Chapter 479: Too many beasts, we have to deal with them
The children gathered around, and the adults had no choice but to follow. Some wanted to take the children away, but the children would cry when they did. In the end, Lu Qi and Gu Qingshi were surrounded.
Gu Qingshi smiled at them awkwardly, and as expected, they were recognized.
Once they recognized them, everyone was quite enthusiastic. They started talking to them and gave them the food they had brought.
Seeing that more and more people were gathering, the children were about to fight for Gu Qingshi. Gu Qingshi and Lu Yuan could only run away with Dahuang. The children cried even more while running. Gu Qingshi was helpless, but he had no choice but to speed up.
Unexpectedly, there was a child chasing them. It was a girl of eight or nine years old. She was carrying a child on her back and kept chasing them without saying a word.
She was very thin and was carrying a child. Gu Qingshi was afraid that she would fall, so he stopped her and said, "Little sister, don't fall. You kept chasing me. Is there something wrong?"
This little girl did have something to do, but she actually wanted Gu Qingshi to recruit her to work in the factory. She said that she had been there before, but was not hired because she was too young and did not meet the recruitment requirements.
When she was pursuing Gu Qingshi, she wanted Gu Qingshi to make an exception, "Sister, I will definitely work hard. Although I am young, I can do a lot of work and I am strong. Please accept me."
The clothes on the little girl were obviously ill-fitting and had patches on them. She was very thin, and the child on her back was also very thin. Because they were too thin, their eyes looked very big. They chewed their fingers and looked at Gu Qingshi listlessly.
Gu Qingshi took a few glances and knew that the child looked listless and might be hungry.
"If you want to work in the factory, you must be an adult. Are you orphans?" Gu Qingshi asked hesitantly.
The light in the little sister's eyes went out and she shook her head, "No."
She said sorry, and stepped aside without further ado as she saw no hope, but Gu Qingshi couldn't go on.
"Little sister, is there any difficulty at home that makes you want to go to the factory? Where are your family members? Have you stopped going to school?"
The little girl shook her head and didn't want to say more. But the auntie who was in charge of cleaning the park interrupted and said, "Kid, just tell me when they ask you. Maybe they'll make an exception and let you in because they feel sorry for you."
Gu Qingshi looked over and asked, "Aunt, do you know them?"
"Yes, I know her. She lives nearby. She brings her sister to the park every day to look for discarded food."
The little girl bit her lip and whispered, "I have never stolen anything."
"I didn't say you stole anything. Alas, she has a miserable life." The aunt told Gu Qingshi what she knew. Gu Qingshi frowned when he heard it. It happened that he had not had time to eat the food he brought, so he hurriedly took out the food and let her eat.
The little sister didn't want to eat it yet, but because the fruits were taken out of the space, she couldn't help it, and her sister couldn't help eating it either.
Gu Qingshi looked at them wolfing down their food and said, "Eat slowly." He smiled, but couldn't help but sigh secretly.
This little girl's life was really hard. Her mother died during childbirth, and then her father remarried. The new mother didn't like them and didn't care about them or allow them to eat. She could only take her sister around to find food every day. When her sister was a baby, she had to take her sister around to ask for milk. Even when she grew up a little, she still had to take her with her and she would quietly go back home to sleep at night.
The place where they slept was a narrow kitchen, but sleeping here came with a price, which was that they had to work. She did all the housework, including cooking, washing dishes, doing laundry, and cleaning.
She works like a slave to serve the family, but often doesn't have enough food to eat, so she has to find ways to eat outside. Many people come to the park for picnics, and although everyone basically finishes their food and doesn't waste it, there are sometimes some that are not finished, and she picks up the food that is not wanted to eat.
But such opportunities are hard to come by. She is so thin because she is hungry and full. Her sister is malnourished and very thin. Sometimes she doesn't even have the strength to cry.
She just wanted to feed her sister and support herself, so she wanted to work in a factory.
In fact, she went to school when her mother was alive, and her grades were very good, with 100 points in all exams. But now that her mother is gone, she can no longer go to school.
Her grandparents didn't care about her, after all, she was a money-loser.
She knew about Gu Qingshi from a newspaper that was thrown away by someone else's house. After reading the report about her, she liked Gu Qingshi at first sight, so that's why she tried to win her over.
After finishing the food given by Gu Qingshi, the little girl felt embarrassed and grateful. She wanted to thank Gu Qingshi so much that she wanted to cook for her and wash her clothes for three days.
"You don't have to keep saying thank you." Gu Qingshi touched her head, "Do you want to go to school?"
The little girl's eyes were dim. She wanted to go to school. She liked going to school very much, but she couldn't go.
"If you want to go to school, I can let you go. When you graduate, you can come to work for me. Are you willing?"
"I do!" The little girl's eyes lit up, "But..."
"As long as you are willing." When Gu Qingshi saw the little girl, he thought of himself. Although their situations were different, they were similar.
Her father was still alive, so it was impossible for her to go to an orphanage, but her life was worse than anyone else's, and she worked very hard to go to school.
But her situation was a little better, in that she didn't have a younger sister to raise.
It would have been fine if she hadn't met him, but when she met Gu Qing, she couldn't just stand by and watch. Seeing that the child was sensible, she decided to sponsor her schooling, giving her another possibility, which was also a life-saving measure.
If she didn't care, Gu Qingshi didn't know how long she and her sister could live.
The little girl felt dizzy and thought that she might be dreaming, otherwise how could she eat such delicious food and hear the news that she could go to school.
But later she really went back to school and had new clothes and a new schoolbag. Even her younger sister had food and drink, and someone was taking care of her.
She and her sister were taken to a children's rescue center, where they were told they would live temporarily and that there might be other children in the future.
The little girl spent a few days in heaven, and she didn't want to wake up. Until she saw Gu Qing again, she was asked if she wanted to go home and whether she would miss her father or grandparents.
The little girl shook her head without even thinking about it. She wouldn't even think about it. If possible, she didn't want to see them for the rest of her life.
Gu Qingshi touched her head and said, "Okay, as you wish."
This was actually quite troublesome, but it was later achieved with the help of Lu Yuan. The girl's biological father and stepmother were not good people, but their conditions were actually good, and they both worked in factories or units.
Although they usually ignore their two children, they dare not show it to others. If they want to continue working and live a stable life, they must give up their two children completely.
The two burdens were abandoned without a doubt. As for how their family suffered after the loss of the little girls, and how much they regretted it when the two little girls became more successful, that is all a story for later.
