Mo Beihan did not say anything as Chen Qingqing was a girl. It was easier for Gu Qingyao to communicate with her.

Gu Qingyao smiled, “It’s okay, Qing Qing. What do you do at the capital?”

Chen Qingqing said, “We came over not long ago and were trying to find jobs. My brother is working at a rice company. It’s difficult for me to find a job as I’m still underage. Most places don’t want to hire me. Currently, I’m washing dishes in a small restaurant. The owner pitied me and offered me the job.”

Gu Qingyao nodded. They were both young, and they arrived at the capital recently. Without an educational background, this was the type of job available to them.

“The jobs can only afford your food and rent. There’s nothing left after paying for those, am I right? Do you still want to study?”

Chen Qingqing lowered her head.

“Sister Gu, I’m so sorry. My brother and I did not meet the expectation you set for us in the past. We studied all the books you gave us, but… after we met Yuan Yuan, my brother spent all the money we had to treat us when Yuan Yuan and I were injured. We even borrowed money from others. We struggled to return all our debt these years and then came to the capital.

“My brother and I are healthy and fit to work, so it shouldn’t be a problem to sustain our lives. However, Yuan Yuan’s head injury was not cured. She still could not remember anything. We were worried and consulted a doctor. He told us that she might be in danger if she did not receive proper treatment. All the money we saved in the past few years was used to pay for medical bills. Yuan Yuan is still young. We need to take care of her, but we don’t have the ability to carry on studying.”

Study!

How would she not want to study?

The both of them grew up together with the children of the Gu family. Everyone in the Gu family loved to study. Under such influence, they also looked forward to studying.

They knew that entering a university was the only way to change their lives for children living in poverty.

But they had no choice as they had to take care of Zhong Bingyuan. It was impossible for them to go and study.

Gu Qingyao said, “Both you and your brother have studied before. The foundation is still there. It’s not too late to start again. Your brother is still young; he can still take the university entry exam next year.

“Your jobs now are tiring but only provide you with low pay. Qing Qing, have you thought of starting a small business?”

Small businesses nowadays were very profitable.

Chen Qingqing was stunned, “I… I don’t know what we can do. And, we don’t have enough startup capital.”

The money they had was just enough for their food. Sometimes, they did not even have enough to buy food. They really had no way to start any business.

Gu Qingyao smiled. “That’s not a problem. I can teach you to make something for you to sell at a store. You can ask your brother to manage the store together with you. After earning enough money, both of you can start studying again next year.”

Chen Qingqing was unable to respond for a long time.

Gu Qingyao stood up and said towards Mo Beihan, “I’ll bring Qing Qing to buy something and teach her afterwards. Brother Beihan, if you have something on, you can go back first.”

Mo Beihan shrugged his shoulders and said, “I’m having breaks these few days, and I’ll just accompany you. Where do you want to go? I can drive you over.”

Gu Qingyao looked at Chen Qingqing and asked, “Is there any alley that sells stuff? Simple stuff like rice, flour and cooking utensils.”

Chen Qingqing replied, “Yes, there’s one nearby. I don’t think the car can enter.. There are all kinds of necessities.”
