Chapter 409: Chapter 398: Taking in Two Little Unfortunates Chapter 409: Chapter 398: Taking in Two Little Unfortunates Qiao Jing frowned slightly and took a quick glance at the two children before asking with puzzlement in her voice.

“Your home? Where is your home?”

No matter how she looked at them, they didn’t seem like children who had a home. If they did, their parents wouldn’t let them end up like this.

Both of them had clothes riddled with holes and were filthy from head to toe. Their hair was also messy, and they were picking up bottles, an obvious sign of being homeless kids.

The little boy, feeling inferior, hung his head low, staring at his toes and nervously wringing his hands as he spoke.

“Our home is… under South Bridge…”

He and his sister had been homeless for as long as they could remember, usually sleeping in the dark space under South Bridge.

In Qiao Jing’s eyes, a hint of helplessness and sympathy appeared. She was about to reach out and gently touch the boy’s head when he dodged away.

The young boy covered his head with his hands and apologized.

“I’m sorry, sister. I forgot to move away earlier, which is why you touched my head. It’s been a few days since it rained, so my hair is really dirty because I haven’t washed it.”

Qiao Jing felt so heartbroken at the boy’s words.

“It’s okay, I’ll take you home to treat your wounds and have a bath. Is it alright if I send you to a welfare institution tomorrow?”

Perhaps it was because she had become a mother that she couldn’t bear such scenes even more now.

And the two kids were so sensible, how could she bear to let them continue to wander on the streets?

The boy’s eyes brightened at the mention of the welfare institution.

“Welfare institution? Can we go to the welfare institution too?”

Qiao Jing hummed in affirmation.

The two kids jumped for joy on the spot, a look of excitement on the little girl’s face.

“That’s great, brother! If we go to the welfare institution, we’ll have a place to live, and we won’t have to stay under South Bridge every day.

Moreover, I heard that the kids there eat really well, they don’t just eat steamed buns, they have meat and vegetables!”

A happy smile also spread across the little boy’s face.

“Then we won’t have to pick up bottles every day.”

Qiao Jing, watching the children’s joyous expressions, her eyes curved into a smile.
