Chapter 99: Village Rumors

Time flies, and half a month has passed quickly.

When Gu Jin took the kid out, he found that all the children in the village stayed away from them.

Especially when they saw the little kid standing next to her, there was fear in the children's eyes.

Looking at this situation, we can tell that they must have been educated a lot by their families.

When educating children in the countryside, the only methods used are slaps and broomsticks.

From then on, the children in the village began to avoid the little brat.

Gu Jin asked An Mingji if he would feel lonely.

An Mingji’s answer was no, he felt that things were good now. In the past, it was common for those people to bully him, and he wished those people would stay away from him.

Gu Jin felt helpless and distressed about this.

If she could be reborn earlier, perhaps she wouldn't have let the little guy suffer so much.

Hugging the child lovingly, Gu Jin told him to be patient for another two months, and then they would go to Wanhai City to go to school, where they would have many friends to play with.

A few days later, Gu Jin discovered that she had become the talk of the village.

This time it had nothing to do with the kid at home, but the rumors directed at her.

I don't know when it started, and I don't know who started the rumor, saying that Gu Jin was mixed up with the ruffians in the county, and that she had been dirty for a long time and was not an innocent girl at all.

Gu Jin was the last to know about this. Although she occasionally took the child out, she spent most of her time at home accompanying the child to review his homework. She also spent the rest of her time researching foods with high nutritional value to nourish the child's body.

The first person in the family to know about it was Chen Hong, and she was so angry that she cursed all the loudmouths in the village.

Gu Jin didn't care when she found out. She continued to make soups and water for the children as usual.

Over the past half month, the boy's injuries have mostly healed, and even his face has regained some flesh.

She decided to raise the child for a while longer, and teach him to practice Xuantian Jue when he was fully recovered.

That day, Gu Jin went into the kitchen again and made delicious food for the children.

Grandpa Gu, Uncle Gu, Chen Hong, and Gu Minmin saw her go to the kitchen, and they all showed expectant looks on their faces.

Not for anything else, just for Gu Jin’s good cooking skills.

They all knew that it was thanks to the little boy that whatever food Gu Jin cooked, there would be a portion for the family.

Although Gu Jin didn’t cook any meat or fish, even if she fried a vegetable, it would be delicious and tasty, leaving a lingering taste in people’s mouths.

Especially the soup she stews is really amazing. The whole family has gained weight recently, all thanks to Gu Jin's good cooking skills.

They didn't know yet the huge disaster they would face in the next half month.

This would be the last bit of joy they had left.

Today, Gu Jin made carrot and pork ribs soup.

Prepare the necessary seasonings and put them into the pot. Pour in three large bowls of water. After the water boils, add the ribs, then add the sliced ginseng, beat two eggs, and finally cover the pot and simmer over low heat.

In a moment, the tempting aroma of spare ribs spread out, and soon the Gu family’s courtyard was filled with the aroma of spare rib soup.

When it was time for dinner, Gu Jin went to eat with Grandpa Gu and his uncle, and then went back to the house to call the little ones who were studying hard.

"Xiao An, wash your hands and have dinner." Her voice came before she even showed up.

“Yes, here it comes!”

The cub's cheerful voice came from inside the house.

Gu Jin walked into the room and found that the kid was already washing his hands in front of the washbasin.

She glanced at the textbook on the bed and the densely written notes on it, and found that the little guy had read half of the book in the morning.
