Chapter 1391
Wang Baogen led us into the house, and I froze as soon as we entered. In a house of some twenty square metres, seven or eight children and a thin woman were sitting around a coal stove on which something was being cooked in a pot.
The light from the fifteen-watt white woven lamp was so dim that I could barely make out what was in the pot, which appeared to be a pot full of green cabbage accompanied by a few slices of fatty meat, cooked over the fire.
When the children saw someone coming, they all stood up in unison and then consciously stood by the wall, giving way.
Wang Baogen should have been used to it and looked at the children and said a few words about the square, which I didn’t understand, and then sat down by the fire and leaned his hands against it to keep warm, his big feet leaning against the fire path, which invariably took up most of the fire.
The man gave the woman a look, and then the woman stood up, looked at me, and with some constraint said squarely, “You come and sit at this point and warm up the fire.”
I looked at her and hurriedly said no, but she got up directly, looked at several children and said a few words, several black children squatted on the other side of the small wooden table, then the woman used a porcelain bowl with several mouths cut to serve some dishes from the pot and put them in the middle of the table, several children looked as young as three or four years old, the older ones were only about ten years old, they held the bowl, served a bowl of yellow corn rice from the steamer, and then they were at the the table and ate it up.
The man looked at Wang Baogen and asked us to eat some with the children, Wang Baogen refused with the party and said, “We came over today is something, last time Lao Liu came over to give the children a check-up, found that your little youngest’s blood type and all aspects are quite compatible with my friend’s daughter, that child is sick, to bone marrow transplant, but also kidneys, last time and you guys said, you see The last time I talked to you, you look at the price what suitable words, let’s arrange for the child, the child there is still waiting for the operation!
Wang Baogen’s words were so direct that I was a bit confused, but what I didn’t expect was the man, who said, “OK, whatever you say, the child is young, but it’s useful after all, it wasn’t born for nothing, and my wife is pregnant, so we really need the money. The house is a bit old, and should be repaired, it’s been leaking for a few days, so it’s not comfortable to live in.
I subconsciously clasped my hands just together and looked at the father, holding back for a moment, and looked at him and said, “Hello child father, what we are talking to you about is your child needs to provide my daughter with bone marrow stem cells, and one of the kidneys in your daughter’s body could potentially be transplanted into my daughter’s body.”
The man nodded with a smile on his face and without the slightest reaction said, “I know all this, Mr. Wang has brought people here a few times before, don’t worry about it, it’s a blessing for my daughter to be able to serve you, no fear, no fear.”
I couldn’t breathe, I thought to myself, probably because the room was too small and the charcoal fire was burning, I couldn’t say anything for a while.
The child’s life and health seemed not to matter at all in their eyes.
Wang Baogen seems to have seen it all, just speak, “OK, then a moment to let Miss Shen and your little young contact contact, as long as everything is almost talked about, tomorrow we will give you the money, little young to do surgery, we have to take her to the city to recuperate a few days, these are no problem, right?”

The man shook his head and said with a grin on his face, “No problem, no problem, you guys go ahead and take it with you.”
The woman looked at us and didn’t say anything, and could tell that she didn’t seem to be able to say anything in this house.
Lin Shen never said anything, and after listening to all they had to say, he looked at the man and said, “Can you please help us find a clean lady’s dress for us?”
The man froze and nodded repeatedly, “Fine, right away!” Then he looked at the woman and said, “Go and find them a dress.”
The woman got up and went to another partitioned door, while Wang Baogen and the man chatted and my eyes fell on the group of children eating around the table.
They were all wearing ill-fitting clothes, some with several dirty t-shirts layered on top of each other, and some with just a single poor quality jumper, and I could tell that they were all simply just trying to keep out the cold, and they all seemed to have passed on all the clothes they could wear, but it was clear that it still didn’t keep them warm enough.
I paused for a moment as my eyes fell on the little girl who was squeezed to one side. The child looked about three years old, her cheeks were red on both sides, looking like they were highland red or frozen red, the sides of her mouth were black from eating, probably because of the cold weather, her nose was running while she reached up to wipe it with her sleeve, but it didn’t get clean and got all over her mouth and the dishes.
I couldn’t help but frown slightly as the woman came out of the partition door with a set of clothes in her hand and looked at me and said, “You try one on haha.”
I nodded, smiled and said thank you and looked at her and said, “Can I borrow a pair of dry shoes from you?” Just now when coming up, shoes and trousers all dirty winter cold, wearing that wet shoes, really uncomfortable. Mobile sm…
The woman nodded and went to the cupboard and searched for half a day and took out a pair of cloth shoes, still new, but looking at the style and look, it looked like she had sewn them herself.
When Lin Shen saw that the shoes were too thin, he could not help but frown and spoke, “Do you have any warmer ones?”
The woman froze slightly and shook her head, “They’re all like this!”
I smiled, took the shoes, said thank you, changed into clean shoes, and sat by the fire to roast, when Fu Shen called, because the signal was not good, he could not receive several calls, I had to send him a message, telling him not to go back tonight.
A seven or eight hour drive is too far.
Wang Baogen talked to the man a bunch of times, then looked at me and said, “Miss Shen, take a look at the child, if there’s nothing wrong with it, we’ll take the child to A City tomorrow, also your daughter’s side has to be transferred from the capital, the child has no account or identity information for the time being, so we can only do the surgery in A City for the time being.”
I was still a bit confused when I saw the man get up and walk over to the youngest girl, wiped her runny nose with his sleeve and looked at me and said with a smile, “Miss Shen, look at this, although this child is a bit younger, she is still obedient and understanding, she is not afraid of pain, do you think it will suit your heart?”
The child didn’t know why she was being spoken to by the adults like that, she just looked at me blankly, a bit confused, probably because she hadn’t eaten enough, after she carefully glanced at her father, she lifted her bowl and chopsticks and stuffed a mouthful of cabbage into her mouth again, the vegetable soup got all over herself.
