Bab 50: The Children of Poor Families Mature Early

Gu Qingxue returned to the courtyard house at noon in the horse carriage.

Before she entered the house, she could already smell the pleasant fragrance of rice coming from the courtyard house.

Gu Qingxue pushed the door open and entered the courtyard house. She found that the small courtyard house had been cleaned to the point that it was spotless. At this moment, Dumby and Lingbao were kicking shuttlecocks in the courtyard house.

"Mother, you're back." The two children immediately ran toward Gu Qingxue with their thick little legs when they saw her.

Gu Qingxue hugged one of the children with one hand and asked curiously, "Where's your big brother?"

"Big brother is making porridge for us in the kitchen," said Dumby.

Previously, Gu Qingxue had to work for Madam Yu for a whole day when she went out. Every time she came back at night, Gu Lin would make porridge for her little brother and sister to fill their stomachs.
