No matter how angry they are, once they've been informed that the item has been delivered, the mission is considered complete.

As for them, they're not three-year-olds; who can take care of them for their entire lives?

After everyone left, Zhang Yanhong glared at Gu An'an through gritted teeth, "Are you satisfied now that we're living such a miserable life?"

"Hehe, what are you saying? I'm not a saint. The more miserable you all are, the happier I am."

Zhang Yanhong really wanted to rush up and fight without thinking, but she knew even more that she was no match for Gu An'an, and that if she acted rashly, she would definitely suffer a miserable end.

Gu An'an pushed the group aside and walked straight inside, clicking her tongue as she went, "It really was emptied out? I wonder which hero did this."

She acted as if the house that had been emptied wasn't her own.

"Gu An'an, did you do this? Did you move all your things?"

They had been thinking about it for days but couldn't figure out how so many things had disappeared into thin air. Now, a flash of inspiration had struck them, but unfortunately, Gu An'an would never admit it.

"Oh? Which eye saw that? Where are the witnesses? Where is the physical evidence? If you're just spouting nonsense without any evidence, I'll tear your mouth apart."

"You were home alone that night. If you didn't do it, who did?"

Gu An'an turned her head, grinning mischievously, "Looks like you really can't understand human language."

The next second, Gu An'an forcefully tore Zhang Yanhong's face apart, causing her facial muscles to ache terribly.

Unlike some people who would pinch a child's cheek just because they're cute, Gu An'an used a lot of force, and her hand was firmly clamped on the other person's face.

At that moment, Zhang Yanhong felt that her face was saying goodbye to her bones.

"Gu An'an, what are you doing?"

Zhang Yanqing and Zhang Xiaojun made their moves at the same time, and Gu An'an's hand seemed to be fixed on it.

"I just warned her that if she says anything more, I'll tear her mouth apart. You guys don't think I'm joking, do you?"

Gu An'an felt that Zhang Yanhong should be grateful that she had returned to this peaceful era. Her germaphobia had returned, otherwise she would have just reached out and pulled her mouth open from both sides, which would have been quick and effective.

It hurts, it really hurts, the kind of pain that makes you numb.

"Let her go! She's still a young girl. What will happen to her if she's disfigured?"

"Please, I'm begging you, please forgive her this time. We'll stay far away from you from now on and we'll never cause you any more trouble."

Zhang Yanqing was truly terrified.

For a moment, she was thinking about going to the countryside to suffer, so she decided to go with Gu An'an to a place where they would suffer and Gu An'an would not be happy either.

But when she and Zhang Xiaojun tried to pry Gu An'an's hand open but to no avail, that idea immediately vanished.

Faced with absolute power, all schemes and tricks are just paper tigers; she cannot gamble with her life.

Gu An'an might not kill them in public, but what about in private?

It's not entirely impossible to kill one or two people silently in an unfamiliar place.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shudder, and the words of begging for mercy slipped out of her mouth.

"You admit you wronged me?"

Zhang Yanqing nodded immediately.

Gu An'an smiled slightly, her laughter unrestrained. "Then how will you make it up to me?"

Compensation? The three of them widened their eyes simultaneously. Given their current situation, was there anything she could possibly want?

"What...what do you want?"

"We have nothing left!"

Zhang Xiaojun broke down; Gu An'an was clearly a devil.

"How can you say you have nothing? Don't you still have one worthless life? It's only because of my Gu family that you've survived to this day with your three worthless lives."

The three siblings were truly terrified now; Gu An'an was clearly a devil.

"No, if you kill us, you'll pay with your life."

"Yes! As long as you let us go, you can have anything you want."

Gu An'an pondered for a moment and nodded, "Since you've all come to this point, then I'll give you a small punishment as a warning."

Looking around the house, he saw only a few broken things they had somehow gotten their hands on. He curled his lip in disdain and said, "This family is really poor now."

"Yes, everything in the house was stolen."

Zhang Yanqing desperately hoped that Gu An'an would have a change of heart, but reality is always cruel.

"Fine, just give me back the rural subsidies you just received."

The three instinctively reached for their pockets. The subsidies for educated youth were already meager; if they couldn't even hold onto this little bit of food, they feared they would starve to death before they even reached their destination.

"An'an, please spare our lives, this is all we have."

Gu An'an raised an eyebrow. "What does it have to do with me? Of course, when you were planning to steal my job and send me to the countryside, did you ever think about giving me money or things?"

The three siblings felt a pang of anxiety. Of course, they didn't want her to take the tattered clothes and bedding with her.

But they dared not say it.

Seeing their guilty looks, Gu An'an sneered, "I advise you to cooperate obediently, or don't blame me for exposing all the scum you've done in the past."

She didn't explicitly say what it was about, but some people were clearly feeling guilty. "Aren't you afraid we'll call for help, afraid I'll expose your true colors to everyone?"

Gu An'an calmly observed the expressions on their faces. "Go ahead! The gate is over there, but do you think the aunties and grandmas will believe you or me?"

Of course they trusted Gu An'an. It was precisely because they knew this that they had never dared to ask for help, for fear that those people would not be able to save them and would instead plunge them into an even more miserable situation.

"My fists are itching to get used to fighting."

The three of them looked at each other for a while, and finally, under Gu An'an's tyranny, they reluctantly took out the money notes that they hadn't even had a chance to warm up.
