Jiang Anxia quietly made up her mind to go find Gu Yanzhu in the future.

"Xia Bao, we're here, let's go in!" Before they knew it, the two had arrived at the entrance of the Jiang family's house.

"Ah... okay, then you should go back soon too!" Gu Yanzhu's voice pulled Jiang Anxia back from her wandering thoughts.

How did we arrive so quickly? She hadn't been thinking about it for long!

"I'll watch you go in before I leave." Gu Yanzhu released the little girl's hand and raised his own hand to pat the top of her head.

Jiang Anxia subconsciously rubbed against him, staring intently at Gu Yanzhu.

In the end, he could only turn around and enter the courtyard with no other choice.

Gu Yanzhu watched the little girl's figure disappear until she was completely out of sight before turning and leaving.

I saw the little girl today, but I don't know when I'll see her again.

It's okay! Once the weather gets warmer, the little girl should enjoy going out more.

Let's wait a little longer, until the weather gets warmer, then we can see the little girl every day.

Lost in thought, Gu Yanzhu arrived home before she knew it.

"Hey...Ayan, you're back!" Lin Bai, who was chopping wood, looked up and saw Gu Yanzhu entering the yard.

"Hmm," Gu Yanzhu replied coolly.

"Ayan, what have you been doing going out every day lately? Isn't it cold outside?" Lin Bai really couldn't understand.

In this freezing weather, everyone would prefer to stay at home.

Gu Yanzhu, on the other hand, goes out every day without ever complaining about the cold.

Gu Yanzhu looked at Lin Bai with a cold gaze, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore." With just one look, Lin Bai surrendered.

Mainly, he didn't want to die young.

It's good to be alive.

Gu Yanzhu then withdrew her gaze and turned to go inside.

Lin Bai, who remained where he was, grinned, a silent protest.

If he weren't outmatched, Lin Bai would have definitely beaten Gu Yanzhu to the ground.

Forget it, he'll just have to think about it. He should just chop wood instead!

Back in her room, Gu Yanzhu found the book she hadn't finished reading yesterday and started reading it again.

He always felt that the policy wouldn't stay the same forever. One day it would change, and as for when, Gu Yanzhu believed that day would come soon.

Unbeknownst to her, Gu Yanzhu had already quietly learned of a major event that would occur in the future.

After Jiang Anxia returned to the courtyard, Jiang Nanqing, similar to Gu Yanzhu, was also chopping firewood.

I used a lot of force, swish, swish.

"Xiaxia's back! It's cold, come back inside quickly, I've heated the kang for you." Jiang Nanqing said immediately when she saw Jiang Anxia return.

"Okay, thank you, Third Brother." Jiang Anxia smiled sweetly.

She likes it when people care about her feelings.

"Come inside quickly! It's too cold." Jiang Nanqing's lips curled slightly, revealing a faint smile.

"Okay." Jiang Anxia nodded obediently and went back to her room.

As soon as I entered, just as Jiang Nanqing had said, a wave of heat hit me, all because the kang (heated brick bed) was warm.

Jiang Anxia's eyes also turned red in an instant, with tears welling up in them.

She raised her head, refusing to let the tears fall from her eyes.

But it seemed to be in vain; tears still flowed and dripped to the ground in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Anxia was deeply moved; her fate was truly extraordinary.

In her previous life, she had loving parents who, although they passed away, left her several properties, allowing her to study without having to work part-time.

In this life, she still encountered a family who treated her very well, caring for and looking after her.

All of this made Jiang Anxia very happy. She was not an abandoned child, but a child who was wanted by someone, and not a lonely person.

Jiang Anxia was both glad and worried about coming here; she was truly a woman of many worries.

Forget it, she decided not to think about it anymore. So much time had passed, and she had gotten used to it all.

Jiang Anxia wiped her face and pounced onto the kang (a heated brick bed).

Hmm... she still prefers the warm and cozy kang (heated brick bed).

These are what I've been relying on to survive this winter.

Jiang Anxia's legs were still swinging happily, and her face was constantly rubbing against the soft quilt.

In no time, Jiang Anxia's fair and tender face turned bright red from rubbing it so much.

She slowly stopped when she felt a burning sensation on her face.

Tsk... Her face is so tender. Even just rubbing against this soft blanket makes her look like this. It's really heartwarming.

Jiang Anxia thought to herself.

This life is so comfortable; I wish it could always be like this.

She thought it over and realized it was impossible forever, so she should enjoy life as much as she could now!

It seems I still need to work harder for a more relaxed, laid-back life in the future.

Time slips away unnoticed when you're thinking about things.

When Jiang Anxia raised her wrist and glanced at her watch, she was surprised to find that it was already 6:30.

The sky outside the window quietly darkened.

"What are you doing here?" Jiang's mother frowned as she looked at the group of people in front of her, feeling quite uneasy.

What are they doing here in the dark?

"What? No matter what, I'm still your sister-in-law, can't I even come and see her?" Lin Cuihua said in a shrill voice, looking at Jiang's mother who was blocking her way.

"Heh...that's not necessarily true." Mother Jiang's eyes were fixed on Lin Cuihua, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"You... fine, I won't talk to you about this. I came here today to talk to you about something." Lin Cuihua choked on her words, and her expression immediately turned ugly.

But they dared not refute anything and could only helplessly change the subject.

"What is it?" Jiang's mother raised an eyebrow.

Lin Cuihua is definitely up to no good, and she doesn't want to hear it.

As soon as Jiang Anxia came out, she saw Lin Cuihua and the others still standing at the gate of the courtyard.

But from beginning to end, only Lin Cuihua spoke; the others all looked at Jiang's mother with arrogance.

Jiang Anxia sneered, "No wonder she's related to Jiang Xiaohua."

Yes, the people who came were Jiang's father's elder brother's wife and daughter, namely Jiang Anxia's aunt Lin Cuihua, her cousin Jiang Xiaoyan and her son Liu Peng, and her cousin Jiang Jiabao.

Jiang Anxia learned from the original owner's memories that her father's eldest brother's family were not kind people.

This couple, in particular, are extremely sexist, and that's why Jiang Xiaohua has become the way she is today.

In truth, it's all because of certain ideas that some people have been harmed!

"It's nothing, my daughter Xiaohua is getting married in five days and we're having a banquet. Just remember to come." Lin Cuihua pouted.

She had no desire to associate with this sister-in-law and even preferred to stay away from her.

Jiang Anxia strolled over to her mother, a slight smile playing on her lips as she greeted her, "Mom, Aunt."

"Hmm, why did you come out?" Jiang's mother turned her head slightly to look at Jiang Anxia.

"I heard a noise, so I came out to check," Jiang Anxia explained softly.

Just then, a sharp pain came from Jiang Anxia's calf, and she looked down.

It was a child who kicked her hard in the shin.

Jiang Anxia immediately frowned and her face turned cold.

This child is Liu Baojia, Jiang Xiaoyan's son.
