Chapter 583 Two Brothers
Yu Xiaoye is seven years old this year. Her mother, who came from a commoner background, did not awaken and died after giving birth to her. Her father and two uncles raised her.
He could have died during a raid by a mercenary group. He should have been taken in and raised by the mercenary group members, or sent to a federal orphanage.
She was, after all, a girl, and would have been well taken care of as she grew up. However, during the transfer, the spaceship she was on encountered space pirates.
This was no ordinary attack; they wanted the life of an important person on the spaceship, so the spaceship was destroyed.
Yu Xiaoye was rescued by being ejected from a child rescue pod and accidentally fell onto a garbage planet. He was picked up by his older brother Yu Xiaoshu and his grandfather because he was wearing a leaf-shaped energy stone around his neck.
So Yu Xiaoshu named her Yu Xiaoye, though her real name should be Yang Ye. For safety reasons, Old Man Yu always dressed the child as a boy.
After all, as mentioned before, girls are a kind of resource in this world, and how can those who have no power or influence protect resources?
But no one cared about a small, thin boy who was almost impossible to awaken.
Yu Xiaoshu's grandfather also passed away last year. Before that, he made a living by scavenging garbage in trash cans. With the old man gone, life has become even more difficult for the two children.
Upon hearing about the selection process for companionship, the brother and sister signed up together. If they were selected, it would be a great stroke of luck; if they weren't, neither of them would live to adulthood.
Fortunately, both of them were selected, but during the initial physical examination, it was discovered that Yu Xiaoye was a girl.
The two children were terrified, fearing they would be separated. They suspected Yu Xiaoye was being sold to someone to have a child or to undergo some kind of awakening experiment.
But both of them felt very lucky that they didn't encounter such a thing. This companion selection was a genuine companion selection, and it wasn't used as an excuse to do anything illegal.
Although they were initially drawn to Gu Qing because of her reputation as a purifier, they had seen far too much of what lay at the bottom of society, with many people dying or going missing every day.
They wouldn't have made this choice if they weren't desperate, so vigilance is almost an instinct.
They had already decided that even if they weren't selected, they would still live here, at least they would have security and wouldn't be constantly facing robbery or murder.
As for growing up to serve this planet, isn't that just a matter of course? Even if they grew up smoothly on a garbage planet, finding a stable job would be very difficult.
Now everything is resolved; to them, it's like a windfall.
But no one expected that Yu Xiaoye would be chosen by Bo Chaoguang. At the time, Butler Bo just thought that their young master would also choose a partner when he grew up, so he took her along to join in the fun.
Who knew that when these people were interviewing people one by one, this young master immediately chose this girl. He not only clung to her and wouldn't let go, but he would cry if he couldn't see her when they were separated.
Butler Bo always felt that it was he who brought the young master here that caused the trouble. When he talked to the young master Bo Chuan about it, he only received the reply that it should be left to the madam to handle.
He was even more frightened. Although the lady usually seemed kind and gentle, he knew perfectly well how she treated Butler Yan.
He knew he wouldn't get away with it if his wife returned. So, ever since she came back today, he'd been anxiously considering taking Yu Xiaoye away temporarily.
But the young master wouldn't have it; he would cry and make a fuss if he couldn't see anyone.
He was frantic and helpless, and now that his wife had caught him, he could only stand outside the door, anxiously awaiting her punishment.
"Little Tree, is it okay if I call you that? Come, sit down next to Auntie and let's chat." After the two children sat down, Gu Qing took out some fruit from her spatial storage and placed it in front of them.
But before they could reach out, Bo Chaoguang crawled over on all fours, but before his hands could reach the fruit plate, his two older sisters each dragged one of his feet back.
Yu Xiaoye felt a pang of sympathy. She leaned forward but couldn't see that Gu Qing hadn't said anything, instead just smiling at her, so she stopped.
Youning came over, took a fruit that he could eat, and stuffed it into his hand for him to gnaw on. Only then did Bo Chaoguang quiet down.
"I wonder what you and your siblings think about the future."
Children from interstellar planets develop steadily and rapidly, while those raised on garbage planets are more worldly-wise and sophisticated than the original owner of this body. Therefore, she believes the two children can understand what she's saying.
