I get stronger every day I live.

Chapter 115 Li Xiaowen's Worry
After filling his stomach, Lai Yang closed the inn and hung a sign in front of the door saying it was closed for the day.

Afterwards, Lai Yang took Xiao Wen and Xiao Nuan out of the inn and went to a nearby cloth shop.

The shopkeeper glanced at the three of them, a professional smile on his face, and said, "Hello, guests. What can I do for you? We only sell the finest materials."

"Get some suitable clothes for these two children." Lai Yang pointed at Li Xiaowen and Li Xiaonuan.

The two little girls hid behind Lai Yang, seeming to be nervous and afraid of strangers.

The shopkeeper showed a puzzled look in his eyes and subconsciously asked, "What is the relationship between this guest and these two children?"

"The shopkeeper is opening a business and still asking about the customers' backgrounds?" Lai Yang frowned, looking a little displeased.

For a moment, the shopkeeper seemed to feel the terrifying pressure. He raised his hand to wipe the nonexistent cold sweat from his forehead and said with an awkward smile, "I'm sorry. I don't know what kind of clothes you need. We have all kinds of fabrics and silks here. If you're not in a hurry, you can choose the fabric and give it to us to make clothes for you. We only charge a small labor fee."

"First, get them two sets of clothes that they can wear immediately."

"Okay, please follow me."

Upon hearing this, the cloth shop owner immediately brought the three of them to a row of children's ready-made clothes and said, "Please feel free to choose."

Lai Yang brought Li Xiaowen and Li Xiaonuan forward, took a few casual glances, and then handed the decision to the two little girls: "Pick what you like."

Li Xiaonuan subconsciously looked up at Lai Yang, as if to confirm his opinion.

It was not until she saw Lai Yang nodding at her that she happily ran to the clothes and pulled her sister Li Xiaowen to carefully choose them.

After a while, Li Xiaonuan chose pink clothes, while Li Xiaowen chose purple.

"Are you sure?" Lai Yang looked at the two sisters and asked.

"Yeah, this is it."

"Boss, I want two sets of these two clothes."

"Okay." The shopkeeper nodded with a smile. "Do you need custom-made clothes? Look at this fabric, it's so fine."

Lai Yang turned to look at Xiao Wen and Xiao Nuan and said calmly, "Do you like it?"

Before Xiao Nuan could speak, Xiao Wen immediately stood up and waved her hands hurriedly, saying, "My sister and I only have clothes to wear. We can't spend any more of Mr.'s money."

Hearing this, Lai Yang said nothing more. He turned to look at the shopkeeper and said, "Four sets each, check out."

"Okay, there are eight sets of clothes in total. I'll give you a small discount and charge you one tael and six cents." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

One liang is equal to 6 qian, and one liang is equal to 10 qian, which is equivalent to 2 qian of silver for a set of clothes, about 200 wen.

Hearing this, Li Xiaowen's face suddenly changed: "So expensive!? Sir, let's not take it, it's too expensive."

For ordinary people living at the bottom of society, 200 wen is enough to cover their normal expenses for one or two months if they live frugally.

Children from poor families have to grow up early, and it is obvious that Li Xiaowen understands what one liang and six qian represents.

In comparison, her younger sister Li Xiaonuan seems simpler.

"Consider these clothes as gifts to you. You don't have to pay off the debt." Lai Yang reached out and patted Li Xiaowen on the head, saying calmly, "Pack them up for me."

The owner of the cloth shop thought that the deal was going to be ruined.

Seeing that Lai Yang still wanted it, he immediately smiled and quickly packed up all the clothes.

Li Xiaowen looked anxious, her face flushed, but she didn't know how to refuse.

Seeing the clothes being quickly packed and handed to Lai Yang, she finally gave up struggling.

Lai Yang quietly observed the changes in Li Xiaowen's expression, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. This kid is really interesting.

After leaving the cloth shop, Lai Yang, holding a bag of clothes, looked down at the two sisters and said, "We have a lot of stuff. Let's go back to the inn and change your tattered clothes first."

"Okay." Li Xiaonuan raised her hand and shouted happily. Li Xiaowen nodded in agreement.

"Xiao Nuan is tired and my legs are so sore. Sir, give me a hug." Li Xiaonuan pulled the corner of Lai Yang's clothes and said pitifully and coquettishly.

Seeing this, Li Xiaowen suddenly became nervous, fearing that her sister's behavior would anger Lai Yang.

"Xiao Nuan, don't bother sir, can I carry you on my back?" Li Xiaowen said softly to Li Xiaonuan.

"No, Xiaonuan wants to be hugged by the master." Li Xiaonuan curled her lips and said capriciously.

Li Xiaowen was a little anxious.

The next moment, Lai Yang picked up Li Xiaonuan with his powerful left arm and let her petite body lean against his arms.

A happy expression suddenly appeared on Li Xiaonuan's little face.

Li Xiaowen looked at this scene, his expression was stunned, and he mustered up the courage to say: "I'm sorry, Xiaonuan is still young, and I have caused trouble for you, sir."

"Are you tired? Do you want me to carry you back?" Lai Yang looked at Li Xiaowen with a gentle expression on his face.

Li Xiaowen's expression changed slightly, but it was fleeting. He then shook his head and said firmly, "I'm not tired. I can walk by myself."

Lai Yang nodded without any hesitation.

In this way, Lai Yang held Li Xiaonuan in his arms, and Li Xiaowen followed beside him, and the three of them returned to the inn slowly.

After returning to the inn, Li Xiaonuan and Li Xiaowen took off their rags and put on their newly bought clothes.

A pink, cute, lively and innocent one.

A childish look with a hint of maturity, his little face showing a blush that was a bit unnatural due to shyness.

"gentlemen."

Li Xiaonuan threw herself into Lai Yang's arms like a caring little cotton-padded jacket, acting very intimately.

Li Xiaowen looked at the warm scene in front of her, with a hint of worry hidden deep in her eyes.

During the days when she wandered with her sister, she begged, stole and got beaten in order to survive.

During this period, she met many hypocritical people who appeared to be decent people on the surface, but were actually insidious, vicious, dirty and vulgar.

They will use sweet words or offer some benefits to deceive people, and then turn their backs on them after they succeed.

They even directly administer drugs and use harsh means to commit evil deeds.

She and her sister made themselves dirty because they were afraid of being targeted by human traffickers.

Several times she was nearly kidnapped and sold to an unknown place, where she was separated from her sister.

So she has always lived a very humble and cautious life.

She also wanted to trust others and find a kind-hearted person to rely on.

It was too difficult for these two little kids to survive.

But that time, Li Xiaowen was almost sold to a brothel.

This incident left a huge psychological shadow in Li Xiaowen's heart, and since then she no longer dared to trust others easily.

Even if she received a favor, she couldn't help but wonder if the other party wanted to deceive their trust and then sell them out.

Therefore, the more she saw Li Xiaonuan relying on and being close to Lai Yang, the more worried and scared Li Xiaowen became. She was afraid that Li Xiaonuan would get hurt.
