  Want? Dont want...

  "Mom favors my second sister, its okay for dad to be mom too, as long as hes good to my sister. ", Little Bean scratched his head, this was a serious question, apparently it had stumped him, and his answer was also somewhat disorganized and incoherent, but Gu Anan understood it clearly, in this childs heart, as long as dad is good to her, being their mom would be fine with the little kid too.

  Gu Anan used to be an only child and had never had any siblings. This kids messy words somehow warmed Gu Anans heart, and she said, "Dongdong, close your eyes."

  Gu Dongdong listened most to Gu Anans words, as soon as she said it, Xiaodouding immediately closed his eyes.

  Gu An An suddenly had a piece of candy in her palm, she unwrapped the wrapper and stuffed it into Gu Dong Dongs mouth, saying "Close your mouth, dont spit it out."

  Suddenly a sweetness burst in her mouth, and Xiaodou immediately wanted to spit it out, planning to share half with her sister.

  Listening to his sisters fierce scolding, he shut up, his mouth conditioned reflexively.

  Gu Ans big eyes smiled into a line, curved like a crescent moon. She was delighted, "Is it sweet?" She felt happier seeing the little kid in front of her eating sugar than she did when she ate sugar herself.

  Gu Dongdong couldnt bear to open his mouth, afraid that the sweetness inside would run away, and his words were unclear, "Mmm... really mmm..."

  This little look could make An laugh, and the siblings had a big fight.

  "Dinner is ready!", Wang Da Ying shouted outside in a loud voice.

  Gu Anan jumped out of bed as soon as she heard, and before leaving the door, she didnt forget to let Gu Dongdong open his mouth to see if the sugar had melted, instructing, "Dont tell anyone else, you ate sugar!"

  Gu Dongdong nodded his head like he was pounding garlic, licked his lips and said, "I havent eaten, I havent eaten anything."

  "Very clever."

  The brother and sister went hand in hand to the main house, where the table was already filled with people.

  Apart from the four houses on this side, three people are missing. Tang Lan Zhi took Gu Wan Wan to the provincial city, and Gu Wei Qiang has not been seen since he left the west house, and his family is also used to him not being at home.

  Others were there.

  Oh! Thats right, Gu Anans third uncle Gu Weimin and his family are not in Gujia Village, they now live in the county town, doing carpentry work. Gu Weimin had exceptional manual skills since he was young, after graduating from elementary school, he didnt have the heart to continue studying, so he went to the county town to learn carpentry with a master carpenter. He was clever and diligent, very much liked by his master, who treated him like half a son. The master had only one daughter, and later, when the master passed away, he made a request that Gu Weimin become the son-in-law of the Li family.

  The reason is that he has only one daughter at home, and he has saved money for a lifetime. If he lets his daughter marry someone else, he will not be at ease. Only this closed-door disciple of his own can make him feel most at ease.

  Gu Weimin cherished the kindness of his teacher Fu, and also secretly developed feelings for Fus daughter Li Yue. It was only natural that they ended up together. At the time, it was said that becoming the son-in-law of the Li family caused a sensation in the entire Gujia Village.

  After all, in this day and age, any family with a slightly better condition would not let their own son become a live-in son-in-law.

  Especially since Old Gus family is considered a respectable family in Gu Village, this has really lost face for Old Master Gu.

  But Gu Weimin was a romantic, and in order to marry Li Yue, he made a big fuss at home for a long time. Later, Zhou Aijuan took pity on him and finally agreed.

  However, after the marriage was settled, Gu Weimin became a resident of the county town. The old Li carpentry shop had been famous for generations, and the familys wealth was considerable. They had a small courtyard in the best location in the county town, which was bright and spacious to live in. Those who originally looked down on Gu Weimin as an uxorilocal husband couldnt help but feel envious when they saw how prosperous he became after marriage.

  So, the Gu family had dinner together, with only Old Master Gu and Zhou Aijuan, Eldest Brother Gu Weiguo, Zhao Junyan, and their youngest son Gu Pingan, who was ten years old this year, two years older than Gu Dongdong.

