Gu Qingyao had thought that this child had suffered since she was young and had been mistreated by her family. She was afraid that they would abandon her. She did not expect her to be so sensible. "Cousin, I know that Grandma and the rest have always despised me for not being able to work. They even said that I'm a freeloader. Actually, I have to do a lot of work with Mother every day and I don't even have to eat."
"The more you say that I don't work and want to eat, the more they will abandon me. That way, I can leave with Mother."
Gu Qingyao did not know what to say for a moment.
A ten-year-old child was actually so intelligent. Or rather, she was so perceptive. How much hardship did she suffer and how much did she have to endure?
She recalled that this younger cousin had died of an illness when she was in her teens in her previous life. At that time, the Gu family had not been ordinary. Youngest Aunt had only told the family about it later on …
Gu Qingyao pursed her lips. She would never do that in this lifetime!
Gu Qingyao carried Gu Yunshuang for more than forty minutes before she saw her third brother, Gu Jinlin, pulling a small cart and rushing over. Mo Beihan was beside him.
The two of them reached Gu Qingyao and did not waste any time. "Hurry, hurry!"
Gu Jinlin turned the small cart around. Mo Beihan came over and carried Gu Yunshuang onto the cart. The cart was padded with straw. Mo Beihan took off his coat and covered Gu Yunshuang's body. He then carried Li Fangting onto the cart.
"You get on too!"
He shouted to Gu Qingyao.
Gu Qingyao shook her head. "I don't need …"
Before she could finish speaking, Mo Beihan pulled her to the side of the cart and pushed her onto it. "Hurry up. We've walked so far. It would be strange if you're not tired. Your brother and I can carry all of you."
Gu Qingyao was pulled onto the cart by Mo Beihan. Gu Jinlin pulled the cart and left.
Mo Beihan pushed him from behind.
The two men ran very fast. Gu Qingyao sat on the handcart and took out two meat buns wrapped in kraft paper from her pocket. She gave one to Li Fangting and fed the other to Gu Yunshuang.
"Auntie, eat something. Your body will only recover when you are full."
Gu Yunshuang still had tears on her face. She opened her mouth and ate the steamed bun that Gu Qingyao fed her.
Li Fangting looked at the bun in her hand and was stunned for a long time. "There's such a beautiful bun?"
The steamed buns were made of fine white flour. The surface was white, warm, and soft. It was completely different from the black steamed buns or cornbread she had seen before.
Those buns were all black. She never knew that there were such beautiful white buns.
Mo Beihan was beside them. He glanced at Gu Qingyao and indeed saw that Gu Qingyao's eyes were red.
Gu Qingyao said, "Hurry up and eat. Otherwise, it will turn cold!"
Li Fangting was still young. It was her first time seeing such a good steamed bun. She could not help but eat it in small bites with a satisfied expression.
After a while, she saw Gu Yunshen running over with a blanket and a cotton-padded jacket. The handcart was borrowed from the brigade. Gu Jinlin and Gu Yunshen were still working outside. When they heard the news, Gu Jinlin immediately went to the brigade's office to borrow a handcart and ran here. Gu Yunshen went home to get a blanket and clothes.
Gu Jinlin bumped into Mo Beihan on his way here.
Mo Beihan put on the coat again. Gu Yunshen covered Gu Yunshuang with the blanket and wrapped the cotton-padded jacket around Li Fangting, who was wearing thin clothes.
Jiang Xun, who had run to call for help, also came over. He had run too quickly and was tired and hungry. When he came back, he could not keep up with them and fell behind.
"Aunt Gu, Uncle Gu, I'll go back first."
