This is to prevent theft. Gu Anan didn't notice the expression on Gu Wanwan's face, but was thinking that if they went back, would they still be able to come back to this mountain village? She asked tentatively, "Will you still come back?" As she spoke, she stared intently at Tang Lanxi, not missing any expression on her face. Since accepting the memories of her original body, she knew that the thing her original body feared most had happened - Tang Lanxi was going to return to the city. In these two years, policies had gradually relaxed, and sent-down youths could return to the city. This news was like timely rain in a long drought, making all the sent-down youths restless... Several educated youths from Gu's village had already left, abandoning their families and children, just to return to the city and live a good life.

  Gu Anan's 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 husband's absence while he was away on a long-distance run, and had secretly asked Gu Anan's second uncle, Gu Weifu, for it. Gu Weifu was the most beloved son of the old master of the Gu family and also the head of the village team, so getting a proof from him was naturally not a problem.

  Tang Lanqi's silence made the atmosphere in the house even more depressing.

  Gu Anan was sad not because the woman was leaving, but because she didn't care about anyone in this family, especially her eight-year-old son, and Tang Lanxi didn't care either.

  Her face turned pale, she closed her eyes, "Dong Dong? You don't want Dong Dong?", this is a piece of meat that fell from Tang Lanzhi's belly, and it's still attached.

  Tang Lanxi was a bit flustered, and the cloth bag in her hand was unconsciously clenched tightly. She stuttered, "I... I'll be back." These words, she herself didn't believe them. Tang Lanxi's hometown was in the provincial city, where her parents worked at an iron and steel plant, 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 factory's assignment and came to Gu's Village, which was the most remote place.

  She has grievances against her family members, and for over a decade, she hasn't returned home even once. In the past, it was because of lack of means, but later on, when conditions improved and her children grew up, she simply lost interest in doing so.

  But this time Gu Weiqiang's warning thoroughly hurt Tang Lanzhi's heart. In her opinion, all the best things at home should be given to their younger 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. Isn't 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 younger son, but Xiao Erzi Gu Dongdong was the lifeblood of the fourth house of the Gu family, 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 Anan's 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 wasn't mistaken, Tang Lan Zhi had just stuffed all the tickets from their four rooms into her own cloth pouch.

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

  Gu Anan took advantage of the situation, "We've 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, we'll have to drop out of school."

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

  She dotes on her little daughter, but cannot deny that Gu An'an 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 and said, "I can give it to you, but you have to take us to the village entrance."

  "It's 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 wasn't 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 Erma 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 An'an with hatred in her eyes.

  The footsteps under her feet also quickened with Tang Lanxi.

  The Gu family's 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 in Gujia 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 can't 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 An'an 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 sister's future survival.

  After a long and winding road, they finally arrived at the village entrance. Gu An'an, 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, turned around and said, "Sister, we still have a long way to go to the provincial city, and there are quite a few places where we'll 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 any money. But it's me and Mom who went to the provincial city, what if Grandma doesn't 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 she's bringing her daughter back home, they'll naturally have to think carefully about it.

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

  Gu Anan wouldn't 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 you'll give it or not. If you won't, I'll shout," she said, her hand directly reaching into the pouch on Tang Lanxi's 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 like this, it was very likely they wouldn't 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 An'an didn't 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 hadn't expected that Gu Anan would be so presumptuous, and she opened her mouth to say, "Don't go too far."

  "Am I overreacting? Is abandoning my husband and child not overreacting? Logically speaking, she was originally supposed to inform the Gu family members, but instead blocked Tang Lan Zhi and Gu Wan Wan from leaving. Honestly, she didn't have a good impression of Tang Lan Zhi and Gu Wan Wan, their hearts were no longer in this home, what's the point of staying in Gu Village?"

  It's inevitable that they will leave sooner or later, and without these two troublemakers, the family might be more at peace.

  Gu An'an said so, Tang Lan Zhi's attitude softened again, and she took out some more from the cloth bag. Gu An'an accepted them without hesitation.

  "Alright?"

