Su Shen placed Su Le on the ground, and she quickly crawled onto Gu Zi’s lap. Gu Zi picked her up, and Su Le eagerly pointed at the breakfast Su Shen had prepared, then at her brother Su Li, who was still lying in bed looking unwell. It was as if she was saying, “Mom, let brother have some breakfast.”
Her adorable and obedient behavior touched the hearts of Su Shen and Gu Zi.
After they finished breakfast, Su Shen went to handle the discharge paperwork.
Once they left the hospital, the family took a leisurely stroll through the city streets, observing the bustling crowds. Green, grass-green liberation clothing was all the rage, worn by adults and children alike.
Su Li’s eyes were filled with envy as they followed the people wearing green liberation clothes, and he gazed at them longingly.
Su Bing noticed Su Li’s yearning look. He realized that his younger brother wanted a set of liberation clothing too. However, he was hesitant to ask his father for it because he didn’t want to burden him.
He thought that his father already did so much for them, and asking for more might seem immature and selfish. He remembered what Grandma Chu used to say about being sensible and not troubling their father with unnecessary requests.
Su Bing suggested to Su Li that they stop looking, signaling that he shouldn’t covet the clothing.
“Mr. Su, how about taking Su Bing, Su Li, and Lele for a little outing?” Gu Zi proposed to Su Shen.
Su Shen held Su Le and agreed, “Sure, we don’t have to rush back today.”
He did not say anything after he finished speaking. The corners of Gu Zi’s mouth curled up slightly. It seemed that he still had to rely on her to decide where to go.
She thought for a moment and said, “There’s a Children’s Palace not far ahead.
Let’s go there first!”
“Alright.” With that, they set off in the direction of the Children’s Palace.
Gu Zi felt elated, thinking that Su Shen appeared aloof and distant but was actually easy to get along with.
Su Li’s eyes sparkled with joy upon hearing they were going to the Children’s Palace. Many of his classmates had visited, and he heard about the exciting amusement facilities there.
The prospect of riding moon-flying rockets, exploring fun-house mirrors, or driving bumper cars had him thrilled. He was too excited to think about the liberation clothing for the moment.
As they entered the Children’s Palace, they noticed that many city parents were there with their children, enjoying various attractions.
Some parents knew each other and would even exchange a few words with each other.
They wore glasses, leather shoes, elegant hairstyles, and fashionable outfits.
Suddenly, two boys wearing patched clothes walked in. One look and it was obvious that the boys had been malnourished and were not in good condition, particularly the younger one who appeared very pale.
People couldn’t help but stare at them, and some even looked with disdain or disgust, as if silently saying, “What are these ragged kids doing here?”
Gu Zi, focused on providing her family with a fun experience, didn’t notice these reactions. Su Shen was walking ahead and didn’t pay attention either.
Su Li’s heart was only focused on playing, so he didn’t notice the stares. Only Su Bing’s face darkened as he observed the reactions of those around them.
A disturbing thought crossed his mind: had Gu Zi deliberately brought them here to be ridiculed?
Having endured so much hardship, Su Bing had difficulty trusting others. He wasn’t sure if Gu Zi would always be good to them, and he feared she was on the verge of revealing her true nature.
In the midst of these unsettling thoughts, a staff member wearing a red armband confronted the two brothers.
The guard had been alerted by a concerned citizen who reported that two young beggars had entered the premises.
“You two beggars, get out of here! What are you doing in a place like this?” The guard barked in a loud, authoritative voice, drawing the attention of onlookers.
Su Li was stunned and hid behind Su Bing, trembling with fear. Why was this city person trying to chase them away? Was it because of their shabby clothes?
Su Bing, on the other hand, felt hatred welling up as he looked at the guard, tears filling his eyes. He was humiliated and infuriated, but he also felt his fears confirmed: his stepmother had plotted for this to happen, so that they would be ridiculed publicly.
He felt that his stepmother would definitely start to treat them badly.
However, in the next moment, a graceful figure stepped forward, shielding Su Bing from the judgmental stares.
At that moment, Su Bing’s heart skipped a beat. It seemed like this stepmother would actually protect them..
