On the way back, Gu Qingyao reached into the basket and put all the things into her space.
Chen Goudan, who was next to her, lowered his head and seemed a little unhappy.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Goudan raised his head to look at Gu Qingyao, then lowered his head again. "Older Sister Gu, I think I'll be beaten again when I get home. It's okay if I get beaten up, since I'm thick-skinned anyway, but Younger Sister …"
He lowered his head to look at his younger sister, who was holding his hand.
Chen Xiaocao, who was originally happy because she had eaten good food today, turned pale when she heard this.
Eldest Uncle's family had given her the name Xiaocao, which showed her status.
The Chen Family had enslaved Chen Goudan and his younger sister, and it had become a habit. If they were slightly dissatisfied, they would beat them and not give them food.
Sometimes, when Chen Honghua and the others were in a bad mood, they would beat Xiaocao up to vent their anger.
The two siblings had no one to rely on, and their house had been taken over by Eldest Uncle's family. They had nothing. After living for so long, they didn't even have a decent name.
This time, Chen Goudan didn't bring the fish home, but directly gave it to Mo Beihan. At that time, they didn't dare to cause trouble for Mo Beihan, but when they got home, they would definitely beat Chen Goudan and Chen Xiaocao.
Gu Qingyao looked at the pitiful little girl, frowned, and thought for a while. "You can't go on like this. Goudan, actually, you don't have a deep relationship with your Eldest Uncle's family. In the past, it was your grandmother who raised you. Now, your grandmother passed away not long ago, and your Eldest Uncle's family didn't raise you for long, right?"
"Although the house, furniture, and your grandmother's things are not a lot, at least they have all been taken over by them, so it's more or less offset. However, if you continue to live together for a long time, then it's equivalent to them raising you. In the future, Xiaocao's fate will probably be controlled by them. If they let Xiaocao get married, you will be in a lot of trouble."
Chen Goudan lowered his head to look at his younger sister, who was only six years old, and said to Gu Qingyao, "I've thought about this. Although she's still young, if she continues like this, there will definitely be trouble in the future. Eldest Uncle's family is too difficult to deal with, I … don't want to have anything to do with them."
"Then what do you want to do?"
Chen Goudan looked at Gu Qingyao, and said a little uncertainly, "Sister Gu, if I don't live with Eldest Uncle's family, and raise my younger sister by myself, do you think I can survive?"
Gu Qingyao didn't say anything, and she heard Chen Goudan continue, "I work very hard every day. Although I may not be able to fill my younger sister's stomach, but … at least she won't starve to death. Anyway, I can't eat my fill at Eldest Uncle's house. My younger sister has to work all day at such a young age, and Eldest Aunt wants her to do the laundry and cook. I don't want to go on like this."
"In another two years, I will grow up, and there will be more work to do in the future. I kind of want to bring my younger sister out. Even if I have to beg for food, I won't let my younger sister starve to death."
Of course, it would be good to separate, but Gu Qingyao knew that as a child, it would be different if they didn't have a home.
"Have you thought about it? Perhaps you won't starve to death if you separate, but you are both children after all. If you separate, there won't be any adults at home. That kind of feeling will be different. Do you feel scared? Do you feel insecure? "
Chen Goudan looked at Gu Qingyao and muttered, "Now that I'm living at Eldest Uncle's house, I still feel insecure!"
