Returned home from hospital at noon, just in time for lunch.

  It turned out that Secretary Ding had specially given Gu Weiqiang a two-hour advance notice to get off work today. When Anan and the others arrived, Gu Weiqiang was busy in the kitchen, with several dishes already laid out on the table. Upon hearing the sound of cars roaring in the courtyard, he turned his head to look out the window, raised his large spoon, and shouted, "You've finally come back! If you hadn't returned, this food would have gone cold!"

  Gu Wei Qiang's voice was loud and full of energy, his one shout made the entire courtyard hear clearly.

  It was mealtime, and every household was eating at home. Some people, for the sake of excitement, carried a bowl from head to tail, eating and chatting while walking. Gu Wei's loud shout attracted many people who were visiting neighbors, and they all turned their heads to look downstairs.

  It doesn't matter at first glance, but it's really true that good sons-in-law are always from other families. Look, Gu An'an and Lu Yan aren't even married yet!

  Every now and then, Lu Yan's son-in-law would drive over, bringing carload after carload of things. Nowadays, not only does he bring things, but also when someone on the wife's side falls ill, he treats them like his own family members, rushing about, going back and forth in his car.

  He Dali next door had red eyes as she happened to be holding a bowl and chatting with Qian Shu at the door.

  At the sight of this, her intestines were regretful, she opened her mouth and said, "Look at him, he's someone else's son-in-law, not like our family's good-for-nothing. Our daughter married him and now she has to support him, that good-for-nothing! Every day, he just stretches out his hands for clothes and opens his mouth for food, it's infuriating!"

  Aunt Qian naturally knew who the good-for-nothing was in He Dali's mouth. She held a bowl and took a big mouthful of coarse rice, somewhat sympathizing with the good-for-nothing in He Dali's words. With unclear articulation, she retorted, "Dali! This is unfair. The person is married into their family, and later when your family's Yanqin has children, they will also have the surname He. It's normal for them not to work. Besides, later on, the child will still call that man 'dad'. You keep calling him a good-for-nothing, what are you going to let the children think?"

  He Dali angrily said, "I don't care what he thinks, which family's live-in son-in-law doesn't work? A lazy bum and you can't even say it? What kind of logic is this?"

  Aunt Qian couldn't help but burst out laughing, teasing, "Your family's live-in son-in-law doesn't do any work!", she saw He Dali's face change and quickly added, "Not to mention the older one, there's also your family's Zhenzhen! Zhenzhen is a beautiful girl with high education, and just the other day there was a matchmaker who came to discuss marriage, I heard that the boy's side has good conditions? They only have one child, if your family's Zhenzhen marries into their family, in the future all of their property will belong to the young couple."

  Mentioning this, He Dali got even angrier. Their family's Huang Zhenzhen had already ruined her reputation in this regard. Originally, they wanted their daughter to marry someone nearby so that they could take care of her afterwards. However, people around them who knew Zhenzhen's temper didn't dare to come and propose a marriage.

  The matchmaker who came to propose the marriage said that the man's family was from a neighboring county, and his parents worked at a meat processing factory. They were both working-class families, so it shouldn't be hard for them to find a daughter-in-law locally. However, this man had some flaws, which he described vaguely as having a "麻子脸" (pockmarked face). To He Dali, a pockmarked face was just that - as long as the family could provide for her daughter, she wouldn't suffer after marrying into their household.

  But Huang Zhenzhen, as soon as she heard that the man was pockmarked, immediately disagreed and started making a scene. He Dali gave the matchmaker two dollars as hush money and told her to speak well of them on her way back.

  As for Zhen's reaction, it must be kept secret.

  As soon as the matchmaker left, He Dali immediately slapped Huang Zhenzhen and scolded her, "If you continue like this, no one in the neighboring county will look at you, just wait to be a spinster for the rest of your life."

  This slap was enough to make the mother and daughter sworn enemies. "I'd rather die than marry you!", she said, and from that day on, Huang Zhenzhen went on a hunger strike at home.

  Why didn't Mei Da Li eat lunch at home? It's because looking at her own spoiled and arrogant daughter made her lose her appetite.

  She heard Qian Auntie flattering herself that her little daughter-in-law's family conditions were good, and He Dali was speechless with grievances! She couldn't say that her own daughter wasn't looking up to them, this would make the old He family a laughing stock in the neighborhood. She dryly laughed a few times, without explaining.

  An'an and Lu Yan supported Grandma upstairs, while Sun Laoshi and Dongdong, Jiangjiang, each carried large and small bags back and forth. Especially when Lu Yan was supporting Grandma with one hand, the other hand was holding two wild chickens that had almost died, which were hit by Lu Yan using a wooden crate during yesterday's mission in the mountains, but they had been left in the car's trunk due to lack of time. The barely alive wild chickens managed to survive with great difficulty!

  Lu Yan held the pheasant in his left hand, and the pheasant hung its head, weakly clucking, without even the strength to flap its wings, apparently this chicken was a bit carsick.

