Chen Qiang stood in the yard, feeling uneasy. He entered the house as well.
Chen Gang approached Gu Xiaobei and asked, "Auntie, could I have a word with you?"
Gu Xiaobei looked at Chen Gang's hesitant and reluctant face, and nodded, "Okay, go ahead."
But Chen Gang didn't say anything, instead, he began to walk towards the gate. Gu Xiaobei followed him out.
After making sure no one was nearby, Chen Gang said to Gu Xiaobei, "Auntie, can you take Jiujiu away? It's really pitiful how she lives with us." As he spoke, his eyes grew red.
"Does Jiujiu get hit every day?" Gu Xiaobei couldn't help but ask again.
"Yes.", Chen Gang nodded.
"Why doesn't your fourth brother do anything?" Gu Xiaobei angrily exclaimed.
"My fourth brother doesn't dare to intervene, and I can't intervene either. If I were to speak up for Jiujiu, my sister-in-law would beat her even harder when I leave for fieldwork."
Gu Xiaobei felt saddened. In this family, there was no one willing to stand up for Jiujiu.
