Seeing Ning Guang looking at him gratefully, Gu Chao could not help but pat her head."
"It's getting late. You should go home.”
"Then Brother Gu Chao, let's meet here tomorrow!”
When Xiao Ningguang heard Gu Chao's words, she suddenly realized that it was indeed too late. If she did not go home soon, her mother would be worried.
So she picked up two lunch boxes, waved goodbye to Gu Chao, and gradually disappeared at the end of the road.
Gu Chao looked at Xiao Ningguang's back as she left and shifted his gaze back to the bonfire beside him.
He thought that Ningguang would open the box and eat it, but she did not even have the intention to open it.
After all, he could already hear Ningguang's stomach growling earlier.
Gu Chao could not get rid of the image of Ningguang's embarrassed and adorable look.
However, it was this girl who was starving that had never tasted such delicious food before. She did not enjoy it herself.
Instead, he chose to bring it home.
Gu Chao could imagine Ning Guang's actions.
She wanted to share this delicacy with her family.
Gu Chao sighed in his heart. Ningguang, this girl, was really too sensible.
In just a day, she could give Gu Chao so many emotions.
Previously, he wanted to help Ning Guang because he wanted to gain a good impression of her and obtain the system's reward.
He wanted to help Ningguang now because Gu Chao could not bear to see such a sensible and cute girl suffer anymore.
Gu Chao sat beside the fire and listened to the crackling sounds of the branches burning. He secretly hoped that the money and food he gave today could help Ningguang relieve some of his pressure.
In fact, it was not just the money from selling star conches today. When they were packing the food at Wanmin Hall, Gu Chao had placed a bag of Mora in the lunch box.
60,000 Mor was a small amount to him.
However, it was a considerable amount of income for Ningguang's family.
According to Ningguang's personality, she would definitely return it to him in the future.
However, that was in the future. He hoped that they could live a better life now.
After bidding farewell to Gu Chao, Ningguang's speed was much faster than usual.
Although she was still holding two lunch boxes in her hands and her body was already very weak from not eating, Ningguang did not stop in her tracks.
Her pretty face was already covered in sweat, but there was a happy smile on her face.
His mother had never eaten these dishes before. She wanted to bring them back and share them with her mother.
He could already see his home in front of him.
At that time, there was a small wooden house where only Ningguang and his mother lived.
Other than the simple kitchen, there was only a simple bedroom. When they got close, they could smell a moldy smell.
Although this place was simple and crude, the only good thing about it was that any bad person would look down on it.
The mother and daughter were still safe.
To outsiders, this was a place where no one could live, but to Ning Guang, it was the only warm place.
Ning Guang could already imagine her mother's joy when she saw him bring back the food.
She could imagine the happiness of the mother and daughter sitting together for dinner.
She pushed the door open.
"Mom, I'm back."
He did not hear his mother's gentle voice as usual.
It was unusually quiet.
An ominous premonition rose in Ning Guang's heart.
She rushed into the bedroom.
Then, he saw his mother lying unconscious on the floor.
"Mom!"
Ningguang could not make a sound as she knelt on the ground and shook her mother.
However, his mother's eyes were closed, and there was no sign of life in her.
Just as she was at a loss, she suddenly remembered that there was an old doctor in the village.
He immediately rushed out of the house and went straight to the old doctor's house.
"Quick, take me there!"
The old doctor was kind and knew that there were only her and her daughter in Ningguang's family. Without saying anything, he followed her to Ningguang's house.
After helping Ningguang's mother to the bed and examining her, the old doctor heaved a sigh of relief."
"Little Ningguang, your mother fainted because she was overworked. It's nothing serious."
Immediately after, a layer of worry climbed onto the old doctor's face."
"I'll prepare a prescription for you later. Follow this and get the medicine. Let your mother take it for a week.”
At this moment, Xiao Ningguang's face was already covered in tears. She only felt slightly better when she heard the old doctor say that it was nothing serious.
He was just about to get the consultation fee for the old doctor.
The old doctor waved his hand, indicating that there was no need.
"Little girl, we're from the same village, so there's no need for consultation fees.”
