Lu Manhua looked at Xiang Ping, who was about the same age as Sui Sui, in surprise, not knowing how to react.

Similarly, Sui Sui was also surprised.

She looked at He Nansheng inquiringly.

The other party just blinked at her, obviously not expecting that bringing the person back would turn out like this.

In the afternoon, He Nansheng followed Xiang An to the south of the city, where the two brothers were staying.

Judging from what Xiang Andao and Feng Ju were wearing, the place where they lived couldn't be very good.

When he actually saw it with his own eyes, He Nansheng couldn't help but feel pity.

This is a small, dilapidated temple, and it goes without saying that it is leaky everywhere.

The knocked-down Buddha statue created a sheltered corner in the only corner of the wall without a crack.

The two brothers scrounged for iron sheets and scrap wood, and hammered out a narrow shelter with nails.

It is also their home.

When they arrived at the dilapidated temple, Xiang Ping had just returned from outside.

When she saw Xiang An, her face lit up with joy at first, then she pursed her lips in anger, "An An, why did you come back just now!"

Xiang An went out early in the morning before dawn.

He said he would come back at noon, but he never showed up.

Xiang Ping was still sick and wanted to go out to look for her, but he was afraid that Xiang An would not be able to find him when he came back.

He didn't dare go too far.

Xiang An was five years younger than him and his mother died of complications during childbirth.

Although Xiang Ping has never seen any other relatives except his mother.

But at least he had enjoyed his mother's love and protection, so he naturally felt pity for Xiang An, who was a few years younger than him.

In order to give milk to Xiang An, who was still a baby, Xiang Ping knelt outside the door of his young wife who had just given birth and begged for help.

Of course, I got beaten up many times and was chased away by people calling me a little hooligan.

But Xiang Ping was very happy to get food for little Xiang'an.

When he had nothing to get, Xiang Ping did think about stealing and robbing, as long as he could get something to eat.

But his upbringing wouldn't allow him to do that.

His mother had been ill for a long time, but she taught him the basics of how to behave and told him the principle of "do not refrain from doing evil, no matter how small it is."

Until his mother died, she told him that he should never steal, even if he starved to death.

As a person, you should be upright and do things with integrity.

Until Xiang An grew up with many bumps and bruises, he heard about many people who did bad things and were shot, and saw many gangsters being beaten to death.

Only then did he understand his mother's teachings.

His mother told him that he should study to gain knowledge.

But they are all hungry, so how can they know what to do?

Later, the bad woman appeared and took the mother away.

Xiang Ping chased for a long way but didn't catch up, so he searched for a long time.

The phrase his mother used to say to him most often was, "If I'm gone one day, you have to be strong and live your life. Xiang Ping, you have to know that you have to be strong. You're not like other children. I can't be your support."

Ever since he could speak, he knew how to live, even if he cried every day.

When the bad woman appeared again, she told him that his mother had died and he had a younger brother.

Her name is Bai Ningwei.

When he came back with the child in his arms, Bai Ningwei saw the books he had found in the garbage dump and burned them.

They said that a person of his low status was not worthy of touching books.

And beat him up.

They threw a child to him and said it was his younger brother, Xiang An.

He was only five years old at the time and was frail due to long-term malnutrition.

Maybe it's because of good genes that my arms and legs are long.

His mother once told him that he was born after ten months of pregnancy.

But Xiang An was brought back by his mother seven months after she disappeared.

Xiang Ping didn't think that this was his mother's born younger brother, but at that time, Xiang An was his wish for survival.