  A familiar voice came from behind, causing Gu Anan's face to stiffen. She turned around, and tears fell like broken pearls, "Dad!", she said, throwing herself into Gu Weiqiang's arms like a swallow returning to its nest, sobbing, "Dad, Mom doesn't want us anymore."

  Gu Wei's body was a bit stiff, and An An's 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 unbearable Gu Wei Qiang's heart felt. This child must have suffered a great deal of injustice!

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

  Even little daughter's body was carrying a big bag, packed full of things.

  "He said in a low voice, 'Where is this going?'"

  At this time, Tang Lan Zhi also came back to her senses, stuttering, "Wei Qiang, you... how did you come back?", didn't you go for a long run?

  The question didn't get asked after all.

  "Where is this going?" Gu Wei Qiang repeated again.

  Gu Wanwan pulled Tang Lanxi's arm and whispered, "Mom, I miss Grandma, let's go visit her."

  Gu Wei comforted An'an in his arms before looking up at Tang Lan Zhi and asking, "Lan Zhi, are you coming back?"

  Life in rural areas is difficult, and among the educated youth who returned to the city, there isn't a single one willing to go back to the countryside.

  Even Tang Lanzhi is no exception, she didn't leave before because she couldn't bear to part with her children. Now that she's become heartless, people say that poor couples suffer a hundred hardships, and the feelings between her and Gu Weiqiang have long been consumed by the mundane routines of daily life, worn down by the endless cycles of cooking oil, salt, and supporting a large family.

  Tang Lanji was silent.

  But it is the best answer.

  The hard shoe hit Gu Weiqiang's forehead, and his heart also cooled down by half.

  He silently picked up his shoes, his eyes slightly red. "Dad, for the sake of Second Brother's family, you're so biased? Don't you care about our lives anymore? Aren't An'an and Dongdong your grandchildren?"

  The old man who was said to be sore, changed his face, but quickly turned natural. "Lao Si, this family I am most partial to whom, you still don't know, otherwise you can read junior high school graduation, go to the transportation team to work?"

  "I only know that in this family, you're most biased towards second brother. My two brothers and I have all been working hard for the sake of second brother. As for what you said about graduating from junior high school, the money I used to study was earned by me and Uncle You Shan going into the mountains to hunt and gather herbs. The job at the transportation team was also something I worked hard to get into with my own efforts. Have you ever helped me in any way?"

  The old man and the young man were both so choked with rage that they could hardly breathe, and seemed on the point of fainting.

  Gu Weiqiang said to Hua Zi who was watching from the side, "Hua Zi, look at Lao Yezi, don't let him faint."

  "Today, this family, whether divided or not, if you pass out and can't get more benefits for Second Brother, don't blame us."

  Originally, Gu Lao was going to faint, but when he heard Gu Wei say this, his spirit suddenly became lively. No! If they really were to divide the family property, he would take charge and not let Er Ge (second brother) suffer a loss. In Gu Lao's heart, Gu Er was the son he valued most and also the one who resembled him the most. This was evident from how he had supported Gu Er in becoming the leader of the production team in Gu Jia Village.

  Gu Weifu knew that the family was divided today, his heart was bleeding, and he kicked Wang Da Ying's chest with one foot. "You stinky woman, if it weren't for you, would my brothers turn against each other? Don't you hurry to apologize to Fourth Brother?"

  Wang Da Ying suddenly came back to his senses, if this family were to split up, who would support the eldest in their studies?

  Can she still be so idle at home?

  Will there still be so much food at home?

  As soon as she thought of this, she rolled over and hugged Gu Weiqiang's leg, freeing up one hand to slap herself repeatedly. Looking at the force she used, her face swelled up like a pig's head after just two slaps. "Fourth brother, it was my fault for being narrow-minded and not treating Anan and Dongdong as my own flesh and blood. Give me another chance, I'll definitely treat them like my own daughter and son."

  Gu Wei Qiang's expression was icy cold as he spat out two words, "Too late."

  Zhou Aiju led her own daughter-in-law and found that the whole village was quiet. She turned back, "What's going on?"

