Chapter 723 - Chapter 698: Collecting Bird Eggs

Gou Dan is cutting pigweed in the courtyard.

Recently, his father no longer locks him with chains.

Seeing that he works diligently and obediently.

However, his mother and sister keep a close eye on him, seemingly afraid something might happen to him alone.

Gou Dan has now grown accustomed to this life, waking up before dawn every day, eating breakfast, and then heading up the mountain with his sister to gather pigweed.

Although he is small and has short legs, unable to do much, he still strives to work hard.

He wants to make his father happy.

If his father isn't happy, he uses a belt and bamboo whip to beat them.

Although he gets beaten the least, he knows the taste of a belt hitting a person is very painful.

Once, he wanted to go outside to see the wild chickens and ducks by the river, but his father caught him and dragged him back, whipping him hard with the belt. That night, the pain kept him awake all night.

It took several days for the injuries to heal.
