Unlike this child who was so sensible that one would pity her.

“Come, this is from Granny. It is to thank Rainy for doing such a great job for cleaning my clothes,” she said as she put the piece of candy into the child’s pocket.

“Thank you, Granny,” she replied in a soft, candy-like voice that would melt one’s heart. She hugged the clothes close to her and retreated, straggling in tiny steps.

A young child like this would, at times, struggle to get a stable footing. Right now, she was already helping her mother with ch.o.r.es.

She would look up constantly to look for her mother, and her arms were tired. Once she spotted a woman approaching, she smiled with her eyes squinting. She ran to the woman.

“Mommy.”

Xia Ruoxin saw the child coming. She squatted, put down the load of clothing that she had just collected, and caught the staggering child.

“Rainy, are you tired?” Her hand gently caressed the child’s hair. Then, she took over the pile of clothing from her daughter and put it aside.

“No.” Rainy shook her head before hugging Xia Ruoxin’s neck. “Mommy, let’s go home.” Her petal-like lips pouted, and she planted a big kiss on Xia Ruoxin’s face. She loved her mother the most.

“Okay.” Xia Ruoxin rubbed her daughter’s hair. Then, she carried the pile of clothes from the ground. Rainy stood obediently by her side. She reached out with her small hand and held onto a chunk of her mother’s blouse.

She reached into her pocket with the other hand, but she took it out again and held tightly onto Xia Ruoxin’s blouse, afraid of losing herself.

Xia Ruoxin walked slowly, matching the child’s tiny footsteps. Yet, at this speed, Rainy still felt as though she was running.

They arrived back at the place they had been staying for the past three years. They no longer reside in the dark warehouse. Now, she had two jobs, and they could afford to rent a small apartment.

It may be small, but it was a home for her and her daughter.

The door opened, and it led to a small room; it was sufficient for them.

A child’s hands and an adult’s hands were doing the laundry in a water basin. However, the child’s hands were not strong enough. It looked more like she was playing with water.

Xia Ruoxin looked at her daughter’s flushed face. Her curly eyelashes batted as her eyes moved to her tiny hands. Such small hands should belong to a child who was still insensible.

Her daughter was very obedient, so much that her heart ached for her.

“Rainy, you can stop if you are tired. Okay? Mommy can do this alone.” Actually, the little one had not been of much help.

Rainy looked up with her beautiful face as she shook her head very seriously. “No, I’m not tired. I want to work with Mommy because I have grown up.”

Xia Ruoxin wiped her sweat with her hand and rubbed her daughter’s face. “Whose character did you take after? Being so stubborn.”

“Haha…” Rainy laughed happily and continued clumsily to wash a piece of clothing. She was happy to be able to work with her mother.

Her small frame looked even smaller when she was squatting. The warm light in the room shone on her and made her look like an angel with wings. She was indeed an angel.

She had come to save her mother who had nothing.