  Logically, Gu Lao Das son, Gu Wei Guo, should be the oldest among his fellow disciples. However, when he was young, he fell from a tree while stealing bird eggs and broke his leg. He didnt receive timely treatment, so he became lame. As a result, no one wanted to marry him when it came time for matchmaking.

  It wasnt until Gu Weiguo was in his thirties that he met Zhao Junyan, who had escaped from disaster, and then married a wife and started a family.

  Gu Weiguo was dull and taciturn, Zhao Junyan also didnt like to talk usually. The 10-year-old Gu Pingan was taught by the two of them to be somewhat introverted, not daring to see people, and even afraid to speak loudly. The three of them sat at the edge of the table, each holding a bowl, and the old man hadnt spoken yet, nor did they dare to start eating.

  Sitting in the position under Old Man Gus hand was Lao Er and his family, Gu Weifu and Wang Da Ying, as well as Lao Ers three sons, Eldest Son Gu Shu, Second Son Gu Dan, and Third Son Gu Shuang. The eldest, Gu Shu, is twenty years old this year and is attending high school in the county town, but he has been held back a grade.

  Gu Dan and Gu Anan were the same age, both sixteen. However, Gu Dan was not cut out for studying, just like Gu Wei Min, he liked to work with his hands. The tables, chairs, and stools in their home were basically all made by Gu Dan after he went on a trip to the county town and came back to figure them out himself.

  Lets talk about Gu Shuang, the youngest son of Gu Weifu, who is the most favored one. He is like a little overlord in the Gu family, and everyone wants to give him the stars from the sky. Today, Gu Weiguo went to the riverbank and broke a hole in the ice, catching two big grass carp. Its rare for the family to have meat, and Gu Shuangs eyes are fixed on the fish in the big basin, swallowing every delicious part clean.

  When Gu Anan led out Gu Dongdong, there were still two empty seats on the right side of the old lady, which was obviously reserved for Gu Anan and her siblings. She roughly scanned the positions at the dinner table and also had a count in her mind.

  Apart from her parents and Gu Wanwan, there were also Third Uncles family, but this table of people was not small either, with twelve people scattered around. The variety of dishes on the table was not many, but they made up for it in quantity. A big bowl of winter radish, plus a large bowl of sour fish, and the sour vegetables were all pickled by Zhou Aijuan herself, with two large jars stored in the kitchen, enough to serve as side dishes for a year. As for the snow pears used to pickle the sour vegetables, they were all picked from the mountain by Anan alone. The sour taste of the pickled vegetables was particularly good, and it had a nice texture when chewed.

  No wonder, that big bowl of sour fish, made Anans mouth water a lot.

  As soon as the sister and brother appeared in the main room, Wang Da Yings mouth opened, "Ah ah, its not me saying this, but how can you say that everyone sitting here is a senior, and yet you two siblings make all these seniors wait for you? Its really impolite. Cant say, as soon as your mom left, you two dont even know the most basic way to show respect to seniors."

  In Gu Anans impression, Wang Da Ying always thought that Tang Lan Zhi was a cultured person, suppressing her team leaders wife and favoring Zhou Ai Jus family, including the children of the fourth house, making Wang Da Ying not get along with them.

  Gu Dongdong was small, but he knew that Er Baos wife was not saying good things. He subconsciously hid behind Gu Anan.

  Gu Anan pinched the small hand of Xiao Douding, not even looking at Wang Da Ying, and turned to Zhou Aijuan with a flattering face. "Grandma, Im late with Dongdong, its our fault, this biggest fish is for you as an apology from your granddaughter." As she spoke, she picked up her chopsticks and directly took a piece of fish with the least bones and the most meat from the bowl and put it in Zhou Aijuans bowl. Of course, Gu Lao Yezi didnt fall behind either. If she remembered correctly, the old man liked to eat fish belly, especially with some fatty tissue on top, which was extremely fragrant when bitten into.

  She smiled and said, "Grandpa, you should eat some more too. This fish belly is tender and delicious." This was indeed true, as the old man had lost most of his teeth and couldnt chew hard food, so this soft fish belly was just right for him.

  The old mans displeasure, which had been stirred up by Wang Da Ying, dissipated a bit, and his complexion looked slightly better.

  As for Wang Da Ying...