  Zhao Junyan shook his head.

  The two of them quickened their pace, and before they even reached the door, they heard Wang Da Ying crying out for her father and mother, begging Gu Wei Qiang to forgive her. Zhou Ai Ju's heart skipped a beat as she realized that after decades of being neighbors, everything could be cleared up with just a few words.

  She pushed through the crowd, taking in the expressions of each family member: the old man's stubbornness, the second son's reluctance, the youngest son's determination, Wang Da Ying's regret, and her grandson's evasiveness.

  Finally, it ended with a sigh, and this family was scattered, with gaps between the brothers.

  Zhou Aiju's body trembled, she closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, "Divorce, now!!!"

  The old master looked at his wife in disbelief, "Wife, I disagree."

  "Usually mild-mannered Zhou Aijuan suddenly cursed, 'What's the point of you disagreeing? Go ask which son besides Erge doesn't want to divide the family property? Which of our sons isn't helping to support Erge and his family just because of your face? Since Erge and his family are ungrateful, fine! Everyone can fend for themselves from now on!'"

  Old Gu refused to give up, "The eldest and third son definitely don't want to divide the family property, but the fourth one has a rebellious streak, always jumping around."

  "I just went to Old Three's house this morning, and his wife was very unwilling. Old Three takes 15 yuan every month to support the family, but his daughter-in-law made it clear that they can only support the elderly, not other idle people." This idle person is actually referring to Old Two's whole family. Although Old Big doesn't earn much money, he and his wife are diligent and always work hard on the land, and they're not the kind of people who like to take advantage of others. In a year, the money they earn is just enough for them to get by.

  The old fourth is even more unnecessary to mention, he alone supports this whole family.

  The four words "idle and lazy population" were deeply engraved on Gu Weifu's spine, he was still the team leader of Gujia Village, he didn't dare to think about how the villagers looked at him now, a team leader of a whole village, actually relying on his brothers to make a living, it was too embarrassing to say.

  "Dad, let's divide the family property!"

  As for what Lao Da thought, it was subconsciously ignored by him.

  Zhou Aiju glanced at her second child and sighed, then turned to look at her eldest child, "Weiguo, what's your opinion?"

  Gu Weiguo squatted on the ground, holding his head, and in his mind, scenes of his younger son being bullied by the older son's children, and his wife being ordered around by his second brother's wife, flashed before his eyes. He raised his head, his voice trembling, "Mom, I agree to divide."

  Zhao Junyan looked fiercely at her own man, with an uncontrollable surprise in her eyes. Gu Weiguo patted Zhao Junyan's shoulder with his hand, with a hint of relief and liberation.

  Since all four houses have agreed, there's no need to delay any further.

  Zhou Aiju was a fiery personality, and Gu Weiqiang assisted her by inviting the elder members of the clan to come out.

  It was settled, and Gu Wei Qiang still made time to hand over the hooves, pastry, and braised pork that he had bought back from the county town to Gu Hua Zi. In front of everyone, he instructed, "Hua Zi, you take these things back first, let your siblings cook them, and let An An and Dong Dong have a hot meal. I estimate it will still take some time, no need to wait for me." The children eating was the most important thing.

  Gu Hua Zi deliberately opened the bag, revealing the fragrant braised pork and pig's trotters inside. He was delighted, "Ah, this meat on the trotters is really good, with a mix of fatty and lean parts, I estimate it's over 10 pounds! An'an and Dongdong can't finish so much, our family's Xiaxia can also get a taste, and this braised pork looks like it's from the big restaurant in the county town. Just smelling it makes my mouth water. And there's Lao Fu Ji's crispy pastry, this is really good stuff! One bite and it's both fragrant and crispy, I almost want to swallow my tongue."

  He even walked in front of Wang Da Ying, and said with a smile, "Originally your three kids could still taste it, but now they can only look at the appearance. Second sister, thank you for being so stingy to Anan and Dongdong! Otherwise, how would my family get such a good deal?"

