Chapter 548: A sore spot in my heart

Chu Yuan, are you asking Zhao Wu for leave and going back after lunch?" Chu Xintian suddenly remembered something, and asked Chu Yuan for the time to ask for leave.

"Alright, it's time for lunch. It's only an hour away. Can I do something for you, sister?"

"I want to take you somewhere."

"Okay, but sister, I have to say goodbye to the elders of the Lu family first, and then tell Jing'er, and then go, okay?"

Chu Xintian knew that Chu Yuan was also a sensible child. He wanted to ask the elders of the Lu family to resign. Of course, he should. So, she led Chu Yuan to say hello to the Lu family, and then the two sisters and brothers went out.

"Sister, where are you taking me?" Out of the door, Chu Yuan asked curiously.

"You'll know when you get there." Chu Xintian did not directly answer his brother's words, but sold a pass.

As he walked, Chu Yuan found this road, and he felt more and more familiar.

"Sister, are you going to take me to the Chu family?"

Chu Yuan quickly understood her intentions: "Sister, what else do you want to do?" Can we not go?"

Compared with Chu Xintian, Chu Yuan is a relatively poor child.

When Chu Xintian was born, Fang was at least with his daughter until she was five years old.

However, Chu Yuan was only a month old, and the Fang clan died. Chu Yuan lost his mother when he was a baby. Soon, Liu and her children entered the door, and the painful days of Chu Xintian and Chu Yuan came.

Liu's first year or two after entering the door were not bad. At least one old servant was left behind by another old mother to take care of Chu Yuan, so that he, the newborn child, could survive. Otherwise, a newborn and very weak baby would definitely die in a few days from Liu's abuse.

You know, in this era, the birth mortality rate of newborns is very high. Even if babies are well cared for, few people are able to raise them to adulthood.

If there was no one to take care of Chu Yuan and Chu Xintian, they would all be abused and killed by the Liu family. If they did such a thing, no one would blame her. One is that child death is a very common thing. In addition, Chu Xintian and Chu Yuan's two siblings have no parents, and their grandparents have both died. Who cares if they live or die?

It was a miracle that Chu Yuan could live to such an age.

When Chu Yuan was more than a year old, the Liu family drove the old servant who had been waiting for the Fang family out of the Chu family.

The next ten years will be the days when Chu Xintian and Chu Yuan will suffer.

There were originally a few maids and servants in the family, but the Liu family was ruthless and felt that Chu Xintian was raised for nothing, and he wasted food in vain, so he drove the servants away. All the dirty work was left to Chu Xintian's sister and brother.

In the beginning, Chu Xintian took care of his younger brother. He was very small, and Chu Xintian was busy doing all kinds of work. Later, when Chu Yuan grew up, he knew that he loved his sister. When he was in school, he would try his best to help her in his spare time.

Later, Chu Xintian was sixteen years old, Chu Yuan was nine years old, and the Liu family made the decision and married Chu Xintian to a family in the countryside. Since then, all the work in the family has been left to Chu Yuan alone.

From the age of nine to seventeen, for seven or eight years, Chu Yuan has been living in the Chu family and living a nightmare life.

Finally had the opportunity to enter the academy, Chu Yuan studied hard, and when he was washing clothes and cooking, he also thought about books.

Chu Yuan thought that only by leaving the Chu family could he live a good life.

People like him have to study hard.

Leaving the Chu family, there is still a vast world outside.

So, half a year ago, when Chu Yuan learned the news of the Zhao family's conscription, he immediately moved his mind.
