When Aunt Fu heard this, she looked at Gu Xiao hesitantly.

After Gu Xiao left with Chu An, she hesitantly grabbed Gu Xiaos wrist.

Xiaoxiao, although those two arent good people, theyre old after all. Dont torture them too much. If something really happens, it wont be good for you.

Gu Xiao smiled and reached out to pat Aunt Fus hand. Aunt Fu, dont worry. That kind of person is not worth dirtying my hand.

When Aunt Fu heard this, she took a deep look at Gu Xiao and sighed in her heart. She still let go of the other partys hand.

I know youre a good child and know your limits. 1 wont say anything else. You just have to be careful.

Aunt Fu, I know.

With that, she nodded at Aunt Fu before leaving with Chu An.

After walking for a while, and those people from before had disappeared from sight, Chu An asked in a low voice, Who is that Aunt Fu?

Previously, Gu Xiao was willing to interact with Aunt Fu because it was just Aunt Fu in the beginning. However, Gu Xiao still ignored all the villagers who walked over later. She was talking to only Aunt Fu the whole time.

Chu An knew Gu Xiaos personality. If she didnt have a good impression of a person, Gu Xiao definitely wouldnt be as close to her as she was just now.

When Gu Xiao heard this, she stopped in her tracks and her gaze landed on the houses in the village.

After a while, she said, Aunt Fu is our next-door neighbor. Shes a good person and has a soft personality. She doesnt get along with my parents and grandparents, but seeing that Im pitiful and living a bad life, she often gives me half a steamed bun and half a bowl of porridge. If not for Aunt Fus secret help, 1 dont know if 1 would have been able to live until now.

My Uncle Li treats her quite well, but Uncle Lis parents are not good people. They often torture Aunt Fu. Fortunately, Aunt Fus children are hardworking. Two years ago, Aunt Fus daughter got into university and was the first female university student in our village. Her son also entered a key high school with good results. For the sake of the two children, Uncle Lis parents have restrained themselves a lot in the past few years.

If not for the fact that Aunt Fus daughter had entered a university and brought glory to the Li family, who knew how Uncle Lis mother would treat Aunt Fu!

Thinking of this, Gu Xiao sighed.

She could not help Aunt Fu much, and she could not let Aunt Fu leave because of her mother-in-law. After all, Uncle Li treated Aunt Fu quite well, and Aunt Fu also wanted to stay with Uncle Li.

I can only think about whether 1 can find a chance to help Aunt Fu in the future, Gu Xiao said softly.

As Chu An listened, he clearly sensed that the atmosphere around Gu Xiao was a little cold.

He put his arm around Gu Xiaos shoulders and whispered in her ear, Dont worry! There will be a chance.

After walking for a while, they saw a brick house standing on the road.

Gu Xiao stopped in her tracks and looked at the house. She slightly tightened her grip on Chu Ans hand, as if she wanted to confirm Chu Ans existence, but also as if she wanted to absorb power from Chu An.

Chu An noticed the change in Gu Xiaos mood. He held Gu Xiaos hand and followed her gaze.

He quickly retracted his gaze and comforted Gu Xiao. Dont be afraid. Im here.

The moment she saw that house, Gu Xiao seemed to have returned to the days when she was young and was casually beaten and scolded.

She only felt her vision go black, and images kept flas.h.i.+ng in her mind. In the end, it was Chu Ans voice that pulled her out of her memories.

Gu Xiao looked up at Chu An. After meeting Chu Ans gaze, she knew that she wasnt alone now.

She whispered to Chu An, Lets go over!

Gu Xiao and Chu An walked towards the house.

At this moment, the door to the courtyard of the house was wide open. Gu Xiao didnt knock and directly walked in with Chu An.

In the small courtyard sat a little fatty who looked to be in his teens. He was focused on playing a game and would shout from time to time.

Gu Xiao looked at the child in front of her and frowned slightly. Her voice was cold.. Gu Cheng, where are your grandparents?
