"Xiao Le!!"
Gu Nian shouted heartbrokenly.
Xiao Le's lips turned pale, and she collapsed unconsciously in Gu Nian's arms.
This child was already weak. He must have been carrying a heavy bag and walked a lot. I don't know if he was malnourished, which caused hypoglycemia.
"Aunt, has Xiaole eaten in the morning?" Gu Nian turned around and asked eagerly.
When her aunt saw this, she was also shocked, but when faced with Gu Nian's questioning, she hesitated for a long time and couldn't explain why.
"Um, eating...should...should have been eaten before, right?"
Obviously, aunt didn't know Xiaole's situation in the morning.
After all, early in the morning, my uncle and his two sons took Xiao Le out to work as coolies.
But her aunt has been staying at home. After they went outside, she naturally didn't know how Xiaole was treated.
Gu Nian felt a tightness in his chest, but now was not the time to care. Saving his brother was the most important thing.
So Gu Nian searched frantically in the two bags Xiao Le originally brought up. Sure enough, there were a lot of fruit snacks inside.
Gu Nian took out a banana, peeled it, and carefully brought it to Xiao Le's mouth, who was already in a daze.
"Be good, Xiaole, open your mouth and eat this banana. Your blood sugar will rise after eating it."
At this time, the youngest son of his aunt's family was still unhappy and took the banana directly from Gu Nian, muttering in his mouth.
"The banana is mine! Why give it to him! I didn't let him eat enough in the morning and robbed him of his breakfast."
The younger son's words clearly revealed what Xiao Le had experienced today.
Xiao Le already has diabetes. Once he doesn't eat breakfast, his blood sugar will become unstable. In addition, he is asked to carry heavy things, which makes him even more exhausted, so he has an acute attack.
Gu Nian didn't even have to think about this situation, it should have happened many times.
When the aunt and uncle heard their youngest son's rude words, they betrayed the couple and revealed the fact that Xiao Le was not taken care of in their home.
He also felt unjust and didn't know how to face Gu Nian for a while.
After all, Gu Nian would pay them the expenses for taking care of Xiao Le on time every month, but in fact, they did not spend the full amount of money on Xiao Le.
Even the fruit snacks I bought in the supermarket today were actually paid for by my uncle who misappropriated the money that Gu Nian called.
The aunt pulled her son's arm hard and shut him up.
"Um, Niannian, look, even if this kid Xiaole gets sick suddenly like this, we don't know..."
Aunt wanted to explain something.
But Gu Nian ignored it for the time being. There was no other expression on his face except worry. After all, there was nothing more important than Xiao Le's health at the moment.
After eating the banana, Xiao Le regained some strength and gradually opened his eyes.
"Sister...sister, you are back."
"Xiao Le, you finally woke up!"
Seeing that Xiao Le regained consciousness, Gu Nian breathed a sigh of relief, and then hugged Xiao Le tightly.
"Sister, you hug me so tightly, I... can't even breathe..."
Hearing what Xiao Le said, Gu Nian quickly let go and looked at Xiao Le up and down, left and right, for fear that he might feel uncomfortable in some way.
Only after he was sure it was okay, he carefully helped Xiao Le up slowly.
At this time, my uncle and aunt knew that they were in the wrong, so they wisely made way for them.
Gu Nian helped Xiao Le back into the house, then found Xiao Le's backpack, took out Xiao Le's first aid kit, and gave Xiao Le some insulin.
Until Xiaole's condition slowly returned to stability...
Gu Niancai straightened up and faced her uncle and aunt.
Auntie thought that Gu Nian would want to settle accounts with herself because she didn't take good care of Xiao Le, so she looked a little nervous.
After all, for so long, their family had secretly pocketed a lot of medical expenses sent by Gu Nian to his younger brother.
After all, I felt wrong in my heart.
but……
Gu Nian did not mention this matter.
Instead, she faced her aunt and uncle and bowed deeply.
"Uncle and aunt, during this period, you have taken Xiaole to live at home. You are the benefactors of our siblings."
"We don't have parents to care for us, so we all rely on your help. Thank you very much."
…
Seeing Gu Nian like this, the aunt and uncle looked at each other, and out of shame, they finally had a better attitude.
"Oh, Nian Nian, why are you so isolated from us? As my aunt, I must treat you all as my own children!"
"Xiao Le fell ill today, so we are really embarrassed. But then again, this child really doesn't have enough energy to eat. It's difficult to raise a sick child, so it's very difficult for us..."
Auntie quickly tried to smooth things over and said nice things, for fear that Gu Nian would calculate with them the money she had given them over the years.
At the same time, he did not forget to tell Gu Nian how difficult it was to take care of Xiao Le, so that Gu Nian would be self-aware and not argue with them.
Gu Nian didn't answer, but gave all her energy and remaining tenderness to her brother Xiao Le.
She kept holding Xiao Le's hand tightly, and her eyes were full of her little brother.
Xiao Le's thin palms were light and fluttery. Gu Nian was afraid that if she didn't pay attention, Xiao Le would lose strength again and slip from her hand.
After a long silence, Gu Nian bit her lip and expressed her decision.
"Aunt, I want to take Xiaole away."
When the aunt and uncle heard the news, it should have been an easy thing for them. After all, Gu Nian was finally taking the oil bottle away from his house.
However, the couple was a little hesitant. After all, Gu Nian would send them a lot of money every month specifically to take care of Xiao Le.
In fact, most of the money is not used up, and the couple uses it for their own expenses.
