Chapter 111

"Young master, this is Old Master Chen and Madam Chen's residence," Li Xiaolan said in a crisp voice. The young girl's name was Li Xiaolan, and the younger boy was Li Xiuping. Their names had been chosen by their mother, bearing her earnest hope that both brother and sister would lead smooth and safe lives. Their father was a gambler who drank heavily every day, leaving all the household expenses to fall squarely on their mother's shoulders. Li Xiaolan had been sensible since childhood; not only did she wash, cook, and take care of her younger brother, but whenever she had spare time, she also helped her mother do rough chores at their employers' homes. Chen Yingjian raised his eyes slightly to see a modest courtyard house before him. In this slum, it could already be considered the home of wealthy people.
