Ah Shu was over there. He was his best friend. When he was sad, he could talk to Ah Shu. Ah Shu did not bully and laugh at him like the other cousins of the Gu family.
Gu Yundong’s heart ached when she heard what he said. She tightened her grip on Gu Yundong’s shoulders and slowly released her grip when she felt the thin and weak bones under her palm.
“You don’t have to work. When you come to Eldest Uncle’s house, you just have to take care of yourself and help do what you can when we’re busy. You’re our family, not a servant.”
It seemed like a long time since he had a family by his side.
Blinking his eyes, Bian Yuanzhi was confused and in disbelief. He felt like he was dreaming.
Gu Yundong patted his head. “Ah Shu must be very happy to see you.”
She stood up and held his hand as she walked towards Madam Yang, who had been standing at the side.
“Do you remember Eldest Aunt?”
Bian Yuanzhi raised his head. He had an impression of Madam Yang. Firstly, it was because Madam Yang’s situation was special and he easily remembered her. Secondly, it was because she was an adult and he had to greet the elders when he went to his uncle’s house. He spoke more to her.
When he entered just now, he was afraid and did not dare to look around. Only now did he notice her.
Madam Yang also squatted down and hugged his small body. She patted his back gently and said with a smile, “Let’s go home. I’ll bring you home. Don’t be afraid. Dongdong is here. Don’t be afraid.”
“Wah…” Bian Yuanzhi suddenly burst into tears.
Perhaps it was because Madam Yang was an elder, and her smile was reassuring. Her embrace was warm, and her voice also made his uneasy emotions relax. Immediately, all his discomfort and grievances surged and he could not help but cry until he was hoarse.
Madam Yang was shocked. She looked up at Gu Yundong helplessly.
Gu Yundong blinked at her. Madam Yang patted Bian Yuanzhi’s back gently. “Don’t cry, don’t cry. Be a good boy, don’t cry.”
Bian Yuanzhi had been suffering for too long. He had been treated like livestock by his relatives in the Gu family. Now that he was in the arms of his aunt, he finally understood what it meant to have a family member.
Not all blood relations could be called family.
He was crying so hard that he was out of breath. Seeing that he was about to faint, Gu Yundong went forward and pulled him out of Madam Yang’s arms. She wiped his face with a handkerchief. “Stop crying. It’s all in the past. Are you hungry? Let’s eat first. You can take a shower and sleep. We’ll talk after you rest, okay?”
Gu Yundong’s temper was much better now, especially when facing children. She was especially patient.
Yes, this was all thanks to Yunshu, Yunke, and Madam Yang.
After all, these were three babies.
Now, with the addition of Bian Yuanzhi, Gu Yundong suddenly felt that she had the potential to be a kindergarden teacher.
She suddenly shivered and got up to open the cover on the table. The food had been prepared long ago, and now it was warm enough to eat.
Bian Yuanzhi was indeed very hungry. He had only eaten a steamed bun last night. At the sight of the delicious food, he couldn’t help but swallow hard.
However, he was probably tortured by the Gu family for too long. He still asked carefully, “Can I really eat it?”
Gu Yundong smiled at him. “You didn’t eat much in the past. Now, you can only eat soft porridge and some light and refreshing dishes. You can slowly eat something better later.”
“Okay.” That was good too. This seemed to be plain porridge. Even Old Master Gu could not eat such porridge..
