  The voice in her ear was getting clearer and clearer... "Cop, kiddo's dad, just agree with An An already."

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

  "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 place 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, this girl looked exceptionally pretty, with pale skin and tears in her eyes, her slender body made her look even more fragile, 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, making her look like a blackboard that had been smeared with something, looking extremely unattractive.

  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 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 Anan'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 child.

  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 Jiacun in 1977. Her original name was also Gu An'an, the eldest sister of the four houses of the Gu family, who was 16 years old this year. She had a younger sister and brother below her.

  And she would kneel here for a reason, in the summer of this year, from Beijing came the news of restoring the college entrance examination, and she just graduated 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 Lan Zhi'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 Lan Zhi, who was over 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 newly born Gu Wanwan.

  Not only that, but Tang Lanqi also had a rift with Gu Anan because of this matter. Although the palm and back of the hand are both flesh, the flesh on the palm is indeed thicker than the back of the hand.

  Gu An'an knelt in the courtyard on this cold winter day because Tang Lanzhi spoke up, hoping that 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 the city 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, where the host is Zhou Ai Ju.

  Zhou Aiju has been especially fond of An'an since childhood.

  In addition, at the beginning, Gu Wei Qiang specifically stated at home that whoever scored higher on the exam would go to the county town to attend high school. Gu An An's test score was a big gap higher than any of her siblings, so Gu Wei Qiang insisted that Gu An An go to the county town to attend high school. He had also made arrangements with the teacher at the high school in the county town, saying that he would send over the child who scored the highest academically, and the teacher had agreed. When COP saw this, Gu An An let out a bitter laugh. This body was really stubborn, even willing to kneel in the snow to give away the spot...

  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 Yan's family was a big mess. The Yan family was considered to be wealthy, but her mother had passed away early, and her father had found her a stepmother, who brought with her a younger sister into their home. From then on, Yan Yan embarked on a path of being taken advantage of and disliked by her own family members.

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

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

  She leaned on the stone mill beside her and struggled to get up, 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 son, and it was specially set according to Anan's advantages. Who would have thought that this silly girl would rather go out in the ice and snow and kneel down, but also want to give up the quota.

  Zhou Aiju got angrier and angrier, directly turning her head away, out of sight, out of mind.

  Gu An'an felt a warmth in her heart and knew she had made her grandmother angry. She thought to herself, "I'll go coax her later."

  A little boy next to her, fell into Gu Anan's arms, pointing at Gu Anan's pants that were wet halfway up the leg, and whispered, "Sister, does it still hurt?" This boy was none other than Gu Anan's younger brother, Gu Dongdong, who was eight years old this year and had a very good relationship with Gu Anan.

  Gu An'an shook her head.

  Tang Lanxi supported Gu Wanwan, who was arguing with Gu Weiqiang. Gu Weiqiang's temples were bulging with rage as he shouted, "The quota for County High School is not something we can just swap out! They made it clear from the start that they wanted the student with the highest score from our village school. Now that An'an has scored the best, she should be the one to go to County High. Secondly, Wanwan's health is poor, and if she were to attend high school, she would have to board, who would take care of her?"

  Tang Lan stood up straight and argued, "It's possible to swap An'an's transcript with Yuanyuan's. It's precisely because Yuanyuan is in poor health that she can't be delayed in this rural area."

  Watching Tang Lanxi single-mindedly fighting for her daughter's interests, Gu Anan's heart cooled down by half. After all, it was just a slap on the back of the hand, thin skin and little flesh, not painful at all.

  Tang Lan Zhi's selfish words made the room fall silent instantly, even Zhou Ai Ju, who didn't care about worldly affairs, shifted her attention to Tang Lan Zhi.

  She glared at her own youngest son, blaming him for spoiling his daughter-in-law. She said sternly, "Although my old Gu's family is not a big clan, it's not so miserable that the younger daughter takes the place of the older daughter to go to school. Gu Wanwan, you tell me, was it because your grades were poor and you couldn't get into the county high school, or did your sister with good grades let you take her place?"

  Zhou Aiju had always been gentle and kind in this house, rarely speaking loudly. Her sudden outburst of anger left the few people inside the room stunned for a moment.

  The named Gu Wanwan finally moved out slowly from behind Tang Lanzhi, she moved her lips, her face turned pale, but ultimately didn't speak up, her mom was scolded by grandma, the only one she could turn to for help was her sister.

  She looked at Gu An'an with slightly red eyes, hoping that Gu An'an could help her out, after all, usually when Gu Wanwan got into trouble, in the end it was always An'an who made amends, who let An'an be kind-hearted and felt sorry for his own little sister, so he naturally took the blame.

