However, he wasn’t his biological son. Xue Yan was adopted by Xue Dafu.
Xue Yan had a photographic memory ever since he was young and was a famous child prodigy in the surrounding villages. Everyone in the surrounding villages knew about the wealthy Xue family because of Xue Yan.
Xue Yan was sent to the town to study when he was four years old, and he only returns home a few times a year.
The little girl and he had never met before.
“I’m not going. ” Xue Yan’s voice was a bit low. He lowered his eyes and looked at the ground. Then, he propped up the small bundle of firewood on his back. “Father, I too want to grow crops at home,” he said in an even lower voice.
“What’s so good about that when you can further your education!” Xue Dafu sighed heavily. “I really don’t understand why you suddenly stopped studying. You’re so smart, did someone tell you that you weren’t? Which teacher said such… Forget it, forcing you to go won’t make you happy, and your mother and I will feel uncomfortable. So be it, if you don’t want to go, then so be it. ”
“Thank you, Father.” Xue Yan finally looked up, and his eyes suddenly met Jiang Yue’s at the foot of the mountain.
Xue Yan was startled. Whose child was this? She looked so delicate and pretty.
Jiang Yue stepped aside quietly and let them pass.
It was at this moment that Xue Dafu saw Jiang Yue as well.
“Jiang Yue, why are you here alone?” Xue Dafu quickly put down the firewood on his shoulder and strode over to Jiang Yue. He squatted down in front of her and asked.
As he squatted down, his line of sight was now at the same level as Jiang Yue’s.
“I want to go up the mountain.” Jiang Yue said calmly.
......
“What are you going to do up there?” Xue Dafu didn’t understand. “Where’s your uncle and aunt? How can they let you out alone? How did they take care of you? You’re still a child.”
“My uncle’s family wanted to sell me out. I didn’t want to be sold, so I left. I want to go to the mountains and live alone.”
After she finished speaking, she raised the small bag in her hand and gestured for Xue Dafu to take a look. f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶
Only then did Xue Dafu see the small bag in her hand. He immediately became angry.”Those b*stards! Your mother entrusted them to take care of you, and they treated you like this! Are you actually going to live in the mountains alone? You’re still so young, how are you going to live alone? On the mountain, we adults won’t even dare to spend the night there. Let’s go, go back with me and I will seek justice for you!”
With that, Xue Dafu wanted to hold Jiang Yue’s hand and head back.
However, Jiang Yue dodged his hand and her eyes were filled with determination.”I’m not going back. That family is bad.”
After a pause, her tone softened a little.”Don’t worry about me. I won’t go back to my uncle’s house, so just pretend you didn’t see me. Thank you,”
With that, Jiang Yue wanted to go around Xue Dafu and Xue Yan and continue up the mountain.
Just like her, Xue Yan silently made way for her.
Jiang Yue raised her eyebrows, not expecting the other boy to be so cooperative and calm. He did not look like a seven-year-old child at all.
However, she did not think too much about it and walked past the two.
“How could this be? You’re just a child. Without an adult here, you won’t be able to survive no matter where you go!” Xue Dafu quickly stopped her.
“How about this,” Xue Dafu began to persuade the little girl, “If you don’t want to go back to your uncle’s house, then go back to my house! You’ll stay at my house from now on, and we’ll take care of you like family, okay?”