  Anan, from head to toe, never treated her as a scallion.

  As expected, Wang Da Ying, who had been ignored, was about to make a scene when Zhou Ai Ju slammed her chopsticks on the table. "If youre going to quarrel, then get out." The old ladys temper wasnt something to be trifled with; after all, she controlled the familys finances, and if she were to take sides, who knows how much would leak out of her pockets for the four rooms.

  Wang Da Ying had forgotten that most of the money in the old ladys hands was given by Lao Si Gu Wei Qiang and Lao San Gu Wei Min.

  The four brothers of the Gu family, the eldest has been working at home as a farmer for many years and doesnt have much money. The second brother is the team leader, but Gu Shu is studying in high school in the county town and is also a repeat student. Additionally, he needs to pay for tutoring, and there are two younger brothers, one of whom is an apprentice in the county town and the other is still in school. The money earned by the second brother, Gu Weifu, alone is not enough to cover Gu Shus expenses, let alone the two younger brothers.

  Gu Shu was able to attend high school in the county town thanks to the financial support of his uncles.

  This is also without dividing the family, everyone lives together, if one day they are divided, where will there be such a good life?

  Wang Da Ying wanted to mutter a couple more sentences, but was kicked by Gu Wei Fu sitting next to him and scolded, "You stinky woman, youre spouting nonsense, be careful or Ill beat you out of here."

  Gu Shu lowered his head, as if he hadnt seen it, but forgot that normally Wang Da Ying was most fond of him and Gu Shuang.

  Luckily, Gu Shuangxiao was there, he knew to protect Wang Daying. "Dad, I want to eat fish, the biggest piece."

  Gu Weifu loved this little girl the most, clever like him, would cry, he directly picked up a big piece of fish from the bowl and put it in Gu Shuangs bowl, "Eat."

  Gu Shuang sucked up the snot that was about to drip into the bowl, making a loud slurping sound.

  An Ans appetite was gone in an instant.

  Even the sour soup fish that I used to find appetizing now seems a bit dull.

  Anan has lost his appetite, but others havent! After the meal started, everyone was like a thief, competing to see who could swallow the fastest and whose chopsticks were the most accurate.

  Especially Wang Da Ying, with a look of guarding food, made Gu An An stare with wide eyes.

  Shes a mother figure, fighting with kids over food? ?? ?

  But everyone else also got used to it and didnt think it was strange anymore.

  Gu Anan took the fish that Zhou Aijuan had given her and divided it into two portions, putting one portion in Gu Dongdongs bowl and giving the other to Gu Pingan.

  To say, the fish on the table was caught by Gu Weiguo who braved the cold to go to the river and brought it back for his wife Zhao Junyan and Anan to nourish their bodies. However, their son Gu Pingans eyes were fixed on the bowl, swallowing saliva, but he didnt dare reach for a chopstick. Gu Weiguo and Zhao Junyan thought they were adults and didnt need to fight with the children for fish, so they just drank a bowl of fish soup instead. When Old Lady was distributing the fish, each person got one piece. Gu Pingan, being over ten years old, was at an age where he needed to eat more to grow, but the little bit of fish he got was barely enough to fill his teeth!

  So Gu Pingan suffered.

  Its not that she wasnt good to Gu Pingan, but this child has been quiet since childhood and is afraid of her. When theres food, although it wont be taken away from Gu Pingan, after all, a ten-year-old child is growing up, the portion they get is just enough for two or three mouthfuls, wheres the sufficiency?

  After finishing dinner, Gu Anan would normally take the initiative to do the dishes, but today after eating, she wiped her mouth and said, "Mom, Im going back to my room, I need to prepare for the entrance exam..."

  Zhou Aiju nodded and pointed to Gu Shu, "Go ask your brother to get the study materials, it can save a lot of trouble." Gu Shu had been in high school in the county town for a year already. Because of the new policy this year, he could take the college entrance exam, so he came back home and begged his grandfather to let him read for another year, and then he would have a good chance of getting into a good university. The whole Gu family was excited about having a university student.

  In addition, Gu Shu was the eldest grandson of the old Gu family, obedient, good at reading, and looked most like his grandfather when he was young. He pleased the old man, and Old Man Gu patted his hand, "Go read." Who paid for the tuition? Of course, it was taken care of by the fourth and third elders.

