"Thank you for taking care of my sister for more than a year. Without you, she would have died long ago... or been taken away."
"Let us survive together, this is what I owe everyone... I sent my sister to have a good life, I cannot go myself..."
Ren Chun, with tears streaming down: "Little sister, you must be obedient in the future, don’t come looking for us, you won’t find us..."
He finally burst into tears, kneeling in front of Fang Che: "Big Brother, my sister... I leave her to you, thank you... I will be grateful to you all my life... Rest assured, everything I said, I will do."
"I really will do it all!"
Fang Che said indifferently: "Well then, let’s say goodbye here."
He stood up, reaching out to take the little girl’s hand: "Ren Dong, right? I’ll call you Little Dongdong... we’re leaving now, say goodbye to your brother."
The moment of separation finally arrived.
Ren Dong cried until her face was a mess: "No, no, no... I want to follow my brother, I won’t..."
She hadn’t finished speaking when Ren Chun shouted: "Say it again!!"
Although his face was full of tears, his shout was quite intimidating.
He looked at his sister in despair, his heart breaking: "All our efforts, for what? For what? You give up? You need to live with all our efforts! What right do you have to give up?"
"So many of us, possibly only you can live, what right do you have to give up! What right do you have to give up!"
"Say it again, I’ll beat you to death now! Better than having you taken away by someone else!"
Ren Dong was scared by him.
She lowered her head and just cried: "I won’t dare, I won’t dare anymore, I won’t dare... Brother don’t be angry I won’t dare anymore waa waa..."
"Go with Big Brother and be obedient."
Ren Chun held his sister in his arms, attentively helping her arrange her hair, wipe her eyes: "Be good, don’t talk back, rush to do work when there is any, clean where it’s dirty, if Big Brother scolds you, don’t talk back, be polite, don’t cry every day, crying children aren’t liked, you have to dress yourself, do things yourself, don’t wait for others to take care of you... do you understand? Remember?"
The little girl sobbed, gasping: "Mmm... mm."
Ren Chun looked deeply at his sister.
Not a blink.
He knew, upon leaving, it would be two worlds. Perhaps the Netherworld, perhaps the heaven and earth.
The brother and sister, probably would never have the chance to meet again.
But with tears brimming in his eyes, he gently pushed his sister’s body, pushing her towards Fang Che.
He let go of his sister.
Took two steps back. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
Then bowed deeply.
His thin body, folding like a hinge, his forehead almost touched his feet: "Thank you!"
Then he turned and walked out.
He didn’t dare to stay here, he was afraid he would change his mind, afraid he would succumb to temptation any moment, kneeling and begging Big Brother to take him in too.
But he couldn’t do that, there were still seven brothers to take care of.
They helped me take care of my sister, so I must take care of them. Until, there’s no longer a need for my care, or I can no longer take care!
Seven kids wiped their tears.
Each walked up to Fang Che, bowed deeply: "Thank you!"
Then, each turned around and walked out.
Outside, the clear voices of children rang out: "Boss! Wait for us!"
Ren Dong cried loudly, also wanting to chase out, but Fang Che grasped her little hand.
She didn’t dare to struggle, but cried even harder.
"Let’s go."
Fang Che held the little girl’s hand.
Walked out slowly.
Dongyun Yu and the other two followed him, leaving the porridge shop.
A bar of silver landed on the table.
Four big and one small figure, walked slowly on the street, then turned the corner and disappeared.
The little girl kept desperately turning back, tears falling more and more, wanting to see her brother once more, but behind her was nothing.
Her brother was already far away.
When Fang Che and the others turned the corner, over here...
Behind the corner wall, eight small heads simultaneously peeked out.
Staring at the now empty street.
Eight eyes, filled with tears, with envy, but also with relief.
A sense of relief.
For a while.
Ren Chun smiled, wiped away tears, and happily said: "Alright, little sister has gone to enjoy a good life, we’ll also be more relaxed from now on... let’s go back and rest a bit."
He took out the sesame cake in his hand and said to the others: "You haven’t finished your sesame cakes either, right? Let’s go back and find somewhere to put them... these sesame cakes should last us ten days; let’s see if in these ten days we can get some food, and if not, we’ll nibble on them at night. Don’t eat it all at once."
"Mm mm."
The seven little ones all nodded.
Turned and walked away.
Ren Chun did not look back.
He was fulfilling his promise: From now on, I will never look at her again! I don’t miss her! I can’t miss her!
I know what wealthy families hate the most, nothing more than their own servants stealing from home to help their families.
This is a big taboo.
I understand.
Little sister, you must be well from now on, remember my words, be obedient, good, diligent, clean... never be kicked out again... can’t afford that...
But the other seven little beggars did frequently look back.
Until they reached a drafty old temple.
Eight of them lay down at once on the straw as if all the bones were pulled out.
No one spoke.
All eyes wide open, watching the leaky roof exposing the sky.
But clearly knowing, they saw nothing.
"Little sister she..." one little beggar said.
Didn’t finish before being interrupted by Ren Chun: "Don’t mention little sister anymore, let it be. Keep mentioning it, you’ll still not be able to forget... better, let it all go."
