After my luck was stolen, I led my whole family to defy fate and change our destiny.

In her dream, Gu Linglong immediately opened her eyes upon smelling the odor. Who cooks without closing the windows?

They've all drifted into the cave!

This is deadly.

Gu Linglong slowly opened her eyes and gently sniffed the air.

What is summoning the true self?

It smells so good!

Upon hearing the whispers, the group of people all paused in their movements and turned sharply to look at Gu Linglong.

Su Xiuran picked her up first: "Are you hungry after sleeping for so long?"

Then they heard Gu Linglong's stomach rumble.

I'm hungry, Mommy.

After saying that, he smacked his lips and patted his little belly.

The three brothers: "So, the sister who couldn't be woken up even by banging the gong was woken up by eating?"

Douzhu prepared a full pot of milk for Gu Linglong, who chugdled it all down in one go.

[Still not full]

"..."

Su Xiuran felt a little sorry for her but was also worried that she had overeaten: "Linglong is so amazing, she drank it all in one go. How about I make you some more later?"

Gu Linglong danced excitedly, "Mother, I want to drink it now! I want to drink it now!"

The baby's stomach capacity is small, so this time the amount of milk consumed was more than usual.

She was really afraid her daughter would overeat, but she couldn't stop her daughter from nagging in her head.

[I'm not full, Mommy, waaaaaah...]

[I wrote three talismans yesterday and I'm completely exhausted, and you guys still haven't fed me enough, waaaaaah...]

I'm getting angry...

Su Xiuran pinched her brow: "Mix some more for Miss."

Douzhu's eyes widened. She had prepared much more food than usual because she was worried her young mistress might be hungry after sleeping for so long. Why did she need more?

Douzhu asked with some concern, "Madam, won't this strain Miss?"

"It's okay, go ahead and exchange it."

Gu Linglong drank half a pot of milk before smacking her lips in satisfaction.

I'm full.

Hiccup~

Douzhu quickly patted Gu Linglong's back, and then she heard Gu Linglong hiccup.

They hit several times in a row.

Gu Yu'an and the others couldn't help but laugh.

Gu Linglong covered her mouth shyly, and Douzhu gently patted her mouth, saying, "It's alright, Miss, you'll feel better once you've vented your anger."

Seeing that his younger sister was awake, Gu Liyao was relieved: "Mother, I've eaten. I'm going to the charity clinic; there's a free clinic today."

Although Gu Liyao has not yet fully mastered his craft, he is capable of treating children's simple headaches and fevers without any problem.

Su Xiuran nodded: "I asked the kitchen to make some snacks, I'll take them over to the children later."

"Thank you, Mother. I thank you on behalf of the children of the charity."

I want to go, I want to go, second brother, please take me with you!

Gu Liyao felt sorry for her: "Little sister, sleep well at home. Your second brother will be back soon."

[Heh, so you're kicking me away after I've served my purpose, huh? I helped you cleanse your karma yesterday, and now you're not even taking me with you when you go out. Humph!]

Gu Liyao sighed helplessly: "Alright, if you don't want to rest at home and want to go with your second brother, then clap your hands."

Gu Linglong slapped her hands loudly.

"Alright, your second brother will take you. You have to be good, okay?"

Don't worry, I'm the most obedient baby.

Su Xiuran thought about it and nodded in agreement. There was a big age gap between the siblings, so they needed to spend more time together to build their relationship.

Gu Ziming: "I want to go too."

Gu Liyao patted his younger brother's head: "Go ahead, you can play with the children inside."

"Wow, thank you, Second Brother!"

Gu Liyao carried Gu Linglong into the carriage. She had already fallen asleep when he changed her diaper before getting into the carriage.

Gu Liyao tenderly pressed his forehead against her face.

The carriage soon arrived at the charity hall, which was in a relatively secluded place. Gu Liyao pushed open the wooden door and entered the courtyard, followed by a servant carrying the snacks prepared by Su Xiuran.

The children in the yard were playing Eagle Catches Chicks. One of the older children was the mother hen, and a young girl was the eagle. She had her back to Gu Liyao, so she didn't know who the other was.

