Rebirth: Divine Doctor, Sweet Wife

Chapter 253: Jiang Xun’s Visit (4)

Jiang Xun nodded. “That’s right. He really looks alike. I don’t know if that child is from somewhere near the Qing River Brigade. An auntie carried him to the Gu family to treat his sickness. He is running a fever.”

Jiang Ping looked at the two little ones. “Can it be Mu Mu’s relatives? Uh… Relatives from uncle’s family?”

The expression in Jiang Jing and Mu Mu’s eyes became serious instantly and they could not help but look expectant.

Both of them did not have any parents and were very young thus they did not have any sense of security and really wanted to have family members.

It was fine even if it was just a relative!

Jiang Xun frowned as he never heard that there’s anyone in his uncle’s family. His uncle seemed to have said that he was saved by Jiang Xun’s aunt back then and don’t remember who else is left in his family.

Jiang Xun knew nothing about this and really could not ascertain if that was Mu Mu’s relative.

Mu Mu immediately rushed to the corner where they slept in and took out a photograph hidden under the pillow. “Cousin, Father’s photograph. If they are Father’s relatives, they would definitely recognize Father.”

After all, Mu Mu was only five years old and really longed to have a family. He no longer remembered how his mother looked and the only picture he could see was his father’s photograph.

Jiang Xun’s smile turned bitter when he saw the expectant look in the child’s eyes.

Jiang Jing pulled Mu Mu over and said, “Mu Mu, hold your photograph properly. Don’t let it touch the fire. We only have this one photograph.”

Mu Mu turned around and tilted his head upward to look at his brother. “Elder brother, are you not happy? It’s Father’s kin! We may have a relative already!”

Jiang Jing forced a smile.

Of course, he was happy to have a relative but would they acknowledge them?

Would they give them a family?

Everyone’s life was extremely tough right now and many families could not even raise their own children. Would they even be willing to raise them?

Mu Mu was very smart. When he noticed his elder brother’s expression, he noticed something instantly and the light in his black orbs faded greatly.

Jiang Xun could not bear the sight and comforted, “Mu Mu, don’t be sad. I will find a chance to go there and find out more about it. What if they’re really uncle’s relatives?

“Your father is such a good man and his family probably won’t be bad either. Even if they are not raising you and your brother, they may be willing to look out for you all too. Who knows?

“If possible, I will bring you all to live there but I will raise you all. We will still be the same as now and live by ourselves. But with relatives in front of us and some protection from them, we will not be bullied like this anymore. Aunt Gu is there as well so at least we have some backing. Right?”

Mu Mu and Jiang Jing’s eyes lit up, causing Jiang Xun to feel a pang of sadness.

They were both kids but the Poplar Brigade was too messy and there were many bad people. They desperately worked for work points to exchange for food and still had to worry if it would be stolen by those bad people.

They dared not steal openly and thus did so in secret. Over the past few years, they had been extremely cautious when eating.

If adults looked out for them slightly, life would be much easier.

On the other side, about half an hour after Jiang Xun left the Gu family, Li Dahai arrived at the Gu family courtyard.

The Li family was really turning into a mess thus even though the sun was about to set, they chased Li Dahai out of the house for him to bring Gu Yunshuang back.

When Li Dahai reached the house, the medicine that Mo Chengxu took had slowly begun to take effect. Seeing that his fever subsided gradually, Jiang Yingqiu was finally at ease and she carried Mo Chengxu to return.
