Chapter 87: Let Me Teach You A Trick (1)
Chen Goudan was silent for a long while before he looked at Gu Qingyao and said, “Elder Sister Gu… I want to move out, but… I’m afraid that Eldest Uncle and his family won’t let us go . They’ve already taken the house and my grandmother had nothing . I cannot possibly bring my little sister away without even a place to stay . And the grain hasn’t been distributed yet! I doubt I’ll be able to get any grain from my eldest uncle . ”
Which meant to say that he had already made up his mind to leave, but had not yet thought of a good plan .
Gu Qingyao said, “If you really plan to leave, I think you will certainly succeed . Right now, you and Xiaocao are a burden to your eldest uncle’s family because they have to share their grain with you . They might even think they’ve given you a sizable amount!
“Goudan, if you really want to leave, then forget about your old house . Find an empty house in the brigade and stay there . You should get as far away from them as possible . As for food, Elder Sister Gu guarantees that in the few years before you are grown, I will make sure that Xiaocao will have something to eat . ”
Chen Goudan was stunned!
“Re-really?”
Gu Qingyao smiled . “Certainly! If you think about it, you’re already thirteen years old now . When the new year comes, you’ll be fourteen . Right now, the work points that you get from your work will gain you sufficient grain to pretty much support yourself . In another three to four years’ time, you’ll be a grown man . Then you definitely will have no problem supporting yourself and your little sister .

“It’s just for a few years . Over the next few years, if Cao’er lacks food, I can always make up the shortfall . All you have to do is support yourself, you don’t have to worry about Xiaocao . ”
Gu Qingyao did not say anything about supporting both of them . Because in these times, that kind of talk was unrealistic . Chen Goudan was actually very hardworking . As long as he could be assured that Chen Xiaocao would be taken care of, it would resolve his fears and to him, that was enough .
And that was the most… acceptable!

Chen Goudan was surprised and delighted . “This… Can you really do that? Elder Sister Gu, it’s not easy for your family to get by . I… with the work points which I earn from my work now, I estimate it will take at least two years before I can only support myself and my sister . I…”
Gu Qingyao smiled . “Although my family also has its difficulties, you must remember that I have three older uncles and five older cousins! We have so many people supporting the family! If we pinch our pennies a little, we can support Cao’er for a few years . My older cousins are still unmarried . After a few years, when they marry and have children, then the situation may become a little more difficult . But by then, you would have grown up, right?
“If you are embarrassed, you can slowly repay us when you’re older . I also hope that Xiaocao won’t have to serve such a big family while she is so young, and be beaten all the time . ”

Chen Goudan’s face reddened with excitement . “Thank you, Elder Sister Gu . I… when I grow up, I will repay you . Thank you!”
Gu Qingyao was amused . “No need to thank me . Why don’t you think about how you can avoid a beating when you get home!”
Chen Goudan’s excited little face immediately stiffened .
Gu Qingyao smiled . “I’ll teach you a trick . When you get back and they want to beat you or Xiaocao, just cry, howl and shriek desperately . Don’t resist, just grovel and beg for mercy . You must shout so loudly that everyone in the brigade knows you’re being beaten just because you didn’t bring those few fish and prawns that you caught back home today . Do you understand?”
Chen Goudan was stunned!
