Chapter 252

He only caught a cold and was running a fever. Although his fever was rather high, it was not considered a serious illness and it was discovered rather early. Gu Chonghua made some medicine for him and the effects of the medicine came into work quickly.

Everyone only realized that Jiang Xun was still standing at the door after Mo Chengxu took the medicine.

Gu Qingyao was confused. “Jiang Xun?”

Jiang Xun was staring at Mo Chengxu's face all this time. Hearing Gu Qingyao, Mo Chengxu followed her gaze and made eye contact with Jiang Xun.

Jiang Xun experienced a mult.i.tude of emotions when he saw the child's front profile. Why does this child look so similar to his younger cousin?

“Oh! I… I accidentally knocked into this auntie when I was on my way out just now. I saw that the child in her arms seemed to be sick and I'm afraid that I hurt him so I came to take a look.”

Gu Qingyao said, “It's alright now. Xiao Xu is just sick and having a fever. He will be fine after taking some medicine. The sun is about to set already. You still have younger brothers at home. I will not make you stay any longer. Hurry home!”

Jiang Xun took another look at Mo Chengxu, nodded his head and left.

However, he was unable to remain calm on his way back.

After the sky darkened, he returned to the tattered straw shed in the house and the three little ones were huddled together by a fire. They do not have enough clothes to wear and could only warm themselves by a fire during the winter or else they would not be able to bear the cold.

Seeing that Jiang Xun returned, the children immediately circled around him.

“Elder brother, what did Aunt Gu say? She was not cheated, was she?”

The first child who rushed up to him was the young cousin who bore an extreme resemblance to that child from earlier on. He just turned five this year.

He did not have a formal given name but he had a nickname, Mu Mu!

Jiang Xun replied, “Don't worry. Aunt Gu said she will not come. Aunt Gu and Tingting are living very well in the Gu family. You all don't need to worry about her.”

Mu Mu sighed in relief upon hearing that!

“That's good then. Aunt Gu must not be foolish. There's not a single good person in that Li family.”

Jiang Xun looked at the child before him and truly thought that the child was too smart.

He had only turned five this year!

Many children at this age could not even speak clearly and were not as clear and expressive as Mu Mu. However, this child's intellect and ability to think independently were not inferior to kids who were a few years older than him.

That Xiao Xu…

Jiang Xun pressed his lips together. Leading Mu Mu to the fireside, Jiang Xun opened his small cloth bundle, exposing the ten-over sweet potatoes in it.

The children's eyes brightened at the sight of the food.

“Cousin, did Aunt Gu give you these?” The first who spoke was still Mu Mu.

Jiang Xun laughed. “It's considered so! But it's a very beautiful elder sister in the Gu family who gave me these. She is a very nice person. The eggs which I brought back the other time were given by her. Oh right, she also gave me a box of ointment. Hurry, wash your hands. I will apply some ointment for you all to treat your frostbite.”

Mu Mu's eyes lit up. “A very good-looking elder sister? How good-looking?”

Jiang Xun smiled. “Better looking than anyone you have met before. She's like a fairy. She's especially good-looking.”

Jiang Xun's younger brother was called Jiang Ping while the other younger cousin was Jiang Jing.

His last name was also Jiang as his parents both shared the same last name, Jiang.

Watching the kids before him, Jiang Xun said, “I saw a child at the Gu family today. He looks very similar to Mu Mu as though they were carved out from the same mould.”

Everyone was stunned.

“Very similar to Mu Mu?” Jiang Ping, who was older, asked.