  "Brother, Im going to your room to get some books. Lend me all the ones youre not using now."

  Gu Shu hesitated, but was interrupted by the old lady, so he could only take Gu Anan to the south kang. Because Gu Shu was going to take the college entrance exam, his family specially arranged a separate room for him, unlike the other grandsons who were crowded together. Although Gu Shus room was only over ten square meters, the desk and wardrobe were neatly arranged, no need to look, all done by Gu Dan.

  Gu Shu pulled out a book from the bookcase with a sullen face, "An An, these are all old books, youd better be careful." In Gu Shus eyes, having one college student at home was enough, there was no need for Gu An An to come and show off, especially since she was just a girl. But it had to be said that Gu Shu had some reservations about Gu An An, unlike An Ans solid foundation, Gu Shu could only attend high school with the help of private tutors, barely scraping by in the county high school entrance exams.

  An An looked at the math textbook in front of her, smiling with deep meaning. "Isnt this a book issued by the school?", she said. It was free, yet someone had complained that it was too expensive. If it were the old An An, she would have really returned the "expensive" book and not dared to borrow it.

  But An now doesnt.

  "Isnt tuition money?" Gu Shu retorted, his face flushing with anger and embarrassment.

  Gu Anan gave Gu Shu a strange look, whispered "My dad paid for your tuition too", and then slammed the door shut, running away in a flash.

  Qis anger left Gu Shu breathless for a long time.

  Gu Anan, who had just received the book, was about to go to the old ladys house to ask where her father had gone. As she passed by the kitchen, she heard Wang Da Ying muttering, "Anan that dead girl, usually its her washing dishes, today she ran away quickly. Sister-in-law, you say, a little girl like her reading books, its not as good as helping with household chores, getting married early, and having her husband help support the family and several younger brothers at home, instead of wasting money on sending her to school."

  Zhao Junyan was collecting firewood, and she also took out the pickled vegetables that they would eat for dinner to soak in water, to thaw the ice. When she heard Wang Da Yings words, she originally didnt plan on speaking up, but thinking about the half piece of fish on the table, she said softly, "An An used to do less work? Moreover, An An is going to school, thats Old Fourth spending his own money, whats the waste in that? It seems like sending a nephew from another room to study isnt considered wasteful, but sending ones own daughter to study is wasteful? What kind of logic is this?"

  Zhao Junyan rarely speaks, but when she does, her words are sharp and to the point. After all, she comes from a wealthy family and has different ideas. Moreover, they have a peaceful life, can read books in the village, and even have a year-round workbook, pens, and other expenses that are all paid by Lao Si alone. Just for this, Zhao Junyan should thank her younger brother-in-law.

  Wang Da Ying wanted to retort but thought that if this got out, wouldnt it be troublesome when the time came for his younger brother-in-law to take care of his eldest sons tuition?

  In the end, he swallowed the rest of his words.

  Gu Anan listened for a moment, snorted with laughter, and turned into Zhou Aijius room.

  I asked my old dad, and then took a pen and a notebook from the old ladys box. These kinds of expenses at home were all bought by Gu Weiqiang when he was running outside, and were kept by the old lady. After all, there are many children in the family, and they are not given out, just in case the children lose them.

  After all, brushes and pens are precious things.

  These days, families that can read books are not many.

  The old Gu family suddenly had two high school students, which is also a great honor for the village.

  Gu Anan muttered, "Not even milk knows where Dad went, he doesnt even come home for meals." She turned around and returned to the west wing.

  The Gu Wei Qiang who was being nagged by Gu An An, this would be at the innermost household in Gu Jia Village, to say its a household, but its just a thatched hut made of straw, it can be said that even the pigpens outside are built with cobblestones, if were talking about workmanship, then the pigpens look more sturdy than the thatched hut.

  Those who were allocated to live in thatched cottages were none other than the city folks who had committed mistakes and been criticized and struggled against, and then banished to Gus Village.

  Because of the remote location, people in the village have been spreading rumors that the people living here are black five categories, bad elements, and everyone regards the thatched cottage as a plague god, no one dares to interact with the people on this side, for fear of getting into trouble.

