

As soon as Yi Weiliang mentioned Ding Anmin standing with a man, Yi Roujing rushed forward to take a closer look. Ah, no wonder he seemed familiar; wasn’t that Huang Xiaobao? But his hair was cut shorter, from a slick, shiny, side-parted hairstyle to a buzz cut. I have to say, he looked different, more spirited, and more masculine.

At this moment, Huang Xiaobao was smiling and scratching his head, his face slightly red. Ding Anmin, like a giddy girl, laughed carefreely, occasionally pointing at Huang Xiaobao’s haircut and his outfit.

Indeed, Huang Xiaobao’s style had changed. He had swapped his flashy shirt for a plain white one, wore dark green cargo pants, and green liberation shoes, while holding a bicycle. The whole image gave off a more dashing vibe.

"Anmin," Yi Roujing suddenly jumped out and called loudly. Ding Anmin immediately turned her head.

"Sister-in-law."

Huang Xiaobao then looked up, his smile slightly shy, with a hint of embarrassment.

When Ding Anmin turned, the bicycle’s handle revealed something hanging, a whole dried salted goose.

"Sister-in-law, I’m bothering you again. There’s no one at home today, so I’ve come here for a meal." Huang Xiaobao greeted, triggering a slight raise of Yi Roujing’s eyebrow. This was only his second time coming for a meal, and she had already become his sister-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, Brother Xiaobao brought a salted goose, cut it into pieces and steam it. It will surely be delicious. Or make salted goose with rice, add some fresh greens, and shred some cucumber for a mixed sauce – yum." Ding Anmin couldn’t help but gulp.
