Chapter 251: Jiang Xun’s Visit (2) (1/2)

Jiang Xun was a little embarrassed, to which Gu Qingyao laughed. “I heard about you from Tingting before. Weren’t you all friends before? You don’t have to be so polite if you’re friends. Take this.”

Jiang Xun took the items obediently and thanked Gu Qingyao. Then, he wore his coat and dashed into the blizzard.

Gu Yunshuang sighed as she watched Jiang Xun leave.

“That child. He truly doesn’t have it easy!”

Gu Qingyao had heard about Jiang Xun from Gu Fangting before and only knew that there were no adults in his house. He still had a younger brother and Gu Yunshuang once gave him some food and old clothes secretly.

It was already extremely impressive for Gu Yunshuang to be able to do these given her circumstances.

But Gu Qingyao did not have any more detailed information about Jiang Xun.

“Younger Aunt, is he having a really tough time?”

Gu Yunshuang nodded and said, “Yes! That child is only fourteen this year. He used to live quite far away from us last time. I’m not sure where exactly it was but it would take about an entire day to walk there.

“He still has three younger brothers who are all quite young. One of them is his biological brother while the other two are his cousins. I heard that his parents and grandparents died from starvation successively some years back. Those who managed to pull through also ended up with many illnesses and passed away a few years later.

“He was only so young back then and had to take care of his younger brother who’s just learnt how to walk. It was his aunt who took them in and raised them for a few years. Then, his uncle was sacrificed in a mission and his aunt, a woman with her two sons and the Jiang brothers, was bullied by the locals. Afterward, his aunt died from sickness too. Jiang Xun was only eleven then.

“He could not stay on at that place and thus brought his three younger brothers out to wander around. He reached the Poplar Brigade and there happened to be security passing by us. We saw that they were pitiful and told Li Aiguo to take them in thus they settled down there.

“His younger brothers are still young and the youngest one is only five!”

Gu Qingyao nodded. If that was the case, Jiang Xun really had it tough.
