Chapter 147 - 0147: Miserable Brothers 3_1
Feng Qingxue knelt down on the haystack, holding Guan Yu in her arms.
Guan Yu’s forehead was burning hot, but he was deadly afraid of the cold, his thin little body trembling non-stop. His ragged clothes were far from enough to shield him from the chill of spring. Feng Qingxue reached into the carrying basket, taking out a cotton-padded coat from the space within and wrapping it around him.
In her idle time, apart from reading and practicing calligraphy, she would use the saved fabrics in the storage space to make clothes.
The fabrics she chose were those she had encountered so far.
When previously searching for things for Lu Jiang, she had organized her space, and found a dozen bags of cheap industrial fabrics, clothes, shoes, and labor protection supplies. Each large bag was like a small mountain, basically applicable to this era.
With Feng Qingxue’s body warmth and the thick padded coat, Guan Yu gradually stopped shaking that much.
The older girl hid the half of the leftover corn bread carefully in her pocket, saving it for tomorrow’s meal, then squatted near Feng Qingxue, enviously looking at Guan Yu wrapped in the padded coat, asking, "Sister, what relation are you to Guan Yu’s family? You treat him so well. We’ve been living with Guan Cheng and Guan Yu here for several years, but I’ve never seen anyone come to find him."
"Guan Cheng and Guan Yu have been living here for several years?" This sentence caught Feng Qingxue’s attention.
"Yes, not long after Guan Yu was born, Guan Cheng often brought him to live here. Guan Cheng even gave Guan Yu his name! His stepfather’s family didn’t provide a place for them to live. They forced Guan Cheng to work during the day and drove him out at night. Guan Cheng never drank a mouthful of water from them. These two years, many people starved to death; my parents didn’t want me either, complaining that I wasted food. Thus, I joined them and we beg for food together. Guan Cheng and Guan Yu have been living here all along, they’ve never returned to their stepfather’s home."