If Gu Nian really takes Xiao Le away, they will no longer be able to take advantage of this advantage, and it will be a considerable loss for them.
The uncle quietly pushed his aunt a few times, motioning for her to come forward and say a few words.
So, my aunt pretended to clear her throat and said:
"Um, Niannian, aren't you working alone in Yuncheng? Where do you have time to take care of Xiaole?"
Auntie asked a very real question. This was not an unsolved problem in Gu Nian's mind.
Originally, Gu Nian wanted to wait until the contractual marriage between herself and Shi Ye ended, then take her brother back to her and take care of him personally.
But now, it seems difficult for her to wait until then.
However, Xiao Le is now eleven years old, and he is at the age to study. If he is taken to Yuncheng rashly, not only will he need special physical care, but it will also be difficult to transfer to another school.
Gu Nian is now unable to protect herself, and she is also living in someone else's home. Everything Shi Ye promised to her can only be fulfilled after the contractual marriage ends.
And she didn't want to trouble Shi Ye anymore, after all...
If the relationship between her and Shi Ye is destined to end, it's best not to rely on him from the beginning, otherwise Gu Nian will become a frog in warm water.
Once the contract ends, she will lose all her willpower to survive on her own.
However, the current reality is here, Gu Nian really has no better way to take care of Xiao Le.
But the days that Xiao Le spent at her aunt's house were all in full view today.
To be honest, Gu Nian's heart was actually quite cold, so Gu Nian couldn't bear to let Xiao Le continue to suffer.
"I'll figure it out myself. I'm going to trouble my aunt and uncle these days."
After saying that, Gu Nian just wanted to help Xiao Le pack his luggage and take him away as soon as possible.
But at this moment, his younger brother Xiao Le grabbed Gu Nian's hand.
Gu Nian turned back to look at Xiao Le, "Xiao Le, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Le smiled brightly at Gu Nian, then grabbed Gu Nian's hand and took off his backpack from her hand.
"Sister, I'm having a good time at my aunt's house. You don't have to worry about me. My aunt and uncle are actually very good to me. I didn't have a good breakfast today, so I had hypoglycemia. It has nothing to do with anyone else. "
"Sister, it's very tiring for you to work outside and earn money alone, so don't worry too much about me..."
Hearing Xiao Le's words, Gu Nian's heart tightened, and the sour feeling that followed almost overwhelmed her.
Gu Nian knew that his brother didn't really want to stay at his aunt's house. He just felt sorry for her and didn't want to hurt her.
Xiao Le is a sensible child. He knows that because of his illness, Gu Nian has to work hard outside to make money. If he really follows Gu Nian to Yuncheng, it will not only affect Gu Nian's work, but also affect his sister's own life.
Although Xiao Le's life at his aunt's house was not easy, and he was bullied by his two cousins almost every day, but for the money that Gu Nian sent him every month, his aunt and uncle at least would not really treat Xiao Le Get kicked out the door.
"Xiao Le..."
Gu Nian gently called his brother's name, and the next words suddenly seemed to be stuck in his throat.
If you want to say it out again, you may have to cry with blood.
Xiao Le gently shook Gu Nian's hand, "Sister, don't worry about me. I know it's not easy for you. You have always been for me."
"Now, let me continue to live like this. This way, you will feel more relaxed, right?"
Gu Nian's tears fell down uncontrollably, and at this moment her heart was as sharp as a knife.
When the aunt saw Xiao Le say these words, it was just as the couple wished.
In fact, taking care of Xiao Le is nothing more than a matter of having multiple pairs of chopsticks for the couple. What's more, Gu Nian pays money every month, so even looking at the money doesn't take much effort.
Anyway, they didn't care much about Xiao Le.
Auntie quickly apologized and said, "Oh, Niannian, you see, Xiaole has said so, so don't be too alienated from us, just let Xiaole live in our house for the time being."
Auntie didn't say the rest directly.
But Gu Nian also understood.
Let Xiao Le continue to live in their home, and Gu Nian's money will continue to go to their home.
Gu Nian knelt down and looked at Xiao Le at eye level. Looking at her sensible brother, she felt only pity in her heart, but she also became more determined.
Although fate had given them two bad cards, Gu Nian did not want to escape.
No matter how difficult it is, she will face it more firmly.
And I secretly vowed in my heart that I would rely on my own strength to make life better and better.
Gu Nian gently touched Xiao Le's face, then slowly stood up and turned to her uncle and aunt.
"Then continue to trouble my aunt and uncle."
Gu Nian bowed to them again.
The aunt and uncle breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the bargain was saved.
But Gu Nian paused again, then took out a bank card from his wallet and placed it in front of his uncle and aunt.
"This is?"
The uncle's eyes lit up when he saw the money.
"There are 100,000 yuan in it. In addition to my monthly payment, I would like to thank my uncle and aunt for the expenses."
One hundred thousand!
This time, the aunt and uncle were completely shocked. They never expected that Gu Nian could get so much money at once.
"Are they really for us?"
The uncle touched his bank card and asked with a smile.
Gu Nian nodded.
"Yes, but I deposited this one hundred thousand for an eight-month period. I can't withdraw it until eight months later. At that time, I will withdraw the principal and interest and give them all to you."
As soon as the uncle heard about the money, he happily forgot about everything and didn't listen carefully to what Gu Nian said. In short, it was only eight months, and the money would be given to them for free by then.
But my aunt was murmuring in her heart.
"One hundred thousand yuan, Gu Nian, this is not a small amount. Where did you get the money?"
