Chapter 112: Old Stories in South City
Gu Xiaoxiao stood at the school gate, staring at the four big characters "South City Talents" for a full ten minutes.
Before Gu Yuwei suddenly returned to the Gu family with a paternity test, she was a top student in this school.
Even though she was eccentric, almost no one bullied her.
Ever since Gu Yuwei found herself back, she has been treated as an imaginary enemy for some unknown reason.
She kept saying that Gu Xiaoxiao was a fake daughter who had monopolized her happy life for 12 years. Gu Xiaoxiao glanced at Gu Yuwei like an idiot.
"Have you watched too many TV dramas or novels and really think you are the protagonist?"
The Gu family adopted Gu Xiaoxiao not out of kindness.
When Gu Xiaoxiao was five years old, the six-year-old Gu Yuwei, the daughter of the Nancheng Gu family, ran away with a man selling fried dough twists, and the old lady Gu was so heartbroken that she fell ill.
The Gu family is superstitious. They heard from a fortune teller that if they adopt a more obedient child, they can extend the old lady's life.
After everyone got together, they went to the South City Welfare Home to look for her, and saw Gu Xiaoxiao, who was as pretty as a doll. Upon asking, they found out that her surname was also Gu.
The superstitious Gu family members all felt that this was God's arrangement.
Before that, Gu Xiaoxiao had been living in the South City Welfare Home. Except that older children would often snatch her food and toys, her life was quite happy.
The mothers, uncles and aunties in the welfare home are all very gentle. Although they will do what they can to earn some money, they are all manual work.
If she could go back on time, she would rather stay in the orphanage and fight with the other kids to the end.
"Little sister, do you want to live in a big house and eat lots of delicious food? Wear new clothes every day? And no one will compete with you for it..."
Five-year-old Gu Xiaoxiao had just had her Rubik's Cube stolen and was pinned to the ground and rubbed hard by a few bad guys. Her face was covered in dirt like a little cat and she was filled with longing.
"I don't want a lot of toys, I just want a Rubik's Cube."
Gu Xiaoxiao compared Dai Hua to others. When her brother Dachengzi was around, no one dared to snatch the painting from her. The little girl thought that she would be bullied only because her brother was gone.
Faced with a boy who was about the same age as Big Orange's brother pulling and coaxing her, Gu Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement without even thinking.
When we got to our new home, it wasn’t a big house.
However, the stairwell filled with junk was indeed much larger than the space in the orphanage where there was only a small bed.
The utility room can accommodate a small bed and some construction tools.
"Xiao Xiao, if you make the old lady happy every day, you will have food to eat. Otherwise, you will starve."
Gu Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded. The 5-year-old child witnessed for the first time the viciousness of human nature. She cried and made a fuss, asking to go back to the orphanage.
The Gu family was no longer as friendly as they were in the welfare home. With gloomy faces, they picked up the tongs holding the honeycomb coal and swung them at Gu Xiaoxiao.
She was beaten so hard that she cried for her parents, but no one answered her calls to the sky or the earth.
"Shut up, if you keep crying I'll kill you!
I have sons and daughters, why should I raise a bastard like you?
If the witch hadn't said to adopt a good kid to prolong my mother's life, would we be crazy or stupid to adopt you?"
Gu Xiaoxiao was so frightened that she forgot to cry. The man picked her up and threw her into the stairwell, cruelly locked the door, and starved her for three whole days.
Her brother Gu Hongxin coaxed her to supervise her, not allowing her to be lazy, running around or contacting outsiders.
Her daily task was to make the old lady happy, serve her tea and water, sweep the floor and wipe the table... They seemed to have forgotten about going to school.
Mrs. Gu's illness gradually recovered.
The Gu family started out moving bricks on a construction site, then began to do contract work, and finally started a company, and their lives became increasingly prosperous.
The Gu family firmly believed that she could bring good luck and were even more reluctant to let Gu Xiaoxiao go.
She has been responsible for all the housework at home since she was a child. Even after the Gu family became rich and moved from a house in the suburbs to a big villa, and later hired a nanny, she was still no exception.
Gu's parents said that the Gu family would not keep idle people.
When she was 10 years old, the welfare home visited her again and found that she had no record of going to school. Fearing that she was being abused, they decided to take her back.
The Gu family had no choice but to send Gu Xiaoxiao to school.
After the staff left, they forced Gu Xiaoxiao to sign an IOU for tuition and miscellaneous fees totaling 91 yuan.
"When you grow up and earn money, you have to pay us back with interest. You eat at my house, live at my house, and I don't ask you to pay rent or living expenses. You should be grateful..."
Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't think of anything to refute, it seemed to make sense, she nodded stupidly and wrote the three words "Gu Xiaoxiao" on the IOU in a crooked manner.
Finally I can go to school again!
She was happy but also sad. All the kids in the past were better than her. What should she do?
The 10-year-old Gu Xiaoxiao stood out among a group of 6- and 7-year-old first-grade children. She felt awkward, shy, and embarrassed...
As soon as the bell rang, the little chicks rushed out to play, and Gu Xiaoxiao continued to study. Luo Xiaolan, a first-grade teacher who was passing by, saw it, walked in curiously, and discovered Gu Xiaoxiao, this little seedling.
"Why don't you go out and play, little classmate?"
"I'm afraid I'll lag far behind the children in the welfare home..."
The more Gu Xiaoxiao spoke, the redder her fair face became, and the rest of her words were drowned out by embarrassment.
The school was contacted by the staff of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Many teachers in the school knew about Gu Xiaoxiao's situation. Teacher Luo touched her little head and found her hair was dry, like a bunch of dry straw.
"As long as you get full marks on every test, you can skip a grade. Maybe you can catch up with, or even surpass, the kids in your orphanage."
Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes suddenly sparkled like stars, "Really? I, I, I think..."
I want to try but I’m too embarrassed to say it out loud, for fear that if I fail, I’ll never have another chance in the future.
Luo Xiaolan gave a few questions, and Gu Xiaoxiao thought about them and solved them all.
"Come on, put on your backpack."
Afterwards, Gu Xiaoxiao moved from the first grade to the second grade as if she was on a sightseeing tour... and later he simply took her to the fifth grade that he taught.
I found her textbooks from third to sixth grade and stuffed them in her drawer. After the class, I squatted next to her and pointed out the parts she didn't understand.
Originally I just wanted to take care of her, then I wanted to test her limits, and later on, I began to have some extravagant hopes.
"Xiaoxiao, there is a competition in the city, do you want to try?" Teacher Luo's words made all the teachers in the office think she was crazy.
This girl has only been in school for 2 years.
"I I I can do it?"
Gu Xiaoxiao's peach blossom eyes were filled with hope and anxiety, and her rough little hands kept twisting the corners of her clothes that had turned white from washing.
This was given to Teacher Luo’s daughter because it outgrew her clothes and she wore it for another year.
"We are here to broaden our horizons. It would be great if we can win a prize, but it doesn't matter if we don't. We can just practice our courage and broaden our horizons."
In a competition that no one had any hope for, Gu Xiaoxiao unexpectedly won the third prize. In addition to the certificate, she also earned 200 yuan for the first time.
This suddenly opened up a new world for Gu Xiaoxiao. Not only could she catch up with the other kids in the welfare home by studying, she could also earn money.
The school was in a commotion and awarded Gu Xiaoxiao 300 yuan.
"Xiao Xiao, what do you want to do most with the money?"
In front of all the teachers and students in the school, Gu Xiaoxiao laughed like a fool for the first time:
