Chapter 280 You Don’t Understand Our Sadness

Gu Qingsong strode to Gu Baozhu, his eyes fluctuating. He wanted to pick her up, but was afraid of scaring her, so he squatted in front of her, looked at her straight in the eyes and asked: "Baozhu, are you here to find... me?"

Gu Baozhu looked more carefully. His beard was unkempt, and he looked particularly sloppy. The scar on his nose was fierce, but his eyes were very gentle when he looked at her, like the eyes of a mother looking at her.

She scratched her skirt with her fingers. If Gu's mother and Su Wan were there, they would definitely see that Gu Baozhu was very nervous and guilty.

Gu Baozhu blinked, and the mist in her eyes was about to overflow, looking pitiful.

"I... If I don't come to you, won't you come to me?"

Gu Qingsong shook his head, his heart softened: "I will come to you."

"Then why didn't you come to us after waiting for so long?" Gu Baozhu bit her lip, stretched out her hand, and counted her fingers one by one: "My eldest brother was in poor health and had been taking medicine. It was my eldest sister-in-law who cured him. My second brother was also in poor health when he was a child. Aunt Wang said that my mother cried secretly every night because she was worried about my second brother. She cried too much and her eyes were not good. When the wind blew in her eyes, she would shed tears and couldn't see things clearly at night.

My mother took my second brother to treat the disease, and Aunt Wang took care of me and ate rice soup. My mother said that I started to grow hair when I was three years old because I didn't have milk to drink and couldn't grow hair on my head." Gu Baozhu grabbed her hair and showed it to Gu Qingsong: "Look, my hair is still yellow now."

"There are also villages "Everyone in the village cursed my mother for being so unlucky that she killed me, and that's why my eldest and second brothers are in poor health. The little friends in the village refused to play with me and my brother, fearing that we would kill them, and they often bullied me." Gu Baozhu lifted her bangs to reveal her smooth forehead, pointing to the scar caused by Su Wan: "They used a slingshot, and my second brother helped me vent my anger. My face was blue and blood was flowing from my nostrils. Mom said that Dad was omnipotent and a great hero. At that time, I really hoped that Dad would appear like a hero."

Gu Baozhu said these words deliberately to let Gu Qingsong know how much his mother had suffered for him, but when talking about these past events, tears could not be stopped: "It was Mom who appeared."

Gu Qingsong's heart felt like a knife was stabbed into it and stirred fiercely, stabbing a bloody hole, the blue veins on the back of his hand protruded, and his muscles were trembling. He tightened his jaw and bit his teeth.

"I asked her if she was the one who killed her father and if I was a bastard. Mother said I was not a bastard and that my father went to a far place to help people who needed him." Gu Baozhu sniffed and asked Gu Qingsong in confusion, "Mother didn't tell me what death was, did you know?"

Gu Qingsong's throat tightened. Gu Baozhu's words made him lose the ability to speak and he couldn't say a word.

"Don't you know?" Gu Baozhu stared at the tears in his eyes and wiped the tears from her face with her sleeves: "I will know when I grow up. I know that my father was not killed by my mother, but by a beast. I no longer envy others for having a father, nor do I want a father."

"Baozhu..."

"Because I have a powerful sister-in-law. She is willing to marry my eldest brother and is very good to me, my mother and my brothers. It is she who allows us to have enough food, wear warm clothes, study, and fight off those who bully us. Our family lives a good life, and they all envy me for having a sister-in-law." Gu Baozhu smiled sweetly: "I hope our family will continue like this. In the future, we will have little nephews, nieces, and my second sister-in-law, and nothing else."