Shen Qingqing?

Gu Liyao was momentarily infected by the lively laughter and stood still.

The children, however, had sharp eyes and spotted him immediately.

"Brother Liyao"

"Brother Liyao is here!"

"Wow, it's Brother Liyao!"

The children all ran to Gu Liyao's side, but stopped abruptly when they saw that he was holding a small child, afraid of hurting the baby in the swaddling clothes.

"Brother Liyao, was this baby also brought to the charity?"

Gu Liyao shook his head: "No, this is my brother's sister, his own sister."

Can we see our little sister?

Gu Liyao squatted down: "Look, but you can't touch it."

"Wow, Brother Liyao's sister is so pretty!"

"Like a rag doll"

Gu Liyao was even happier to hear this than if he were being praised himself.

Haha, if you can praise me, then praise me even more!

Gu Liyao: "..."

Gu Ziming hid behind Gu Liyao, feeling somewhat reserved, as it was his first time here.

Aunt Liu came out: "Liyao's here? Come in and sit down."

Gu Liyao then stood up: "Aunt Liu, these are pastries for the children."

The children immediately cheered, "Wow, thank you, Brother Liyao!"

"Thank you, Brother Liyao."

Gu Liyao: "Go eat quickly."

Aunt Liu nodded: "Thank you very much."

"You're welcome, as long as the children are happy."

Aunt Liu pulled the people behind her: "This is Young Master Gu Liyao, whom you've met before. The one behind him should be the Third Young Master, right?"

Gu Liyao patted Gu Ziming's head, and the latter came out from behind him: "Greetings, Granny."

Aunt Liu smiled and nodded: "Good child, the third young master is really handsome."

Gu Liyao then realized that it was Chen Xining who was playing games with the children.

"Greetings, Second Young Master Gu, Third Young Master Gu"

Gu Liyao nodded to her as a greeting.

After greeting everyone, Chen Xining helped distribute the pastries to the children.

Gu Liyao said to Gu Ziming, "You should go too."

"Good Le"

Gu Liyao sat to the side watching. After a while, Chen Xining came over and asked, "Young Miss, can you eat these pastries? They look quite soft and chewy."

[I can eat, I can eat! Sister Chen, please feed me!]

Gu Liyao shook his head: "No, she's too young."

Chen Xining's ears turned red immediately: "I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, I have no experience in taking care of children. I was just watching other five- or six-month-old babies eat."

Gu Linglong was on the verge of tears. [I'm not even six months pregnant yet, sob sob sob, Second Brother, Sister Chen said I'm fat]

Gu Liyao couldn't help but chuckle: "She's not that old yet, just a little chubby."

Chen Xining's ears turned even redder: "I'm...I'm so sorry, I thought it was time for Miss to eat the pastries."

Then he said to Gu Linglong, "I'm sorry, Miss, I didn't mean to offend you."

Gu Linglong waved her hand, generously indicating that it was no problem.

It's alright, Sister Chen. I'll forgive you for earning half of your money copying books to support your family and half to support your children.

Gu Liyao asked curiously, "What are you doing here?"

Chen Xining thought for a moment and said, "I'll come over to help occasionally. When Aunt Liu gets older and can't take care of the children anymore, I'll come over."

She hasn't told her parents about this decision yet.

Gu Liyao frowned upon hearing this. Wasn't she going to get married? Was she going to come here to take care of the children?

Does that mean her husband will never be able to hold his grandson?

Gu Liyao carefully considered his words before asking, "If you come to take care of the children here, what about the teacher and his wife?"

Chen Xining looked down at her toes, unsure how to explain, because of her father's reputation, no matchmaker had offered her a marriage proposal.

There was one before, a widower who had lost his wife and had his hands and feet cut off. Chen Boqing beat him out, and Chen Xining herself was unwilling to marry him. If that was the case, she would rather stay at home and serve her parents, since her reputation was already ruined anyway.

The matchmaker, furious at being driven away, went around telling everyone that Chen Boqing's daughter was a shrew, and from then on, no matchmaker ever came to visit again.
