267 Brick House

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

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

"Xiaoxiao, although those two aren't good people, they're old after all. Don't torture them too much. If something really happens, it won't be good for you."

Gu Xiao smiled and reached out to pat Aunt Fu's hand. "Aunt Fu, don't 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 party's hand.

"I know you're a good child and know your limits. I won't 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 Xiao's personality. If she didn't have a good impression of a person, Gu Xiao definitely wouldn't 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. She's a good person and has a soft personality. She doesn't get along with my parents and grandparents, but seeing that I'm pitiful and living a bad life, she often gives me half a steamed bun and half a bowl of porridge. If not for Aunt Fu's secret help, I don't know if I would have been able to live until now."

"My Uncle Li treats her quite well, but Uncle Li's parents are not good people. They often torture Aunt Fu. Fortunately, Aunt Fu's children are hardworking. Two years ago, Aunt Fu's 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 Li's parents have restrained themselves a lot in the past few years."

If not for the fact that Aunt Fu's daughter had entered a university and brought glory to the Li family, who knew how Uncle Li's 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 I 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 Xiao's shoulders and whispered in her ear, "Don't 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 An's hand, as if she wanted to confirm Chu An's existence, but also as if she wanted to absorb power from Chu An.

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

He quickly retracted his gaze and comforted Gu Xiao. "Don't be afraid. I'm 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 flashing in her mind. In the end, it was Chu An's voice that pulled her out of her memories.

Gu Xiao looked up at Chu An. After meeting Chu An's gaze, she knew that she wasn't alone now.

She whispered to Chu An, "Let's 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 didn't 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?"
