"Beast, what are you jabbering about?" Chen Dagui was mystified.
Chen Goudan continued to wail loudly. "Wu wu wu, I almost fell down the slope the last time I cut wood on the mountain, but Elder Brother Mo saved me. Today, I wanted to thank him by giving him the fish I caught. I don't have anything. We don't have enough to eat at home, so I didn't dare to give him any food.
"I finally managed to get a few small fish and prawns, then Elder Brother Mo even invited my little sister and me to have a meal with them. I didn't take any food from the house. I didn't! Wu wu wu!"
When they heard that, everyone immediately understood.
Chen Goudan had no parents and had to take care of his little sister. The Chen family usually did not give them much to eat. They were so young, but had to put up with daily scoldings and beatings. They even had to do chores at a young age.
