A sudden slap in the face left Ding Xiaoxiao stunned. She slowly raised her hand to cover her cheek, and a fierce hatred flashed in her eyes as she gritted her teeth, staring at him with a look that said if it weren't for the occasion, she would have bitten Sun teacher to death. "You hit me! Aren't you afraid of going underground without a face to see my dad?"

  An An couldn't describe the look in Ding XiaoXiao's eyes. It wasn't a daughter looking at her mother, but rather like she was staring at an arch-nemesis.

  Teacher Sun saw Ding Xiaoxiao's unrepentant look and mentioned her late husband, and the fire in her heart couldn't be held back, she raised her hand and was about to hit her again.

  This time Ding Xiaoxiao didn't dodge or evade. She deliberately stuck her right cheek close to Mr. Sun's hand, staring with hatred in her eyes, "Go ahead and hit me! Kill me if you can, I'd rather go down and accompany my dad!"

  Ding Xiaoxiao said this, and Sun teacher's hand that was raised high suddenly trembled violently, almost causing her to fall to the ground. She took a deep breath, and slowly put it down, filled with helplessness. "What do you want to do?"

  Ding Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to make a condition, "I can live here too." She changed her tone and pointed at Anan, "Whatever she has, I want it too." This sentence depends on how one interprets it. Does Ding Xiaoxiao want everything that Anan has, or is she referring to Lu Yan, this living person?

  An An's eyes flashed with a cold light, and she smiled lightly. "Are you referring to life in general or the person next to me?" She was the kind of person who liked to put everything on the table, saying what needed to be said without beating around the bush, unlike Ding Xiao Xiao who often spoke with hidden meanings.

  Suddenly having her intentions exposed, Ding Xiaoxiao's face turned red, and she said sternly, "Anyway, I want everything you have." As soon as she said that, the meaning behind it was clear to everyone present who wasn't an idiot.

  The girl from a good family is so disappointing, shameless, it makes Teacher Sun's heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys all ache. She stood with one hand on her waist and the other pointing at Ding XiaoXiao, "Are you still not ashamed?!!"

  Ding Xiaoxiao stuck out her neck and argued, "Why can Gu An'an have it, but I can't?" It's the same for people.

  An An's eyes flashed with a hint of confusion. How did Ding Xiao Xiao know that her name was Gu An An? She had been here for so long, but had never revealed her own name.

  Lu Yan, who had always been treated as an invisible person, cast a glance at Ding Xiaoxiao with a calm and collected expression, but it made Ding Xiaoxiao's whole body feel icy cold. She didn't know how to describe those eyes - they were stern, cold, and full of disgust. She couldn't help but shrink her neck.

  Lu Yan only glanced at her once, and then didn't spare any more glances for Ding XiaoXiao. He tightly held onto AnAn's hand, the smile on his lips softened a bit, "With you by my side, how could I possibly look at anyone else?" Especially not someone as filthy as this woman.

  Who is this person? Everyone present knows it in their heart.

  An's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of panic, her heart racing rapidly. This was happening in her own home! Next to her stood her old father, Sun teacher, and her two younger brothers - this was her family's stronghold. And yet, Lu Yan still dared to say such things to provoke her, even if it was just to vent his own frustration.

  Lu Yan's words came out, and for the first time, Gu Wei had a good expression on his face when facing Lu Yan. In his heart, he secretly estimated that this turtle grandson was not good at anything else, but when it came to An An, he still had some true feelings, and wasn't so easily led astray by outsiders.

  But Teacher Sun's face was burning with shame, this was even more unbearable than being slapped in public!

  A piece of flesh that fell out of her belly, knowing that An'an and Lu Yan had feelings for each other, still spared no effort to promote herself, really losing face.

  Miss Sun took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, and said decisively, "Xiao Xiao, you can have An An, it's only fair. You are a piece of flesh that fell from your mother's body, so I should be the one to take care of you. An An is Gu Shifu's daughter, so she should be taken care of by Gu Shifu. As a woman, I'm already at a disadvantage, raising you alone while Gu Shifu raises three children."

  Teacher Sun had to draw a clear line between them, it was really helpless. When she said this, her heart was bleeding. This was to push away the relationship that she had finally established with Anan and his siblings, but in order not to let Xiaoxiao drag down Anan and his siblings, she had to draw a clear line early on.

  When she was about to give up, she couldn't let Xiaoxiao's mistakes ruin this hard-won family.

  An'an was somewhat surprised, but after a moment's thought, he understood Sun teacher's kindness.

