Chapter 449: Second Brother Speaks
Everyone in the neighborhood knew of the Mo family’s circumstances. Jiang Yingqiu did not bother with hypocrisies, but spoke bluntly.
“But you need not worry. I will at most ask Beihan to supplement us a little. After two or three years, Jiang Xun will be older and then things will be easier. We won’t place such a heavy burden on Beihan alone.”
Only then did Gu Qingyao understand why Jiang Yingqiu was here!
She looked at the Gu family’s reaction, then glanced at Mo Beihan. Only then did she realize that if this happened to ordinary people, they really would not be able to deal with it.
In the past, many people had already despised Mo Beihan for having the heavy burden of supporting Mo Chengrui and Mo Chengxu. Now another four children had turned up. How could an ordinary person accept this?
But she and Mo Beihan were not ordinary people!
Considering her and Mo Beihan’s capabilities, it was an easy matter for them to raise these children. To her, what was most important, whether in her past or present life, was the love between herself and Mo Beihan. These small matters were inconsequential.
So even after everything that had happened, she had not considered this problem.
Gu Qingyao glanced at Mo Beihan innocently. Mo Beihan shrugged. He had not thought of this either!
Too bad. They were so capable they had not taken a small matter like that to heart.
Gu Qingyao smiled and said to Jiang Yingqiu, “Aunt Jiang, don’t worry. These children are all very mature. Since we have encountered them, then of course we cannot abandon them. You do not need to…”
“Aunt, please come in and have a seat! It’s cold outside!” Gu Jinhang interrupted Gu Qingyao. Gu Jinhang said to Old Master Gu, “Grandfather, let’s talk inside! What will people think if we stand out here?”
When he finished, he glanced at Gu Qingyao. “It’s cold out here. Go back to your room and wait.”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
“Second Brother…”
“Why don’t you see if the two younger ones are awake? Ask them to hurry up and eat breakfast.” Gu Jinhang always looked amiable, but he was actually very domineering. He refused to allow Gu Qingyao to interfere in this matter.
Gu Qingyao pursed her lips and glanced at Mo Beihan.
She and Mo Beihan were not ordinary people. To them, raising these children was not a big deal. Ordinary people might object, but that was only because of their straitened circumstances, and they could not afford to.
If they were an illustrious family, and Mo Beihan could clearly display his capabilities, no one would begrudge these children a mouthful of food.
But Gu Qingyao knew that the Gu family was not aware of all these.
So she did not say anything.
Mo Beihan gave her a meaningful glance to indicate that she should rest while he handled the matter.
Mo Beihan helped Jiang Yingqiu into the house and everyone sat down. Gu Chonghua and Wen Ruyu did not know how to begin.
They had suffered so much recently, they could empathize with Jiang Yingqiu’s difficulties. If the same thing had happened to them, they also could not bear to abandon these children.
They also could not abandon Jiang Xun and Jiang Ping. They would probably do the same as Jiang Yingqiu. But what about Yao Yao?
Gu Chonghua and Wen Ruyu knew that Gu Qingyao had extraordinary abilities, but Gu Yunshen had not told them much about what she could actually do. So although they knew what was going on, they were still worried about their darling granddaughter.
There were so many children. It was not just enough to have sufficient resources. Take something as simple as making a meal!
The grain could not be eaten directly. It had to be cooked. With so many children, it was difficult to cook for such a big family.