  Wang Da Ying didn't regret it at first, but when she saw a table full of food, all of which were her favorite dishes, her intestines turned green with regret. If she hadn't gone into the western-style house that morning to scold those two siblings, then these delicious dishes would have been in her belly by now.

  Next to him, Gu Shuang sucked his nose and swallowed saliva non-stop, wailing, "Mom, I want to eat meat, and also pastry."

  Wang Da Ying slapped him on the back of the head, "All you know is eating."

  Gu Hua Zi patted Gu Shuang's head with a profound meaning, intentionally saying: "Shuangzi, from now on you won't be able to eat anymore. Your mom has driven away the god of wealth at home! Hurry up and take a good look while you can, or else you won't even get to see it in the future." Who this god of wealth referred to was clear to everyone.

  Isn't it just Gu Wei Qiang, the fourth son of the Gu family?

  Onlookers were gloating, especially Zhao Gui Fang who had a grudge against Wang Da Ying. She laughed so hard her face was contorted, "You can't bring that braised pork to my house and tease our dog Dan again." The Gu family had a member named Gu Wei Qiang who worked outside and often brought back good things, especially for Gu Shuang. Her mother spoiled her and she had a similar temperament - cheap and annoying. Every time she got something good, Gu Shuang liked to take it in front of their dog Dan and tease him on purpose, making Dan cry out loud.

  Zhao Guifang was heartbroken, but there was nothing she could do. Which family could afford to eat meat at every meal like the old Gu family?

  Now that Caishen has left, let's see how Wang Da Ying will show off next.

  Gu Shuang cried even harder when she heard Zhao Guifang's words.

  Shouting at the top of one's lungs.

  On the side, Gu Dan comforted him with a few words, "Gu Shuang, don't cry, brother will make money to buy it for you in the future." As for Gu Shu, he was so disheartened that he didn't hear any of the commotion on this side.

  He only knew one thing, Fourth Uncle didn't care about him anymore.

  The tuition fee for the second half of the year is still eighty yuan.

  He also owed his classmates thirty-seven yuan. Previously, in front of his girlfriend, he boasted that after the New Year, he would buy a Phoenix brand bicycle and take her to ride along the river, but now the bicycle is gone too.

  Nothing is left.

  Gu Shu's eyes turned red as he rushed out.

  Gu Huazi saw it, shook his head, "The eldest of the Gu family is just a wolf in sheep's clothing, always pretending to be something he's not." He hummed a little tune, took big strides, carried a basket of things, and walked back and forth with a great mood.

  As for what's going on in the back, with Wei Qiang around, there won't be any losses to worry about. You should know that this kid, when he gets ruthless, even he himself is scared.

  In Gu Huazi's home, Gu An'an, who was full and content, snuggled up on Gu Banshia's warm kang, happily cracking pumpkin seeds and praising, "Aunt Juxiang's craftsmanship is really good, these pumpkin seeds are so fragrant!", better than the dried goods at the supermarket!

  Gu Banxia didn't even lift his head, directly grabbed a big handful and cracked the shell with his mouth, crunching on it raw, proudly saying "Otherwise, how could I have been raised to 150 jin?" Gu Banxia's height followed that of Gu Huazi, at 1.68 meters, but his weight was 105 kg.

  It's really not easy for someone to grow up to be a big fatty in this age.

  Gu Huazi and Ju Xiang's feelings for each other are genuine.

  The couple had only one daughter, Bàn Xià. There was no mother-in-law to nag her, and the old man was completely absorbed in his medicinal herbs, not paying attention to anything else, so Gu Hua's life was extremely happy.

  There was also a skilled craftsman in the village who earned enough to support his family, and with the help of good brothers from time to time. It can be said that Huazai's life is much better than Gu Weizhong's.

  When Gu Hua Zi returned home, he found that his three children were all huddled on the kang, cracking pumpkin seeds and looking very relaxed.

  He put the things he brought back on the kang table and called out, "An An, Dong Dong, come see what your dad has brought you." As for Gu Weiqiang, he subconsciously ignored him. Now, Huazi's mind was all about food.

