Chapter 1073 Life Story (1)
"My father died, and my mother remarried. That man didn't like me and always beat me. My mother was pregnant with my younger brother and wouldn't help me, so I ran away."
"Tiedan is the opposite of me. His mother died and his father married a stepmother. The stepmother didn't like him and didn't even give him food. Later, the stepmother became pregnant with his father's child. I secretly heard his stepmother tell his father that she wanted to sell him, so he ran away." said the older child.
"I'm different from them. My parents are dead and no one wants me." Mu Tou said with a smile.
Ji Xiaomu looked at his smile that pretended to be indifferent and rubbed his head with heartache.
Mu Tou was stunned and lowered his head.
"As for Glutton, we don't know where he came from. He was sick when I picked him up! When he woke up, he didn't remember anything. I gave him the name Glutton." said the older child.
"Because he eats so much!" Tiedan said helplessly.
"What about Xiaoya?" asked Ji Xiaomu curiously.
"...She is a girl who was thrown on the street by her father. I picked her up." The older child glanced at the younger girl, who was holding on to her brother's clothes, looking very dependent.
"Are you just relying on stealing to support them?" asked Ji Xiaomu, looking at the older child.
"I also tried to find a job, but they bullied me because I was a child and refused to pay me." The older child said angrily. He had been cheated many times and finally had no choice but to snatch money bags from people on the street.
If he was caught, the worst that could happen was that he would be beaten up. If he was not caught, he could have a good meal with his younger brothers and sisters.
Fang Chen looked at the older boy and put his hand on his head.
The older boy saw the tenderness and complexity in Fang Chen's eyes. No one had ever looked at him like that before. For some reason, his nose felt sore and he quickly lowered his head.
"Stay here and help me with my work, okay?" Ji Xiaowu smiled at them. "There will be no wages, but I can give you enough food every day."
"Great!!!" When they heard that they could have a full meal, the children's eyes immediately lit up, and they shouted for fear that Mother Ji couldn't hear them.
"What do you want us to do?" asked the older child.
"You are still too young, we have to raise you for a while, and then you can do things when you are older!" Ji Xiaowu said with a smile. "But don't think it is easy, you have to learn a lot of things, such as reading and writing, and it is not easy at all."
"We can do it!" The older boy puffed out his chest and said he would do it no matter how difficult it was.
Mother Ji brought the five little ones to one room, intending to let them sleep two to a room. However, when the five children heard that it was their room, they jumped into bed without saying a word and slept together.
Seeing how dependent they were on each other, Ji Xiaomu couldn't bear to separate them, so she walked out of the room to let them rest.
After Ji Xiaomu left, the other children fell asleep on the soft and warm bed.
"Brother! Are you asleep?" Tiedan asked, pulling his brother's clothes.
"No." The older child shook his head.
The bed was so comfortable that he was afraid to sleep on it.
"Brother, do you think we can trust them? Will they harm us?" Tiedan felt uneasy. It all seemed like a dream and he felt uneasy.
Such a big house can give them enough food to eat and a big bed for them to sleep on. It is more beautiful than a dream.
It's not that it's bad, it's that it's too good.
It feels unreal.
"If they want to harm us, we'll run away!" said the older child.
