As Liu Qing said, Xiao Weiguo's past behavior was indeed that, in the eyes of outsiders, he was a good-for-nothing who didn't even care about his brothers and sisters.
But Liu Ye, who grew up with Xiao Weiguo, understood that the reason Xiao Weiguo acted that way was because the sudden loss of his parents had dragged him directly from heaven to hell.
With no one left to rely on, all the burdens fell on the shoulders of a fourteen-year-old boy. How could he not be terrified?
He has four younger siblings who depend on him for everything. Can he handle that responsibility?
At that time, he had not yet entered society and could not even support himself. He also had to think about how to keep his younger siblings alive. Could he bear it?
Liu Ye clearly remembered that Xiao Weiguo was not like that when he was a child. Back then, he was lively and active, very smart, and always ranked first in his class. Even Liu Ye, who was recognized as a talented girl by everyone, was slightly inferior to him.

And his actions this morning: facing a plague patient he had never met before, he was not worried about being infected himself, but instead carried the person to the township health center without hesitation.
Isn't that remarkable? How many people could do that?
You have to understand that this was the plague, a disease that terrified people. Ordinary people would be lucky not to run far away if they heard about it. Let alone carrying someone and running for several kilometers.
These instincts, hidden deep within him, were perhaps not even noticed by Xiao Weiguo himself, but the observant Liu Ye saw them all.
She sighed and said softly to her younger brother, "Liu Qing, you don't understand him. He's not as bad as you think."