  The room is too warm, the kang is burning hot, An'an lies down on the kang, his bones are all soft and comfortable, he doesn't want to move at all, and orders, "Dongdong, go take a look."

  Without waiting for her to finish, Gu Dongdong suddenly jumped up from the bed, tore open the bag and exclaimed loudly, "Sister, it's meat! And there are buns!" Gu Dongdong picked up a flaky bun and began feeding his sister.

  Gu Anan subconsciously opened her mouth and chewed, only then did she react, "What are you feeding me?"

  Gu Dongdong licked his fingers, "Delicious cake."

  The siblings came, and Gu Hua Zi couldn't help but laugh. He took out the pastry and put it on the table, "You two eat the pastry first, I'll get your aunt to heat up the meat, it's guaranteed to be delicious." At the same time, he also picked up a piece of pastry and pinched it in his hand, obviously as a snack for his wife.

  After walking out the door, Gu Hua Zi finally reacted and remembered that he had forgotten to say something. "An An, your father is back, and they are currently dividing up the family property. Once they finish dividing it up, he will be over."

  That half of the pancake was stuck in his throat, Gu An'an suddenly sat up with a start, his eyes wide with surprise, "What? Divorce?"

  "Come on, Dad, just agree with An An."

  "It's snowing outside and it's cold, if I kneel down and something happens to my body, what should I do?"

  "No way, the quota for studying in the city was something I fought to get for An An. Don't think that just because you've been taking care of An An and kneeling down, this quota can be swapped."

  "But the school quota is what An'an is willing to give up for Wanwan." The woman's voice was a bit shrill, she pulled over a teenage girl standing next to her. The girl looked exceptionally pretty, with pale skin and tears in her eyes, her slender body looking even more fragile as she forced a smile, "Dad, call sister in first."

  Where is this?

  Gu An'an's face turned even paler, but her skin was originally dark, looking like a blackboard smeared with chalk, ugly and tight.

  She took a deep breath and slowly raised her hand, but it wasn't her hand, it was dark and rough.

  Gu An'an lifted her head and faced the eaves in front of her. Under the eaves, there was a swallow's nest, and below it was a wooden door painted with red oil paint.

  This is not her home.

  This was Gu An An's first reaction, this body wasn't hers either, her hands wouldn't be so dark.

  Gu An'an's original body was that of an ordinary 90s-born little girl, but her father and mother were social elites with a pretty good family background, so An'an never suffered from any hardships since she was young.

  Moreover, as the only daughter in the family, whenever there's something good, parents naturally spare no effort to prepare it for their own child.

  However, Gu's mother has a way with educating children. Although An'an was raised in a pampered environment from a young age, she has a particularly good temperament and is well-behaved and understanding. An'an also inherited the best qualities of her parents and grew up to be very beautiful, it can be said that from childhood to adulthood, she was always the class beauty and school belle. Especially her skin, anyone who has seen An'an would say that this child must have been raised on milk, her skin is so white and tender that it makes people want to take a bite.

  An An has been beautiful since she was a little girl.

  From a fair and tender beauty, she turned into a dark and dirty radish head.

  Gu An'an felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart.

  She came to a strange world where there was no loving father and mother, everything could only rely on herself.

  Gu An'an sniffled, forcing her stiff joints to move, and her previously numb brain slowly came back to life, gradually accepting the memories of her original body.

  This is Gu's Village in 1977. Her birth name was also Gu An'an, the eldest sister of the four houses of the Gu family, who was sixteen years old this year. She had a younger sister and brother below her.

  And she would kneel here for a reason, this summer, the news of restoring the college entrance examination came from Beijing, and she happened to graduate from junior high school this year, which was an opportunity to leave the countryside and go to university.

  Gu An'an's father is Gu Weiqiang, a long-distance truck driver.

  Traveling south and north, with extensive experience, plus Gu An'an's grandmother, Zhou Aijuan was originally the village teacher, so the Gu family's ideology has always been relatively advanced. That is to say, among the four houses, whose child performs well will go to the county town to attend high school.