  An An's little brother, Xiao Dou, tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "Sister, don't agree." Although Second Sister was also his own sister, in Gu Dongdong's eyes, Big Sister was still the best. Gu Dongdong was small but clever, knowing that his mother liked Second Sister the most, while Big Sister was the one who spoiled him the most. He had secretly listened to Grandma and Father's conversation, and knew that going to county town to attend high school was equivalent to having half a foot in the city, which concerned Big Sister's future, and couldn't be delayed.

  Even if Second Sister cries, it's no use.

  Gu Wanwan bit her lip and nodded, "Where's mom, I'm there."

  Gu Wei Qiang waved his hand and pulled Gu An An back, walking away without looking back.

  Duan Liu Tang Lan Zhi stood dazedly in the snowy ground, unaware of what she was thinking.

  Gu Wei Qiang had just taken a few steps when an eight-year-old Gu Dong Dong came running from in front of him, and with one glance, he saw Tang Lan Zhi standing at the village entrance with her large bags. He immediately threw himself at Tang Lan Zhi's legs, crying his heart out, "Mommy, mommy, don't go...", Eight-year-old Gu Dong Dong knew that Tang Lan Zhi was biased, but after all, she was his mother.

  He is like all other children, yearning for motherly love.

  Tang Lanxi lowered her head, looking at Gu Dongdong who was crying and gasping for breath. She squatted down, prying open Gu Dongdong's hands one finger at a time. Her eyes sparkled with tears as she spoke in a firm tone, "Dongdong, I'm sorry..." Sending their young daughter to the provincial city for school was only one aspect of it; she would be able to leave, but her biggest personal desire was that she herself didn't want to stay in the countryside anymore and didn't want to live a hard life.

  She had heard a lot of news about the returning educated youth, and those educated youth were all doing well.

  If I had a choice, who would want to stay in this mountain valley?

  Gu Dongdong sat in the snow, wailing loudly, watching as Tang Lanzhi's figure grew farther and farther away.

  Looking at Gu Weiqiang beside him, his heart was broken.

  He picked up Gu Dongdong from the snowy ground and comforted him, "Don't cry, Dad will find you a beautiful stepmother."

  Gu Anan almost fell into the snow when she heard this sentence, was there ever such a comforting way to scold one's son?

  She stuffed a large handful of money and tickets into Gu Dongdong's arms, domineeringly saying "Let's go! Sister, I'll take you to buy sweets, let you eat sweets every day, and eat meat for every meal." Indeed, with sweets and meat, everything is fine. Xiaodou heard that there were sweets to eat and meat to eat, and Jindou also stopped crying.

  He stared blankly, "Buy sugar, eat meat."

  Gu Anan's eyes sparkled as she looked at Gu Weiqiang, with an expression of seeking praise, "Dad, I cheated that woman out of a lot of money and tickets."

  The daughter-in-law ran away, which was originally a sad thing, but it was made into a joke by the eldest daughter, and I couldn't help but feel better.

  Gu Weiqiang held his youngest son in one arm and his eldest daughter with the other, shouting "You're indeed my Gu Weiqiang's daughter!" Perhaps in Gu Weiqiang's heart, Tang Lanzhi would eventually leave this home anyway, so having a premonition made it not so difficult to bear.

  Actually, to tell the truth, Gu Weiqiang and Tang Lanzhi were together back then because of Tang Lanzhi's scheme. Tang Lanzhi was a cultured person from the big city, with a good appearance, a white and tender oval face, sparkling eyes, and a head of black braids. When Tang Lanzhi first arrived in Gujia Village, she stunned all the young men in the village.

  The young men in Gu's Village, one after another, came to Tang Lan Zhi to show their affection, but Gu Wei Qiang was an exception. At that time, he had just learned how to drive and his mind was preoccupied with how to get into the transportation team so he could stay behind, without any thought of romance.

  Due to the transportation team's relationship, Gu Weiqiang was the only one in the village who often went out. He came and went, and many educated youths asked Gu Weiqiang to bring things from the county town for them.

  Tang Lanxi was no exception. Logically speaking, with such close contact between Gu Weiqiang and Tang Lanxi, he should have been moved by this watery, pale city girl, but he wasn't.

  At the age of eighteen or nineteen, Gu Weiqiang was emotionally immature and had not opened up. He worked hard because compared to city people, this rootless rural person wanted to enter the transportation team, which was simply a fantasy.

  He put all his mind on the transportation team.

