Therefore, Qiao Xuan was very disgusted by the fact that people favored boys over girls.

Qiao Xuan’s words were so direct that Sun Jianmin felt a little awkward and did not know how to respond.

Gu Yang looked at the father and son, the temperature in her eyes turning cold.

After Qiu Baizhou asked that question just now, she had paid attention to the expressions of the father and son.

Sun Kang and Sun Jianmin both lied.

It was impossible for them to be lucky enough to have nine boys in a row. There must have been girls during this period.

So where did the girls go?

Did he abort them after finding out that they were girls in a non-government hospital? Did he throw them away or give them away after finding out that they were girls?

Furthermore…

“Where’s the mother?”

Gu Yang and Qiu Baizhou asked almost at the same time.

The two of them looked at each other and could tell that the other party had the same guess.

Sun Jianmin hesitated for a moment and looked at Qiu Baizhou warily. “The mother… is gone.”

Qiu Baizhou frowned. “She’s gone? Did she pass away?”

Sun Jianmin, on the other hand, was getting impatient with Qiu Baizhou. “Why are you asking so many questions? Are you here to help the poor or to check the household register?”

Sun Kang explained, “My parents have a deep relationship. After Mom left, Dad found it hard to accept, so we rarely mentioned her. Otherwise, he would be sad.”

Qiu Baizhou was silent for a moment before looking in Gu Yang’s direction.

Then, he said to the father and son, “Sorry.”

After that, he stopped talking and looked at Gu Yang from time to time.

“We’re not here to alleviate poverty. We just want to understand Sun Xi’s situation.”

Gu Yang took out a few white rabbit milk candies from the pocket of her down jacket and gave them to Sun Xi.

Sun Xi’s eyes lit up, and he carefully took the candy from Gu Yang’s hand. He let out broken syllables, and a child’s innocent smile appeared on his dirty face.

“You’re welcome.” Gu Yang rubbed his head with a hand that had never stroked a dog before and smiled.

Sun Kang looked at Gu Yang and laughed.

This young lady was pure and kind. Sun Xi was a mute. How could he thank her?

Feng Jue and Gu Jin’s gazes paused on the candy in Sun Xi’s hand for a moment.

When they realized that the other party was also looking at the candy, they

looked away as it nothing had happened.

They would never admit that there was a moment when they wanted to snatch a child’s candy.

“What’s wrong with Sun Xi? Is it because he knocked down your ladder yesterday? Wasn’t that caused by that kid from the Li family?”

After hearing that the production team did not come to his house to help alleviate poverty, Sun Jianmin’s enthusiasm decreased. He even began to suspect that the production team was here to cause trouble.

“This child isn’t born mute, right?” Gu Yang brought Sun Xi to the well and fetched water to wash his face.

Sun Xi clearly liked Gu Yang very much and was very obedient to her. After washing his face, he even revealed a big smile.

Feng Jue looked at the child and his eyes narrowed slightly as he pursed his lips.

Sun Jianmin looked at Gu Yang in surprise. “How did you know?”

Sun Kang explained, “Little Mu… Little Xi suddenly fell ill last year and became mute.”

“He’s not mute. He’s aphasic. There are many reasons for aphasia. Some are caused by lesions in the brain or nerves, and some are caused by PTSD.”

Gu Yang held Sun Xi’s hand and took a walk in the courtyard.

“With our family’s situation, even if we know that he’s sick, we don’t have that much money to treat him.” Sun Jianmin was impatient to hear this, but when he thought of these people’s identities, he couldn’t help but say, “Unless someone helps us.”

“What are you doing?!”

Only then did Sun Jianmin realize that Gu Yang had unknowingly walked to the dilapidated mud house in the courtyard and kicked open the tightly closed wooden door..