  She fell silent for a moment, her voice barely audible, "Mom! You don't have to do this." Although she knew that Sun Laoshi's method was the best, An'an felt a pang of sadness in her heart. This family had gone through half a year of grinding and polishing, and finally accepted each other, but now this rift had opened up a gap that would be difficult to mend, especially with Ding Xiaoxiao, an outsider, stuck in between like a shard of glass.

  Ms. Sun waved her hand, indicating that she had made up her mind. Seeing the discontent on Ding Xiaoxiao's face, she self-deprecatingly said, "Your mom is incompetent, with a monthly salary of 37.6 yuan, and has sponsored five students in school, each receiving 3 yuan per month. I'm left with only over 20 yuan, from now on, your mom will thicken her skin, eat at Mr. Gu's, live at Mr. Gu's, and leave the remaining money for you to spend as you like, as long as you don't bother the few kids at home."

  The child mainly refers to Anan.

  Actually, when Teacher Sun said this, it meant that she had given up on XiaoXiao and chosen AnAn. Otherwise, she wouldn't have handed over the money to Ding XiaoXiao, but instead kept her by her side, taking good care of her and educating her, straightening out Ding XiaoXiao's twisted nature.

  But after a short while, Teacher Sun understood that even if she were to teach Xiao Xiao well, it would be impossible. On the contrary, letting her live in this house would only lead to corrupting the other three children.

  No way! Since Ding Xiaoxiao entered this house, Teacher Sun has let Dongdong and Jiangjiang go inside the room and not let them come out. It's just that Ding Xiaoxiao's clothes are too revealing.

  As for the clothes Ding Xiaoxiao is wearing now, it's a coat that Teacher Sun used to wear, barely covering some of her figure, after all there are two men in this room!

  Ding Xiaoxiao is shameless, she wants it.

  When she heard that it was twenty yuan a month, Ding Xiaoxiao's face showed no surprise, but instead indignation. "Twenty yuan! Are you trying to get rid of a beggar!"

  An An couldn't help but rub her brow, thinking that Sun Lao Shi, a man who had been so upright and honest his whole life, could have given birth to such a greedy and stupid son - it was truly an ill omen for eight lifetimes.

  Ms. Sun was not surprised by Ding Xiaoxiao's reaction, her tone was flat, "If you feel that it's not enough, then go back to where you came from, I, Sun Hongmei, will act as if I never had a daughter like you, and in the future, I won't expect you to support me in my old age." The daughter she had been thinking about for so many years, finally met her today, but this meeting was a painful blow to Ms. Sun's heart.

  Ding Xiaoxiao would naturally be unwilling to leave since she will return.

  Only twenty yuan is really a bit too little, she stuck her neck out and fought for her rights. "Then where am I going to live? The rent in Taoson County is not cheap." Twenty yuan alone was not enough for her expenses.

  "House?", Mr. Sun pondered for a moment, but before he could speak, there was a knock at the door. An'an got up to open it, and unexpectedly, it was Grandma who had returned from visiting relatives.

  It was Ding Dajie who sent Grandma back, and the two of them also listened at the door for a while. Although they didn't hear everything, everyone is not stupid, so they could basically guess seven or eight tenths of it.

  An'an was worried and asked, "Grandma, how did you come back?"

  Grandma seems to be in high spirits, her eyes which were dull before are now bright and clear. She's excited, "I heard Xiaoxiao is back, I couldn't stay there any longer, of course I have to come back and see my granddaughter." It's as if she didn't take the things she heard before to heart.

  Grandma patted Anan's head and said, "Anan! Thank you for accompanying this old lady for so long!", Grandma rarely distinguished between Anan and Xiaoxiao, this was one of the few times she called out to Anan.

  When An heard Grandma say this, her heart skipped a beat, and she always felt that there was something behind Grandma's words.

  Then, Ah Nai walked to Ding Xiaoxiao's side. An An wanted to take a step forward but was pulled back by Ding Da Shu. She shook her head at An An, signaling her to wait and see what happens next.

  An'an suppressed the doubts in her mind, and although she had stopped in her tracks, standing still, she was watching with an expression that said if Ding Xiao Xiao dared to be even slightly disrespectful to Ah Nai, she would pounce on him.

  Ding's aunt watched clearly from the side, she sighed and wanted to say that An'an, this granddaughter without blood relationship, was more intimate than Ding Xiaoxiao, the granddaughter with blood relationship.

  Now let's see what the old lady will do.