  However, he forgot that a woman's heart is the most difficult to measure.

  Tang Lan Zhi was used to the young men in the village adoring her, but suddenly encountering a wooden lump who didn't even acknowledge her, naturally caught her attention.

  It's not that Tang Lanzhi didn't think it over carefully, but going back to the city is now out of the question. If she wants to live a good life in Gu's Village without having to do hard labor in the fields, marrying Gu Weiqiang would be her best option.

  He's the village head, and Gu Weiqiang's second brother is now the team leader. As for Gu Weiqiang himself, he has a robust build, tall and strong, and his work as a temporary worker in the transportation team has great prospects.

  Tang Lanqi had the idea of marrying Gu Weiqiang.

  Gu Wei Qiang, who was initially infatuated with Tang Lan Zhi, was no match for her. After a series of encounters, he was naturally captivated by her gentle and charming demeanor. The two got married and spent a sweet and romantic period together.

  However, as time went by, people's flaws began to show. Tang Lanzhi was vain and selfish, while Gu Weiqiang knew about it but chose to turn a blind eye, after all, this woman had given him three children.

  In public and in private, he should give way to her.

  So, Gu Weiqiang worked even harder outside, wanting to earn more money to satisfy his young wife.

  Gu Weiqiang publicly announced that his monthly salary was 37.5 yuan, but he drove long distances and could earn some extra money on the side. His monthly extra income was much more than his salary, and after deducting the part he gave to Zhou Aijuan, the remaining money was basically all given to his wife Tang Lanxi.

  But Tang Lanzhi is a city girl, and her hands are originally big. Moreover, with Gu Wanwan at home who has poor health, their food, clothing, housing, and transportation are all raised in comparison to city girls. The money earned by Gu Weiqiang is basically spent on Tang Lanzhi and Gu Wanwan, the mother-daughter duo.

  This time the quota for going to high school in the county town, money is one aspect, on the other hand, it really depends on the grades. Tang Lanzhi has enough money to let Gu Wanwan go to high school in the county town as well.

  However, she cannot do so because the family has not yet divided up the property, and the four houses are still united. Each house sends one person to the county town to study.

  If that's the case, they would have sent two daughters from the four rooms to study in the county town. Tang Lanzhi dared say that she would be scolded to death by her sisters-in-law.

  So he holds onto the money tightly and doesn't dare spend it.

  Gu Weiqiang led a boy and a girl walking back and forth, just meeting Zhou Aijuan who had just returned from Er Ma Zi's house, as well as Da Sao and Er Sao.

  Zhou Aiju had always doted on Gu An'an, and at a glance, she saw that Gu An'an's clothes were dirty and her hair was disheveled.

  She immediately quickened her pace, pulled over Gu Anan's arm and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Who bullied you?"

  Gu An'an saw the old man in front of her, and the tears that had stopped falling again flowed down. However, she glanced at so many people and considered her own father's face, feeling embarrassed to say that her stepmother had run away and didn't want them anymore.

  Just pouted and didn't say anything in the end.

  In Gu Weiqiang's arms, Gu Dongdong didn't care that much. Seeing his sister cry, he also started wailing and said, "My... my mom doesn't want us anymore."

  Zhou Aiju's face changed, she stared with her eyes wide open at her youngest son.

  Gu Wei Qiang smiled wryly, "Mom, Lan Zhi has returned to the city."

  "Who gave her the certificate?" The old lady was sharp, she had known all along that this young daughter-in-law was too clever and couldn't be kept down, so she had specifically instructed Old Second not to give the young daughter-in-law a certificate.

  In those days, educated youth who wanted to return to the city had to get a certificate from the village's team leader, and also needed a certificate of acceptance from their relatives in the city. Both certificates were required to leave the village.

  Gu Wei Qiang hesitated, "Second brother?", he actually understood the situation clearly. He had even greeted his own second brother specially, if Tang Lan Zhi had come to him privately to open a proof, he would have agreed with just one word, but unexpectedly, this time's proof was opened by him, yet he didn't know anything about it.

  When others want to leave, using such petty tricks, how can they be kept from leaving? Moreover, since their heart is no longer here, what's the point of staying?

  Zhou Aiju dragged Gu An'an away with a fierce momentum, rushing back and forth.

  Gu Wei Qiang shouted from behind, but it was no use.

  The two daughters-in-law who were originally following Zhou Aiju, the elder daughter-in-law Zhao Junyan and the younger daughter-in-law Wang Daying, looked at each other and said: "Did the fourth daughter-in-law run away?"

  This is big news.