  To say, this grass hut housed three people, a father and son duo, and an old man.

  The old mans name is Lang Yongling, 63 years old this year. He is a native of the Imperial City in Beijing. If the Lang family counts three generations up, they are considered to be nobles of the Manchu Qing dynasty, also known as Nian Gengyaos clan. If we talk about famous people, the Qing dynastys Heshen was from this surname, but after the founding of the country, it was changed to the Lang surname.

  While Lang Yongling is actually a member of the He Shen family, even if their house was confiscated in those years, they were still considered wealthy and had many valuable antiques, porcelain, and famous paintings. These treasures would have been enviable in the past, but now they are poisonous. Lang Yongling will be labeled as a bad element and exiled to Gujia Village because of these antiques. In his early years, Lang Yongling was also known as "Lang One Eye", and it was said that any cultural relics he had appraised were guaranteed to be genuine.

  What a pity!

  The times were not right, and Lang Yongling, who should have been a shining example for the country and preserved historical culture, was labeled as a bad element. His home was also ransacked, and it wasnt until his adopted son from early years made great efforts that he was exiled to Gus Village.

  Although Gus village is remote, it has a reputation for being simple and honest. Coming here, Lang Yongling will not suffer the same humiliation as he did elsewhere.

  As for the other father and son, they were famous orthopedic doctors in the provincial capital, especially the old man, Feng Xian. In his early years, he studied abroad in Britain to learn foreign orthopedic medical techniques. After completing his studies, he returned home and became a professor at the provincial hospital, saving countless people. However, he was labeled as a bad element by the rightists, stripped of his position, and exiled to Gus Village. Even his right hand was injured during the criticism sessions, which is ironic given that Feng Xian was an orthopedic doctor who became famous for treating hands. Due to improper treatment of his own injury, he became disabled and could no longer hold a surgical knife.

  As for his son Feng Qingyan, he could have been exempted after his divorce from his wife. However, Feng Qingyan was a filial son and worried that his old father would not be able to survive in exile alone. He secretly kept a foreign medical book which was found on him during the house search. After several rounds of bribery at home, both father and son were exiled together to Gus Village.

  He Lang Yongling became a companion, and it can be said that there is someone accompanying him.

  These three people are also open-minded, feeding pigs and sweeping pigpens every day. Lang Yongling loves antiques research, but after coming to Guxi Village, there is no such condition, so he retains his hobby of walking birds. The nobleman from the imperial city has a leisurely and arrogant air in his bones, even if he is exiled to a mountain valley, it is still engraved in his blood.

  He was still holding a bamboo bird cage in his hand, which was woven by his third brother Gu Weimin at the request of Gu Weiqiang. As for the thrush in the cage, Lang Yongling himself had set up a trap in front of the mountain and caught it. Although this thrush was not as smart as the parrot he used to raise at home, it was still pretty good.

  Gu Weiqiang came over this time to thank Feng Xian. He was a teacher in the transportation team, and during the heavy snowfall recently, he had to rush out to deliver goods. When he slammed on the brakes, his hand hit the steering wheel and got injured. This teacher had brought Gu Weimin into the transportation team, so Gu Weiqiang owed him a great debt of gratitude.

  Gu Weiqiang thought for a while and shifted his attention to Feng Xian. Feng Xians identity was too special, so he took advantage of the dark night to bring Feng Qingyan to the county town, specifically to show him to Teacher Fu. As it turned out, after two months of care, Teacher Fus wrist had recovered to its usual state, and his position in the transportation team was secured again. For Gu Weimin, these two people were great benefactors, and he still owed them a favor.

  Gu Weiqiang still held in his hand half a catty of roasted knife fish, a plate of peanuts, and half a catty of pigs ears, all of which were good dishes to go with wine.

  He went to Gu Ermaos house, took the table and chairs, and then made a detour from the back mountain, bypassing the thatched cottage. He pushed the door open and asked, "Is Old Feng in?"

  The old wooden door creaked and opened.

