Chapter 202: The Brothers Are All Back To Pay A Visit (3) (1/2)

Gu Yunjing looked at Gu Qingyao, startled.

Only then did he recall that the children were all playing outside. Only the adults were here, and Gu Qingyao was now an adult.

She was about to be engaged!

Gu Yunjing nodded and said, “That’s right, it was Beihan who told me. His comrade brought me a message, telling me to be careful. If all else fails, I should take the initiative to leave. In that way, the blow will not be so severe, and I can even decide where to go, so there is some element of choice.”

Gu Qingyao frowned and thought about it. Her eldest uncle’s family had indeed suffered greatly in her previous life. At that time, they had brought the two young boys along as well. But most crucially, Eldest Uncle and Eldest Aunt had been separated and Eldest Cousin had been sent even further away.

Mo Beihan had told him?

How did Elder Brother Beihan know?

Gu Qingyao could not figure it out.

Gu Qingyao was still young, and a girl, so Gu Yunjing paid her no more attention when he saw that she did not say anything more.

Instead, he told the two old people, “Father, Mother, right now I’ll probably be leaving for the north-east. The environment there is harsh, so I thought I would send the two younger ones here instead.

“If I and the children’s mother have to suffer, then so be it. Jinye doesn’t have a choice either. He’s grown up, and we’re not so worried about him. But I really can’t bear to bring the two little ones with us.”

The two young ones were nine and six years old, respectively. How could they bear to bring such young children up north to suffer?

Gu Yunshen thought about it and said, “In that case, it would be best to leave the two younger ones here. The north is too far and the environment is too harsh. The children probably cannot stand it. Let them stay here! When we have time, our father and I can teach them to read and write.

“Once Eldest Brother’s family leaves, Third Brother might as well leave his two children here as well. That way, the children won’t find it so odd. Otherwise, if Eldest Brother leaves without the children, Little Six and Little Nine will be sad to see Little Seven and Little Eight leave with their parents.”

In the Gu family, only the boys were ranked. Gu Ruoqing’s case was special. Both the old people and Gu Yunshen had never thought of her as part of the family.

So all the rest were boys, and Gu Qingyao was the only girl.

In terms of ranking, everyone’s habit was to rank only the boys. Gu Qingyao was the exception.