  However, Zhao Junyan never liked to gossip, and after finding out, she would at most mention it briefly to her husband.

  But Wang Da Ying was different, as the wife of the team leader, she felt superior to others, and in the village, she was also considered a person who could speak with authority. Whatever small news there was, she would be the first to know. It's worth noting that her mother-in-law had always looked down on Er Si's wife, but now it seemed that Er Si's wife was not even worthy of consideration, and she had directly returned to the city.

  Wang Da Ying felt a mix of emotions, both happy and worried.

  She naturally noticed Gu Anan's disheveled appearance, and intentionally said, "Anan, your mom is really heartless, look at the state you're in, and she still left without even looking back."

  Gu An rolled her eyes, from the memories she received, Second Aunt wasn't a good person.

  Zhou Aiju's footsteps paused, warning, "Daying, watch your mouth, don't say what shouldn't be said, shut up."

  Wang Da Ying perfunctorily responded with an "uh-huh".

  Zhou Aiju left, and the news spread throughout the village. Tang Lanzhi was a ruthless woman who didn't care that her own daughter had fallen apart like a broken doll, she still wanted to leave Gujia Village.

  Gu An'an and Gu Dongdong became like small white vegetables soaking in bitter water, motherless children.

  ……

  Take care of your family.

  Inside the east house, a warm kang was burning, and the adults of the Gu family were all huddled inside, silent. Although it was a warm kang, Zhou Aijuan's heart had cooled down by half.

  The old man sat on the edge of the kang, holding a tobacco pouch in his hand, taking an occasional puff, and gazing out the window as if he hadn't heard a word of what Zhou Aijuan had said.

  Guo Weiguo, the eldest son of the Guo family, squatted beside the kang, his head lowered, lost in thought.

  Only Gu Jia Lao Er Gu Wei Fu then occasionally retorted, "Mom, the proof has been issued, and Lao Si's daughter-in-law has also left. You're still saying these things, it's useless."

  This has really infuriated Zhou Aijuan.

  She slapped a palm on Gu Weifu's head, scolding, "If it weren't for your wife, you'd be standing and talking without any discomfort. If your family's Da Ying wants to return to the city, does this prove that you can drive so smoothly?"

  Gu Weifu was indeed the team leader, and when he spoke up, he had a reasonable argument. "What's wrong with being open? Husband and wife are one entity. If my wife is living well, I'm happier than anyone else. Eldest Fourth Brother, don't you think that makes sense?"

  Gu Wei Qiang, who was asked to speak, looked up and stared deeply at Gu Wei Fu. After a long while, he finally spoke, "Second brother's ideological awareness is indeed high." He was willing to let Tang Lan Zhi go, but it was another matter that his own second brother had privately opened the proof without even telling him. It wasn't that he didn't want to let Tang Lan Zhi go, but rather that he was angry at his own second brother for helping to cover up the truth. As Tang Lan Zhi's man, he understood why she wouldn't speak, but Gu Wei Fu, as his second brother, had helped to conceal the truth tightly.

  This thing is indeed done in a very unscrupulous way.

  It's just not feeling right in my heart.

  Gu Wei Qiang had just taken a few steps when an eight-year-old Gu Dong Dong came running from in front of him. He immediately saw Tang Lan Zhi standing at the village entrance with big bags, and without hesitation, he hugged her leg and cried loudly, "Mom, mom, don't go..." Eight-year-old Gu Dong Dong knew that Tang Lan Zhi was biased, but after all, she was his mother.

  He is like all other children, yearning for motherly love.

  Tang Lanxi lowered her head, looking at Gu Dongdong who was crying and gasping for breath. She squatted down, prying open Gu's hands one finger at a time. Her eyes sparkled with tears as she spoke firmly, "Dongdong, I'm sorry..." Sending her younger daughter to the provincial city to study was only one aspect of it; she herself would be leaving too. The biggest personal reason was that she didn't want to stay in the countryside anymore and didn't want to live a hard life.

  She had heard a lot of news about the returning educated youth, and those educated youths were all doing well.

  If I had a choice, who would want to stay in this mountain valley?

  Gu Dongdong sat in the snowy ground, wailing loudly, watching Tang Lanzhi's figure getting farther and farther away.

  Looking at Gu Weiqiang beside him, his heart was broken.

  He picked up Gu Dongdong from the snowy ground and comforted him, "Don't cry, Dad will find you a beautiful stepmother."

  Gu Anan almost fell into the snow upon hearing this sentence, was there ever a comfort like this for a son?

