In the afternoon, Xu Huo was preparing to catch up on sleep, so she asked the mute girl to wake her up at dinner time.
Unexpectedly, before the meal was ready, a boy from downstairs came to knock on the door. The mute girl had just woken Xu Huo and went to open the door.
The boy straightened his thin body, "I want to eat. I can help you with chores, clean the house, cook, or run errands."
The mute girl immediately panicked, her survival instinct worrying that she might be kicked out because of the boy's arrival, but her humanity stopped her from harboring ill will towards the boy, so she could only nervously point to the kitchen, indicating that the meal was almost ready, and she went to serve it.
Xu Huo let the boy in and also asked the mute girl to prepare all the vegetables bought today.
In the small living room, Xu Huo asked the boy a few questions.