"Everyone knows that it hasn't been easy for you two.”
"However, these medicines cost at least tens of thousands of Mor 'ra. Eh... You'd better think of a way to quickly gather enough money for the medicine.”
"Her illness is very serious now. We can't delay it any longer.”
After the old doctor finished his instructions, he looked at Ningguang's house and sighed helplessly before leaving.
They all lived in the same village. The old doctor had long heard about Ningguang's family environment.
However, he did not expect the actual situation to be worse than what he had heard.
Tens of thousands of Moriah was more than enough for a family like this.
Ning Guang respectfully sent the old physician out.
Her mind was in a mess.
Mom's illness could not be delayed any longer.
But the medicine alone would cost tens of thousands of Moriah.
This amount of money was undoubtedly an astronomical figure for her now.
So far, other than the 4,000 Mor he had earned from meeting Gu Chao, it was already good enough for him to earn 1,000 Mor in other days.
Most of the time, they would not be able to earn a single share.
Even if he did not eat or drink, it would take him a month and a half to save up the money.
Ning Guang could endure hardship, but she could do any job.
However, with her mother's illness, she could not wait until then.
She no longer had any relatives. The villagers all thought that her family was poor and were unwilling to interact with them, let alone borrow money.
A figure appeared just as she was about to lose all hope.
Perhaps…Brother Gu Chao
She shook her head. No.
She had just met Gu Chao, so why was she asking him for money?
Moreover, tens of thousands of Mor 'ra was not a small number.
Despair enveloped Ningguang.
"Ning... Condensing light…"
His mother's weak voice sounded.
Ning Guang hurried forward and saw that her mother had already slowly opened her eyes. Her pale and dry lips were calling her name.
"Mom, how are you feeling?"
Ning Guang's mother did not answer. She gently placed her hand on Ning Guang's head, tears flowing out of her tired eyes.
"Child, it's your mother who has implicated you."
Tears streamed down her cheeks.
Actually, she had already woken up just now and heard what the old doctor said.
She was already on the verge of death. Her child was still young, but he was very sensible.
He could not bear such heavy pressure because of her.
"I won't treat this illness."
Her mother caressed Ningguang's face with heartache.
His daughter was so beautiful, but unfortunately, she was born into a poor family.
"Mom, it's okay. We'll treat him. We'll definitely treat him.”
Ningguang watched her mother cry, and the tears that had just stopped continued to fall.
"Mom, don't cry. There must be a way.”
Xiao Ningguang wiped away the tears on her mother's face and kept comforting her.
She couldn't just ignore her mother. No matter what, she would get the money to treat her mother's illness.
Ningguang's mother forced herself to sit up and stroked Ningguang's head.""Silly daughter, I'm crying because I feel sorry for you.”
"Our Little Ningguang is so beautiful. If she was born into a good family, she would definitely be the most beautiful in the entire village.”
"But it just had to be born in my stomach.”
"Mom, don't say anymore. I'll always be your daughter. I don't want anyone."
Ningguang interrupted her mother and wiped her tears."
"There will be a way, there will definitely be a way!”
Ning Guang stood up and brought the lunch box to her mother.
"Mom, don't be anxious. Eat first. You'll only have strength after you're full.”
Her mother looked at Ningguang's stubborn expression and smiled as if she was consoling her."
"Alright, let's eat."
How could she not know the condition of her body? She was afraid that she would leave this world soon.
She had nothing when she was alive, but she was quite comfortable when she died.
The only thing he was worried about was his daughter. She was still so young. If he went, what would he do if she was left alone?
His mother looked at the lunch box and realized that it was actually the packaging of Wan Min Tang.
At this moment, she did not have the strength to be surprised anymore. She turned to her daughter and said,
"Ning, are these dishes from Wan Min Hall?”
"Why did you buy such expensive food?”
Only then did Ning Guang think of telling her mother about what happened today.
"I met a very good big brother today. His name is Gu Chao.”
"These two dishes were also exchanged between him and me.”
Ning Guang explained to her mother as she opened the lunch box.
Then, something unexpected appeared inside.
It was a sack. He opened it.
It was filled with Mola!