  She stuffed a large handful of money and tickets into Gu Dongdong's arms, domineeringly saying "Let's go! Sister, I'll take you to buy sweets, let you eat sweets every day, and eat meat for every meal." Indeed, with sweets and meat, everything is fine. Xiaodou heard that there were sweets to eat and meat to eat, and Jindou also stopped crying.

  He stared blankly, "Buy sugar, eat meat."

  Gu Anan's eyes sparkled as she looked at Gu Weiqiang, with an expression of seeking praise, "Dad, I cheated that woman out of a lot of money and tickets."

  Originally, the daughter-in-law had run away, which was a sad thing, but it was turned into something that couldn't be helped by the big girl's antics.

  Gu Weiqiang held his youngest son in one arm and his eldest daughter with the other, shouting "You're indeed my Gu Weiqiang's daughter!" Perhaps in Gu Weiqiang's heart, Tang Lanzhi would eventually leave this home anyway, so having a premonition made it not so difficult to bear.

  Actually, to tell the truth, Gu Weiqiang and Tang Lanzhi were together back then because of Tang Lanzhi's scheme. Tang Lanzhi was a cultured person from the big city, with a good appearance, a white and tender oval face, sparkling eyes, and a head of black braids.

  However, he forgot that a woman's heart is the most difficult to measure.

  Tang Lan Zhi was used to the young men in the village adoring her, but suddenly encountering a wooden lump who didn't even acknowledge her, naturally caught her attention.

  It's not like there's any other way, after Tang Lan Zhi's careful consideration, returning to the city is hopeless. If she wants to live a good life in Gu's Village without having to do heavy farm work, marrying Gu Wei Qiang is the best solution.

  He's the village head, and Gu Weiqiang's second brother is now the team leader. As for Gu Weiqiang himself, he has a robust build, tall and strong, and his work as a temporary worker in the transportation team has great prospects.

  Tang Lanzhi began to think of marrying Gu Weiqiang.

  Gu Wei Qiang, who was initially hesitant, was no match for Tang Lan Zhi. After a series of events, he was captivated by her gentle and charming demeanor. The two got married and spent a blissful honeymoon period together.

  However, as time went by, people's flaws began to show. Tang Lanzhi was vain and selfish, while Gu Weiqiang knew about it but chose to turn a blind eye, after all, this woman had given him three children.

  In public and in private, he should give way to her.

  But Tang Lanzhi is a city girl, and her hands are originally big. Moreover, with Gu Wanwan at home who has poor health, their food, clothing, housing, and transportation are all raised in comparison to city girls. The money earned by Gu Weiqiang is basically spent on Tang Lanzhi and Gu Wanwan, the mother-daughter duo.

  This time the quota for going to high school in the county town, money is one aspect, on the other hand, it really depends on the grades. Tang Lanzhi has enough money to let Gu Wanwan also go to high school in the county town.

  However, she cannot do so because the family has not yet divided up the property, and the four houses are still united. Each house sends one person to the county town to study.

  If so, they would have four houses for two daughters to go to the county town to study. Tang Lanzhi dared say that she would be scolded to death by her sisters-in-law.

  So he holds onto the money tightly and doesn't dare spend it.

  Gu Weiqiang led a boy and a girl walking back and forth, just meeting Zhou Aijuan who had just returned from Er Ma Zi's house, as well as Da Sao and Er Sao.

  Zhou Aiju had always doted on Gu An'an, and at a glance, she saw that Gu An'an's clothes were dirty and her hair was disheveled.

  She immediately quickened her pace, pulled over Gu Anan's arm and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Who bullied you?"

  Gu An'an saw the old man in front of her, and the tears that had stopped falling again flowed down. However, she glanced at so many people and considered her own father's face, feeling embarrassed to say, "My dad's wife has run away, don't want them anymore."

  Just pouted and didn't say anything in the end.

  In Gu Weiqiang's arms, Gu Dongdong didn't care that much. Seeing his sister cry, he also started wailing and said, "My... my mom doesn't want us anymore."

  Zhou Aiju's face changed, she stared with her eyes wide open at her youngest son.

  Gu Wei Qiang smiled wryly, "Mom, Lan Zhi has returned to the city."

  "Who gave her the certificate?" The old lady was sharp, she had known all along that this young daughter-in-law was too proud and couldn't be kept down, so she had specifically instructed Old Second not to give the young daughter-in-law a certificate.

  In those days, educated youth who wanted to return to the city had to get a certificate from the production team leader in the village, and also needed a certificate of acceptance from their relatives in the city. Both certificates were required to leave the village.
