Chapter 422: Gu Yunshu Is Very Poor
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Actually, Yunshu came to school in a carriage every day. There were also servants at home. Originally, no one would associate him with a dilapidated house.
But Gu Yunshu said that he was poor every day and was saving copper coins every day.
He even promoted his school bag and told others that he was helping the auntie next door in the village expand business. He would collect ten copper coins as the errand fee.
He found every opportunity to say that his eldest sister was the only one in the family who had worked hard to support the family. He had not found his father yet. He wanted to earn money to find his father and treat his mother. He originally planned to owe the tuition fee. Unfortunately, the heartless headmaster of the academy actually did not agree. He almost did not want to come to school, but his eldest sister said that she would pay for him no matter what.
In order not to let his sister down, he could only come to the school to work hard.
Back then, Gao Chengying had also said that their family’s conditions were not good, but the poverty that everyone imagined was completely different from what they had really seen. After such a huge shock, coupled with Yunshu’s repeated emphasis, these young and inexperienced students naturally felt that… Yunshu might be the poorest child in their school.
It was too pitiful. Her elder sister was a heroine. Not only did she provide for Yunshu, but she also sent her cousin over.
As for the carriage, they heard from Yunshu that the villagers had to pay for the travel expenses when they took the carriage. It should be a tool for their family to earn money. Also, the clothes of Gu Yunshu’s eldest sister, whom they had seen at Jinxiu Restaurant last time, should be her best clothes.
Thus, when Gu Yunshu and Bian Yuanzhi returned to class, they met everyone’s sympathetic gazes.
Yunshu was speechless. Why did everyone look at him differently after he was gone for a while? Could it be that they had some thoughts about him?
Xia Yue even walked up to him and patted his small shoulder heavily. He said, “Yunshu, actually, we don’t have high requirements for food and accommodation. For your birthday, longevity noodles are enough.”
Gu Yunshu thought about it and nodded in agreement. “Yes, I didn’t even have eggs in the past. This is my first birthday celebration. I can finally eat longevity noodles.”
At the thought of this, he couldn’t help but swallow his saliva. He didn’t know what was the difference between longevity noodles and ordinary noodles. They should taste better.
Everyone immediately felt that this child was too pitiful. Even Gao Chengying walked over and held his hand sympathetically. “We can eat less.”
Gu Yunshu’s eyes lit up. He held his hand. “You’re the best.”
Bian Yuanzhi blinked in confusion. Why did this conversation seem a little strange?
Liu Yi was also feeling strange.
Although he had never been to Yongfu Village, his brother had been there. Moreover, his brother had stayed there for more than half a month.
If the living conditions were really that bad, would he be reluctant to come back? Would he brag about how great the Gu family was every day?
However, on second thought, Big Brother had a strange personality. Perhaps he liked houses that were leaky?
Hence, Liu Yi did not think too much about it.
On the other hand, Yi Junkun, being the oldest among them, could not help but sigh when he saw that everyone’s thoughts had gone astray.
He only reminded everyone to be careful with their words and not make a fuss. He didn’t say that Yunshu’s family was so poor that they couldn’t even afford noodles. What were these little ones thinking? Wake up, okay?
If Gu Yunshu’s family was really so poor, why would he have servants?!