  It turns out that Zhou Aiju had five children in her lifetime, the first four were sons, and it was not until old age that she finally gave birth to a daughter. Who would have thought that the youngest daughter would be frail and leave early?

  In the second year after the departure of the youngest daughter, in the all-male household of the Gu family, Tang Lanzhi, the wife of Gu's fourth son, gave birth to a girl, who was Gu An'an. This child looked very much like the youngest daughter that Zhou Aijuan had lost.

  So, Gu An'an became the only child of the old Gu family. It's said that in rural areas, everyone wants a boy, but the third generation of the Gu family didn't have one, so when Gu An'an was born, she received all the love and attention, becoming the little princess of the Gu family.

  However, good times did not last long. In the second year, Tang Lanxi's belly was stirring again. One-year-old Gu An'an had just learned to walk and got into big trouble. She was in a walker, running wildly around the house, and accidentally bumped into Tang Lanxi, who was more than eight months pregnant, causing her baby to be born prematurely.

  When everyone thought it was a son, unexpectedly, Tang Lanxi's belly was particularly competitive and gave birth to another daughter, who is Gu Anan's sister, Gu Wanwan. However, due to Gu Anan's mischievousness, Gu Wanwan was born prematurely and had a weak body, so everyone's attention shifted to the newborn Gu Wanwan.

  Not only that, but Tang Lanxi also had a rift with Gu An'an because of this matter. Although it can be said that the palm and back of the hand are both flesh, the flesh on the palm is indeed thicker than the flesh on the back of the hand.

  Gu An'an knelt in the courtyard on this cold winter day because Tang Lanzhi spoke up, hoping Gu An'an would give up her spot to attend high school in the county town to Gu Wanwan. The reason was that Gu Wanwan had a strong physique and could do laborious work in the countryside, so she wouldn't starve in the future. On the other hand, Gu Wanwan's weak physique was caused by Gu An'an, so this opportunity should be given to Gu Wanwan, allowing her younger sister to go to town and get a rationed food supply, which would be the best arrangement.

  Tang Lan Zhi and Gu Wan Wan came to find Gu An An just because of this family, the one in charge is Zhou Ai Ju.

  Zhou Aiju has been especially fond of An'an since he was a child.

  In addition, Gu Wei Qiang had previously made it clear at home that whoever scored higher on the exam would go to the county town for high school. Gu An An's test scores were a big gap higher than those of her siblings, so Gu Wei Qiang was determined to let Gu An An attend high school in the county town. He had also made arrangements with the school in the county town and told his friends that he would send over the child with the best academic performance at home, and the teacher agreed.

  At this point, Gu An'an couldn't help but laugh bitterly. This body was really stubborn to the death, and in order to give away the quota, it even knelt down in the snow...

  Adorably silly.

  Gu An'an was a single daughter since childhood, and her parents doted on her. With good education, whether it's EQ or IQ, she was very online. Gu An'an saw that the quota belonging to her was going to be given to her sister Gu Wanwan.

  And she, the victim, was kneeling in the snow, while the beneficiary was comfortably at home.

  What's going on here?

  Although Gu Anan didn't have any sisters, her best friend Yan Yanyu's family was a big mess. The Yan family was considered to be from a wealthy and influential background, but her mother had passed away early on, and her father had found her a stepmother, who brought with her a younger sister into their household. From then on, Yan Yanyu embarked on a path of being taken advantage of without complaint, while also being disliked by her own family members.

  It's because Yan Yanyu's stepmother brought her daughter, a fighter among white lotus flowers.

  Thinking of this, Gu An'an rubbed her forehead.

  She leaned on the stone mill beside her and got up with difficulty, ignoring the pain in her legs, and limped into the main room.

  There were not a few people standing in the house, among whom an old lady sat in the first place. She looked kind and gentle, but when she saw Gu Anan limping in, her eyes flashed with a hint of heartache, followed by a glare at Gu Anan as if resentful that he had not become a better person.

  This quota was finally persuaded by her husband's good words to the younger son, and was specially set according to Anan's strengths. Who would have thought that this silly girl would rather go out into the icy snow on her knees than give up the quota.
