Jiang Qiao patted her younger brother's head. "Zhihong, this is the situation our family is in right now. We all feel wronged, but for the time being, we can't find a solution. It might even get worse in the future."

I have no other requests, as long as we live upright lives, don't steal or rob, do our own thing, and walk our own path.

"Even if people talk about you outside, we can still stand tall and say, 'So what if I'm Gu Hanting's grandson? Did we eat your food or wear your clothes? Our grandfather's little bit of land was just for making a living. We're all trying to make a living, just in different ways.'"

Gu Zhihong was amused by Jiang Qiao's words. "Sister, if I dared to say that, I'd probably get a beating."

Gu Zhixuan spoke up from the side, "We don't need to tell anyone else this. Just keep it in mind. We won't harm anyone, but we can't let others bully us either. The martial arts your uncle taught you can't be taught for nothing. You can't train with me for nothing either. If you can't handle it, we'll take you out and try it out."

Jiang Qiao smiled and patted her younger brother's head. "Alright, if you're happy, let's eat. Remember what I just said: you can't kill someone by cursing, and that's the most incompetent thing to do. But if we find out who did it, we'll teach her a lesson later. What are you going to do about it?"

Jiang Qiao had her suspicions. Her younger brother had a good relationship with his classmates, and when he got into that trouble last time, everyone helped him out.

They often stuffed food into Gu Zhihong's pockets, just in case the child was neglected. They say that if you eat someone's food, you are obligated to them. She just couldn't understand why anyone would be so bored as to make fun of Zhihong.

If this had happened to Gu Zhixuan, Jiang Qiao wouldn't have bothered with it. He's such a big kid, and he doesn't even have this much mental fortitude. What great things can we expect him to accomplish in the future?

But Gu Zhihong is different from the other two. At least his older brother has a father who loves him. Although everyone loves Gu Zhihong, he ultimately lacks the love of his parents. Although the whole family loves him, this love cannot replace the love given by his parents.

As the eldest sister, Jiang Qiao values ​​the child's mental well-being the most. If she notices something is wrong, she quickly tries to comfort and guide the child.

The Gu family has already paid too high a price for this, and they can't let something like this affect the next generation.

Gu Zhihong felt that although he didn't have parents, it was good to have older brothers and sisters. Look, when he was wronged, his older brothers and sisters were quite worried.

When the little guy is happy, he eats his lunch with gusto. Actually, it's also because Jiang Qiao is a good cook. There's not much time to make a big meal for lunch, but it definitely ensures that the three of them get the nutrition they need.

Gu Zhihong ate the seafood meat pie and drank the corn porridge with a satisfied look on his face. He probably felt relieved. He had already eaten two and a half vegetable pancakes, leaving the other half for Gu Zhixuan to eat.

Jiang Qiao felt like these two teenagers were eating her father alive. Luckily, she had plenty of food on hand. Otherwise, her uncle would have had a hard time raising them. They were both at an age where they could eat a lot, and no family could afford to raise them.

While clearing away the dishes, Jiang Qiao casually asked, "Zhihong, did something happen on your way to school or at school?"

Gu Zhihong initially shook his head, but soon he started nodding. "Sister, do you think it's a big deal that I saw Jiang Hong?"

"Huh? Jiang Hong? Tell me quickly, what exactly happened?"

Not only Jiang Qiao, but even Gu Zhixuan sat down, waiting for his younger brother to explain in detail.

Gu Zhihong looked puzzled. "I don't know what happened either. Anyway, when I went to school this morning, I saw Jiang Hong come out of the woods on the east side of the school."

Gu Zhixuan pressed on, asking, "Just her alone?"

Gu Zhihong nodded. "I was in a hurry to get to school and didn't dare to waste any time. That's when I saw her. She glared at me, and then I went into the school compound. Sister, do you think Jiang Hong did this?"

Jiang Qiao couldn't say for sure about this matter either. She didn't have much contact with Jiang Hong, and she basically only knew about the Jiang family and their affairs from the people in the courtyard.

However, she still remembered what happened last night quite clearly. The one who ran to the backyard must have been Jiang Hong. As for why this person came to find her, she still couldn't figure out the reason.

Upon hearing the name Jiang Hong, Gu Zhixuan was furious. "What's wrong with the Jiang family? They're like ghosts that won't leave you alone. They dragged your sister out here. What's the meaning of this? Do they want to cause trouble for someone else?"

Jiang Qiao's expression was somewhat serious. "Brother, this matter is not so simple. Let me tell you, when I was treating Brother Ning Hao last night, this Jiang Hong seemed to be outside. I don't understand what she meant. After we found out, she ran back. We were too lazy to pay attention to her at the time. It seems we need to be careful about this person in the future."

Zhihong, I'll say it again: after school, go with your classmates. Don't go out alone, no matter who asks you to. Remember, stick with the group; you won't get hurt. Don't believe anything anyone says. If anything happens, we'll come find you ourselves.

Gu Zhihong nodded. He still remembered the last incident vividly, especially the assassination attempt on Jiang Qiao. He and his brother had heard Gu Zhengkai mention it, so the word "caution" was deeply ingrained in their minds.

Jiang Qiao put two snacks in her younger brother's schoolbag, afraid that he would be hungry when school was over.

"Sis, you don't need to bring me any. Nobody else is eating it, so it's not good for me to eat it alone."

Gu Zhixuan patted his younger brother's head. "I didn't let you eat alone. I prepared this for you in case you get hungry. If you're not hungry, you don't have to eat. I'll bring it back for breakfast tonight."

After seeing her younger brother off, Jiang Qiao quickly tidied up and prepared dinner for them. She cooked in a small pot and on a small stove. She had wanted to bring lunch, but they could eat so much that not much was left over.

Gu Zhixuan was deeply moved. To say that he took care of his younger brother was nothing compared to the fact that his sister Jiang Qiao was probably the busiest. She had to worry about their food and clothing, and also keep an eye on their safety at all times. He truly felt that it was not easy for Jiang Qiao to be the daughter of the Gu family.

"Alright, I'll take care of the rest tonight. Let's go, it's almost time."

Fortunately, the brother and sister can still go to school together, and they can communicate about some things on the way.

Just as they arrived at the school gate, Ning Hao appeared. He didn't want the scene from that morning to repeat itself, so he called Gu Zhixuan and Jiang Qiao and went to the nearby woods.

"I've already spoken to Director Song and Song Shutian about your great-aunt's matter, and they just replied. I was worried you'd be anxious, so I came over to let you know as soon as possible."

"What exactly happened? What did they say?"

Speaking of Dong Chunxiao's situation, Ning Hao's expression was somewhat conflicted. He didn't know what kind of luck Jiang Qiao had. None of her relatives were from good backgrounds. They came and went from afar, and that was it. Now they were coming to visit again. It was probably not a good thing for a weasel to visit a chicken.