  Actually, Lu Yan alone could have carried Grandma back, but Grandma was unwilling and wanted to walk by herself. An An just helped support her on one side as they walked. When they passed by He Dali and Qian Shu, An An nodded at Qian Shu in greeting, while completely ignoring He Dali.

  For An'an, Qian Auntie is slightly better than He Dali, but that's just a little bit. Qian Auntie picked up the bowl and chopsticks, covering them with her hands, and smiled, "Hey, An'an! This old lady has recovered well!" When Ding Xiaoxiao took the old lady and Gu An'an out together, everyone in the big courtyard saw it clearly.

  It's just that no one knows what happened after they were taken out, how Ding Xiaoxiao disappeared, and the old lady was hospitalized directly. An'an has been staying at home for these few days too. Although they don't know what happened, people's imagination is always rich, and to some extent, they can guess that something big must have happened, which led to this outcome.

  Don't hit a smiling face, Aunt Qian's attitude is like this. An'an didn't say anything good or bad, she nodded and said, "Right! Thanks for Aunt Qian's concern." When seeing people, speak their language; when seeing ghosts, speak their language - An'an still knows this much.

  Especially the aunt living in this courtyard, if you don't have to be enemies, then don't be enemies. After all, these aunts' big mouths can be very damaging. If there's conflict later on, who knows how they'll gossip about them behind their backs?

  "Ah! I told you so! Good people are naturally blessed, and among us, An'an is the most outstanding one in our big yard. Her mouth is also very sweet! Of course, 'outstanding' refers to An'an's appearance and achievements, plus she has already found a good partner early on. An'an's appearance is exceptional in this regard, it's really hard to find a girl who shines brighter than her. As for her achievements, since An'an came to Taishan County High School, every family with a student knows that An'an's grades have never fallen out of the top spot."

  The object of their admiration is Lu Yan, who has now become the ideal son-in-law that everyone in the teaching staff's residential compound yearns for. Whenever a family has a daughter, her parents would mention it as soon as they open their mouths: "If you have what it takes, go find someone like Lu Yan and bring him back; we guarantee not to rush you."

  An An heard Qian Auntie's praise and just lowered her head, pursed her lips and smiled. Seeing that An An didn't respond, Qian Auntie changed the subject, "This young man is really handsome!" Seeing that Lu Yan and An An both didn't respond, she said to herself, "Is it called Lu Yan? I don't know if you have any brothers of the same age on your side who can be introduced to our big courtyard's girls. After all, the water should flow to one's own field, not others'!"

  Money aunt said this, He Dali also put down the bowl and stopped eating, immediately raised her head, eyes brightened, since Lu Yan is already the son-in-law of the Gu family, if there are good friends or brothers like Lu Yan, introducing them to Zhenzhen is not bad either.

  An An felt a bit awkward, but Lu Yan freed up one hand to pat An An on the back. His tone was flat as he said "No!", two words that completely shattered Aunt Qian and He Dali's thoughts.

  He Dali muttered under her breath, "Is it because you look down on us poor people?"

  Lu Yan's hearing was so sensitive, straightforward and direct, "Yes!"

  He Dali's face turned pale with anger!

  An An was killed by Lu Yan's straightforward words and had walked a long way before she couldn't help it anymore, her shoulders shaking with laughter as she burst out laughing.

  "Yan Ge! You're going to kill someone with anger! ", Haven't you seen He Dali's face, it's like an overturned palette, red and green, green and purple.

  "They're bullying me!", Lu Yan said with some grievance, while An An, that little girl, was laughing so hard she was shaking all over, truly a heartless little thing.

  An An suppressed her smile, waved her hand seriously and said, "Comrade Lu Yan, don't you think it's beneath you to be with Gu An An?" She knew that Lu Yan's family background was not simple, and he had his own ways of making money. To be honest, if they were compared in terms of family background, the Gu family was far inferior to the Lu family. An An had always been aware of this, but she thought, what did it matter? She wasn't bad off herself either!

  Lu Yan stretched out his hand from behind Grandma's back, pinched An An's face, and looked at Grandma with a lowered voice. "An An, whether you're poor or rich, I like you!" He liked An An, and it had nothing to do with whether she had money or not. Moreover, did she really think he didn't know? This girl earned money faster than anyone else!

  Even he felt some pressure, afraid that if he wasn't careful, this little girl would surpass him, and then wouldn't he only be able to play the role of a pretty boy?

  Suddenly, An's cheeks flushed with a faint red glow that spread from her cheeks to the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, even her transparent pale pink ears were stained with a thick layer of crimson. She proudly patted her chest, "Yuan Ge! I won't despise you either." After saying this, she felt that the sentence was too misleading, so she immediately added, "No matter if you have money or not! I still won't despise you."

  Lu Yan couldn't help but glance at An An, who was looking adorable with her shy expression. Although she was clearly embarrassed, she pretended to be proud and patted her chest, which made Lu Yan's smile deepen. "Hmph! We don't despise each other," he said, thinking that they were a perfect match, how great is that!

  The two of them thought the voice was small, but they were so close, and Grandma stood between them. Where could they escape from Grandma's ears? Hearing what these two children said, Grandma smiled silently.