  Gu Anans sharp words hit the nail on the head, especially with her clear and calm eyes, making Tang Lanxi feel a bit uneasy and guilty. After all, she had obtained the proof of returning to the city by taking advantage of her childs father being away on a long-distance run, and had privately asked her second uncle, Gu Weifu, for help. Gu Weifu was the most beloved son of the old master of the Gu family and also the head of the village team, so it was easy for him to issue a proof.

  Tang Lanqis silence made the atmosphere in the house even more depressing.

  Gu An was sad not because the woman was leaving, but because she didnt care about anyone in this family, especially her eight-year-old son, and Tang Lan Zhi didnt care either.

  Her face turned pale, she closed her eyes, "Dong Dong? Dont you want Dong Dong?", this is a piece of meat that fell from Tang Lanzhis belly, and its still attached.

  Tang Lanzhi was a bit flustered, and the cloth bag in her hand was unconsciously clenched tightly. She stuttered, "I... Ill be back." These words, she herself didnt believe them. Tang Lanzhis hometown was in the provincial city, where her parents worked at an iron and steel factory, holding relatively high positions. However, years ago, to keep her two younger brothers from being sent to the countryside, she had been abandoned by her family. Later, she followed the factorys assignment and came to Gus Village, which was the most remote place.

  She has a grudge against her family, and for over a decade, she hasnt returned home even once. In the past, it was because of circumstances, but later on, when conditions improved and her children grew up, she simply lost interest in doing so.

  But this time Gu Weiqiangs warning thoroughly hurt Tang Lanzhis heart, in her opinion, all the best things at home should be given to her little daughter.

  Her husband has to take care of this family, okay!

  She accompanied him.

  But!

  Nowadays, the quota for going to school in the city can only be given to the eldest daughter, not the younger daughter. Isnt this cutting flesh from her heart?

  Tang Lan Zhi then moved her thoughts, the educated youth returning to the city could have a family quota, she thought and thought, this quota was given to her youngest daughter. Although she also loved her youngest son, Gu Dongdong was the root of the Gu familys fourth house, the old lady at home would not let her take him away.

  Instead, she took away her youngest daughter, and the old lady would not see her anyway, but rather turn a blind eye.

  As for Gu Weiqiang, this man, when he privately warned her not to fight for Anans school quota, when he handed over his salary to the old lady time and again, when he wronged her little daughter, their fate was exhausted.

  Gu Anan opened her eyes, her gaze clear and calm. Her body shook violently as she spoke in a firm tone, "You can leave, but leave the tickets behind. I need to go to the city for school next year, and Dongdong needs to start elementary school, all of which will cost money." If she wasnt mistaken, Tang Lanzhi had just stuffed all the tickets from their four rooms into her cloth pouch.

  Tang Lanji hesitated, but Gu Wanwan glared at Gu Anan, thinking she was being too presumptuous.

  Gu Anan took advantage of the situation, "Weve already lost our mother and are the laughing stock of the village. If we lose the last bit of money and tickets we have left, well have to drop out of school."

  Lost her mother, three words, became the last straw on Tang Lanzhis body, making her breathless.

  She dotes on her little daughter, but cannot deny that Gu Anan and Gu Dongdong are also flesh and blood from her body.

  It seems like Tang Lan Zhi is about to agree.

  Gu Wanwan stood up straight, "I can give it to you, but you have to send us to the village entrance."

  "Its all right," An said, and without another thought, she took the quilt from the bed and wrapped it around her soft body, then headed out.

  It wasnt until she came out that she realized the entire Gu family was eerily quiet, without a single sound. Even the usually rambunctious Gu Dongdong was nowhere to be found. She stared at the tightly closed door and asked, "Where did Dongdong and the others go?"

  It seems that she is about to leave this house, Gu Wanwan was somewhat excited, she rolled her eyes and replied in a rare good mood, "Gu Ermao is getting married today, grandma and the others went to help out, Dongdong also went."

  Upon hearing this, Gu Anan tightened her coat and smiled wryly, "No wonder...". No wonder she chose to leave home at this time. She must have thought that with her own mother and sister watching over the house, it was safe to go out.

  Gu Wanwan was suddenly annoyed, no wonder what?

  She glared at Gu Anan with hatred in her eyes.

  The footsteps under her feet also quickened with Tang Lanxi.

