THE USELESS MIRACLE DOCTOR CONSORT IS SPOILED ROTTEN BY THE PRINCE!
Chapter 1326 Chapter 1321 Sold NingningChapter 1326: Chapter 1321: Sold Ningning Chapter 1326: Chapter 1321: Sold Ningning “Whimper… whimper,” Ningning could only sob.
He had parents! And family!
But… he could no longer remember what his parents looked like. It was only the strange uncle in front of him who provided warmth when he was about to close his eyes, allowing him to make noises again.
Ningning instinctively clung to the man’s embrace, no matter what he said to himself, and peacefully fell asleep.
Saint Ruan watched Ningning asleep and chuckled softly, “Little rascal, you’re certainly carefree!”
The one thing that kept him from abandoning the child was his well-behaved nature and obedience.
He had never had a child and had never experienced the feeling of parenthood. Picking up this child on a whim, he just wanted to challenge his medical skills to see if he could save him.
You should know, after drinking two taels of alcohol, when he wandered into that alley, the two men holding the child were already cold corpses!
Upon examination, it was clear they had died of poisoning.
Yet, against all odds, this little rascal was still alive, freezing and whimpering weakly, making his last plea to this world.
A plea for life.
He picked up the child to find he had also been contaminated with some poison, his little face swollen with purple, but to an old man like him, such paltry poison was no challenge. In just two or three days, the child got better.
He turned out to be surprisingly resilient. After half a month’s recovery, his face became rosy, and he was able to cry from hunger and wake him up in the middle of the night.
But truly, the child had put him in a tough spot. Was he, who had led a carefree life for most of his days and was now over seventy, supposed to learn from those in their twenties and become a father for once?
Thinking about looking after the child these past days, cleaning and feeding him, Saint Ruan shuddered all over.
A few days were bearable, but several months, several years, or even more…
The thought kept Saint Ruan tossing and turning at night!
Mainly because, living on his own, eating with the wind and sleeping in the open were fine for him, but how could the child endure such a life?
Therefore, the next day, he found an ordinary family in Huaiyang County and entrusted them with the care of the child. He gave them a bag of gold and said, “This money is enough to raise the child to adulthood. Please do your best to provide him a good life and ensure his safe upbringing. I will come to visit him when I have the time.”
Saint Ruan had never pleaded with anyone in his life, but this time, for the first time, he spoke kindly to this couple, with great patience and attentiveness.
The husband worked at the county magistrate’s office, and the wife stayed at home to raise their children. They already had a son, and Saint Ruan thought that with such a family, the little fellow having a brother to accompany him meant he wouldn’t be too lonely as he grew up.
It was certainly more stable than wandering the world with him.
The couple was stunned upon seeing the whole bag of gold. They were not poor by any means, saving up to ten taels of silver a year, but they had never seen so much gold in their lives!
The woman immediately took the child into her arms and held him as if he were an ancestral treasure, smiling and saying, “No problem, young master, rest assured. Your son is in good hands with us. We’ll make sure to raise him plump and healthy. Once he’s enlightened, we’ll send him to study at the academy in the county. We’ll ensure he learns literature and manners!”
The husband quickly agreed, “Yes, indeed, we will not let the young master down! May I ask the young master’s name, in case we need to bring the child to visit you?”
Saint Ruan raised an eyebrow, “You don’t need to know who I am. I will come to see the child when I have the time. You won’t be able to find me.”
He just looked at Ningning with a sense of reluctance, his little face wrinkling up, his round, dark eyes brimming with tears, as if he would start crying at any moment.
“Sss!”
Saint Ruan rubbed his chest and suddenly felt a bit of pain, terribly reluctant to leave!
But he really didn’t know how to take care of children, he pinched Ningning’s little cheek and said, “Behave yourself, huh, your ‘Father’… pah! Your ‘Grandfather’ is leaving! I’ll come back to see you!”
“Wuwu… Waaah!!!!”
The moment Saint Ruan turned around, Ningning started crying, the cries exceptionally loud, heart-wrenching, as if they could shatter someone’s eardrums.
Saint Ruan covered his ears and ran away.
He did not want to soften his heart again.
The couple, who had been comforting the child quite gently until then, saw him crying for a whole quarter of an hour, his cries still so intense; the woman gradually lost patience and threw Ningning onto the hard bed, “You little bastard, still crying! Still crying! You’re wearing me out!”
She sat beside him, hands on her hips, fanning herself.
Comforting the child had made her break out in a full sweat.
The man also hated the sound of a child’s crying and directly stuffed a cloth strip into Ningning’s mouth.
But remembering the packet of gold Saint Ruan had given them, he quickly took it out again.
Ningning’s cries softened a bit, which allowed him to think more clearly, and he said to his wife, “Wife, this child is our ‘God of Fortune’; we must treat him well. Comfort him some more!”
The woman was highly impatient, “Comfort what! Look at how he cries; who knows what kind of throat he has, our little hoe doesn’t even cry like that, he’s just a motherless and fatherless little bastard!”
As soon as the woman had cursed, Ningning, whose crying had just subsided for a moment, let out a shocking wail again.
“Waaah! Waaah! Waaah!”
He was not a little bastard; he had parents!
Good parents at that!
It’s just that… they seemed to have met with some misfortune and were no longer around.
He definitely had parents!
The man was also annoyed by the crying, but in his arms, he still held the packet of gold Saint Ruan had given him!
He took out the gold, poured it onto the table, and went to find his wife, “Look! All this gold; our family will live better than even Magistrate Liu’s household in the future! I will do some small trade, and then who in the county will not respect us? Tomorrow, I will get you a pair of golden bracelets, let’s see if that widow Wang next door dares to mock us!”
Upon hearing about the golden bracelets, the woman’s eyes lit up with excitement, and she was immediately pleased.
But as soon as she picked up Ningning, who was crying fiercely, she felt an overwhelming sense of irritation, “This child cries way too much! What ‘God of Fortune,’ why don’t we just… sell him!”
“Sell him?” The man shook his hands in objection, “That’s out of the question! Didn’t you hear what the young master said? He will come back to see the child! If we sell him, how will we explain that to people?”
The man thought his wife’s vision was too shortsighted and patiently analyzed for her, “Look at this child, with a well-rounded forehead and handsome features, and then look at that red-clothed young master, his clothes alone are worth a lot, and he’s generous too! He must be from a very wealthy and distinguished family, perhaps a rich family’s illegitimate child. If we take care of him, and every time he comes to see the child he gives us a packet of gold, we will be the wealthy of the county as well!”
