But he always remembered his brother, his gentleness, and the desperate look in his eyes when he saw him being taken away.
Some people say that Liang'er is cute and lively, even carefree, but he knows that he is not. He just hides all his worries deep in his heart and disguises himself with a smile.
Keep your head up so that the tears in your eyes won't fall. Smile more so that others won't see your sadness. Only in this way can you pretend that you are still very happy.
Brother, his little brother...
Liang'er hugged Zhang Xiuyuan's waist, leaned in his arms, and cried like a helpless child.
Zhang Xiuyuan didn't understand why Liang'er suddenly cried, but he heard the low but tender voice of "brother" that was filled with countless longing.
He felt the strong sadness in the boy, who was like a helpless child who was afraid of being abandoned.
"Liang'er, be good and don't cry. Don't cry." Zhang Xiuyuan felt sorry for the little boy and patted his back gently.
Qing'er had not recovered yet and was still half lying on the bed. Looking at this scene, he thought he probably guessed something.
Liang'er's little brother, he had heard Liang'er say that.
I remember when Liang'er first came to Chunmanyuan, he cried and cried because of fear and separation, and in return he was severely beaten by the brothel owner. Once he was beaten to the point of being on the verge of death and had a high fever. In his coma, he kept shouting "little brother, little brother".
Later, he couldn't bear it anymore and took the initiative to take on the task of teaching Liang'er.
At that time, he had wanted to help Liang'er escape, but failed. Besides, a six-year-old child wandering outside alone might not be as good as being in Chunmanyuan.
Liang'er stayed. At first, the little guy didn't want to talk. Later, when they got to know each other better, he kept talking about his little brother.
In Xiao Liang'er's heart, his little brother is the best person in the world. He will carry him on his back when he is tired of walking; he will use the few copper coins he begged for to buy candied haws for him to eat; he will go to the restaurant to wash dishes all day long just for the chef to give him a small piece of braised pork, which he would bring back to him like a treasure; when he is sick, he will carry him on his back and run many streets to find a doctor to treat him.
Qing'er thought that Liang'er probably saw the shadow of his younger brother in Zhang Xiuyuan.
It would be great if there was one more person to care for and love Liang'er.
As for Liang'er's suggestion that Zhao Chuchu redeem him while he stays in Chunmanyuan, Qing'er would not agree.
To him, Liang'er is just his younger brother. How could an older brother abandon his younger brother?
Fortunately, things went much more smoothly than they had imagined.
The next day, the madam came to the inn and brought two indentures.
Zhao Chuchu immediately gave the madam one hundred taels of silver and tore up the two indentures on the spot. From then on, Qing'er and Liang'er were free.
With the care of several people, Qing'er's health gradually recovered.
That day, as soon as Zhao Chuchu and Zhang Xiuyuan entered the house, Qing'er suddenly made a gesture to kneel down.
The two were startled and quickly helped him up, but Qing'er still bowed deeply.
"Thank you for helping me and Liang'er. If it weren't for you, I might have died, and Liang'er would still be struggling in Chunmanyuan. You two are great benefactors to Liang'er and me. If you need me, Qing'er will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Zhao Chuchu raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh," "I came here today because I really have some difficulties. I need your and Liang'er's help."
