Chapter 683_1

"Brother, I know our mother isn't our birth mother. Xiaosi and I were so young when our real mother left; we barely remember what she looked like. I sort of remember that even then, she didn't take much care of me and Xiaosi, let alone you and second brother, who weren't her own. Mother was even worse towards you. After every quarrel with father, she would take it out on us by beating and scolding us. After mother passed away, we brothers were bullied and looked down upon by children of the same age in the village because we didn't have a mother. Grandparents and great-aunt didn't like us either," said Sanlang as if lost in his memories. Although he wasn't old, the harshness of their family had made him mature early. The brothers were all smart and understood many things, forming their own opinions. Now, studying in the academy and guided by their teacher, they understood even more about right and wrong.
