Over the past two years, in order to provide them with food, their mother endured her physical discomfort and did heavy work, earning ten work points every day. All the hard work of washing clothes and cooking for the Gu family was done by their mother and the three siblings.
The mother and her two children did the most tiring work, but could not get a bite to eat.
There was no place for them to stay in the Gu family, so they had to sleep in a simple woodshed. In previous years, during the cold winter, the mother and her two children huddled together and struggled to get through the winter.
When Dad is around, he will protect Mom and them, and Grandma's family won't get any advantage.
Dad and Mom loved each other very much and loved her and her younger brother very much. Dad knew everything and took care of all the housework. The new house they lived in was built by Dad himself. The family lived happily for two years until Dad left for something and there has been no news of him since. Since then, the mother and her two children fell from heaven to hell.
Their new house full of memories was forcibly occupied by their grandmother, who even took away the savings that their father left for their mother.
From that moment on, they never had a full meal again.
They ended up in such a miserable state, but their grandmother's family still didn't let them go. They spread rumors saying that their father was a heartless man named Chen Shimei, and called their mother ugly, saying that she was a bastard and that no one wanted her because she was not decent, and that she deserved to be abandoned. They also provoked their mother by saying that their father had found a beautiful wife in the city and was living a carefree life, and that he no longer wanted their mother and them.
"Dad, where are you? Mom is sick. Please come back soon..." The girl cried heartbreakingly, as if all the grievances she had suffered in the past two years were vented. "I can't save Mom or my brother. We are so hungry and can't hold on any longer. How are we going to survive in the future..."
Gu Wanwan deeply felt the pain of separation from her loved ones. All she could do now was to hug the little girl and said, "Your father will come back. Only when your mother stands up on her own can she fight against old lady Gu. As for your mother's illness, it's not a problem. I, your sister, know medical skills. How about I help your mother get well?"
Shen Zhitian suddenly raised her tearful face, and then lowered her head in disappointment, "But we have no money."
Gu Wanwan smiled and said, "No money."
After making sure that Gu Wanwan was not joking with her, Shen Zhitian finally stopped crying, "Why is sister so nice to us? We are very poor and have nothing."
Gu Wanwan said meaningfully, "Maybe we are destined to be together."
Shen Zhitian stared at Gu Wanwan intently, as if remembering something, "Sister is a good person just like the grandparents in the cowshed. They are the only ones in the village who dare to talk to us. Sister looks so much like An An You You..."
Gu Wanwan was stunned for a moment, "Have you seen them?"
Shen Zhitian nodded seriously, "They are twins like us, and are always bullied by Du Niudan and his family. The Du family doesn't give them food to eat. My mother felt sorry for them and saved her own rations for them to eat. They are even more pitiful than us. They have lost both their parents..."
"But we haven't seen them for several days. Youyou was taken away by Du Yongtai a long time ago. I heard that someone in the city wants to adopt a child with good conditions. Anan was taken away by Gao Lefeng in the middle of the night a few days ago. My mother saw it. In the village, only Anan and Youyou dare to accompany us."
"There were also the grandparents in the cowshed. They were very nice people and taught us to read and write. My mother didn't dare get too close to them for fear of scaring them because she had been disfigured since she was a child. She knew that the grandparents in the cowshed had little food, so she often took us to pick wild vegetables and fruits and sent them to them. The grandparents gave money to my mother, but she refused, saying that we were all homeless people."
Gu Wanwan didn't expect that the mother and her two children would have an intersection with the twins. It seems that everything is destined. She stood up holding Shen Zhitian. Although the girl was five years old, she was severely stunted and looked like she was three years old. "Let's go down the mountain first, and I'll help you find a solution."
Along the way, Gu Wanwan learned from the girl how bad Mrs. Gu's family was.
"Mrs. Gu has occupied the house your father built. Do you want to take it back? Even if you can't take it back, you have to make them pay rent. If they don't, tear the house down. Don't let those ungrateful people get away with it. But the prerequisite is that your mother dares to resist. Well, wait until I see your mother before I tell you."
Suddenly, three pheasants flapped their wings and flew past them.
"Sister, it's a pheasant..."
Gu Wanwan was not in a hurry. She pulled out a whip from her bag and swung it. With a snap, three pheasants were whipped and fell to the ground, motionless.
Shen Zhitian's eyes sparkled with admiration, "Sister is so amazing."
Gu Wanwan put the little girl down, picked up the three pheasants on the ground, and took out six eggs from where the pheasants flew out. "It seems like we are in for a treat today."
When Shen Zhitian wasn't paying attention, she took out a backpack from the space and put the pheasant and eggs in it.
Shen Zhitian didn't think there was anything wrong. She often picked up baskets in the mountains, which were dropped by people who went up the mountain to collect mountain products.
The little guy worked very efficiently and helped Gu Wanwan dig wild vegetables and put them on the backpack.
After Gu Wanwan had covered it, she took Shen Zhitian out of the mountains and reunited with Zheng Shican and others.
Seeing that Gu Wanwan had not returned for a long time, Hu Zhiming turned around and was about to go down the mountain to find the captain, but was stopped by Zheng Shican's voice, "Wanwan is back, they are safe."
"Sister!" Shen Nianyu struggled off Hu Zhiming and ran towards the two of them excitedly. He rushed all the way to Gu Wanwan and knelt down in front of her with a plop. If Gu Wanwan hadn't stopped him, the little guy would have kowtowed.
Gu Wanwan put the little girl down and decisively pulled the little boy up, "Your sister was almost eaten by a tiger just now. You are not allowed to go into the mountains alone again."