  Grandma was getting old, her legs and feet were not as agile as before. She slowly walked to Ding Xiaoxiao's side, gently took Ding Xiaoxiao's hand, and Ding Xiaoxiao saw a pair of rough big hands with only two layers of skin left over, she subconsciously wanted to dodge, but Grandma's eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment that was hard to detect. With an air of not allowing refusal, she tightly grasped Ding Xiaoxiao's hand, her voice filled with emotion, "Xiaoxiao! You don't know how much I've missed you all these years!"

  As she spoke, Grandma thought of all these years, day and night, even in her dreams, she was always thinking about Xiaoxiao's well-being outside, her eyes were filled with tears, truly a loving grandmother missing her granddaughter who is not at home.

  Ding Xiaoxiao originally wanted to avoid it, but seeing her usual loving grandma now with tears in her eyes, she gave up struggling and said softly, "Grandma! Xiaoxiao misses you too."

  "I knew it! My granddaughter, who has been suffering for so many years, must be thinking of me, this old lady. I didn't expect that before my death, I could still see Xiaoxiao's face. Heaven is not unfair to me! ", Grandma held Xiaoxiao's hand and chattered on, seeing Xiaoxiao's expression also softened a bit. She changed the subject, "You are the granddaughter of the Ding family, you should follow this old lady and live with her. Now that your mother has remarried, she has nothing to do with our old Ding family. From now on, I, this old lady, will rely on Xiaoxiao to support me in my old age!"

  Seeing Ding Xiaoxiao's expression soften, An An couldn't help but almost laugh out loud, really, an old ginger is still spicy.

  Her heart felt a warmth, no wonder! Grandma had said that kind of thing before, apparently she had already made up her mind to leave the Gu's house and planned to rely on each other with Ding Xiaoxiao.

  This is for the sake of every person in this family. Firstly, it's about Sun Laoshi (Teacher Sun), Grandma can't let her useless granddaughter ruin Teacher Sun's hard-earned family. Secondly, it's about An'an, Xiaoxiao has taken a liking to An'an's partner, and Grandma also has her eye on him, putting Xiaoxiao in this household is just the same as... If Xiaoxiao really doesn't have any shame or conscience, don't ruin An'an's good marriage.

  Although Grandma is old, she has known Lu Yan since early on. In her opinion, she hasn't seen a more outstanding young man than Lu Yan in this life, and pairing him with An An is just right!

  Third, there are Dongdong and Jiangjiang. These two kids are growing up now and will soon become big boys. With Xiao Xiao around, who is not careful with her words, she fears that she might lead the two children astray. When boys grow up, they are naturally curious about the opposite sex, and Xiao Xiao's revealing attire is not suitable for places with many people.

  Tell grandma, since Xiao Xiao can't change, just let her live with this old lady, just the two of them, grandmother and grandson. Xiao Xiao can do whatever she wants, even if it's not wearing anything, anyway, she's already at that age, who knows when she'll fall asleep one day and won't wake up again.

  It can be said that Grandma considered everyone in the family, except for one person who didn't take care of her, and that was Ding Xiaoxiao, who wasn't someone who would take care of the elderly.

  Who says the old lady is confused? Her mind is as clear as a mirror.

  The old lady said this, and Teacher Sun and Anan were about to speak up, but they were stopped by the old lady's wave of her hand. She knew what these two children wanted to say, but she had already made up her mind.

  Grandma seemed to not notice the stiffness and unnaturalness on Ding Xiaoxiao's face, she patted Ding Xiaoxiao's hand back, sighing, "Xiaoxiao, don't you want to live with this old woman?"

  Ding Xiaoxiao's heart was frantically screaming, she didn't want it at all!!

  But Grandma didn't give her a chance to refuse, and continued, "However! Xiao Xiao, you're surnamed Ding, you're one of our Ding family's descendants, your mom is surnamed Sun, and she's already remarried, we can't cause any more trouble for your mom. Now that you're back, the two of us, grandma and grandchild, are a pair, I'll just use my seniority to take over that house that your mom bought before, as our temporary residence."

  "I...won't!", Ting Xiao's voice had just fallen.

  "Your mom gave you 20 yuan for living expenses, if you go out and rent a house, how much will you have left? Living with grandma, I'll cook for you, we can chat together, you can save a lot of rent money, and buy two sets of nice clothes."

  The last two sentences struck a chord in Ding Xiaoxiao's heart.

  She will come back, isn't it just to think about being able to live a life without worrying about food and clothing? Thinking carefully, living with Grandma is not a bad thing, at least she doesn't have to be controlled by her mother, let alone look at the face of her stepfather. The money saved can really be used to buy two sets of beautiful clothes, maybe...

