Kong Shi exclaimed in surprise, and the An Family watched Yin Xilin with astonishment. This little girl's body seemed like that of a five or six-year-old, at least half a head shorter than an average eight-year-old child!
"Lingling was abused in the mountain and not given enough food, so she's malnourished and hence so tiny. I've examined her, and she is indeed eight years old."
An Yiqing's explanation made the An Family feel even more sorry for Yin Xilin. Whose eight-year-old child isn't pampered in their parents' arms, but the sensible Yin Xilin was thrown into the orphanage early on, then sold to Dawang Mountain by traffickers. If An Yiqing hadn't rescued her, who knows, she might still be trapped in the mountain!