  The Gu familys house is in a good location, because Old Man Gu is the village head, and when it was the turn of the second son of the Gu family, he was also the team leader of the big team of Gu Village. Therefore, the location of the house is right in the center of the village, but Tang Lan and her mother are guilty!

  Afraid of running into acquaintances, what if we cant walk away, what to do?

  She took a detour, and it was snowing, the road was slippery, and it was not easy to walk. Gu Anan had never walked on such a muddy and slippery road before, and she fell several times along the way.

  She was determined to follow Tang Lanzhi, and after they reached the village entrance, she took all the tickets and money from them. That was the foundation for her brother and sisters future survival.

  After a long and winding road, they finally arrived at the village entrance. Gu Anan, who had been silent all along, suddenly shook his body, stretched out his hand, and grunted, "Give me money."

  Tang Lanji lowered her head and was about to untie her cloth bag.

  Gu Wanwan pressed down on her bundle of clothes and turned around, saying, "Sister, we still have a long way to go to the provincial city, and there are quite a few places where well need to spend money."

  "So?"

  Gu Wanwan stomped her foot, "This wooden big sister of mine is getting more and more out of touch with reality," she continued, "You and Dongdong are at home with Dad taking care of you, without spending a dime. But its my mom and I who went to the provincial city. What if grandma doesnt like us? At that time, this money and ticket will be our lifeline."

  Tang Lan heard this and thought it was reasonable.

  Her parents were originally biased towards her two younger brothers. Now that shes bringing her daughter back home, they naturally have to make some calculations.

  Thinking of this, her grip on the cloth bag also loosened a bit, apparently unwilling to give it away.

  Gu Anan wouldnt fall for their nonsense. "You go to the city and enjoy yourselves, but leave me and Dongdong in the village to suffer. And on top of that, you want to take away all our family property without leaving us anything? What kind of logic is this?"

  "Just say whether youll give it or not. If you wont, Ill shout," she said, her hand directly reaching into the pouch on Tang Lanxis body.

  As expected, once Gu Anan said she wanted to shout, Tang Lanxi and Gu Wanwan immediately wilted. They were secretly leaving with the people from the Gu family, and if Anan continued shouting, it was very likely they wouldnt be able to leave.

  Tang Lan Zhi was straightforward this time, directly undoing the bundle and pulling out five or six tickets, as well as a considerable amount of loose change.

  Gu Anan didnt refuse and directly took it over, holding it in her hand, and spat out two words, "Not enough."

  Gu Wanwan watched as Tang Lanxi handed the money and ticket to Gu Anan, her heart aching with pain. She hadnt expected that Gu Anan would be so presumptuous, and she opened her mouth to say, "Dont go too far."

  "Am I overdoing it? Is abandoning my husband and child not overdoing it?", In theory, she was supposed to go inform the Gu family members, but instead blocked Tang Lan Zhi and Gu Wan Wan from leaving. To be honest, she didnt have a good impression of Tang Lan Zhi and Gu Wan Wan, their hearts were no longer in this home, whats the point of staying in Gu Village?

  Its inevitable that they will leave sooner or later, and with these two gone, the household might be more peaceful.

  Gu Anan said so, Tang Lan Zhis attitude softened again, and she took out some more from the cloth bag. Gu Anan accepted them without hesitation.

  "Alright?"

  A familiar voice came from behind, causing Gu Anans face to stiffen. She turned around, and tears fell like broken pearls, "Dad!", she said, throwing herself into Gu Weiqiangs arms like a swallow returning to its nest, sobbing, "Dad, Mom doesnt want us anymore."

  Gu Weis body was a bit stiff, and An Ans personality had always been dull and rarely cried like this. Even when she wanted to give up her spot for Wan Wan in the past, she chose the most foolish method of kneeling in the courtyard without giving in.

  The more it was like this, the more uncomfortable Gu Wei Qiang felt in his heart. This child must have suffered a great deal of injustice!

  Its not bad to say that Gu Weiqiang is quite good-looking, with a standard Chinese face, and he often drives outside for years, carrying an air of dignity that village people dont have. He raised his eyes to look at Tang Lanzhi, and indeed, she had a burden on her back.