  "Alright! I'll live with you!"

  When Ding Xiaoxiao agreed, Grandma smiled and said, "Ah, good kid!"

  After settling Ding Xiaoxiao's accommodation, it can be said that everyone in the house let out a sigh of relief. An'an is now feeling conflicted, somewhat relieved that she doesn't have to live under the same roof as Ding Xiaoxiao, but thinking about Grandma living with Ding Xiaoxiao makes her involuntarily sigh. She's really worried that Ding Xiaoxiao's temper will shorten Grandma's lifespan!

  This is not a curse, but a fact. At least this Ding Xiaoxiao has an unknown origin, you say she's bad! Still in front of Grandma, it can be said that there is a thread of conscience, but only a thread, barely visible.

  You want her to be good! An'an has to admit that this kind of conscience-ignoring words, she can't say them out loud.

  This meal was originally intended to welcome An'an back home after a long absence, but it's been delayed until now, and it's almost noon, yet no one has had a chance to take a sip of water.

  Grandma sat in the main position, holding Ding Xiaoxiao's hand all the time, pulling her close to home, anyway she had made up her mind, keeping a tight eye on Xiaoxiao without leaving her line of sight for a step.

  Ding Xiaoxiao couldn't sit still, but after all, she hadn't forgotten the last bit of conscience, the old lady in front of her had suffered so much for her over the years, and finally managed to hold back and sat down.

  Gu Weiqiang and Sun teacher were cooking in the kitchen, obviously what they made this morning was not enough, as it's almost time for lunch now. Moreover, today is Ding Xiaoxiao's first time back home for a meal, so Gu Weiqiang took out all the cured meat and sauerkraut that he had been saving. Sun teacher felt a little heartache, but thinking again, Xiaoxiao just came back, Anan has been outside for so long, plus there is also Lu Yan this daughter-in-law, they are not outsiders either, it's time to nourish their bodies, so she didn't stop him.

  Grandma saw through the crack in the door that the couple was cooking in the kitchen, harmonious and happy from the bottom of their hearts. Hongmei had found a good home, she was happier than anyone! Grandma looked at Xiaoxiao with increasing concern.

  There was nothing to be anxious about, so she took Lu Yan into the house. Inside, two little kids had been waiting with bated breath for the adults outside to call them out! But as they waited and waited, the flowers had all wilted, yet still no one came to call them.

  As soon as they heard the sound of the door, the two children's eyes lit up. "Sister! You've finally come in." As for Anan and Lu Yan behind her, these two children originally didn't plan on acknowledging him, but since they had taken Lu Yan's handkerchief before, they honestly called out, "Brother!" This was even more concise than usual.

  An'an happily touched Dongdong and Jiangjiang's heads, saying seriously, "From now on! Our family is going to have an additional sister, do you know that?" Although she didn't like Ding Xiaoxiao, for the sake of Sun Laoshi's face, she had to endure it. Because Sun Laoshi was her mother, and they were a family, even if Ding Xiaoxiao was bad, Sun Laoshi was good to the three siblings.

  Dongdong and Jiangjiang exchanged a glance, speaking in unison, "That shy sister?", although they were not very old, but they were no longer completely innocent little boys either. They had also seen the kind of clothes that Ding Xiaoxiao wore, exposing large areas of skin, and they knew that this was not good, so shy.

  As soon as they were picked up, the two children's faces turned bright red, obviously a bit shy and embarrassed.

  An'an's throat was choked with anger, and she couldn't help but scold Ding Xiaoxiao. "You're so big now, don't you have any sense? Wearing clothes like that outside, what about the little kids?"

  Obviously spoiled the child.

  "Right! Her name is Ding Xiaoxiao, she's Teacher Sun's own daughter! Although you won't be living together later on, you have to know each other! And also...", An'an poked the two little kids' noses, seriously, "That older sister's clothes are not good, you're not allowed to learn from her, or else you'll grow needle eyes later."

  Jiang Jiang stuck out her tongue, "Hmm! We know, it's so embarrassing, I'm dying of embarrassment."

  Winter Winter Harmony.

  Got it! The two kids have been persuaded, everything is fine now!

  But just when An thought the two kids had thoroughly made up, Jiang suddenly popped out with a sentence, "That Ding Xiao is not good to sister! We don't want to like her."

  Winter and Dong nodded heavily, they were in the house but still stuck their ears to the door to listen carefully. That sister was in trouble, "Right! Sister! From now on if she dares to bully you, we'll help you beat her up." Ding Xiao had not even entered this family yet!

  I've already been annoyed by these two bear kids.
